Edwin Booths Southern Tour.

The many who are interested in the
welfare of the Legitimate drama and the
prosperity of its foremost and most
practical representatives will read with
satisfaction that Mr.. Edwin Booths pro-
fessional tour through the South hoo
been attended with great success. This
tour was begun at Baltimore, on the Sd
of january, and was ended at Bowling
Green on the Sd of March. The total
number of performances given by Mr..
Booth was fifty-two. The characters
that he represented were Hamlet,
Othello, Richelieu, Richard the Second,
King Lear, Shylock, Cardinal Wolsey,
Iago and Petruchio. -.hitf
Mr.. Booth had not acted south of Bal
timore, ON the Atlantic coast, since 1859,
when he appeared in most of the cities
named. He was therefore positive
novelty, and the inhabitants of the
South, for many miles around the places
that he was announced to visit, mani
tested a lively desire to see him act, and
came in crowds to the cities in which he
appeared. The hotels were thonged.
Legislatures regulated the;r hours of
meeting with special view to attend
ance upon his performances. Social par
ties gave precedence to the theater.
Crowds of people gathered as early as
daylight, in many instances, to buy
tickets. There was a multitude at every
railroad station to welcome the great
actor; and often, at way-stations, the
doors of the cars iad TO be locked, In
order to keep out the rush of spectators
eager to see him. No actor. for many
years, has aroused such excitement or
received such welcome in the Southern
country and the newspapers as well as
private advices testify that Mr.. Booth
has thoroughly repaid this welcome
having acted with such power and fire as
in his earlier days he never surpassed.
Mr.. Booth is now in Nashville. There,
and at Cincinnati, he acts under the man
agement of Mr.. Macaulay. On the 9th
of April he will appear at McVicker's
Theater, Chicago. York Tribune.

Cheap Living.

The Hospital for the Incuraole, on
Blackwell's island, says the New York
World, contains at present 10 inmates
fifty -four males and fifty six females
many of them of advanced age, some
said to be even older than Mrs. Camp
bell, but with no evidence to support the
claims and very confused recollections.
The per capita cost of their maintenance
is seventeen cents weekly, and this ad-
mits of their having some little extras in
the way of nourishment, as eggs, milk,
etc. The rate of mortality is exceedingly
small. The almshouse proper, of which
the incurable hospital is an appendage,
contains at present /, 100 inmates, the
per capita cost of whose maintenance is
twelve and one half cents weekly, sum
which effectually cuts off all extras.
This covers expenses Of every kind
cost of clothing, salaries of officers and
two chaplains, etc.
