MACREADYs DYING SPoT.-Mr. Macready was
never popular with stock actors. He annoyed
them exceedingly at rehearsals, by giving every
man his particular place the stage, SO that in
the picture presented he should be the centre
This actor nEst stand here, that actor there-it
was his will
On one of the nights of his last engagement in
New Orleans, when he was to play Hamlet, he was
very particular, st rehearsal in the disposition of
characters at the fall of the curtain. He had Sc
lected the most commanding place on the stage,
well down to the lights, and declared that there
he intended to die. 1t SO happened that as the
fatal moment was approaching just after Hamlet
had stabbed the king, his maesty took it into his
head to die the spot selected by the philosophic
Dane. The poison was burning in Hamle:s
veins; he in the agonies Of DEATH but still he
found time to say, soto oocs to his step father
"Back-back-Tm going to die there"
The blood of outraged royalty was up, and the
stabbed monarch replied
I'm King and Ill die where please-pick out
place for yourself"
And Hamlet was compelled to let his soul ou.

another had closed up after sinking its entire capi
tai of million and quarter; a steamship compa-
ny had been defrauded of a quarter of million
and an Australia agricultural company had souan,
dered two millions of dollars and seven thousand
acres of land, the shareholders, meanwhile, being
kept in profound ignorance of the condition of af
fairs In the intense political excitement now pre-
