THE TI1EATRES AM UoW THEV M E.
Io you know what it costs Xew
York to amuse itself? There are in
the city over sixty places of amaze
ment that are counted legitimate.
There are, of course, a great many
more thai that, but the cixty I am
sjteaking of are, most of them, decent
mav co with their husbands ,nd
Livers. The five principal ones are

The regular company consists of

enormous pay. For instance, in the
recent production of Julius C;e.-ar, at
Booth's Theatre, Mr. Barrett, the
Cassius, received $1,000 per week:
Baugs, as Mark Antony, $400 ; dav
enport, the Brutus, $700; and Levick,
the C 0. Besides these,
there are more than a do.en fi rst
ctass people in the piece, and none of
w horn drew drew Jess than $2(1 per
week. But this was a very light
part of the expense of producing tbe
tragedy. Over six hundred men
none of them less than six feet in
LcigLt, were employed to represent
Itnnian soldiers, at an expense of 75
cents per night. The scenery, and
necessary machinery to make the
pageant, cos.t tbe management not
less than $00,000, and all of this ex
penditure before a single dollar could
le realized. Still with all this ex
pense the piece made money in. New
York, and is making a great deal of
money in the country. The theatre
seats about three thousand people,
and as the cheapest seats are $1,50,
and from that to $2,50, it is not diffi
cult to see w here the money comes
from, if the house is Clled each night.
And there are so many strangers in
New Vork, aside from the resident
population, it was filled every night
ouriDg its run.
The great actors, in the legitimate
drama, make a great deal of money.
I'd win Booth never plays except for
half the gross receipts of the theatre,
and the manager inut.t guarantee that
Kbare to l no less than $500 per
night. Charlotte Cnshman got even
higher terms, and such people s

others do as well, at is every actor'6

one of them, from the lowest all the

the best actor in the world, if he
could only get the people to recog
nize him. 1 never knew one of them
who did not believe that Edwin
Booth attained his position by sheer
luck, and w ho would like to get a
chance to play Hamlet beside him.
But with all this they are a harmless,
innocent, pleasant class of people,
who have their nses in the world, and
wl o EU their places as well as other
people do.
There are a score of pretty little
theatres in various parts of the town,
that are respectable, and several that

waiter girl establishments, w bich are
as bad as they can be, only one ol
tbem being even safe. Harry Hill's
place, on Houston street, has been

uuiuriuus ior a aor.en or more years,
and it is a curiosity. The regular
patrons of tbe place are of course
sporting men and strangers wbo
want to see. Hill gives a variety
peno-mance, consisting of sinirin
dancing, etc.. by male and female per-
lormera, athletic exercises, and box
ing and wrestling matches. But
however rough the audience, and
however uncouth they may be in
their demonstrations, no bad conduct
is tolerated. Hill is a brawnr man
of 50, who was for years a prize fight
er in .ngiana. ana he can vet "ret
away," as be says with almost anr of
tbe roughs. If a man comes in
uiuuk, uu IB DOlgV, lllil wbo is
walking about among the tables at
which tbe audience is seated, merely
requests Lira to "dry up." If tbe
man is wise he wrll "dry op" for if

Negro minstrels, as a rule, get from
$15 to 1 25 per week, except a yery

but these are rerj rare. Acrobatt,
rope-walkers, Indi.rubber men, com

of performer, are glad to get $15
per week, and $20 is to them a gorg

and it might as well be faced, the

It is possible that some one who
reads the title of this article, says the
.Vic Eit'jland Journal of Education,
may bnd bimseir guilty ot railing to
pronounce the ci and eb in shun. I
find that my lady friend, wbo is very
precise in her language, will persist
in accenting "etiquette" on the first
instead of the last sylable. My good
minister, wbo bad tbe greatest aver
sion to anything wrong, was greatly
surprised when I mildly suggested to
him that "aspirant" should be accen
ted on tbe penult, while my musical
niece mortified me the other day by
pronouncing "finale" in two syllables.
beard tnv geological friend ex
plaining the "subsidences" of the
earth's crust, but he should have ac
cented the second instead of tbe first
syllable. Tbe same mistake happen
ed the other dav to my friend, the
President of the reform society, a ho
spoke of the "vagaries" of certain
people bv accenting the first instead
of the second syllable. He also an
nounced tbat I would deliver an "ad
dress" that evening, but I knew it
was not polite to tell bun to accent
the last syllable My boy says he
left school at "recess," accenting the
first svllable, and be was loth to be
lieve tbat, whatever was the meaning
of the word, it should be accented on
tbe final syllable. Then my friend,
the President of the debating club.
who is a great student of "Cusbing's
Manual," tells us tbat a motion to
adjourn takes tbe "precedence," by
accenting tbe first instead of tbe sec
ond syllable. My other lady friend
says tbat she lives in a bouse having
a "cupelow." She should consult
the dictiouary for tbat word. But I
will close by remarking tbat my legal
friend, who is very scholarly, always
accents "coadjutor" on the second in
stead of the third, where it rightly
belongs.
Pear Cwlf r.
At tbe last meeting of tbe West
ern New York Fruit Growers' Asso
ciation it wes rtated that one or
eoara oi t.vwi awari pear trees ex
isted in the vicinity, all in perfect
health tbat among tbe aorta tbat
had generally donebe6t were Bartlett,
Mannnigs hlizabetb, Duchess d An
gouleme, Lawrence, Seckle, and Ear
ly Catharine. These varieties, prob
ably, are all rood for any section of
tbe country. Puehess, as it is usual
ly called, is tbe best late pear that ex
ists, bat it is rather too late for our
extreme northern States. It is of im
mense size and very delicious. No
one can mane a mistake in growing
Isartletts, tbe best variety for all cli
mates that is known; but it does
best as a standard. The most pro
uuctive dwarf variety was said, at
the above meeting, to be the Louise
Bonne de Jersey, which is trne.
Owing to the hundreds of choice va
rieties of pears that exist, one is lia
ble to be confused, and not know
which to purchase, bat it is best to
grow but a few kinds, hormildch
mates, the three best are Puehess,
Louise Bonne de Jersey, (as dwarfs)
and the Bartlett as a standard; and
in the northern States irerely tnbsti
ttite Flemish Beauty for Duchess.

During the winter of 18G1-C2 the
army lay before Centreville, doing
very little but scooting, picketing and
preparing for the spring campaign.
Though there was nothing exciting
in all this, it was very trying to the
men, for the season was severe and
tbe hospitals were well filled.
One morning Hill came to my quar
ters.
"Well, Hill," said I as he entered,
"what can I do for you thjs morn
ing?" "I wish to go on tbe sick list, if
you please, sir," be replied in a quiet
tone
I started, and looked at him search
ingly. Though I had seen tbe young
soldier often, I had never been in bis
. m m-w 11.
presence before. lie was a sngm,
finely formed fellow, with tbe most
efftminate face I ever saw. Had be
been a woman, 1 should have called
him a beauty; and as it was, I could
not deny bim the distinction of being
pretty. His voice was soft, and
though it did not seem to be tbat of a
man, was hardly that of a woman.
I gazed at him searchingly, but be
bore my scrutiny well.
"You are not sick, I hope?" I re
marked at length.
' I am broken down, doctor," be
answered. "I have been on guard
for five successive nighu." j
"TLe deuce you havo !" I exclaim j
ed in astonishment. "The regiment
isn't so short of men as that, is it
"No. sir." he replied riuickly. "I
was kept on by the colonel's orders, j
ne says the guard duty is very im-l
portant just now, and he wants the
best men in tbe regiment to be put on
it." .
"Has be kept any one else on so
long ?" I questioned.
"No. sir, I wonld not have come
to yon to-day, but tbat I know I am
incapable ot standing anotber nigbt
I should fall asleep on post from sheer
exhaustion. Then I suppose I would
be shot for sleeping in tbe presence
of the enemy." ,
"By Jove!" I muttered, "that s
what Col. Anson is up to."
I spoke loader than I intended. He
beard me, and replied in a tone in
bich there was some bitterness, in
spite of his efforts to repress it,
I am afraid so, fir. 1 do not see
why Col. Anson should dislike me
so much. 1 have never merited bis
displeasure. Heaven knows," be
added, and I saw his features trem
ble as with pain, "I would die to
serve bim."
"Yery good," I said. "You can
remain at yaur quarters for two days, ;
and consider yourself on tbe sick list
for tbat time."
Thanking rae, be went away.
Tbe fellow perplexed roe. I was
confident there was some mystery be
tween bim and the colonel, and
known only to these two. While I
was musing the colonel sent- for me.
He received me with cold politeness.
"What is tbe matter with Jlillr"
he asked.
He is broken down by the unusu
al fatigue to which be has been sub
jected. Five successive turns of
guard duty would kill a much strong
er man than he is."
"Wbo has kept him on so long ?"
asked tbe colonel, biting bis lip.
He was kept on by your orders, I
believe, sir," I replied ; "and I mngt
say, colonel, that I am surprised at
your putting bim to such a test, un
less you wish to kill bim."
Colonel AnBon started, and looked
at me very searchingly.
'Has Hill dared to reflect npon tbe
condnct of bis commanding officer?"
be asked coldly, but without meeting
my eye.
"He said im More than every one
in the regiment bas," I replied "that
he regretted having gained your dis
like as be was sure be bad done noth
ing to merit it."
"Was tbat all be said, doctor r"
ne added." I replied, after hesi
tating a moment, "t'-at be would
gladly die to Berve you."
An expression of intense pain
swept over Col. Anson's face ; but he
was silent After a brief pause, be
said quietly: "I will not detain you
longer, doctor. I am sorry to bear of
Hill's sickness."
I was more perplexed when I left
the room than I was when I entered
it; and during the long winter I bad
no meaos of gratifying my curiosity.
Indeed it was intensified by tbe fact
tbat at tbe express request of Col.
Anson, the President promoted njll
to a vacant lieutenancy in bis com
pany. At last we went to the Peninsula,
and ere long my regiment was called
on to participate in tbe desperate bat
tle of Fair Oaks. Tbe engagement
bronght me work enough, for my
regiment suffered terrible. As hard
ened as I bad become, I grew sick
over the dreadful work that gave me
neither rest nor hope of rest. Tbe
little field hospital which I bad es
tablished seemed to me a perfect
slaughter house, and I longed more
eagerly than I bad ever done for a
cessation of the fighting. It came at
last, a little after ten o'clock on Sun
day morning.
I bad cleared oat my hospital, and
had sent my Nst man across the
Chickabominy. My assistants were
absent and I was tbe only person in
tbe little structure of boughs. Sud
denly I was aroused from a reverie
into which I had fallen, by tbe hur
ried entrance of some one. I looked
npand saw Col. Anson standing be
fore roe. lie was pale and exhausted,
and was bleeding from a deep cat in
tbe bead. He held in bis arms tbe
inanimate iortn of Lieutenant Hill.
I never saw so much grief in a hu
man face as I saw written on that of
Col. Anson as be laid his burden on
the rude table.
"Be quick, doctor, for Heaven's
sake 1" be said, painfully. ' 1
''Bat you are wounded, Colonel !"
I exclaimed, when my astonishment
woald let me speak.
"Neyer mind me,r was the
quick I ,
retort. "Attend to this one." ?
- Hill was wounded in tbe breast,
and I saw at once tbat it was a dan
gerous and a doubtful case. I bent
down to loosen bis coat and examine
tbe injury. I could do no good. The
aim had been trne, and the ball had
gone right through the heart This
was not my only discovery. I bad
learned a part of the mystery.
"Heaven's, Colonel !" I exclaimed,
lookine up at him. "This it a wo-"

"The onlv one that ever loved me,"
Igroaned the colonel. "She followed
' me bere in male disguise, and this
morning when I was in danger, saved
me, wbo has done nothing but wrong
' her, at the cost of her own. She was
' my wife, doctor."

HOW AS 1RUEVEREXT SAI.OOS KEEPER
I WAS TAKES IX.
I .
i The other day. when tbe wind
i whistled sad toned jigs around tbe
l battery, a little old roan entered
j saloon, in tbat vicinity, and asked the
bar keeper if be could leave some
; tracts there.
I "A whole car load, if you want
i to." was tbe prompt reply, and the
i little old man placed a package on
I the beertable and softlv said :
"Theres no nobler cause than tbe
i cause ofi the heathen. We should
i all contribute a small share of our
worldly wealth to shed tbe gospel
light across tbe seas."
A pair of boxing gloves were soft
ly reposing on a table, and tbe little
old man felt of tbem and went on
"It makes me sad to see sucb sin-
Iful thinirs Ivin? around when the
(cost of one glove might save a dozen
'souls in Africa."
! Three or four of the boys had
dropped in, and the paloon keeper
w inkeu at ineiii sun rrpucu .
"Do you want to earn $5 for the
heathen ?"
"Yerily, I do."
"Put on the gloves with me and
knock me down, and I'll ante up cash
enough to convert a whole regiment
of African sinners."
"The cause is noble, tbe induce
ment great," mused the little pld man,
as be toyed with the gloves. t .
Tbe bjys encouraged him to go in,
desiring to see him knocked wror.p
end un. and he finally got out of his
i i . . i i i . .j .
overcoat with the explanation :
"It can't be a sin to box for the
cause of the heathen."
The saloonis: meant to lift him
over one of the tables at tbe first
blow, but tbe blow was parried hand
somely, and tbe little old man sighed : j
"Ab um ! Tbe heathen walk in ,
wickedness and they have soul to be
saved 1"
"Look out, now !" cried the saloon
ist, as he got ia a left hander.
"Yerily, I will, and I willgive thee
oiio in return for tbe heathen."
He struck a staggering blov, and
tbe saloonist did'tfeel quite so cntbu-
siactic as oa the start. He took tbe
defensive and he soon had all tbe
work be could do.
"That's another for the ignorant
minds on the far offshore!" sighed
the little old man as be knocked tbe
saloonist against tbe wall.
There wasu t any "cence" about
bim, but be struck to kill, aud bis
arms were flying around like the
spokes of a wagon wheel.
"Don't crowd a Teller," called out
the saloonist, as be was being driven
back, and be get mad and put in bis
hardest licks. He meant to smash
tbe little old man'a nose as flat as
window glass; but he could not do
it. He got ia two or three fair bits,
and was beginning to regain bis
courage, when the aged stranger sor
rowfully remaiked:
"My friend, the heathen call, and I
cannot tarry much longer. Take this
one, and may it broaden your views
on the heathen question. Receive
this one in tbe spirit tendered, and
you may be sure tbe five dollars shall
be a beacon light as far as it will go."
He delivered two sledge-hammer
blows, right and left, and tbe saloon
ist got the last on the ear as be dodg
ed tbe first He went over in beau
tiful style, and as be slowly regained
bis feet be felt in bis vest pocket for
tbe wager.
"If you'll come around here to
night a id do that again I'll double
tbe oioucy !" be growled, as Le paid
tbe wager.
"My road points toward Bosticg,"
softly replied the old man, "and 1
cannot tarry. I-et us part friendly,
for I only boxed thee for the heath
en's sake. I gave to tbee, thou ha.-t
given to tbe heathen, and now, fare
well 1" San Francinco Call.

A writer to tbe Louisville Courier
Journal tells tbe following amusing
story:
A single fahot, followed by a loud
shriek, told us that one of my best
men, Bradley, was hurt He pro
claimed his agony with a loud voice,
turned over on bis back and com
menced kicking so vigorously tbat
tbe Burgeon had difficulty in getting
near bim.
"Poor fellow!" said tbe doctor,
"shot in the bladder. I am afraid it
is fatal."
"Ob, my God!" said Bradley, "am
I a dead man?"
"Keep up your spirits, my boy.
Never say die," said Captain John
son, kneeling kindly over bim.
"Doctor," atked tb wounded sol
dier, feebly, "will you write to my
mother tbat I died bravely, doing
my duty, with my face to tbe foe and
tbat I thought ot her when I was dy
ing?"
"Yes," said tbe doctor, with dim
eyes and a bukey voice, "I will
write to her and tell ber, too"
But suddenly springing to bis feet,
with an indignant voice be said:
"Wby, confound it, man, you're not
hurt a bit It is only your canteen
that ia shot Get up, will yon?"
Bradly raised np slowly, felt him
self all over, and with an exceeding
ingly foolua countenance, crawled
back to bis position, amid tbe up
roarious laughter of ibe whole reg
iment For roon'.hs after that on tbe
march, in the camp, and sometimes
in tbe night, you might bear a voice
in one direction demanding:
"Wbat shall I tell your mother?"

tention to its culture, if they desire
to receive
the highest market price
for their crop. Pure, while, uu.-pot-ted
stalks are required by customers,
for if they become rusted tbe quality
of the celery is injured. Fresb, crisp,
firm, snowy stalks of a large size, are
always sought tfier.
Various are the decisions concern
ing the preference for ridge or trench
culture, but whichever course is pur
sued, rich soil is very essential. If
the plants are tpindling and weak
now, they will not produce fiue, large
stalks; bat a judicious ot-e of liquid
manure will greatly increase their
size. A solaiion of guano water is
the best rtimulant, unless barnyard
liquid can be more readily obtained.
Dissolve one large iron spoonful of
guano to each gallon of water, and
apply twice a week. ative guano,
gathered from the hennery, will also
afford a good substitute. Dissolve
one pint of hen manure in three gal
lons of water, and let it stand in the
sun for two or three days; water with
it twice a week.
"These stimulants are more desira
ble for the culture of celery in rinall
gardens than for market gardening
Tbey could not easily be applied to
severa' acres, but will strengthen the
growth and increase tbe size of a few
trenches.
Many amateur gardeners make a
mistake in earthing up the stalks too
early, before the plant has obtained a
vigorous growth, and thus the root?
are buried too deeply for their health.
I a most climates, the first or middle
of October is soon enough to begin
to blanch celery for winter use, and
by tbat time the s'alks are large and
firm. Great care must be taken not
to cover tbe crowns, i. e., tbe tender
est sprouts, with sand or earth. Use
the band rather than a hoc or trowel
while placiog the earth around the
stalks, and select a dry day for the
work. It is the dampness of the soil
when applied which frequently causes
rust to attack tbe stalks. Io two
weeks earth up, or fill in agaio.
Celery is now considered a desira
ble sedative for nervous complaints,
and also a good digester of other
dishes. At any rate it is a very de
licious addition to dinners and sup
pers, and with a little care and trou
ble can be raised as readily by the
amateur as tbe market gardoer.
A firman Ward's fJrt Article.
One evening ex-Governor Riley
favored the Friday Night Club with
bis presence. Wt had been talking
of the days of yore, when Henry
Clay was king of the Bohemians and
in bis glory when those brilliant und
erratic spirits were wont to frequent
Charley PfafTs. As tbe tioveruor
entered Oseauyan was relating an an
ecdote of Ariemus Ward whose
face was quite familiar and always
welcome at the Long Table.
"I suppose I can tell you a story
of Artemus which has never been cir
culated, as I seldom have told it,"
said the Governor. "Well, many
years ago I was editor of a paper in
Toledo. In those days we bad to
get up early ia the morniug if we
wanted a first cut at the butcher's,
and one summer morn as I was hur
rying down a little Ute I passed a
tall seedy looking cap. Shortly nfter
I heard some one cry out, "Hold on,
mister!" and, "looking around, I dis
covered him approaching by long
long strides. 1 stopped, wondering
wbat be could wact of me.
"Look here, mister," said Le, when
he had overtaken me, "can you inform
me where Imight get a good square
meal for twenty-five cents?"
"I directed him to a quarter of the
town where cheap hash founderies
were located, and hastened on. I
bad not gone far, however, when I
heard some one again calling after
me. It was the same fellow. 'Ex
cuse me,' said be, 'but as you were
kind enough to tell me where I might
get a good square meal for twenty
five cents, I thought perhaps you
would be able to tell me where I
could get tbe twenty-five cents."
"Considerably amused, I question
ed bim and learned be wa3 a j urney
man printer, and tbat he had trampt J
up from Indiana. I gave him work
in our office at a salary of five or six
dollars a week, whicb-was not bad
wages at tbat time.
"One of bis duties was to bring
proof to me aod wait while I locked
it over. One day I was delayed
longer than usual and when I return
ed the sheets to him be banded me a
piece of paper upon wbicb it seems
be bad been scr'bliug 'while wailing.
I glanced at it and found it quite
amusing."
"Set it up," said I, "and that, I be
lieve, was the first article of Artemus
Ward's that ever appeared in print."

Hume years ago, when Dr. llavs
had returned from his first Arctic ex
ploring expedition, a poster appear
ed one morning at every prominent
place in a town in the interior of
Pennsylvania announcing :
"A free lecture in Republican Lull
on Thursday evening, seven o'clock,
4pril 1st. 18 , by Dr. Hays, the
great Arctic explorer. All are invit
ed." Long before the appointed hour
tbe hall was crowded, aud tbe audi
ence on the alert to catch a glimpse
of tbe great man who was to give
tbem a great intellectual treat all for
nothing. They waited aud watched
anxiously for over an hour, aod then
sent for tbe manager of tbe entertain
ment, but he couldn't be found any
where. At length some one proposed
to get np a collection to raise funds
to induce tbe doc tor to come over from
tbe hotel j but no oqe seconded tbe
mrtioo. Meanwhile, at tim outside
of a window at the far end of the
hall, gradually arose a playeard with
the words: "April Fools," in large
black letters, tor a time
uoperceived by the va.-t
but tbey bav'nt beard Dr.

Mr. Setb Green protests against
tbe wholesale slaughter of the sea
lions in San Francisco bay. In a
letter written on tbe fuljtcta he says
"1 see by tbe papers tbat your legis
lators have or are about to pass an
act for tbe destruction of all tbe sea
lions that inhabit the rocks at tbe
mouth of San Francisco bay. My
opinion is, it would be a shame to
kill them. Tbe whole of tbem do
not destroy as many fi--h as one Chi
naman, and if they" are all killed you
will never see any more of those
lOvks If there are too many, em
ploy some honest citizens to kill a cer
tain number; but do not destroy tbe
whole of that interesting familv iA
sea lions. If you do you will Lever
be sorry but once, and that will be
tbe remainder of your lives."
