From the Footlights to the Courts.

From the Footlights to the Courts.
Those interesting people who earn their
living behind the footlights carry the
glamour of their calling into their private
quarrels- and they are always quarrelling.
Sometimes it is mere professional rivalry,
but frequently it touches on the res pec,.nia.
Now, if two bankers, two bootmakers or
dressmaker and milliner have difficulty
about contracts or other business arrange
ments. they may go to court and be hanged
for all the public cares; but let an operatic
manager go bankrupt to his cage Of piping
bullfnches, hooting owls and singing ca
naries his tenors. his BASES and his So
pranos-and the whole town is agog. Every
body wants to know what the bullfnch
thinks Of it; the owl is photographed
perched on mug OF beer, and his dismal
ito WHO'D" faithfully reported; the canaries
are interviewed, and the sly way they peck
ut each other while futtering their little
feathers at the poor depleted manager de-
lights society. Then when they go to court

solemn the great basso looked; how tn
tenor, when he took the oath, invested that
stale formality with the dignity and grace
Of Manrico about to die; how the ladies
shed perfume and light about them.
causing the venerable judge to blink and
smila and sniff the air. OF course the story
comes down to dollars and cents ut last. 1t
is as prosaic as butchers bill, and ends in
some OF the many sad ways that the law pro-
vides for extracting juice from squeezed
lemons. Yet it has pleased the public, who
are not sorry when some real agony is thrown
in, and the poor singing birds find their
solitary satisfaction in having kept their
little fuss and feathers under the public
eve. What does oil this interest mean
The stage is the toy of the century. When
the little figures thereon are moving to and
fro, singing or acting, dancing or tumbling,
we watch them for the pleasure they give
us. But they are toys, and the toy is the
plaything of the child. To the players So
ciety is childlike. When the machinery
goes wrong the child wants to look at the
hidden wires, to explore the sawdust of the
doll and see what squeaks.. The living
marionettes who move on the calcium-lit
toy world of the stage awaken similar de-
sires in the average human being Do they
talk like other people? Do they have real
heartacho and neuralgia? Do they really
want money to pay board bills? We all
know that they do, but seem never to tire
of making believe that we don't. Humanity
is always ahunt for mysteries, and the oft
unveiled mystery of the theatre is far from
threadbare yet.

'prejudiced by the fact that he caught the
trout himself and bought the shad in the
market. Epicures have treasured and prop
agated contrary opinion, mostly
based on erroneous notions, on dis
tinctions between the game and con-
sequently solitary character Of the one and
the gregarious. plebeian nature OF the
other. So far as game is measured at the
end of line let them try the shad. He also
will take fly, and if tried away from the
murderous nets he will show what hero
he is. In fact, in the fame OF these fishes
we see the errors of history repeated. In
the chronicles there are the names Of few
hundred fellows repeated to all posterity
because their prowess was made apparent
in the small wars where everybody's name
was known. But in the tramping battalions
OF Gettysburg and Waterloo there went down
enough heroes to swamp al the histories,
if their names were known. One gill net
kills more game in a piscatorial sense than
all the anglers will kill in all the trout
brooks in this capricious April.

But from such dry scraps as these must the
student construct their history. How dif-
ferent will it be when the Thirty Years to
which we refer shall be amply and juicily
written. But we are afraid it will be very
difficult for future ages to comprehend the
newest kind of punch that has been added.
In the early periods will be found the Wills
key punch. the rum punch. the brandy
punch the milk punch, and anterior TO
these, coming down from prehistoric and
heroic ages, that celestial liquor punch
proper-punch without qualifications or
adjectives. Historians will differ over the in
corporations of these names; but the sound
thinker, the resolute and upright writer
'Jast.m ct teadcen prop0sM Uiran' will see
the truth and hold it against all corners.
He will see by the etymologies that punch
is the original liquor that the Aryan ances-
tors brought with them from the land OF
the Subscribers. and that the other so-called
punches are only parvenues, more or less
excellent in their way, that have sought
to gain honor by the unjustifable use
of noble name. But what in the
name of all refreshing fluids will
this historian make out of the bell
punch? He will infer from the gem
eric name that it pretends to be- liquor OF
the class of bogus punches /; and he will try
to find from the analogies of our language
what the word ''bell" signifies as thus
prepared. SO, through the range OF bell
wether, bell rope and bell man. he will hunt
vainly for the secret; and, in fact, the fur
Their he goes the worse he will be of. We
doubt if any of the puzzles in the Egyptian
hieroglyphics will be equal to this and we
rejoice that a noble literature will arise and
professorships be founded in colleges de-
voted solely to the elucidatiop Of this great
mystery.

The Bell Punch ana other Punches.

In the future ages, when the experiences
of Thirty Years ut the American Bar" shall
be set down by some Benton Of the bar
room some veteran concoctor of the soduc-
tive siulep" the vague and unsatisfactory
..smash' and the convincing cocktail" :
there will be found n rich and character
istic accumulation of material for the eluci-
dation of the history Of thirsty people.
All that Schliemann found at buried Troy
or Cesnola at Cyprus were the cups and
bottles of extinct peoples but the cups
were oil in a state Of smithereen and the
bottles were with the greatest uniformity
empty. No doubt the unanimity of the
hind them no bottles but such rs were empty
is valuable evidence of their honesty and
thoroughncss as drinkers. If we compare
this with q we'll known fact found in the
bibulous history of some Northern peoples
it is altogether to the credit OF the South.
In the cold Northern nations they were
compelled to make the cups of such n form
that man could not put them down till
they were empty, and that was the only
way they could be sure that fellow would
swig his tipplc honestly. None Of that at
Troy. They were sure Of fellow without
such devices. Another honorable fact is
the proportion that their drinking utensils
is found to bear to the whole volume OF
the hous ehold stuff they left. Thus the
excavator finds ten bottles and jack
knife; eighteen more bottles and a tooth
pick, and then side by side handsaw
and two hundred double handled cups.

Trout and Shnd.

About this time the winter weary stomach
comes upon the two dietetic glories.-that
fine exclusive aristocrat Of the ice cold
streams the dainty delicate trout, and that
swarming democrat of the great rivers and
the ocean stream, the ample, succulent and
luscious shad. Fortunately things are
planned for us as to these treasures better
than We might have planned them our
selves for the shad, SO plentiful, and who
becomes so cheap ere the season is over, is
infinitely the finest fish in the mouth of
any Judge with good palate who is not

been abandoned in the same quiet way, and
the republican party would have made no
remonstrance. But Mr.. Hayes was indis-
Greet enough to proclaim formal renuncia-
ton of the Southern policy Of his party,
thereby arousing needless spirit OF hos
tility. Had he done the same things which
General Grant would have done if he had
remained in office. and made no fuss about
it as the Inauguration of q new policy, it
would have been accepted from him with as
little complaint or repugnance as from
General Grant. President Hayes did a
right thing in on ostentatious and provoking
way and hence the needless quarrel be-
tween him and his party.
Mr.. Hayes other hobby, reform OF the
civil service, has also been mounted by him
with his face toward the crupper. Had he
been man of more political experience he
would have sought to accomplish this re-
form with the cooperation of his party in
Congress and not against its opposition.
Had he first taken pains to gain the conf
dence Of his own party there were album
dant reasons why it would have aided
him. With SO strong prospect of the demo-
cratic party coming into power the repub-
licans in Congress should have been willing
to give fxity Of tenure to faithful officers by
the passage Of law which would pre-
vent democratic President from max
ing wholesale removals of republican
civil servants. Instead of thus enlisting
party feeling in favor Of vital reform the
President pursued course which has made
this reform subject Of derisive jeering
with his own party in Congress- BY limit
ing his efforts to his own personal action he
leaves the door open for his successor to
remove and appoint whom he pleases after
the old party methods. A democratic
President, with democratic Senate to sup
port him, will be free TO make clean sweep
Of all the republicans he may find in Office.
President Hayes aims have been right, but
his methods are self-defeating. We suspect
that it is too late for these mistakes to be
rectified either by cooperation with the
President or by taking q position of de-
clared hostility to him.
