With your kind permission, Mr.. Editor
under the above title something out OF the
common run do propose. In this wide
world some things there are which to the
general ear should not begiven. OF those
who can secret keep there are not many
and 10 the few select whose ears are open
and whose mouths are closed myself
shall address.
o.our Judge Green Supreme Court OIL
Appeals) doubtless some stories you have
heard. Now 10 my mind another one
there comes. One day the iudgeto see q
friend did 70. The friend being absent,
his vile the visitor within did bid and TO
himself did leave to wait. A bed there
was within the room, the which espyiDg,
and with "matters Of great pith and
moment" then eugrossed, his boots and
coat he did pull of and himself did gently
put to bed. From his head also think he
did remove his hat. Enter friend.
Tableau LOT law the judge head has
very full.
While along Market street strolled two
friends 1 met who Of politics did chatter.
Said one: "For the sherlf's Office Bill
Handlan his work is getting in, and that 10
beat him the Republicans can't put up a
man some folks there are who think. 0! a
man who Bill Handlan out OF his boots
could whip some talk I've heard. What's
hisname? Frank Johnson (Postoftice). That
Sandy Is popular and rafting run
would make tell you. Said No. 2, "You
are correct, by Joye; johnson q good Re.
publican Is, lots Of friends he has, and
when to work Is called always Is he found"
That to FIX their pavements the properly
owners on Market street north Of the iron
bridge the Board Of Public Works has not
long since compelled I am astonished. To
stumble over piles Of dirt or wade through
pools OF mud at night one 10 obliged, or
through the street to walk with angry words
his lips upon.
In the Opera House last night l sat, ard
the good impression that "Hazel Kirke"
had made noted. OF the difficulty be.
tween the author, Steele Mackaye and the
owners Of the Madison Square Theatre
could not help but think. Before agenius
he knew himself to be Mackaye by the
Mallorys was employed. That Q good thing
they had the Mallorys did know. When
with "Won OF Last" and "a Fools En-
randi Mackaye's was here, with him
about the affair . talk ! had. For the
control OF the play then his suit was pend
ing, and on this subject his bel:lud was
boiling. By the contract terms the copy
right to ali Mackaye's plays while in their
employ produced, the Mallorys were to own.
Under the name "The Iron Will" with
poor success "Hazel Kirke" was PLAYED.
AT the opening Of Mallory's Theatre, Feb.
ruary 4, 1850, in only the names oil the
principal characters, and OF the play itself
were changes made. But still to "Hazel
Klrke" with grip than death more firm
the Mallory's do hold.
X
OF public taste the auctuation Is most
strange. OF 1.-THE Iron VIII" as "Hszel
Kirke" the great success you know. With
Gillette's Professor" the same history
itself repeats. Until hold Of Il the Madi-
SON Square folks did take failure Il had
scored. When with "Won at Last" Mac.
Kaye was here ION" he did seem TO ''catcb,"
and soon thereafter with wages in arrears
his company disbanded. Yet to my mind
n better drama than "Haxel Kirken Is
avon al Last''-on the whole perhaps not
quite no pleasing, but that than the average
NAV 10 public favor Il has higher claims to
me Is plain. This thing ! can not clearly
