TRUE ADVERTISING.—Millions of dollars are annually thrown away in this country in useless and illegitimate advertising. The experience of allenterprising and successful business men is that nothing repays so well the money invested as adver- tising in a paper which EVERYBODY reads. That ts the true way to @cure publicity. The best busi- ness men know the value of advertising in such @ Paper—and such a paper is THE EVENING STAR. At has the largest circulation in proportion to the popuiation of the city in which it is printed of any Paper in the world. It practically covers the whole feld, Playwrights’ Profits, The New York correspondent of the Cincin- bres Gazette contributes to that paper the fol- owing: WHAT FOREIGN PLAYWRIGHTS RECEIVE HERE. The price Miss Davenport paid for “Olivia” tempts me to say something of playwrights’ profits. These are really handsome, if the play succeeds, although the author gets a very small proporiion, perhaps, of what he should receive. In Londun, J. G. Byron has just re- ceived $20,000 for four years’ use of “Our Boys”—a handsome return, of course, from a single play which could not have occupied him more than a few months; but it is to be considered, on the other hand, that the pla: ran all through those four years, and coiues an immense sum for the managers. Such men as W. Gilbert receive $10,000 for a single comedy, and such actors as Sothern proceed to make $40,000 a year or so outof it. Then, on the other hand, again, the piece may fail, and the $10,000 is sunk. | Foreign playwrights are making pleasant little sums, in addition to what they get in their own countries, for the use of plays in America. The lack of a copy- right Jaw does not prevent this, as the com. mon law protects an author’s property in his manuscript. .The disposal of such ae for the American market has grown to be a busi- ness in Paris, and has necessarily assumed equal Peas here. Mr. Michaelis, of Paris, sells French plays to New York theaters, gives out French novels to literary Americans living in Paris to translate for American readers, and acts asa sort of lite- rary mediator between the two countries. In this city, Samuel French & Son, the dramatic publishers, have taken the lead in this queer traffic in ideas. They are understood to have paid $10,000 for the use of “A Celebrated Case” in this country, and the play has had such splendid success that they are likely to reap a poset profit, even on this generous royaity. ‘hey also own the American right to * Diplo- macy,” for which they no doubt paid an equally liberal sum, and_ certainly. will receive a like profit. M. Sardou and MM. D’Ennery and Gordon, the autl respectively of “Diplomacy” and “A GC brated Case,” would scorn $10),0%) probably as the price of a play, but thrown in merely a3 an extra plum, it can hardly be disagreeable. THE PROFITS OF NATIVE AUTHORS. Of native authors there are few whose plays deserve the name, aud yet all of them make probably every year what a college professor ora Seung jonas would look upon as a fortune. me are paid a round sum down, Some are paid royalty on each performance until the total reachesa certain sum—if it ever does;some are paid a re on every per- formance. A successful ‘‘society” play, for instance, brought out at Daly's, would pay the author $35 for “each performance, or $17) for six nights and a matinee. So that a play which ran 100 nights would bring in at this one thea- ter about $3,000, But if itis successful here it will be wanted in other cities—in Boston, Cin- cinnati, Chicago. and St. Louis. Sometimes one of these light plays, the manuseript of which is about twice the length of a guod sized magazine article, will be running in three cities at once, and bringing in its auther $75 a night. The rate runs down, however, west of New York, sometimesto $20, and in the smaller cities, like Detroit, even to $15 andl). In Deadwood I suppose they would hardly pay 8. 1 have known a light, comic play, costing no great labor and having comparatively little originality, to bring its author in over 35,10) the first year and comfortable sums forseveral years after. Then there are other ways of dis- posing of plays. An author who thinks of something that would suit a certain “star,” goes and reads him his plot, and finds out What terms he can get. too, an actor will conceive the idea of a character, and will call in an author, to whom all the main ideas, catch words, and comic remarks the actor has been able to get together will be handed over with instructions to put a plot around them. For avery poor piece of work of this description 1 have known the play carpenter 0 guaranteed a royalty on each perform. ance until it should reach 32,00). (L don’t think it ran ne enough, bul that was his fault.) Sothern has just put into W.S. Gil- bert’s hands an idea which he has been turn- ing over in his mind for eigit or nine years. It is that of “Dundreary’s Private Theatricals,” with Dundreary, at the last, as an “amateur Hamlet.” Heaven save the inark, how funny that will be! And if Mr. Gilbert gets his usual pi it will not be less than’ $10,000. Mark Twain exacted from John T. Raymond one-half of all his receipts for Colonel Seliers, leaving Raymond to pay all his expenses out of his half, and cleared probably 330,00) the frstyear. And yet it is so difficult to write a good play, that of the hundreds of manu scripts turned in at the theaters ere year practically none are ever used, and Wallack proposes, during the coming season, to revive the Colleen Bawn!

Godfrey, of this place, was married last night, and he died early this moroing. He was sixty years of age, and his bride was twenty-three. Mr. ne A was among the first purchasers of land of the Ocean Grove Association, his title dating in 1871. At that time he was a dealer in real estate in Pottsville, Pa. He was married, and had a fair property. With his first wife, who died here last winter, he came to the Grove in the summers of the following years unti 1S74. Then he became a permanent resident here. Since his wife's death the white-haired old ventleman had a young woman living at his house Ob Main street, near the gates of the Grove. She was light, graceful and refined in manners, and she Sometimes went with the old gentleman op hi evening walks. Last eveuing, as they were waikiug in Delaware avenue, near Wesley Lake, Mr. Godfrey turned to his companion and said: “ Kate, if we are ever going to be married we might as well be married now.” Miss Kate, who, it seems, is the sister of Mr. Godfrey's first wife, consented. They were then just abreast of the Rev. Mr. Jaquet’s tent, and without waiting for the arrival of friends they entered the tent of Mr. Jaquet. Mr. Godfrey repeated to the minister what he had said to Kate, and requested the immediate petformauce of the ceremony of marriage. irs. Jaquet and daughter were the witnesses, and the couple were quickly joined in wed- lock. The bride and groom were in walking posting and after the wedding they went ome. Last evening the sudden marriage was much talked about, some saying: “I guess the old ladies won’t get much of that TOp- erty.” It seems that the first Mrs. Godlrey had promised the estate to the Oid_ Ladies’ Home. This morning at 8 o'clock, as Mr. God- frey was in the garden near his house, he was suddenly seized with pain. He hastened into his house and had Dr. Alday, who lived near, summoned. Medical aid, however, was useless, and Mr. Godfrey died in a few mniuutes, from disease of the heart. -AN AUDACIOUS ATTEMPT TO CARRY OFF A YOUNG GIkL.—Between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock Friday night an attempt was made to abduct the twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. French, from his residence, No. 318 Lexington avenue. The daughter-in-law of Mr. Freach heard some one in the hall leading past her room, and thinking that it was about time for her father-in-law to return from his store, cailed him by name, telling him that the matches and lamp were upon the mantel. The man came into the room, went to tie mantel, took the matches, but without lightiag the lamp left the room. A few moments afier the man left the room she suddenly becaine very sleepy, and from then remembers nothing. The man, after visiting the room of Mr. French, proceeded to a room in which was sleeping the little daughter of Mr. French. He took the child from the bed, and when she awoke she was in the arms of a large map, who was bearing her towards the back oe She at once screamed for help, when 6 ruffian told her to keep Hora or he would blow her brains out. The little one was not to be frightened by his threats and continued to scream, and at the same time was ok: ling to free herself from the sp of he vil- jain.

(From His Faneuil Hall Speech. } There was a small little grocery store down south in a little village, and they had in a cage atame crow. A few men used profane Lane uage, and the erow learned to say “Damn you. hey had a fuss one night and the cage ell down, and the old crow flew out and built a nest in the rafters of the only little chureh there was in that village. Every two weeks the minister held a prayer meeting there, and one evening he was delivering his sermon, and when he was becoming warm with his subject the old crow poked out her head and said “Damn you.” The old minister wondered. He commenced to tremble, but he tried to keep his courage up and resumed the sermon, when again the bird of darkness said “Damn yor His knees trembled. The old crow flew down upon the platform upon the pulpit. He threw his sermon one way, his Bible the other, and jumped out of the window. The audience began to rush to the door, but there happeded to be one old lady who had a lame ley in that audience, and she fell down. She had a satchel, and in that was some bread and cheese. When she fell, the satchel flew open and the cheese fell upon the floor. The old crow hopped from the puipit to the cheese, and he looked at her. She opened her eyes and said: “It'sthe devil!” The old crow says: “Damn you!” And then she says: “And damn you, too! I didn’t organize this meeting; I didn’t call this meeting. This was a Method- ist meeting, and I am a Baptist. Next November, ladies and gentlemen, by a united organization you will have the siate of Massachusetts in the same predicament.

(Paris Correspondence Rochester Express. ) While in the French department of agrieul- ture I was much interested in an exhibit for fattening poultry by machinery. The hens and cocks were arranged in littlé stalls about ten inches square, with their heads towards the open front and their feet haltered to the floor in a way to prevent their turning round. The attendant passed in front of the stalls, seized the pabany bird 7 the nape of the , 49 Whiel neck, inserted a tul h was attached a tong hose, inte ics mouth, pressed upon a pedal with her foot, and a graduated quantity of food was forced into the stomach of the bird.

I have nowhere else tasted such sweet, juicy chicken as they have here. About the morality of this system there eel, also be some question, and I doubt it it could obtain ina country blessed with Bergh. ; 4 8 It certainly divests chicken life of much of its romance. They must devote their lives exclusively to the ignoble, unheroic business of getting fat. No crowing or cackling and nest-hiding in out-of-the-way places in barns, or hatching. or seratehing for the early worm inp or on ancestral dung hills for them. Indeed, these people who, it is said, have no word for home, have done much to divest the lives of chickens of hallowed and homelike associations. They are hatched in steam in- eubators, and the velvety little birds never know the sheltering arms of the old hen, but are protected in flannel-lined drawers. A FATAL PRIZE-FIGUT occurred recently in an English school. Two of the pupils of the Collegiate School, Sheffield, quarreled in the play-ground and went to another portion of the premises, where a ring was formed and the dispute was fought out. Young Moulson’s face very much disfigured, and his eyes were nearly closed. Two days later he com- plained of being seriously unwell, and on the Monday following, a week after the fight, he died from congestion of the brain. An inquest has been held, and its result, according to the Telegraph, is one which all those who are interested in the prosperity and welfare of the School will regard not without pain, but yet with a certain measure of satisfaction. It is admited that the two beys quarreled; that they agreed in school boy fashion, and in accordance with the school-boy code of honor, to fight their dispute out; that the fight was obstinate: and that the vanquished champion was much bruised and beaten. But it has been proved by the medical testimony that the bo: was suffering from a disease of the heart and circulatory ogre Known as “purpura,” and that his death, even if the exertion of the fight accelerated if, was due to natural causes and not to any injuries actually received from his school-mate and play-fellow. English school- boys may, therefore, go on thrashing one another to their hearts’ content.

By so doing, where there is a fire engine in the neighborhood, it will of- ten be possible to confine the ire to one room. Every person who stops at a. hotel should take particular pains before retiring to note the location of the stairways, so that in case of an alarm he can find his way out, even though the halls are filled with smoke. Never leave a room where there is an alarm of fire without first securing a wet towel, or, it possikle, a wet sponge, or piece of woollen | cloth, through whieh to breathe.

A NEVADA MULE ON THE STAGE.—At one of the theaters in a town of Nevada, the play of the ty Thieves” was lately presentes but in rather a meagre manner, as may be in- ferred from the lack of abundant scenery and | properties in the far west. When Ali Baba ad seen the thieves enter and quit the cave, he went to the wings and ones in a mule which, having taken grave offence at som thing, awaited his opportunity for revenge. No sooner had Ali come out of the cave with his bars of wealth, and attempted to put them on the back of the beast, than he began his part of the performance. He let fly with his heels; Kicked the shavings (the supposed riches) out of the bags: kick down the cavern; kicked down a whole forest; kicked down the wings; kicked the end of the bass viol, leaning against the stege, to pieces; smashed the footlixhts, and finally doubled uj Ali by planting bin feet in the pit of hi stomach. The mule fairly cleared the stay and s*{ the audience in a great roar, t | miners laying wagers that he could outkick any mule in the state. The quadruped con- tinued kicking as if he were hung on a pivot, until a rope Was fastened around him aud hé was dragged off by the united strength of the company. The Nevadans want to give the mule a benefit. SWEET SWIMMERS. tty. Yes.
