A friend sends me this anecdotes: "A friend
told me a rich story of John /. Blair and his
financial settlement with the state central
committee after his defeat for the guberna-
torial honors Of Jersey. 1t was at the Met
ropolitan hotel in this city. Newt. Conger,
Bob Bellville, who was drowned from a Fall
River steamer some years ago, and Col John
Cook, whose eccentric friendship
with Lincoln would make an
interesting half column, were
among the parties present. After Mr.. Blair
had listened to the reasons why BIO was de-
feated, he arose and made a brief address to
the gentlemen, thanking them for their labors
in his behalf, and then added that he felt
very much like the fellow out west who had
driven a lot OF hogs 500 miles In the
dust and rain and was eventually compelled
to sell them for less than he had paid for
them. When he returned home his friends
began TO ~sympathize with him for his want
of luck oh, well. " said he, Il don't mind
that much, for you know l had the company
OF the hogs anyway"

1t is nothing uncommon for an actress or
actor to play in borrowed plumes
CLOTHES borrowed for the occasion-modern
attire not being furnished by the wardrobe,
only square cuts or historical costumes =
furnished by the manager, excepting, indeed,
by special contract, as in the case OF the
leading lady at a fashionable theatre, where
magnificent toilets advertised as made by
Worth are furnished by the manager. 1t is
seldom that professionals ever wear their
clothes of the stage. An actor will 20 seedy
in the street in order to appear
in good clothes on the stage. The
strong illumination of the footlights in
simultaneously shows up the shine In a
diagonal that only the sun would reveal on
the street. The most ingenious posing or at
titudinizing will not conceal the bagginess In
tn users on the stage. Only a shiny new hat
will serve on the stage.
Professionals, IL they have any wardrobe
at all, always have something that Is worth
something, and consequently as long as they
have their trunkn, which is the comprehen-
sive torn for wardrobe, they need not fear
their landlady. But as the wardrobe is a sine
quo non, it is only in the direst extremity
that the runk Is placed in the safe keeping
Of the landlords. 1t is often done, but gen
orally at the close Of the season, in a bank
rupt condition on the roads, In order to get
back TO friends.
