it has awakened a desire on the part of

seems that from the following letter it was

The San refused to send the paper
without the money, as the applicant was
receiving $4,000 of a salary annually.
Then, in addition to this immense salary,
he received his house rent free, his coal
free; his flower and kitchen garden cost
him nothing; and, therefore, the Sun con-
cludes that he ought to pay for the paper,
and declines sending it for nothing. The
western provincial press generally will
now wonder what the occupant Of the
" bite House could see in that naughty
New ork newspaper to attract his atten.
ton; that its circulation is dwindliag:
that it has no influence, and is of no &C

THEATRICAL LIFE.

Hard Times In the HistFI0nic RANKS
..ActOrs' Salaries. ana their
Aliases,
The recent Brooklyn horror, says
a New York correspondent, has
called attention to the general pow
erty of the theatrical profession.
While a few stars may draw enor-
nous fees, stock actors are allowed
only q pittance. This arises from
the over-crowded condition of this
profession and from the general de-
preston which has so reduced the
public patronage. Talented stock
actors are glad to find engagements
at forty dollars and even thirty dol
lars per week, out Of which must
come the expense of theatrical cos
tune. Many of this class are mar
ried, and how they contrive to meet
the expenses of life is certainly sur
prising. Some of the less import
ant performers draw but fifteen
dollars per week, and others are
raid even less. Chorus singers can
be- hired at fifty cents a night; that
is, for easy parts which require no
day attendance for rehearsal
"Supes" are abundant at nine dol
lars per week. Ballet dancers can
be had in great numbers at five
dollars to eight dollars per week.
Upon the whole, the profession
is marked by severe poverty, which
is III striking contrast with the glare
and glitter\ of theatrical display.
Another feature brought out by
the same catastrophe is the fact
that nearly all the leading perform
ers are known by fictitious names.
Almost every man and woman who
goes on the stage assumes theatri-
cal title, Kate Claxton aud Harry
Murdoch are dramatic fictions.
When Dan Bryant died it was
found that the great master of ne
gro melodies was really somebody
else, and even Barney Williams was
found to be 'Flaherty" when death
closed his career. The only expla-
nation Of this fashion is found in
the desire Of many young histrion-
lists to avoid the pursuit Of families
and friends. In the case of ac-
tresses, any one of the latter, by
assuming fictitious name, escapes
the necessity of changing it in case
Of marriage. In this way the Gus
tom bas become permanent, and
the theatpical anomaly are only
exposed by misfortune or death.

murder, the widow proceeded to the
house Of neighbor, and showing
her hands, red with the blood of her
victim, exclaimed, 81 have killed
Francoise; the demon will not
trouble her any more; you will find
her body in the loft" She then went
to the police station and made the
same statement. Jordan is forty
nine years Of age, and of a super
stitious turn of mind. She denied
that she had premeditated the
crime. She said she believed in
ghosts and spirits, and had killed
her sister-in law to evoke the de-
mon. The medical testimony prov
ed that the prisoners mind had been
upset by reading books on witch
craft, and that she was not respon-
sible for her acts. The jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty,
and the prisoner was acquitted.

thrown wood at him he never
would have come back that way.
That is where we have always
blamed Manchester. But when
Manchester went to the Centennial
the dog got even. The dog and a
skunk that lived under the barn
broke up the hen business there.
We might meet him on the side
walk, and he never seemed to know
us. If we spoke to him he would
wag a foot or eighteen inches of the
lower end of his tail, look away
beyond, and seemed 10 be trying
to think if he hadn't met us in
another world, ages ago. The
other day he came home howling,
walking oD two legs. Some one
had put a charge of shot in him,
and we knew Manchester had got
back, though there was nothing
about it in the papers. He seemed
to be as full of shot as-well. he
was reasonably full, and every time
he went to sit down he howled wo-
fully. He was a dog of sedentary
habits, and when his utensil for
sitting down was not as well as
could be expected, his capacity for
enjoyment was limited, and he
would stand and lean against a
barrel and discourse in a foreign
tongue until nobody could sleep in
the entire neighborhood. In his
helpless condition the hens used to
show fight, and we saw it was hu-
initiating to him, so we prepared to
lead him like a lamb to the slaugh-
ter. We took him to the police
office to get the dollar we paid for
the license and to have him shot.
