Ballet girls are seldom required in thea
ter except when burlesques or panlomimes
are played. They receive about twcaty five
shillings week. 1t is an error TO suppose
that, as rule, they are ''fast." On the con-
trary they are usualyithe daughters or nieces
of actors, and they work honestly for a
small pittance.
Besides the persons already enumerated
there are, on the working staff of lheater,

THE WARDROBE.

At the head OF this department is master
tailor and mistress of the wardrobe. The
silks and satins used on the stage are usually
bought wholesale. The dresses for large
burlesque or pantomime cost many hun
dred pounds. Actresses are obliged to find
their own bonnets, boots and gloves. Actors
in plays of modern life find their own
dresses.

These bright particular luminaries some
times receive as high as sixty pounds week,
or they share the receipts after expenses.
Their great object is to play a piece with
which they may aflerward make The tour OF
the province; they therefore, as much as
possible, eschew those which require eabo-
rate and expensive scenery. AS II rule, ,lheis
engagements are moer profitable TO them
selves than to the managers who pay them.
Their lofty estimate of their talents slauds in
the way of their financial success. No play
suits them unless lis whole interest is con
centrated on themselves, and the public will
not put up with that what is called ''one
actor pieces"

Some time ago the managers of the prn-
cipal theaters met together in order to con-
cert measures to diminish the lavish outlay
in advertising end posting that has become
the custom. They were, however, unable
to agree upon a common code of rules.
Newspaper advertising costs about f40
weekly. and posting rather larger sum.
COULD managers agree not to put above one
advertisement in each newspaper, and were
they to take stations where bills from each
theater might be exhibited, ,they would all of
them be gamers, and the general public
would not be losers.

In MEMoRIAM.-It is a sad thing to
chronicle the departure of useful citi-
zen, even when he leaves this life with
his relatives all around him, and has
bad time to set his house in order, but
when one gees mysteriously, swiftly
and as ''soft as the aews from heaven"
it is doubly sad. Yesterday we saw a
crowd of men standing mournfully
around what appeared to be a place
where lard keg had busted. There
were plug hat, paper collar, bunch
of gray whiskers, note book and lot
! of pencils. We asked the cause of the
row, and were informed that the re-
porter of the Intelligenca' had melted
there. We could we'll believe it.
Nothing but an application of iced
beverages saved us from like fate.

A JoKIse swEErNEss.-We sp.ppos
there is no need of our seyir.g that VI
dote upon q jest within, the limit o
becoming mirth, and that, in the full
ness of our unselfisb soul, when we ge
a good 'un, we divide it with our read
ers, that they, being friends of ours, ma.
share in the fun.
The following was told Us day o.
two since:
There is in the city a gentleman
we'll to do, who has beautiful and &C
compfsbed.. daughter. "Charming'
scarcely conveys an adeq aate idea o.
this young lady. She had Fashionable
hair that fell gorgeously to the rear o.
q graceful alabaster neck !: her eyes
were dark and soft, and rich like molten
molasses her cheeks bloomed with
color the roses would have envied; bel
lips were cherry red and poutipg; her
we will not mention her nose, Hei
form was perfection itself. Everybody
was in love with her. For want of q
better rhyme
THE glance of her eve was blue ruin;
Her blush was the blood of the vinei
Her poat was q punch in whose brewing
Tart, sugar and spirit combined"
We have said that everybody loved
her. There is one whs loves her beyond
all Others. His name is George. George
is a sweet name, and when it belongs
to a young man of "poor but respecta,
BILE" parentage, tight pants, bob-tailed
coat, box. toed boots and an incipient
moustache, it is name that fingers
lovingly on the lips of beauty. Well,
George paid his count to the young lady
and her ducats, with all the ardor of a
lover suffering from severe attack OF
financial embarrassment. After "skir-
mishing around" considerably, he
popped" and was referred to papa.
Papa, who fully understood his bust
ness, assumed the role of hard-hearted
PARENT, and at once said nay. II papa
had been horse his nay could not have
been more terrible. But stern papas
have been circumvented. Love laughs
at locksmiths. Girls are always keen
for an elopement-vide Beadle's Dime
Novels-so George wrote q note to the
young lady proposing carriageAtwo
o'clock in the morning-away to Penn
sylvania-"two hearts with but sim
gle, &c."-thine only and forever-and
80 much other nonsense that the young
lady was satisfied that it was her stamps
and not herself be was impatient to fold
to his manly breast. Anxious to give
him quiet lesson, she procured cante-
lope, and on the smooth side with a
penknife engraved very accurately and
neatly human eye. This she sent her
impatient lover, who was nonplussed.
He didn't know what to make of it.
He called on our informant, among
others to give him the needed informa-
ton. Among them they solved the an
swer, II (eye) cant-elope." And she
didn't. George is now studying Har-
vey's Meditatiops.

LOOK OUT!-We are told that within
the past few days large amount OF
fractional currency, Of the denomination OF
tpeRty. fire cents, has been put in circnla'
ton 10 the city. A proprietor of an ice
cream saloon had three of these passed
on him Saturday evening. They are
said to be very poorly executed. Or
course we cannot speak from experience
IN this matter, as it is not to be supposed
that We Local ever gets to see anything
that looks like money. Those who do,
however, would do well to be on the
look out.-IntelHgencer Of yesterday
The italics are ours. We use them for
the purpose of calling attention to the
extraordinary announcement that TWEEN
ty-five cent fractional currency is in cir
culatiou, and that people are warned
to "look little out" as it is written In
German. Of course people are on the
look out for twenty-five cent currency.
And for fifteen cent. We believe there
are those among us who are watching
for ten cent shinnies. An ice cream sa-
loon proprietor had three of these TWEEN
ty-fve cent fellows passed Cd him on
Saturday evening, did hef Well, we
don't think he can brag of his business.
But there is a slur on the Government
engraver contained in the above extract
that warrants us in pronouncing Its
writer disloyal. His remarks are calcu-
lated to bring twenty five cent shinplas-
tiers into disrepute. He says they are
poorly executed. So was the fellow
they hung in Pennsylvania the other
day. But he went off for all that. We
hope that this attempt on the part OF
the Intelligencer to bring our currency
into disrepute will not 60 unwhipped OF

READY FOR BURGLARS.-A well-known
citizen residing on the Island, heard the
other evening, sundry strange noises in
the kitchen. He had been asleep, and
wakened up with his head full of
thoughts of burglars. He raised him
self up on one elbow and listened
There could be no mistake about it
some one was in his kitchen. Hastily
grasping his revolver, he shouted loud
enough 10 scare all the nocturnal depre

scolding nor coaxing had any effect h'
banged away with his revolver. Th'
roar of the pistol was accompanied
with a most unmistakable female squea
and shrek, and from the darkness
emerged Bridget, the gentleman's hired
girl, who had got up in the dark and il
