MYSTERIES OF THEATRE MANAGEMENT

SHARP WORDS ABOUT RAsCALLY MANAGERs-THE
coMBIN1TIaS SYSTEM DOOMED.
1.-THE signs of the times all point toward the
decline and fall OF the combination system" said Mr.

The following spirited dialogue is said
to have taken place yesterday between an
elderly limb Of the law, who is a mice
old man. and yet one Of the ''boys," aud
a young lawyer in his office learned in
s~anscrit knowledge acquired as Jack
Perry got his in the sand class, in which
literature was cultivated by rhetorical
practice on the sand with the big toe nail
for pen and pencil. This young Black
stone is politically an eunuch, hence strad-
dies a fence without difficulty. But this
is the dialogue between the ''nice old
man" and the budding jurist of the sand
(sanscrit) class--"Defentia:"
N. O. M.--"What constitutes burglary"

N. o. M.--"Then if a man enters this
Office and takes a two-bit piece out of your
vest, would that be burglary"
"D."-"Oh, yes, cause that would break

mice old man" I'd break you in two, for
you are altogether impertinent, irrelevant

Why not two-cent postage? Forty years
ago it cost six cents to send a letter from
New York to Brooklyn; ten cents to send
it to Newbureh; twelve and q half to Cat
skill; eighteen and three-fourths to Sara
toga; twenty-five to Cincinnati. A bold
step taken by Congress in 1851, declared
that a single letter should be carried any
where in the country within 5000 miles
FOR three cents. There had been one in
termediate step half a dozen years before,
reducing postage to five cents for a dis
lance Of 800 miles or less, and ten cents
above that distance. The cry for two-cent
postage is now universal, and Congress has
listened to it; but the change from three
cents to two is not 80 great as former
changes, and within five years from this
time there will probably be a general de-
mand for one-cent postage.
