Necessity of Physical Beauty.


John Hollingshead, Che London theatrical man
ager, in an interview, says II contend that no
person, man or woman, has right to enter the
profession unless he, and particularly she, has
physical beauty. [ want in a woman pretty
face, sympathetic voice, lssome figure a good
presence With a man it is the same. He should
be handsome to succeed. A handsome jeune
premier has a much larger income than one of
Mr. Gladstone's secretaries, and livelier time,
too. Grecan nose, a well-cut mouth, nicely
curled mustache, pair of soft eyes (hazel for
a choice), small feet and hands, hair, color indif
ferent ired barredl, but carefully bushed five
feet eight inches, unexcepticnable tailor, and
there you are. A fashionable ieune premier may
rise to f30 week Brains? No consequence;
none whatever. Good manners are much more
valuable
Il have laughed till the tears rolled down my
cheeks at Mr. Terry's drolleries Mr.. Toole
would put shrew in a good temper, SO would
Mr.. Penley Mr.. Hill or Mr.. Paulton, but do you
call them good types Of physical beauty9"
"Ah, that is quite different matter. low
comedian needs no physical charms. indeed, they
would rather clog his progress in his profession.
A snub- nose and wide mouth is often worth
fortune to No. a surprising genius or
low comedian are exceptions to my rule"

A MIR. watts's Byron Collection.


Apropos of Byrons screen, there is anottSsr
bargain to be picked up by some fortunate col
lector There at least three trying to trace
it. We refer TO an extraordinary collection of
autographs, portraits and manuscripts of every
description, made many years ago by o Mr..
Watts, first violin at Her Maiestys Theater.
Watts conceived violent admiration for Byron
and things Byronlc, and showed it by obtaining
as many portraits, autographs and relics of the
bard as was possible for one man. Every half
penny he could could not spare went toward
adding something to his collection. He at last
had copy of the poets work struck off specially
on largo quarto paper and proceeded TO "Gran-
gerze" or illustrate it by the insertion of his
mass of materials. When finished it is believed
it was bound up in many volumes. In the
course Of years both Watts and his book dropped
out of sight, and it is now the task Of several
eager collectors to find out the whereabouts of
the precious volumes. We should fancy it rath-
er hopeless quest. but one which would if sue
cessful, richly repay the fortunate finder.

The Great Pressure of the Correspondence of

drew in a long breath and seated himself down
in his chair as If resigned to his impending DOOM
"Why it started this way-it always has a start:
any member will tell you-it started this way:
As soon as | got to Congress got o letter from
one Of my constituents congratulating me upon
my election, and saying that he knew now there
would be some legislation; the Constitution
should not be violated l must introduce bill in
the House to prohibit fishing in my district with
three hooks to one line-'twas unconstitutional
I answered that letter, bewailing the utter disre-
gard Of Congress for the national fisheries, and
explaining the utter uselessness of attempting
class legislation. That settled it. / got four
letters from that neghborhood by returning
mail, and they kept on increasing until the
entire population was represented by
autograph letters My promptness to
answer any and all letters was heralded
all over the country, and was asked to pass all
sorts Of bills, from one to regulate the length of
prayers to one for the suppression of kissing at
pound parties. One man wanted to know
whether the rope Guiteau was hung with was
hemp or cotton | referred this letter to the
Department of Justice. The Announcement
indorsed it to the warden of the jail, who re-
turned it to me with minute official description
of the rope-the material. length and manner of
make. This contributed largely to increase my
correspondence. Everybody who had some
thing to write about that ono else would
notice was told my address, with the assurance
that loved to write letters. large number of
my letters now are from applicants for places
under the new administration. One man wanted
q place that would take him to Canada he did
not know what particular place. His doctor had
told him that it would benefit his health to live
there, and if l would just look around and find
a place there for him with pretty good salary
attached he would like it. But by the way
he had children just growing up / might take
this into consideration and gethim located where
there were good free schools.
Another fellow wrote that he would leave it
to me to pick out his place for him, but mustn't
get the salary below 81 300 He thought I'd be
better judge of good places than he was. q
'Some men may refer these letters to the
waste basket, but it don't do They must be
answered. l must write; good-by / mustn't
waste moro time talking. Til have to sit up late
to make up for it, | must write. The walls are
closing around me-
