Actors’Salntips*
The New York. Thins, treating of Miss
Cushman’s recent performancejat tlio ’Winter
Garden,, (a thoatro I) in MWibrk, says," In
tho eight weeks, sho realized within »; low
hundred of $lO,OOO, making her income; if
measured in tho same proportion, more than
double that' of the Prosidont of the United
States. Mr. Forrest gets oven, a shade still
better terms, and even many" stock actors re
ceive a steady yearly Income higher, than
that of bur, Secretaries of Stile. Ati*. Brough-
4th rtcoived last season, at Wallack’s, sl7o
a week, besides benefits and allowftticofor his
pieces; Mr. Lester W'alkck receivos $125 a
week i Mr. Blake, $115; and W. Walcot $lOO.
At tlio •Winter Garden and Nlblo’s, Messrs.
Oouldock and Dyott received $7O and |s6o,
and Messrs, Conway and Fisher $7O and, SGO
respectively a wock. At Miss Keono’s,’ this
season, thore are no high salaries, blit, at the
opening of the last, sho paid Mr. Jordan
$lOO. Last season, too, Mrs. John Wood and
Mr. Jeil'erson rocoivod each $l6O a week, un
der the management of Mr. Stuart. Nelthor
Garrick, nor Betterton, nor Mqnden, 1 nor
Dowton, received one half tliis snm itt their
best days. Mo wonder, With such increasing
salary of artists, and diminution in this pried
of admission, that managers, now-a-days,
nover realize the same snmsns of old. Tho
days of managers have gone by, and those of
aotors, scene-painters, and' carpenters, have
succeeded.”:!", :
The fact is, aotors and actresses are now
bettor paid than any other persona—popular
clergymen excepted. When, as in the, cats of.
Mr. H. W.'Boechof and Df. Chapin, the Well*
paid popular preacher aisb i 3 tho weil-paid
popular lecturer, his income exceeds that of
the President of the United States. Mr. J.
B. Gough, the Temperance Lecturer, whoso
dramatic powers entitle him to he ranked as a
great actor, is said to rccoivo abouts2so for
each of his performances. Say. that ho per
forms, on tho platform, only twico a week, his
income must atnount to some $26,000 a year.
Theatrical performers of acknowledged
ability receive large salaries, and. nobody, can
blame them for accepting such ample remu
neration. If Miss Cußhman can obtain,; be-'
cause it remunerates a manager, as much as
$lO,OOO in eight weeks—which is even mote
thah Mr,.Gough,receives for his performances,
—and if Mt. Forrest more,! they
are quite right in taking It. Itmust be id-,
mitted, though Miss Cushman chiefly resides in
Europe, that Mr. Forrest do'os not spend his
incomo in any foreign land, but dispenses a
large portion of it in tho pnrehaso of books
and tho encouragement of niiUve art. But,
apart ftom single examples, the reiioclion
Which forces itsolf upon the mind is—how 1 In*
ctattve the dramatic profession is, compared
with others ?
At tho , regular theatres, middling j or
“slock” performers 'receive from .slo' to
$25 per week. Pat these performers into
any other business, ami see they., oonW
earn half this compensation.. The botierr
class performers obtain larger of
course, bnt not dlsproportfonably so, consi
dering that, for tho most part, these Shav4 to
And their ot?n wardrobes* If*;, Slio'rpeH’B
dress as Hamlet, a part which” wc should fflfo
to see him oftener in, cannot have cost him loss
than $125. It is .even morQ costly to loading
actresses: we hayc soon Mrs. lirow. and Mrs;
Cowell respectively wear dresses* at -Arch*
street and •'Walnut-street theatres, which' con
not have cost loss than SMO a-plec«i.. -
/ Oiio
wrotchodly paid* Back ballet-girl get?
$8 por week, and finds her own dresses f
Tho manager of Wallaces theatre finds It
his interest, no doubt, to pay $125 a week, to.
Mr, Lester Ijpjllack anil $125 to ‘Mr. Blake,
ekcolJeht 1 poHohnets each. &ut take the
highest weekly salary paid to any .Newspaper
editor—-$6O a woek is said to bo tho salary of
Mr* i>sb& of the Tribune — and it is only one
half of that paid to Mr. Lester Wallack, who
probably clears an extra $l,OOO a y oar hy two
benefits, Mr. Blako’e $ll6 a week, to say
nothing of HU benefits, also, is exactly what
the editor of tho London Times receives.
Contrast tho mental labor of editor and actor,
and judgo how the former is underpaid, as
compared with tho light work of tho popular
performor. There aro not over three news
paper editors in tho Union who tgcqlyq $6O a
week—ono half of Mr. Lester Wallaces easi
ly-obtained incomo. How fow obtain oven $4O
a week; how many hundreds of hard-working,
talented, and every way respectable editor*
and reporters in America do not earn more
than from $lO to $2O a week. Jlow many
clergymen, lawyers, and medical men—all of
whom must be fully educated before they tajio
ttp those professions, to outer which costs
about $2,000 Jo eaoh man for education—ac
tually aro now receiving under $2O a week,
boing less than is paid to very middling theatri
cal performers.
One advantage, however, is that actors and
actresses—except Ihe wandering “ stars” who
occasionally visit us from England, and aro
becoming fewer every year, thanks to the de
cided improvement exhibited by our native
.and resident performers—^wo say that actors
and actresses spend their incomes, if unnatu
rally high, where thoy receive them. The
foreign “star,” on tho contrary, spends as lit
tlo of his American receipts as possible, We
have often wondered why ho consents to bo
saddled with tho class called “ agents,” for
whom thoro soldom Is any need, excopt when
tho “star,” as in Blondln’s case,does not un
derstand our language well enough for bu
siness. But tho resident performers spend
their money where thoy make it. Tho fo
reigner, who pays us a flying visit, takes most
of Ws receipts away ftom this country, to
spend in his own.
If this bo truo of «star” actors and ac
tresses, how utucU truet of tho wandering
comets who condescend to warble and dance
into onr pursos—tho Plccolominis,and Gazza
nigas, and Fanny EJlslcrs of tho opera-house.
Ono may fcol angry, in tho course of his
dally work-in tho pulpit, at tho bar, by tho
bodsido, with tho poneil, or with tho pen—
when he loams that I’iccolomlnl, in a few
months hero, cloared $lOO,OOO, notwithstand
ing her ■ want of voico, bydlnfcof enormous
puffing, and took it away to spond in Italy;
that Gazzanlga is reported to have clearod
$40,000 in three years, which sho will dispose
of in like marmor; that a eantatrico is paid
$4,000 for flinging on somo twolvo to llffoon
ovonlngs in a month, and that & good tcnoT,
who is popnlar, may stand out for $3,000 for
liko florviccs i Those Italian flingors, who ro
colvo such princoly incomes, take tho gcoatcr
part of them home—thoy voalizo largo for
tunes, which they romovo out of tho cnrroncy
of tho country.
It Is no wondor that theatrical anil operatic
managers liavo rarely succeeded, In lato years,
In milking monoy. Mr. Wallnrlc laid done It
In New York, ami so Ims Mr. Wheatley In this
city, blit theso gontlemon nro highly acconi
pllshfld artists, and also good bnslnoss-mon,
who have lmd long oxporlonco as theatrical
lessOos, and know, much bettor than their
stago-managers, how ovory piece Bhould bo
cast bo as to bring out tlio talent of each per
lormor In It. Thoy are liberal, too, whon tho
occasion demands it, and tills pays In tho ond.
Should Mrs. Bowors succeed in building her
thoatre—thoro has long boon an immenso pile
of bricks, apparently destined to raise It, cum
bering the highway in Chestnut street, which
Bhould bo used up or removed—she may ho
assured, what she probably knows very well
already, that judicious liberality in manage
ment Is iar moro remunerative than that nig
gardly economy which realizes the old ndage
of losing a cheep for a ha’porth of tar. By tho
way, this new theatre in to bo built upon a
plan more extensive than originally contem
plated, and the accession of additional stock
holders, to raise mor» capital, is invited.
Theao tu'c not oxactly llto Union io part ivltli

not carry out her Idea of having a thontro In
Chestnut fltrnot, mi to nro wo that mioli mi (iii-
Hortaitlng Would snoricod ulldor good Inanagb
inont. If sirs. Bowels can organizo tiils pvo
l'orly, her theatre mnit succeed 1 Its locality
is halftlio lrnttlo gained.
Tho natural tehllorfcy o' a new theatre In
Chestnut stvcct, creating a demand ,<or!pct'-
formors, would bo to advance salarios. Strange
as It may appoar, the,number of flrat-clasa per
formers In any country Is very limited. - ,
The l/nloii Spirit in North Carolina.
Tho last number of tho Raleigh Standard
for many years the able exponent of fho, De
mocratic party ot North t Carolina, contains
sovorfti articles in which tho editor anhoimbcS
his determination to resist tho Diminionists
to tho death. Ills conservative and fearless
condupt lost him the position of State printer,
btriho dofiua ills enemies with equal eloquence
apd spirit. Tho following extracts will bo
read w ith interest as showing that North Caro
lina is not yot ready to follow the misguided
mop who control South Carolina, and who
have obtained temporary possession of tho
party organization in her sister State:
af Tho p&blio tfrintm* has been executed for

tahied in order to secure a re-election, but we
frankly told every oue with whom wo conversed
on ,tho .Bubjeot, that wo were for a Constitutional
Union, tand opposed to disunion and civil war.
were defeated mainly 'because of bur devotion
to .a\Co7ietttutional Umonr Tho.defeat of so
hamwe f a ! periwn as ourself is a matter otno mo
ment in.itself, except as it-may indicate t the
<jonrse which pubho fakfng in this
BWmiutous oriels'' A tfare ‘ majority 7of : the
pany 1 has solemnly deeiiircd, 1 by this not ,of
proscription towards us, that no man is to be
rtacgntye4 ob a truft Democrat or friend of his
country,, who is opposed to disunion at this time
and for present causes. Wo are but tho humble
victim*! this sweeping declaration. We denounce
thoDithnlohists, and we appeal to the’people
against' th&n.’ -~We appeal 'from the secret ballot
totheojpen and spoken word. We tell the Demo
cracy of North Carolina, whom wo have served so
long and bo faithfully, that we have nover bolted a
Conveption nor refused to support a nominee. Wo
are as loyal now as we over wore; but we should
be a faitkloss sentinel on the watohtower if wo
failed-to warn them, and’the good people of this
Slate, that tho control of the party has been
usurped by ambitions and designing men, who,
if -not checked in their oqurse, will commit this

“ Wo understand Gov. Rlti« as ompbatlcally ad
vising tho people ol this State to resist tho tnau
gyration of Mr. Lincoln. Jfo says: *lt 2s true
'Abrahwn Lincoln H elected President according
to the forms of tbo Constitution ; it is equally true
that George the Third wo# the rightful occupant
of the British throne ,* yet, our fathers submitted
pal to his authority.'' Thai Is, otsr father# resist
ed Gborgo the’Tbird, and wo should resist Abrri
ham Lincoln. Wo should resist him without try
ing hitt ; wo should Icnp violently into tho untried
Boones of anarchy and revolution, simply because
a bad man has boon chosen Biosident according to
the forms of tho Constitution. Bat wo deny that
George the Third was tho 1 rightful occupant of
tho British throne.* Our fathers fought, not only
against George the Third, but against tho doctrine
of tho divine right of kings. Every eohoolhoy
knows this to bo so ; yet, Gov. Ellis tells us that
George the Third ‘ was tho rightful occupant of
tho British throne !*
“Thcro aro various otbor points in this disunion
document which wo will notice hoioaftor. Mean
time, wo reproduoo the language used by us on
this subject in our Issuoef tbo 17th blatant, and an
nounco U as our purpose to stand immovably on
tho ground thou occupied. In tbo Standard of
tho 17th wo said:
“ ‘ Tho banner of tho t Jprs and stripes, now so bit
terly donouncod in Charleston, never waved but
for tho protection of South Carolina. Hundreds of
her son# have died bonoath iU glorious folds on
foreign battlo-ficlds. It la truo, tho election of
Lincoln by a strictly geographical vote is a groat
oolamity. If tboto who elected him shall attempt
to carry out their peculiar views with referenco to
tho South, every Southern State will at onoe unite
and mako common obubo against a commou enemy.
Let us, thou, watch and wait. Mr. Lincoln will
either break up the Union by attempted aggres
sions ou tbo South, or be will break up his party by
refusing to attempt aggressions. We say attempted
aggressions, for aotusl aggressions ho will nover bo
permitted to m&ko. Wo are for tbo Union as long
as it oan bo maintained with safoty and honor. If
wo bolioved that the honor of the South had been
touohod, or that tho slavoboldiug States were not
safe in tho Union, we would strike for dissolution
without stopping for a momont to oountthc cost.’
“ Here, thon, we stand. Wo denounce and defy
the Dieunionists, and wo will mako war upon them
until the people of this State, of all parties, shall
rise In their might and toaoh them, and teach all
professional and designing politicians, that their
property, thoir fortunes, thoir lives, and tho in
tegrity of the Federal Constitution shall not be
eubjeoted to the oontrol of demagogues lusting for
power and for new placos in a Southern Union.
Our reliance is on the people. If they will stand
by us in this struggle, os wo believo they will, we
shall fear no conscqnenoos ”

One Session in our Public Schools.
’ This, question is by no moans finally ectUed.‘ It
kill bo agitated by the people, uutil tho reform is
carried. * ’ j -
The views of Colonel Leech on this subject] d‘e-‘
serve to be generally read; Certainly all t the.
teachers in tho land will thank hlm'for his frac
and toooking acknowledgment of the value of their
sorvioea:
Col. Leooh advocated one session with earnest
ness and ability. Be said he had made the subject
of education a careful study for a period of ten or
fifteen years. All onr private aohoola owed thoir
popularity and aaooeM, In part, to this system! ,Tt
is more humane; more rational, and better for'the
pupil. - Our fchuroh-yatda and cemeteries are filled
with little graves, and to what must wo attribute
this fatality ? Ask the enlightened physician, land
he will toll yon too long confinement in the pesti
lent atmosphere of our tlnventilated school-rooms.
If a law oonld be passed against infant schools, we
should shortly see £rowi»g up around us a more
healthy and longer-lived population. This view is
sustained by the solentifio men of the most en
lightened countries of the world. Prance; Eng
land, Germany, Prussia, and Amerioa, sustained
him in this assertion. Col. Leech said ho was : one
of a committoe of twenty, who had visited, in May
last, tho schools of New York and Boston. While
attending to this duty he had seen enough to Con
vince him that we could learn much from otif neigh
bors. In achool structures we were a-quarter bf a
century behind them, and in many ossontial mat
ters appertaining to education we were equally de
ficient. Whllo Now York and Boston - wotO eaoh
voting $lO,OOO a year for pianos and instruction in
vocal music, oar City Councils wore meanly with
holding all appropriation. And so with a half do
ten matters of nearly equal importance. Whilo
more enlightened ottlcs were forbidding alYstudy
out of school, we wore for cramming our children
into their graves, barely roform is needed in ,this
matter. Ask Professors Maguire and Cxegar, and
they will tell you that we orem too muon; they
will tell you that, many a fine !&d, many a bright
girl has found aif early grave, owing to sevore'and
Fong-continued pressure upon the brain.' Col.
Lceoh said, with groat feeling and impressiveness,
that, as at preeentconduotod,he was not surowhe
ther our schools are not a ourso, rather than a
blessing. Look at it! A child is born unto'os;
wo maintain it for fifteen or eighteen years. We
do our host to rear it to a useful maturity, when,
just as wo think we are about to be repaid for all
onr care and anxiety and love and expense,'tbo
ohild is enatohed away, and borne to tho silent
tomb. And this is tho result of our errono
ous system of education. Better-far better—
lot your children run wild in the street#,
taking the risk of contamination from their
dally surroundings. But, to oome back to the vi
sit to the New York and Boston schools :Jn almost
everything, but particularly in all that relafes
to coEDinwvsenße physical development, the" New
Yorkers are for ahead of ns. Col. Leech wquld
liko to send those directors who had instructed
thoir controllers to New York, that thoy might
hear, and see, and Judge for themselves. Surely
those men are best qualified to legislate for the
highest interests of education, and for tho moral,
intellectual, and physiool well-being of tho chil
dren who have made the subject a lifo-loogstudy•
Aro school direotors, whohaTo been inlooalboards
for only fivo or six months, competent to instruct a
controller who has given this subject his serious
attention? Perhaps some of these direotors, have
not visited a school a half a dozer, times in tho
wholo course of their lives! What do saoh' men
know of the wants of scholars ? Nothing—lite
rally nothing. Bat wo are told that too one
session movement we? sot afoot by the teachers,' and
they were to reap the bonefits of it! Shall we ro :
fuse our okildion a kindness, a muoh*needod re
laxation, a life-preserving measure, because tho
poor teaoher is to be benefited thereby? God forbid
And hero, said Col. Leeob, letmepayn passing tri
bute to that patient, hopeful, eolf-eaorifioing, digni
fied, noble band, composed of the teachefa of
our city, State, and country. Truly, a noble baud !
How great the trust confided to them—how .mo*
meDtons for good or for evil! And yet, how
poorly aro they requited. If we considor their labors
to reach the necessary grade of qualification, their
laborious saorifioos after they becomo teachers,
their low opportunities of reward, the trials of pa
tience they undergo from stupid committees 'and
ignorant parent#—if we consider these things we
shall then begin to appreciate a profession -which
deserves to rankwitu the highest, the purest and
tho bo3t known amoDg men. I will not, oontinued
Col. Leeeh. enlarge npon the advantages of one
session. The moesura has been advocated with
ability and candor in this board. It is not neces
sary that I should recapitulate tho arguments in
favor of it. The ablest newspapers in the city
have supported tbo measure, and the newspapers
which hnvo opposed it havo always boon found ar
rayed against reform, They opposed the destruc
tion of themarket sheds, the laying of oity tail
ways, tho introduction of steam fire-engines, etc.
Of course, then, they will continue to oppose all
other reforms. This is all right if thoy aro sinooro,
and I shnll not quostion thoir sincerity; but it
certainly looks as if they were governed by .mo
tives o£ self-interest, a desiro to sell their papers,
by opposing a salutary and popular measure.
In the long run, howevor, Truth will tri
umph to 'the confusion of her enomios.
Col. Lee«h hoped that this mattor of ono
session would bo taken up by tho people next
spring, in whioh caeo he felt sure that every one
who did not doolnre himself for it would be eleoted
to stay at home, the only fit place for any man po
fatally obtußO to the best interests of popular edu
cation. It is well known that in every section
whore an expression of opinion had been called for
nine out of ton had committed themselves in favor
of it. Some directors had declared that they did
not care for suoh expressions of opinion on the part
of the people; hut I beg to inform these gentlemen
that the people are tho source of all power, and
their wishes must bo respeotod and oboved. Tbo
measure may fail to-day, through the blind stub
bornness of certain direotors, but another year will
show more auspicious results, results more nearly
allied to the wishes and genius of our people.

sketohes the future lady of the White House:
Doubtless your lady readers would like to know
something of the future mistress of the White
House. Mza. Lincoln called in the afternoon to see
the portrait that Mr. Healey had just finished.
She is of medium size, slightly inolined to embon
point y and is still oh the sunny side of forty: Her
laco is oval, and is as remarkable for its regular
rounded catlines as her husband’s is for angulari
ties. This, with soft eyes, dark hair, fair com
plexion, small features and month, make'as agree
able a companion as any one desires to see. She
has a good, motherly look, a low, soft voice, and
appears to be just suoh a woman as one woold rely
on for sympathy and support. Her carriage and
gestures aro graceful, her manners winning, and
her addross easy and dignified. It was plain to ail
present that it would be no difficult task for her to
preside over the courtesies of ttye White House,
and that she will adorn the station. Of. course
your lady readers desire to know how. she was
dressed. If “Jenkins” will pardon the inva
sion of his province, I will undertake, Horn
a very limited ■knowledge of materials, millinery
and znantuamaklng, to describe what Mrs.
Lincoln woro. Her dross was a ,brown or oafes
colored silk, with grayish flowers and leayes.
It was ioado foil with ftooncos, 'fitted well, hong
graccfolly about her person, and trailed, but just
a triflo. Her bonnet was of blaek Bilk, trimmed
with cherry ribbon, which with a dark mixed
shawl, neat-fitting gloves, and a rioh lavonder
ooloicd parasol, completed her costumo. Mrs.
Linooln examined the portrait with close atten
tion, said it was tbo best sho had seen, but remark
ed that it gave Mr Lincoln a gravor expression
than ho usually wore. The artm.explalnod that
ho hud frequently observed, at least he thought
ho had, that very expression on Mr. Lincoln as ho
had eat boforo him. After auother study of the
pletaio, Mrs. Linooln now thanked the artist for
having delayed his departure in order to afford
her an opportunity to examino the. portrait, and
with ft gcnoral and graceful obeisance to tho com
pany present, she quiotly walked away, followed
by hor two chubby, roay-faoed, bright-eyed boys,
Hill, aged about oloven, and Tom, otherwise
called “Tats,” or “Tatsoy,” agod about five
years. Bob, tho “ Princo of Hails,” is decorously
pursuing his studies at Harvard University. This
fa all of tho Linooln family—the President-elect,
bis lady, and their throe boys.
Times in Savannah.—TFo have seen a let
ter, says the Macon Telegraph, from the president
of one of tbo Savannah basks. Ho states business
there is in a condition of entire paralysis. It is
impossible to sell exchange upon any point, and
cotton buyers havo been compelled to meet their
liabilities by surrendering their bills of lading—
substantially returning tho cotton. He suggests
tho idea of advertising for consignments of cotton
to Liverpool from planters, and shipping tfiem
with orders for supplies in part payment, nndthe
remainder in specie.
Diptiieria.—Steubenville, Ohio, • and vici
nity hotfo Eufloied lorribly from the ravages of
diptberift. Tho Herald tays : u Tho disease had
attuoked both old and young, but has prevailed
most generally among children, among whom it
has been most fatal. The number of deaths from
the dipthoria in this oity from tho Ist of January,
1860, up to the present time, among children alone,
is not far short of two hundred. Tho deaths among
adults have been, probably, opo fourth of that
number. Many families havo been mado desolate
from the vitulenco ot this disease.”
Trade of Norfolk.—The annual report of
the Norfolk (Ya.) Merchants’ Exchange shows
that for the year ending the 30tb of June last; the
receipts of produoe at th&tcity, reached $4,174,354,
of which $1,500,000 was in cotton. A merchant ot
Memphis, Term., has recently visited Norfolk to.
negotiate for the transmission of twenty-five thou
sand bales of ootton from Memphis' to that city on
his own acoouut.
It is said that the sounds, inlets, Days, and
rivers of eastern North Carolina are alive with
duoks, geeso, and swan, particularly goose and
awan. It is assorted by those who j have passed
their lives among the wild-fowl- hunters of North
Carolina, that so many swan were never seen in
one reason boforo. '
A mulatto alavo girl, belonging to Count
Villa Nuiva, in Cuba, commuted eulolde lately, to
avoid punishment, for having, as wnsalloged, aided,
her young mUtrcfis, thO'Cbunt’s' daughter, in alove
affair to which her parents were opposed. '
