On Monday we gave some curious Developments
connected with the state Of morality in the clerical
| world; yesterday we gave other curious and rich
/ devclspements, connected with the morals Of the
asAionable boarding schools and the world Of educa-
ton; and today give some interesting statements
connected with the progress of morality in the
fashionable theatrical world. These are the richest
and most curious of any.
Every one has heard Of the beautiful Mrs. Shaw,
the presiding genius Of the Bowery; her exquisite
form, finely moulded bust, luxurious rnglets daz-
zling eyes, fascinating mouth, and bewching smile,
are so we'll knows as to become almost matters Of
historical record. or her husband little has been
known until recently and he has had to be the her
aid Of his own story, and the trumpctcr of his own
fame At any rate they are man and wife; one
is good actress the stage, the other is indf-
ferent actor off the stage; they have had quar-
REL or rather series OF qnarrels; sort of five act
melo- dramatc quarreling spectacle, upon which the
curtain is about to fall and Of which this appears to
be the true history.
The beautiful and fascinating Eliza Mary Anne
Tomiinson or Trewar, born in London,

named Tomlinson who used to act at different coun-
try theatres lin vulgar parlance, strolling payer).
and no also played at various private theatres in
London for pay; it being easy to get young men, and
diff cult to get young women to play at those places
At the early age Of Is years, just IL years ago, she
made her first appearance on the stage Of the Ts-
tenham-street theatre (ncw the Queens and then a
E,n;I To,fLi npf0 IN he nj
of the /" Poor Gentleman" At this and other pr-
vate theatres she played for four five years,
until having shown considerable signs Of talent, she
was transferred to the boards of of the regular
theatres She then married actor named Hooper,
by whom she had very lovely boy, new at the Blue
Coat School in London, where, we understand, he
has been placed by Mr.. Shaw.
Before she was twenty years Of age the lovely
Mrs. Hooper left widow with this enc child.
She still continued to act at various places, with
various success, until Mr.. Shaw, her present has
band saw fell in love with, and married her, in 1888
contrary to the wishes Of his mother, who keeps
a respe ctable hotel in Bedford street, Covent
Garden. In about a year after this marriage, she
gave birth to another beautiful boy, nsw living at the
Golden Swan, Philadelphia In two years after this
she went play at Liverpool, where she established
her theatrical reputation. This induced Mr. Price
to engage her for the Park, and she came to this
country about the year 1886, and played, it will
be remembered, with very COED success, between
Miss Trees engagements. MIR. Shaw, her husband,
was educated for surgeon, and just before leaving
England he filled the office Of house surgeon at the
Blue Coat School, in London. He, however, relin-
qrished his profession in order to travel with his
wife, and therefore had TO depend upon her profes.

ted him several sums of money for time but latterly
this supply has been cut OFT.
Such is the short and eventual history q Mr. and
Mrs Shaw up 10 their arrival in this country. After
leaving the Park, Mrs. Shaw went west and south,
and at New Orleans became great favorite, as in
deed she has every where been, with managers, and
editors, and amateurs, and green room loungers and
other loafers and the audiences generally, who

Orleans she the especial favorite OF Mr.. Cald.
well, and of Recorder Baldwin, and various ether
dignares, including two three silly editors, all
Of HON felt for her the most virtuous regard and
invariably paid her pure Platenic attentions. Her
husband, like all foolish and foad husbands became
jealous Of his beautiful wife either with without
cause, it is hard to say which; he refused to allow
than two pair Of legs TO be placed uuder his
dinner table, more than one hat TO be hung up in
his hail. and upon the occasion oil seeing, like Bonn
bastes Furoso, strange hat, or a strange pair OF
boots within his domicile, he raised u row, and
scandal says, struck at his beautiful wife, her nails
mt being long enough TO wound him, she gave hin
q cut with the carving knife. This, he thought was
the unkndest Of ALL and he hit her the he ad
.The man who Laws is hand upon woman
Save IN the way of kindness, is wretch
Whom iwsre gross fattery to call coward
Aud therefore she had him rut in the caiboose;
hence Mr.. Caldwell released him; and after
wards the loving couple came north. Her enga-
cement At the Park passed over with a few private
fights and domestic squabbes, and al last Mrs Shaw
was engaged by Mr.. Hamblin the grand card Of
traction his theatre his the rising OF the
tain for the fifth act Of this splendid moral spectacle
Mrs. Shaw either did, fall in love
with Hambln; II she did he could not help IL; IL she
did aot, there IN no harm done. Her husband became
jealous, and Mrs. shaw became jealous and then
sights ensued, and one night the beautiful and lovely
deeply, and she took especial pains to display At
its full size the gaping wound to the gaping audience
At last matters grew 10 great height; every time
she lett home there was war Of words, and every
time she returned home there a Of fists.
Neither would yield inch, and they had TO
fight. The plot thickened--the catastrophe APP
preached. One day MIR. Shaw came home and found
MIR. Hambln IN his parlor with his wife, calmly and
philc sephiealy discussing the merits Of piece,
and poisting out ITS beauties and most prominent
points This he foolish enough TO be angry about,
and said all such business must be transacted at the
theatre At the theatre he raised such riot that
business could be done.
Mrs. Shaw appealed T. Hamblin for protection and
advice; ne like generous fellow feeling for pretty
in distress, SAID h. would take her into
consideration; about the time, the pretty Miss
Sarah Verify applied TO him for advice; Mrs. Shaw
insisted her should be heard first; Miss Verify
insisted that hers should have precedence. Mr..
