Perils of the Stage.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The only wonder over actresses and prima
donnas is that they are SO hardy and bear
exposure so we'll. In winter weather that
has turned half the usual audiences into
coughing, sneezing and otherwise suffering
persons, these ladies appear on the stage and
stand in all its draughts with barred throats,
shoulders and arms. The men of the COM
pany are well protected in the usual broad
cloth, and the audience may sit in overcoats
and shawls, while the fair singers and players
may get overheated or not by their efforts,
but still are dressed as for a summer night or
a ball room. 1t is optional to go to ball
or to stay at home, but the dramatic profess
sion has no choice. Yet there are very few,
comparatively speaking, Of these artists but
are able to undergo extraordinary. fatigue as
well as exposure. Madame Missions sore
throat in the West, and Miss Mather's pneu-
monia in Boston, are among the few instances
where exposure had the same results that
would had happened in private life. Other
wise, it is really remarkable what elastic con-
stitutions the vocal and dramatic women seem
to be gifted with, and how well they bear not
only the seasons changes, but the still more
severe exposure Of the stage.

PROGRESSIVE SOCIALISM.

Socialism has broken out in France and
monarchy and imperialism are postponed to
the evolution of more immediate effects in
the science of government. Everything
throughout France is in transition state. We
are indeed, everywhere, but passing from one
station to another in the march OF science. 1t
is but few years since, to an observant
mind, boiling kettle discovered the power
of steam. For countless ages, with water
falling habitually from the clouds, and water
boiling daily in kettles, there was yet no dis
covery of any mechanical power hidden in
water. 1t fed the thirsty earth, and filled the
streams, and turned the ponderous wheel for
erist, but mind failed to discover in any of its
uses the secret Of its power. But when dis
covery began how rapidly it advanced. From
that time labor saving machinery has caused
labor to feel as if cheated out of its wages,
and socialism is more the child of such parent
age than of any other. But when a
higher perfection shall have been attained
and the onward course of events discloses
more momentous interests, new solution
will be found for the labor problem, and il
will be seen that the whole is in the keeping
of wiser providence than our own. When
we stand on the sea-shore and watch the
water as it rolls up on the beach and again
instantly recedes,we cannot know whether the
tide chs or flows till time is afforded for max
ing the water line upon the sand. So ap-
pearances perplex US in respect to the tides oil
human events. The French people, now ap-
parently in such strong sympathy with social
ism, but await the development of tide,
watching what discords, if any, may interpose
to the harmonious progress of the Republic.
There are many cooperating causes that favor
good government, and socialism is one OF
these. Where, if ever, it oversteps the verge
of order and authority, or adopts violence as a
measure to its end, it must be summary
checked. But this, we take it, is not to be
apprehended; there are, at least, no presen,
symptoms to denote it. A firm and progress
sive government, patient people, and the
active energies of wider and wiser social
science, are the needs OF the hour.

DORSEY, THE WITNESS.

1t would not be a favorable symptom for the
defense in the Star route case that Dorsey
should really hesitate in placing himself on
the witness stand. The indiscretion OF dis
trusting a supple conscience with its own
keeping is settled matter in jurisprudence
Strain, tenacity, tension, endurance are not
questions. These are exigencies that pertain
to embryos that weaken under cross examina-
ton, and have none of the agility essential to
self-preservation in emergency. 1t might have
been a wiser and safer policy for Dorsey to
have rehearsed less knight errantry in the
newspapers and covered, rather than exposed,
the ability on which it is commonly believed
he relies at last to extricate him from danger.
That Dorsey has more legal acumen and
subtlety than all his counsel, and that he
knows it and relies more upon himself than
upon them in every extremity that can arise,
the whole country believes. He would be
safer if it were not believed, for against it the
Jury goes armed safer if he could have i'm
posed by decorous and retiring ways faith in
the possibility of innocence, although 1t
we're coupled with idiocy. 1t is sometimes
wise man who can make the world
take him for fool, for his advantages are
many fold those of the man of ordinary sagac-
ity. To have attained SO enviable status
Dorsey should have started early to elude
opinion, should have suppressed his published
letters, his bulletins upon the trial. should
have tied tenaciously to the gospel of pru-
dence at the first. But that here, after so
much to know, and such latitude in the dis
cretion of knowing it or letting it alone, in the
face of such opportunity to double up in lines
of IL abreast on the credulity of the jury, we
are not going to believe that Dorsey declines
to be sworn. 1t is rather Dorsey's way. He
prefers approaching the witness stand with
hesitating strides, however eager to reach it,
in order to leave or find the country under a
spell making it possible to be caught in the
subtle,ies and snares he will provide for the
public mind. This we take to be Dorsey, the

A COPY of the Eastern Express, formerly
known as the famous Leyant Herald, pub
lished in Constantinople, has reached the
LIGHT sanctum. 1t bears the three fold date
of February 9, 1883, according to the present
calendar; January zS, 1883, in the old style,
and Rebi-ul-Akhir I, 900, in the Mohammedan
style, and is priced at piastre, an equiva-
lent to the American 5 cent piece. Two
editions are issued, the four-page daily pub
lished in the English and French languages,
and the I6-page weekly issued wholly in the
English language. One remarkable feature
in the Eastern Express is that an adhesive
stamp is affixed to every copy of the paper be-
fore being printed, and the stamp is so placed
that it is cancelled by the heading when the
paper is printed. The Eastern Express is the
most prominent newspaper in Turkey, is ar,
ranged on the Anglo French plan, and is more
dull and ipsipid than the majority Of Texas
weekly papers.

illustrating the tendency Of capital to combine
for the purpose of strangling competition
where great companies or corporations control
the interests at stake. Mr.. Wilson is Of the
well-known sewing machine manufacturing
house of Wheeler & Wilson, and his circular
is addressed to some 80 leading companies
manufacturing sewing machines throughout
the United States. II Celebrates scheme
for uniting all these manufactures in Produc'
ING only two kinds of machines, fixing the
profits arising from them within margin that
will give at least $1,000, 900 year on their
sales here. We can easily foretell the failure
ofMr. Wilson'S benevolent scheme for forcing
upon the public such sewing machines as he
may elect at his own price. His plan cannot
be successful. The very fact of the organiza-
ton of such monopoly will bring new man
ufactories into the field and abundantly defeat
his purpose. The better way for Mr.. Wilson
will be to tackle competition and try to make
an honest living by producing a good article
and selling il at a reasonable price,

SALEM, N. c., Nov. 2s.-James Buck, an
old white man living near Bodkin, owns g
smallifarm upon which he and his only
daughter lived. She was aged twenty two
and plain. Buck saw the chance of max
ing profitable crop of tobacco if he could
only get some one to assist him and his
daughter in the field. Richard Turney, q
young man, moved in the neighborhood
about fourteen months ago, and secured a
job on neighbering plantation. Turney
become enamored Of Bucks daughter.
The father determined to turn the affection
to account, and agreed if
the young man would assist
him on the farm for one year, he would
give him double barreled shot gun and
his daughter. Turney agreed. The term
of service expired to-day and Turney
asked fulfillment of the contract on the
spot. Buck gave him the gun and called
the daughter in and asked her to agree TO
become Turney's wife, but she refused to
do SO. Turney went off in terrible rage.
He threatened to sue the old man for
$4,000 for breach of contract and get an
injunction restraining the girl from mar
rying his rival.

Several interesting and genuine relics of
the last hours of the Confederacy have been
placed on exhibition by James H. jones' of
Raleigh, N. c., a ine-looking colored man,
who during the war was the body-servant OF
the president Jefferson Davis The relics
consist of two brass camp candlesticks,a gold
mounted Colts revolver, a derringer, and
several gold and silver coins. The
candlesticks were carried by Mr..
Davis all through the Mexican war,
when he was colonel of the famous Missis-
sippi rifles. On the eve before the eventful
morning of the capture of the owner these
candlestichs held candles, one of which
during the early morning was lighted, and
when the Federal cavalry made the rush
Jones took the candlesticks, including the one
with the bit of half-consumed candle, and
placed them in his pocket Jones was never
searched by the troopers, SO now the identical
bit of candle is again in the stick where it
was nearly twenty years ago.

Crab-Raeing in France.
[Chicago Times. ]

Crab-racing is one of the popular amuse-
Hlents just now at French watering places.
The people who take part in this novel and
by no means unexciting sport possess their
own crabs, which are each carefully marked
on their shells with the initials of their pro-
prietors The ''game" is played on the sands
on a marked-out race-course of some sixteen
metres, the winning post being a rope placed
near the sea, and the one that arrives at the
rope first is promptly caught by the umpire
before it can plunge into the water, and is
proclaimed the winner to the great delight of
the successful crab fancier and of those who
wagered on his side-for it need scarcely be
said that betting forms large portion Ct
the interest of the performance.
