I'm stifling! Can’t you open this win- dow? Whew! Iusdreadful, isn’t it? It’s al- ‘ways 50 in these cars—awful!” When this kind of remark had been made at some length for the cdification of the company, a voice was Deard from the other end of the'car: ** Yes'm, it’s awful. But we must trv to bear up. "Taipt nothin’ to the suflerin’s of the early Christisns.” A general laugh followed, and nothing further was heard from that young ‘Womau. COMPARING A SERMON TO A SHIRT.

In apswer to the usual query, *‘What has been the most notable theatrical event of the week 1" one is tempted to say it was the fa- neral of Montague. And without meaning for a moment to undervalue the sincerity of the many mourners in their sorrow for the loss of this much-ioved young actor, a feeling of posi- tive relief overcomes us to know that it is all over; that we may be permitted to take the crape off the door, open the blinds, and resume the business of life. In view of the claborate solemnuities which have preceded, accompanied, and surrounded the cyent, and the exhaustive accounts of it which the newspapers have given from day to day, one almost dreads to coutemplate the death of such a man as Ed- win Booth, or John McCullough, or Barrett, who may stand in some respects hizher in pub- lic estimation than did Mr. Montague. The truth is, there is a tendeney to overdo these things, and make a theatrical display, which s apt to exceed the bounds of good taste. Actors’ funerals, above all others. are prone to be made the subjects of ostentatious exhibitions. On such occasions the class of people who are known as “funcral sharps” are surce o be seen - flocking around the cas- ket and occupying conspicuous -positions at the services. **Star mourners,” they, unconsciously perbaps, but incvitably, draw down upon themsclves cynical comments that should bave no place at such a time. * [ Lknew him, Zoratio,” thus tearfully sobs your funeral sharp, “noor Tom ! he always looked upou me as the olaest friend he bad, and the very last time L saw him, *Bill,’ says be,” and 50 on. There is always a strealk of farce fitfully play- ingr across tie gloows of these solemn ceremo- nials. Even at a funeral one expericuces in the very depths of one's woe an irresistible rendency to eriticise the conduct of the mourners. We Jouk out of the corner of our eye as it were at thein, and become couscious of an frrepressible impulse to Jaurh at somethmg which strikes us as being just the least little bit overdrawn. Thus, at the funeral of the late Barney Will- fams, the atteution of the spectators was fixed upon 8 lady draped in deepest mourning, who occupicd what some wicked wagz called the ‘ star pew,” and who was so overcome that she had to be supported to her earriage by two ushers. Of course everybody inthe church thouht it was Mrs. Williams, but it wasn't. Mrs. Williams was away 1nan unnoticed cor- ner where only a few could sec her. It was a “ funeral sharp,” and the irreverent party above sookeu of insists to this duy that she went there to “ steaf that funeral.” Something of this kind must have occurred at the Little Church Round the Corner tho other day. The friends and companions of Mr. Moutague, who were naturally shaken with ericf at the loss of one who had been endeared 10 them, and who had come all the way from the Pacific to pay their last tribute to_him, may have felt that they were defrauded of their rights when Mr. Wallack steppea forwerd and o0k the whole thing off their hands. That they should have forezone their engasements, re- fused to be comforted, and, so to speak, slept by the coflin all the way from San Franciseo to New York, and after all be denied the privilege of being at the head of the programme, was. cnoueh to discouraze them for all time to come 1rom repeativg such an experience. Mr. Hourhton, the Rector of the Little Cuurch Rouund the Corncr, seems to have ac- quired & monopoly in the work of consigning members of the dramatic profession to their last home. Wonder if the zood man jsn’t be- mnning to feet the task a little monotonous? it is a strange kind of popularity to have earncd. When an actor comes to yield up his lite now, wherever he way be, bis Tast request. is that bis funeral may take place from the Littie Church Round the Corner. Itisa sure way to make a distineuished esit from the world’s stage. Not long azo a well-known member of a minstrel troupe was on his death-bed. His Iriends came to cheer mm, saving, “Youw'll soon set better, my boy.™ 0, no,” he sud, I don’t want to get well; T want to die while I am in New York”” ¢ Why do you wish to dic in New Yorki” - Because then 1 canbe buried from the Little Church Round the Corner.” Well, poor Montazue bas had_all the honors paid to him that his admirers and friends could have desired. *‘He sleeps well”'; and now, as a0 old Spanish proverb well say The grave for the dead, The Iiving for the bread, “THE GRAND™ THEATRE. Mr. John A. Hamlin is oa the eve of opening his new theatre in the old Coliseum buildivg on Clark street, the_interior baving beea entirelv reconstructed. ~The place will bé completed in the course of the presest week, sud it bids fair to be among the neatest auditoriums it the vity. The main floor has been raised five feet, and is provided with comfortable opera- chairs. A semi-circular balcony on the west side of the house extends to the proscenium- boxes ou cither side o the staze. The seating capacity of the house fs estimated at 1,500. There are six direct. exits in addition to the main one, s0 that earess will not be attended with inconvenience in the event of av aceident. The rool has been raised several feet, and the harmony of the interior is perfect. The stace has a dépth of forty-two Teet, and a thirty-foot opening,—considerably larger than the average. The decoration of walls and ceiling, now in prog promises to be very pretty, the best frescoers of the city being engaged in the work. Iu addition to havinz a cuzy and haudsome theatre, Mr. Hamlin proposcs to muke it 2 fam- ily resort. Smoking and the use of liguor are positively prohibited, and the rule will at all times be strictly enforced. The arrangements apvear to te eood. and_the energy and cnter- prise of the manazrer will doubtless receive the encouragement merited.

Why, I never evea heard of him.” Boticicault, discoursing to an interviewer concerning the present condition of the stage, says: * Of the many causes that combine to produce the rresent condition of things, I re- gard a very important ooe to be the exi ce of §0 wany showmen in the mansgement of tuea- tres and so few real managers,—so few capable of combining a first-class_company.

William Niblo, who gave his name to iblo’s Garden, New York, died on the 21st inst., ut the macure aze of 83. Among the older theatrical managers in New York Mr. Niblo was long the leading spirit, although in more recent years his name had become almost forzotien. When a youns man he Kept a restaurant at No. 43 Piue street, where, sixty years avo, some of the best-known merchants were in the habit of meetinzx daily. His theatre, Niblo's Garden, was ovcaed in 1837, and ac that time was a gar- den 1 fact as well as in name. Concerts were given nightly in the open air, and the new ex- periment became at once successful. Persons are now living who will remember the hearty reception accorded to Mr. Plummer, Mr. T. Bishop, and Mrs. Watson, sinzers in those en- tertainments. Mr. Joseph Jeferson soon after- ward organized a company which Zave musical farces. -He was assisted by Mr. Jonn Setton, who at one time put upon the boards the com- edy, **Goud Husbands Make Good Wives.” The late history of Niblo's Garden is weil known. Mr. Niblo was a public-spirited and thoroughly-equipped manager. Anccdotesof Charles Mathews are still coming u in abundance. No matter what his faults might be, nobody could keep angry with him. His perfect naturaluess on the staze often threw the whole performance out of drawing. Eves body seemed to be acting except Mr. Mathews. Ouc¢ day he rehearsed ““Thne Critic” with o country company, and the result was that, at night, he bad not a single word to say in his character of Luf. The other acfors and actresses had taken the lines of the part as if they were Mr. Mathews’ own suggestions at rehearsal, and had corrected every fault, altered every inflection, chanzed every attitude,—and spoiled the play. * The greatest compliment 1 r recefved,” the veteran said. But what did dience say? When one reads or hears the storics of debts and duns with which the life of Charles Mathews abounds, he must remember that different times bave different manners, and in the middle epoch of his long carcer it was the tashion to be in debt. Tradesmen understood is, and charged aceordingly. When one debtor vaid, the deficiencics of a dozen aefaulters were canceled by the overcharges.

Sa¥ Francisco, Aug. 17.—The briiliant * Diplomacy * engagement, which so delighted the public and excited such high hopes for the performers, closed in gloom—even tragedy. The telegraph has already made the death of Harry Montague old news, but in San Francisco it has been even more than the traditional three days’ wonder. : There was portentous siznificance in his last words on the stage av his benefit, a week ago,~— “Rige down thecurtain.” It seemed even then as il the andience accepted their disappointment with unusual quiet, as if realizing that the sud- den illness was matter for grave disquiet. Montague keot his bed the day following the drst hemorrhage, but on Sunday. mormng an uncontrollable desire to appear convalescent and ready for travel the following day induced him to rise. £ He received his friends all day long, and it is tion, together with a most INIURIOUS LOT OF HANDSHAKING, when he should have been kept perfectly quiet after such a seizure as he had had, hastened the end. His desire to fulfill his Chicago engazemert amounted to a perfect fever, and he was deter- mined to start on Monday morning. He iovited the entire “Diplomacy ™ party to dine with him on Sucday night, and, prepara- tory to making a pleasant evening of it. called in his pb;sldan to examine his lungs ana testify s to his titness to travel. The party waited witl'l erave saxiety while he was closeted with the physician in an ante-room, and were delighted after thelr suspense to see him enter the room with a g5y, cheerful smile on his lips. “1It is all right,” he said, playfully clapping his chest; *verdict, not guilty " The words had scarcely left his lips wnen he was seized with the suffocating sensation which betokened the coming hemorrhage, and he fell into the arms of Messrs. Warde and Carrolf, who lifted him into his bedroom. They at- tempted to stay THE TERKIBLE FLOW OF BLOOD with au acid which had been recommended for the purpose, but after a three mioutes’ strug- gle Le exclaimed, * 1t is too late; I am going, boys. Good-by, and God biess’ you ally” and died immediate’y. An autopsy held after death disclosed the fact that, iu any case, he could not have hved mdny months. Iis body was embalmed, and funcral services held over his remains on Monday afternoon. The erief of bis immediate associates was something bevond description, more particular- ly_that of Mr. Carrall, the Count Orioff of “Diplomacy,” whose friendship with him for some four or five years past has becu of an ex- ceedingly intimate character. Almost every professfonal n the city of ever; department and degree attended the fuperal- service. The ladies almost ail testified their respect Lo his memory oy wearing a bit of crape. The ladics of the “Diplomacy ™ party—Miss Granger, Miss Jeffreys-Lewis, and dlrs. Shan- nou—wore deep mourniog. Nearly every ouc had known him, and many of them had been associated with bim in the aifferent theatres. Amung these was MI33 ROSE WOOD, of the Batdwin company, who was leading at Wallack's with him a scason or two ago. There was the usual array of crosses and crowns, lyres, wreaths. and broken columns. A larze and very beautiful wreath was seat by the Germun Dramatic Compauy. One from Hay- erly’s Minstrels, one from the press, by whuse members he was uniforumly esteemed, obe frum each of the theatres, aud Some from his maua- gers, Geu. Barton und Mr. Barton iiill. There were other floral tributes in various de- vices from tac members of his own company, and from his fricnds, professionat and other- wi lady sies were the prevailing flower, his initial Ietters being brougit inthem in Several in- stances, and onu large heart was made entirely of this pretty purple blossom. Sowa of the lurger flower-pieces were grouped about his picture, and photographed to send to his fricnds. 1IN THIS CONNECTION it may be remarked that the shopkeepers did not scruple 1o turn an houest peuns. One en- terprising book-dealer secured the lowers after the photograptier hud_done with them, and pat them on exhibition in his window. In the back- ground was 8 larze picture of Montazue draped in crape, and with tais delicate inscription at- tached: *Sinzle copies 40 cents.” Nearly all the photozraphers’ and stationers’ windows are similarly ornawnented, minus the flowers. The sale of his piciures has becn some- thing enormous. His sudden deatli was such a complete shock to the members of his party that, in the first burst of griet, 'y, came o some very wild conclusions. Miss Maude Granger announced her intention to leave the stage [orever, and the others, one and all, declared that they never again, under any- circumstances, could play in % Diplomacy.” B Upon cooler consideration, however, they all determined to fill the contracts made for them by Mr. Montague. Miss Jeffreys-Lewis only adbered to the first intention of plaving in * Diplomacy "’ no more. BUT THEREBY HANGS A TALE: As it chaunced, Miss Levwis, as the adventur- ous Zicka, made the hit of the cngagement, and, when she announced her intention not to accompany them, there was avsolute conster- nation. She bad already raised a little breeze on one momentous day during the season by threaten- ing to leave the troupe without a Zicke for the evening’s pertormance. it But Mr. Montague soothed her'wyounded amour propre, and the mutiny ceased,; 35 sud- denly as it rose. by G Undex the sad clrcumstances of their depart- ure they were quite unprepared for another re- volt ou the part of Miss Lewis, more especially as she came down to the boat in a_carriage and crossed the terry with the party before declar- ing her intention to remain in S8an Francisco. Naturally A LOVER WAS THE ONLY EXPLANATION for her crratic conduet. He was on the scene at the time in propria persone, and his counsels prevailed against the entreaties of her companions of the staze. 3 1aitland, the Jover in question, is a person whose career has been marked by many vicissitudes, each of which vicissitudes is pretty well known in San Frauei: Uvon the occasion of Miss Jefr last visit to Sam Prancisco, Mr. A. was reputed to bein possession of a bonanza pile amounting to something like a quarter of million. His tastes were essentially those of sybarite, und beindulzed them. A sybarite is an exoensive article.. When Miss Lewis came to San Francisco this time, she renewed her acquaintance with the sybarite, and he has been mosy iduous iv his attentions ever siuce. When it pecame likely that 31138 LEWIS CONTEMPLATED MATRIMONY, Montazue gave her some very triendly ad- vice, and warned her to scriously” consider the gravity of st a step. Her professioual ambition was boundless, and her unexpected suceess in “ Diolomaey ” had given her such a help along the road of fame and fortune as any young actress might envy. For a time the watrimontal scherae laid in abeyance, and the lady concluded to join her fortunes with the “Diplomacy ” party for a season. i At this juncture Montaguc died, and all was confusion. No one’s crape was deeper, no rief more profound, than thatof Miss Jeflreys-Lewrs, She hung over his casket in n wild abgndon of sorrow, and was with diflicalty torn Irom the room. Others of his iricnds were quite as demonstrative in their lamentations, but they have been more cobsistent in their griel. When the “Diplomacy ! party concinded to fulfill their enzugzements, tuey had no thought but that she would accompany therm. When she crossed to Oaklaud, ACCOMPANIED BY MK. MAITLAND, and bade them good-by without a uote of preparation, they were ap their wits’ end, but were oblized to o on and . leave the settlement of the aflair to the managers. Telegrams came pouring in from Mc Simmons, Freueh.—everybody interested. Miss Lewis promised that she would go the pext day, but faited to do so. Mr. Barton Hill, in astate of wild anxiety and profuse perspiration, has kept galloping around town all day looking for Miss Lewis to find out if she would go the nex: da; Miss Lewis was as jovisible as'the veiled prooliet of Korassan. 5 Late that nignt Miss Lewis’ fellow-lodgers overheard a very stormy altercation between the spirited actress. who cmployed some of her his- triouic talent on the occasion, and Mr, Mairland. Tie lady with some violence anuounced ter fn- tention of going East next morning. Mr. Mait- land, with® some asperity, proposed marriane instead. The lady, after being yradually soothed, con- seuted, and. on the evening following this bois- terous loving, the twain were made one. Miss Lewis” aamirers were aghast when they learned this astounding news” from the nexs day’s Dapers. : Her action is rezarded not only as PROFESSIONAL SUICIDE, but as the indul<ence of a caprice which they fear she will repent. Rumor does not at present invest the mao she hias married with the bank-account which was unce aceredited to nim, and _gossipers do not hesitate to prophesy that the lady will be radely awakened from her dream and find a hushand on her bands to provide for. But she is au awazogly pretty woman and a very popu- lar actress, 80 that envy may be at the root of all such gramblings. At all events, hier matrimonial escapade, fol- lowinz hurd upon Montazue’s deatl, has kept theatrical events uppermost in the public mind, and she hes had the satisfaction, if satisfaction it be, of being the heroine of the sensation of the day. s-Lewis? Maitland 3 a icker, MAGGIE MITCHELL opened at the Califorals in * Mignon * on Mon- day nignt. The lady bas never beena Califor- nia favorite, and, coming just at this time, she has not been so [ortuatcus she might perhaps otherwise have been. Magzie Mitchell was in California once be- fore, but founa herself forestailed by a little woman who bad just completed an extraordi- narily successful engagement as Fanchon. 1t was before theduysot long runs, but * Fan- on ™ had had a run, and itchell, with the limited repertoire of those days, suffered ln consequence. Some mounths before a timid, peak-faced little womaz bad applied to Tom “Maguire, the yeteran manazer. for sumething to ao. Her slags cxperience had bees exceedingiv .imited, but she fancied she telt a cer:ain power witam her, and she waned to try it. = Her appearauce was nut prepossessing. as she was excerdingly. shapby, but she was emitentiy persevering, and he ciosed et last by erern ber an ensagement upon the serms of sharing the house after a certain amosot of the ex- penses were pawd. The Little womaz leaped st the chanee, and appeared at tee old Washiogton Street Ogera-House tae lollowing Monday as Funchon. By some caprice ot {ate, SHE BECANE THZ FASIION. Sha had a pair of snmng dlack eyes and fashing white teeth, and upon the these was called bandsome. The olay of **Fanchon was new then. There have been many runchons siute. but none equaled Alice Kingsbury, the Eldn Star, us she played theo. - She had a wild, untraioed talent, an eager, impisa way which took. She played a long, brilliant month, to overwnelming houses, such a season of suceess as to many ac actress comes only once in a lifetime. John McCullough was the Landry Barbeaud of the cast, not having yer developed 5o the digmtics of Virginius. After that came Maggie Mitchell, the original Fanchon, but_the speil of the Elfin Star wis over all, and Maggie Mitchell was a pecunary Iailure. After that there was a lone line of Faachons. THE ELFIN STAK herself came back one melunchely day a few years after with a busbaud and a brood of children, and tried . Fauchon™ agam, but the charm was gone. Maggic Mitchell, remembering this, opened his tune in ** Mignon,” which, in the opera, a great faverite here last season. ‘They ackuowledge her talent this tune. but they are 1ot paying much to see it.

B. Robinson is introducing a new, musical instrument which promises to become’ popular. It requires no musical knowledge 10 produce the best compositions. Itisa wind in- strument, somewhat resembling in appearance a cabinet orzun, and is operated hy pedals. But there are no kevs, and no fingering is reanired in playing a tune. The tunes are prepared by perforations in a broad shcet of paper, the lenath of cach perforation determining the, duration of the note. This shcet of paper, in which the tunes are cut.is wound ona reel, aud, being placed in the instrument, is unwound by the action of the pedals, the paper passing over a bridge in which the recds are placed. As the wind is drawn into the reeds at the top the_ passaze of the paper over them prevents it from’ entering any save those where tne perforations in the ‘paper fall, and the notes are thus pro- duced autumaticaily. It possesses great power, and the buss notes are produced especially well }‘he price will be about 330.—Lurtund (Jfe) ress. WHA WADNA B A POET? Wha wadna be 2 poet! Wha wadna soar in rong.
