six shots were fired, and one young man
shot, the bullet entering near the short
ribs on the right side and lodged below
his shoulder. The young man is yot liv-
ing, but his chances are thought doubt

How The 4auzy Ranks of The
Theatre are Filled.

1t does appear a little mysterious at
first that anywhere in the city fif V
girls can be induced to go upon the
stage in the costumes of the ballet,
but like the majority of the stag mys-
~trries, 1t : really a common, business
like matter. A r porter Of this paper
had a conversation with Manager
Brnton last evening. and among o.her
things extract d a little information
on this point. 1t is not always easy ID
5 cure the L quired number who have
all the necessary qualifications for q
public appearance, and in fact girls
who have never beef on are extremely
bashful abont making their first ap-
pearance. The majority Of hose who
answer the call are shop girls, girls
who take work to Their homes, girls
suddenly thrown out of employment,
and other poor girls " DO have no other
way of honestly earning a dollar.
There are few, perhaps, twelve or tif-
teen who have been in the ballet a
number of times befor-, and they have
come to loo al it very much as a mat
ter of business. They work regularly
in the shops and when their services
are required at the opera house it con-
sumes only a few hours in the evening
and the pay is very liberal, besides
the novelty and excitement, which Of
course are something Of an attraction
to themselves. Occasionally there is
a glrl with a well rounded form aud a
spirit of adventure, who goes into it
merely for the fun of the thing. but
they are rare. A good character is al
ways demanded by a manufacture be-
fore he will engage a girl for the ballet
but occasionally, notwithstanding ali
his vigilance, a black sheep will get
into the flock, though she is generally
discovered before long and fired out
with little ceremony 1t is to be in
ferred that considerable judgment has
to be exercised in the acceptance of
those who aspire to the costume Of
tights and gauze dress, but on this
point the manager was singularly
Dashful and uncOmmunicative. 1t is
a lamentable fact, however, that all
ladies are not plump and symmetrical,
and for those lacking these charms
there IS no door to the ballet stage.
Even should they be engaged, the
keen eye Of the ballet master would
single them out at the first dress re.
hea sal, and nothing could induce him
to run the risk of allowing ''centen-
nial fairy to appear before the audi>
euce. Such embarrassing predica-
ments seldom occur. though, as a girl
is generally pretty well sati fled that
she will pass inspection before she Of

There Is no reason why many hundred
acres of Jute should not be sown in

next Spring.
No less than one hundred and ten
million pounds of Jute were consumed
In the United States in 1877. The pro-
ductlve power of Sou h Carolina will
soon become enormous, and we have
here in Charleston a factory that is
profitably making bagging from i'm

shall both grow the Jute and manu-
facture the fibre, a long stride will
have been made towards securing for
lower South Carolina a prosperity as
great as that which followed the
change from growing tobacco and in

small grain and hey, and with tea
added, will solve the low country pro-

Mrs. Surratt's InnOcence-An Old
Story n a New Shape.

Thirteen years have passed away
since the execution Of Mrs. Mary E..
Surra.t. one OF the conspirators in the
a sassination of President Abraham
Lincoln: Now the New York Star
publishes what it claims to be the in
dubi able evidence of her innocence,
which it declares was in the possession
of the then Secretary of War, Edwin
Nj. Stanton. at the time the unfortu-
nate woman was on trial for her life.
Just who the author Of this startling
revelation to the Star is. that journal
fails to state, further than that he
Lives in Washington. was connected
officially with the War Department.,
and was personally intimate with
Secretary Stanton at the time of the
tragedy, and the only person now
living who knows the whole inside
history Of the plot" The name of the
repository Of this information Of he
has a name) is withheld from the pub
lie, as the evidence was also withheld
at the time that Mrs. Surratt was on
trial for her life, evidence which, if
true, would have saved her fiom al
isnominious death.
More wonderful still, this new born
witness. the Star says had the confess
sion from Secretary S5anton's own lips
that Mrs. Surratt was deliberately
murdered.
