French Actresses.

The stranger who comes to Paris,
saws a writer in The NeUark Adyer-
ttSer, and does more than merely
see the ordinary sights, can not fail to
have been struck by the important part
that actresses and demi-moRddtneS-
often synonymous terms-play in the
life of the great city. They set the
fashions; they are received in the salons
of the hdUte finance, they are to be seen
everywhere the races, at the theatre,
always in the best places; many of them
live in very elegant style, and are APP
parcntly never in want of money. In
short, their influence is very great.
But how much of their elegance is
"white clephant?' With the exception
of Patti and Nilsson, both foreigners,
and Judic, who earns some 100000
francs years in France and in Prus-
STA, there are but few millionaires among
the actresses of Paris. Grizette is rich
through her marriage, and lives in COM
Portable opulcnce and is, moreover, an
excellent mother. But the others?
Some of these women will, perhaps,
manage their affairs better some day,
for they have plenty of talent and are
handsomely paid, and the approach of
age will doubtless remind them at length
that they cannot be etcrnally stars of
the first magnitude. First on the list Of
the improvidcnt and spendthriftS must
be Sarah Bernhardt, always head over
ears in debt, and Jeanne Granier, who
earns 90, 900 francs II year at the Rem
aiSSance and 10000 francs in her holt
day tours; Marie Helborn, who has had
millions and spent them. But the rest
are constantly sustaining an almost
helpless struggle against old debts.
You see them in the Bots in fine carria-
gcs, and dressed by the first milliners
and taiorS. But the bills are not paid.
Almost all the charming young ladies
of the Palais ROYAL, the Boues, the
Renaissance, the Gymnasc, the Naude-
vile. are in chronic state of indebt-
edncSS. After all, it must be remember
ed that the earnings Of most of these
ladies on the stage itself are modest and
that even in Paris the list of nabobs is
limited,

Stage Secrets.

The other day, says New York
correspondent, | met by chance an ac-
treSs, as she was entering store largely

so; and inside we encountered a we'll

as plump as Il partridge, but | happen
to know she is obliged to round out
some fiat spots on the inside of herlcgs.
She won't object to your witnessing the
operation. We folks OF the stage, you
must know, make no secret Of such
matters among ourselves. Every
proper article is employed purely as a
matter Of business
The buresquer had already selected
the materials and styles for her cos
tune, and all that remained was to be
measured for the padded tights, which

was intruding immodesty.
"Oh, bless you, no, the burlesquer
said; II show myself in tights to a
theatre full every night; why should

The business proceeded without any
ado The operator saw at a glance,
and was instructed To the same effect,
that the legs Mad sufficient natural bulk,
and that only II little artificial round

regular measurements, tailor fashion,

THE Cup that Cheers"

once Week,
In our pursuit OF knowledge concern
ING tea. we came across rare manu-
script in the British Museum, trans
cribed from paper of Thos. Povey,
Esq, Oct. 20, 1856 The paper is in
itself such quaint summary of the
virtues Of the precious herb pen
ned in the precise style of writ
ing which prevailed at the fore
going date, that We can not do better
than transcribe il for the benefit of our
readers in the original spelling;
THE QUALITIES AND OPERATIONS OF
THE HERB CALLED TEA, OR CHEZ.
1t has, according to the description
(being translated out of the China
language), these following virtues;
/. 1t purifyes the Bloud that which is
CROSSE and heavy.
2. 1t vanquiseth heavy Drcames.
g. 1t eascth the brain of heavy Damps
A. Easeth and cureth giddnesse and
Paines in the iiealc,
5. Prevents the Brop,lc.
6. Drieth moist humorS in the lIcadc.
Z. Consumes RawncSNo.
s. Opens Distractions.
0, Clearcs the Sight,
10. CleanScth and pWrifeth Adjust (Slc)
humours and hot liver
| II. Purheth defects Of the bladder and
Kidneys.
r. Vanquisheth superIluouS sleep.
10. Drives away ds,ines, makes one
nimble and valcnt
H. Encourages the heart and drives
away fearc.
Is. Drives away all paines of the Col
lick which proceed from wind.
l6. Strengthens the. inward parts and
prevents cQnSumptlonS.
II. Strenthens the memory,
IS. Sharpcns the will and quickens the
understanding.
10. Purgcth safely the gaul.
20. Strengthens the ySe of due beneyo-
lence.
We need add no comment on the
foregoing very complete epitome.
That the Chinese believed implicitly in
the virtues of the herb as summarized
above, we have evidence in the records
of the travels of two Arab merchants,
who visited China in the years A. d.
Sjl and S67 The document was dis
covered in the library of the Comte de
Seignaley, and translated and published
by NJ, Eusebe Rcnandot in Paris in
17lS. From this we learn that tea
under the name of Tcha, was universe
ly drunk, and was supposed to be a cure
for every disease. Marco Polo, the IA
nous medieval traveller, also distinctly
mentions the tea in his travels in the
East. That the Celestials still maintain
their belief unimpaired, we learn from
Mr.. Fortunes travels in China.
