Saved Frc- Gin.

speaking of the pc. secutions of ac-
tors reminds me Of very pretty story
regarding Edwin Booth. 1t was while
ne was playing at the Winter Garden
tnat young miss in her teens fell des-
perately in love with him. She was the
only daughter of wealthy parents, and
night after night she would make some
excuse to leave home and go to the
theater. She deIuged Booth with love
letters, and finally he wrote to her. tell
ing her to meet him at the stage door at
the end OF a performance on certain
night. She was there according to ap-
pointment. Booth handed her into his
carriage and gave some whispered in
structions to the driver. The horses
were driven rapidly, and in few mo-
ments the young girl found herself in
front OF her own home. The carriage
stopped, and Booth assisted her to
alight. Taking her arm in his he walk
ed with her up the stoop and rang the
bell. 1t was late and the girls father,
who had become very anxious about
her whereabouts, opened the door.
When he saw her in the company of the
actor he started back in astonishment.
Mil said Mr.. Booth very
quietly, Il have brought your daughter
home. She has been very foolish, but
she has promised never to be so again,
and would advise you to take better
care of her." With these words he
turned and left. That young girl is a
happy wife and mother now, but she
never tires of telling the lesson she re-
celved from the great actor-NeU York
Star.

The ShakeSpearian Revival.

The event of the past week has been
the Shakespearlan festival at Cincinnati,
where the plays of the immortal bard
of Avon have received rendition at the
hands of the greatest artists of the day.
The casts included such Shakespearian
interpreters as Mccullough. Murdoch,
Barrett, Collier, Mary Anderson, Kate
Forsyth and Rhea. That such festival
was possible instances the long stride
that has been taken within few years
towards return to the legitimate
drama.
From the close of the war up to 1880
Shakespeare's grand studies of human
nature, which run the gamut of human
passions from the fine spun, metyphisi-
cal subtleties of Hamlet, to the bright
wit and delicate repartee of Beatrice,
or that embodiment of passionate love
Juliet, were covered with the mold of in
difference and forgetfulness. The excite
ments generated through the war were
not yet laid and the continued craving
was not met by the measured sentences
of the Shakespearian verse. To meet
the demand new class of amusements
were evolved where shapely limbs and
well rounded forms took the place of
the dainty wit of Beatrice and the
bright merriness of Rosalind, while the
tailor and the dressmaker, assisted by
society twaddle smothered the subtleties
of Hamlet, the passion Of Lear and the
jealousy OF Othello under robe of neg
lect.
Another important factor in this
eclipse of the great bard was the dearth
just at that time of his interpreters
The elder Booth had passed away leav-
ing his mantle to his illustrious son,
who, great as were his powers, was
unable alone TO stem the tide of the
illegitimate flowing in, Forrest still
remained but shorn through age and
weakness of his former power, and
thus, Notwithstanding the fortune spent
and lost by Booth in an attempted
Shakespearian revival, in his own thea

A Bitter Revenge.

The production in Boston of Pounce
q Co., recalls story told of its author
Ben +. Woolf, the critic. Some years
ago Ben was an orchestra leader in a
Boston theater, at which his wife was
leading lady. She was noted at that
time for the extensive ''gagging'' she
chose to give every part which, came into
her hands. Walter Lennox became a
member of the same company. and see-
ing the leading lady's game, he took a
hand at the gagging himself, with such
success as to frequently rattle the
leading lady very bad. Woolf, who is
Jew, became very angry at Lennox,
and gave him from the orchestra what
Lennox took for 4 public insult. In
speaking to the stage manager about it
Lennox said: ''But I'll be even with
him yet. I'll have a terrible revenge
on the jew" "What will you do!'' in
CURED the manager. ''l'll wait until
he's dead, and then go to the cemetery
and pound his grave with ham,
Woolf heard of the remark, and, be-
coming very angry, called on Lennox
and asked him if he had said it. eyes"
replied Lennox: ''And I'll do it, and a
great deal more What will YOU do
sir?' screamed Woolf. 'Tll build a
fence around your grave with pork
sausages.

Happily, just at the proper moment.
arose a new school of Shakesperian
expositors, and under the leadership
of Mccullough, Barrett, and Keene.
following each in his own way in the
footsteps of the high priest of the Straf-
ford temple, Booth, the demand for a
higher class of entertainments was met
and filled. From that day the wave
has rolled steadily in until the present
season will see more companies devoted
to the production of the plays of Shakes
peare than ever before in this country.
The festival which has Just closed in
Cincinnati was the result not the be-
ginning of this movement, but never
theless it will have its influence in
strengthening and confirming the public
mind in the direction towards which it
is now pointing.
Nor is this revival of interest to none
but the admirers of the world s
greatest genius and his personifiers. 1t
marks an era of intellectual advance
ment that cannot be allowed to pass
unheeded. It stamps the return from
frivolity to solidity. 1t is benefit to

tually, but morally and socially

Better Than the COrresnandence.

The following old but good and true
story of Horace Greeley has been start
ed upon its rounds again. On one oc-
casion. just as Mr.. Greeley was about
leaving the Office to attend political
lecture, the Albany correspondent, an
old friend whom Greeley had sent up
the river to write rubbishy letters in
order to be out of the way, entered.
His eye detected something wrong in
the editors rear Excuse me, Mr..
Greeley" he said hesitatingly, "but-
your suspender is hanging down below
your overcoat. You can't go out on
the street in that way .'D-n your
impudcnce!" squeaked Horace, with a
face as red as lobster. Never you
mind my suspender. It's a id sight
better than your Albany correspondence
anyway"

plan adopted by congress was the fill
terer for the commission. He was to
be the major domo of the establishment,
keeping the common herd at a respect
full distance. Hence it was not too
much toexpect that he would be model
in his way. He was, but his way struck
the death knell of the high hopes cult
waited through months of waiting, in
that it was Mr.. Cameron's way, and
the methods of that gentleman had
never been accepted as authoritative
specimens Of what civil service reform
should be. The appointment staggered
even that alleged adept in practical poll
ties the President, who waited to see
whether the commission really meant it
before he confirmed the appointment,
and MIR. Keim bestrode the ragged edge
for some weeks in order toallow the COM
mission time to recover its senses. At
last accounts no perceptible rays of re-
turning reason were visible and Mr..
Keim's chances were improving.
1t may be, as asserted by friends.
that the gentleman has reformed, that
he has looked his last upon the beer
when it is amber and will forget the
teaching of Cameron in the mysteries of
the Pendleton bill. This may be more
than pleasing fiction. But having seen
Que of the original founders of the
movement decend to the tricks of the
politician to obtain office; after having
witnessed months frittered away in
doing nothing; after having their con-
fidence in the alleged good judgment
and high principles of this new school
of government abused by the appoint
ment of client of the most objection
able boss in the country, to the highest
place in the gift of the commission, it is
hardly to be wondered at if portion
of the distrust SO generally generated
by those cratic actions of the opponents
of true government, come TO the top.
A simple, straightforward reform was
demanded. A crochity, fantastic dis
regard of allpledges, and cratic progress
towards no reform ut all is the result.
The need of the present is commission
to reform the civil service commission.
