The genial comedian, Stuart Robson, re-
lstes the following Characteristic snscdote,
Zone day, few summers ago, had occa-
sion to enter street car In Philadelphia. II
contained but few passengers-a pair OF tired
women, their laps encountered with marke
baskets as big almost as themselves, q large
man with a small voice, who mIstook me for
o Methodist clergyman, on account of nv
white necktie, perhaps, which am fond Of
wearing occasionally, rs have an idea that
II lends an air OF becomingness to my blue
but expressive jaws, and who piled me with
questions relative TO the next meeting,
stranger, of the Methodist conference, a
young and pretty lady, the owner evidently
was skipping playfully about the car, and a
surly elderly looking gentleman, whose head
rested on stout etick. These were the only
passengers. The little girl looked so bright,
and lively, and pretty, as she held In her
hand q bunch Of loosely-arranged flowers, the
eyes Of every passenger followed her as she
gambolcd from ono end Of the car TO the
other, with the exception Of the surly looking
gentleman, whose head still rested on the
stout stick. All at once the little crea-
turc stopped, looked timidly toward
him, then, as II half afraid Of the
liberty she was taking. picked up
rosebud FROM the bunch, and trottng to his
side, placed 1t with some difficulty 10 a
button-hole Of the coat worn by the
surly,iookipg gentleman; whose head still
reused him, he raised his head, took In the
situation al q glance, bent his eyes on the
darling, who ran laughingly back 10 her
mother, and-never thanked her. To some
the mans conduct may have appeared heart
less and unieeling; butt watched him closely,

The admission Of spectators upon the stage,
which was prohibited In 1904, but not wholly
abolished I'LL many years later, was q serious
annoyance TO the audience before the curtain
and to the performers, who were often en-
barrassed by the movement and loud talk
around them, which they sometimes attempted
10 still by directing their acting particularly
toward the offenders. The oplnion OF the
privileged spectators not infrcquon,Iy differed
from that Of the rest OF the house, and a noisy
contest eusuod. At benefits the crowd upoI,
the stage was al times so great as to leave
space no bigger than q tablecloth for the &C.
tion OF the piece. The suggestion has been
made Chat the impossibility OF changing
scenery under such circumstances contributed
to tho adoption BY the French OF the law Of
unity OF place. Men about town gathered on
the stage, more delighted, said Cibber, ITO
be pretty objects themselves, than capable Of
any pleasure from the play" "They took
their daily stands where they might beat elbow
the actor, and come In for their share of the
auditors attention." As the dress Of the per-
formers frequently closely resembled that Of
the quality around them, the audience some
times mistook one for the other. On dtien.

. tipsy earl crossed the stage during q perz
Torrance TO speak to q friend. Manager
Rich, who was standing near, told his lord
ship that In future he would be refused ad.
mission behind the scenes. Tho earl slapped
the managers face. Both drew their swords,
and their friends took up the quarrel. After
lively fight the actors expelled their adver-
saries, who then rushed Into the front OF the
house, slashing sconces and hangipgs until
they were overpowered by the copstables.
When Garrick was playing Lear In Dublin O

waist, and stood so while she pillowed the old
kings head In her lap. The exclusion Of the
public from that city was brought about by
man-of.qualltys kissing Miss Bellamy's neck,
a. she crowded past him 10 take her place
where her part required. The Vicsroy, Lord
Chesterfield, applsudcd the spirit with which
the actress resented the indignity. A notice
dated New York, December, l78i, forbidding
spectators the stage, shows that the practice
rcfci red TO had been transplanted to this
country.-Gaidry for October.

CARL VooRr, many months since, murder
ed In Belgium. Count Bola de BlancO and
robbed him. The murderer fed to this coun-
try, where he was arrested. The German
Empire claimed his deliverey to that Govern
me1t under the extradition treaty with Prus.
Sia, upon the ground that he was German
subject. He has been held Imprisoned to
await decision whether he Is liable to extradl-
ton. Attorney Gen. Williams has decided "a
an elaborate opinion. that he Is not. The
proceeds OF this opinion are, that although q
German subject, Voght committed the crimes
Of which he stands accused In Belgium, and,
therefore, outside Of the territorial jurisdiction
Of the Geaman Empire. Belgium Oply-
wherethe crimes were committed would have
the right to demand the surrender Of the fugi-
tive, and between Belgium and the United
States no extradition treaty exists. Hence
VOught is entitled to his freedom. This Is
an important decision. It manifests the i'm
portance of extradition treaties. We have
right TO feel surprised that such treaties do not
subsist between all civilized nations. It Is
certainly an Objectionable anomaly, that a man
who has committed q monstrOus crime in any
part of Europe, breathe the air ofthis country
in security, and with effrontery. And we
trust the defective international ralations
which permit an anomaly will shortly be re-
formed.
