Probably no branch OF business

of nature as that of the theatrical
profession, and short anecdote re-
lated to use day or two since bya
friend VINO is connected with the o,

relish.
About year ago, n troupe was
started from Boston, to make n short
season through tho principal towns
in the East. In the company was
the leader of tho orchestra (Jako
'raunerblum) n family OF fine musi-
cal abilities, of decidedly Tcutonic
extraction, WHO liked his beer and
cheese, but hal mortal horror of
the yankee dish. pork anl beans.
Among the places they visited was
the famous "bricl nnl herring town
Of Taunton, where the fdyorito dish
~ to be found on Sunliy. Tho
boys Of the troupe, aware OF Jakes
peculiar aversion, resolved to- have u
little fun NJ his expense, AMI accord
ingly "putup 4 job on him. Tho
landlord was lct into the secret, tho
waiter feed. aud The fun commenced
at the breakfast tih'c, whore ho was
politely asked by the waiter:

"Very we'll. sail tho waiter, "but

aud wait ho dill for about fifteen
minutes, when, his temper getting
the best Of him, he left the tablo to

for poor Jake. the Sunday law was
in force, AMI nothing was to be had
50 he had tp wait till noon tp satisfy
his appetite, which wls never poor.
y eli the dinner bell sounded and up
went our hero, who as before, was
met by our faithful waiter, who
again approached him, aud smiling,
said;
"Wcll, Mr.. T., viii You have a few
beans to commence with p
This was too much, aud the ans

Prompt to his cue, tho waiter
again went for him but, before ho
