The Author and the Manager.
 lExchanRe.l

Dramatic authors do not always have fair treatment at the outset, whatever managers may say. At, least, that is what young man, who writes plays be- cause his name happens to be Blackstone, thinks, and these are the facts he puts in evidence:
 He says that he called at one of the theatres one morning and said to the manager, "Well, sir, you told me to call in a couple of weeks for your opinion of that play left with you"
 "Piay-playp said the manager, rub ping his corrugated brow. What play ?'
 "Why, mine Don't you remember realistic California play, Shorter Jake, or the Days of '4o p"
 "Oh, yes, of course Well, what about itr'
 "Well as it's been here over two months, l dropped in to know whether you have accepted itp
 "Well, the fact is," said the autocrat of the boards, shutting the door and as- suming confidential air, "your drama is remarkably strong work, my dear sir-remarkably strong, 1 admit; but it needs-it needs pruning"
 "Does it?"
 "Yes; and then there's the third act. The action all through it needs livening up, and tbe tableau at the end isn't strong enough"
 "Want something more striking2"
 " Exactly, aud then you'd better in- troduce comic character or two and let me see-wedge in a song or some thiRg."
 How would clog dance strike you P
 We'll, don't know about that But by all means try to kill the heavy villain earlier in the last act-kill him with poison, if possible pistols frighten the ladies in the audience, you know"
 "Think so, do youP Y that all?"
 "Ye-es, that's all 1 -an think of just now. Here's the manuscript" fishing it out of a pigeon-hole.
 "Just oblige me by opening it," said the author gloomily. 3
 The manager did so, and it disclosed nothing but few quires of blank paper.

Smokers in the White House.

Washington Special to Baltimore American l
 "So the White House is to have another smoker" said an old attache of that establishment, as he carefully nursed a fragrant Havana and watched tbe rings of smoke ascend toward the frescoed ceiling. see that Mir. Cleveland is a smoker. We'll, there has been pretty constant smoking here since Grant came h. There was an interregnum, SO to speak, under Hayes, who did not smoke, nor did any of his boys but with that exception the presidents since Lincoln have all been smokers. MT. Lincoln did not smoke nor chew. Johnson did, so did Grant, so did Garfield, % does Arthur, and so will Cleveland. There were great times among the smokers when Grant came in. It seemed as though everybody here smoked then. 1 remember up in the presidents room at the Capitol, when he used to go up there to sign bills on the closing days of the session, the smoke was SO thick that you could cut it with knife. as the saying is. No, Hayes did not smoke, but not be- cause of any objection on the part oi his own wife, for think she rather enjoyed the odor of good cigar. remember that she turned the cottage at the Soldiers Home upside down one day looking for cigar for me after had taken dinner with the family there. She had seen me smoking at my desk and set out to find some cigars there, insist ing that l should not be deprived of my after dinner smoke, but failed, for some body had captured all of them.

Napoleon's Meanness.

Croker's Recollections of Wellington.1
 Bonaparte's mind was, in its details low and ungentlemanlike l suppose the narrowness of his early prospects and habits stuck to him; what we understand by gentlemanlike feelings he knew noth- ing at all about. I'll give you curious instance. have beautiful little watch, made by Breguet at Paris, with map of Spain most admirably enamelled on the case. Sir Edward PAget bought it at Paris and gave it to me. What do you think the history of this watch was at least the history that Breguet told Paget and Paget told me? Bonaparte had ordered it as present to his bro her. the king of Spain, but when he heard of the battle of Vlttoria he was then at Dresden in the midst of all the prepara- tions and negotiations of the armistioe, and one would think, sufficiently busy with other niatters-when he heard of the battle of Vittoria, 1 say, he remembered the watch he had ordered for one whom he saw would never be king of Spain, and with whom he was angry for the loss of the battle, and he wrote from Dresden to count :rms and the watch and fit should be ready, to forbid it being sent The best apology one can make for this strange littleness is that he was offended with Joseph bun even in that case gentleman would not have taken the mo- ment when the poor devil had lost his chateaux CD Espagne to take away his watch also. All those codicils to his will, in which he bequeathed millions to the right and left and among others left legacy to the fellow who was accused ofattempting to assassinate me, is another proof of littleness of mind; the property he really had he had already made his disposition E. For the payment of all those other high. sounding legacies there was not the shadow of fund. He might as we'll have drawn bills for ten millions on that pump ct Aldgate. sWe had on our way driven past it) While he was writing all these magnificent donations he knew that they were all in the air, all falsehood. For my part, can see no magnanimity in lie, and confess that ! think one who could play such tricks but shabby fellow"
