Mrs. Siddens and Her Pot of Porter.

On one excessively hot evening, when play
ing at Leeds, Mrs. Siddons, while behind the
scenes, exhausted by thirst, desired to have
some porter. Her dresser dispatched boy
in great haste "to bring some beer for Mrs.
Siddons," at the same time charging him to
be quick, as she was about to 20 on the stage.
In the meantime the play, Of course, proceed
ed. The boy, on his return, looked in vain
Tor Mrs. Siddons. She had gone on with her
part, and the scene shiiter, to whom he APP
piled, pointed to where she was treadine the
board in death-hke solemnity as Lady Mac
Beth in the sleep-walking scene. To the sur
prise and horror OF all the performers, the boy
with the frothing pot in his hand, promptly
walked up to her and offered it, She attempt
ed to wave him away, in her grand manner,
without effect, but the absurd.ty had now
caught the general eye. The people behind
the scenes, by dint of beckoning, stamping
and calling in half-audible whispers, at length
succeeded in getting him away, spilling, how
ever, part OF the beer in his exit. But the au.
dience were in roars of laughter, which moth.
ing could quell for some minutes.

THE United States Supreme court has de-
clared unconstitutional those sections Of the
civil rights act Of 1875 which were enacted in
the interest Of the coored man under the
18th and r4th amendments. The court held
that there is no violation Of the equal rights Of
the negro in denial Of the same privileges
at inns, theatres, railroads, ETC., as are ex-
tended to whites. The law does not propose
to assist the negro in obtaining his rights, but
to prevent his being interlered with. We
have not read the whole text Of the opinion,
but presume the idea to be that the negro
may have his own inns, railroads, theatres,
etc. Il probably settles lhe question.
