CHAPTER Tl^TBX OOOTPIBATOBS' TUC/I. 

The Baron obeyed wltb the eagerness of a 
man who has bad a mlncnlons esoape from 
death Hia myaterlons friend bad taken him 
b^e sleeve of the famous botUe-green oo^, 
and led b''" along as a mother leads her child. 
The Baron jndged from certain Indications 
tbathewos being led through the same pass- 
cee by which he had been bronght Into the 
„jmal conncU-ohamber, He was sure of this 
when he bad cUmbod twenty-flve broad stone 
steps and felt the fresh breeze atdke his heat- 
ed brow. Althotigh he knew they were now 
in the open air, his gnlde stOl dragged him 
along, and even aocelarated his galL At last 
his rescuer stopped, and with a qnick motion 
removed the silken handkerchief from his 
eyes Aymerlc gave breath to one startled ex- 
oUmaUon, and stood and stared in speechless 
astonishment. _ ^ . , 

It was broad day, and the rays of a pale 
■Winter sun olayed full on his eyes and daz- 
zled him at first. But when his sight was re- 
stored to him be saw a man standing before 
him, calmly leaning on a stout stick, and 
awaiting apparently the subsidence of the Ba- 
ron's ejqpeoted bewilderment. His astonish- 
ment knew no bonads when he found that he 
owed his life to Llardot— the very mas who 
had denounced him to the band. It was in- 
deed he with his broad shoaldeia, his gon- 
dola-hat,' his cold,, impassive manner, and 
his "executive powor."^ He coolly stared at 
Candeli, and seemed to eitloy his surprise. 
This mute scene transpired in a vacant plot of 
ground through which ran a pathwav shaded 
by a number of very old trees. A rubied wall 
was on the right of the space, through several 
breaches in which nould be seen sever^ large 
buildings with grated windows. and on theleft 
was the sldawalk of a boulevard bordered with 
shade-trees. Not a living soul appeared on 
the horizon of this desert spot, 'j-'here came 
to the ear, however, the sharp shrieks of 
fifes therolUngot drums and the occasional 
calls' of bugles, making altogether the martial 
<lisoord8 of a camp in motion. The defenders 
of the BepubUo were goingthrough their exer- 
cises on a field near by, and aoqualnting them- 
selves with the sounds of the "charge, the 
"generarand the "retreat"— the three grand 
harmonies of the Bevolutlon. ^ , ^ „

about your neok to see if- ytmr -resolution 
would notgtve way at the last moment." 

"Ah ! Well, they found I wasn't nervous, at 
any rate." 

"The result of this test was deotelve. The 
Black Band admires courage, and It has had 
the best proof of yours." 

"Well,! thank them from my heart. Bat 
thelrdeclslon mtist have provoked that wretch- 
ed old prosecutor In red, who followed me up 
so savagely." 

"Oh, no, it did not," replied Uardot wtth a 
taint contraction ol the nazd Ups that might 
have passed for a smile. 

"What I You dontmean to tell me he fell 
in with the party in my favor?" 

"It was he, monsieur, who perstiaded the 
others in the first plaoa — It was he who de- 
fended you." 

"What'sthat? Oh, no ; Itfs impossible. How 
was It he should suddenly tail Into sympathy 
with me— a mom he did not know?" 

"He did not aottrom personal sympathy. 
He thouj^ht he was serving tbe oause of the 
Slnir by saving yon^that's oU." 

"Tbe motive matters Uttle to me. AU I need 
to know Is that he has saved my life, and I 
hope you will afford me an early opportunity 
of seeing him, and thanking him as he de- 
servee." 

"Nothing could be easier, monsieur. I am 
the man." 

"Tou? Was it you, then, who wore the^red 
rober 
"Tee " 

•Tour name?" 

"I told you once. It is Iiiardot." 
'Uardot I I shall not forget It again, be as- 
sured. It my bead Is someUmee light and 
my judgment rash, my heart Is good and my 
arm is strtnig,and alllhave, or ail I am. Is at 
your service for llt«." 
"I aeoept," said Uardot gravely. 
"What a warning this is against one's being 
guided by first impressions," said Candell. 
'"Now, do you know. Ltardot. that when I first 
saw you yon did not impress me laivoraldy at 
all?" 

f'And I too. I aeknowledge fnmkly that

■your love^plons, and your ToUy In rushing into 
tttebiswlatthe oate dlaga&teA' nie with yon. 
But now,' since I have seen with -my own eyes 
how you bear yonselt In the face of death, I 
.have gotrld of all my. prejudices." 

*!Iam.gladto'.leainIt.*'BaldtheBazon. "But 
Since we are friends nov^ peifaspe yoo. can tell 
mewhat situation I have tieen plaoed in by the 
'remarkable events of last night?"- ' 

'"I\flU do 'So. as ^ walk towards myresl- 
'dedce;'for.lt'wlU be dangiaronB to stand here

. "Ob, yes. We're too near the subterranean 
otaamber. . The Jfaooblns must not dlsoover 
that. .1 forgot about it altogether. It would 
disarrange the I>and if It should lose tb^ plnoe 
where It. can hang people so-oomfortablv and 
quteUy." 

"Never fear — our precautions are too wall 
taken to permit of dlsoovery. It Is 'beet, how- 
ever, to move on, and, besides, you need re- 
pose." . 

"Not at an. Tbe exciting adventures I h nve 
bad have driven away all desire for sleep. But 
I do not leeoenlze this looallty. Would it be 
indlsoieetto ask yon where we are?" 

"Certainly not. We are on the grounds that 
were formerly the fair grounds of St. Laurent, 
and which were a part of the property ot the 
former monastery of SLLazare, which is now 
Government property, and is used as a barracks 
for troope." 

"Just as I suspected. A fair-ground where 
the grass grows rank, a monaatery whore 
bugles and drums do the offioe of holy chants. 
Truly, the Dlreotory Is giving us a charming 
rule. But may I ask furtner where are we 
going?" 

"We are going to my houee. I live at the 
Quay Theatln, and my eetablishment Is large 
enough to afford you a comfortable apartment 
to yotirself ." 

"Hahy thanks," said Candeil;"but for ef- 
feoUveness In the future opeiattons I may en- 
gage in, I think It best I should occupy apart- 
ments by myself, and far removed from yours. 
I think I have found the accommodatiODS best 
suited to me already." 

"Whatr' said Liardot, greatly astonished. 
Already?" 

"Yea, indeed, and by the luckiest accident In 

the world. Last night " 

"I shall not insist on your lodging -with me," 
interrupted Llardotsuddenly; ''for that might 
hereafter prove very inconvenient to both ot 
ufi; but if you intend to dwell tn tbe house of 
tbe woman you visited last night, I must warn 
you " 

"Oh, have no fear on that score, my dear 
friend," said Avmeric, laughing; "fori assure 
you the lady would object. Besides, I have 
had a lesson In caution. But, by tbe wa.v. what 
Is to be the extent of my liberty here? If I am 
to ba spied on and watched like a schoolboy, I 
would much prefer London to Paris as a resi- 
dence." 

"Tou will be free. I am responsible foryou, 
and you have to account to no one but me 
hereafter." 

"I eouldnt ask anything better than that, 
I'm sure." 

"We are to meet daily, nnd I am to convey to 

?ou the progress of events and the instructfons 
receive. We -will put heads together and act 
in concert In all matters." 
"That suits me to a marvel." 
"As to your love-aftalrs, they're the only 
danger I fear," said Liardot -with a slight 
shade of Irony in bis voice; "butit -will besuf- 
ficlent for eaoh of us to pledge our sacred 
word of honor, you never to eilow a word of 
our secret to escape yotir lips In tbe hearing of 
your mlsiress, and I never to seek to learn 
either her name or her dwelllBg." 

"That's the -way to talk,"8alircandeaenthn- 
slastically; "and! promise with all my heart." 

"Well, then, for my part, I ehall never men- 
tion the subject to you agun,"Bald tbe guide. 

'Done I" said the Baron; "I am delighted 
that I have to do with no one but yon, for I do 
not deny that what I have seen of the rest of 
my tellow-oonspliatois doe? not Impress me 
with admiration. I have no great deeire to 
work in their company." 

"I dMit wonder that your first interview 
with them has impressed you onlavorably. 
They have beep a little rough, I acknowledge, 

and their proceedings " 

"Oh, don't suppose I am prejudiced beoauee 
they proposed to hang me. Not at all. I be- 
lieve In rules and strict discipline. The Band 
Is not to my taate for other reaaons. I do not 
like the paraphernalia which it employs and 
the mummerlee it countenances. Pray tell me 
what good to our cause are subterranean pass' 
ages, dim -vaults, masked Judges in red and 
blaok gowns, and midnight counoUs, except to 
frighten obildren? These things read very well 
In the fashionable English novels, but they 
are rldlonloas when yon tiT them in reality." 

"Ton would be right if our sympathizers 
were all of your mettle," said Lisfdot; "bat, 
antortanoteiy, these means are the most pow- 
erful and necessary to work on the vulgar 
minds that are engaged in our caas&" 
"That may be,'!sfiid_CtandeQ after some re^

rectory. But you can never do this by wasting 
your time in holding midnight meetings In 
underground vaults. To succeed yon only 
need a thousand men, led by a*brave ctder, 
who, like them all, would be determined to 
succeed or die in. the attempt, Wbatdoyou 
think of the idea?" 

Uardot hod listened attentively to Candell's 
enthusiastio exposition of his plans as they 
walked along, but he did not seem very deeply 
Impressed by them. He shook his head douot- 
inBly. 

"Permit me. Baron," said he, "to tell you of 
a third plan, which is mine. I told you, I be- 
lieve, when we first met, that, owing to the fact 
that I am notol noble birth, I escaped all per- 
secution when the Bevolutlon broke out, and 
havd been enabled to engage In specul^ons 
and even make a laige fortune in these wretch- 
ed times." 

"Tou deserve to be ennobled by the King for 
your fidelity to the good cause under such cir- 
cumstances," said Aymeric. 

"I do not seek either compliments or hon- 
ors," answered Liardot; "I am honestly and 
in self-sacrificing spirit as much a Royalist as 
you are, but not from tbe same motive. You 
fight as a nobleman for your kind ; I, as a son 
of tbe soil, fight tor France. It was I who or- 
oanlzed the Black Band. I have enrolled the 
recruits, organized the system of work, en- 
gatred spies In tbe service ot the Qovemment, 
and, in my Influential position as a merchant, 
I have gained such power in the handling of 
stocks and In controlling the qnotatiooB ot 
gold that at this moment, almost, I might pre- 
cipitate the Government Into bankruptcy with 
a word. Everything is ready tor this explo- 
sion. I have the train laid and the match In 
my band. AU I tiave to d< is to light It, and 
the whole fabric of this usurping Government 
-will be blown to fiagments by an Irresistible 
financial explosion. I have no need of the 
English, nor do I need the Parisians, to go out 
Into the woods and fields to face the cannon of 
our enemy. Hy plans are secret, my power 
Is buried, but It is a power beyond the force ot 

ormlee." 

"I agree -with von. Tonrs Is a splendid plan. 
I decidedly think yon are the man above all 
others tor me to work with. Bat you say yonr 

Blons are all ready, and you have only to give 
le signal to acnompUsh all this. 'Why don't 
you give It? Wiiat are you -waiting for?" 

"That I may be more than sure of aucoees, 
The last attempt to overtlBow the Government 
cost too many good Uvea , We cannot afford to 
move until we are doubly sure." 

"Oh, well, then, you may wait till doomsday. 
It oonspliators can't runa risk, they are pretty 
likely to let .their chances ran by, and strike 
feebly at last, when it is too late. 'Ton say the 
people are tired ot the anarchy ot the present 
rule. 'Vary welL Summon your Black- Band. 
Arm them and give me the command. I will 
march them on the Luxembourg, and my word, 
for It wS^will oapture the entire Government 
and drop -Barras himself out of the highest, 
window of the'palace." 

"We will throw him out and his four col- 
leagues otter him, all in good time, but a little 
later." 

"Bat what have we to wait for?" 

"We must bave the army . ot Fianoe on our 
Bide, or weoannot bold tbe advantage we gain. 
We must work iiirough friends and agents 
like you on 1£e officers ot the army in the field 
and In Paris, and through them on the rank 
and file to' interest them in the cause of tiie 
King. ' To this branch of the work of the o6n- 
BDlnoy I assign you."

conversations you must never forget to pro- 
fess tbe loftiest admiration for tho French 
army, and pretend to desire to study Its con- 
duct, and thus facilitate your acquaintance 
among Its ohlefs." 

"Ob, thafs very easily done. Ill be acquaint- 
ed with the entire garrison ot Paris In a week, 
and in a month I shall have poisoned their 
minds against the Bepublic — every one of them, 
from the smallest drummer-boy up to the gen- 
eral commanding the post" 

"Then I shall rely on you to do this work 
faithfully, -without further instructions." 

"Tou need not trouble yourself about it any 
further; it shall be done. But, by the way, 
isn't it about time I transferred to yon the dis- 
patches and the funds which the London Com- 
mittee directed me to deliver here? Your 
bloodthirsty Black Band were so Intent on ttielr 
midnight masquerade, and so absorbed In the 
Idea of hanging me, that they never thought ot 
asking me to tolfiU the mission that brought 
me hero." 

"I am empowered to receive the funds in 
trust, if you wish to deliver them," said Liar- 
dot. "As for the papers, I know what they 
contain, and you need not trouble yourself to 
deliver them until to-morrow, after you have 
established yoatself and settled your aSiilrs 
comfortably." 

"Hy lodgings -will not be far from yours," 
said Oandell. "so I shall not take long to es- ' 
tabltsh myself." 

"Tou are going to lodge with trustworthy 
people, I hope," said Liardot, with evident 
misgivings in regard to the judgment of his 
reckless, light-headed yoting friend. 

"Ot course they're trustworthy. Do you 
suppose I set no value on my head?" answeiled 
the Baron with a gay laugh. 
"Be prudent," said Uardot mistrustfully. 
"If I am not mistaken, here we are at the 
Pont Neut, and our journey draws to an end." 

"Tes," said Liardot. "At the bridge we wlU 
separate. It is important that I see you again 
as soon as possible. The best excuse to bring 
about this meeting without exciting snsplclon 

will be a dinnerparty ; therefore, I in-rlteyon to 

dine with me, monsieur, at six o'clock to-mor- 
row evening," 
"And I accept with pleastire." 
"I shall have among my gaests the Com- 
mlBson-'general of the French armies, and 
several oontiaotors who are In high favor at 
the Court ot the Directory." 

"Indeed? Then don't yon tear that my pres- 
ence at your table may occasion comment from 
thoee robbers of thepubllc revenues?" 

"Ot course not Have you forgotten already 
that you are to pass for an adopted citizen of 
the American republic? Bemember your las-. 
:son, qod come to-morrow at the appointed 
hour, and all irlll be -well. There is no need to-

through the Rue Dauphlne. 

CHAPTER TII.— THE SPABIAM icorrKBB. 

Aymerie had his reasons for hastening to ac 
cept the offer ol his new-found friend. First 
of all. It -was absolutely necessary that he 
should find some place where he could be 
alone, and where he could rest In quiet after 
the strange adventures of the last night The 
young oficer of the Republic bad impressed 
nlm -with a deep admiration, and he was anx- 
ious to know more of him; so otiriosi^as well 
as interest urged him to hasten to beep the 
appointment he had made with him. 

As the Baron hurried along, he did not faU 
to notice the passers-by and the peouliarities 
of tbe looallty he was in. Everything vras so 
changed and seemed so strange to him that he 
'viewed it with the interest of a man traveling 
through a foreign country at the antipodes ol 
his place ot birth. He was puzzled to find bis 
way when he had reached tne old abbey of St 
Germain. ' The old edifice had been given up, 
like many othere at the time, to the usee ot In- 
dustry, and was now tised as a sugar-refinery, 
Its being put to this use had. saved it from 
demolition, hut had not preserved it from the 
attacks of fire, for In 1791 Its magnificent libra- 
ry had been almost entirely desooyed, - A sta- 
ble tor post-horses had been made in one part 
ot the building, and the walls had been pierced 
In several plaoes, and small shopkeepere had 
eetabllsbea themBeUes and drove athrlvinf . 
tzade through the email openings In the soll( i 
black wall, which seemed like portholes In 
some gigantic stranded ship, Aymerlc Inquir- 
ed ot one of. these parasite merchants It he 
could direct htm to tiie dwelling of George 
Salvlao, he having forgotten the number. He 
found that the lieutenant was well known in 
the neighborhood by the arm he carried in a 
sling. 

"George Salvlao? Oh, yes. I know him/' said 
a fat dealer in jags and old Iron, who -was seat- 
ed In his nltch emoklng a blaoK pipe. "He Is 
the son of a widow ot one of the most famous 
ot our patriots. It you -wish to visit her house, 
thm to the right when you get to the end ot the 
Street, and then It Is the seoond door on the 
left-hand side." 

"Thankp,'' SEtid Aymerlc. "But may I ask 
you offe worcl more?*' 

"Tee, four of them if you -wish," replied the 
tat'man. 

° "'Well, then," said Candell, "alnce you aay 
the Widow Salvbo's husband -was a great 
patriot, Is'lt not true that he had his throu out 
In very bad company?" 

VOh, that's known well enough," said the 
sreasy faerohant;"and It you're a friend of the 
SalviaoB, 'you 'mtist know he died 'oh the 
'scaffold.' 'He wAs iiillie same batch with Don- 
ton when the natlonnl rasor shaved Off -his 
head." The mian madqrk^ilBcant motion of 
his hand across his tfaroat,.aiKlCan4ell turned 
on his heel In disgust - ~ ' . ' 

"Hum I" said. Aymerlc to himself as he 
walked oq. "The eon ot a man who was guil- 
lotined -wUh Danton. Here Is food for zSlea- 
ttoo, . Suppose I ' abandon this qaefitlonabie 
aoqiiaintaaoe and isaek my breakfast else-' 
WMraL *Bat where am I to flndlodfflngs, sinoe

"1 knew you -wbtild oome," said he Jpg^olly. I 
"Uy mother did not believe you would Jiut I 
had faith In yonr promise. She will be pleased 
toseeyou;" 

: The allusion ot Oeorga.to hIa )inotlij^ re- 
mlnfJed Aymerlo that she was tho- widow of a: 
trieiid' ot^oi^onV.'qftd thfs 're'mlnisoeneei wds 
by no means reassuring. He rettUned^hls 
friend's salutation vrarmly, however, for his 
sympathies were tuUy awakened by the frank 
ways ot the young omQer. ° ; - 

"Faith,. you have a royal -way ot rooelvlng 
your friends," eald^the Baron; "yon break 
the Ice at onoe. and one feels no awc\Tardnees 
In your houBO." ' ■'' ■■ 

- ''Hy friendshlpa are warm," answered 
Qeoige, "and loe has no ohanoeto form be- 
tween me and my friends." 

"Well, then," said Oandell, "well under- 
stand eaoh other marvelously well, tor I flat- 
ter myseul'm Incandescent, too, In suota mat- 
tere; and, slnoe both ot us are voloanio " 

"Hal hat a volcano I" cried George. "Tou 
were In eruption last nl^t when I met yoo, 
then?" 

"Yes, Indeed; but that was nothing to tbe 
earthquake that followed and nearly overthrew 
me,voloano as I was." 
"How waa that?" 
"Oh, never mind. We are forgetting Madame 
Salvlao. I am anxious to be Intzodoced to 
your excellent mother." 

The Baron had just recalled the vraming of 
Liardot In >regard to pmdenoe In his speech, 
and otianged the topic in time. 

"She is waiting Impatiently for yonr eom- 
log," aald the lieutenant, "for I have told her 
ot - the service yon did me last evening, and 
she wfU doubtless embrace yon the moment 
you appear ; so prepare yourself." 

With these words he led Aymerlc into the 
house. Truth to say, the latter regarded with 
no little trepidation the proepect ot being 
hugged by the -widow ot Danton's friend. It 
was an awkward predicament tor a Boyallat, 
and a oonspirator at tttat. 

"If she knew for what purpose I have re- 
turned to France," he thougnt, "she would 
rather cut my throat than embtaoe me." 

"By the way, my friend," said Salvlao, "do 
you know that last night yon foigot to tell me 
your name, and I did not presume to ask it?" 

Aymeric was not ready tor this sudden ques- 
tion, and bis confusion would bave been visible 
had not the gloom ot the darkened house oon- 
oealed his teattiree. But the lesson tliat Uar- 
dot had given him quickly flashed across his 
mind, and he decided that thlai^ a good op- 
portunity to makeUs d^nt In hln new eliar- 
acter ot a eldzen of the Amerietm BepobUc 

"Tmet". he exclaimed. "I forgot it. and 
what Is unpardonable, forgot it after asking 
' route give IT eyonrs. I hastentomakeamendB 
1 or my unpollteneas by informing you that I 
am called Charles Fougetay. - My lather was 
Criminal prosecutor in a 'telUwiek in Norman- 
dy, and atter consuming 'pretty neazty all the 
IltUe fortune he left me I went to AmeHqa to 
seek my fortune; and in LonlslBna, wttere .1 
have resided for some yean, I have suoeeeded 
in ftmoBfllng a sum which I have retnmed to 
spend in Paris. Now, then, my dear George, 
yon know all about me." - 

"Tea; and what yon fell me gtree me the 
greatest ideBBue in the.wacld."Baid the offioer 
joyfuUy. 
"Why?" askedOandelL 
"Because I imagined that you were a great 
nobleman, and that our revohitioo had ruined 
your tortnnee and perseented your life." . 

"Oh, I nndsiataad. . Tliat. idea come to von 
lost, night when I. told vou^L.-wasa Royalist, 
and asked yoa niot to Oall-me oiUzenL** 
"Xroar tfiat^a whaS gave me the Idaa.',' 
"Well, then, I ain a Boyaltstln senUment I 
do not like tbe title of citizen, but prefer to be 
called monsieur; but that does not make me 
a great nobleman. Hy family was of the mid- 
dle class, between nobility and tbe people, and 
could chooee between either with equal 
right I ohose to espouse the cause of nobil- 
ity when I saw the latter suflering on the guil- 
lotlhe, since my temperament is such as to 
carry me, -without oonsldeiatlon ot oonse- 
quences, to the elde of the weaker party." 

"I know that byyonr btave action last night," 
answered George. "I am delighted with what 
you tall me, and 1 see nothing to prevent our 
warmest friendship. But here we are at the 
soUe, where my mother Is -waiting to receive 
you."

A DRESS-REHEARSAL. 

There can be- no »««i«t»><iig the design ot the 
ai^st in the clever sketch which forms the sab- 
leotot thlB week's lUustratlon. The wandering 
showman, with his little company ot attendants, 
Istootamlllar a oharaotsr to need IntroduoUon. 
Bnt the mysteries ot a drees-rebeaisal are, per- 
haps, not so well known to the world. Here we 
may take a peep tMhlml the seenea and aatlaty 
our curiosity. The most prominent figure In tbe 
picturesque group appeaia to be the dog, dressed 
like a soldier and carrying a gun. Burely he un- 
derstands every motion of his master's hand, and 
we may rest assured tbat he Is a veteran at the 
business. They ore all veterans, even the amall- 
er dog, whose bnalneaa It Is to pick out whatever 
card may be called for. With what a mingled air 
ot pity and contempt he watches his teUow-per- 
tormer, believing, no donbt, that any dog can 
walk on his hlad-legs and carry a gun, while It 
requires oc^ial canine genius to distinguish a 
klngtroiii an aoe. 'It Is' pleasant to think that 
Jealousies Ot this kind are never known except 
among dog-pertormers. . Tes, they are all vet- 
erans, even to the little girl who leans upon the 
man's shoulder and watches Fldo march, tor the 
sight Is no new one to her. - She has followed the 
builnass from her eorlleat reooUecUon, and the 
dogs have been the only playfellows she has over 
known. And what ot the bronzs-Iaeed men who 
has wandered tor years In the companionship ot 
his dogs and child? ' Wliat ot him. Indeed? This 
drees-reheaisal might awaken some touching 
memories it the man were given to sentiment. 
But he Is not; nor Is the one spectator ot the 
scene which the artist has Introdueod. Why, 
then; should we not look with equal stolidity anc , 
even lees display et earal 



FUH FOB THXK, BUT NOT FOB THX NEXT.— 
A stroUlng troupe, ot whom young Hortense 
Bohnelder wasone, announced "La Tour de Neele' 
tor their last performance In the little French 
townofAgen. An- overflow restated. The actors 
were In high spirits and full ot tun. MUe, 
Bohnelder, dtsoovering an old pair ot maset boots 
behind the scene, put them, by way ot a Joke, Into 
tne bands of Boridan as be wassolngon thoalage. 

Accepting ot the awkward handful, he plaoed 
the iMotB on a table on the etage and quletlj went 
through his port, when Philippe d'Aulnay took 
poaeeeslon, and made his exit with one under 
•ooh arm. In the next aet Horguerlte de Bur- 
gegne entered, carrying the mysterious boots 
and passed them to Oaultlerd'AIney; he turned, 
them over to Oratnl. In short, tMtore the curtain 
tell, the boots, though foreign to the pleoe, had 
been borne in suoceeslon by every personage. 
The audience watched lor their appearanoe, while 
wondering what it all meant, and applauded the 
players to their heart's contenL Twelve months 
afterwards 'another oempany set up their bUls In 
Agen, and"La Tonr de Meele" attracted every- 
body to the theatre;. bat betore the first act was 
over there were symptoms ot olsplesaure, whIoh 
gradually Increased until the uproarwas so great 
that thS' curtain toll on a halt-played piece; 
twnehes were torn np, lights put out. and only 
the anlval ot the |Iayor at the head ot a troop ot 
soldiers,, put an.ei)d to the tumult. ' Then the 
Vayor turned on the poor manager, who pretested 
his InabllltT to undentand . how the rlot come- 
abont. . •-•That Is all nonsense," returned the

AS iniFOBTDHATE DISEASE. 

Obaarratlon leads tiB to the kellef that a new 
diHeasft has of lata broken ont among. ii}en, and, 
in a milder form, among women also. In the 
phraseology ot the medical Imoks, ttato disaaae 
might tM described as nmia-manageria, A more 
Soxoa and perhaps simpler explanation would 
be eraz7-to-manage-a-tlieatre. We speak of the 
disease as new only In a reaMctod aenae. Doubt- 
less It has been In the blood tor generations 
past, bnt circumstances bave heretofore tended 
to bold It in check. Thoeo clrcumatancos appear 
now to bo wonting. The unfortunate person wbo 
la afflicted with tbe disease nowadaTS Is not to be 
beld In check by anything— unless, poeslbly. It be 
deputy-sheriff who Is bImsoK lo searoh ot a 
check. Uanla-managerla has come to be so 
widespread and so serious that it deserres critic- 
al attention. 

With regard to the symptoms, Urst, It may be 
aald that the patient, at a rery early stage, mani- 
fests an Inordinate Interest In things which he 
really knows nothing about. As on InsTltable 
seqnence to this condition, he neglects those du- 
ties tor Tbich he Is fitted— It, indeed, it eo bap- 
pens that be to fitted for anything. When the 
fever gets fairly Into the system, the sufferer may 
be found flgnrlng ont the Imaginary proflts ot 
his rose-tinted enterprises after this fashion: 
Bent, per week, fSOO; stock people, $100; printing 
and adverttolng, $200; all incidentals, $300— total, 
$1,400. Blx erenlng perforxnanoea, $500 each, 
S3.000; two matinees, $3S0 each, $T00-total, $3,T00. 
Clear to the management, per week, $2,300. 
From tbls stage ot the disease Its farther derel- 
opment is fatally rapid. The Tlotlm either bor- 
rows, begs or spproprlatea all the money be con 
possibly command, and, with the rosily lUusiTe 
flgnres dazzling his eyes, he plunges Into the tur- 
bulent waters ot theattlcal manncement. The 
chilling effects of that first plunge are Instantan- 
eous and terrible. If tbe reaction does not 
kill the patient, it to apt to cure lilm— tem- 
porarily, at least. He may suffer a relapse 
In cose he is eyer again able to borrow, beg 
or appropriate ; bat ao long as Ma affliction to 
known his chances ot raising the wind are en- 
couragingly small. This severe treatment, how- 
ever. Is too harsh to bo generally advocated. It 
may effect a permanent cure, bnt It does so at a 
terrible price. The victim wh* has smilingly 
figured ont a weekly Income ot •1,300, who has ex- 
pounded to circles ot admiring friends his own 
cherished views on the subject ot theatrical man- 
agement, who has repeatedly affirmed that any 
theatre can be mode to pay U it is only properly 
conducted— the over-confldent neophyte who has 
staked his fortune, or more trequently that ot his 
friends, on his nntrlsd abilities as a manager, 
who has rushed into print to point out to the pub- 
lic what the pabllo really wants, and who itotens 
wlthr undisguised contempt to the warnings of ex- 
Iierlenoe— ^thls viotlm, this neophyte, cannot be 
expected to undergo the plunge-treatment with- 
out serloaa consequences. The suddenness of 
the shock may sven prove fatal. At the end 
ot one little week his rose-colored Oguree have 
assumed this horrible shape: Bent, $S00; stock 
people, $700; advertising, printing, stage-bonds, 
gas, ushers, scene-palntetB, carpenters, nphol* 
Bterers, and a thoosand Incidentals wbloh he 
never dreamed ot in oonneotlon with a theatre, 
$1,000; total, $3,300. Six'eTenlng performances, 
average receipts $90, $H0; one mattnee (two 04'* 
vertlsed, but only three doUaM In the honse on 
Wednesday, and, accordingly, no performance), 
$17.60; total, $SS7.fi0. Blzty centa on the dollar 
to the UIostTlous star— etrange tbat the viotlm ot 
manlo-managerta should have forgotten all obont 
the iUostrloas star— $334.80; whlob, deducted 
from the total rsMlpts, leaves $233 wherewith to 
detrsy the $3,300 azpensas. Clean loss In one 
week, $I,8Tr. These ore the flgnree which were 
to yield $3,800 a week proSt. Bnt wone even 
than the showing are the loss of that 

glorious self -oonfldsnce which sustained the po- 
tlant and the bursting ot the bubble ot vanity.

THE PEDE STM AH FETEB. 

The pedestrian fever fontlnues to rage with 
undiminished violence. Hatches are announced 
In pretty nearly every town In tha country, and 
challenges ore OylDg about In such numt>ers that 
it is out of the question tQ_keop track ot them all. 
The mania seems to have seized upon women al- 
most as fiercely as upon men. Indeed, there are 
probably more embryo Mme. Andersons Just at 
present than there are undeveloped O'Learys. 
As tor champions, we have them absolutely 
without limit. There is the champion of the 
Third Ward ot Keokuk, who is thirsting to 
measure strides with the champion of tbe 
Fourth Ward of Oshkosh ; and there is the cham- 
pion of Tumlp Comers, who to morally cer- 
toln that he can walk the boots off of tho cham- 
pion ot Potato Hollow. All this Is well enough, 
and TBS CUPPEB rejoices to seo the growing 
popularity ot any kind of athletic tserclse; but, 
IC we offer a word or two ot advlco In tbls cod- 
necUon, we hope that neither tho champion ot 
Tumlp Corners nor any ot his rivals will take 
offense. 

Walking Is not only oneot the beat tonnsot 
bodily esert:lse, but It is also, under proper con- 
ditions, the most natural and enjoyable. To the 
man In robust health a five-mile turn In tho 
braclDg momlDg-air is tbe only tonic he needs. 
If he koeps bto eyes open he will find tnat hto 
Jaunt refreshee his mind as well as strengthens 
his body. It Is not surprising that the art of 
walking— for art it is— should possess a peculiar 
fascination for many persons who are not at- 
tracted towards other forms ot outdoor exercise. 
Its simplicity recommends It, to b^in with, and 
Its necessity. In a great many cases, oompels 
prootioe. And yet very tew penons know how to 
walk. Vbr tbls reason, tha Impetus which pubUe 
matches have given to pedastrlanlsm Is an excel- 
lent thing. The piotssslonal walker wbo, by 
awakening general Interest In bis performances, 
awakens also o general deetra among those who 
see him to master bla art, should lie regarded 
a pnbUe benelBotor. Bat Just here It 
strlkee us that a dtstlnrtton Is to be drawn. 
Because walking Is a capital thing In Itself. It 
does not follow that e> ai jhu dy bl ss s ed with sonnd 
lags shoald enter the arena as a profeaalOBal pe- 
deetrtoDu Becotise OXsary earns his bread by 
Indnsttloosly tmdgUig aboot a sawdust track. 
It Is not to be assumed that mankind at large Is 
to devote bis energies to a similar pursuit. The 
mistake which tbe champion ot Tumlp Ooraers 
mokea is In oherlabtng the belief that pedeecrion 
power la ot no oooount nnleee it oan be dtoployed 
before on admiring crowd in a public holL Hefolls 
to perceive the benefits ot knowing how to walk 
unless they lie la dtvldlng gstiKssoney. Be to 
Strang In the faith that he needs only the oppor- 
tunity to perform wonderful teats. He gives him- 
self up to spasmodic training, and perhaps under- 
takes a twenty-four-hours' Jaunt merely to ebow 
hlBtrlendswhathelscapobleofdalng. In this pre- 
liminary trial, on a track of his own measurement 
and according to the record of bis own tlme-keep- 
era. he to credited with covering more miles in the 
given time than anybody has claimed 10 cover 
before. On the strength of thto ollcged perform- 
ance he elta down and writos a challenge to the 
world, signs himself the champion of Turnip Cor- 
ners, and feeds his vanity on the thought that he 
is at last fully launched on tbe sea ot profession- 
al pedestrianlsm. If it eo hapi>ens that his chal- 
lenge to accepted, and if he finds backors among 
his unaopbtotlcated admirers, one pabllc trial to 
usually enough to satlsty the ambitious amateur, 
and more than enough to satisfy his backors. 
Put fairly to the test, hedlscovers that bto boasted 
powers fall far short ot the limit which he pre- 
sumably reached when walking for his own 
amusement. And be leams by bitter experience 
that feats of great endurance or strength are not 
accomplished without long training and patient 
practice. 

While Tee Clifpeb would not for a moment 
be understood as discouraging walltlng-matches. 
It would honestly advise the champion ot Tumlp 
Comers to refrain from Issuing any more cbal- 
lengee. To make pedestrlontom the buslneaa ot 
one's lite to no trivial matter. The man who suc- 
ceeds in that line mtist be poesessed of rare 
physical etrength, remarkable staying pow- 
ei8 and indomitable pluck. To theee by 
no means cammon qualities mtist be added 
proper training and a due amount of ex- 
perience. Even then tbe ohances of achiev- 
ing marked success are not ovemumerous. IjOt 
walking be assiduously cultivated, and let the 
aspirant for pedeetrlan honore strive as iierslst- 
ently as he pleases to beat tbe best recorded per- 
formances; but at tbe same time let him con- 
tent himself with the aattofactlon which hto 
private elforts bring. Thto should be reward 
enough without seeking to get his bread and 
butter out of pedestrlontom. 

WHEN 3ENATOB8 OOMKLIH AND BUBNSIDB Were 
settling their differences In their own peculiar 
way, a few daya ago, in tke U. B. Benate, what 
would the assembled wtodom ot the nation have 
thought of it bod the police entered, captured 
prlncipato as well aa spectators, and toted them 
to the calaboose? -And yet the Senators were as 
guilty ot an Infraction ot the low as were tbe 
manly onlsu who were eo unceremonlonsly gob- 
bled up In this city early on the morning ot Feb. 
33, which, being tbe anniversary ot Washington's 
birthday, madethe whole thing more humiliating 
to them. We can see no difference tietween the al- 
leged offense ot the artists Cobnm and Qoodwln 
and those of Senators Conkllng and Bumslde.

CBARIXS ROWEIX. 

Through the eourteeyot the gentlemanly and 
nnaasnming young Engltohman who has been 
thought gtwd enough to send across the broad 
Atlanllo 10 try and irtn book the belt held by 
Oliampton O'Leary, we are thto week enabled 
to present to our readers a portrait ot ObarlBS 
Bowel], the aame being a reproduction of a 
picture which he. by onr reqnest, sat for on 
Monday morning, March 8. A sketch ot hto 
career before the public will be found npon 
anoiher page. As regards the result ot the ap- 
pmooblnjg contest, while evidently qnlte eonfl- 
dent as to the Issue, Bowell to tar trom boasttul, 
simply saying that It tslr play to guaranteed 
him, as he has no doubt will be the case, he feels 
capable ot doing a big pertonaonee: and It he 
can't win, he thinks he won't be tor behind the 
victor. His appearance and maimer cannot but 
Impress very tavorably all who meet him. 



THB ASTIiBY BBCT. 
Vpon another page appears on ortlole relating 
to the competition which to to take place at Oll- 
more's Oarden, this olty, next week, commencing 
at 1 A. Monday, March 10, and ending at 11 
p. K. 16, between Daniel O'Leur of Ohioago, 111., 
Charles Bowell ot Cambridge, Eog., Oliarlea Har- 
rlman ot New York, and John Ennto ot Chicago, 
the same belnir tbe third oonteet for the posses- 
sion ot the Astley belt emblematic ot the cham- 
pionship of the world. The articles of agree- 
ment OS drawn up in London, signsd by 
Buwell, and torwarded to the office ot The 

Tvrff t\tld ond flirm for O'Loary's oonalders- 
tlon, have Iain at that olDce ever since, and 
aro unsigned by any of the American prlncipato, 
wbo decline to attach their signatures, because 
certain provisions thereof do not meet witb their 
approval. The chief trouble llee In the fact tbat 
deQnlle provision to not made for the dividing of 
the gate-money between three or four contest- 
ants, neceseltatlDg some alterations in the docu- 
ment, which win doubtless be perfected at the 
coutercnce tbat will ensue upon tbe arri- 
val of Mr. Atkinson, the representative of the 
donor of the belt and RoAvell's advisor, wbo 
will probably reach bere March 1 or 8. It 
Is llkoly that the arrangement for the di- 
vision ol tbe receipts will be about as fol- 
lows: If only one man covers 430 miles, he 
shall take oil tbe money; It only two cover 430 
miles, the man traveling the greater distance 
shall take two-tblrds, and ihe other one-third ; it 
threo men cov<>r IjO miles, the winner shall have 
one-halt tlie receipts, tho second man 3u per 
cent., and the third 20 per cent. ; If all four cover 
4S0 miles, the wluner 10 toke one-half, the second 
man 2i per cent,, tha third 15 per cent., 
and fourth 10 per cent. It would seem that 
tbto should cover the ground, and prove ant- 
tofactory. In the betting O'Leary to of course 
tbo favorite, and among the larceet amounto wa- 
gered are f 4,000 te tl,000 that O'Leary tieats Har- 
riman, and {3,000 to $1,000 on the neld against 
Harrlman. Kelly t Bliss have opened a Iwok on 
tbe evcDt, and oCTer tbe following : 75 against 100 
on O'Leary, 100 to 43 against Bowell, 3 to I agaliut 
Harrlman, and 10 to 1 against Ennto. The 
scoring In the contest will be attended to by 
members of the several amateur athletlo clnba 
in thto vicinity, each day's work twlng per- 
formed by a separate club. So tar as now 
known, the following arrangement to likely to 
IM made: Monday, New Tork Athletic Club; 
Tuesday, Brooklyn Athletic Club: Wednesday, 
Harlem Athletic Olub; Thursday, Sootttoh-Amer- 
Ican Athletic Club; Friday, Manhattan Athletic 
Olub; Saturday, American Athletic Olub. The 
floor laid down tor the Arlon festival will remain 
In plaoe during the walk, eo the conpetltore and 
spectators will not be annoyed with clouds at stl- 
ning dust. Special provision will be made tor the 
aooommodatlon ot ladies and their esoons during 
the oompedtlon, a portion ot tbe bnlldlng tieuig 

set apart for them, with offloers stationed so as 
to prevent the Intmslon ot other speetatoia. 
Smoking will tw prohibited in this port ot the gar- 
den. The track will be laid ont to suit the oom- 
peutors, and a dty-snrveyor will msssnre it In 
their pressnoe. and tarnish the manogan with a 
oertiOcate regarding Its length. The ratreah- 
ment privileges ot the garden for the w4Mk were 
let on Saturday evening. The bids were opened 
In preeenoe ot the oompetttoie. the award being 
to the bidder who offered $1,628.38. The next 
higbeet bidder was tl,soo, and the loweat t*60. 

'WKSTOK'S 'WAX.K. 
A cable dtopatch trom London, dated Feb. SB, 
says: "Weston, at halt-past eleven o'clock last 
night, left Windsor to walk measured mllee In an 
endeavor to regain hto arrears, havtng alxty-flvo 
miles to moke up. At twenty minutes past three 
o'dlockthto morning he had gained ntieen miles, 
wben he rested for three hoars for sleep, being 
overcome by fatigue. By ten minutes ot nine 
o'clock he hod added ten mllee to tito gains, leav- 
ing torty mUss ot arrears to make up. He will 
continue at bto task until four o'clock tbls after- 
noon, but it to not iMlleved he can encceed. Tie 
Standard says: 'There to no chance ot Weston 
flnlahlng hto pedestrian undertaklog on time.' 
A dispatch from Windsor says : 'Weston will lose 
by atmut five hours, but he will Onlsh walking 
2,O0U miles.' " Another dtopatch states tbat bto 
1,000 hours expired at 4.10 p. v., 28. when thedto- 
tonce walked was 1,977 K miles.

dell, who was' piepared for- something of the 
kind, pi^ented a nont of bress to this danger- 
ons atmcK. Bnt he did not orerdo his part. An 
excess of ifmoranoe has its dangers as well ^as 
an excess of emotion. IjiArdot was too well in-

'''Do you mean a noble gentleman of Ton-

•■ Ushmentin Paris, and who held a liigh position 

I at coort in 1788, or theroabonts?" 

\, "Thosame," answered Llardot, already a lit- 

II tie disconcerted by the boldness of his gneat. 

II "Oh, I remember him very well," said Can- 
IfdelL "He was a tall, stnidy, vigorous old man, 
who waa never seen abroad without the cord of 
the Order of St. lionls about his neck, and who

"Tw yes; bat his danghter" intatmpted U-

"Hisdauj^ter? I remember very little, if any-

and Uadame Latnhnlle. But, if I'm not mis- 
taken, I read In the Engllflh papere whfle I was 
abnak that the old Count was guillotined on 
the same day with Madame Elizabeth." ^ 

••Yes " said Liardot In a solemn tone ; "he had 
the honor of ascending the scaffold with a prln- 
oees of the royal bloooL" . ^ . , ' , 
"Tee- bnthlsdaughtar— what has become of 
her?" intralrod the Baron with an Innocence of

"I shall never atiaent myself unless yon are 
informed." 

■Ttut the name of your friend?" • 

"Oeorge Salviac, lieutenant of the Twenty-third 
Begiment of the line, dettiahad as a Junior aide- 
de-camp to OoDeml Bonaparte. He is in Paris on 
sick-leave, having been severely wounded in the 
lastUttle affair -with the Auatrlans." 

"SaWiao t Wasnt there a member of Oie 
Bevolutionary Convention of Qiat name?'' 

"Tes; he was guillotined with Banton. 
Geojge -was his only son." '• 

"His son I" cried Liardot, starting ' like a 
wounded lion. "And you have relied on'hiis 
son to find you lodgings?" 

"Tes." 

.^"Bnt this is Inexcusable tolly, monsieur. This 
Is putting the interests of our sacred oause at 
the mercy of one of our most bitter enemiee." 

"But George is a loyal soldier, and I believe 
him incapable of playing the spy, or belzsying 
anyone, and especially one who has done nim 
so great a service as L 'Why, I saved him from 
having his throat cnt in the Oarchy cafe. I 
wanant he 'will do as no harm ; and yoii know 
thiei life I have led for the past Ave years has 
given me a pretty clear undeistanding of men 
and character." 

"But you have not made the lieutenant of 
the upstart Bonaparte your confidant in the 
least degree, I hope?" 

"Of course not ; for it iB one of my prin- 
ciples never to tempt any man to do wrong. 
To Oeorge Salviac I am Charles Fougeray. 
Even his mother, a bitter Bepublioan, counten- 
ances me as a sort of half-'way, innocuous aris- 
tocrat" 

"But there is great danger and no chance of 
proflt to us in this connection." 

"No chance otpcofiC? 'Why, this young officer 
expects promotion to a captaincy, and intends 
Immediately aaUng a transfer to the Qnord of 
the Birectoitr now on duty in Paris. He told me 
so hlmsdf yesterday." 

"If this is true, there may be some advantage 
in this ac<{uaint^ce, but " 

"Of course if s true, every word of it Why, 
he's engaged to be married, and he will move 
heaven and earth to get a transfer to the gar- 
rison of Paris. The Jacobins will not refuse 
anything to an officer on the staff of the general 
who -wins victories, depend upon it" 

"Very well ;■ but if this Salvlao gets a com- 
mand in .the guard of the Directory he 'will be 
more dangerous than ever as an intimate asso- 
ciate — remember that" 

"Excuse me ; I don't 'view It in that 'way. 
Suppose some day our Black Bond decided to 
carry off the five potentates of the Luxembourg, 
do you not thluR it would be interesting to 
them to be informed of the slightest movement 
of the Directorial Guard that would be the only 
body standing between them and the success- 
ful accomplistunent of their plans?" 

"And do you flatter jouieelf that a brave and 
loyal soldier, ss you say he is, would confide 
his confidential orders to you?" 

"No, I do not think anything of the kind; 
but I could get everything from a third par^ 
from whom he would be sure to conceal noth^ 
tag." 

Liardot started and gnzed into Candcil's eyes 
03 if he would read his inmost thouf^ts. 

"His intended wife, you mean?" said he with 
a slight tremor in his voice — "his Intended wife, 
to whom he has been foolish enough to mtro- 
duce you." 

"Tes," said Candeil, thinking as be made the 
acknowledgment: "If he thtakslam bent on 
fascinating Therese, he will not suspect Chris- 
tisne." 

"I -will not deny," sold the speculator, "that 
there is a chance in that direction; but the 
means employed are very dangerous, and " 

"Come, now. you must adnut that our parlv 
stands ta need of forming some relations with 
a Republican general 'with tbe view of gatatag 
him over to the royal cause," said the Baron. 

"Of course, I acknowledge It" said Liardot; 
"and I will go farther. I will state it has be- 
come absolutely necessary that we should do 
so. We will never succeed until we have at our 
head a military chief ivlth enough renown and 
enough Influence to assnre us the support of 
the army. The experience of the Thirteenth 
Tendemlalre proves It Our men bore them- 
selves -well enough that day, but they were not 
properly led." 

"True for you," said Aymerie; "while the 
legionaries of the Convention had at their head 
a certain general, quite young and inexperi- 
enced, it & true, but one who has already 
made himself known tar and 'wide by no lees s 
feat of arms than the reoaptuie of Toulon from 
onr valiant friends the EngUah." - 

"Bonaparte, a beggariy seUlor of fortune, a 
man who arose from nothtngL .'who is nothing, 
and who has nothing but. hK sword and the 
mantle he wraps himself in.' It Is a sad reflec- 
tion, and yet it must be saldtliat to him we owe 
our defeat It was he who :n)owed' as down 
'withgrapeehot on the maiehes of St Booh." •■. 

"Well then, I see you are in a frame of mind 
to agree with me that if this same Bonspartt;. 
although a nobody, would consent to changtylth 
opinions, he would soon lead us to 'victory, a^w 
did the Jacobins." 

"Certelnly; bnt I doubt that this rough Oo«^' 
sican Is in the humor to put Mmtmif at our 
sarvlca?" 

"Do you think so? Dont yon imagine that 
his ambition would be satisfled with a guaranty 
of five or six thousand Uvres a year from the 
Sing's treasnryT" 

"Two years ago that might havs been pos- 
sible," said Liardot, "but staoe he has won ten 
battles in ten months, since he treate 'with Aus- 
tria flrst-handed, armed 'with all powers, this 
adventuror is no longer approachable." 

"Bahl The King, can command his price. 
He can go as tar as oestowingon him theriiler- 
shlp of a principality In some of the territories 
he has conquered. Whatcould'hS desire better 
than that, unless he desires -winning a regal 
crown?" said the Baron. 

"And why not?" said Liardot gravely. "IteU 
you, the ambition of this man is greater even 
than his wonderful good fotttune; and it -will be 
nothing less than a mlredje'S- he agree to sim- 
ply servo the good cause oranv other." ■ 

"Uiraole or no miracle, it will do no harm to 
try to convert him. If 'we dont sucoeed, we're 
no worse oft; but it we do, then the Dhreotory 
-wUI not stand ta our way a long time." 

"Such a temptation would have to be put 
delicately to a man like Bonaparte; for It he 
should refuse he might oomproihisa our entire 
movement and I know ot>|io person whooould 
take so important a duty on nimselt 'with any 
hope of snccesa." ' 

"No person? Why, heream I," said tbeBaron. 

"Tou 7" repeated Uardot. 

"Of course, 1. Bavent;! been tor the last 
fifteen minutes tiyllig to got at-that point In ex- 
plaining the adfwages of my aoqoalatanoe 
with George Salvl«>r* ,. 

"But suppose BoD^aite does net oome to 
Paris shorUy?" 

"Then there's nothing to prevent me going to 
his oamp with a letter of introdnotlon from 
George.' 

"Bnt 'Will be give you snoh a letter?" 

"Tes; he has already promised It I have 
professed the greatest admiration for the gen- 
eral, and expressed an a^ent desire to see and 
speak to him before I return to America. Bona- 
parte Isnt so great yet that he will refuse to re- 
ceive the homage of so abject a woishlpor of 
his genius as Ghariee Fougeray." 

.A long ailenae ensne<l. Liardot appeared 
deeply impressed by the atgumente advanoed bv 
Cbndeil, and he regarded his guest with a look 
of astonishment and apprehension. 

"Do yon know. Baron," said he, "I think yon 
were horn fora oonapirator?" 

**Or a dlplomiajlst, replied Aymerio gayly.

to settle the question of opportunity. But it it 
is decided that the chnnoe is favorable, will you 
undertake the mission?" 

"Of course. Why not?" 

A Btmnge light sparkled in Liordot's eyes. 
He lowered his voice to a deep whisper: 

"And you would have no regret In lea>'ing 
Paris?" 

"Ah— ha I" thought CandcU; "I understand 
him. The old man is not yet perfectly satisfied 
ta regard to his wife. Now or never is the mo- 
ment to end his suspicions." Then he answer- 
ed aloud : "'Why, Liardot, I thought you had a 
better opinion of me." 

"'What do you mean?" 

"Why, you seem to suppose thiit I fall in love 
'nith every woman I meet, and that I could not 
leave Pons without tearing myself by force from 
the embraces of a score of jades." 

"I confess I euspooted something of the land," 
said Liardot 

"Have no fear tor me on that ^coro. then. I 
love women, bat only as you love^the rare flow- 
ere in your oonservatonr — or the rich wines m 
your cellar, it you find the first compikrison too 
poetic." 

"And that means what?" 

"It means that a pair of bright eyee, though 
they were drowned In tears tor me, could not 
tempt me to swerve from my slightest duty to 
the King any more than your floweis could make 
you theu- slave." 

"Good I I imderstond you now." said the 
merchant, evidently delighted 'with this profes- 
sion of fulth. "I trill lay your proposition be- 
fore my colleagues to-night" 

"To-night?" repeated Aymerie, to whom the 
thought at once came that if Liaidot Intended 
to be abeent from home he might take advant- 
age of the fact to have an Interview with Ills 
-wife. .... 

"Tes ; we meet at midnight, and some definite 
action 'nill be taken at this session." 

"Shall I be informed of this action?" 

"Without a doubt I should take you with 
me were it not that I prefer to state your plans 
andplead your virtues in your absence." 

"Tes, I prefer It should l>e so," said Candeil. 
"Bnt when shall I see you again?" 

"Perhaps at your lodgings to-morrow morn- 
ing. Perhape, though, I may be detained here. 
In that event you 'will oome to the storehouse 
which opens on the quay. Ton 'will meet a 
dark who -will olfer to show yon samples of 
merohandlsa. Ton will say you wish to see 
Monsieur Nicholas. Bemember the name." 

"Have no tear. I have an excellent memory." 

"Well, the ol«irk 'will show you the 'way to 
enter my office unobserved." 
.."flood I" 

"And you 'wlil be ready to start on the mo- 
mmt'lf snoh is the order of the Band?" 

"Without delay and without resret" 

^'Tour hand." said Liardot, and the two men 
esohanged a firm grip; "and now it is time to 
return to my gueete, for they may Iw astonished 
at-iny long absence." 

"Tee," said Aymerie; "we have had time to 
examtae all the flowere ta creation." 

The conspirators retraced their steps. A 
rustUng was heard among the tropical plants 
near them. Lisjdot raised his voice: 

"My dear Charlee," said he, "you must not be 
too critical with my little oollection of flowere. 
We have not a southern sun ta Paris, you know." 

"No, but you have enough gold to make ujp 
tor if said Aymerio, "tor it seems like a viigta 
forest iere." 

"Forest or not" suddenly cried a coarse voice, 
as Margoutta, the batter speculator, burst 
through the shrubbery, "you devote too much 
time to it" 

"True," said Liardot ; " we have lingered long- 
er than I had tatended."

who has learned by heart Robespierre's blas- 
phemous disconise on heavenly things, and 
threatens to recite itto us from begtamng to end." 

"Mercy on ust" cried Aymerie. "Let us 
hasten to the relief of Madame Liardot" 

It -was time indeed, for poor Christians al- 
ready had the look of a poor martyr cast among 
savage beaste of prey. At the first sight of her 
husband she oast him a supplicating glance 
that -was full of meaning; but Aymerio songht 
ta-vata tocatoh her eye. This pereistent re- 
fusal to notice him seemed so strange that he 
was more flrmlyresolved than ever to pass 
through the Bue Bourbon at midnight to see it 
there -was not a light burning ta her window. An 
Immediate tatamew, it seemed to him was ta- 
dispensable, tor he'was very anxlousjto have an 
nnaeretandmg wlili her in regard to the new 
sitoatlon of affairs. ' Madame Liardot probably 
shored this desire; forjwhsn he' bowed before 
here in taking hie leecve she said, so low that 
none but he oould hear : 

"In on hourl most'^peak -with you." 

Otherwise sh^ did not depart ta the slightest 
from the glacial coldness which she had pre- 
served all the evening. 

Liardot shook his hand warmly and aooom- 
panied him to the door, whispering: "To-mor- 
row." The-menihant returned to his gueete, 
who did not seem taoUned to leave Just yet ; but 
Madame Liardot soon manitaBted a desire to 
retire to her own' apstments. This did not 
oooasion any eurtirlse, lor it was not often that 
the lady remained totne end of the entettota- 
ment. Truth to say, the company remaining 
were not displeased to see her going, staoe her 
preeenoo exeroised a great restiatat on them in 
both oonduot and topics of oonversation. 80 
this evening, when she arose to retire, the same 
sensation of pleasure spread through the oom- 
pany that ptevails ta'a sohoolroom when the, 
schoolmaster takes np' 1^ hat for a brief prom- 
enade out of doois. ~ 

Liardot himself was not displeased that she 
disappeared at so aariy an hour. Hehad import-

traughtstote of mind, hold out her hand as usual, 
and uardot bent over to perform the favorite 
riteof politeness of the eighteenth century: but 
Instaad of salnUng the tapering flngere with the 
customary kiss, his lips contracted sternly, and 
a hoaree, hnU-smothered cry escaped from bo- 
tweenthom. Atthesametlmehlsfaoebluncbod, 
his eyes became bloodshot,.and his Umbs trem- 
bled under him as it his heart had been pierced 
by the sword of a foeman. Christiane, absorbed 
in thoughte of her lover, did not notice the agita- 
tion of her husband. She bowed giaolonsly to 
her guests, and left the banqueUng-hAll vrith the 
gmce of a goddess returning to Olympus after 
ha-ring deigned to sojourn a. few momenta on

"What is the mutter, Linrdot?" cried Oriilord.

"The blood?"' repeated Liardbt'wlth a bewil-

it's in the blood." 

"I advise you to have youreelf bled ; and the 
sooner the bettor," advised Margoutta. 

But Liardot's malady 'was deeper than his 
friends hod any Idea of; for, as he leaned over 
to kiss his 'Wife's hand, he saw and recognized 
on her finger the ring, that the Baron Cnndell 
had t>oaght at the FaLsis Boyal on New-Tear's 
night as a prtssent tor his misDess. 



CHAPTBB X. 
WHAT CABASSON SAW AT UIDNTOIIT. 

An hour after this convivial soene the guests 
had all teken their departure; and Uardot con- 
Bumtagwith rxigo; hastened ito Uaf study and 

Esve way to his emotions. Up to this moment 
e had Men on the rack, compelled to bmr the 
agony that was gnavring at his heart, and yet 
wear a smiltag conntahance before his loiteruur 
gueste. But nowthejOAsk of tadUference fell 
from his features. Nothtag oould ' give an ade- 
quate idea of tbe utter misery of tns tmhappy 
man. His agitation was such that he Ibund ft 
difficult to open the secret door that let^ tato his 
cabinet He succeeded after great effort how- 
ever, and, throwing himself tatoa ohair, buried 
his face in his hands and wept like a child. No 
one could witness his (prlef. for the sanotuaiy 
In which he bad taken refuge waa loAOOeaalUe 
to anyone after he had fastened the seoret 
spring of the door, or rather doors, tor then 
were uiree means ot ingress and egress to this 
apartment. The ' first throngfa wmcfa he had 

I' oat passed, led to the nwepUon-rooma ot the 
iou8e:«the second opened on a seoret stair- 
case which oommunloated with tbe open stotss 
on the quay, and allowed the oonspiiatore ot 
the Black Band safe aooeea to him: the third; 
permitted the financier to descend dlreotly tato 
the vast garden that occupied the space between 
the quay and the former Bus Bonition. Thence 
he could gata onobeerved the detached wing of 
the buildings, whlcdiwas theysxdlilslve haliHsaon 
of his 'Wife, aid the same means Chifstiane 
might secretly enter the apaitments of the man 
whoee name sh» bore. Of all the IssoWfrom 
1^ cabtaet, however, this -was the leastiiused, 
Vr.the husband and wife rarely met except in a 
sort of official way ta the parior and the dintag- 
room. All the doore leading from this apart- 
ment were opened by an ingenious mechanism 
kno'wn only to the great conspirator, iriio retired 
to the secrecy of ttus well-guarded threat to plot 
and plan ta pollUos and commwce alike. From 
whatever direction a visltor^pdght appcpaoh 
his oabtaet, Liardot was wanugdnong before his 
arrival by the tinttling of an automatic bell, :8a 
that he had time to frame an excuse for not re- 
ceivtag the newcomer, or opportunity to escape 
before tbe newcomer oould roaoh-.tho door. It 
is needless to say that the secret slgnsil an- 
nouncing a visitor approaching' by. Oe passage 
leading from the garden was nnerS- cause for 
his retiremant, and never, OS Butnavisttoraoud 
be butone pereon who knew thewcret way, and

additional idvantage of being tavislble from

lection of solidly made trunks completed the 
fumituro of the room, if wo exdept Liardot's 
desk and hrmchnir, which were,- Indeed, quite 
in keeping with the rest. 

This retnuit, whom nothtag bod been sacri- 
ficed to comfort might very readily have served 
as the.oell of a Benudictmo. . But a number ot 
sabres and pistols piled In a corner of the room 
and several poniards lying about on the chalre 
and -writlng-tablo somewhat modified the sever- 
ity of ite religious appeaianoo. There 'were 
enough arms In the llttln room to have mata- 
tained a siege, and tliis night-au observer would 
have thought that Liardot was preparing to re- 
pel on assault on his stronghold, tor his com- 
pressed II ps and frowntag brow expressed a des- 
perate resolution. At Urst hehadglven ^-ay to 
grief and tnatu, but now he ralsod his head and

Suddenly he passed his hand across bis brow 
as if to drive away the terrible thought^ that 
had taken possession of his bratn, and, rising to 
his feot, he began pactag the little room to and 
fro. The apartment was illumined l>y a lamp 
which his trusty servant lighted evoiy evening, 
and which bumod till the morning cnme. The 
dark shadow of Christiane's husband crept 
along the oaken panels after him like a phan- 
tom ot the night But the gloom of the situa- 
tion harmonized with the buck thoughte ti ^^t 
were besieging his brain, and the most torxible 
of all human passions to which he -was a victim

But he, bom the verv flret loved Christiane,

beauteous Idolslietore which enthusiasts devout- 
ly bow. ; , . 

So, ta theahnpUol^ ot his heart, Uardot had 
found everything: oontzibuting to sustata his 
error and to 'pnloiig the illusive hopes he had 
conjured up. ".OHen hod Liardot brou^ her 
tato the comjpany of the meet winning and 
polished cavUlen of the fashionable worid ot 
the time, but she had received their homage 
with greater ooldness than she manifested tor 
him. There was this difference, however; when 
JS worshiped, she listened, but did not reply; 
but when the gay tascinatora of the hea>t mtmda 
flattered about her, there was oontempt as well 
as coldness ta her replying looks. 

Liardot did not fall to remark the difference 
ta his tavor ot the treatment aooorded by his 
queen to him as compared 'with that given his bs- 
olnating visitors. Inspired thus by hope, he did 
not sWve to break down her aristooratio pride 
that she might descend to his level. On the con- 
trary, he secreUy strove to lift himself to her 
plane. He made himself the chief of the consplr- 
acytabehAlfofthe Eln^.'an'd 'devoted all his en- 
ergies to It His Me^eefy, onoe plaoed firmly on 
the throne by the offloere of t&e Blaok Band, 
could not refuse any reasonable favor to tto ohlef. 
That chief was Liaidot He was already fab- 
ulously rich, and money oould not repay him 
tor his serrices. 'What would he ask? A tiUe 
of nobility, to make him the equal ot Clirlstlane. 
Then be 'was sure she 'would be his. This was 
the ddnslon thatOie Stmple-hearted man had 
been huggtag to hla bosom.- .This was what 
he had been woiklii|r toRilBIrt and day. "This 
'was what urged hlm%> bia.'Ve^'B gutlloUne and 
make his life an agonyot tnfl thst he might be 
a nobleman- and poaa o ao the money to support 
as a nobleman should the high-born lady of his 
heart . ' ' 

If. lie had known that at the very time he pro- 
posed' to save Oiristlane from death by giving 
her his name, she had already been fortwo yeus 
the betrothed of the Baron Candeil, he migfatnot 
have been«o eager to speoulato for a proflt ta 
love matt«»as hehkAdone ; but Christlane'had 
carefully preaarred Iwc seoret and he had been 
spared the ^terrlblQijlMsenchantment up to this 
time. She bad be^n told that Candeil had died 
with his father' oh the guillottae. and she was 
too proud to explatathe secrete ot her life to the 
menial she had' wed. Later, when she learned 
that the Baioh lived, sad Siat he''stU loved her 
she had not thb courage to tell hei> husband ol 
the taata, but consoled heiseUWlththe oonclons- 
ness o t her purity of mtad and her faithful ob- 
servanoe of the honorable undetstandtag which 
Bho supposed to exist between her and the man 
whose name she bore. 




This warihS sttd^bn o^dbln vvhsh, like a 
kj/underbblt: to -the ontad of Liardot, came the 
Mock of the dlsooveiy of the accusing rtag. 
Rpw.at last the .poor stewaidoonld not doubt

increased, tbe prices went np, and occasionally S' 
,°fbw pounds. were added IbT a prologue to some new 
pl4y. The anthora, howevek-, were iieiietally allowed. 



The hlstoTv of EnsUsh atage-plajscan be traced as 
Ihr back as the middle of the sixteenth centuiy, when 
they were llisttatroduced by the clerny, not toatntwe 
the pabllc, but te Instrnct them in the scriptoral 
stories as taught In the Bible. The miracle plays, as 
acted In the churches and oonvents, under the im- 
mediate direction ot the cIerB7. was the earliest form 
of the Eoglish drama. The parts choaen were the 
most Bcmdng stories, such as the cieatton, craoUx- 
lon, delaRe, uU of man, etc., and these were drama- 
tized with little regard to the sacred and awlhl nature 
of tbem. The actors generally occupied during the 
play a ktad of Qrlple stage, one built above another. 
The topmost one was occupied by those who repre- 
sented the Almighty, snrronnded by bis angels; the 
next, t>y those who personated the redeemed; upon 
the lowest were those who played the pan of the 
world, showing the deeds of men, and near by burnt 
a great Are, wlilch represented the lower regtona. 
All these ImlteUons were bad enough, tnit the worst 
remains te be told; for the veiy ones who gathered 
here to be taogbt woald yawn and sleep until ap- 
peared that which we now term the "star," who iras 
no other than the Piinee of Darkness, whose capere 
and rongh Jokes keptthem amuAcd. Instead of awed, 
as 'was tatended by the playeis. 'We see ftom this that 
the amount of morally learned b.T the audience who 
gathered aroand euch actors could not have been 
much; but we mnat reopect te oome extent the an- 
tbom who produced them, as they were doubtless 
HerlooH enough In their Intentloiui. 

Uut gradually theiie miracle plnys< changed Into 
what was called moral plays, which formed the sec-, 
ond Plage of the EngURh dromn; and. In.itead of 
Kciiptural charocteis, we find abstract quallUea per- 
Honlfled Htrutting about the stage ta varied gar- 
ments— Koah, Abnthnm and Darid had been super- 
seded by Josuoe, Mercy and Ylce. This second clasi 
of plays were genenuly acted by Btudenis, school 
boys and men-of-the-town upon pnbllc days, state 
occaalonn and the Ulce. An open BcalTold, erected ta 
some public place, served a.1 a stage, and upon It, as 
we read, such pieces as "Hit the Nail on ' the Head." 
"The Hog Hath Lost Its Pearl," etc, vrere acted. 
Tbe tun then moat relUhed consisted ta calling bad 
names, hitting the hardest blowji, etc.. In wtilch the 
Deril and Vice were often prominent charecteis, the 
former always proving triumphant at the close. 
And thus It Is that our two branches of Btnge-drama 
sprtag (torn the .same root Horalitv, broken In two, 
mipplfm the elements for both— Its Herlous part for 
English tragedy, and Its lighter for comedy. 

The first play deserving of the name of comedy 
that bLstoiy has ac4inalnt«^ n» -with was 'written 
about the middle of. Ihe-aUMntli eentniy.. . It wan- 
caned *1lBrph RByBterDoyWCT'," and Was a dmraatic 
picture of London 111^ The old British stoiy of 
"Fenex and Ponex," dramatized by SaclniUe and 
Norton, and acted In isei by the stodenu of the 
Temple, Is cunnldered the earliest treged.v In the lan- 
guage. Alter these fbllow others of plmllar charac- 
ter. In whlch the trne hnman character Ls dliitlncily 
portrayed, taxtead of those walldntr allegoilei thai 
trod the moral stage; and this forma one of the 
grand and distinctive features marking the progress 
of tbe Engllsb drama. The changing of the poppet 
for aesb and blood altered the tesnes entirely. The 
theatre ceased to be a place of duty, and liecame a 
place of icAort. The audiences no longer sat un- 
moved, but began to feel with the playem. wben 
marrlaiies were managed, crimes perpetrated, sof. 
rertags endnted, and difflcultles overcome by the 
actors, wbo hore tbe names and did the deeds of 
men. The audlencee were roused np and laughed 
and wept not 'with the performenee, bnt with the 
performere. And thus In a few yeare the rapid 
strides of the Btage-acter soon reached themagnlfl- 
cent productions or the Immortal Shakespeare. Not 
a half centnry later we find Elizabeth and her maids 
of honor assembled te laugh at the mislbrtones ot 
poor Jack Faislair, and te tremble at the Itaest 
scenes the stage ever saw. 

Bat while we see the grand strides the playwriters 
are making, we mnat not soppose that the stage 
kept np with the play; for even now, two hnndred 
yean later, at least two-thirds of our theatres are 
either too small or are badly arranged. On the con- 
trary, the stages on which the first Shakespearian 
plays were acted were simply little platforma. Often 
the stage 'was set np In the conrtjard of an tan, a 
wooden shed sheltering the andlence and players. 
The tnt licensed theatre ta London -waa set np at 
Blacktriar's In the year ISSl, and consisted of a sta- 
gle fence tacloetag the audience, the Btage being the 
only sheltered part, and that t>y a simple thatohed 
root The tret attempts at acejury at rach leading 
theatres as the Olobe and the Sose were very 
meagre. Some ihded tapestry or poorly daubed 
canvas 'was hong anund ue tlmheis of the stage, 
at the back of which ran a gaOery, eight or ten feet 
high, to bold those actors who might be snpposed 
to speak ttom castle-wtndows, wans, tilgh roeks, or 
other lofty iilaoes. A change of scene was denoted 
by hangtag out In'vlew of tbe andlence a placard on 
which the name of the plaoe— Rome, Athens, or Lon- 
doD— was painted. A farther Btietch of imssinatlon 
was required from the ssaemblv when the removal 
of a dtiwy thione and the aetttag-down of a rongh 
table with drtnktag-veaaels -was supposed tochaiige 
a polaoe tato a tavern; or the axchange of a paste- 
board rock fbr a thorn-banh -was expected to delade 
all tato the tiellef that they saw a pubUcahow, no 
longer Imt a leafy fbtest An exquisite comical mtiB- 
tiatlon of the acenle poverty or the times may lie 
foond ta tbe scene of "A HidBummer-nlght's Dream," 
where the tradesmen of Athens rehearse a play. 
Funny as It may seem, it Is no doubt a true picture 
nr drruDutancca ttiat snrronnded the first plays. 
The play of "Pyramna and Thlslie" requires tne ta- 
troducnon of a wall on the stage, that the ancient 
lovers may whisper throagh a chink ta Its masonry; 
so Snout the tinker la daubed with plaster, and, 
coming on the stage, announces to the audience 
that he Is the wall, and for a chink he'forms with his 
thumb and forefinger a cinle, through which the 
sppotatment to meetatKlnny-tomb Is made. Then, 
'wlih a lantern, a dog and a bush, ta comes one who 
calls himself the man in the moon, and proceeds to 
llxbt the midnight scene. An nnbelleriog American 
critic of the present day would probably suggest 
that It would look tiettar for the man to get ta the 
lantern, as the man canyOig the moon ta which he 
Uved was liable to cause a vonfuslon of ideas. Such 
Is the picture that Shakespeare has presented to us 
as one that he dally nitiesSed during his residence 
ta Londoh. !^ 

The Ume for pertbrding dUKred ftom the present 
ta - that it -was generally fixed at one o'clock ta the 
day, and a fbw momenta prior to It the play.fiag 
could 'be seeii daily, Sunday excepted, floating ftom 
the roof of the playhotue, and announcing that the 
periormanoe 'was abont M begin. Placard!) had al- 
ready told the public what the play -was to be. The 
theatre patrons, as no w, consisted of various classes, 
the gnnndltags and gallants hetngthe most promi- 
nent The first occupied the pit ta ttont wtuch re- 
semtiled a pandemonlnm more than anything else. 
There the soiapea of all classes met to amoke and 
drink; nor did the gaUauta, who paid their sixpence 
to alt on the stage, show much better breeding tnan 
the mthy, notay plt-fsllows. Tells and oaths, loteo-. 
co-smoke, and varioos other fames formed the main 
atmosphere which surroimded the oshertag-ta of 
onr noblest plsys tato fhme. The trumpet sounded, 
after which the pralogae 'was read, and uen tbe play 
began; and If Ite early seanes did not salt the &flte 
of the andlence a storm of nolHes srose. hisses, yells, 
caucalla, cock^ruwlng, and-wblstltag drowned the 
actor s voice and stopped the prosreaa of the play. 
The SctoiB were attired ta the costomes of their 
own day, and played ta masked wlgs,andthe female 
parte, rach as the Vlolaa, Portias and Rosalinda were 
fiUad ■ by smooth-fSoed yoang men in women's 
dros. The idays consumed abont three hours, 
and the audience went home to an eariy anpper. 
The BDCCSBS of an actor depended not entirely on 
blB acting, but also on his ability to writs: Such 
men as Ben Jonson and Ohapman earned many a 
nhuiing to buy their steaks and ale with by acting, 
as' well as by -writing for llie stage. The actors 
Went then, as now, ta companies; and they played

The last-named company closed a brief Beaaoa ta

as a cause. That pleasant record of the lug-book has 
not come thningh good luck alone. It haa been 
written largely with the pen of honest effort dipped 
In the Ink of unwavering patience. The Cutpkb 
did not glide at once Into the placid waters of snc- 
cesa, bot was guided there throngti tempestootiB 
seaa, and after breasting the Btormi of advetM lUe. 
Pluck and energy and perseverance -were needed to 
keep the vessel In ber course, and it is morally cer- 
tain that without these qualltlesahe woold have gone 
to pieces on the rocks of disaster. The success 
which has attended her ctrUae baa, pertiapm been 
due moie to this one teot than.- to any other — 
Tbb Cuppbb bas never lost sight of the purpoae for 
which it waa originally founded. It la tbU holding 
fast to a well-deflned aim that compels sncceaa. We 
entered a Held which had never before been occu- 
pied by »as Journal In this country, and for twenty- 
six years we have been content to labor In that field. 
At Omt there were not vrontlog ihose who confidently 
informed us that the soil we ondertook to cifltlTate 
was shockingly barren, that at best nothing but this- 
tles could be forced to grow, and that we would have 
our labor for our pains. Afterwards, wlien a modeiat e 
harvest began to be reaped, and some uf tbe tblsUea 
had turned Into golden grain, there C4me a small 
army of laborers Into the fleM to help In tilling this 
same unproductive solL As, In the case of those who 
prophesied fUlure, we thanked them and went atmut 
our woric, so when otbeni came to share In the IMts 
Of the field we bad opened up we never sought by 
Uhmably means to Injure tliem. If, at this riper 
age, they can look back opon tbelr efforts with as 
much gatlsbctlon as we do upon ours, it will cause ua 
not a twlDge of envy. On the contrary, we staafl re- 
joice In their protipcrlt;, Just as It would pleaK us to 
believe that they rejoice now la ouni. 

The time has long pa-ssed when anything Uko an 
apology was needed fur the C-Ylsicnce of this paper. 
Tbe objects to which It 13 especially devoted have 
emeiged nom that onjiut shadow Into which they 
weie cast by oarrow-mlnded bigotry. Xo htw of to- 
daly makes the actor a vagabond or the attilete a 
ruiuan. The . stage stands forth as an Instmment of 
civilization, recognized not only as a necessity, but 
also as a benefit: The Tttlmages and Agnews of our 
time may bray a little more now and then, but they 
do absolutely no harm, because they utteriy Ihll to 
renect public sentiment. As for the wlde-epread 
popularity which all outdoor sports enjoy, the tkct, 
we think. Is to be accounted fur on the theoty that 
common sense has Incteased amazingly of late. 
Else why do even cor strictest preacheta and onr 
gravest eollege-prafesson) often countenance and 
Bometlmea openly advocate those veiy sports which 
were once so openly coudemed? Xo; The Cup- 
per nee<ls no apology for Its existence. It U 
tbe recognized organ of the dramatic profes- 
sion, as It la tbe earnest promoter of all man 
Ij sports. For . mote than a wore of yean it 
has labored unceasingly to advance tbe Inter- 
eats of the stage, and at the same time to oilng ath- 
letic games Into wider public favor. How far Its 
efforts have t>een soceessftil we must leave for othen 
to decide. In the fonbcomlng volume It will be the 
aim of the editor, aa It has always been In the past, 
to make the' contents of tbe paper accurate, trust- 
worthy and entertaining. Beyond this simple state, 
ment we have no prellminaiy aimoiucements 
wherewith to startle our readers. The policy of 
promising great things has never been adopted in 
this ofllce. So far as It lies within our power, the 
twenty-seventh volume of The Cuppeb shall In no 
respect fall below the standard of Its predecessors. 
We may even entertain some Ideas aa to mawng it 
superior to any of the previous volumes; but If we 
du, we prefer to cany out those Ideas qoletly. In the 
full belief that all Improvement will be promptly ap- 
preciated. It may be safely ossmned that the caigo 
on the current voyage will be selected with as mnch 
care as In tbe past, that It will be as varied In Its 
character, and that Its weekly delivery -will continue 
to be onr pleasantest. If most exm-tlng, duty. In 
every department which has come to be a featnre of 
the paper the same thoroughness and accuracy wUl 
be maintained as beretofoie. Strict Impartiality In 
dealing with all questions, entire neeaom Itom per- 
sonal prejudice, and a sincere deabe.tovtvance those 
intetests wblcb It advocates will, as In tbe past, 
dlsUngnlab tbe paper. With a bomptete sommaiy 
of theatric events and all sbownetn^' there will be 
foimd the freshest Intelligence boncenilng baseball, 
pedestilanlsm, tbe torf, the oar, and ,gll other out- 
door sports. Billiards, chess and checkers wUl not 
be neglected; and these solid meats of the cargo wU 
be sea8onal)Iy spiced wldi fiction, poetry, and editor- 
ial discussions. 

Success Is always pleasant. Pettaps that Is why 
the futnre of Tbe CurrcB never seemed to us more 
fUll of promise than it does to-day. Buoyantly she 
sails forth upon her twenty-seventh aimual voyage. 
80 many are the friends that crowd her deck, we 
cannot hope to muster them alL Bhe Is manned by 
a larger crew than ever before, and one, perfaapst 
better fitted to make her sail her prettiest- If slie 
does that, she will not, we hope, disappoint hi.r 
thonsands of well-wlsbers. 



TBB KIIiUBM OF: rOBTEB. 

Two gentlemen and a lady— tbe words arensed 
advlsedly-entrfX™"!'^'*^ nlgWrliMs lpwi» of 
Kaiahall, TtxSitaA dPdttwv qotMy-toMther to 
loBch. ' A \atMl&eeaikkia*aoiaikfB 
ance'la The plaoii^ttBB hUil)tood with more whtikey, 
appUes Inanltlng *qitUHii^ >t6^ the lady, and,' In re- 
sponse to the proteatB <tf 'Her companUws, dnw* a 
pistol, abooiB one tfilHm ^eadand Bailoosly-wonnda 
tbeottter. Bad dW'':vlcilm of this hnitai and cow- 
ardly assault tieen as greata rufflan aa his mttrderer, 
the manner of his destb most stm have aroused pnl>- 
Uc Indlgnatton. As It la, instead of a rufflan, he was 
one of the moat 'widely popniar men In his profes- 
sion; so that his nntlmely Ihte has naturally excited 
Intense feeling, not only of resentment towards tbe 
murderer, but of sympathy for the Ikmlly and friends 
of tbe dead actor. . 

From all the teiwrts that have reached as of this 
most deplorable event. It appears that there was not 
a shadow of an excuse far the attack made by the 
desperado. It was a oold-blooded, anprovoked. 
oowanlly murder. Nor could any human' fbnalght 
bave averted, apparently, the Hlwyklng oectmence. 
Mr. Porter did not thrust himself Into danger. He 
did not Invite a qoaneL On the contrary, beseems 
to have done all that he could honoiably do to pie- 
veni a ooUIstoa with the rimian, whUe'he still sought 
to stand by hla- 'ilend Mr. Banymore, and .to. pro- 
tect tbe lady lipder their charge. If the patty bwl 
Seen In convtdil mood, U tberehad been boisterous 
hilarity demonstiatlons of any kind to attract the 
attention of omen; we can imderstand how the man 
Conle might bave been prompted to pass comment 
upon-the n^ranfleni; but aa It wa^ Ur: Fbri«r ahd his 
friends conducted themselvea with the strictest pro- 
priety, and, even after Currie had begun hla abusive 
attaok, did tbelr ntmoat to prevent the fatal Issue. 
It la natural, although perhaps nseless, to denotmce 
such 'wretches as this Carrie, and to exhaust the Eng- 
lish vocabolaiy In describing the bmtallly of tbelr na- 
tures. It Is eqiaUy natural, and by no means useless, 
to demand, lit Ol^niM^ that speedy punishment shall 
follow the crime; and tjiat the law shall be Invoked to 
Its fullest extent In bringing the criminal to Juatlce, 
If any lesson Is to be diawn from tbe tragedy, It Is 
one of warning. It Is a lesson for the public nther 
than for the profession. Time and again baattils 
Journal called attention to tbe Insults and groas mls- 
repiesentalluns to which women of the stage are 
subjected. The opinion seems largely to obtain, and 
that, too, athong many otherwise Intelligent persons, 
that the private aiDilis of an actress are as legitimate 
a matter for criticism as her elocution and acting. 
In other words, no distinction Is drawn between the 
artist and tbe woman. Between strictures upon ber 
Lady Teazle and praises of her Juliet we find sand- 
wiched an account of domeatlc troubles, or doubtful 
alliances, or personal peculiarities. All this Is as un- 
just as itIspemlutouM. Tbe moment tbe actress steps 
fTomthe stage and assumes the character of a private 
lady, she should no more be made the object of crit- 
icism than any other private lady. Her art Is 
sometlilng which the public has a right to dlscnas; 
hot her personal affhlts, so long as she does not her- 
self obtrude them opon the worid, sboald be held 
inviolate. It Is b«r pilsroitone, If you piewe, that 
Bbe most exett herself oh the stage to satisfy all 
rlamifn wbo pay their money to kc and bear ber; 
bot It is ber glory that, when she stepa off tbe 
stage and assumes her own character, she may 
bold bersdtf aloof IVom all poUotlng assoclatloua 
This la the Ihct which Currie and other radians 
of his stamp should be made to understand. In 
tils own coarse and vulgar way the Uatsball 
desperado availed himself of what, no doubt, 
he regarded as a lawlul privilege — the right to 
lusnll an actress. Others of a- trine finer grain 
would have offered tbe Insult differently, perhaps by 
a brazen stare, perliaps by an inslnuutlan, rather 
than naked speech. But the motive would have 
been the same. In either case. It would have been 
the duty of a gentleman to protect the lady under 
hLi charge from such giatultons insult. 

Here, tbeo, Is the lesson of Ihe trage<ly. In at- 
tempting to afford such protection, Ben Porter paid 
the penalty of bis life. He was shot down by a 
drunken desperado, wbo could not have harbored 
any ill will against a man be had probably never seen 
before— shot down because he presumed to question 
Mr. James Currie's tight to Insult a lady. Mr. James 
Currie, it la to be hoped, will learn before long that 
the ladles uf the stage are not proper subjects for at- 
tacks by rufilans of his class.

mile In his peculiar style until twenty wms reourded 
and he was (230 ricker. Time, 2h. 9m. Sil>i's. which 
Is his best authentic record for the distance. At the dose 
he did not exhibit any symptoms of fatigue, and when oc- 
casion demands he should be able to cut down these fig- 
ures by several minutes. The track waa the same as that 
used at the stx^iay wslk. fteshly cnsted with saadust, and 
was In flnt-rate condition. The curbing which waa there 
during the Interaatlnnal coolest had tieeu removed; butas 
the runnen kept well out wliUe going along the straight 
and K'ere prevented by obstades Irom getting too dose on 
the curve, it may be accepted aa a fkct that the winnera 
corered the fbll olstanees. Simpson,. Ralne and Taylor In 
succession came Into slight contact with the obstacle placed 
at tbe southeast comer uf the track, but the collision did 
nut throw cither out of his stride.

Charles Rowell is not to be permitted to long eiOoy un- 
disturbed the fruits of hla recent victory over tbe thn e 
American reoresenlatlres In the Interoational contest for 
the belt which was twice won by Daniel O'Laaiy, and la 
now to be taken back to London by the English athlete. 
We alluded last week to a cablegram tnm Sir John Aatley, 



May 5 had been set by the promoterfor the next contest, 
and expressed the belief that the latter>a wishes in tbe 
matter would be compiled with. It transpires that 
Eonls had verbally cbaUenged BoweU on the track, 
on Mareh 14. and on that accuont' claimed priority over 
Wetton: and, a* Bowell considered May 6 too soon to 
engage In another rach trying contest, cable dlspatchc* 
passed between Sir John and Mr. Atkinson, the upshot id 
which was that, on March 20, a meeting was held at tbe 
Ashland House, at which the rollowlstg agreement waa 
drawn up aod signed by Bowell aud Ennls, each of wbon 
posted tlie ncceaiary amount ofmooey with Mr. AtlilBBw: '

- EjTetyttiliiff Beems to gtre piomlK or a very enc- 
ceoiftil tesebeH seuon for we Smnmer of 1879. 
Bostneas piospecta are Mgtiter Uian tliey have t)«en 
since tlie Hme prior to tlie panic of 1873; and encb a 
furor for athletic sports acDerallT ptevslla Uuongb- 
oat the land that the pnreealonal class of the lase- 
haQ tratemltr should reap their share of the peca- 
nlairpTollt which' is likely to accmefrem It. Un- 
dooMedJy the ataactive lleld-epoit of this coonar 
in Sammer Is the national game of baseball, and 
wbeierer or whenever It Is played in lU IntefTltr It 
will command a Qbenil patronage. There la not the 
least doatit that with more moderate charges for ad- 
mtoolon to professional gronnds, and the easnianee 
at ttumnsti honest; In play, there win come a le- 
tom of the liberal paiiDiiage bestowed on the gome 
when the old cttampton Bed Stocddnj^ of CfaKlnnaH 
were in the height of their career. In IMS. 

In glancing over the arransements made for the 
profeastonal campaign of 1879, it wlU be seen that 
moie complete ptepanuioiui have been made for a 
saccasafhl one by the several conte^lng dobs of 
the two assoclauons than ever before. As br as 
the National Association U eoncemed, the anaDKe- 
mentB for the pennant campaign of 1879 are £bx 
ahead of those or any ptevlona year since the Asso- 
catlon was organized. This year the dnbe entering 
the Bational champlonahlp arena possess strong 
teams, well supported by parties who win see that 
there is no such bacUng-oat process Indnlged In as 
then was lastseason. In this respect this yearsees the 
two associations on an eqoal footing. Hitherto— with 
one season's ezoeptlaD — the Leagne hashad adeclded 
advantage In having elate that tiave carried oot their 
programmes to the playing of the last games on the 
sebeibile. Thlswason there wm befoarlasaes to be 
deddad in the nroreslnLal aiou. First, the cham- 
pionaUp of the Leagne; secondly, that of the Nation- 
al Association; thlnlly, the championship of the 
West; and tonrthly, thatof the East. As regards the 
contest between the Esst and the West, in what 
may be called the arena of a "committee of the 
whole," that can scarcely be said to be an Issne, In- 
asmuch as the Eastern section has shown each sn- 
neiiotliy hitherto tliat close livaliydoes notezlgt. 
BoMon won the League championship In 1878, and 
Bnllalo that of the National Association. whUeCln- 
dnnad bore off the palm In the West and Boston In 
the EasL What the result win be this season is, of 
comae, an Bonnlse.' Though It cannot be said that 
the eight Leagoe-clnb teams of 1879 are as equally 
matohed at the start as the sis of .1878 were, they 
are 8tni of sufficient eiinallty of strength to make the 
animate iasue of the campaign jDstas much a matter 
of doubt as that of last season. There Is one pecollar- 
iqr, however, abont the teams of 1879 which makes 
them somewhat excepttonal, and that is the marked 
eqoaUty In aU the eaaentlalii of saccess of the three 
teama of Boston, Providence and ClndnnatL Hare- 
over, there Is a special and local Issue between two 
of tbeee three teams which makes their positions as 
rtval ooniestanB In the League arena one peculiarly 
excepdonal. and that la the personality of the rivalry 
between the teams captained by the brotheis 
Hany and Geoige Wright. From some canse or 
other the hsppy-Hunlly arrangement between these 
two noted bascbaU profearionala, which prevailed 
lh>ra their entree Into baseball profeaslonaliam 
imtO 1877, has been Interfered with to an extent 
which baa led them Into oppo8ti;g teams. Ofconne 
thla paisonal rlvaliy has Its following, Boston back- 
ing up Harry and Providence George. This has led 
to the special position which these Leagne-elub 
teams now occupy, and It Is one which bids fair to 
make tbelr local contests of more importance as to 
the final result than even their Joint stnuale for the 
LMgne pennant. In other wonis. Providence will 
be quite content to see Boston carry oir the pennant. 
If nwldenoe cannot do It, inrovlded that in the light 
for It Providence IndtvldoaUy whips Boston. There- 
fore, If the Boston team wins a majority of the 
Leagne games In 1879, and the Providence team 
wins six of the ten games they have to play with the 
Boston team In the peimant series. Providence will 
n^wtth their hats and shout as lustily as if they 
themselves had won the pennant The contests, 
therefore, between Hany'a Boston team and Geome's 
Providence team wUl be an exceptional series of 
matches and games likely to draw larger crowds 
than have before been seen on their respective 
grounds. 

Tlie season of 1879 wUI see the old Boston Clnb's 
cbamnlon team scatteted East and West, North 
and Sonth. The old team were White, Spald- 
ing; Bamea, UcTey, Soliaier, George Wright, Leon- 
ard, O'Roorke and "»""'"g Cincinnati in the West 
takes White, Barnes and MoVey: Chicago retains 
Spalding; Providence has George Wright and 
0*Roorte; and Albany has captured Leonard. Man- 
ning and Schafer. To replace these Uany Wright 
has an inHeld team which has trained together— 
with one e.^ceptlon— for a whole season, viz., Sny- 
der, Bond, Uorrlll, Burdock and Sntton. The others 
are entirely new men. and to this extent the team Is 
neoesKarUy weaker than Its predecessor. Provi- 
dence has a new team, which has been stlcngthened 
since 1878 Just where It was weakest, viz., captain 
and Bhart«top. Clndnnatl, too. has been greatly 
Improved ta a weak spot, end that was Its want of a 
team working In harmony together. AU three of 
these teams are to a certain extent experimental 
nines, but not to the degree requiring a whole seas- 
on's i))ay to get them Into working order, as all of 
the Leagne nines of 1878 were except the Boston. 
It may, therefore, be Ihlrly said that it is a square 
toas-np A to which of thefie three wOI take the lead 
In aie pennant race by next September. 

As for the other Leagne nines there Is Uttie to choose 
between fonr of them as to their chances for tilling 
op the gaps left by the three above named. Chicago 
has a list of strong playets, but the management 
does iMt promise a more succcssfbl issue than Hie 
dub reached In 187$, nor Is It more likely to be a 
team that wUl work lietter In harness than Its prede- 
cessor. That it wlU be closely fallowed np by the 
BoUhlo and ByrBcane, If not by the Troy, Is very 
llkdy. An fbr Cleveland, It has to be said that It Is 
the most expertmental team of the whole. 

In the Nadonal arena It Is not easy to point out 
the teams which promise to take the lead. The 
fiialngBeld Is kwked upon as the most promising. 
Tbowlsthlato be sold about them— this yearwUI 
see Ferguson their captain. In fbU command of the 
nine; and if he docs not succeed better than he did 
In Chicago lie cannot faU lack on the excuse he had 
last season, which was that the boss of the Chicago 
Club Interfered too much with his position as man- 
ager. The National teams are oU pretty equal In one 
thing, and that Is they are pretty much experimen^ 
a), requiring half a season's play together to get 
them mto lighting trim. Take It altogether, the out- 
look ror a brilliant Reason's play Is excellent; and the 
protBSBlonals may justly look forward to more satis- 
lactoiy Tesults than they have had for some seasons 
pest.

of the club. It Is exceedingly doubtful whether 
anything can be recovered, as similar stills have 
been prosecuted against the Baltlmores, Phlladel- 

pblas and Athletics with hot barren results This 

year's Chlcsgo team will present a veiy variegated 
appearance on the balt-fleid. If we credit the state- 
ment made by a local jonmal to the effect that "each

senting respectively the npper and lower sections of 
Philadelphia, was played March 20, on the inclosed 
ground at Twenty-fourth street and Ridge avenue, as 
a complimentary benefit to Charles Mason, a worthy 
young player who had guarded first base for the Ath- 
letics last year, and who Is now laid op by sickness. 
Tbe players Included WUIIammn. ScbalDir und Hor- 
bldge of tbe Chicagos; Richardson and Crowley of 
the BniliiiloA; HcGcaryand Hague of the rrovldenccii; 
Dnnlap and Rocap of the Albanys: Bnulley and 
Manager PhllUps of the Troys; Warner of the Clevc- 
lands; Knlghi of the Worcestera; and WUey of the 
AthleHcA. Of the announced nines, Fulmcr. LatT 
and Myers of the Downtown, and Stovey. Richmond 
and Creamer of Uptown were coniiiilcnoua by 
reason of Ibelr absence. Notwlth-ilandlng the ctillly 
aspect of the weather, the attendance was good, the 
giand-stand being fiUed. and the liveliest Interest 
taken In the game, which residted In a victory for 
Uptown, thus reversing tbe result of the first eon- 
test and necessitating an additional one. The ground 
was In rather poor condition, which wlU account in 
a measure for the comparatively large scoro made 
by each nine: the battinjr. however, bclnjr excellent 
throughout, Warner and Williamson exceUIng In that 
respect, the former being credited with a couple of 
two-baseis, one of which ttrought home two men In 
the first inning. Dnnlap's second-tiase play, Wil- 
liamson's catching, and a splendid nmnlng-catch at 
left-field by Crowley were the noteworthy fielding fea- 
tures of this game, the score of which we give below

A FAST lAJDT-WAIiKER. 

Below we publish an account taken from TheHuO- 
son (S. Y.) SemMtcan of a fifty-mile walk made 
there on March 16 by a young lady whom the mana- 
ger, J. T. Huntley, uforms us has been In this coim- 
tiy but two months, and who will prolnbly be seen 
in New York City ere loojr: "At Joat 11 o'clock on 
Saturday morning Miss Marie Le Fhrge started at 
City Hall to walk fifty miles In twelve honn. Miss 
Le Farge Is a plncky Uttle English glri, who has 
twice liefore attempted the ta/ik without snccesa, 
old Father Time having beaten her by six minutes 
In . her best effort. SatnnlBv found her in better 
tialnlng and In snperb physical condition. At- 
tired In a becoming walking costume, her feet en- 
cased In a serviceable pair of walkliig shoes, she 
stepped bravely off over the aawdost track, twen^- 
sbc laps of wbfcb meastued a mile, and. with occa- 
sional rests, she continued to roU off the miles at tbe 
rete of five to the hoar tin her task was finaUy ac- 
coinpllBbed. Miss Le Forge is at once a gracelbl and 
sttirdy walker, and shows great powers of endur- 
ance. Her progress was watched with deep interest 
by a large gathering of orderiy people, Ineludlng 
nnmerons representatives of her own sex, who loud- 
ly applauded each bnret of speed and each an- 
nonncement that the Uttle woman was ahead of 
time. Miss Le Farge had neariy half an hour to 
spare, finishing her task at ia31-.&4, having made 
eight stops for rest and refteshment, using up 1.18:06, 
thns leaving the actual walking time 10.13:48. She 
was warmly greeted at the close, and physicians 
present were surprised to see how Uttle she showed 
the effects of her arduous task. After bowing ber 
acknowledgments for her reception on the stage, she 
seated herself at the piano and plaved several popu- 
lar airs, and then, accompanied by Prof. Kelley upon 
the piano, sang several bsUads; but walking Ih Miss 
LeFarge's best forte. Manager Himtley kept the best 
of order, and prohibited smoking. Miss Le Farge has 
engagements at Flttsfield, Mass., and at Newbur?." 

WALEiNa at Bocton.— On March 13 two contests 
took place at SL James Riding Academy, Boston,

GILLIABOS. 



■TOB COZX^WDXa. TOUXUT-ABIElrrS. 

It Is within the range of prohablli^ that the project 
for two tournaments in April and May next may be 
modified, if not deferred. There is one player who, 
as eveiy other expert Knoirs, wotUd not be allowed 
to take pan In them in any even}, and all sorts of 
plausible excuses have tieen framed for Jostil^ng a 
step that was Inevitable. But while the absence of 
Scbaefer would oBect at least the first of tbe tourna- 
ments, it would not prevent their being held, as there 
are playereenough to carrythem through successful y 
wlthont his cooperation. Even the presence of Vlgn- 
aux, which we have never deemed probable, was 
not counted upon, or at least It should not have 
been. It Is now certain that he will not come. The 
ap|>ended extract ITom a letter shows that Gamler'a 
mission In behalf of himself and Dan Straosa has 
been unproductive: 

I have been here, as 1 aoppoM you know, mnce last Uon- 
day night. Tueoday I went to see our fHend Mjniaux, Imt. 
to my sreat rctcret. It haa been ImpoMlble for mc to Induce 
him to retnra with me for the present I ofTervd lUm 6.000 
fVancM, whether he lost or won, and S200 per month alter 
the tournament This not to Indodo nlB expeniteft. I 
oITered blm alao the opportunity of playlne a match with 
Berton for $300, jon and 1 pultlni; up the money, and 
gtvlogtabs belt shonld he win. AU theK offers Culed to 
Induce hlfb to come. He nays tluit after tbe month of

otb«r4>lacn. , , , , 

greatly dlaappolnted. and do not imow what to do. Ite 
■ays be la vUlIng to sign an agreement with me to maka 
an cnvaccment to leave after the month of Anj^oat, I 
think be la a llttlo a£rald of ovMudn^ tlte water. Kow, there 
Is anoUier propoaltlon that I bare made to him. and which 
eeems to pieoae him xreatly— tills U, to play In tbe tounu- 
meat without the soard (rail). Vlfnuux, however, would 
play any way— that Is, we guaranteelnft hUD $1,000: but he 
would not play before tbe datea itiren abore. Fleaie let 
me hear from you at once, as I can make no amngementa 
without flint beaimg ITom you. 

It has taken a longtime to hear from Gamier, who 
left here on Feb. Zl. saw Vignan.T on March 4, and 
on the latter date might In ten words tiave cabled all 
thattho American public care to know. There Lt 
nothing alarmhig in Gamlcr's letter. That vigimux 
will not participate shonld not Interfere with the 
tournaments. But in what VIgnaux himself writes 
to Dan Strauss there seems to lurk a scheme that 
will deprive the tournament of more playera than 
Vlsnanx and Scbaefer: 

Kow, there laaitreat deal to he done m ParLi. OftbU 
I have frequently written to yoa; and In the Intervjit of 
Oamler I would advlae bim to remain here until Anguat, 
at which time 1 win accompany him to New York. We can 
tUl then play at the various duba, and give exhibitions. 

It need not surprise anyone to leam that Gamier 
will "remain there nntU August" It did not sur- 
prise ns to leam early on the momlng of Mareh 22 
that that afternoon Maurice Daly, in response to a 
cable dispatch received a few hours before, to the 
eOfectthat there was plenty of money for him to 
make tn France, was to saU for that conntiy. We 
were furthermore informed that whUe Daly was to 
co-operate with Gamier and VIgnanx on the other 
aide m a acheme that was not new to parties on this 
Bide, and whUe be was to go to Strauss' room and 
get Gamler'a ones and take them over, Strauss him- 
self np to this writing has no cognizance of 
the matter. How much of this Is tme will ap- 
pear later. The first step in the programme. 
If the programme has been correctly trntismltted to 
US, will be the deiiartnre of Daly. It was requested 
that his proposed sailing should not be mentioned 
by us until after four o'clock on the afternoon of 
March 22, by which boor he woiUd have saUed. 
vrbj he shonld saU so soon, when next week 
would answer as weU, la not dear, unless, liav* 
Ing been In commimlcatlon with Vlgiiaux and Gar- 
nler aU along, he bos been prepared to aaU as.soon 
as he received his cue — and Gamler'a. Nor Is it 
clear, Rapposlng that Daly goes, how any money con 
be made In France, where the "roU" woiUd not lie tol- 
erated for any length of time, by a player who without 
the "raU" coold not beat Gamier or VIgnanx even- 
up once In a month, except In a veiy short game. 

Kothlng bos been left imdone to break np the Col- 
lender tonmaments. There have been more schemes 
afoot than Mr. C, himself has any idea oL Some 
time ago he had his attention called to one, bat re- 
fbsed to ctedlt It Inasmuch as there was no direct 
downright evidence of it It may tnra out that this 
profenslonal project In France on the part of VIgn- 
aux, Oamler and Daly Is a scheme concocted on 
this side in order to keep Gamier and Daly out of 
this Spring's tournaments. Our advice to Mr. Cul- 
lender Is that notwithstanding he thinks that Slos- 
son. Sexton, Plot and Rudolphe arestUl left him 
OS a working field, he abandon oil Idea of hold- 
ing the tournaments in April and May, without 
giving even so much as a hint as to when he 
WlU hold them. He should, in fact keep his own 
counsel. Had he not announced that be woold hold 
a tournament in this city In January last there 
would have been none here In Junnary and FebmaiT, 
The tournament held here wa.s his, taken out of his 
hands and turned over to other partle.s. This Is of 
very Utile conseqnence, because he might have held 
hlH totunament fn spite of the turaltig-over; but It Is 
grimly suggestive tluit the tourooiiiunt that -was 
actually held appropriated not only Mr. a's rules of 
the three-ban game, speckUly drawn np hv Isidore 
Gayrand In 1873 for Challenge Cnp contests, but 
abio the ChoUenge Cup men, the only changes 
bcUig the liLxertlon of tbe words "Billiard Emblem" 
wherever "ChoUenge Cup" occurs, and the omls- 
!<lon of the Wonl "Ck>llender." Thus, amusingly 
enough, Mr. CoUender's on-n proiierty wss avaUed 
of to give force to a rival "champlonstdp of. 
the worid" whUe Mr. Cs "championship of the 
worid" series of games were still pending, the 
ChaUenge Cnp never having, owing to causes beyond 
the control of either Its donor or any American 
player, been held "for eighteen months against aU 
comers," as reqidred by the roles that nowgovem 
both tbe ChaUenge Cup and the BQllaid Emblem. It 
la onr further advice to Mr. CoUender that the $2,600 
he offfeiB as prizes would do him more good in 1880 
than in the Spring of 1879; and by way of inducing 
him to abandon his tonmaments at least temporarily 
we BhaU here teU him wliat he does not know. 
Notwithstanding that marked Uberallty as to prizes 
has already characterlned his hotise— the lowest 
sum It has ^ven In abont sixteen years being $1,600 
for six games, all playedin one week— yet as soon 
as it ahonid have become positively known that 
Vlgnauz and Plot would play In these tournaments, 
even With Scbaefer omitted, an attempt wotild have 
been made to force him to giveatwast $4,000 in 

Srizea One American player thought abont $6,000 
le proper figore, althougn bnt ab^n time ago 
eight or them played for three weeks and a idgnt 
for a total of $2,100. As Tignattx la not com- 
ing, Mr. (kinender win save at least $1,600; and if 
he takes our sdvlce as to the tonmaments he win 
save $2,600 more. Precisely aa the playen are 
rlgbc In aylng to get $6,000 when t2,600woald pay 
them well, so also would Mr. CoUender be right In 
not risking $2,600 oranyleas sum when tie otrald 
possibly snbeerve his own Interests as mnch by not- 
Instlbnrtng any tournament at this gloomy peiiod In 
ttieUfeof bUUards. We see something looming tip 
in the distance bj which more money can be inade 
In one night than a month of tonmament ought to 
realize. .And we are not the only persons who have 
seenit Afterthe skies brighten again wm bethe 
time for more tonmaments.

vln was bnrted last week. He had beenaUing fora 
year or more, bnt nevetthdess died mexpectedly, at 
his residence. In Bedford street He was about 
thirty-nine yean of age. had been a blllJard-player of 
lUr skfll In the days of "aafety" and the 8x12 table, 
and was vreU known to almost aU leading experts. 
He had been connected with many tooms in . this 
dl^, and about 1803-4 was employed in one tn Wash-

ing opportunities for good practice. The inittol 
bSio vras very close, Wahlstrom loalngit Jiy incnr- 
Fing a "mark" through pocketing the cne-bau. The 
second and third games were alro BOJied by Uim- 
bert but the next fonr feU to the swede, who In the 
ninth "heUed" all the balls. In the eighteenth Lam-

games out of eight before Knlgtat began tofUIy re- 
alize that he was in danger. Thenceforward con- 
siderable "safety" was indulged In by both contest- 
ants, KtUgfat occasionaUy crossing his hands upon 
his breast and contemplatively surveying tne field 
of battle after the manner of hla ancestor Napoleon 
L As the dock stmck twdve Knight won the 
twenty-Keventh game, and obtained the lead for tne^ 
first time. When the match was ended, he was two

tbe Zlst a tie of three would result and the tourna- 
ment wotdd have to lie played over. The sport was 
not to be prolonged, however,. despite the dasbliur 
play of the Swede at the ontset ■ Hla pace would 
have disheartened a less phUosopblcal pool-knlght 
than he had before him on this occasion. As It was, 
Wahlstrom's brilliancy was his ruin, thtis again 
demonstrating that it rtsqulres something more than 
mere brilliancy of execution to be snccesafbl at haz- 
ards, whether the game is the old "Bpo^ball," or 
two-ball pool, or finccn-boU pool. Knight's steadi- 
ness saved him fTom defeat thoagh It was not undl 
the twenty-fifth game that he octnally secare<l the 
l;ad. A Uttle Inck in the way of "scratches" ena- 
bled him to keep at least level with his opponeut 
thereafter, and at un minutes to twelve o'clock the* 
announced prize-money had tieen disposed of as fol- 
lows: $100 to Knight. $40 to Lambert and $10 to the

chaps take wsmlng There is another thing 

where the parties Interested didn't chime in together 
harmoidoosly. It was In Baltimore where It hap^ 
pened, and a menagerie the scene. It seems thatthe 

Erapttetorof the show was the possessor of a little 
imb and a large lion. Being of a plons tnm of 
mind, he proposed to Improve his opportnnlty, 
and Inenlcate a beantlfal moral lesson. In showing 
In reality what the Holy Bible only mentions as a re- 
mote protabUltr; so he' conlUlently approached the 
csge wherein a hnngty lion was a-rearlng and a- 
roBilngaaheluid been prevlonsly Instmcted to do. 
Then: he. tenderly took op his tender little lamb, 
which seemed to be llv to the racket, and liever once 
winced as it gazed throngh the bare at the angry 
one. The showman smoothed and patted the Inno- 
cent oreatnre In his arms, and then, taming to the 
andlence, remarked that he proposed to show the 
Uon and the Iamb Ivlng down hwether as If they 
had been friends aU 'their lives. The man looked 
very beantfhl while maung this brief speech, and 
there was a sort of benlgimess ahont his Ihce that 
showed that his thooghta were "In that h^py land, 
far, Ihr away r* and that he longed for heavenly rest 
and peace, rtv'e wonld here tske occasion to 
say that- OS showmen are not natarally 'wicked— 
that now and then we come across an angelic side- 
show man or menagerie man whose every look de- 
notes peace 'with all the world, and an abiding fiUth 
In the merits of his show and in the conlldence and 
"sappott of the press and the pnbllc" This Balti- 
more . man was one of that persoasioii Ed.] So 

when he had aroosed the Interest of the spectators 
as weu as of the Uon and the Iamb, and seemingly 
t>reathed m silent praver or something, he lifted a 
single bar of the cage and passnl (n air iambi and 
everybody expected to see It chawed op in a minute 
or two ij the raging king of the forest; bnt the 
lamb didn't mind It a tAt, seemed to know aU atioat 
the real statos of the fetodons creature, and gave- 
the lion "a bnck In the ribs that sent him tremliUng 
'With fear Into a comer of the cage, where he 
moaned himself hoarse with fear," to the great sar- 
prise and wonder of the entire assemblage! It was 
not nntll the small sheep wns lifted ont that 
the Hon resnmed his warlike and ferocious aspect. 
We have since learned that some wicked person 
lad tampered with the pen wherein the peacefol 
lamb reposed, and snrrepiltlonsly changed it for a 
Ogbtlnglamb. Hence the nnlooked-for discrepancy 
In the performance and the faUare of the toactdng 
scene representing the Uon and the lamb in real Pres- 
byterian close commnnton En.] It Is pnlnfOI 

to note the strange effect the saccessfUl "Pinafore" 
has upon the legitimate stage and the eqoau.v leglQ- 
mate old-ntagers. We propose to make a few choice 
rhymes showing

The Intelligence of the mnnfer of Ben C Porter 
and the wounding of Maurice Barrymore, an account 
of which may tie found on onr flrrt page, when It 
reached this city late at night on March ao and 
spread from theatre to theatre, aroused a fetilng of 
deep indignation in proHanlonal clreles. After the 
petTormances at onr theatres were concluded ttiat 
night an Informal meeting was held by a nnmber of 
actorn, and It was rest^ved that proceedings be 
taken at once to raise a snm of money suffldent t& 
defray the fdheiai expenses of tbe deceased actor, 
and to aid pecuniarily nis immediate relatives, who 
were dependent upon him fur suppon. More espe- 
cially was this necessarv because Mr. Porier had dor- 
Ingthepaat year ormore been rather anfortnhate with 
regard to' engagements, and what sialary he recei\-ed 
was Immediately eaten np in dettaytng his household 
expenses in Pamnpo,. N. t. On the foUowlug morn- 
ing a letter was published In rTie Herald from Wm. 
E, Sinn, manager of the Park Theatre, Brooklyn, 
suggesting that a lienefit be given for the purpose of 
raising fands to defray the expenses of bringing Mr, 



Poner's remains to this city, and the balance, if anv 
to go to the fiimUy of the deceased. He ahio stated 
that he bad that morning telegraphed to Mr. Barrv- 
moreln HarshaU, Texas, to draw on hlmforflf^ 
doUara to be used In defraying the expenses of trans- 
porting BIr. Porter's remains hither. A second 
meeting of professionals was held Saturday after- 
noon, Blarcb '.£2, but, owing to the matinee perform- 
ances engrossing the attention of manv acton and 
managers. It was not largely attended. OoLT. Allston 
Brown was appointed tnalrman, and a formal 
meeting was caUed In Clarendon UaU Sunday 
afternoon, at three o'clock, which was largely 
attendeiL John P. Smith sras>cha«en chairman; 
<^L T. Alhiton ' Brown, secretary; and Andrew

Lulu Wyman, who made their metropoUtan debut In 
a sketch caUed "Kari and Gretchen,^' proved to be 
capable exponents of the broken-English school, the

John TUI; afforded mncn pleasure, and the animated

and subsequently replaced them In their appropriate

the New York company was not tn be expected, and 
some of the artists sllghtlr marred the eflWct bv at 
times forgetting to treat the •.■fhrclcsl snhject In a 
grave and earnest spirit:" liut we should Judge that 
when the company liccome more tbmlltor with tbe 
iiuslnesa of the play they wui appear 10 much better 
advantage. Katharine Rogers' conception and de- 
llneatlnn of the chnracier of Belinda Treheme to 
deserving of high praise, espectollv as It to not a 
.senile Imltatlun of Agnes booth's ponraval: but 
a further etoboratlon of dvtaU wonld make It 
yet more enJo.vable. Anv criticism of George 
Parkes' Cheviot HUI would tie unfhlr. because of a 
severe hoarseness and cough which troubled him all 
the week. Frank Monlannt was an excellent Bel- 
vawney; but Jame« Dunn did not baniUe Mr. 
Svraperson forall he was worth, and John Manhews' 
Majur MacgUUcudy might be Improved upon. WU- 
llam Heriien's tearful Angus MncaULster was fairly 
snoil. Emily Delmar acted Minnie verv wen. and 
Mrs. Bratone and May Rowere were seen to ad- 
rantage as Mtw. MBcmrtane and Parker. A ftirther 
study nf Scotch dialect and a more dLstlnct enuncto- 
tlon would have made Genevieve Rogers' Maggie 
more enjoyable. The company ptov In Allenv thto
