THE STAGE As A PROFESSION.

As all our readers interested In dramatic
possin know. ono or two women who have
been we'll known in the literary world pur-
pose during the next season to go upon the
stage. No doubt they are influenced In part
by the inward convection that their true Work
lies behind the fOOtlights, but we suspect the
most potent attraction rests with them. as Win
the most of us, in the work that pays the
best. There is a curious discrepancy In the
amount of remuneration given to actors and
that earned by any other brain-wOrkers.
star. provided he is of the first order OF
brightness, earns thousands per week for
representing one part in a play for which the
author, who conceived characters, plot, stu
alton. and wit, receives a small copyright.
Yet the playwright is the best paid OF literary
workers; the same matter furnished 10 a
leading magazine, even by the foremost OF
our literary men, would not yield one half the
pecuniary return.
IL would be useless to enter into detail the
fact remains, that there is not In America
single literary man who has acquired large
fortune by his pen-thOugh there have been
many who had wealth from private sources
while during the last year three foreign artists
have sent back to Europe or invested here
earnings amounting to hundreds OF thousands
of dollars more than they could have made
in Europe in half dozen seasons. Now we
do not suggest that artists of this class are
overpaid. If it is worth three or four dollars
to man to hear Margaret in Faust" or TO
see an exceptionally pretty Rosal'nd, then
Margaret and Rosalind have fairly earned
their reward; but if this kind of talent is thus
rated in the market, that of our historians
and poets is shamefully underpaid. Even the
lower orders of histriOnic ability command
higher prices than the first in literature; Haw-
thOrnes family. if they had depended on the
sale of his books for support, would have
starved; while the children of q circus clown
live in palace.
The explanation of all this lies in the fact
that our people want amusement aud recrea-
ton, and are willing to pay for them without
much regard to the relative talent, work,
or deserts of those who offer them. Such
being the case we are not surprised that
women who feel sure they can succeed as well
upon the stage 10 with the pen should choose
the profession where their merit will be most
fully recognized, and we wish them hearty
good speed, not only for their own sakes but
for the effect that their course will have in
destroying the prejudice still lingering in the
minds of many rational, well informed people
against actors and their lives. The adoption
by any pure, good woman, well known in the
community, of the stage as her profession,
does more to elevate the drama in the eyes
of the world than thousand books written
in its behalf.

BLOOD, blood, Iago!" Among commercial stats-
tics We have yet seen no estimate Of the annual
consumption of blood BY American musketoes
In the coming Summer-f 1t cOmes--will not
such an investigation be curiOusly profitable
First must be ascertained what amount Of
food a hearty, adult musketo absorbs at meal;
secondly. how many meals are taken during "a
hours; and lastly, how many musketOes exist by
feeding from our veins. This final computation
can readily be made by any person capable
of counting the sands of Long Branch or the leaves
of Central Park. But vast amount Of labor can
always be saved by hypothesis. Suppose then,
upon o July day, there are nine hundred and
ninety-nine nonillions Of musketOes on Staten
Island. Allow that one hundred millions feast
upon blood, in spite Of bars, boots, gloves and
penny royal. Give them three square" meals
day, allowing drop to square, and these self-con-
stituted reservoirs will carry of 100000 900 drops of
blood in "a hoursl 1000 drops to Q gill
would be good measure, and thus di-
yided, we have 100000 gills or 6.2oO
gallons, being somewhat more than IS puncheons Of
blood 1t may be fairly inferred that musketoes are
thorough Republicans from principle as well as
interest, going in for the greatest good to the
greatest number. In one respect they materially
differ from their victim, man, for they
never suck each others blood. In this they
are o noble example. They are, too, politically
sound on the question Of races for they will dine
mon a negro az voracousy as upon white man.
professionally they bring to mind their scientific
allies of the medical fraternity for they never Let
blood without running sp bill!

that the unpleasant Present is taking too much
