OF the same master carpenter, who wondered
why the queer boy didn't save the six pence
and sit In the pit and hear the play. But
Wilson Barrett early felt that great success
in any profession depended upon a thorough
mastery of every branch of that profession.
In order to study the play free of charge, he
learned the violin and got IN engagement in
the orchestra; and in order to get on the
stage he took lessons in dancing whenever he
could pay for it; and it was as a dancer that
he matte hs first pubic appearance. he per-
formed so well between acts that the come
dian whose benefit he enlivened took a fancy
to him and taught him broadsword combat,
which barrett practised in his own room on
Sunday mornings, thinking it might be of
some use to him sometime. That same come
dian and his son are now members of Mr..
Barrett's travelling company.
Young Barrett had now decided in his own
mind to abandon all other employments and
make his living by acting. But a formidable
obstacle lay in his way-his parents were OPP
posed to the measure. His father felt terribly
and prophesied utter failure, while the heads
of the printing firm did their utmost to dis
suade him. But Wilson Barrett stuck to his
purpose and succeeded at once. In ten weeks
time he had passed from the smallest parts to
playing the leading young mar parts. His
success has been steady from that day to this,
and has always been attended by such conduct
as to win for him the personal regard and ar
tistic appreciation of the theatre going public.
Mr.. Barrett is not only n fine actor and an
able manager, but also a good citizen and a
perfect gentleman. His generosity, both in
purse and sympathy, to the MEMBERS of his
own profession and to the needy in other
walks of life has been too great and constant
not to be well known, although he himself has
always been silent about it. When he real.

Very few persons who remember the
Church of the Puriians in Union square, In
which the Rev. George Il. Clteever preached
so eloquently and paSsionately against slavery
in the days before the war, have any idea
that IL remains in the same form in another
quarter of the town, Tilfany's jewelry Gnd
silterware establishment occupies its site.
1t was Il familiar and pictorial structure with
its granite walls and clustering ivy, and was
remarkable for having one tower much
shorter than the other. The story is that,
while the building was contemplated, one of
the members of the Congregational society,
while travelling in Europe, was particularly
struck with a church in England. Having
some skill in drawing, and some idea of
architecture, lie made a copy of the English
ediiice on paper, brought 1t home, and it SO
pleased the building committee that they sub,
stantially adopted the design. Long after
they learned that the reason of the short
tower on the other side was that the British
congregation had not sufficient money to
finish it This greatly amused DR.. Cheever's
congregation, but did not alter their opin-
ion of the picturesqueness of the alb,
breviated tower. The Church of the Puri
tans was sold, the stones marked and put into
the Mt. Olivet (coloredl Baptist church, in
Fifty-thiEd street near Seventh avenue, an
exact reproduction of the fvy-covered pile of
a quarter of a century ago in Union square,
minus tho Ivy. But in the street through
which the elevated railway runs it naturally
does not look half so imposing as 1t Ibid in the
famous square. Hardly any old New Yorker
recognizes it, | suspect, when he passes it.
DR.. Cheever is also extant, though gener-
ally supposed to be dead. He retired from
the pulpit during the civil war on account of
delicate health, and has been living most of
the time in one of the New Jersey suburbs.

described as containing demons, and consti-
tuting an Internal pit. The article had wide
popularity In the form OF IA temperance tract;
Deacon Gle was Thought to be n wealthy
citizen, who WAS quite popular with ii certain
class, Consequently, Cheever's skit excited
wrath, against him among the common peo-
pie, who attacked him, ana handled him
roughly In the street. He was also tried for
libel and committed to jail for thirty days.
He has always ts.ken profound pride in that
Imprisonment as the penalty for freedom of
expression For the last twenty years he has
taken no part in public affairs, passing his
time among his books, and with some of his
old friends. He has himself been u prolific
author, but has written nothing for a long
while. He is now 20, and wholly unknown

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.~-Mr. Wilson Barrett,
lessee and manager of the Royal Princess
theatre, London, will soon arrive in America,
and will appear in his favorite roles in all our
leading cities as far west as Chicago. A
friend of the celebrated actor has furnished
no many fresh details of his early life
which will be read with interest at this time,
when Mr.. Barrett is about to Ian on our
shores.
Wilson Barrett was a precocious boy. Be
tween IL and 13 he learned every word Of
Hamlet and the Merchant Of Venice, whilo
hard at work in the office of a wholesale corn
merchant who paid the lad six shillings a
week. Ont of this sum his parents allowed
him two shilings and sixpence, with which
he was expected to clothe and feed himself.
He had only a bed and supper at home. His
hours of labor were from z in the morn
ing until 10 or IL at night, with a half
hours rest for breakfast and another half
hour for lunch-the larger portion of which
time he employed in reading whatever he
could lay hands upon, especially anything
about plays or the stage. Every cent that he
could spare from his tiny weekly stipend or
could gain in any extra way he spent on
books. His duties at the corn merchants
We're numerous and varied. He would carry
money to the bank on foot and convey grain
to a purchaser with a horse and cart, and
more than once, when about14, he actually
logged sacks OF corn or flour for certain dis
tances, the sacks often weighing two and q
half hundred weight. About this time, when
