knows John Woodard, who has in
times past been stage manager at
Piper's Opera House. and appeared
upon the stage himself as al actor Of
no small degree of merit. John is a
genial soul, and tries to take the world
rs easy as possible /; but once N a while
a startling little episode cur even to
him. The San Francisco Figaro Of
Friday last has the following item re-
garding him: ''John Woodland, the
well-knOwn stage manager and actor,
has for some time past withdrawn him
self from the gaze Of the public, and
retired into the shades Of private life.
He is living on Tehama street, and is
known as : Masaniello, the fisherman
of Long Bridge For hours at Il time
he may be seeii on that noble structure,
waiting for a nibble. For months
nothing occurred to break the peaceful
monotony of his life until last Monday
night. John was sleeping the calm
sleep of innocence; in Il cot In the
same room was Baby Hanks Il little
girl. John Woodlands house Is within
n few feet of the building which fell on
Minna street, and when that wall came
down, rip, tear, through the roof OF
his house came a thirty-foot plank, and
crash through the bed OH which baby
Hanks was sleeping. John, who is not
over-courageous, thought the day of
Judgment had come, but had sufficient
presence Of mind to rush to the bed
and eXtricate the terrified child, who
was fortunately unhurt. Woodland III
tends to introduce this sensation into
his next play"
Liberal DIcK.-Liberal Dick, from
the Truckee, was at the Opera House
evening before last. Some said he was
a Legislator from Carson, but that
could hardly be, rs they arc all
strapped.) Dick was ina private box
with q lot of "shoo-tly" companions,
and had lots OF beer In him, so he was
happy as we'll as generous. When
that little bit of n Darling came out in
the interlude and danced her little
Highland fling so prettily, and some
of the audience threw half-doiiarS on
the stage for ner to pick up, Dick fol-
lowed suit, for he vas not to be out
done in liberality. In his overween-
ing enthusiasm, however, he made a
fearful blundcr, and threw 4 $40 gold
piece instead of Il halt-dollar. The
little one was overjoyed mt her good
luck, and was gleefully exhibiting that
big piece of gold In the green-room.
whei, Dick, having discovered his
blunder, came rushing after her. He
protested most eagerly, and 70 carn-
cstly did he urge his desire to rectify
his mistake, that little Darling gener-
ously allowed him to substitute four
bits for that $40 piece. Dick felt
better, but 1t was n mighty rough state
of suspense and expense to be in for n
minute or so.
