the world is a nice, bright, pleasant place

is dark and dismal. IF you want to feel

SALARIES or ACToRs.-It would appear
that salaries increase as desert diminishes.
Perhaps the scarcity of even the inferior
article has a tendencyto put famine price
upon it. In the time OF the Kembles &95
week was considered an enormous salary.
John Kemble had el2 a week; Munden
never had more until he reached his famous
farewell night; Mrs. Glover's salary in her
best days never exceeded ELS a week. Far
rem. when he made his great hit. and sprang
into the highest place in the profession,
had only SIS. Marx the contrast between
those palmy days and the present and recent
time. Macready, beginning successfully
and laboring assiduously, gradually worked
up from $50 a week to G40 a night. Mr..
Wright for some years enjoying
salary of ESQ a week at the Adelphi,
transferred his services to the Princess's,
at salary rising in three years TO
Gas a week. Miss NOolgar received els a
week: Mr. Blackstone 925; MT. FitZwiuiam
600. and the Keely's s40. When Power
used to appear latterly at the Haymarket he
received for about an hours performance in
a rollicking Irish farce the prodiglous sum
of fl20 week. To say the least, these are
rich rewards for the few who contribute TO
the maintenance of the stage. The church,
the bench, the army, the navy, even cabinet
ministers themselves may envy the happy
fortune of the popular actor. When we add
to these charges other current expenses of
a theatre, ii becomes matter of astonish-
ment BY what soreery the managers of these
costly establishments contrive to keep their
doors open. The regular charges at Drury
Lane were about S2l0 per night, and fre-
ouently exceeded that amount. The or
binary expenditure Of the Haymarket rang.

engagements, from 9l00 to fls0.-iSporting

A Wisconsin Democratic paper upbraided
Congress for "flching the peoples money
to pay pampered clerks when the House
passed the twenty per cent addition bill,
and then condemned its action reversing
the vote, as denying to poor, hRlf-staryed
clerks "the petty twenty per cent they ask
for bread This is on par with the actio
of the Democrats in Congress. They are
forever charging the Republicans with ex-
