more than a painters admiration, on
the face Of his Scottish Mary.

eyes snapped fire as she gazed at the

THE PAST AND THE PRESENT.
by L. Z. KlDDER.

Stage splendors shine brighter an
brighter,
Each year they, re in beauty increased
But the "halcyon days of the drama"
Are over--fOr actors at least.
They miss all the numberless comforts
That with the new methods must
cease.
Too seldom engaged for "the season, y
Too Oft for the run Of the piece
What happy relief to the actor,
Ye gods how his pulses would thrill,
When weary with brain rocking study,
He'd find his name "out Of the bill"
A season of festive enjoyment,
With no greater labor to meet,
Than DRAWN" the salary weekly
They paid him far walking the street.
No tedious, annoying rehearsa.s,
No Notices hard to be borne;
No going to bed after midnight,
And studying parts until dawn;
But reveling iull in his freedom,
He'd calmly lead Tine by the nose,
Retiring whenever it pleased him,
And sleeping Till noon, if he chose.
He'd visit rival performance,
Well Knowing the Thespians there,
And "give 'em a guy on the quiet"
While snngiy esconced in Ills chair /;
Too Off, with professional brothers,
He'd pick cut the flaws of the play,
Half driving the manager frantic
And Grazing the "people who pay"
All! beautiful days that have faded
If now he's a few weeks to spare
He's ''iarmed" to a neighboriny city,
And works for his salary there.
Or else aids to form combinations"
Whose ''tour" little comfort foretells,
And passes his time in a whirlpool
OF theatres, cars and hot Is.
Yet managers must be kcen-sighted !;
And he is successful who brings
The rules of a mercantile business
10 bear OH theatrical things;
The spurs of Il close competition
Their strongly-mar!sed efforts attend,
And he is the shrewdest puryeyor

How THE AVERAGE WOMAN DOES
HER MARKETlNG.-She was an aver !,
age woman. She was in market on
Woodward avenue at half-past eleven
O'Clock, and there were Ave men in
there also. She wanted bit Of beef
much Of mutton, some dried beef
sliced very thin--in fact, she wanted
about twenty -nine cents worth Of
meat. Each man was silent for ten
minutes. Each one was impatient
| for ten minutes more. Each one
waited exactly twenty one minutes
for that woman to pick and select
and find fault, and then each one
stalked out to find some other shop.
Five business men lost los minutes,
or an hour and three-quarters, while
one woman, whose time wasn't worth
a cent an hour, bought twenty. nine
cents worth of meat. AS the men
went out the first said the country
was going to ruin. The second said
he'd rather eat snow than lose any
more time. The third said he'd like
to kill some one. The fourth said
the butcher was fool and a lunatic.
The fifth fell down as he went out,
and he said but never mind.-[Dc

THE SAFE BURGLARS TRIAL.

Some time ago when the Washington
ring was in its glory. and Boss y
Shepherd had full sway in the city, and
the Republicans full control of both
Houses of Congress, Columbus Alex
ander. respectable citizen and heavy
taxpayer Of Washington had the to-
merity to question the right of the ring
to plumber the city. For this unprs-
csdented conduct the ring entered into
. conspiracy to ruin Alexander. The
plot was to break open the safe in the
District Attorneys Office, and take the
papers which it contained to Alexan-
dsr's residences, 1t 4 certain hour in the
night, arouse him from his slumbsrs,
deposit the papers on the floor the
moment he opened the door, and then
call on the police who were to be con-
fvsnisntly at hand. by order of their
Chief, who was in the plot, to arrest
Alexander. Owing to misundsrstand-
ing as to the tims, the plot failed; and
the conspirators while sndeavoring to
awake Alexander. were themselves sr-
rested by the police. An examinations
Of the conspirators was had in one of
the ring Courts, but nothing serious to
them resulted from it. Last spring.
however, Congress investigated the
matter, and grand jury on the 18th Of

A HYPOcRIrICAL. HOWL.

Governor Bradley is reported to have
left the State on brief visit to Phila-
delphia, last Monday or Tuesday. The
report reached Carson next day and set
the Trbane to howiing dolsfnlly at the
rsmissnss of Democratic officials. A
week ago a Republican, State officer
went east onss private mission, and not
Q whine was heard from the Tribune
over his departure. During the last
session OF Congress. William Sharon
citizsn of Calitornia-but through the
influence of the bonanzas and crooked
railroad. Senator from Nsvads, was alb
sent from, his seat in the Senate four
fifths Of the session; Yet not word OF
ssnsurs did he receive from the Tri-
bups. II really seems as if the Repub-
iicsn party considered itself the owner
Of the United States, and that its mem
bers had an undisputsd right to do as
they pleased; and that any reference to
q
their dereiiction should be stigmatized
as a rebel YELL" Z The absence of
Governor Bradley from the State for a
short period, does not result in injury
to public or private interests. Lieu
tenant Governor Adams is here to at
tend to the duties Of his Office. eonss
quently there is no necessity for COM
plant. On the other hand the alb
sence of Sharon from tho Senate, when
bills affecting the great interest of the
State. az. for instance. the Silver Bill.
came up before that body, proved bim
deserving OF censure. The fact that
the Tribune uttered not word against
his course, but proves the hypocrisy of
iss howls in tho present instance.
