Patti Kissed BY a King.

FL Diluvis: Adelina Patti, who has
been lately celebrating her triumph in
Madrid, her native city, the other day
craved the honor of being admitted into
the presence of the queens mother,
Christina, of Spain. On this being
granted, the artist expressed a wish to
see the little king, '"for," she loosely
added, "he is the only European sover-
eign with whom | have not yet had a
personal interview" At a sign from
the queen Altonzo XIII. was brought
into the .'oom. Nine. Patti made IA low
courtesy and pressed his chubby little
hand TO her lips. The queen regent
then pleasantly remarked: my son
shall not be the first Spaniard who con-
ducts himself so ungallantly as to suffer
his hand to be kissed by a lady. Pray
allow him to make amends by kissing
you in return" Promptly obeying,
Alfonzo XIII. threw his arms around
abe diva's neck and kissed her right
heartily on her cheek and lips.

The First Dramatic Performance.
Where was the first public dramatic
performance in America given? Author
tiles have differed, but Colonel T.
Allston Brown is chief of them, and he
provides new evidence that New York
city has the honor. Colonel Brown has
begun to publish in the Clipper a series
of historical articles on the theater IN
the question of priority. M. Dunlap,
in his History Of the American
Theater," says: son September Is,
1852, at Williamsburg, the capital of
Virginia, the first play performed in
America by "A company of comedians
was represented to a delighted audi
ence." James Rees says that "a portion
of Hallaln's troupe combined with sew
eral artists engaged for America by John
Moody, arrived in Philadelphia 1867,
and opened the first theater dedicated to
anddramatic muse with well organized
company in the colonies" e. But Colonel
Brown brings cle' proof of his claim
for New York city the honor of being
the first place in America where the
English drama was brought oft by pro-
fessional actors, The truth of history
compels him to dispel the illusion under
which these historians have so long
rested, and to set forth the case as il
really is. In September, 1872, n COM
pany composed of regular actors just ar
rived from London organized them
selves for dramatic entertainments.
They secured a large room in the upper
part OF a building, which was fitted up
with a platform stage and raised seats,
capable OF seating about 400 people,
Getting a number of amateurs, they
opened the last week in September,
1882, and played three times each week.
Wit Drove the Pain Away.
Upon the occasion of Kate Fields
first appearance in New York, SAYS the
Brooklyn Eagle, she sent for all the re-
porters TO meet her at Chickering hall
n hear her in a morning rehearsal.
As it happened, Mr.. Hassard was one of
these. The house had been occupied
the previous night by some concert
amateurs, and M of the singers had
dropped a bit of her false hair on the
stage. The little band of reporters
formed themselves into a small, human
cluster about the press table be-
low the stage, and Miss Field,
somewhat nervous, swept out from a
side door upon the platform with a
roll OF manuscript and much tutter of
skirts. The wind from her waving raj
ment blew the light roll OF false hair
forward and over the edge OF the plat
form. Miss Field, in her agitation and
near ~sightendess, failed to see il clearly,
aud believing it to be fearful, fero-

"Some Plain Facts. :"
TO the Editor of THE HERALD.

To the Editor of THE HERALD
In your Sundays issue 1 notice an
article under 1.-THE above caption in
which the writer INDUCES in grand
TRADE on all travelling statesmen; the
dry goods fiend, book agent. etc. Being
one Of the last named fraternity, will,
with your permission, call his attention
to few hard facts, OF which he seems
to be as densely ignorant as the class
for which he assumes to write. s.5l
The first of these is, that almost with
out an exception, the largest and most
respectable publishing houses in the
United States are engaged IN the sub :
scription book business. The Harpers,
Appletons, Bancrofts, etc.
| would remind him that while there
may have been much trash sold in this
way, many of the finest OF our literary
aud scientific productions are also sold
by this method; all the great encyclo-
pedias and histories have been, nay,
are being sold by subscription. Be
cause there are fraud in
calling, is that reason why
the calling itself should be sup
pressed? If it is, | believe |
could instance frauds that have been
perpetrated amongst the merchants of
this city, yet If l should advise people
not to trade with those merchants on
that account, [ should imply write
myself down an ass"
Mr.. TownshenG seems to think it
monstrous, that before starting the can
vass of book, the solicitor should be
furnished with prospectus and gen.
eral description of the work he is to
offer. Pray, how else is he TO offer it?
l suppose the writer is one of those
lofty individuals we some lines see be-
hind the counters of our dry goods
stores, with hair banged and parted in
the middle, who, when a lady steps III
to examine his wares, will throw bolt
of goods on the table, and then stand
back with an air that plainly says it is
too muchsof condescension to be So
ciable.
l would like to have the writer of
"Plain Facts" understand, that while
the book canvasser is not the father of
every individual with whom he does
business, so long as he offers moth
ing meretricious, he is engaged
in as legitimate calling as any one
else, and if his customers occasionally
buy something they do not need, the
fault is not his: they are dong that all
the time in the stores, yet ]. l.. I. never
thought to cudgel the dealers for that.
Perhaps I have said enough this time.
l will add, however, that should chance
to come across ]. l.. T. shall feel in
duty bound to assume the role of pater
familias. WILLIAM H. BURTON.
