Managers ard Dramatists.

Within my knowledge gentleman
who has occupied the highest position in
the profession as actor, author, and
manager, and who is well known to
every lessee in London, has vainly en-
deavored for the past twelve months to
even get a hearing for his dramatic
works. Yet the same man has presented
MS literary work to various publishers,
20 whom he was unknown except by
name and in nearly every instance has
found an immediate market. There is,
Of course, the other side to the picture,
and nowadays certain dramatists are no
sooner successful than they ''sit' on
every one who is supine enough to sub
NIT to the indignity. OF this class is the
gentleman who takes for his motto:
am Sir Oracle.
And when l ope my lips let no dog bark
When he speaks of the wretched mana
ger it is, Il and the man called the man
ager. As for the actors. they are merely
the instruments that give my music to
the dazzled and delighted world. People
don't come to see them-they come to
see my piece" If the actor dares to say
''that' instead of this or (which in
stead of what" he defiles the authors
composition If the piece succeeds it is
''because it is mT piece if it fails it is
through ''the incompetence of the actors
or because my sensation scene is painted
instead of built out, or because there isn't
sufficient water in the waterfall, or be-
cause there is not lignopodium enough
in the lamp or strOntiUm i'll the red fire,
or because sawdust has been used instead
of charcoal for the explosion, or because
there isn't enough limelight, or because
the thunder has worked in the wrong
place, or the lightning hasn't worked at
all, or the wind has refused to whistle, or
the peas to rattle down the rain-bOX.'
Occasionally, however, the author has
lis nose put out of joint by the scene
painter. / once heard distinguished
knight Of the brush exclaim: Oh
the author and the actors! The public
come to see my sceneryr' The man
was quite right, for the play was so bad,
and the actors so pOwerless to retrieve it,
that the only thing worth seeing was
the scenery! Among the gossip in cir
culation at the clubs it is currently re-
lated of a recently deceased important
drama which had been in preparation for
many months that, up to within a fort
night of its production, not a line of the
last act had been written.-L0ngman's

Speaking of Sherman's position as
vice president it is curious coincidence
that at the last Inauguration he was the
second to take President Cleveland's
hand, President Arthur shook it first,
just as he turned about and after finish
ing his inaugural and the next man to
step up was Sherman, of Ohio. Had
there been a vice president he would
naturally have come behind Arthur.
But there was none, and Senator Sher-
