A Tallabassec mupister who had held numer- ous night meetings fv order to arouse religious cnthusisem, and the work progressiug slowly, vailed the return of. his labors in only con- verting balf a dozen souls, thus: *1 tell you, my bearers, it-don't pay for the gas.’? “Do you say your prayers regularly every pight and- morlng?” asked a sympathetic lady bi a little shoe-blaci whom she had just given atrife. “1ailus sz um at wight, mum; but eny fmart bov can take care of hisself in the ime,” was the little rogue’s reply. #Show me a people,” saye Froude, “ whose trade is dishonest, and I will show you a peo- Jle whose religion i8 a sham.” Al ‘right, Mr. gr'ruude, savs the Hawkeye, come out here next epring and take a Jook at the people who sell a quart of strawberries in a pint and 2 half box. how me the fashion plates of any age,” £2id Tulmage, * and 1 will tell you the type of morals or immorals of that aze o that year.” Al rieht, Brother Talmaze, we sugzest the aze of Adam and Eve.

A Norwich younsster of 5 vears, havinz been found playing in various private stables in the neizhborhood where he lived, on being remon- strated thereupun by his wmother, replied: «Wel), I dessif a barn wasdood enough for Jesas to be born in, it’s dood enough for ’ittle boss to play in.” + How was the world made?” is belng discuss- ed in a scientific magazine. We weren't there., but we suppose they got all the subscriptions 1hev could raise along the survey, and then Vonded the restof the work and pushed it through before Ar. Tilden could come along and steal {t.—2uck. A tramp, who called ata clergyman’s house in West Haven, Conn., was given shelter over night in the barn and invited to breakfast the next morni After eating iberally, he joined the family fin their morning devotion, and his finer feclings were evidently touched. He went away with a thankful heart, and returning the next night stole the pastor’s harness. When one reads of * [Laughter and ap- plause].” © (Immense applause],” ** [Sénsation among the elders],” etc., ete., o the reports of Tulpiteer Talmage’s slum sermons, one tries to Jmayine similar interlineations in St. Luke’s re- port of the sermou on Mars Hill, or some of the other great discourses of Apostolic times. But tnen St. Paul didn’t get $12,000 & year.—Phila- de'plia Bulietin. « My dear,” I said to a 5-year-old one night as she concluded her prayer at her mamma’s kuee, “you have forgotten to pray for your little cousins, How did_that happen?

CHECKER CHATTER. The Glasgow Central Club Touracy snow fa prog- ress. The following continued sxswers to questions on Draught Literature are takon from the July aumber of the Enghish Draught Player: At last advices Mr. Wyllle was playing at the Passil- park Instlute. Efghteén games wero played the first day, of which the clampion won soventecn and drew one. Mr. Robert Martins Is in_Glascow. The result of his firat two daya' play, as civen in the Glasgow Herald, shows that the ex-champlon is about as goad asever. Twenty-seven gaines were played, Marting winning twenty-four, losing one. and Lwo games were drawn. The following letter upon the orlgin.of the word #*Dragghta™ Is takieu froin the Glaseow ferald: - Th name *Draughts’® can be found cavller thau Mr. Hedley believes. A description can beseen fn * Holues' Store- houst of Armory and Blazen' (small follo), pubilshed At Cliester, A. D. 1684 und reading thus: ' *Draughts is a play on a chessboard or the back of s pair of tables (which weperally have four rows of equares 1nsde upon Ity ¥1z.: four of black and four of white interchangesbly). and aro set with the table men, one parcy scuing ou the white'and e sdverse mariy 03 by dlack. iay f§ i0 remove ench man corner- ways.

Thus they move apd remove L00and ogaln, seeking to huff one an- other, and him that stands’ longest without tuking, wins the game. The foregolng was copled into the Amateur Chess Magazine b few years since by Tam, ete., C. J. CoLL1: 5 AsSIr Roger de Coverlor ays, +There I3 muclt 10 be said upon both stdes™ of this question.

Whitbr: +*Perhaps the most patrisrcial sign s the Chequers, found in many houses at Pompell.” It is believed thac it indicated oriinally that Draughts and Backizummon werc played within. [n the Middle Ages It represenced the coats- of-ermisof the_Earls Warreneiand Surrey, who bora Cheque ur gaure, and in the relgn of Edward 1V. pos- sessed the privilege of licensing ale-houses.

Luiue M, SUBBRIDGE. THE STAGE. THE DRANA. CHICAGO. A TOUSE WITH MANY NAMES. The New Chicago Theatre bas been re-chris- tened. Once more. Somebody propounds the conundrum in a forgotten old play, * What’s in a name?” but it has been given uplong agox Nobody ever thought of asking what there was, might be, or conld be in many names, and now at thislate day Mr. William Emmett, of the Academy of Music, steps in and secks to revive the question by plastering the words ‘* Metro- politan Theatre ™ over that of ** New Chicago.” The fact that he hos leased it and intends to run it as a veriety show has already been announced. With Mr. Emmett’s plans and prospects we have nothing to do at present, but this fresh baptism calls up certain zhostly reminiseences about the locality, which furnishes occasion to note down some curlons Items that may be interesting to old settlers. This pretty little theatre has 2 history, andits many lessees have undergone strange vicssi- tudes. It has beou called by many names, and none of them seem to have been permaneuntiy fortunate. If Mr. Emmett succeeds with it under its latest title, he should at ouce have that title patented and label the word “Metro- politan * over the dour of every starving the- atrical show in the country. Perhaps it is not generally known - that- the auditorium of the New Chicago Theatre is Jocated exactly where the old Wood’s Museum lecture-room was, tho place.of entrance only being shifted from Randolph to Clark strect. It was first kuown to the putlicas & place of amusement under the name of Kingsbury Hall. As far bacl as 1562 anclent citizens now alive will recall a triangular transparency o-er the door, telliug the people that this was Ottiznon's Gymoasium. The Gymnasium had o brief and not very glorious career; and then the hali was rented for a time to wandering minstrel shows. (They were not called combinations in those duys.) Sam Sharpley’s troupe oceupied it for a while, and Uan Bryvant, and others, and they all @@ a ressonubly poor business. Then - a panorama came along, and after that a Iot of traveling lecturers and the like. By and by a Mr. Mellon hired the. place and fitted it up as amuseum. He went to St. Louis ahd brought from tbat city a zooglidon, some stuffed skunks, varrots, live monkeys, and old fossils of various kinds. These be transported in threo cansl-boats up the Illinols River to LaSalle, and thence by the canal to Chicago. This was the beginning of the Museum.. Judge Heaory Fuller, who is still alive, took a fancy to the fossils and bougat up the coucern, and ran the Muscum for a time. Then Col. Wood came along and Fuller took him_into partnership. Wooa was 2 pupil of Barnum, and saw his advantaze in combining the Museum with a moral theatrical show (where no_improper persons were admit~ ted). It was War time,—atime when it was slmply necessary to open a door and hang upa sign that there'was a show nside to insure an extensive patronage,—and the concern became at once a great suceess. The Colonel stuck his picture up on the front of the building, and all the moral people of the town went to the & lecture-room” to see the ‘Ticket-ol-Leave Man,” and to flirt with the girls in the upper floors on matinee days. About rhis time it was that Frank Aiken came to the surface and -grew to be the darling actor of the townp, adored by all the women for his fascinating locks and flashing Dblack eyes. Wood gave up the theatre after he discovered that it required management, and Frank Aiken took It off his hands. With one bold stroke of the blacking-brush he rubbed out sowme £50,000 worth of advertising, and call- ed it Aiken’s Muscum. Pardonable vamty, pe- culiar to actors, He would have done the like Daa be brought out Hostetter’s Stomach it~ ters, and with the same result. As Aiken’s Museum the place did not prove a success, and Frank eventually gave it up, and went to the Dearborn Theatre. The Museum was then closed for a brief pe- riod, when Henry Fuller—who yet retained some interest in the stutfed birds and fossile— again_ stepped in, and tried to run it, with John Blaisdell n8 manager. Passing over the histo- ry of Blaisdcll’s cclebrated overcoat and other curious reminiscences concerning that mauage- ment, one reealls the story of Fuller and the man who was playing the frombone in the or- chestra. The man was sitting with his instru- ment ready, waiting for his cue, when Fuller went up and nudged him. “ See here,” said he, #1 want all the bands in this house to earn their wages. Wbhat are you about with your horn?” “This is a pizzicato movement,” said the horu-blower, “there is a five-bar rest here, you know.™ “D—n your pizzicato and your five-bar rest,’” responded the manager. “1 hired you to blow that horn, and you can’t have any rests while ['m around.” (A stmilar aucedote has been told about a Glasgow manarer of old days, but this is a fact about Fuller. George Stevens was leader at the time, and he makes aflidavit to the fact.) Binisdell fizzled. Then Johu Z. Little - took hold of the place, and he fizzled. Then Wood came back again, and the great fire overtook bim, and burued up all his fossils, and grottos, and birds, and monkevs. After the fire the place was re-established un- der the old name of Kivzsbury Hall, and was let out for concerts and other “entertainments, Lucca appeared there, and the Marionettes, and Prot. Pepper, ete., until Aug. 1574, when Payne, Jones, and Fred Aimes started it as a variety show. It was now called the Kelly & Leon Minstrel Hall. Then the name was chanzed to **Grand Opera-House,” under which title it managed to draw in four months $17,000. Of this $11,000 went for improvements, and the remainder for personal expenses,—beer, ete.,— and in the beginning of 1875 Aimes sold out for $1,500 1n potes from Jon Jones fizzled and disappeared, leaving salai unpaid, aod many confiding fricnds to morn bis_loss. After this E. ol. Kayne and Hall, the minstrel mep, ran the place for a month, and they, too, fizzled. MeViclker then came in and took the lease, for what purpose no tellow could find out, unless it was to get in ahead of Charlie Gardiner; who had been looking for it. McVicker put Tom Iall in it with a comedy company, and called it “The New Chicago.” "After thirteen weeks of bad business Hall went to the wall. ooley now ook it into his head to have a chance at it, dnd rented it from McVicker, The came wasonce more changed to * Hooley's New Chicagro.” This venture also proved unsuccess- ful, owing to circumstances over ihich nobody appeared to have any control. Hooley “tore his beard and foaming fled the fizht.”” Tuen Juck Haverly took it, and called it **Haverly’s New Chicago.” He ran Pat Rooney and a varicty company for a little while, and after the little wnile’ be was fain to give it up. He tried it several times since with indifferent success. Cazeneuve, the Georgia Minstrels, and other shows rented it from Lime to time, and Haverly came back to it. No success. g Nexu after Haverly came John Hamlin, who managed to pay his rent, and no more. He ran in the West Side Folly people, and the concern fell to picces fu his hands. Undaunted by these successive fatlures, long John Allen aud the blund blonde Frank Clynes took the thing ju hand, and succeeded in filling the house one week, Unfortunately, they were not able to pay salaries after a tiwe, and 60 they Hizzled. “ Now cnter Wurster, who rented the place to run German theatricals on_Sunday nights. He labeled it “Wurster’s New Chicago,” and succceded messurably until he attempted to u{\'j week-day performances. . Then he, too, fiz- zled. Mr. Emmett now steps in with a new sign- board,«nd Heaven only knows what_effect that is going to nave upou the varying fortunes of the unhapoy house. Every oue, so far, has left it a loser, except Wood, but & may be that the mew name will work wonders. *Metropolitan " is a eood, sounding name. Simon McCarty went around the country with that name, and ruined several theatrical énterpriscs,—at Indianapclis, at Louisville, and elsewhere,—but Emmett is a @aring fellow, and he is beut on getting the best of JonnHamlin. So, evenif he loses, ne will be content. LOCAL NOTES. Miss Millie Pomeroy has just returned from a reading tour in the Enst, where she bas met with flattering success. The papers speak in high praise of her versatility as an elocationist. 1da Carlysle, who was to have played an en- gacement at Hamlin’s, was comnpeiled to can- cel, having been called suddenly to New Orleans to bury ber only chila, who died with the yel- low fever. . At at cotertainment given in Tillotson’s Hall in Englewood, last Tuesday evening, Mrs. J. W. Evansmage her second appearance as o reader, and with so mochsuccess that she was repeated- ly encored. The Folly Theatre on- Desplaines street will be opened to-morrow evening under the man- agement “of Charles Davis with the female t trouve, comprising fifty artists, in_an olio sen- sationul burlesque, ** Atlanta, the Female Foot- Racer.” The theatre bas been refitted and decorated. Miss Lydia Hastings hos just returned from a_very successful trip.in "Central Michizan, where her recitations and dramatic reaginzs met with hearty approbation. She 18 in de- mand through the West and Northwest, where she was the most successful reader during the last season. The Salsbury Troubadours have completed a successful two-weeks’ cngagement at Haverly's Theatre, and are woing to Milwaukee, where they will certaiuly meet with a hearty welcome. The Milwaukec folks were amone the first to recognize the merita of the company, and they xlil} see it now under very much improved con- tions. The list of attractions at the Academy of Music this weck includes Scanlan and Cronin in Irish comedy; Neil and Eldridge, Ethiopian spetialties; John Till, with manikins and wood- en-headed minstrels; Dick Rowe, contortionist; Harry Stanwood, banjo arteile, vocal ist; the French twin sisters; and the stock company in a comedy called * Life in a Tene- ment House.” Miss Jessie Couthoui, the talented young render, has just rcturned from a successful Eastern tour, and will inauzurate the opening of the Englewood leeture course this evening at Tillotson Hall. She wiil be assisted by Mr. William Lewls, violinist; Miss' Cora R. Miller, soprano; and Miss Agnes Ingersoll, pianist. Miss Couthoui’s selections will fuclude 2 number of new pieces which she has added to ber reper- toire. ‘Waener & Cotton’s miustrel troupe will be the attraction this week at Hamlin’s Theatre. A programme is oromised rich {n Ethioplan specialties, and including a number of favorite artists. Amony them are the Richmond sisters, Mabel Pearl, Jacob Riley, the Girard_brothers, and a number of others who should be found eqnally interesting. Mr. Hamlin has put lis prices down to 50 cents for reserved seats, 35 and 25 cents, which, it will be conceded, are popular rates for these hard times. The Linzards will appear to-morrow evening at Hooley’s Theatre in **Our Boys,” which has been one of the greatest successes ever seen on thé London siage, having been played over 1,200 nizhts consecutively. This will be its first production in Chicazo by this company, and the public will watch the event with unusual inter- est. The cast includes Willinn Horace Lingard as Perkyn Middlewick, Alice Dunning Linzard as .Wary Melrose, and Dickie Lingard as Belinda. The cotpany will remain for only one weel ‘The Colvilte Foily Company will remain one week longer at Huverly’s Theatre, where they have been playing to good business, and will produce in succession three ot their best pieces. On Monday aud Thursday evenings and Satur- day matinee *Babes in the Wood” will be given; Tucsday, Friday, and -Sunday evenings, **Robinson Crusoe”; and on Wednesday ev ing and Saturday matinee, *Our Cinderella.” Mlie. Roscau has "been in bad health during the week, but has pow recovered so as to be able to appear on Monday. Prof. J. W. Churchill gave a literarv enter- tainment last Friday evening at the First Con- greational Church, which was largely attended, aod was recieved with so much enthusiam by those present that a rernnn will be had next Tuesday cvening. Although the Professor has presented himsolf modestly in this city his repu tation as one of the finest elocutionists in the country had preceded himn, and it is sufiictent to say that he fully sustaioed his Eastern repu- tation, which ranks him as being without an equal, a3 a popular reader, in the country. His s'?h: is dramatic but natural, havine abundance of inspirational power, but reculated by the orinciples of true art. His voice s remarkable in its comnpass and sympatby, and- his method is ‘simple, strung, manly, and _entircly nataral. As Professor ot Andover Collese he is widely known as an elocutfonist, and it is to be regret- ted that bis presence liere was not more geuer- ally advertised. Arrangements have been made for him to give a reading on the North Side, at the New England Church, to-morrow night. The large and cultivated audiences at Prof. Cromwell's art entertainments at McCormick Hall are alike complimentary. to tie exhibitor and the community. This mu- tual confidence has inspired Mr. Cromwell to roloug his stay another week. The subjectsof illustration selected are: Monday night, Lon- don; Tuesday. Ireland; Wednesday, . Pari Thursday, Switzerland; Friday, the Vatican and Saturday, a tour in Europe.’ Threc mat wees are also announced: Tucsday, Rome (for the Good Shepherd); Thursday, Paris; and Saturauy, Jerusalem and the Holy Land. The churacter of these entertainments is eminently social. Where a larze assemblage of peo- ple sit for two hours in “the dark (not intellectually dark), it is contrary to all precedent to maintain a_precise dig- nity of demeanor. Expression is abundoned, attitude is forzotten, and cach one settles down to be as comfortable as possible and enjoy the delights before them,—* delights which,” the flowery Profegsor says, **ouce tasted, arc never to be forgrottén, but live in memory, like the flower ot beauty, which, though faded, leaves its remindivg fragrance.” Mr. John W. Blaisdell writes to the editor of the dramatic column of Trr TRIBUNE to correct an error as to his aze. ' A paragroph appeared _recently stating that Mr. Bla dell was 55 years old. This statement, ac- cording to Mr. Blaisdell’s showing, is the result of a miscalculation. We hasten to make the proper sinends. Mr. Blaisdell was born at 4:200. w. on Aug. 6, 1857, so tbat he is now orly 22 yearsof aze. As soun as he gets back from ‘fexas, he says, he will' furnish _the requisite proof. So much for his years. Here is an extract from his letter, written at Galves- ton, Te Says he: “We have becn walking, and this is now it came about. The Dillon company arrived on Sunday at Hemstead ac 6 8. m., breakfasted, and boarded ' train for Galveston. \We had not been gone a“mile but only three, when we were informed by the quarantine ofiicer that our papers . were n. g, Aas ihe quarantine had been raised in every city in Texas except Houston and Galveston. We tried to persuade them that we were from the North, but to no purpose. We were dumped onto the open prairie, some ten miles away from any_habitation, and were obliged to walk back to Hemstead. O, it was ard. Imagioe Jobn Dillon and me at the head of a procession of twelve tramps walking up the railrond track losded with sachels and bundles! It was my first walk, and I think the only one on record where a company with plenty of money in pocket were compelled to underzo such an expericnce.” John sads that hie is now prepared to match any trayeling company in the United States azainst his for a walk, pro- vided the match can be made whilk they are in practice. They are pretty much all in practice Just cow. GREEN-ROOM GOSSIP. Kate Claxton says * many woman are prettier off the stage than on.” Mr. Joseph Wheelock is to accompany Miss Mary Anderson on her tour as special support. Miss Anna Dickinson is a constant visitor of the theatres, and is said to be writing several plays. It is generally believed that Messra. Jarrett & Palmer will assume control of Booth's Theatre Dext scason. A new play by James Steele MacKays, the author of *‘Won at Last,” will be produced at Wallack’s early in the winter.

NEW YOREK. SOME OF THE CRUSHED. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. New YoRk, Oct. 6.—Of course everybody has scen crushed actors. They are as thick as jay- birds in poke-berry time, and make about as much uscless noise. They talk to youabout the time they played ‘“Hamlet,” sir. when Tea Booth and Jack McCullough, by —, sir, used to come and sit in the orchestra to steal points. And they drink at your expense. And they bor- row your lovse change. And you never sce them ugain. DBut has everybody scen the crush- ed actress? Ihave. ‘There are two of tiem, at least, in New York just now. Ouve is Adelaide Lcenox—upon the bills—and the other bears the name of “Imogene.” I suspect that she (the Iatter) began her stage career as ‘¢ Miss Clara,” and made a memorable and luminous failure in Chicazo some ycars ago at the Academy of Musie, under Charles R. Gardiner’s manage- ment. - This is only a euspicion, however. Any person who really ¢njoys studying female human nature wonld bave lots of fun watching Agelaide and Imogene. Every three or four weeks Adelaide comes to the front with something she is pleased to call 2 lecture; and she alwars manages to get herself into the newspapers in rather a con- spicuous fashion. These “lectures” generally assail some local manager rather pointedly, and arow follows. Recently one of her talks in- cluded what seemed to be an attack on Jarrett & Palmer, and the pewspaper war which fol- lowed led a rood many knowing ones to infer tuat the said managers were taking this means of advertising Adclaide, prior to starring her. But it fell through. Later she announced that she should publicly read a play of her ownona certain Sunday night. Owing, however, to al- Teged police Iuterference _(our police, you see, like to protect the people), she didn’t. Adelaide wishes everybody to think she is crushed. She isn’t, but she ought to be. I have seen her uct, ana I should prefer penal servitude'to a repetition of what I was called upon to endure at that time. 2 IMOGENE'S WAY. But Imogene takes a different way to show the people how deserving she is of their patron- ag2. Shegets a company of actors together, starts on a starring tour, nlays a week or two, and comes howe. Ste always pays salarics, 1 believe, but that doesn’t prevent her from gain- ini a certain distinction. There is nothing ordi- pary about imogenc. She is no slouch, so to :{xcnk. The newspaoer men 2o wild abuue her. Why, the other day I picked up a theatrical jour- nal which, in speaking of some comoany and the performance given by it, said: *This is the very worst since Imogene was “bere.”” She” demonstrates the fact that, in order to be successful in life, you must either make 3 ‘;uod impression, or one so nternally bad that it can’t go unnoticed.
