It does not require any great originality of thought to advance the remark that actors, like all other kinds, classes and conditions, have their peculiarities. Perhaps cecen tricities of one kind or another are better developed in the disciples of the stock and buskin thani in al y other strata of the community, save in the possible exception of these indescribable anthropophagi who linger about the portals of leading newspapers and harass the news gatherers and mrculders of public opinion on all possib 0 occasions. Thore is a general sort of fraterni. zation among actors and act resses of all grades, from the varietv artist to the beetle-browed leading man, which latter finds it to advantage to drop his inportaine between and after acts, as there is much he de pends upon in his underlings who can easily mar a good scene or im11 pair his dignity on the boards, a trick which has not been unfregueint where the loader has been alllieted with what is technically called in stage phrase "swell-heads." Thus they are to be found banded together, "theatrical boarding houses" being as necessary to the life of a g1cat city as its hotels, churches and brass bands. Here "after hours" can be seen "Ludovi, co" or "Chas. Surface" suffering at dominos or "Sancho Pedro," at the hands of a utility or responsible man. It is a matter of fact well known, that no class is so often called upon to donate their talents to the purn poses of charity. 3eyond this there is always some brother or sister in misfortune whose wants call upon their purses and it is seldom that. their appeals are not met, provided the improvident habits of the charit ably-disposed historian precludes him responding as he could wish. This is a natter of ecnstant every day occurrence among actors and it can never be known or told how much has been given or distrilbutedt in charity, without reference to the public affairs in which their services are given freely and almost invaria bly at call. Actors' salaries range very difter ently ; a good leading ma:n 1or woman may command from i(0) to $100, and1(1 thus they range down ward. Some of the New York theatres have salary lists which are terrible to contemplate, and it is only through long runs, high prices and full houses that they are en abled to pull through. The thea tres in St. Louis have much botter companies than our citizens have an idea of. or are willing to think, but the chief expense is in the dress. ings of the stage and the setting of usw' 1plays with costumes, scenery, proper'ties, etc. But that is rathecr out of the line of the pr'esenlt arti clo. Comparatively the best paid men are those who, possessing som1o years experience in tihe ranks, have acquired confidence and a certain amount of ease, are elevated to tihe dignity of utility or responsible, these receiving from fifteen to twenty dollars per woek, and having but light labor to p~erformn ; ladies in the same line receive a trifle less. The supernumerary is at the bot tonm rung in the ladder and is gen orally an aspirant for fame, one wvho is curious to see beOhinld the scenes or an impecunious individual wh~o can thlus obtain tile p)rice of a meal. He is the victim of the "captain" generally, thaft dignitary doing the engaging of tihe armies of France and England, the happy peasantr'y, etc. He receives so much per head for a number of supes anid drills them into shape, (sit her forgetting the matter of payment or substract, ing his commission. "Supos" re,, ceive presumptively from twenty five to fifty cents each performance, according to thme amount of work they hmave to per'form. As was said, it affords some who are "stage-struck" an 0) >ortunity to start on stage life. This strange disease not only affects those anxi ous to adopt the profession but many who have been on the boards all their lives. The excitement and triumphs of thme life havo brought many to "die with harness on their backs" and there are many leading actresses and actors on the stage to-day who are narrowing the lapse between themselves and thegr'ave by following a calling without which life would have no charmt for them' The humi jble be giner is possibly Well treat ed inl his applicat.ion as lie is apt to be utilize-- by the "eaptain" of the supes.

A laugha ble alltir occurred at one of thi theatres a short time since, when ti jaunty aspirIant was sent on his mission with the grip-saick, return ed fresh as a flower in May, follow ed by ai hand-cart man, and replied Llhat he was unabuile to find theggmtlte man~f.

It is ai little inguilar that of all those couples who nf''oet the "song 31nd( danoo1" line therie are but few who agree.
