Stage-Seruck Young Women.
New York Mirror,

There are but two ways to cure a
stage-struck young women OF her folly"
SAID q veteran manager to the Wlltel
one day in the last week.
We were standing within the entrance
to the theatre, looking out upon Broad
way. In his hand this manager held a
delicately perfumed note from a young
lady, asking for an opportunity to debut
as Virginia.
they ?"
Let her make her debut, or-fall in
love. Either calamity will settle the
business. Why, | once had young
lady who was all ready to make her
debut as Parthenia in 1ngomar. Her
dresses were all made she had been
coached, and rehearscd and billed, and
putfed in the papers. But fortunately,
she never appeared. Two days before
the night upon which she was to make a
fool of herself, she suddenly disappear
ed. She ran away, lead-over heels in
love, with the soon Of d Well-knOwn
stock broker. You see this note Well,
this is from the daughter of Il man whose
name, is as familiar to the public as
mine. She has the fever-has it bad
poor girl 2
w Ill Snc uoDuC
Yes, if she pays for it, and to do that
will take a large slice ont of her
allowance of pin money. Its a costly
luxury nowadays for a young woman to
put in first appearance, and, as a rule,
it is a permanent investment which,
When it is too late, no one more bitterly
regrets than the victim of this strange
monomania. Out of sixty three debuts
which l have had under my manage
ment, covering period of twenty years,
only two resulted in an addition to the
professional ranks"
And these two -
" Well, one OF them is, after five
years work and study, playing utility
parts in q Western theatre, at a salary
of ten or fifteen dollars a week. Her
debut cost her $4,000 The other is now
in the ballet at the present time at
and is the sole support of the
mother whose money was spent in the
vain effort to give this daughter lead
ing position upon the stage. The re-
mainder of the sixty -three-heayen
only knows where they are. They were
all failures
The experience Of this manager is, it
may De Eeapily supposed, merely re-
petition OF the experience ct all the rest.
Our greatest actresses began at the foot
Of the ladder, and: a:have slowly and la
boriously worked their way up. For
these there was no debut in Juliet,

A DisPeD equitable Debate.
n. O. Times. May 10th.

N. O. Times, May 12th
Saturdays debate by the Conven ton,
sitting as q committee OF the whole,
will not tend to raise the credit of the
State or confer special honor upon those
who signilized themselves as champions
of the tax-resister. 1t is, indeed, in
cOmprehensible to lis that so solemn and
responsible body as the Constitutional
| Convention of great State could listen
patiently to such mischievous clap-trap
| as was uttered on the occasion referred
| to. Mr.. Foreman's proposition to give
receipt in full to all delinquents and
resisters up to January 1st, 1871, togetll-
er with the different speeches made i'll
favor of that and similar notons, dis
close an amount OF cheap demagoguery
and wild cat craftsmanship which
ought to make and, we have Ito doubt
will make decent citizans blush. Apart
from the inherent vice of snch practices
as the periodical release Of dclinquents,
| the logical and inevitable effect OF which
must be anarchy, it happens to be
known that in this case Il very large
proportion Of the past due taxes, sought
| to be rcmitted by Mr.. Foreman, are due
by men fully able to pay them. 1t is
| further known that many OF these de-
| linQuents have deliberately avoided
! q
| Iation, feeling that, sooner or later some
| indu gence W0ul be granted, and that
then they could settle their Indebtedness
at 3d. 90 or even 10 per cent. as the case
might be- In plain words there is il set
| of individuals and corporations here who
simply fatten on the honest tax payers,
and these Mr.. Foreman proposes to ell
courage and assist.
It is cold -bloodcd speculation, this
thing of holding back Oh taxes and wait
ing for an opportunity to pay ut a dis
count-as much as buying up the paper
of persons who, from one cause or an
other, cannot wait for the Treasury.
Under the hypocritical aitcctation of
poverty, or pleading the illegalty OF the
government, or any other dlslngenuOus
prctext that happened to present. itself,
| these professional dellnQucDts keep i'll
their pockets the money which they
Justly owe the State and are perfectly
able to pay, while honest citizens are
making sacrifices to support the goveln-
ment-a and this with the settled pur-
pose of obtaining from some future
Legislature or City Council just such
IL concession as Mr.. Foreman on Satur-
day suggested. We trust, however,
that although the Convention listened
without manifest disgust or diSapproba-
ton to the proposition to encourage and
reward spectators in delinquency, it
will not lend itself to a job 50 transpa-
rent and so disrcputablc. Even if there
be no proper regard for the name and
honor Of the State, there ought to be
intelligence enough to see that such ac-
tion as this will soon give us whole
community of taX-rrsisterS. There is Il
point at which even honestand patriotic
men will refuse to pay in order that

IA MAN AsfrBTATEs HIS Own LEG.-
A short time ago a young Chippewa
hunter was shooting squirrels In the
woods that border Lake Huron, near
Penetangrlishene, when, by some chance.
a large blighted pine fell upon him,
knocking him down and crushing his
leg, which was fractured in two places.
He could not rise-he could not remove
the tree which was lying across his
broken leg. He was far from the proba-
bility of passing aid, and to lie there and
starve to death in agony seemed all that
was left to him. Inshis dilemma, with
all the fortitade and promptitude of ro-
nance, he took out his knife, cut off his
own leg, bound it up with his sash,
dragged himself along the ground to his
canoe and padded himself home to his
Wigwam on a distant island. There the
cure Of Ills wound was completed and
the man is still alive. Strange ls this
may seem, it is sfrieiy true,

Senator COnkling's Speech.

We Law before our readers this morning
the speech of Senator Conkling, delivered
in Brooklyn at the opening of the cam
paign i'm New York. 1t is clear. forci'
BILE compact statement of the issues that
enter into the national election next year
1t will be valuable for every person to
peruse and preserve for reference who de-
sires to keep well informed in regard to
the questions most important in politics
Every republican should bear in mind
that the present is period of preparation
for the great struggle which is to come in
1880. The issues that will divide parties
in 1880 are as clearly defined now as they
will be next June or July, after the ma
tional conventions have been held. SEN
ator Conkling presents no facts in his
speech which have not already been seen
in some form by intelligent readers,
but he has so massed them and clearly set
them forth that any mind of ordinary in
telligence can easily comprehend and
grasp them, and will be thereby better
prepared to enter the national campaign
and less likely to forget the necessity of
improving the time now in getting ready
for the coming contest.
