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

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

in a tic justice may point out as the proper person

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
