ca-The following story, ut the expense
of the popular manager of 1.-THE foremost
theatre III America" is going the rounds
OF the papers:
Not many years ago one of the most
successful and enterprisim3 of the present
American managers was Il scene painter
at Boston theatre. But, though ap-
parcntly devoted 10 the pencil and brush,
he fclt within him the soul OF Rvscius,
rather than of Beverly, and secretly long
ed for listrionic fame. To tread the
boards before applauting thousands-to
appear in front of the scenes instead of
painting thcm-this was his ardent but
concealed ambition. How his ambition
was gratitied and with what results, is Il
story too Ion" reserved by Manager $
lor his private friends.
In the course of Il starring tour, Edwin
Forrest came 10 Boston, and - was
delighted. There was an actor, How
he should like to play with Forrest, In
Il freak of good humor, fortune gave him
the opportunity. damon and Pythias"
WIS announced, with Mr.. Forrest as
Damon: but no one would take the
part Of Lucullus. Perhaps you have
seen the play? If not, let me inform
vou that Lucullus is the faithful slave of
Damon, who kills his masters horse to
prevent him from returning to die in
stead OF Pythias. When Damon finds
that his horse Is dead he abuses Lucullus
violently. and this scene always ''brings
down the house" Mr.. Forrest is the
most muscular of tragcdians, and reports
of the manner in which he vented his
fury in damon and Pythias' had
reached Boston and caused the shrewd
minor actors to shirk the part Of Lucul-
lus. Thus came the chance for which

lie volunteers his service and the great
tragcdian, after critically inspecting the
slight, bpyiSh figure of 5, accepted
the volunteer, and rehearsed with him
The rehearsals all went smoothly.

What is the Condition Of Your
Cetidr.?

Is it damp, close, filled with disagree
able odors, proceeding from terminating
or decaying vegetables +! If so, it is high
time you gave the matter your earnest
attention; for you have in that locality,
the germs of disease, and yourself and
family are liable to be prostrated at any
moment. You think your basement Is
in good sanitary condition do you know
that it is ? Have you fairly and care
fully examined the premises Have
YOU looked over the potatoes, turnips,
squashes, and other vegetables, to ascer-
tain their condition We know that
diptheria, typhoid and scarlet fevers, and
many other most serious illnesses, have
their origin in cellars, both in city and
country and we can do our readers no
groater service than to urge them to see
that, at all times, they are in dry,
sweet, wholesome condition. Why
should farmers and farmers families, liv-
ing in tue country, away from the pes
tilential vapors OF cities, be 50 subject to
attacks of malignant diseases
There Is reason for it, and we can
point II out. lhey arise from tthe III
difference manifested TO the observance
of hygienic rules, and the violation Of
sanitary laws. Cleanliness is essential TO
health, and is just as necessary in the
country as in the city. \ family living
over a foul cellar is more liable TO be
poisoned and afflicted with illness than
city family living in its polluted atmos-
phere, but without cellar or basement
lilled with termenting roots and truits.
There is far more sickness in the coun-
try among husbandmen than there ought
to be. With plenty of pure air, water
and exercise, the evil imp, disease, ought
to be kept at bay; and he would be, If
Il better observance of certain hygienic
conditions were maintained. But con-
ditIoned cellars, small, close sleeping rooms,
toves,-the,e are all agents of evil, and
are fast making the homes OF farmers al
most rs unhealthy as those of the dwell
ers in cities. Are not these suggestions
worthy of consideration !-BostoH Jour-
