Itllaa Netta."
"Miss Netta" is not a myth, as many people
suppose her to be. I mention her thus fami
liarly because I take for granted Fhilndelphlans
who read the newspapers hare become ac
quainted with it from seeing It therein. What
her real name is matters little to any of the
public. She chooses to be known as "Mies
Netta," and tinder that fictitious name does a
great deal of good as one of the leaders in the
working-women's early-closing movement. In
that sphere she has found a large field for labor,
and performs her work with an earnestness that
fights agaisH fatigue. From the interest that
editors take in her it is fair to argue that she
has pleaded her cause in most of the newspaper
office? of the city. She is a neat and lively little
woman of about thirty years of age, talks
fluently, and has the art of interesting in her
hobby those she speaks with.
Having had much experience as a saleswoman,
she is acquainted to perfection with the mutual
tricks and vices of employers and employed,
and has at her tongue's end stories of women's
grievances which were borne by their victims
uncomplainingly for years. You cannot talk
for half an hour with "Miss Netta" without be
coming convinced that the welfare of the op
pressed class she has worked among occupies a
sacred nook in her heart. She takes prominent
part in a meeting that is to be held to-morrow
night at Plympton Hall, and of which, should it
prove sufficiently interesting, I propose to give
you some account. I have little doubt but that
after a while she will sign an emancipation
proclamation, declaring the white slaves of New
York free.
Moaqalto-lne!
Those who are a prey to that distribution of
the devil whose mortal name is mosquito, will
wave their arms and cry "Ha-ha ! ha-ha !" Jon
being told that an ointment has been prepared
which deals death to that evil insect. When the
inventor shall announce his intention to adver
tise liberally, and shall yield to the rule of "pay
ment Invariably in advance," I shall be ready to
Rive his name and address to the public. Until
then he must be content with this obscure and
partial reference, and console himself with the
thought that the best inventions are often the
longest in securing public attention. It is suffi
cient to say that the ingredients are Imported
from Greenland's icy mountains or from
India's golden sands I don't remember
which that the parts which are to be
preserved from bites are simply
anointed with it, and that its smell has the
same effect upon the musquito that the breath
of the upas tree has on man. Not many days
ago a gentleman went down among the swamps
of Long Island, where musquitoes abound.
Whether he did so in the interests of entomol
ogy, or whether he wanted to become acquainted
with the virtues of the ointment in order, as an
agent, to bear witness to its virtues, I do not
pretend to decide. All that I know is that,
taking off the clothes which covered the upper
part of his body, he sponged that part with the
liquid Musquito-ine (I respectfully suggest this
name as a "taking" title), and seating himself
dared the gnats to do their worst.
At the end of an hour he had reason to sus
pect that the clad portion of his body, or all
below his waist, was ploughed up into ridges
with mosquito venom, and subsequent inspec
tion proved that this suspicion was correct.
Those parts which he had sponged and left bare,
on the contrary, were untouched and in their
natural couditiou. nence, be fancies that the
time will come when Mosqulto-lne will be so
popular that "no household will bo complete
without it," and that bedtime will discover
men, women, and children in various stages of
undressing, with a bottle of Mosquito-ine in one
hand and a sponge wet with it in the other.
Plannners la Midsummer.
In m'd3ummer the stage is quite as delinquent
as the pulpit. If clergymen get sore throats,
managers shirk their duties by excuses less
genuine. For example, what good reason is
there for all the theatres being closed? Do not
the people need to be amused in warm weather?
If the sentence that in the sweat of our face we
are to eat our bread is a hard one, is it not
harder that in spite of an unprecedented amount
of perspiration we are to have no cakes and ale?
How can managers who close their theatres for
the summer be said with truth to have an eye to
business? New York has three or four first-class
theatres, besides half a dozen of tolerably good
tanding, and but one of them, Wallack's, is
open, and that presents a disgusting specimen
of the Dutch drama, by Mr. Gayler, entitled
Fritz. We beg for the real grain of the
drama and are given such miserable chaff
-as TJie Barber'Assassin; or, The Pie-Woman
of Bell Yard, at the Bowery, or miscellaneous
and negro-minstrel business at the Theatre
Comique, or a stupid burlesque upon East
Lynne at Wood's Museum. I ought indeed to
except the Grand Opera House, where Madame
Lanner is dancing with intellectual and poetic
feet. No one of culture can study her earnest
and extremely pale features without feeling
that she intensely loves her art and develops
from it all the beauty of which, in her hands, it
is capable. With this exception no theatre
which an Intelligent man or woman would want
to visit is now open in New York. As I said
before, the pulpit and the stage are equally de
serted. The footlights are permanently out,
and the dust settles on the gas-let of the clerical
reading-de&k. Extremes do meet.
Barney Wllllama Avenged.
One of Mr. Barney Williams' strong weak
nesses is his aptitude for getting into trouble on
other peoplo-'s account. He is an impulsive
man, and his impulses generally lead him to act
in accordance with right principles, though the
precise manner in which these principles mani
fest themselves may be imprudent. In private
life he is known to be a kind, tender-hearted,
charitable man. He invariably spends the sum
mer at Kathleen Villa, at Bath. From the
parlor windows the waters of Gravesend Bay
are plainly visible. Yesterday Mr. Williams
was seated at one of the windows, in company
with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Florence, when
be suddenly saw a sail-boat upset, in which were
two men. Mr. Williams devoted the next few
seconds which nine people out of ten would
spend in amazed inaction In rushing down to
the edge of his garden, which the bay washes.
A boy was fishing from a boat near the one that
bad been upset.
Mr. Williams called to him, directed his at
tention to the men who were struggling in the
water, and exhorted him to try to save them. The
boy shrugged his shoulders, made an indifferent
reply and went on with his Caning, and the two
men would have teen drowned had not a third
boat at that moment came to the rescue. Seeing
that the men were safe Mr. Williams turned to
the boy's father, Joseph Francis, who happeued
to be near, and characteristically rebuked him
fur LLu MUvelj eaiVCaei lie coarse ol tU
eon. The man made an Insolent reply and Mr.
Williams in return expressed an opinion of him
which was at once lncid and uncomplimentary.
Mr. Francis, therefore, expressed his disap
proval by seizing Mr. Williams by the throat,
destroying one of thoso beautiful and expen
sive Lord Stanley scarfs which "Toddy the Tiler"
wears, and jeopardizing the restf his aprarol
and his limbs. Mr. Williams shook off his an
tagonist, went to the nearest magistrate, and
bad Mr. Francis arrested for assault and battery.
By this time Mr. Francis knows what penalties
the law holds in reserve for wretches who lay
violent hands upon the "most popular actor in
America." Music and slow curtain.

energy for anything. Mary and Lizzie are in the

good for nothing.
Mrs. James My word for It, Mrs. Gates, jnst let
