ROAD AGENTS.

A proprietor Of the stage line between
the Black Hills and Cheyenne, says the
Detroit Free Press, has become tired of the
attention paid to bis coaches by road
agents. Recently $25,0oO was captured
by these gentlemen, and this was q Sc.
rious blow to the company. The mana
ger has come East, and has made arrange
ments to have burglar.proof coach built
that will take at least sixty hours of un-
remitting work to get inside of II. This
treasure coach will weigh one ton, and
the makers guarantee that If the robbers
get the treasure within the above time,
they (the makers) will make good the
amount taken. II the iron chariot is q
success, six more will be ordered. II Is
TO be hoped that all things will be in
keeping with this preambulaling strong
hold. The driver should be encased In
burglar proof armor that would with
stand the Establishments Of the robbers
for day or two. Then couple Of guards
clad like the knights OF old, ought TO ride
each side OF the coach. II this design
could be carried little further and the
horses covered with sixty hour plate, the
cortege would be complete. II would be
pathetic sight to see this ironcIsd pro-
cession slowly moving over the plains,
with dozen robbers hsmmering away al
the safe and couple at each horse and
man, vainly attempting to scrape sc-
quainiance with cold chsels, while the ST.
lent driver aud guards would move stead
lily Onward, knowing that within the re-
quisite sixty hours they would be safe in

HOLLINGSHEAD'S HAUL.

To THE EDITOR LONDON TndEs-
AS q number of small and irresponsible French
journalists-the camp followers Of the Coincide
Francaise-are very likely to publish exaggerated
estimates of the receipts Of the Gaiety
Theatre during the late French season it
may be well to anticipate such estimates by
giving the exact figures. The fortytwo performances
yielded sum of f19.so5 l4s Cd. The thirty-six
night representations produced an average of f470
for each representation. and the six matinees pro-
duced a similar average of f466. tho general
average for the forty-two representations being
f472. The largest "house" was x57l. when
.'Hernani" WAS played. and the smallest
f349, when ''Tartufe ana LA Joie Fat
Peur" played. The "Sphinx'-much abused
by the press-was played three times TO an average
of f532 each representation. II this is considered
sign OF the degradation of public taste, it may COM
fort many people to know that the performances
of '.L' Aware and the 'Femmes Savante, supported
in each case by "L'Etincelio," produced respect
lively f47l and f479, although they contained no
'sstar performer and sensational scene. 1t
is curious fact that "L'Ami Fritz'-the anti
Malthusian drama, so literally supplied with real
food real cherry tree. real pump with real water
and all the feshpos of the theatrical Egypt-should
have produced nearly much repre-
sentation it produced in one week at the Gaiety
Theatre 1871 the chief character in each hav
ing boon represented by the same actor. This is o
proof. il any is needed, that the prestige OF the
Conedie FRANCHISE troupe denseabie is worth
something after all. JOHN HOLIINGSHEAD.

Tho Passaic Water Company. which supplies the

Twenty-sixth street, this city. made his escape
from the prison house at the latter point last
night by cutting through bar across q
window overlooking the pier aud letting
himself down by the tow rope stolen
from the boat. Roundsman Murphy, of the Twenty
first precinct. heard the dipping Of In the
water. and, suspecting the presence OF river
thieves moved stcalthily forward to the edge
of the pier. where, peering through the rain.
he discovered the line hanging from the win
dow. Donohue succeeded in escaping. but tho
alarm given and inspection inado OF the
premises. Twenty-Five prisoners occupy the second
floor the building, beneath which there IL arch
the entrance of boats. III this upper apartment
Donohuc's bed was found unoccupied, and had it
not been for Roundsman Murphys clever detection
OF his escape the remaining twenty onc convicts
might easily have followed him into the shelter of
tho night and etfectuaily eluded pursuit.
