BEHIND THE SCENES,.

"Well, is the rehears tl to go on or not?" demanded the long-suffering manager, in tones of desperate appeal, that had not the

slightest effect on the refractory member of

his company who had stopped the rehear

sal, and, sitting on a crimson conch, was

gating dreamily at the empty tiers of boxes,

apparently in peaceful reverie; a lace hand

kerchief torn to ribbons was the only sign

of passion remaining; the exquisite face,

that some few minutes ago had been ablaze with warmth, was now serene; the large

blue eyes had the guileless pensiveness of a child's; the month, no longer curled in

fierce disdain, was tender, half sad; the leading lady, queen of living comediennes,

and folly aware of her own importance, was-

loan seeming in the seTenth heaven ox

meditation, lifted above all things of earth. She could afford to be tyrannical; the

public worshipped her, and she had made

the fortmte of lessee n(i managor. They

bore her csnrices meekly, knowing well

that a score of rivals, at home and abroad,

would be only too eager to secure her ser

vices at any cost. To get into her good graces was a very hard matter, but once

there, you stayed; submit to her rages, and

she would beg your pardon after so sweetly that yon would long for a renewal of wrah. Evan cool, caatioas critics lost! their heads over this most charming of actresses, most delightfully fascinating of women. The company grew accustomed to ker little ways, and the masculines of it liked to be ordered about and trampled upon by one of the handsomest women of the day; the feminines did not object when they learned her surpassing generosity. She had always had her own way from childhood upwards, and so had grown used to making slaves of people; give her that "own way," and she was simply angelic a sincere friend, a benefactress when possible. Host people liked the fair despot, many loved her. The very first person who opposed her, who did not give his neck to be trampled on, was a, young poet and would-be dramatist, lately come into the literary world. Hiss Catherine Kyrle bad taken a violent dislike to him, and she was too honest to dissemble in real life. One night, being in a very bad temper, she had boxed the manager's ears, and the witness of this dignified and lady -like action was a pale young man with a cold, proud face, -delicate in appearance, dignified in manner, and she had seen his expression of disapproval, not to say disgust. It is hard to like a person who has seen us at a disadvantage, and ever after that little "incident she had regarded Mr. Adrian Fyatt, poet, as a mortal foe. There was an air of quiet superiority about him thai she found very irritating. Ho was reputed a proud

having few friends, and keeping himself very much to himself. He did not court

the actress" favor, nor flatter, nor coneili

ate her. Catherine was often indignant with herself for caring what his opinion

might be, and frequently told her mirrored

reflection that she hated him. One of her moat devoted slave and admirers-was Cosmo Hunt, dramatic critic,

ana one wno usually wrote with a pen

dipped in verjuice. He had told her a few

thines about this votme Lord Conceit.

aJtM Adrian Fyatt, which made her by no

means admire the poet in private life. Selfishness and avarice Catherine abhorre 3,

and Hnnt told her that the poet was known in journalistic and other -circles as the Miser, and spent every farthing: of his in-

eome on himself. 80, whenever Hiss Kyrle could give Mr, Fyatt a rap across the

knuckles on this score 9 he did so, to be an

swered only by a scornful smile.

He was too proud to ever invite any of

Hs confrere home, and rumor said he

lived in the dome of St. Paul's, beyond the reach of common mortals, and regaled

himself oa lilies and champagne therein

A shot t time ago Mr. Berry, Hiss Kyrie's manager, had accepted a drama by Adrian

Fyatt, which, having been read to the company, and the parts allotted, was put in ac

tive rehearsal, the author being frequently

present. He was the very first person who ventured dared to criticize Miss Kyrie's

performance unfavorably. She had cer

tainly gone through her part as carelessly

as possible; but all the same she did not

Hke to be told so by this slender, pale gentleman, with the oval face and blue eyes,

over which the haaghty lids dropped like a

out half her sentences, missed her cues,

and made a "fearful hash" of it. The result was a wordy warfare, in which the poet developed new powers of sarcasm,and came off victorious. He never lost his temper, a fact in itself provoking. Miss

Kyrle would have given much to make him angry. Completely losing her own temper, she tossed her "part' contemptuously over tho footlights, stamped across the stage, looked daggers all round, and then became lost in the transcendental and supreme, whilst the

company and the manager stood meekly

about, waiting the recovery of her composure. One gentleman, sufficiently like her to be recognized as her brother, had sat down, and was perusing a newspaper. The author, after a prolonged contemplation of the lady, and an almost imperceptible

shrug of the shoulder, folded his arms, and waited with the expression usually given in pictures to the soldier of Herculaneum, until

the manager broke the silence with the

above-quoted question.

"I presume it may go on." said MX. y-

att, "if Miss Kyrle has sufficiently recov

ered from the effects of her late exertions.

"I decline to go on," said Miss Kyrle,

addressing the manager. "I refuse to appear in that at all. I do not choose to risk toy prestige."

"Oh, come, come," said Berry, vaguely id 8oothingly,"a feete more animation " "I say," exclaimed she, with a stamp,

"that I absolutely refuse to goon! Pro

duce that mass of absurdities if yon like,

but if you do you may leave my name out

of the bill. I will not take the part at all. You will be asking me to do comic opera

next, and of the two I should prefer it. I am quite in earnest."

There was alengthy consultation between

the author and the manager; then Mr.

Fyatt, slightly flushing, rolled a raass of MSS. together, tied them with unsteady fingers, and turned to the company, ignoring Miss Kyrle:.

"I have to thank you, ladies and gentle

men,' he said, "for your courtesy and pa- ! tience, on which I shall make no further demands."

Then bowing he retired the Fyatt went

forth.

Some time after this, Mr. Will Kyrle es

corted his sister home, and congratulated her on the day's achievement.

I should say you have nipped rising

genius in the bud, Kate settled the hash

of A. Y. Fyatt, Esq." "I cant bear him!" she returned, con

templating her angry face in the mirror, and recalling the composed countenance

and figure of the poet with the narcissus

in his coat "He is so fearfully conceited;

why, is more than I can understand. Money, I suppose," Mr. Kyrle laughed, drawing on his gloves, and this odd laugh was the only reply he gave. "He is overbearing, too; domineering, too." "Exactly you are not a bit so. H'm! But Hunt has poisoned your ear, Kate; he prejudiced you against Fyatt from the first, knowing the sweet youth to be far gone in love for you, and being afflicted with the same disease himself, wanted no rival." "Adrian Fyatt hates me as much as I hate him!" "Perhaps so now that he has been behind the scenes; but when he simply saw you from the stalls ah!" And shaking his

head with much expression, the young actor drew a rose through his buttonhole and strolled out.

Next morning the "Footlights" (for which

paper Cosmo Hunt was critic) had the following account of the preceding night's per-

Last night, at the Boyal, was produced

a now play, the work of an author whom the public will be content to allow to return

to his former obscurity after witnessing the

miserable fiasco he is pleased to styles

comedy. From beginning to end there is

not a spark of wit or pathos. Miss Kyrle struggled bravely through the dismal lines allotted her as a love-lorn maiden. Mr. William Kyrle did his best to animate the

hero, something between a street preacher

and a district visitor; Mr. Frank Milton was apparently disgusted with his lackadaisical

rote. Itis painful too see good acting thrown

away on productions of this calibre. . We

were not surprised to see the greater part of the audience yawning."

Those who had been at the theater opened

their eyes; those who had not been turned to the other papers to read that, owing to

the sudden withdrawal of -Mr. A. Y. Fyatt's new play, the "School for Scandal" had been performed, with Miss Kyrle as Lady

Teazle, Mr. W. Kyrle as Charles Surface, and Mr. F. Hiiton as Sir Peter! The laugh in theatrical circles was loud and long. Mr.

William Kyrle laughed so heartily that his

sister thought he had gone mad.

Cosmo has surpassed himself this time,"

he said, handing the paper to his sister, who read it with an expression of puzzled won

der. "Perhaps now, my dear Kate, yon will

believe my assertion that Hunt has a spite

against Mr. Fvatt?"

Kate flushed angry, crimson; she made

an arch of her hands so that her eyes were

hidden, and read the article again in silence.

"Good, isn't it? It's immense, think. Hunt is out of town, you know, which ac

counts for his blunder. Are you inclined to belters in his malice now?"

"Have you another paper one with an

account of what we did perform?" asked Kate, through hex white teeth, and William gave her the Standard. Taking a pen she

marked the critique, also that one signed "C. H-," and writing on the margin, "With Miss Kyrie's compliments," demanded the

unlucky critic's address from herbrotfesr.

"There, that will do him good!" she said,

tvnurnp the parcel and directing it. "X

have finished with Cosmo Hunt for ever."

"Inconsistent girl! You ought to be

grateful to him; he is only helping you to

do for Fyatt."

"Is he? William, dear," she said, slip

ping n white arm round his neck, "tell me

your opinion of Mr. Fyatt.

"It isn't worth much, Kitty, for I think

him the best fellow out. Could have said

go long ago."

"You know where he lives, dear, don't

yon? You shall .take me to see him today." "How kind! But he won't thank you,

Besides, be is loo grand for us; he lives in

a style of magnificence to which we are not

accustomed.

"I don't care I vM go!" said she, im

periously.

"Very well. "Sou will be overshadowed by his splendor. If you please we will walk, becanse he likes his suppliants to

approach him on foot. H'm!"

go that day Mr. Kyrle escorted his sister

to a neighborhood wherein she had never

set foot before up a rickety flight of stairs to a small room, where, bending over an old desk and a chaos of papers, in (he

pallid, oat Adrian Fyntl. The carpet was threadbare; the chairs of de.il; tho wa.ls blank; a blue bowl on the table, however, was filled with flowers, and a few choice books were scattered about; everywhere a suggestion of J overly bravely l orn of making the best of very Utile. Into Ibis room came the actress a vision of dainty

color ami sheeny robes. Fyatt rase a wave of hot colour passing over his face, anr in his oyes an Enrl-Fercy-sees-my-fall expression; he bowed coldly without speaking. "I am not in it," t-aid Wi'liam, waving his hand. "Settle it yourselves;" and then ha delicately lighted a cigar, thrusting bis head through the open window to smoke it Miss Kyrle looked about her nervously; she could' find nothing bettor to soy than: "So yon live here?" "As yon see. I do occasionally dine off a hly!" ho replied, with a bitter smile; "not always from choice." "You know why I am here?" "I cannot account for the honor." "Don't you know why-1 ought to come? To ask yon to accept my apology for what happened yesterday." "I do accept it. Tray say no more on the subject." Courteous but cold the words and tone. Miss Kyrle, after a little hesitation, produced a copy of the "Footlights, "and asked the poet to please read that. He did so with a perfectly inscrutable face. "So my unfortunate play was produced after all? Your opinion of itis justified by Mr. Hunt's critique." Miss Kyrle gave him another paper demurely, and he read that slowly; then an expression of bewilderment crossed his countenance. He looked at Kate inqnivingly, then, as a light broke on him.smilel;

the smile increased, and he burst into a fit of most contagious mirth, a spring of

laughter bubbling straight and clear from t'tte undented well of his heart. As for

Kate, she was convulsed. Mr. Kyrle glanced

over his shonldor, remarking, vaguely:

It ia awfully good. Send it to 'Punch,'"

and resuming his contemplation of chimney-pots.

"It is kind of you to laugh," said Kate.

Oh,-Mr. Fyatt, do you really forgivo roe

everything fully and freely? I am more

sorry and ashamed than I can express."

"Do not distress me by trying todo eo.

I do forgive you. Will you say the same to

me?" "No, for I have nothing to forgive you. But I will ask a great favor from you Will von allow us to have your play again?'

"Will Berry have it again?" he said,

dubiously. "He must!" replied Catherine, with

stamp; then she blushed. "I beg your par

don, I have made a vow never to fly into a

rage again. Don't be too hard on me. Be

member von have always seen me at iay

worst."

This with an angelic smile, and the pool's

lips quivered slightly.

"I may have the play? Heap coals of

fire on my head and Bay yes. Ah, I knew

you would. And yon must grant a secoad favor. Please attend rehearsal, and tell

mo if my rendering of the character comes

up to vour conception."

She held out her white hand to him with

shining eyes; and Fyatt, suddenly flushing, raised it to his lips. When they bade adieu, and brother and sister descended tho stairs,

William saw her long lashes glistening.

"Don't speak to me.dear," she said, and ho

obeyed.

So again the play was rehearsed, and

Catherine Kyrle flung herself heart and soul into her part, infecting the others with

her enthusiasm.

On the night of its production the house wes crammed from floor to ceiling with na audience soon to be strung to concert pitch

of enthusiasm. When the play reached its

climax there was one loud, long cry of "An

thor! author!" and flushed with triumph, the young poet bowed his acknowledg

ments.

At the wings Catherine Kyrle met him

radiant as a star.

"Let me be the first to congratulate yon," she said.

His reply was not audible. The drama was a triumphant success,

and in course of time Mr. Berry organized

a company to take it through the provinces, and the poet gave himself up to the con

struction of a second.

When an announcement oue day ap

peared in one of the theatrical papers to the effect that a marriage had been ar

ranged between Miss Catherine Kyrle and Mr. Adrian Fyatt, no one was surprised; indeed, many declared that they had foreseen the event, being Behind the Scenes.

is famous for Ids method of going up

stream ; it darts at falls ten or twelve feet high, leaps into the air and nisliM up tho falling water in a marvelous manner. So determined arc the sal

mon to attain tho high and safe waters,

that in some localities nets are placed

beneath the falls, into which the fish

tumble in their repeated attempts to clear the hill of water. Other than human hunters, morever, profit by these scrambles up-hill. Travelers report that on the banks of the Upper St. John Kiver, in Canada, there was once

a rock in which a large circular well, or

pot-hole, had boon worn by the action of the water. At the salmon season,

this rock proved a favorite resort lor bears ; and for a good reason. Haviag an especial taste for salmon, tho bears

would watch at the pot-hole, and as the

salmon, dashing np the tail, were thrown by its force into tho rocky !- sin, the bears would quickly scrape them out of the pot-hole, and the poor salmon would be eaten before they had

time to wonder at this unlooked-for re

ception. The Dominion Government finally authorized a party of hunters to destroy the pot-hole, and tllus break up the bears' fishing ground. St. Nicho

An organized attempt was inaugurated at Seattle, W. T., to drive out tho Chinese. It is alleged that the Knights of Labor head the movement. Tho Chinese to the number of 100 wero marched to the steamer Queen of the Pacific, lying at the wharf, and shipped by steerage to San Fraueiaco, the citizens paying ?10 a head passage.

Houston (Tex.i special.

For several days nxst Mr. Kyle Terry, a

handsome man, about 26 years old. whose home is neiir Richmond, in Fort Bend

County, has been visiting friends m thts city. He has been indulging in liqnor pretty freely, and last night b-came somewhat intoxicated. Officer Williams arrested Terry against tho latter's protest,tafcing him

to the station, out was released on mo pledge that he would appear before the Mayor and aaswer to the charge of being disorderly. This morning he came upon dflUMr 'Williams, who was going toward the Court House. The very sight of AVilliams seemed to drive Terry crazy. He sprang toward the officer, uttering a terrible oath. Williams saw ha was cenfrontinc a man crazed with

drink, and jumped b-shiud a passing colored man. When the negro saw Terry advancing, pistol in hand, he b .'0ame frantic and tried to run, but Williams clung to his back with deadly tonacity. The colored man from she ?r fright, it is thought, fainted, and with Williams siill clinging to him they rolled off the siiUiw.tlk into the gutter. ' Terry followed, tieeoHiing apparently more excited at Williams' offort to escape. Bending over the prostrate negro, Terry emptied his self -cocking six-shooter into the prostrate form of his victim. He literally pumped lead into Williiin s without moving his arm. Each ball entered tho body of the unfortunate man. Tbe effects were noted by people who witnessed the affair from a distance, who si.y the body seemed to jump a few inches frim tho ground each time a bullet penetrated it. The fifth ball passed through tho heart, a id Williams rolled over dead, one hand still grasping the negro, who lav in an almost comatose condition, an unwilling witness to the awful crime. Tcrrv was immediat ely arrested without resistance and taken to jail. Intense excitement has prevailed here all day, and an extra guard h as boon placed inside the jail to prevent possible lynchiug. Officer Williams was a general favorite on the force, and leaves a wife axd three children. The Teirvs have boen for three generations among the utost honorable citizens of the south. The prisoner is a son of General Frank Tvrry, of Coi federate renown. Tcrrv's Bangers were iar-famed in war days. He comos from a 1 ghting family, being a uephett of .Tudgo A. W. Terry, of California, tho Iarer of Senator Droderick. Other members "of the family have achieved distin. tion in leis-ative halls aud ou the bench of Texas.

The introduction in the Senate of the United

States, on the SU test., by Mr. EcsUs of a reso

lution directing the Finance Corrjnittee to ask the Secretary of the Trams -try for certain Information concern! ig the -illeged refusal of Nov? Orleans Sub-Treaanry to receive standard silver dollars presiptiatod a debate baaed upon the refusal of th administration to furnish

Senate committesa with information ooneemiaj the sosnensiona l Federal officials. During the delate of Mr. Luatis' resolution Mr. Sherman arose to support (he-resolution, trying that ha tho ight the Inqiiry entirely proper, and tin tho Senate had a porfect right to anything on the Executive ties pertaining tso the subject under consideration or ts Executive appoint, ments. suspensions, or removals. He con

tinued:

I think we hv a right to seek information of

any department if the Government, whetl ert'.ie

Information be c a raper or by yznl. ao no

think there is any doubt of that vhatsvar. B-.'.t for that we con Id not legislate we could even by executive session. I have jnstaa much right to go to an f department and aak for any

papers affecting that department, auteong leg: altttlve busil ess, if I go thro armed with the power of the Senate, .s the Secretary of th Trt asury or any dopait-n : ntof the Government or ns the PreBidt nt of the United States. That ban always, frorr tho found ation of the Government, been the toblislid law- Anv information that mav aifcet the judgment or conduct of

a Senator or any suojt et of puoitc amy is ww motion that the I'residenti is bound tocominuBt-

cate. There oufi it to be no secrets whatever in

thi s Government of ours ; It ts a govemmanioi uw people. There i t no role or provision for kmpins secrets. We have no right to say to another do inrtmontof the t3overamMit: "For wbatreaoii did you do tl.ia thing r The President has no right to come to us and say: "Why did yot ptixathis law?" He had no right to cross-examine ut. The departments are aeparate aaa ditttnet. But al the informatics contained on the files of anv tlepartmontia just aa much the property of a Set ate aa of anytody else. Tliara is no secret in th !a Government that can be protected from legit latlve stpervisSon. Mr. Saulsbnry thought that the discretion ae to furnishing i iformatiou concerning a snapended otHcor v as vested wholly in we Pieat4r. Sherman l eplied that nobody proposed to deny the righto' the President to exercise bis discretion. He was as independent aa Ow Senate. But te ought not to prevent taw Senate from having Ihe some sources i OX in.'ormatlon that he had. The Senate had a right to ctll for that formation. Ax the same time the Senate should be courteous. If tho President should give aa reason for wit molding information that it was confidential the spanker would be content; but ho had no right to withhold papers cot tabling charges rpenly made, on which be acted and which papers were ou a public file, merely bocause they came to h m ab sut an executive matter. If thej were confldetitial they ought not to be filed az d allowed to pcison the fame of a man. If they ought not to be seen by Matora or the suspended officials they ought to cit into tho wa ite 1-aiiet without action. Hr. Pugh said that Mr. Sherman did not claim that the Senate hould call ur the President for any other hun publlo docnmnti( character of thi so documents determined too right of the Seaate to their poasecaicta. The President had tie right to determine the MttlKi ot the doc- imonta, tmd, henoe, tbe rigbf. of ttm Sonata to J ossesa them. Mr. SbanaaaMP!'?4ere did the Senator from Alal)BnaJKr'.
