A young lady who had lately given an order to a milliner for her bonnet, said: "You re to make it plain, but at the same time smart, as I sit in a -conspicuous place in church." " Murder is a very serious thing, sir," said an Arkausas judge to a convicted prisoner; it is next to stealing a horse or a mule, fir; and I shall senu you to state prison for six years, sir.'

" A man shot in his own house" is the beading which the western papers give to the McNamara affair. Spilkins wants to know if this wasn't a case of hitting a man right where he lived."

' A farmer was walking with a friend through a beautiful meadow, when be chanced to observe a thistle growing thriftily on the opposite side of the fence. Immediately he sprang over and cut it off close to the ground. "Is that your field T1 asked the other. "O, no; but bad weeds don't care much for fences. If I should leave that thistle to blossom In my neighbor's I ,

It is our duty, as well as our interest, to do what we csn for the benefit of oui neighbors' c iildrcn. Tbe west is noted for its admiration of the fair sax. An Iowa justi & of the peace refused last week to fine a. man arraigned before him for kissing a tr.rl azainst her will, Because . as he remarked. " the piainim la bo temDtinzlv nrettv. that nothinsr but an overwhelming sense of dignity, and the resDODsibilitv of its '.ath. has prevented tbe coart from Kissing her itself." . - . . . r . - A darkey was. once attempting to steal a goose, but a -jog raised an objection, ana Sambo ret'ywL The next nitrbt during a thunder Inower he attempted it again, and just as tie was on the point of getting away with the fowl, the lightning struck close oy, and the noise nearly frisibteued the poor fel low to death. Dropping the goose, he warted away, muttering, "Pe9M to me der am a mightv lot of rusa maae 'dous a com mon goose." An extremely sharp and intelligent Amer ican gentleman from the west, once walked into the office of Dr. C. T. Jackson, the chemist. ' Dr. Ja.-kson, I presume?" said he. "Yes, sir." "Are you alone?" "Yes, sir." " May 1 lock the door 7" Ana ne aia so. Then havintz looked behind the sofa, and satisfied himself ttat no one else was in the room, he placed a large bundle, done up in a yellow handkerchief, on the table, and onenediU " There, doctor, look at that!" Well," said the doctor, "l 6ee it." w nat do you call that, doctor?" "I call it Iron Dvntes." "What!" said the man. - isn t that stuft gold?" "Xo," said the doctor. it's good for nothing It's pyrites." Ana putting some over the fire in athovl, it soon evaporated jid the chimney. "Well, said the gentlemanly man, with a woe-begone look. there's a widow dd in our town has a whole hill full of that, aud I've been and married her." Prot J. Lawrence Smith, of Louisville, is said to have b9en the first person to bring the subject of cremation before the American people. Tie delivered a lecture in New Orleans twenty years ago, in which he fa vored cremation, and described a plan for farnaoea in which to burn the dead. Mr. Ellis H. Schnäble, however, is the present head-center of the innovation, judging from a recent speech in New Yorkcitv. in which he deplored the "annual waste of millions of bodies which ought to rructity the eartn." It is astonishing to note the immediate acceDtance which this idea finds and it is a good proof of tbe peculiarly receptive condi tion of the progressive American mina. In Ohio there were 30,479 marriages in 186, and 2,3440 in 1S73, and in that time the J - , m!.,. Tk.f i.o . rlin In ISi 1 tn vafv S-2. and in lfiT.1 of 1 to every 118. The inhabitants of that state need more Robert Collyers to lecture to them on "clear grit." HOW CHEAP SHOWS" ARE PAID FOR. WHY A VARIETY THEATRE CAN BB RUN SO ECONOMICALLY THE 8 A LA RIBS OF TKN YEAPJ AGO AND OF THE PRESENT WHAT SPKCIAL STARS GET A WEEK. In speaking or the greater economy with which a "variety" theatre can be "run" compared with one of astandard char acter, and of the present salaries of special ists, the Xew York Times says: In the first place, the manager is never bored about new pieces and authors' royalties. The performer supplies his piece or sketch 3s for tbe salary. Then the scenic adjuncts are not necessarily expensive, because few variety performers need more than an ordinary "interior" or "exterior" set as tne irame-worK or bis or her picture. Wardrobe costs the manager little, i most of the artists, being specialists, have their own gear. Machinists, stage help and supernumeraries are also fewer as the Olympic or Comique, under the present re gi me, than they are in any other kind of theatre. The only expenses on the manage ment of moment are the performers' salaries, the orchestra, general help around thu house, and advertising. Take, for ex ample, the Metropolitan Theatre, and we find that the orchestra, at a weekifor each piece, and $50 for the leader, costs about f'SM a week. The help, inolud inz scene-shifters, carpenters, painter, and as hers, draw salaries amounting in theag gregate to $300. The performer's salaries are the heaviest part of the expenses. A comparative statement of what these . get will probably be the best indication of tbe increasing popularity and importance of va--rieties. To begin, then, song and dance men twelve years ago received from ight to ten dollars a week ; now they range as high a3 seventy-five dollars a week. Comic singers of every class did not receive more than twenty dollarsa week at that time, and, indeed, Tony Fastor, who was a very great attraction uuring tne war, tnougut he was doing well when he received twenty-five dollars a week. Now, Miss Jennie Huehes i ana x uiiy r lens get fiuo a week, aad Aunie Aiam.o.two vears aero. II.r(). I CT", V IRISH AND NEGRO DEUSitATORU Never got more than 925 in the good old tine of '62 and '63. Eveu the famous "Billy O'-Neill," esteemed the best IrUh low comedian in the business, only commanded $2 a week. This .season Sam Rickey gets $123 a waek at the .Metropolitan, John Hart, tbe negro comedian, Li0. Add livtuan received $4o.a week fotr or five years sgo;uow be g-ts $70, and all those great favorites of the local politicians, Dan Shelby,' Hugbey Dougherty, Slot um. and other renowned stump speak era, said their .smartest and wittiest things for i0 a week. They would not "black up" short of f 100 cow. Then there are Xelse Seymour and Epb Horn, the veterans, who talk plantation dialect nightly for $85 a week; and the Uulligan Guard. Hart and Harridan, maret across the stage for Hften or twuty minutes nightly tor $1M a weak. Master Barney -dance or play an Irish washerwoman's part for the moderate sum of I25 a week, while Johnny Wild, the East-aiders' "pet, dashes about tLe stage lor something less than -oe hundred and fifty dollars a week .Yet he, in man proud Co earn $2 50 a week at the "Art .Union," ito. 4SU Broadway. Leaving the delineators, we come to the utility men. These never draw more than tea d iLars a week in former days. Now they get $0. Light cjmediane, too, who are really good actors, get fSO. earn more money and reputation than they could In more pretentious establishments. The acrobats aud trapeziat draw very iarga ftalariea. For ex ample, Leon rare and her husband get 150 a week m New York, and JLVJ outside oi it; the Jackley family, 3ö0; Lulu. 11,000; Ala, 1150; the Wilsons, 150, and the Mattnews family, f 190. At least, the last named were engaged in England three years ago bj Mr, Butler for f 190 a week, and after they made their appearance here he let them out to other nianagars at $500, making by the transaction orcr two hundred dollars a week himself. The Berger family of bell-ringers get about ehzht hundred dollars a week, and other specialists receive all the waj from one hundred to fire hundred doU&n wMklj.

But if the traveler, faltering on his way. bees water glimmer where the boughs parted. are And rests, and dreams, scarce listening to my lay. May ne not grow a little lighter-hearted? HORRORS OF STARVATION. THE INDIAN FAMINE. FIGURES CONCERNING THE DISTRICTS SUFFER INQ FROM THE FAMINE SCENES TO BE WIT NESSEDMEANS TAKEN FOR RELIEF. The correspondent of tbe London Times writing from Calcutta under date of Febru ary 27th,thus speaks of the famine: My next letter." he says, "will probably bo from the heart of the black famine tract in north Tirhoot. Meanwhile my local eor respondence and the Eleventh Special Nar rative or the lien gal government up to the l'jth, issued in a siigntiy mutilated form by the government of India several days too late for last mail, show that while, since Sir R. Temple's deputation to Behar, gov ernment has begun to grapple with .the Bunering, tne aiincuity or doing bo is increasing every day. Of the four districts north of the Gauges Saruu. Bhnmparun.Tirhoot and part of Bhagulpore Saruu has always been considered the least exposed to distress. It was wedged in between the Gora and the Ciucduk rivers. ani tne princmai portion or it is washea by the Ganges also, at its county town of Chupra, the three great streams meeting a little below that station. Thus the problem oi transport mere ouznt to ue com parativeiy easy, aioreover, the spring crop nas oeen, ana is, more promising there than in the withered rice tracts to the north, let one of the officials whose dutv it is daily to see that the 80,000 or 90,000 starving people already on the road are re lieved, and who is daily In the villages and among the people, writes to me thus : "The helds are literally burned up, and the peo ple are coming on the roads in thousands. ihe higher castes are coming on. too. verv much. There is no rain, the sky is bright' and clear, and prices are gradually creeping nigner. j.ne people are cutting the stand ing crop and giving it to their bullocks. An old man, eighty years of age, told me the other day that be never saw such a gloomy prospect. Things are really becoming serious, j. am very mucn a i raid, despite the exertions oi government that ten per cent. of the populaÄi will die of starvation be fore October next." Sarun is the most thickly-peopled part of Behar, containing more than 2,000,000, or 778 to the square mne. xet, on tne nun, sir K. Temple con sidered its condition to ba much less critical man tnat oi us neighbors, although since that date he has raised his estimate of THE NUMBER TO BE PROVIDED FOR to 2S0,000. Since that date 5,000 maunds (eighty pounds) have been sent to Chupra every day. Going north to Chumparuu, we find the corner between Nepaul and the Gorockpore district of the northwestern province more exposed to suffering, by the confession of the Bengal government, than even Northeastern Tirhoot and NV-rth Bhaaulpore. Ilamnugger is spoken of as the post of danger for the young civilian who is to save the people there till the rest crop. Sir Ii. Temple found the state of the people to D9 yery bad,' and he expects to have to feed 400,000 of them in the worst times. But Chumparan ciuses les anxiety than Tirhoot, because relief waa provided lor in lime by the planters themselves. So early as November, when my telegrams to you began to be gloomy, they lorraed a co"-operative association for the import of food, to be sold cheaply, when the crisis came. These planters are net only doing their duty to tbeirown district, but are helping Tirhoot. My correspondence from the 8eatamurhee aud Mudhobunee subdivision of Tirhoot shows how terrible the need was there a week ago, and how energetically Sir R. i emple is meeting it. In the IS days between his departure from Fatna, on tbe2Gth ot January, and his return on the lUih of February, he traveled 4M miles through a country which is comparatively roadless, aud the mud tracks of which are now so cut up by the relief carts that tbe drivers often prefer the fields. Writing on this day week, and passing hastily through the country, my correspondent saw no distress which he could call 'severe,' but lhe signs ot coming wretchedness are unmistakable. Men, wouieu and pigs grubbing together for roots in the fields; the violent robbery of houses and scores ol graiu, tili tbe well to-do Zemindars - tremble tor their hoards, and even their lives, like Hatto of the legend; frequent firws where grain is supposed to be hid ; mothers deserting their infants or otferiug to sell them; emaciated people on the roads, aud unfortunate beggars, who went so far as, on two occaaioua, to growl at Sir Klchard Temple when taking Iiis camp breakfast; abandoned babies fed with arrow root; I Uj pools, and even la?y Brahmins, driven to the road; people f all ages and both sexs crowding to the works. But all are provided lor. My correspudeut wrt?s: "1 believe that the only people wno will surfer severely will be the poor Ifttlo babies and ?otue few Individdais who pride aud pifjudice will prevent them Irom teeaing assistance, aud whose isolate! cases it may be Impossible to ascertain. Every effort is being, and will be made in their behalt I have Jost been visiting a nursery established by the "tlccadar" of this village, where there are now six sacking infants who are fed five or six times a day with arrow-root and milk. Bach poor, miserable, .. ! ... . , LITTLE PAREföS OF HUMASTTT , I never saw 'before! Bat since

been taken into the nursery they have thriven wonderfully. Search is being made for others in like circumstances." But lor the government relief thece cases would have

been much more numeroas. It is impossible In such a country, and with a people who are bo ignorant, timid, and caste-bound.tbat they should not occur under the best ar rangements. Sir George Campbell has sanctioned at once every order ot Sir R. Temple, and you may imagine the liberalitv of his orders when I say that' the lieutenant gov ernor publicly expresses a doubt whether relief on so very liberal a scale is within the means ot government whether it may dossibly not be beyond the means ot a great government to feed such a popu lation. ro money or labor is Deine spared in the attempt, at lease, but the government of India lost a month at starting, and that makes all the difference now. Sir George Campbell has now asked for 332,000 tons of grain for all the distressed districts, not including Nepaul, nor a reserve of 20,000 tons which the lieutenant governor wishes to keep for ominous fact! tbe eastern district. I am sanguine that the extraordinary efforts of the government will realty täte this grain ta tbe worst localities. What has been and is now beine sent may keep great mortality ofl till the many small steamers no w being prepared can pour in iood wnen tnenvers rise in June." ihe Daily News correspondent at Durbungah, under date February 20. writes thus: "Amono-the public relief works, which have been under taken in this subdivision for giving emoloyment to the destitute classes of the famine stricken community, is the construction of a new road from this station in an easterlv direction to Buheyra. a distance of about twelve miles. I was informed that at the Durbungah end of this work, and within a dis tance of some two miles from the town, un waru ui six vuousina persons men. women. i-tf, . - .r. j. auu cnuaren were employed, ana that at a rate oi remuneration which sufficed at least to avert physical deterioration from scant nessoffood. It seemed to me that an in spection oi mis industry would afford a pleasant relief to the scenesof misery which presented themselves with such relentless persistency Deiore my eyes as 1 sat In my tent on the Maldan of Durbungah finishing the letters which I sent you last week. It is no easy thing to write couerently with tbe MOAN OF MISERABLK STARVELINGS constantly in one's ears. Whenever I looked ud from the Daner there stood or snuattad before me outside the open door of the tent. some nan aozeu roriorn, hollow-eyed, ema ciated women, begging for food to keep tnem irom starving. Ii x called for the chu prassie to 'move them on for to work within sight or hearing of them was impos sible they went patiently away with the dull resignation of fatalists. But no sooner were they gone than others came. Lean mothers came, and laid down little children, that lay prone on the grass, as if thev were aeaa, ior tney were loo Jar gone in starvation to stand on their wasted little legs, and prayed for a morsel of food to save their little ones. Wretched old women, shriveled and starved almost out of human semblance. trotted over tbe grass to fall prostrate outside tbe tent, and pray, for relief while their gray hairs trailed among the dust. The air was full or the dull, monotonous houl in which relief is craved, as- a. marsh at eventime echoes with- the croaking of frogs. We rode forward npon the new road, the construction of which is remarkably good; the work, if slow, has certainly not. been scamped. There met us a wu iuuwuuwiiu w peopie, men, women buu i-uiKim inuiuiug iruui lue wums 10lrorv ward the town. It was not 4 o'clock, and it occurred to me aS strange that the day's work should to all appearance be over so early. In answer to my question, Mr. Uenry tola me mat oy reason ot the defective su perintendence the people employed did just what they please, came early and left late, or came late and went away early as seemed good to them. Certainly it was obvions that very many preierred to go away early. After rd?Z ab,out .b,alf a n?ile. we reached an open field on the side of the line of road. There are two trees, under one of which sat a native accountant, with a ledger; under the other a native cashier, with a cash book and a pile of uncouth copper money on a cloth by bia aide. Around these two calm methodical officials, close about whom a few native policemen kept a ring with their sticks, there thronged a dense mass of people, numbering 2,000 at the very least. We had heard clamor a? we approached, but this was nothing to the din that assailed us as we rode up. The people crowded in upon the horses quite regardless of the risk ol beirg kicked or trodden on, imploring with clasped hands, shouting at the top of their voices wnrNrNo piteocslt in feeble accents, some of the women weeping silently. It was a strange spectacle the punctiliously methodical baboos on their mats under the trees, doing their little sums in quarter and half farthiags, with grave, unmoved deliberation; outside the circle around them the close packed throngs, with drawn faces and eager eyes, praying for the bits of copper which would keep them from starvation praying for the money which they had earned, but which they could not get by reason of the red-tape punctilios o' the circumlocution office. I felt my wrath stirring at the deliberate baboos although they were doing their best. Why, I was asking myself, should the payment of all this multitude he charged uoon two men when tan rauniAnt

counteis would be none too many?" I leltTTTTS AND TEPTTRPR Y

the my eyes, my ears helped me nothing, in ig norance of the language. But as the crowd surged aud clamored around Mr. Worsley, every man, woman and child, with the same Karrot-like phrase on their lips, I saw that is brow grew dark and bis lips quiverek. "My God," be asked of Henry in a low, earnest tone, "my God," is this true?" " I fear it is," was Henry's reply. What, think you, was it that was true true? What was that, phrase which came parrot-like from every thin lip, while every gaunt face and wolfish eye swore to its truth more strongly . i . i i. . i ii & . . . . tnau me weiguueafr -oatnsr -e nave not been paid for four -days.' The miserables did not waste words in asseverating that they were starving; the most emaciated of them were allowed to come to the front, and the skeleton forms told that part of the story with unpleasant plainness, while the explanation was furnished in the dogged grating, and when you knew Its meaning, the maddening utterance, 'We have not been Faid for four days.' For myself, could not speak; I felt tongue-tied, partly with awe, in the presence ot such a mass of gastly suffering, partly by wrath too deep for words against the man or men responsible for a neglect so hideously loquacious. There was a tremor in Mr. Worsley's voice as he said to me, in a low tone. 'We had better ride on.' On we rode in silence through the gauntlet of grim starvation. Were we never to escape from that knell-like clamor 'We have not been paid for four 4ays.' It struck the ear in every key. Iiig-franied, square-shouldered men thundered it at us with a ring of menance. Feeble beings sent it at us with meekness, in . which, : nevertheless, . there was a tone of upbraiding . reproach. The miserable children piped tbe hateful chorus in feeble accents in which already there was the pitiful -tenacity of fast-approaching death. But worst "of all to bear were the silent ones the creatures who seemed absolutely to lack strength to call out, but who, as they squatted, making pretence to beat embankment with a twig Ior a rammer, or, past this sham of labor, lay huddled under the mango-trees, looked up at us In heartbreaking Bilence, with wistful, fading eyes, and faces that were drawn as one baa seen a faoe on the deathbed. .? ,
