hE BALLET GIRLs.
How the Gauze Clad Ranks OF the The.
alter are Filled.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
1t does appear little mysterious at first
that anywhere in the city so girls can be in
duced to go upon the stage in the costumes
of the ballet, but, like the majority of the
stage mysteries, it is really a common, bust
ness like matter. A reporter of this paper
had a conversation with Manager Benton
last evening, and, among other things, ex
tracted q little information on this point.
1t & not always easy to secure the required
number who have all the necessary qualifi-
cations for public appearance, and, in fact,
girls who have never been on are extremely
bashful about making their first appearance.
The majority of those who answer the call
are shop girls, girls who take work to their
homes, girls suddenly thrown out of employ
ment, and other poor girls who have no
other way Of honestly earning a dollar.
There are few, perhaps IL or 10,
who. have been IN the ballet
a number Of times before, and they have
come to look at it very much as matter of
business. They work regularly In the shops,
and when their services are required at the
Opera House, it consumes only few hours
in the evening, and the pay Is very liberal,
besides the novelty and excitement, which,
of course, are something OF an attraction in
themselves. Occasionally there is . girl
with a well rounded form and epirit OF ad-
venture, who goes into it merely for the fun
OF the thing, but they are rare. A
good character is always demanded by q
manager before he will engage a girl for the
ballet. but occasionally, Notwithstanding all
his vigilance, q black sheep will get into the
flock, though she is generally discovered be-
fore long and fred out with little ceremony.
| 1t is to be inferred that considerable judg-
ment has to be exercised in the acceptance
of those wbe aspire to the costume of tights
and gauze dress, but on this point the man
ager was singularly bashful and incom.
municative. IT is a lamentable fact, how
| ever that all ladies are not plump and SYM
F, metrical, 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 rehearsal, and nothing could in
duce him TO run the risk of allowing 'cen-
tennial fairy" to appear before the audience.
Such embarrassing predicaments seldom &C.
cur, though. as q girl is generally pretty well
satisfied that she will pass inspection before

ISpringfield Republican,
A great many columns have been written

PROFESSOR KNAPP, whoever he may be, says
that from the juxtaposition of certain
planets to our earth, fully one-half OF
the population of the world, animals and
vegetable life, will perish during 1880. He
says the desolation will commence by the
fishes of the sea dying. and pestilence and
famine occurring in southern ATTITUDES. II
is said that many fish are dying off the coast
of Florida and in other southern states.
This, with the famine in China and the re-
cent terrible yellow fever scourge in portions
of the south, are thought to be forerunners
of the fulfillment of the prediction.
