Ihe Chinese Theater.

In the north of China every town aud
every large village boasts of its perma-
nent theater, while the inhabitants of
other villages, too small to be so fortu-
nate, find little difficulty in extemporiz
ing theaters of mat and bamboo on any
chance arrival of an itinerant troop of
actors. AS long as the visit of these
wandering players last, the people Of
the district give themselves up to the en-
joyment of the holiday. Early each
morning the roads from all the country
round may be seen crowded with peo-
pie, the poorer ones on loot, snd, if in
the north of China, the Weather classes
on mules or in carts, all tending to the
one point of attraction; the women gay
in blue. red or green silks, and the men
in their best and brightest attire. five
follow this pleasure-seeking crowd, we
enter theater built in the form of
parallelogram, at one end of which is
plat form, generally, though not always,
as wide as the building. The platform
is divided breadthwise by wooden par
tition with two entrances, the front part
forming the stage, and the rear portion
serving the purposes of green room,
property room and abode of the troupe.
The body of the theater, answering to
our pit and stalls, is without seats or
partitions; while above and encircling
the whole are the boxes in which the
women and principal subscribers have
their places. If the district should be
a very poor one the probability is that
we find ourselves opposite covered
stage or an open piece of ground, in
! front of which the carts of the visitors,
| full of their occupants, are arranged in
a semi circle, thus forming the walls of
a truly Thespian theater. Within this
enclosure stands a densely packed, good
natured, eager crowd, whose power of
standing is only equaled by their po Her
of unllagging enjoyment. No money is
taken at the doors. The troupe is gem
orally hired either by a private indi-
vidual or by public subscription for a
certain number of days, and free admis-
sion is granted to every one. The per-
formances last from the early morning
until late in the evening, with short in
tervals between each four or five pieces.
The acting, generally speaking, is good,
tor the Chinese are naturally quick OF
observation, and are thus able, in every
day life, to catch easily the tone of those
| with whom they associate, and on the
stage TO assume the characters they wish
TO represent. The possession of these
faculties is the more important, as the
actors get very little guidance from the
play book, which almost entirely con
hde their directions to enter, exit
and aside" or as the Chinese literally
translated means, ascen -" descend,
and "turn the back and saY."-COaltent

" Mother, Have We Amy Meal This
Dav 49,

Mr.. Redpath, the New York Tribune
correspondent sent to Ireland to inquire
into the condition of the famine-stricke
people, has received many letters from
parish priests detailing a deplorable
state of affairs. The following letter
from Rev. John j. O'Keane, dated
Dramore West, is tale of suffering that
ought to move a heart of stone:
The area of this parish is over 10000
acres, the greater part of which is bog
and mountain, and the remaining por-
tiOn, with the exception of q couple of
hundred acres of grazing land, consists
of poor marshy lowlands. The average
size of the holdings is between six and
eight acres, and the population, includ-
ing all denominations, is about 600
families, nearly 1000 individuals. Over
400 families are dependent on the relief
committees, and 100 families in the
parish are almost entirely in want Of
clothing, and the children in a state of
semi-nudity.
On Sunday morning last, as l was
about going 10 church, a poor young
woman, prematurely aged by poverty,
addressed me. Being in hurry said !:
have no time to speak to you, Mrs.
Calpin; are you not on the relief listP"
-NOy 1dNlCly SlC duB anu We
are starving" Her appearance caused
me to stop. She had no shoes, and her
wretched clothing made her a picture
of misery. l asked her why her hus-
band had not come to speak to me. Her
reply was: He has not had coat
for the last two years, and this being
Sunday did not wish to trouble Thomas
Feeney for the loan of one, as he some
times lends one to him" "Have you
any other clothes beside what see on
youP" Father, / am ashamed" was
the reply; have not even astitch of
underclothing.n "How many children
have youp" -Four, father" "What
are their agesp" "The eldest, boy,
eight years girl, seven; another four,
and little one on the breast" "Have
they any clothesP" "No, sir; you
might remember when you were passing
last September you called into the
house. and | had to put the children
aside for their nakedness." Have you
any bedclothesP" GA couple of guano
bags" "How could you live for the
last week ?" I'm tell you, sir. ! went
to my brother, Martin MCGEE, of Far
relinfarrel, and he gave me couple OF
porringers of Indian meal each day,
from which l made Indian Cruel, oI
which l gave the husband the biggest
portion, as he was working in the
fields" Had you anything for the
children?" "Oh, father" she ex,
claimed, 1.-THE first question they put me
in the morning is, Mother, have we
any meal this day?' If I say l have
they are happy; ifnot, they are sad and
commence to cry" At these words she
showed great emotion, and could not
remain unmoved This is one of the
many cases might adduce in proof OF
the misery of my people.

A Weird Fancy.

II the dead, lying under the grasses,
Unseen linger near the bNreft,
Having knowledge and sense Of what passes
In the hearts and homes they have LEFT,
What tear-drops, than sOa-waters salter,
Must fall when they see all the strife
When they see how we fail, how We fAltor
How we miss in the duties Of Life.
If the great, who go out with their faces
Believed by a weeping worlds tears,
Stand near and see how their places
Are filled, while the multitude cheers
If the parent, whose back is bent double
With delving for riches and gold,
Lends an ear to the wrangle and trouble
About him, before he is cold;
II the wife, who left weeping and sorrow
Behind her, bends down from above,
And beholds the tears dried on the morrow,
And the eyes newly burning with love;
II the gracious and royal-souled mother,
From the silence and hush OF the tomb,
Can hear the harsh voice OF another,
slow-blighting the fruit Of her wombi
If the old hear their dearly forgotten
Rejoicing that burdens are gone;
If the young know how soon they're ior-
gotten,
While the mirth and the revel go on
What signing of sorrow and anguish
Must sound through the chambers OF space &,
What desolate spirits must languish
In that mystic and undescribed place
Then life were farce with it's burden,
And death but a terrible jest
But they cannot. The grave gives its guerdon
OF silence and beautiful rest

Professor Swing, the well-known

fering in Ireland to-day, and that the

self, is the tribute due from the fortu-
nate to the unfortunate in an era
which declares all men TO be brethren.
If the grasshoppers in Nebraska made
outside help necessary, If the yellow
fever in the South demanded an upris-
ing in Northern charity, so the famine
in Ireland proclaims that another time
has come for help to pass over from the
strong to the weak. The utter failure
of crops for several seasons has made it
impossible for parents to buy new cloth
ing for the children, and hence the
awful scene ofseveral little ones wrapped
in one ragged blanket, at once without
food and without covering. Before
these repeated failures of crops there
were thousands in this afflicted coun-
try who were just on the edge of star
vation. In good times these had not
enough food or clothing. and now that
the crops have failed for three conseeu-
tive seasons, it ought not to require
much more than rumor to convince
one that there must be great distress in
many parts OF the Irish country.

already exist. The walls are Of sods,
the roofs are covered with sods,

can be built, in size about 26xS6, for
an outlay in money of only $40, and
this has already been done in at least
one instance. A wall of sods, if prop.

They seem to imagine the ladies are "just

they force themselves into their company and If

far sighted, as they often hold them out the
length of the chain, and they are not short
chains either. Then they will look around
serenely upon the ladies, then with a flourish

There is very little excitement about politics
around here. Every one has made up his
mind how he will vote and that is all about it.
