An ACTRESSES Chalk.

The London correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Times tells the following story of Fanny
Ellsler: Her dressing-room was spacious, well
ventilated and we'll furnished save that the
furniture was uniformly powdered with chalk
dust. Chalk was everywhere, on chairs, floor,
and toilet table. The dancer cannot do with
out chalk-it is almost as indispensable as legs
The soles of her shoes have to be coated with
chalk to lend to the surface the roughness that
gives grip. Well, one night as the author of
the ''Diable Boiteaux" entered Fanny's loge,
he found her storming and painting in a pas
sionate fury most magnificent to behold.
My dear Burat," she cried (Burat was her
anager), 81 am in fearful rage! Just fam
cy! my pas seM is at hand and the corps de
ballet have stolen my chalkl'
"What, stolen it! Can it be possible?"
Possible? 1t is. have looked everywhere,
and questioned everyone-Nathalie, Fitz
James, Noblet, her sister-all deny knowing
anything about it. It's a conspiracy-that's
clear Burat, you'll come to the rescue, and
get me some chalk, will you not?"
"where am to go?"
Nonsense, set out and get it somewhere"
You've quarter Of an hour befor5 the rising
of the curtain. Go, please" and she pushed
him through the door.
1t was II p. M; the shops were shut. The
unfortunate vaudevillist was more embarrassed
to discover the desired chalk than he had ever
been to invent plot. Nevertheless, he did
not despair. In twelve minutes he came back,
his cheeks flushed, his voice thick, tremor in
his gait-but twenty pieces of chalk in his
pocket handkerchief.
"Bravo! bravo!' gleefnlly shouted Fanny
Ellsler. "How much do owe you?''
"The price of ten glasses of Co-cognac,' hic-
coughed Burat 81 had to patronize ten cafes

BARRIERS and Shaving.

| The idea that shaving is a duty, says the
London News-ceremonial, as among the
| Egyptian priests, or social merely, as among
| ourselves-is older than the invention of steel
| or even of bronze razors. Nothing is more
remarkable in savage life than the resolution
| of the braves who shave with shell or with a
broken piece of glass, left by European marin
| ers. A warrior will throw himself on the
| ground and while one friend holds his arms
and prevents him from struggling, another
will scrape his chin with the shell or the
broken bottle glass till he rises, bleeding but
beardless. Macaulay, it seems, must have
shaved almost as badly with the razor of mod
ern life. When he went to q barber, and,
after an easy shave, asked what he owed, the
| fellow replied: "Just what you generally
give the man who shaves you, sir. 81 gen.
orally give him two cuts on each cheek" said
| the historian of England. Shaving requires
a combination of qualities which rarely meet
in one amateur.
Prussian ambassador of the stingy Frederick
This ambassador according to Voltaire, cut
his throat with the only razor he possessed
The chin of that diplomatist must have been
unworthy alike Of the court to which he was
accredited and of that from which he came
The exquisite shaver who would face the
world with a smooth chin requires many ra-
zors, many strops many brushes, odd soaps, a
light steady hand, and, perhaps, certain
gaiety OF temper which prevents edged weap
ons from offering unholy temptations. Per-
haps the shaver is born, not made, like the
poet; certainly many men are born with an
inability to shave. Here comes the need for
the kindly race of BARRIERS, race dear to liter
ature. The energy of the British character,
our zeal for individual enterprise, makes us a
self-shaving race; the Latin peoples are eco
nomical. but they do not grudge paying for an
easy shave. Americans in this matter are
more continental than English in their taste.
Was it not in Marseilles that his friends intro
duced Mark Twain to be shaved by barber
worthy Of the bottle glass or sea she'll stage of
his profession? They pretended MAT his per-
formances were equal to those of the barber on
board the ship that brought them from
America.
Englishmen as rule shave themselves
when they do not wear boards. Razors are
like Scotch sheep dogs; no one would keep
bad one or sell or give away good ono. No
razor should be condemned till it has been
"stropped" well and carefully. Some say that
soldiers old buff belts make the best strops.
The Scotch peasantry use peculiar hard
smooth fungus which grows in decaying elm
trees

Women'S Pockets.

"Oh DEAR" sighed young woman after ex-
ploring the festoons and furbelows of her new
Spring suit with desperate air for some time,
81 do wish dressmakers would put in pocket
Or wish was man. Bob, how many pock-
cts have you?" Brother Bob, after some sec
onds of profound arithmetical effort, answered
with deliberation tinged with sadness: "Well,
let us see three and four is seven, and four is
eleven, but mean to have another put in my
vest right away, and an inside one on both
sides of my coat would be handy. Father car
ries things sometimes in his hat, bat can gen.
orally get along with about a dozen pockets" !"
We submit that pockets are a privilege which
must be opened to the sex. The inconveni-
ences of feminine attire for business purposes
are sufficiently onerous without making it bar
rem of pockets Trimming is most all pockets
nowadays, except that they seem to be put ON
wrong side out. Even the lady's purse has to
be carried in the hand, or is exposed in q shall
low outside bag with mouth gaping to the pas
ser by. We can scarcely recall woman's
right of which the sex is in more dire need
than the right to pockets. 1t is a concession
which will not be gained perhaps till wrung
from dressmakers by campaign at the ballot
box. But it will have to come. When it was
once decided to teach women the alphabet, all
other exclusive immunties of manhood " ere
thrown open to her, and in due time pockets
right side out and receptacle of the current i'm
pedimenta of immortal souls shall be devised
both to improve and adorn the attire of woman
hood. What would man be without pockets?

THE Chicago Tribune says: "The spec
tacle is one of no ordinary interest. In its
ensemble it represents the political brain
and manhood of the country. A National
committee of forty-six men from the States
in embryo; 800 delegates chosen to represent
Republican principles and to nominate a
standard-bearer, and their 800 alternates be-
hind them; hundreds of the representatives
of the Argus-eyed and .Briarean-handed press
transcribing, transmitting, criticising and
commenting on the doings and sayings of
the delegates; 10000 spectators massed in
the vast amphitheatre, earnest, eager, solic-
itous, swept with waves of enthusiasm, in
tently watching every move made by the
rival factions; and $4,000 others outside be-
yond sight and hearing, who, unable to be
accommodated even in this vast building,
the largest ever used by National Conven-
ton, hang about the portals to catch bits of
intelligence and spread them from mouth to
mouth a great multitude of Witnesses
Republicans eager to have the right
man nominated, Democrats eager to
have the wrong man nominated, white men
and black men, Americans, Germans, Irish,
English, Scandinavians, all nationalities and
all creeds, great cosmopolitan mass of hu-
manity welded together in one homogeneous
whole by free republican institutions, di-
verse in social position, in religion, in edu-
cation, in language, in origin and in associ-
atioDs, but one in patriotic sympathies and
aspirations"

A Misapprehension Set Right.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Argus copies from the
Sunday Times the following notice:
No one should make noise of any kind in
the streets of Portland. 1t might disturb the
sensitive nerves Of one who, judging from his
remarks at the Merchants Exchange last
Wednesday, desires to annex the city to Ever
green Cemetery.
The above notice 1 think is not warranted by
the remarks made by the gentleman referred
to- He stated that Portland was increasing in
its business and referred to a number of our
principal merchants present at the meeting as
to the truth of this statement, all of whom re.
sponded that their business never was SO large
or prosperous as during the present year. He
took an encouraging view of the future of
Portland, its increasing growth and business.
He said that it was desirable place of resi-
dence because it is commercial city. in pref
erence to a merely manufacturing city, and his
reasons are not that there was too much noise;
"but because of the population which makes
up commercial city, embracing men of all
professions and business, merchants, bankers,
brokers, men of leisure, where large stocks of
merchandise are accumulated and distributed,
where goods are imported and exported, a har-
Dor open to all the world, where business rela-
tions exist not only with other parts of our own
country, but with foreign countries. A COM
mercial city is not quiet city, it necessarily
calls for large amount of manufacturing for
the various kinds of business which grow up
within itself and intimately connected with its
business relations.
commercial city is place of more intense
excitement in the battle of life, more noise,
more push than any ordinary manufacturing
place can be. The population of a mnnufac-
turing place is made up, aDd Irefer more par
ticularly to the manufactures of cotton and
wooi, as in Lowell, Lawrence Auburn, Bidde-
ford, &c, of female operatives. They have
but one pursuit and it is a most laudable one.
| wish more of such establishments were called
for. These mills are largely owned in Boston
and New York or other cities. The wealth
made does not remain in them; the population
is not fixed; the goods manufactured there are
shipped to the commercial cities, there to be
distributed. l well remember Salem as COM
mercial city with its business excitement and
push, its ships whitening every sea, its mer-
chants princes the Grays, the Thorndikes and
Others but it is now quiet city-its popula-
tion has changed. The cotton mill is taking
the place of its commerce.
