NUMBER CCV1II. THE MODERN PLAYGOER, And All that Is Eipccted of Him. As m rale, an ordinary player, who pays for admittance, goes to histcat with a pooJ-n'tured taxation to make tbe bcpt of ovcrtbiug tbst tho isnnpement in its bounty provides for his ac ajou rooflatlcn and entertainment. When the curtain rise he takes everything that is set before lim with a Bentle, touching faith in its possibility. nd unbesitatinply honors all calls fast are made upon his credulity by author?, yaiagers, and actor?. He indoles the follow ing : That an impenetrable forest shall always take the form of eight symmetrical trees, planted with mathematical accuracy in two parallel rows, aDd backed by a mass of tanked troth wood; that guests at a supper shall only sit round three sides of the table; that fonr or five persons conversing In a room tall do so standing in a row; that the windows of a nobleman's drawing-room shall only reach half-way to the ceiling; that the inside of a bouse is much bigger than the oat aide;, that gentlemen of undoubted breeding anall wear tbelr huts in door 9 in the prt?ecnce of ladies of exceptional refinement; that the drawine-rooms of people of taste sad fortune are always decorated An Ordinary Krawlng-room Scene, "with pink panels, trimmed with gold mouldings, and never papered on any account; that tho introduction of gas into private houses dates from the dajsof (say) Julim Ciesar; that a transparent moon is a tiiumpn of scenic ability; Lat waterfalls always creak; that chimpagnc is the common beverage of the nobility at all lours of tbe day and n'ght; that a mortgage can at any moment foreclose; that for an old or eth.tr wise undesirable lover to baud over his Wicked Guardsmen Plotting to Entrap a It lcl Nobleman. promised bride to any gentleman whom dra in a tic justice may point out as the proper person lorberto marry, and for the situation to be accepted cheerfully, on the spot, by all partie8 Beerned,' is an evcry-day bit of mag--"santnilty and resignation; that tbe upsetting srf a table may readily be mistaken for the Bowling of a storm ; that a noise like the sprlug tea; of an exaggerated rattle conveys a faithful Mea of the falling of a hou-e, the noise of earriage wheels, or the smashing of glass; that pieces of broken crockery shaken up in a basket represent the kind of noise that a comic gentlema-i would make m m Tho Ham a Seen on CIimihiI Street. aa falling through a skylight; that ills usual ,ior fueets at a party to express open and un Vlsenlsed admiration ot the mugnlflcence of the looms In which they are eutcrtaiuod; that valets wear powder; that a groom of the cham lers wears a can iry coat; andtha. in too best regulated cstabll-hment there is always one comic footman in an exaggerated livery anl impossible whickers, who?e only duty it Is to announce names wrougly, and to fall do vu with tray of Ices aud apples these are coucessious Which the Modern Tlavgoer is called upon to Stake so frequently, and which he docs make ao unhesitatingly, that it can only be supposed that he la under tho impression that he is aflslstlDg at a state of existence wholly abnormal la itself, and having no refsrenco whatever to iaa complex but familiar social organization "alch flourishes all round the dramatic tuinplo ka which be la sitting. It is required of him that heehall believe that, when a gentleman who la glviug a party wishes toreak tenfidentlally with any of hlu guests, it few felll I -4L WPK ivs tf:; km Ml w$! " ft JrVW nfewiv M 7 w 1 t" Is usual for him to In'errupt a polka (the only drawing room dance rccosnlaed upon the stage), by requesting his guests to retire to some other apartmcat, which they do with the best possible grace, bowing ceremoniously as they reave the room. It joot onfrequently happens that he Is called upon to allow that crimson neckties and pumps form portions ot the dinner diess of an English eentleman of the present day. He mast alwajs be prepared to admit that when an Eastern monarch commands bis Bayaderes or Odalisques to dance before him. he is not at all offended If thoy dance with their backs towards him; and, Indeed, he must net be surprised to find that a troupe of fifty or sixty ballet girls forms part of the corps ffarmce of every general officer. He mut believe that "lights down" means pitchy night. 8nd that the people who occupy the stage un icr uch circumstances are wholly invisible to each other, though they are perfectly visible to him. ne must accept as hardy rutics young laales Danelns: rioiitiboy. who stand in the third position, with hand on hip, and having figures aud chiguons. lie must believe that tho addition of a cloak or a strange hat to a gentlemau's ord'nary attire la sufficient to dipgnisc him from his own mother. He must accept the theory that gentlemen who rescue young ladies from the clutches of niclc-draniatic ravlshers, and whose unities are printed in large type hi tho bi'.la, are nccouipauicJ by music, now solt, now stirriug, wherever they go. lie must be prepared to admit that groat moral strength is aways accompanied by great physical strength, and that one good man is at any time equal to twelve bad ones. He must allow that young ladies of high Olsliuclioa are in the habit of raiublliig nlono in dUmal forests, long alter the rest of the family had goue to bed, and that, rambling under such circumstauces, they always meet with a villain and si thunder-storm. He must accept the proposition that bad men arc in tho habit ot revealing lu solUulo their most audacious projects, and that whenever they do so, a good man is c roach ing behind a buh listening to thoiC' He must not bu sur prised to find that a pi-s'.ol discharged Into tho air kills any one who&e death the structure of the piece demands. Ho must also learn to look upon moustaches as ephemeral things that may dropoff at any moment, and that nobody ever leaves a room without etoppiug to make a speech at the door. liis good nature is severely taxed whenever he is called upon to witness tbe representation of a dumb or blind character, or nn idiot, but it never fails 1o honor tho drafts made upon it, He in u c,t not be surprised to learn th:itriumb people who:c educatiou hn not included a knowledge of the finger-alphabet possess powers of pantomimic narration (if you only give them room enough) which throw mere vocal elo quence altogether into the shade. H? must always be piepared to find that there is always somebody ut hand who can readily interpret a dumb person's gcbtuics into a long aud highly complex Ban alien, requiring the nicest dis crimination in the sclcj'.ion of high-flown mcta phoric phrases on the part of the interpreter. He must not allow any preconceived ideas of the drawbacks which attend a a state of blindness to militate aguiust the theory that people so alliicted are, of all people in tho world, the best qualified to unravel the myste ries with which a murder case is surrounded; and he must allow, in a gctieral way, that blind people, as a body, sue with much greater dls tinctnees than people who only have the use of mere eyes. Ho will find that idiots have a special faculty of expressing themselves in blunk verec, and that In tho matter ot poatlc apostrophe nobody cau approach them; aud ho will learn that they, lu cum-non with all dumb and blind people, arc uduirable a nateur de tectives. Ho will als ) learn that dumb people can always hear, and tint thcie three classes of unfortunates slure wiUi tho Old Lady of Banbury Cross the questionable privilege of having in mic wheicvcr they 0. If tho Modem I'lavgoer is taken ou buard a man of-wor. he i!l tiud that Us o fillers are iilways dretsed in full umforn, with cocked 1ST aW Naval C!ktHlu lu Action. hats, and that a naval captain wean a moustache and long hair, and car rles a telescope. He will find that in action the captain is afraid of nothing iu the worldexccpt Ihe discharge of his own pistol, and that there is always a marine on boaid who is a prominent coward. Altboueh a dreadful coward in time' of peace, he performs prodigies of valor wheu be cnnKC" tatmjt aud indeed it I generally 4 Ssjm owing to bis Intrepid bat, at the tame time, judicious conree of action that tbe United States Is noveventoally swept from the map of tbe world. Tbe Modem Tlajgoer will also learn that the crew of a man-of-war Is composed of bsrdy tors In blue satin trousers, small waists, and diamond earring, who dance horn pipes with two flags apiece; al.o that an aetlon at sea is often conducted fiom one of the lower decks. But It is when tbe Modern rinygoer Is called upon to assist at the proceedings of a criminal court that the n.ost unreasonable demands are made upon his simple faith in managers aud their subordinates. It Is then that he is required to believe that the assertions of the counsel ior the Commouwcalth, in a murder caso, not nn freqently form tho principal evidence against the prisoner: that the evidence for the prosecu tion is lnvuriably overthrown by the suggestions made by the counsel for the defense; that the evidence of the accused one's husband (or wife, as the case may be) is conclusive evidence of the prisoner's lnuoccncc; that all comic witnesses begin by getting Into the jury-box by mistake, and that all deaf-and-dumb witnesses are allowed to give their evldeuce from the floor of the court, which is cleared of obstruc" tions that they may have pluty of sea room. He is required to believe that nil loading counsel are about eighteen or twenty years ol age, and that they all wear what the late Mr. Albert frmith happily described as "an eyebrow on the upper lip;" that a judge Is to nllow himself to disbelieve evidence of the most conclusive detcrlption on the ground that no pri soner with sich an eye as that possessed by the particular prisoner whoso case is unJer consideration could possibly be guilty of the charges brought against lnm. He must not be surprised to discover that the pri soner turns out to bo the Judge's lOBglost son, a connection by marriage of the foreman of the jury, and an early friend of tho counsel for the defense, ne will karn that the cheers which sometimes herald the acquittal of a popular malefactor are generally led by the learned judgo upon the bench, and that the whole thing winds up with a chorus In which every member of the court hus a voice. He will also learn that civil actions of all descriptions, particularly actions ot ejectment aDd probate causes, are tried at sessions of Oyer and Terminer, and that the defendant In such actions is always placed in the dot k handcuffed and guarded by two soldiers with fixed bayonets. He will further be required to believe that the tiile-decds to estates ot inca!culable value and long inheritance are comprised iu a sheet of letter paper, and that the owner (rightful or otherwise) for tho tinio being always carries them in his pocket-book; also that the omission of a stamp from a deed of settlement effectually bars any action that may be brought upon it. Arrext for debt before judgment is still In vogue, and the last utte rances of a dving criminal are quite suuicicnt to vest an estate In auyuoJy whom it may occur to liim to mention. If the unfortunate spectator is called upon to assist at a wedding in high life, lie must be pre pared to find that the bride and bridegroom, with their respective contingents, go to the church on foot; that all the gentlemen and ladies invited wear evening dress, and that if any family difficulty occurs to interrupt the proceedings, there is no filter arena lor its ad justment than the church steps. They will also find that the sexton attached to the sacred edifice is a grotesque piroona'je i n a comic livery, selected, no doubt, by irreverent church-wardens as a pleasant satire ou ritualistic extrava gance. A piece that Involves a war or an Indian outbreak is a terrible tax on the .Modern Play goer's complaisance. He will find that the most tearful ruptures owe their origin to utterly insignificant causes; such as the determination ot a lieutenant to marry the daughter of an Indian chief at any sacrifice, or the determination of the chaplain to convert (broadly to Christianity as a first step, aud then to I'rotestauisin as a matter cf detail) the lovely daughter of an excitable savage. These are a few of the demands which manager ai d authors are encouraged to make upou the good nature of this smiling martyr The Modern Plajgoer, Cabalistic Telegrams from Europe. fcENT OVLR OCB TBIVATE OCLK-CUHREFT T,rNB. London, January 30, 1669. Iteverdy Johnson has resolved to revenge himself upon the work men who withdrew their Invitation to a public dinner, by consuming doublo rations of roost beef and plum pudding during the remainder of tbe season. lie hope that his example will be generally ioliowcd by the English aristocracy) on account of the favor with which they regard hla diplomatic labors, aud that the consequent scarcity ot food will severely punish the auda clous workmen for their presumption. I Ihe leading spirits of the British turf arc about completing their arrangements for the comlug racing season. Kcov lug how deeply your readers are interested iu these momentous eveuts, I fear their hearts will be saddened with the thrilling news that the Grxt favorite, the Duke of Blackleg's grey mare I'luckcm. bad her near lore foot too tlohely pared when she was Ut shod, and that she now limps in conscience of this injury; but they will tie glad to know that the Duke not only horsawhipped the blacksmith for his awkwardness, bat broke his arm with a club, so that there is little fear ot Lis recovery, aud uo danger laat he will ever be able to injure another ornament of the turr. . The London TiiAca published a leading article this morning which culled attention to the con. eisteiicy of its comments un American u I) airs. It proved iucuntcstably that it was equally right iu proclaiming that the success of tho Rebellion was certain, I ud Iu announcim?, aficr thi cap. tcre of ltichnioud, that the Confederacy never Lad a ghost o a chunce of permanent existence; that whether it olleged that the American treasury was bao'ruolnnd United States bon is woitblcs.'', ur praised American sccurltit'i as the most valuable aud profitable in tho world, its rtatemci.ts were entitled to unquestionable credence. On Monday the Timu will publish an aitlcle predicting the disruption of the Union Jn spite of the suppression of the Rebellion, bat this will be followed on Tuesday by auother tremendous leader awakening public attention to the imminent danger that the United 8:ate will speedily absorb Mexico and BritUn North America. Dcblik, Jan. 80, 16C9. The return of Ocoige Francis Train to America leaves Ireland Inconsolable. A areat national poet thus glvi vent to tbe anguish pievailiig in patriotic circles: ' ; ' " ' Oh I wby didst thou lave us, Great gaseous hum- Bug Americans. And l'unklnoe sum? Why ave yon not Kiln, Belore jou set sail, A fair chance to see you Outside of the Jail ir Our people were waiting, And eager to hear, And tor jonr tine prating, Aud words of sool cnesr. Tbcv'd have fed you ou praties, And whisky galoie, And barring that mate l Not plenty in store, They'd have grMced cvry meal With a slice of tbe pic, And made your heart happy By dancing a jig. Oil I wby did tho tear, then. Come over your heart, That if you went not back, To cct a rood start On the read to the White Hon""-, In the next tour-year race, It might possibly bappen You'd wot get the placet Sure tbe bojs will susialu you With ballots and talk, And make jou Head Centre When Grunt has to walk. They could never rtsltt, Without feeling great pain, The gns and tbe hra Jn the gab of Tne Train. Maduid, Jan. 30, 1809. The handsome ladies of Cadla aud of the capital unanimously favor tie election of the Duke of Montpcnsier to the vacant throne, because they arc convinced tbat his elevation will be followed by the universal introduction of French fashions and French etiquette, and they long for a change from the stereotyped Spanish modes. They are tired of tho system which has heretofore required more time for the transportation of Grecian Uenda and paulcrs across the Pyrenees than across the Atlantic. Paris, Jan. 30, I860. The Emperor has been so much annoyed by the diatribes ot Rochefort, that he lias determined to destroy In tbe minds of the French poeple all recollection of tho name of the newspaper in which these attacks appear, and he has accordingly issued a decree that tbe use of lanterns is henceforth forbidden. The war upon journals and lournulista is con tinued, and It is understood in well-informed circles that it will never cease until the writers and publishers adopt the uniform rule of com mencing every article with the exclamation. "Great Ib Napoleon III 1" and ot concluding al their productions with the sentence, "lue Em peror can do to wrong." Constantinople, Jan. 30, 1809. An English man has been arrested here tor high treason, and great excltemout prevails, as the Govern ment Insists upon a vigorous prosecution of the offender, and the British Minister demands hla immediate release, threatening war if his coun tryman is punished. The circumstances con nected with this occurrence arc as follows: The Englishman, at a d'.nuer party given by a British merchant, where good cheer prevailed, was overheard by a Mussulman servant who dropped a decanter, to exclaim "There goes the sublime port." Tho expression was reported to the Government, and immediately construed Into an unpardonable insult. Amsterdam, Jan. 30, 1869. The Dutch have taken all Holland oil to the canals to witness dash ahead and tumble down peiformanos on tho ice. Mynheer von Skydet'donk is the champion male and Frau Cluckenhen the champion female skater. They hive attained such extraordinary grace and speed that they frequently skate a minuet iu a mile, and their consumption of Holland gin during tho intervale which occur between their perform ances is wonderful to behold. Skyderdonk challenges the world to produce a skater that can smoke as many pipes of tobacco and simultaneously travel over as great a space as himself. If Ameiica does not accept this chal lenge, her skaters may as well consider them selves smoked out. -FIRE-PROOF SAFES.
