4 Visit to the Properly Iloonms ofthe St. Charles Theatre.

Ae Old I)rry. 't rei' was a siort of misty

t•ilight resting over the Ir1go auditorium,

•through which the' stage as far hack as thi

erar wall Icould e sen. 'lThe curtaln, which

bad fallen upon the last nat of last season's

performance, had hben raised, andi on either'

sideof the stage, silent and moody, rested

ihe incongruous wlngs of somel forest scene

ilied In delightful confusion with a portion

o a drawing-room set piece. Through the

:kylights overhead the bright light of nowms-

dy endeavored to p,,netrate, but its lest

fforts resulted only in reaching the upperu

The vacant, chairs, the unlighteod foot-

ht, the profounil slile(nio mnade oneF, per-

. ee, stop for a oieiumnnt to look around.

,here was the chair from which the anzziglltbauty of the charllnlg Mss captivalted

the whole house on Christmnas night, in 15,51

there the box where thue divine Miss Some-

dy Else flirted so openly with the clashing.ol.---, who was afterward killed in a durel

oan her account. T'lhe longer we looked the

:imore faces caine out of the hllf shadow, and

soon memory illled the lhouse. The foot-lights

eburned brightly. the drss circle andi par-

- quette were jamined; like thie waving of the

leaves on the aspen the Iluttiering of fans gave

life and motion t(o th(e picture. Thlle orchestra

were all in their plac's; the leader gave tihe

invarlable preioimtiory squeak to his violin,

then tried the bass string, while the bass viol

brought out a mulllld groan from that elo-

phantitne instrimneit. An linspiriting intro-

uatoion seemed to thlat, out and drift away,

Wihen the tinkle of a little (,ll was heard, and

Lmjestically the curtain rose. Fans ceasedtheir motion, eyes were riveted on the stage,

n~nd, after some small talk from two gallantsnuer the left upper entrance, In there walked

ae majestio tigure in majestic attire-, and the

j;lspers ran through the audience: "There'sold man IBooth! " "low grand he 1u•!" An

auction drum over the way broke the Hpell,ald gone were the ghosts of the lluj NunnI',

,gone the beauty, the chivalry and the mysticfOotrlights that but a moment ago seeimed to

be there. That leader's fiddle has poured out

i last cr"rscindo, the 'rnllet has sounded its

lst flourish to an advancing ltichlmond. andihe flngers that handled the drum-sticks are

dust aild ashes out here in some of our Cenelll

t)ries. Thirty-five years have worked sad

IMvOC in the ranks with its canister and grape,&nd those who remain of those elegant audi-

.sOes of bygone nights might almost be put

in the privato boxes.There is a saddening feeling comes over

one in these daylight views of those desertedrows and blank stretch of stage. The "has

:.been" creeps in upon the "Is," and involun-

tarily one makes comparisons not alwaysr'-omplimentary to the present. "'I ani here,

old fellow," came a voice at our olbow, andour guest, Major Strong, shone out from the

darkness.TO THE PI'IPI'ETY-1:(iOM.N,

Waae bur first departure. Entering ia long, nar-iw passage-way, into which a window here

there let in a winking, blinking kind of

ht, we reached the stage anti stoot(l at lastprompter's table, it table it can be

,d. A small flat board, just large cnoughhold a book, was fastened to the wall to the

t of the stage, and just beside it the gaswhich regulate the several groups of

to throughout the theatre. It was a well-board, and showed its tuirty anld llmr•' service In veteran scars. To this spot

Booth, the father, Edwin and J. Wilkes,Sons, oft lboked when treacherous memory

hly played truant with them. To thisCharlotte Cushman, Maggle Mitehell,

r Vining Bowers, Mrs. Fa:rreu, Julia Dean,cicault, Barney Williams, good old V enar t Feohter, looked for a helping halnd

hen' stuck." After leaving the prompllter'sup thre fllights of stairs, the lower

rid disappears, sav 'here and there whereltpimpe can be caught of the stage through" files. A door is reached and to a slight

It opens. T'he room is about ten byy, with an L of about the same dimion-

ons, and running around it, are rows of ca-alous shelves. Like the confused half-wak-

Slag dream of Christmas morning, when theboy looks toward his plethoric stocking withvisions of jumping jacks andll Santa Claus, soo nie looks ki upon the heterogeneous omirrngatheraun belfore hirm.

of this weird sanctuary, look idown inn dignity. There is eve,,rything here,

mlet's father's ghost. When a window was:Oened the garish daylight liHoded the room.aaid the king's diadem faded into gilt andpasteboard, the shining helmerts into roughpaper and tinfoil, and old Neptune's trident

Stoa tawdry three-pronged painted stick. Ahuge club, made of wire and brown calico,rested in one corner in sullen humor. We hadlseen it before and recognized it. Many anighthas Ben DeBar delighted his audiences as lietrod the boards, swinging his huge weaponin "Pocahontas," when as the rotund Pow-Shatan, "the King of the Tuscaroras," hecalled uponiull his rapscallions to "standhere in the middle, and standing all in a row,keeping their eyes on the mani In the middle,"while somebody rosined his bow. Marksmith, too, wielded this club.

BLACKEINED WITH AGEand long use, snugly ensconced in one corner, 1

side by side two sculls. What a troop of Ibaicles they call up! The graveyard

teellent fancy * * lere nhung his lipsthat I have kissed I know not how oit. '

With poor Yorick most of these great actorshave returned to dust. Near these relibcsstands the tuneral urn with "Virginius" lu-

d upon it, used when Forrest held the-t=se spell-bound.

B.tll glistening beneath a coating of (luston the shelf the goblets and tankards that

ed the banquet table in Macbeth. Here 1oup the murderous Thane drops at the

of Banquo. With what a tremulousd did Charles Kean clutch tile vessel-mirrored reflection of nature's terror-ken assassin.

At the near end of the property room with aated mirror stands a bureau, a shabby

air close at hand, but rich when seen from•before the footlights. Into this painted glasshow often has Lucille Western prepared herbailet, and how often has Frou-Frou arrangedher hair before it. Poor Matilda Herron, as.amiLlle, has daintily arranged her coiffure inthat painted glass,

WAITING FOll HER ARMANDoome.

In another room there is a repetition of the Iconfusion. The heavy sword of Riche-

the Cardinal, stood against the wall, the roldweapon that Booth,Davenport,Band- I

and others had tremulously dragged re stage to the footlghts to mourn the c

their power still to wield it. Just be- rbunches of calico baanas and a

DEFECTIVE RECORD. n

The Careless Wording of a Record Ex-tends a Murderer's Life.

In the case of Robert Robertson, who standsconvicted of the crime of murder, in the par-ish of St. Landry, the record was forwardedto the Acting Governor, who referred it to the 1Attorney General for examination.

The following reply from that officer showshow necessary it is for the court oflicers toexercise the greatest care in order that theends of justice may not be delayed or de-feated, and the letter is published in full inorder that it may serve as a warning to those twhose duty it is to prepare and forwardrecords in criminal cases:

Ismail'M Flnal Ha.ul.[London Truth, August 7.]

Of course Mr. Bourke did -rot know "offi-cially" what wasithe amount and the nature ofthe property stolen by the ea-Khedive in hisfinal Egyptian raid, lor one of the peculiari-ties of Mr. Bourke is that he never does any-thing "officially" until long after it has cometo the knowledge of every one else. I he ex-Khedive look between 0,{),OO0 and :3••0,00in cash from the public treasury, he sweptaway all the jewelry from the harems intowhich his agents could gain admission, and}he laid 'nands on all tie plate in his differectpalace,3. Tewlik may have been born with asilver spoon in his mouth, but his estimablefathe r literally left him without one of th~searticles on ascending the parental throne.The property stolen by the Khedive is esti-ma'Led as worth about 4i0,00000. Obvwouslythie best plan would be to force him to dis-gorge the greater portion of it, and then toregard the rest as payment, in ad'ance, of'ais pension.
