HAUTE,

NOV. 1,1879

BEHIND THE SCENES. EC0LIAKITIE8 AND ECCENTRICITIES OF DISTINGUISHED ACTORS.

St. Loo la Post.

Fanny Davenport drinks champagne and beer behind the scenes. She is generally liked by everybody, and has a very lively disposition is generoas to the extreme. Although noted for her magnificent toilette on the stage, off of it she is exceedingly slovenly in her attire. She is kind to every one about her, and particularly to newspaper men. She is adapted to comedy, but she delights in and is always eager to play tragedy. Although a large woman, physically, she is as weak as a dish rag and always suffers from the strain or her performance. Although weighing over two hundred pounds, she is anxious to play Juliet. She makes a very buxom belle of Verona.

Janauschek is truly German in tastes and disposition. She is particularly addicted to sauer kroat ana sausages, and can quaff large quantities of lager beer, wbicn is always sent to her behind the scenes. She is very kind to her people, and is a woman of wonderful talent. Her husband is Mr. Pilot, who is the opposite of bis wife in disposition. He is intrusive and makes himself disliked at the theatres by interfering with matters with which he has no concern. He is close listed and exceedingly fond of whisky, of which it is said be frequently partakes too much.

Lawrence Barrett is a cultured gentlemen and a fine scholar. In his habits he is very domestic. He is very disagreeable in disposition, and has few friends in the profession. In fact, he is generally disliked by his professional associates. At rehearsals he is overbearing, sometimes verging on the insulting. His infirmities of temper are probably the cause of this. He neither drinks nor smokes. His wife always accompanies him and attends him behind the scenes. He has a splendid family of three daughters, and has made a great deal of money. Cobasset, Maws., is bis bo me, where he owns a splendid residence. He was at one time connected with John McCullough in the management of the California Theatre. He afterwards became the manager of the Varieties Theatre, New Orleans, a first class house, where be lost large sums of money. He is ambitious of assuming the mantieof Edwin Booth when It falls from the great tragedian's shoulders. He is striving bard for the foremost place in the profession. Off the stage he is always acting when be goes in to dinner be acts Hamlet, and when be walks in the street be acts Hamlet.

Maggie Mitchell, or Mrs. Henry Paddock, Is the mother of two children. In business matters she Is very strict, and in stage matters a perfect disciplinarian. In everything that pertains to her plays she is very exact, wants evervtnlng as she desires, and is consequently sometimes a little unpleasant to people behind the curtains from this fact. Off the stage she lu a sood humored, kind, generous woman. She is bg hearted and supports an Immense family consisting of nearly a thousand "sisters and cousins and aunts," all of whom she takes care of. She has been and Is yet very wealthy, although she has met with financial reverses, owing to the shrinkage In real estate. She has sunk $40,000 in this manner. Mr. Paddock, her husband, always accompanies her on her tours and acts as her business manager. He is a good fellow and popular. He and Maggie live at LongBranoh In an elegant residence which was formerly the property of J. H. MoVloker, of Chicago.

Joseph Jefferson, or Joe Jefferson, a. everybody calls, nim, drinks whisky. He haa bad a lung disease and drinks "Bourbon" to strengthen him. He lives well, and probably is the richest actor in the profession. "Rip Van Winkle" has brought him an immense fortune. In Louisiana he owns a magnificent plantation, where he spends the winter months. He acts very seldom, only acoepting a few engagements every season At Honocua, N. J., he also has a very fine residence, where he has everything that money oan buy. He has two sons, Charles and Tomt and one daughter, who has married Farjson, the English novelist. He Is very attentive at rehearsals, to which be demands strict attention from the company. Contrary to the general opinion, before Jefferson played ,4Rlp

Van Winkle" he was con

sidered the finest comedian on the American stage, iu all legitimate comedy works. He has been married twice. Jefrerson is also a very distinguished painter, and one of his pictures is now on exhibition at art hall, out at the fair ground. He is a highly cultivated man and possessed of great refinement and taste in art matters.

Clara Louise Kellogg in intensely disagreeable behind the scenes and is disliked by evorybody connected with the theatre—stage carpenter and everybody else Her mother, who always accompanies her, is ten times worse aad she makes it hot for all who come in contact with her. When Clara Louise arrives at the theatre she wants the dressing room altered to suit her, and more gas burners put in, so that she may have more light to dress by. In fact she wants all the resources of the theatre at her command, to the disadvantage of everybody else.

Annie Louise Cary is the opposite of Kellogit. She is jolly, pleasant and agreeable to everybody. She la liked by all, from the manager down to the "supe." She drinks the foamyjflnld behind the scenes.

Thk

words of the old song, Lorena,"

once so popular, are taid to have been •written by the Rev. M. D. L. Webster, of Neman, Wis. Mr. Webster, in his young dayiK so the story goes, fell very ranch in love with a young lady of Zanesville, Ohio, who reciprocated his passion, but whose family strongly objected to her choice. The result was a separation, painful, but final, fhe lady wrote him a last letter, in which she xme& the words. "If we try we may forget," afterward employed in the song, ooming In at the close of astanxa:

For "If we trr may forget," Were words of thins long yean ago* The last verse is as follows: Yes, thane were words of thine. Larva*

Theybora within my memory ye* They touch some tender chords, JLanus,

Which thrlU and tremble with regret, Tbsrslsa futur*. Oh I thank Qod, Of life this Is ao small a part. TisdtMttodost beneath utesod*

Bat there', up Owm, U* heart to bean. Both parties are married now, and no doubt happy: bat the carious story of one of the most popular songs ever published in this oountry will interest thousands tc whom It was oaoeaote-

A PRACTICAL SERMON.

POKEft BILL'S FIRST ATTEMPT AT PREACHING THE, GOSPEL.

Says the San Francisco Argonaut:, "Leadville, Colorado, has experienced religion, and Faro Bill, one of lie moat distinguished citizens, presched the other day, in the absence of—as he expressed it—"the boss mouthpiece of the besvenly hill," to a large and select audience, in the variety theatre of the place, used on Sundays as a church. This is the way the substitute began: ««Feller citizens, the preacher beln' absent, it falls on me to take his hand and play it fur all it is worth. You all know that I'm just learnin' the game, sn', of course, 1 may be expected to make wild breaks, but I don't believe thar's a rooster in the camp mean enough to take advantage o' my ignorance, and cold deck me right on the first deal, I'm sincere in this new departure, an' I ame that I can out copperin' a tackles such a lay out as this, he plays every card to win, and if he goes through the deal as he orter do, when he lays down to die, an' the last case is ready to slide from the box be can call the turn every time. "I was readin' In the Bible to-day that yarn about the Prodigal Son, and I want to tell yer the story, The book don't give no dates, but it bs'ppened long, long ago. This Prodlgsl Son had an old man that put up the coin every time the kid struck him for a stake, an' never kicked at the size of the pile, either. I recon the old man was pretty well fixed, an' wben he died he intended to give all bis wealth to this kid an' his brother. Prod give the old man a little game o' talk one day, and injuced him to whack up in advance o' the death racket. He'd no sooner got his divvy in bis fist than be shook tne old man an' struck out to take In some o' the other camps. He bed away up time for a while, an' slung his cash to the front like he owned the best payln' lead on earth but hard luck bit him a lick at last, an' left him flat. The book don't state what he went broke on, but I recon he got steered up agin some brace game. But anyhow he got left without a chip, or a four-bit piece to go an' eat on. An old granger then tuk him home, an' set him to berdin' hogs, an' here he got so hard up an' hungry that he piped off the swine while they were feedin' an' he stood in with 'em on a husk lunch. He soon weakened on such plain provender, an says to himself, says he: 'Even the old man's hired bands are livin' on square grub, while I'm worryln' along here on corn husks straight. I'll just take a grand tumble to myself, an' chop on this racket at once. I'll skip back to the governor and try to ffx things up, and call fur anew deal.' So off be started. "The old man seed the kid a coming, and what do you reckon he did? Did he pull his gun and lay for him, intending to wipe him as soon as be got into range? Did be call the dogs to chase him off the rancbe? Did he hustle around for a club and give him a stand off at the front gate? Eh? Not to any alarming extent he didn't no, sir. The Scripture book says he waltzed out to meet him, and froze to him on the spot, and kissed him, and then marched him off to a clothing store and fitted him out in the nobbiest rig to be had for coin. Then the old gent invited all the neighbors, and killed a fat calf, and gave biggest blow-out the camp overseen."

At the conclusion of the narrative the speaker paused, evidently framing in his mina a proper {application of the story. Before he could resume a tall blear-eyed gambler, with a fierce mous tache, arose and said 'Tain't me as would try ter break up a meeting, or do anything disrelig lous. No, sir I am not that sort of citizen. But iu sll public boo-doos it is a parliamentary rule for anybody as wants to ax questions to rise up an' fire them off. I do not want ter fool away time questioning the workings of re liglon oh, no. As long as it is kept in proper bounds, snd does not interfere with the boys in their games, I do not see as it can do harm. I just want ter ax the honorable speaker if be has not given himself dead away? Does it stand ter reason that a bloke would feed upon corn huskB whon there was hash fac tories in tbecamp? Would anybody hev refused him the price of a square meal if he had struck them for it Would an of tbe dealers tbst beat 'him out of hi coin see him starve? As I remarked afore, I do not want to make any disrespectable breaks, but I must say that I got it put up that the speaker baa I trying ter feed us on cussed thin taffy, and no one but a silly would take It up."

BUI glared upon the spesker and fairly hissed: "Do you mean to say that I am a liar?" "Wal, you can take it last as you choose, some folks would swallow it in that shape."

Bill pulled bis revolver, and, in an instant the bright barrels of numerous weapens flashed in the air as the friends of each party prepared for active duty. The brevet preacher was the first to fire, and the rash doubter of splritusl truths fell dead on the ground. Shot followed abot in quick succession, and wben quiet was again restored a score or more of dead and wounded men were carried from the tent. Having secured attention, Bill said:

Further proceedings is adjourned for theday. You will receive tbe doxology." Tbe audienoe arose. "May grace, mercy, and peace be with you, now and forever, amen. And I want it distinctly understood that I am going to maintain a proper respect for tbe gospel if I have to croak "every son-or-a gun of a sinner in tbe mines. Meetin' is out."

The crowd filed from the tent as coolly as if nothing extraordinary bad occurred, and a man remarked: "Bill has got the ssnd to make a bangup preacher, and I would not wonderlf be made a big mark in the world yet."

DRESSING FOR TBE MATINEE. HOW THE 'FRISCO LA.DY PERFORMS THE DELICATE OPERATION

San Francisco Chronicle.

Yesterday the reporter called upon a lady with whom she bsd been acquainted some time, and explained that ahe had heard abe was going to a matinee, and that she desired to witness the modus operandi to which a lady was subjected before appearing among the fashionables. Consent was accorded, provided the name of tbe lady was withheld from publication. After a few moments of pleasant and friendly chat upon subjects always welcome to the female mind—dress and the newest fashions—tbe process was commenced.

THE PACE

Was first bathed in some warm water, into which bad been infused a few drops of atropia—commonly known as belladonna. This is used to dilste tbe pupils of the eyes. After this a pearly white liquid was applied to the face with a fine, soft sponro. This preparation contains flake white, glycerine, bismuth, benzoin, gum Arsbic, drop chalk, chrome, oarmine, alcohol and water. When this application was dry, some blanc de perle powder was put on with a fine piece of chamois leather, and a slight touch of rouge was applied over the eyelids and upon the temples and upper part of the cheeks. Then the vicinity of the temples was touched up with a yellowish pigment, the eyelashes and eyebrows were blackened with India ink, applied with the smallest imaginable brush brows which are originally of a classical shape are beauti fully arobed with the brusb so as to al most defy detection, except upon the closest scrutiny, and a alight flesh tint was artistically applied to the nostrils snd sround the ears, producing a shell like appearance. Next in order of atten tion came tbe lips, whose naturally red tint was heightened by an application of vermeil. A small camel's hair pencil with a bluish coloring matter, then heightened tbe effect of tbe delicate blue veins showing through the semi-trans-parent skin. Tbe finishing touch was then put to the face by placing a piece of courtplaster about an eighth of an inch square near one corner of' tbe mouth. Tbe arms were now looked after. They were covered with a French cream, then delicately powdered. Next in order were

THE HANDS,

Naturally so delicate and beautiful as to seem to preclude tbe possibility of any thing beinz done to heighten their obarms. Not so. They had been cased in cosmetic gloves over night. Creme de veloutine was then softly rubbed over them. The nails were then pared with a peculiar cutter, filed and scraped, and a polishing powder applied to them. As in the face, the effect of. the veins was increased by tbe application of the blue brush. Next came the poudre de velou tine, and the work upon tbe hands was completed. As the hat was to be worn comparatively little attention was pale to tne coiffure, a simple dressing of braids in front of the bat and crim over the forehead being deemed sul cient. But as a few gray hairs had made their appearance, an application of brown cosmetic caused them to disappear for the time being. Elegant ear pendants were inserted in the lobes of the ears, and the lady was now ready to be enrobed in tbe tight fitting princess walking costume, which operation was finally, after no little difficulty, accom

Ele

lished by the efforts of her indefatiga maid. The high heeled French but toned boots encased the tiny feet— whether naturally narrow or otherwise, the reporter 1s not able to say, as the beautiful silken hose had already been donned prior to her arrival. The bat was adjusted, and tbe six buttoned gloves, after much difficulty, were drawn on, leaving the two lower but tons unfastened, for though they were No. 6^, QM would have been a better fit. The wrists were encircled by rich bracelets over the long gloves. The costly bit of lace yclept, a mouchoir de pocfie, was then perfumed with one of Lubin's most delicate extracts, a few eardamon seeds and pellets of oacbou to sweeten the breath were dropped into the portmannale the silver vinaigrette with smelling salts was suspended to tbe chatelaine, and the feather tipped ivory fan attached to the bead chain and hung around the waist. The parasol was then taken In hand, but more as an ornament than for use, and as a means of occupying tbe hands graoefully, for it was a cloudy day. She was now all ready to sally forth to "see and be seen." But before departing a glass of creme de oognac was imbibed to make the eyes sparkle and exhiler|te, toe apirits. AN OLD QIRL WHO KNOWS HOW

IT IS HERSELF.^sm

TERES HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT.

Olive Logan.

A woman's safeguard la to keep man's hands off her. If you need his assistance in walking, take his arm Instead of him taking yours. Just tell him in plain Engllah to "handaoff." He may not like it at first but he will re«ct you in tbe future ten-fold more, en will be and do just what the worn en allow them to do. Men will not do to trust. Give a man your arm and you will find htm very confidential, and be will take a great many privileges he would not take if he was not permitted to do so. He will give your arm many loving squeezes and aly twists that he oould have no opportunity of doing, and the opportunity is just what he ia after. A few words more of advioe, and I close, Keep young girls off the street except when they nave business. Teach them it la unnecessary to go to the postofflce every time they go out. Your girls can walk alone just as well as your boys. Don't allow your girls, if they must have a beau, to go with boys much older than themselves. If pomble, instill Into their very nature that they are safer in the bands of any man—preachers not excepted.

GONE TO JOIN WISE.

St. Charles (Mo.) Special to Ctn. Enquirer, Will Brayton, the aeronaut, made an ascension here at one o'clock. Tbe balloon barely escaped being dashed to pieces against the aides of the bouses

feared that tbe balloon became unmanageable and Brayton, with no clothing but tight?, would not be able to endue the cold long. Mr. Doyney, of Louisiana, editor or the Journal, aad nephew of Professor Wise, assisted Brayton.

RULES MORWRITINO- A POSTAL CARD. First—Write a verr fine hand. For If you don't you will be tmabloto say all that you want to.

Second—After you have written from top to bottom, turn the card side ways and write on top of tbe other, If you have filled tbe card writing both ways, and you still think of something you want to say, turn over and write on the faee of the card, so that It will coat your friend five cents to get It out of the office. These are Important rules, and abould be obesrved in all oaess.

WHAT GRANT REALLY WANTS. Washington Republic. I

have tbe information from the highest possible source—next to the general himself—that Grant is really indifferent to the question of the presidency. What be wanta is to enter into an active business life, where good sense, practical judgment and hard work will win pecuniary reward. General Grant, were be to follow his own inclinatlona, would be the prealdent of a great railroad oompany. He finda himself on bis return to his own country greatly reduced in fortune,-and bis two years of travel, fessting and idleness have given him an appetite for hard physical work and mental occupation.

THE LIBEL LAW THA TIS TO BE. Northern Indlanlan. In the libel law that Is to be passed by our next legislature—for it is conceded that the Grubbs Isw, while very good in some particulars, islame in this—a clause must be inserted compelling plaintlffla to give bond for the costai they msy make, and if the defendant is proven innocent, then, too, the bond should cover all tbe costs in tbe case. This would be no more than fair, for it is an outrage that should not longer be submitted to, that a man, purely for Bplte work, shall be subjected to great loss just to gratify some dead beat's desire for revenge for fancied or trumped-up grievances. ____________ ... .DON'T. 4 Exchange.

Don't insult a poor man. His muscles may be well developed. Don't color meerschaums for a living. It is simply dying by inches.

Don't terow dust In your teacher's eyes. It'will injure the pupil. Don't turn up your nose at light things. Think of bread and taxation.

Don't boast of your pedigree. Many a fool has had a wise ancestor. Don't buy a coach to please your wife. Better make her a little sulky.

Don't write long obituaries. Save some of your kind words for those living.

Don't publish your act of charity. The Lord will keep tbe account straight. Don't put on airs with your new clothes. Remember your tailor is auf fering.

A WEATHER PROPHECY. Philadelphia Record.

PROMT PA YMENT.

Few persons are at all aware of the evil done toothers, or tbe injury Inflioted on themselves, by tbe single neglect of punctuality as to tbe payment of debts. There are many men of business who would not have their note in the bank unpaid at maturity for anything. or a debt of honor forgotten, and yet they say to their poor creditors, "Go and come again," time upon time. In deed, with many men tbe whole bal ance lying in their banker's bands so ostentatiously to preserve their credit, is made up of small sums long over-due but out of which tbe proper owners are meanly kept by various devices. With some it is mere carelessness, with others a settled principle, that It is never safe or wise to pay out* any sum of money so long as the payment can, by any art or artifice, be aelayed. They mean to pay but not until the last practicable moment. Were it a debt of honor, they would pay it directly but a mechanic's account or a store account of a few dollars may be sent for and sent for a dozen times, and there is no sense of wrong or even impolicy in all this delay.**#

1 WEATHER PREDICTIONS. ,j C. C. Blake, of Decatur, Illinois, who has gained some celebrity for aocuracy as a weather calculator, makes, the following predictions:

November, 1879—1 hardly know what to say about tbi8 montn my calculations make it a sort of a "chopped sea" conglomerate mixture of all kinda of weather, but not very oold.

Deoember, 1879—Will be like Novem ber, "only more so." It will be warm, wet and disagreeable cold snaps will be short and sharp. ,,

January, 1880—Will be rather warm, wet and muddy, part of tbe time. There will be some cold weather, but no steady cold weather.

February, 1880—Will be much like January—a oonaiderable amount of rain and snow, and a moderate amount of cold weather.

March, 1880—Will be changeable rather wet, especially in the middle of the month, and only moderately celd.

Tbe winter of 1879-80 will be warm and wet, with a few oold snaps of limited duration bot it will be colder than the winter of 1877-78.

CONSTIPATION,

Bead the following from the Rev, E, Kent, a prominent Presbyterian Minister of Shelby

County, Indiana.

About four months ago I ueed two bottles of Taraxlne for habitual constipation, with which I had been troubled greatly for many years. It gave me complete relief but

did not need to use as full doses as recommended. It also removed a continued feeling of soreness and oppression over the reglous of the liver and stomach, and also greatly Improved my digestion, which had be^n very poor for many years. I have taken none for the last two months, but my improved conditlou still continues. I might say I have thoroughly tested several popular6tomacli bitters, and can confidently say I regard the Taraxine far superior to anything I have used.

Read What the Rev. W. W, Walden Says:

BEDFORD, Livingston co., Mo.. June 26, 1875.

A. KnsFER: Dear Slr—I look upon patent medicines as nostrums sent abroad merely for the purpose ot makiug money as a general thing. I bave been a subject to dyspepsia or indigestion, and liver complaint for years, and for Ave months the pant winter was notaJble to get out or attend to any business whatever. I tried several remedies, but with little benefit. Finally I coueluded to test the virtue of your Taraxlne, and feel proud to say have reoelved great benefit, and believe It to be the best remedy of the kind in use and can, without hesitation, recommend it to all like sufferers.

Respectfully, W. W. Warden.
