ACTING IN DEAD EARN EST. The little
old theatre in Albany N. Y, has been
made the scene of many curious theatri-
cal stories. On oreo,c lsion Edwin Fol.
rest, then young man, and more famous
for his muscle than his genius, gave II
tremendous display of really powerful
acting, He was supposed to repre- sent
Roman warrior, and be attacked by six
minions of detested tyrant. At the re.
hearsal, Mr.. Forrest found u great deal Of
fault with the supes who condesccnded
to play the minions. They were too
tame, They didn't lay hold of him.
They wouldn't go in rs if it were q real
fight. Mr.. Forrest stormed and threat.
ened; the supes sulked and consulted,
At length the captain ofthc supes inquir.
cd in bis local slang
Yer want this to be a bully fight, ehi'
~ do," replied Mr. Forrest.
"All right" replied the captain, and
the rehearsal quietly proceeded.
In the evening the little theatre was
crowded, and Mr. Forrest was enthusi.
astically received. When the fighting
occurred the great tragedian took the
centre Of the stage, and the six mnions
entered rapidly and deployed in skir.
mishing order At the cue "Seize him ~
one minion assumed pugilistic attitude,
and struck blow straight from the
shoulder upon the nose of the Roman
hero; another raised him about six inches
from the stage by II well directed kick,
and the Others made ready to rush in for
n decisive tussel. For a moment Mr..
Forrest stood astounded, his broad chest
heaying with rage, his great eyes like
flashing fire, his sturdy legs planted like
columns upon the stage. Then came a
few moments of powerful acting, ut the
end OF which, one supe was seen sticking
headtoremost in the bass drum in the
orchestra, four were having their wounds
dressed in the grcenroom, and one, find.
ing himself in the flies, rushed out upon
the roof of the theatre and shouted
Fire" mt the top of his voice; while
Mr. Forrest, called before the curtain, bow.
ed his thanks pantingly to the audience,
who looked upon the whole affair as part
of the piece, and had never seen Forrest
act so splendidlN'

EVILS OF EARLY RISING. The attcn-
ton of medical men in this great Re.
public is called to the injunctions and
absolutely hateful habit much in vogue
in the rural districts and among early
risers in the city, Of getting up in the
night to cat This nocturnal meal is
family disguised under the name of
breakfast, and there is no doubt that it
has much to do with creating, spreading
and sustaining the national disease Il VS.
pcpsa. The custom is sometimes Wis.
tied by severe judgments, but nothing
seems able to deter its votaries from con.
tinung its practice. We once took
summer boarding ith man who used
to eat in the nj mt and reused up all
the neighbor lool to share the nocturnal
meal. One night he stirred us all up at
4 (; 30 o'clock to eat We rose and ate.
That very day his best COW inundated
herself ON wire fence, one Of his horses
bit himself with n Wttlesnakc, u reaping
machine ate up his best farm hand, dis
tant relative sent his youngest boy
drum, his wife took to writing poetry,
and one of his most popular, tainted
and handsomest boardcrs fitted, leaving
an unpaid summers board bill to remem-
bcr him by. The latter circumstance is
indeIibly impressed upon our memory,
and VIC often think Of it in connection
with the somewhat striking coincidence
that we have never been in that county
since.-Buriiagton Hackeye.
