THE DAlLr EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DBOEMBER 1, 1870. aossir Afiovt snow rxoPLE. In his social relation a performer, like many another great man or woman, ia liable to mistaken of bead and heart. It ia a pretty generally known fact, for instance, that the most famona tenor of our day is so careful of his gloves as to fly into a towering rage with any lady who touches them with more th ta her finger-tips in the most impassioned daets. And a Tery celebrated prima donna, who takes the world captive as mnoh by the ei ceeding lovelinens of hor person and manner as by her wonderful voice, is in the habit of beating her maid abominably two or three times a week. It would, indeed, be an aoute analysis which should just determine what it is in the higher walks of rumio that makes the lives of its votaries so strikingly inhar monious. He or she who has known of an operatic company wherein the four lead ing persons were on speaking teran with one another, off the stage, has known a remarkable fact in the history of that peonliar class. Of these, and of the drama tio profession proper, I would perhaps have no right to speak here, were it not for the fact that, in my time at least, there was a Bort of fraternity among all poople who ap peared before the foot-lighta. I do not know whether the members of cork-opera associate with the better clans of actors at this day, but I think they do not. I would venture to assert, however, that among the lower orders of actors, minstrels, and circus-riders, there ever will be such a spirit of BohemUnism such a touch of hearty, reckless good nature as will always make their whole world kin. Joalousy may be act down as the chief fail ing of the whole race, high or low. I have known men, whose names have mile some noise in the world, to measure with straws the comparative sizes of the letters in which they were announced on a poster. Bat among minstrels, especially, a thorough worldliness and boon companionship enable them generally to be civil to one another, whatsoever their private feelings. An old showman at last oomes to look npon the quiet ways of ordinary life with that same kind of longing, romantio interest with whioh a certain species of imaginative youth are always looking upon the impossible glory of travelling with a show. A droll sighiug far rural pursuits eeenis to be the most common form taken by the ronianoe of your veterau itinerant. Yet, oddly enough, there is ncarco any one whom he holds personally in such ridiculous contempt as he does the honest farmer. The vw whioh the old sailor in the fore caH tie is forever making to go to sea no more is rarely remembered over three days on land. And so it is with the cognate ideal which floats in the queer imagination of the old showman. I never knew but three or four who at tained anything like tho realiza tion of their romantio purpose. D.iuiol Emmet, the author of many of the best known of the earlier negro melodies, did so far reach the fleeting object of hi buoolic ambition as to have a large, well-filled chicken coop in the back yard of a rented house, in the suburbs of a great city. The ladies of the profession are sometimes given to gossip and backbiting in as great a degree at least as are the gentlemen. Jealousy may be as rife on a Mishiasippi show-boat as iu the aute chamber of any court in Europe. I have known a danseuse to furnish boys with clan destine bouquets to throw on the staie when she appeared; not that she cared at all for the praise or blame of the audience, but that she did care to crush a cleverer rival. In our company on board the Palace aud the llaymond (the famous river show-boataj we had strange contrasts in human nature. It would happen, for instance, that the in a a who could not sleep without snoring would be placed in the same state-room with the man who could not sleep within hearing of the most distant snore. The man who coull not eat pork was Boated at table just oppo site the man who doted on it. We had one gentleman tho flebhy bass singer already mentioned who spent all his leisure in catching mooking-birds; and another who passed his spare hours in contriving new and nndisooverable ways of letting these birds escape from the cages. There were on board ladies who had seen more prosperous days, when they were the chief attraotiou at the theatres of London, Paris, and New York according to their own stories; other ladies who had never associated with such vulgar people before; other ladies who hoped tney would die II tney aid not leave the oom pany at the very next landing, but never left; and yet other ladies, I am rejoiced to add, who were lovely in nature and deed kind mothers and faithful wives, whose strength of character and ready cheerfulness tended as far as possible to restore the social equal brium. In the course of the long association gro tesque friendships sprang up. The man who played the bass drum was the bosom compaa lon of the man who had charge of the ma chine for making the gas which supplied the two boats. The pretty man of the establish ment, he who played the chimes on the top of the museum and the piano in the concert room at present a popular composer at St. Louis this young gentlemen, who broke all the hearts ef the country girls that came into the show, was the inseparable friend of the pilot, a great, gruff, warm-hearted fellow, whi steered the Kaymond from the corners of Ln eyes and swore terribly at snags. The uit;i who dusted down Tarn O'Shauter and the twelve Apostles in wax, and had especUl cure of the stuffed birds, giraffes, and alligators, was on most intimate terms with the cuok. As a general thing the ladies, performers, and crew of our boats were uot so quarrel some as 1 have seen a set of cabin pieswur on a sea voyage between America aud Eii rope, or especially on the three weeks' iw sage to or from California. When I coasidur that there werefeo many of us together in tUis narrow compass for nearly a year, it sjems to me strange indeed that there was not in or bad blood excited. Mme. Oiinza was, I believe, the name of the Polish lady who walked on a tight-rope from the floor of one end of the mnoua up to the roof of the furthest gallery. This kui 1 of perilous ascension and suspemiou wt something new in trie country tneo. it wti before the time of Blondin, and Maliiuo usu to produoe a great sensation. Now it miy ba interesting to the general leader to learn tun this tight-rope waJker was one of th9 iaa exemplary, domestio little bodies lma ''nabi She and her husband had a large st ue-r u on the upper deck of the Ittvmomi, and h i was always there with herchil 1 whan rolm,l from her publio duties. One afconiujn tao curse happened to bring the chill inta t'i' museum, when Mme. Olinza was on th) r .r and out of the vast aadinoe tuatiiulo u--was recognized by its fund mot hf-r, aid u-r attention was so distracted that shd lost Im balance, dropped ber pole, aud fell. CVj'.i ing the rope with her handu, howevt-r, lnU ii. to break her fall, she escaped, fortune ly. without the least injury; but ever after th' her child was kept out of the audieia whU -pvie xrro t n !' r;e. V '''. 1 .'h i A '.'? :,:f.,tr; ly H'lij'h Jxecier.' TIIKA TRIG A L TABLE-TALK. A popular actor onoe complained that the Theatrical Fund dinners scarcely received the recognition due to them, considering the interesting events that had now and agnin taken place at these sociable and cheerful gatherings of the friends and followers or the drama. He might have a Ided that many good stories had baen told at the same meetings, told only to live in the memories of the hearers, or to be buried in the columns of newspapers un familiar to the bnlk of the reading public. It was at a Theatrical Fund dinner thtt Charles Mathews spoke of the gentleman who. upon being asked by a friend for the loan of a guinea, briskly replied: "With pleasure;" but added immediately, to his im pecunious friend's dinR!int: "Dear me, how unfortunate I I've only one lending sove reign, aud it s out 1 and Mr. JJuckstone re counted how, playing ouce to a well-filled house at Dumfries, ho was astonished at the loudly-expressed appreciation of the oacd pants of the dress-oircle, who were absolut ly uproarious in (heir laughter, and outdid the cods themselves in applauding taking every point instantaneously, aud welcoming it with noisy acclamations. Gratified ue vond measure, the comedian could not re train, irom congratulating iuo uaimne- m i T" manager upon having such an exoell jnt ruIi- ence, particularly in the boxes. "Yes," said the manager, "they did enjoy themselves amszingly. They are all mad loins. It is the svstem of the asylum doctor here to amuse his patients in every conceivable manner, and he took pretty nearly ail the sea's in tne dress circle to-night!" The same geutleman is responsible for a story of a clergyman taking a peep behind tne soenes ol tne Hay market, and after a very short survey at the surroundings exclaiming in a tone of aston ihhed disappointment, "I shall go now; I don t see anything wrong going on; I fancied there was a sort of Saturnalia here every night." It was across a Theatrical Fund dinner-table, too, that perhaps tne best story-teller in England told a tale of a cold water love-test and what came of it. An American Captain had as passenger on board Lis 6hip a very beautitul youug lady, with whom, in tho course of a very short voyage, nve young gentlemen, also passengers, fell desperately in love. She, liking all the young gentle men, and liking them all equally well, felt herself placed in a position of Homo diffi culty, and in the emergency applied to the captain for advice. He, being a man of an original turn of mind, suggested that she should jump overboard (he taking care to have a well-manned bo it alongside to pre vent the possibility of tho farce tnruiog into a tragedy ), and that sho should accept the man who jumped into the sea after her. The lady liked the notion, and one line mornin", when her nve admirers were all upon deck, went over the side head-foremost. Four of the five immediately followed her lead. Then said the puzzled damsel to tho captain: "What am I to do nowf bee how wet they all are!" "Do?" replied the captain; "why take the dry one!" Whioh she did; and, it is to be hoped, lived happy ever afterward. The relator of this story of the deep has had the rare fortune to obtiin popularity in oher lands beside his own, to v hich a Lord Mayor bore the following testimony: "I recollect being iu Hamburg some thirty years ago, upon a commercial err.tnd, when, meeting with a gentleman with whom I bad some very large traductions, he invited me to breakfast with him. 1 went. We passed a pleas mt hour, find then he proposed a walk. We walked; he seemed htraugely restless, and I found I could get him to do anything but attend to business. At last he said: 'My dear friend, yon must excuse me; this is the day on which the fifth number of a work by your countrymen Boz comes to lla'ctmirg, and until 1 get it and read it 1 can neither talk of busaness nor env'Xing else. It was at a Theatrical Fund dinner held at Edinburgh that SirWaltor Soott male a clean breast of it, and confessed himself the author of "Waverley a circumstance still reinem- bered with pride by those connected with the stage; and which might have gratified eveu that hater of the "Waverley Novels," the author of "Crotchet Castle, sinoe he must have owned that the time and place were well fitted for the disclosure of the authorship of what he called the "pantomime of literature." Chambers Journal. LIFE IN A CniMNEY. from a Newfoundland Correspondent. rernaps in no other country, not even in tne Ireland of to-day, could you nnd so many instances of people living in extreme pover ty, amid wretched surroundings, as in this island. In one of the flailing village, a Bliort distance from St. Johns, the name of which is Pouch Cove, I met lately with a singular illuhtration of this extreme of human wretch edness. Here I was informed of a family that for two years had been living literally in a chimney. At onoe I proceeded to "inter view this primitive household, and fouud the story quite correct. A ohimuey built of rouh Btones, in tbe rudest style of architecture, perved to show where onoe a e ttage had Leen. The owner, aa the readiest uiennt of ejecting the tenant, who had fallen into poverty and failed to pay the rent, adopted - the method of some Irish landlords, and pulled down the wooden cottage, leaving the chimneys standing. The tenants were not to be got rid of so cheaply: like ghosts who haunt old ruins, and will not be driven away, they took refuge in the chimney. This was a wide, open one of con siderable dimensions, tmeh as may be seen Bull in some primitive spots, with the heirth- Htone as fireplace. Fearing, perhaps, that if tney eneoieci any iinus-eveiunt on th.ir strange domicile a demand would be made for rent, and that, m caso i f eviction, no allowance wouia oe made ior suou "im provement," tenant right not beiug reo i- nized here, they contented themselves with piling np some loose stouen, leaving a sn ail opening covered witn an old tag, which nerved an a door. Here they p lived th first winter, hating little cluthing, as niiv be uppohed, and but ncuty Huj.phts of tood. flow tuey mauaaeci to exist U i ideod a mys tery, but tbey took iio Laim, nud enjoyed perfect health.
