ntOMETIIING OF THE SALARIES AND FORT US his OF NOTED PLAYERS.
With a LiUle of the Inner Life of the rets of the I'ublic. 'fv?
People who occupy public positions in some sort of way belong to tbe public, or at least tbo dear public imagines they do, and hence a very general curiosity about their private life, their ways and habits behind tbe curtain Actors and uctresses come in for a largo share of this curiosity, and that ''public, upon wboso approving smiles their whole fortune and happiness depond, hugely enjoy any little bits of information regarding tbe fortunes aod domestic relations of their favorites.
Most wonderful stories are told and more tli.in tacitly encouraged, as a rule, both by tbe parties concorned and amusement managers in general, about the wealth and enormous salaries of tbe popular peoplo. The New York Kuwsdishes up quite an interesting lot of this sort of intelligence, which we present for what it Is worth.
TUB OI'KKA.
KTaJftTilo Lucca Is the first one presented. This little lady, says the writer, who for ten years has been the admiration of Kurope, has nppenred in all the principal opera-houses of Europe and made a great deal of money. She married two years ago a Prussian baron, an ofllcrr in the army. The money hbo had made In ton years ho squandered in one. Before sho came here, mIjo—liUccu—was obliged to pledgo a pari other jewelry to pay bis debts.

Sbe now lives at No. 17 Hast Fourteenth street, in a Very unostentatious manner, and earns, during tho season, £1,009 for each night mIic wing*. This is not us much as Niltwon, who was paid $1,000 in gold, tor each performance, and shared with the manager after $3,000 receipts. Her earnings never ran below $1,500, and HometiiiKH reached $.'1,000 in a single night. Nllsson took with her from this country about $400,000 for her two treasons ol song. Madame Lucca will probably take about $7i,000, which aftor iiIIMh pretty nspectablo. Kellogg in paid $."00 for each night sho sings.

They do say that Harry Beckett is worth $70,000. When he came to this country in 1868, his salary was $76 per week. Now it has been raised to $150. The happv family, when at the Occidental hotel here, had its turmoils. The pretty Catnille Dubois left a short time. Things didn't suit her. Rose Coghlan also separated her menage from that of tbe others. The attempts to domesticate a whole company in onehostelry failed as usual. The petty jealousies of the stage are too much lor human nature.
Lvdia expected that Amy Sheridan would be the same card in this country that she was in England. Amy, bowever, failed to hit the popular idea, and she felt the rebuff which attends all actresses who do not accomplish what is expected of them. She also left her quarters at the Occidental and went to the "Maison Doree," where she had a charming suite of rooms furnished in exquisite style. Amy had a love ot the beautiful, and, above all, liked to show it in the arrangement and pretty decoration of her rooms. Birds and flowers are her delight, and her partiality for them is readily seen in some beautiful dracenias and rose bushes which adorn her parlor, as well as in several gilded cage* made melodious by feathered songsters.

adjuncts to the actor. Lester is now 53 years of age, and is worth about $250 000. Tbe income from bis theater averages $40,000 a year—a pretty neat income. His business manager and factotum, Mr. Theodore Moss, is worth about $100,000, which has been made mainly by speculations in Wall street. He alvrays has the theater for tha summer season. lie made about $12,000 by it this seasou. Though a plain and unobtrusive gentleman himself, his wife is known as tbe best dressed lady in the city, and his eqnipages are tbe most perfect and beautiful-
Old John Gilbert is a line old actor, who earns his $100 per week, and has put by in his long lifetime the snug little sum of 20,000. It has been fully earned. During tho present season Mr. Sothern will have apart in the managemeut of tbo theater. This gentleman everybody knows by bis personation ot Lord Dundreary. In bis successful run with bis character he made In England an ample fortune and lived like a prince. He has very gorgeous tastes, and lovos hounds and the chase and Une horses,, and all the extras which make life pleasant in England. Mr. Sothern is also a gentleman who is getting on in life, and must be vary near tho fifties, so near, indeed, that the differences is not worth talking about. Many old faces have faded from Wallack's this season. Charles Fisher receives $50 a week Rockwell $40 of Daly's, Plessy Dordaunt $80 and Emily Mastaver $50 at the Union Square, and so on. They are scattered all over.
WHAT DALY PAYS.
The largest salary list in the city at present is at tho Grand Opera house. Mr. Daly pays John Brougham $300 a week Rose Horsee, $500 Mrs. John Wood, $000 Stuart Robson, $150 Robert Craig, $100. John Brougham still lives in Fourteenth street, where he keeps open house. Rose llersee lives with her mother in one of tho streets adjoining the theatre, and Mrs. John Wood at a fashionable hotel. Mrs. Wood is a lady over 40 vears of age, and still has tbo charms of youth.
At the Fifth avenue, where there is, perhaps, much better acting, tbe little company still remains the same as it did, with few exceptions. George Clark has returned ana earns his $125 a week, also the magnificent Miss Davenport, whom Bouclcault has pronounced to be one of the best light comedy actresses of the day in any country. She is certainly one of the most beautiful of women. Her salary is $150 a week, aud.the manager pays oue-half the expense of her dresses.

Mr. Edwin Booth has now no partner in his management of the theatre which bears hTs name.

The theatre, therefore, at present belongs to Mr. Booth. During the past few years this gentleman has livea very moderately, he being anxious to pay off" the debts upon the theatre as speedily as possible. He has succeeded beyond his expectations. Mr. and Mrs. Booth (Miss Mary McVickar) livo in the theatre building on Sixth avenue. They occupy the third floor, and Mr. Booth has furnished and decorated it in most beautilul style. Mr. McGonige, one of tbe be&t gentlemen in the business, is paid as business manager the highest salary given to any one in his position in the city. His salary is $6,000.

The Little Milliner.

George Lennox was a clerk in the wholesale grocery store ot Messrs. Moore St Reese, in one of our Eastern cities. He was an ambitious young man, bad many bright hopes for the future, and was generally in good spirits, though the great highway of life seemed dark and the surs of hope sboue dimly on his path. But George was honest, and the Messrs. Moore & Reese had long since come to tbe conclusion that he was just the clerk'tor them.
Some distance from Messrs. Moore & Reese's—away down the street a quarter of a mile, perhaps, and nearly opposite George's boarding place, was a milliner's shop—a real fancy shop, with a handsome sign, large windows, with splendid curtains on the inside, displaying a rich and beautiful array of those dear, dear treasures that so delight the fair, viz: dear little beauties of bonnets, all styles and trimmed in every imaginable way, with bright ribbons and delicate flowers formed with exquisite taste by the fairy hands of blooming maidens.
Were not these attractions? Yes,— George never passed tbe doors of Maddame Josephine Lavelle, from Paris, without casting a glance into tho window or through those beautiful plateglass doors.
George did so often, for he often passed on his way to and from his boarding house but it was not for tho sake of catching a sight of tbe bonnets or ribbons ot Madame Josephine, for be could see them equally as fine in other millinery shops in the neighborhood, but it was to steal a glance and get a look as often as possible at Madame's little Jennie Irving, or "Tbe Queen of Beauty," as she was called.
Yes, Jennie, the orphan, or "poor orphan," as so'me termed her, was Maddame's favorite apprentice and possessed the first love of George Lennox sbe bad caught a prize worth angling for and in our hero's estimation she was the mftst bewitching of maidens.
George continued to attend to business closely, but his evenings wore generally his own, and then when Jennie was not busy, of course they had very delightful times.
Jennie was not by any moans without other admirers. Many a young man in the neighborhood would discommode himself much to accomodate ber and consider himself well paid if he could thus win a smile or a ''thank you" from her libs.
But George was her favorite lover, and he assiduously improved his opportunities until it was finally whis-

into his father's store one atternoon soon after Gaorae's conversation with the elder Mr. Moore. "Ah, ha, in love, eh?"
Well, yes—I suppose might as well own up at first aa last," said George, with a plea«ant smile.
Of course, you might," replied the former. "What is her dower Youth, beauty and a contented mind, is her dower," replied George, "and that is enough tot me."
Enongh!—that'll support you, eh?" said Moore, provokingly. No, but it still make ine happy," said George.
Happiness and poverty are two exactly opposite, in my opinion," said Tom, "and such as yon will not find, I'm thinking, to reconcile to oach other."
I'll try it," said George. "Well, do, if you please." replied Tom, sneering, "and by and by report progress. I fancied that girl myself, hut I'm sure I can't marry a beggar. A wife without money is a poor prize in my estimation."
Jennie is no beggar," was on George's lips in reply, but ere he had time to speak he was summoned to a customer.
Jennie will show her yalue yet," said a low musical voice behind him, and turning he saw Jennie, who had glided noislessly in to bring him an invitation to a party which she had just received for him, holding another also inherhand, on which her own name was distinctly written.
She had unintentionally heard young Tom Moore's remark, and well understood its meaning—much better in fact, than George understood the hidden meaning of hers when she said, with unusual emphasis, "Jennie will shoW them her value yet."
But a few days elapsed ere the story got around that George had been offered the hand of the lich Mr. Moore's daughter in marriage and had declined it for that of Jennie Irving.
Some wondered at his choice while others considered it one tor true love, and consequently oneof wisdom.
Time wore away, and a year bronght around the day fixed for their wedding. One evening, but a few days previous to the time appointed, they were conversing together at Jennie's aunt's house, where she boarded.
We shall be obliged to have a plain wedding, I suppose, my dear," said George, "and commence lifo in a snug way, for mv income is not large, you know
As you please, George," was tbe reply, "any way that is most agreeable to'vou, and in which we can live the happiest. But, sbe said, with a light ringing laugh, "are you not going to take mo to church in your carriage?"
In a carriage, perhaps," said George, "though probably not in my carriage, as I have not the pleasure of owning one." "Just so," said Jennie. "Well, then suppose I send mine after you."
Yours!—that would be a joke for a milliner girl, hardly out of her apprenticeship, to set up a carriage ot her own, and send after her intended on the morning of her wedding." "Stranger things have happened." "Yes, maybe but the thing does not seem possible, or at least probable in our case. You were not born for fortune, Jennie." "Indeed replied Jenhie, "your remarks are not calculated to give me a very exalted opinion of my condition in life but I will forgive my future husband this time. He has not yet very closely investigated uiy personal history. Of one thing I am certain, however, and that affords me a little gratification you did not marry me for my money, 'little beggar' as I am, or at least as Mr. Tom Moore thought fit to designate me."
Nothing more was said about fortunes then but George had a sudden surprise in store for him, somewhat startling and as unexpected as any event that ever could happen to any mortal.
On his bridal morning, as he was dressing at his boarding house, an elegant carriage with a span of milk-whi'.e horses stopped at tho door, and the driver, springing from bis seat, rang the bell and inquired for Mr. George Lennox.
What does this mean was George's first thought. "I engaged a carriage, but not near as elegant a one as this. There is something wrong here."
You've made some mistake in the name," he said, to the driver. I think not, sir," said tbe driver.
Then who sent you here," questioned George. Miss Jennie Irving." "Jennie? impossible."
Yes, sir, that's her name, and this is her carriage and hortie." "Jennie Irving," said George to himself, musingly, "what street does she live on?"
Ran street, No. 39, sir." ••The same. Ah, dear girl," thought he, "she is trying to mystify me a little by sending round a carriage at her own expense for no doubt she pays for it out of her own hard earnings. Weir, I will gratify her, and take a ride down to her aunt's in her carriage, as the driver calls it. It is bis hers, I suppose, while she hires it."
So in luinped.our hero and was soon at Jennie's door. How do you like my traveling establishment?" said Jeunie, as George entered tbe room.
Ob, first rate'" was the reply "it is splendid. I see you practice woman's rights and hire your own oarriage. Well, there's no harm in that, it will answer admirably to-day, and then the owner will have it, I suppose
Undoubtedly, aaid Jennie, with a pleasant smile. After their marriage at the church, they returned to Jennie's aunt's and sat down to await tbe arrival of a few friends, whom they were going to treat a viands prepared for the occasion.
Why don't the driver take the carVlaae home Perhaps he is awaiting tbe order of ie owner," replied Jennie. "tfs bwner! where is he

lieve y«u must be crazy, Jennie"' exclaimed George. "No, I am not."
Well, then, what do you mean said he. "Ex^ain yourself. There is some mystery that I don't understand." "I know that you don't understand it, dear, and now I have mystified you a Uttle, I will solve the riddle."
And then Jennie, with sparkling eyes snd in her happiest mood, told him her parenta had died when sbe was quite young and left her penniless, and in the care of her aunt, who had adopted her, and that forty jrears before a wealthy uncle in England—her father's brothers—had died, leaving her his property, amounting to seventy five thousand dollars, ana that there was so much courting heireses for their money, che had resolved to keep the matter a secret, and pass among tbe people as a dependent for her support upon her own exertions from day to day, so that if sh9 were wooed at all, it might'be for herseir, and not for her money, and that tor this reason she had served an apprenticeship in a milliner's shop. "Am I dreaming?" exclaimed George amazed at a revelation from Jennie's lips so startling and unexpected, and which increased, if possible, the esteem he had already had tor her who could conceive so noble a project and so effectually carry it out.
No, George, it is no dream, but a pleasing reality. You know I said 'Jennie would show her value yet.' I then referred to my lortune. Of my value aside from that it is not for me to speak. And now," said she, looking confidingly into the face of him whose love she prized higher than all her treasures, "Jennie intrusts to you herself and ber fortune without fear of their safe keeping."
George's income was now amply sufficient for his and Jennie's wante. but being one who abhorred idleness, he-in a few daysepened a wholesale grocery in the city, and was soon engaged in an extensive and flourishing business.

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely Interest characterlstli ot ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature and a collection of pictures, the rarest *peclmcns of artistic skill, In blnclt and white. Although each succeeding number aitords a fresh pleasure to Its iriuuds, the real valuo and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it has beeu bound up at the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior clieapnens. as compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE Is a unique nnd oilglnal conception—alone and unapproaclied—absolutely without competition in price or oliar* actcr. The possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine paper tud engravings In any other shape or number of volumes for ten times Us coat and then, there arc the chromocs, bc*idc»!
