CanecrniEg Theatre Tickets.

at Memphis the police had to be called
Oh 70 keep the peace at the sale of tickets
for the Bernhardt performance. 1t
seems that certain citizens had hired
negroes TO take their places in front OF
the store door where the tickets were to
be sold, and these agents appeared there
days before the sale, intending to give
up their places to their employers when
the sale commenced but ut six O'Clock
on the morning of that day citizen ap-
peared and stood first at the door. When
the employer Of the negro who had been
number one appeared he could not get his
place in the line. Two parties formed
on the question of his right, and the po-
lice had to be sent for, who found no
other way out of the difficulty than to
advise the adjournment OF the sale to
another day :: which was done.
The Memphis Appeal, in an article we
print elsewhere, says that the law Of the
cue does not permit a man in the line to
surrender his place to another or to leave
it for any purpose us soon as his place Is
vacant his right TO it is gone which is
very good sense. 1t is the habit of those,
however, who are employed to secure
seats, and who appear on the ground a
long time in advance Of the opening of
the sale Of tickets, to agree among them
selves that they shall retain their places.
though they are not always in them and
as there is honor among thieves, this oh.
legation is generally good between the
contracting parties, who likewise unite
to keep off outsiders.
The trouble about securing seats to
performances is a serious annoyance, and
there is no reason why it should exist.
If the managers desired they could
readily obviatc it; and q simple plan
would be to receive applications fol
tickets personally and by mail up to a
certain time, at which they would, pub.
licly and fairly, assign the choice of seats
by lot to the applicants. Managers, how.
ever, seem to be in partnership with the
ticket spectators who fleece the public
and when they are not, they do not seem
to consider it to their interest to enable
the public to secure tickets comfortably
and decently, being quite content that
they sell them.

MINOR TOPICS.

THIs years valentines convey every
phase of sentiment. from the merest friend
ship to the warmcst love. Valentine is a
saint of progress, or else breach of promise
suits have taught him discretion.
CONGRESSMAN WEAVER, of Iowa, has
written letter denying the report that
the Nationals in Congress are endeavor-
irg to organize a Peoples party" and
will soon hold a convention in Chicago for
the purpose.
AMONG the encouraging signs of the
times is the foundation of societies all
over the country, for the promotion Of
arboriculture. In the near future We are
going to need every tree that can be
raised.
THE Philadelphia Iaquirer notes as a
curious phase of street car etiquette that
of mechanics and labcring men ten out of
a dozen will given their seats to a woman
rather than to see her stand, while of mer-
chants and business men ten out of dozen
won't.
SENATOR HAML1S's tally sheet in the
joint convention of the two houses of
Congress to count the electoral vote, the
