Then they get no meal till dinner, after the procession, say at noon. Wherever they are, the work must be attended to first, and eating is a second consideration. With tho performers, gymnasts, riders, clowns nnd the like, it is not so bail. They get better lay and better food. As a rule, they live on ho best food there is to be bail where they happen to be, and they take a great deal of it Most of thorn are great beef eaters, and nre not very particular whether the ment is cold or hot, so long as it is good and plenty. They are very particular, lu ever, about cleanliness. I have seen tweuty or thirty of them get UP and lenvo the table becAuso the table cloth was dirty. And when they wan* a meal they want it, and will have it I have often seen them leave hotel whore they would have to wait fif teen minutes for a dinner thnt was paid for, nnd go to a restaurant where they would have to bny another. They won't ent unless they are hungry; but they rto always hun gry after a night performance, and will not go to bed without a hearty supper. They snj they can't sleep if they are empty. "One thingthat is pecnliar about them is that they do not take medicine, and they are remarkably healthy. When they ure oat of sorts they diet themselves, each one according to his own ideas; lint I don't think I ever saw $.10 worth of medicine nronnd a circus in nil the years I bnvo been in the business. Yes, they drink. Not to excess, but nearly all of them drink when they feel like it. They nevor drink, how ever, before performing. They arOvery careful of themselves. They hove to be or they would not last long. "Ab a matter of conrse, with their irregu lar habits, they are, in a certain sense, ex travagant This, however, is mainly in the matter of eating.

A handsome closed brougham, with nn enamelled monogram upon the shining olive panels anil tin- silver lamps and the puli dosl mounting* glistening m tin .un tight, stood in front of ono of tho grent stores in Union Square on Wednesday af ternoon. Tho coats of tho tall bay horses wereglo*sy and smooth, the silver-monnted harness trappings shone brightly, anil eve rything about the cqnipagewos its it shonld be, except tho coachman. Not that tho coachman was less elegant in appearance than tho carriage or the horses. The proportions of his chest were I in- great '-".it lilt- -1 without a wrinkle, his tall, silk hat shone with the undimmed luster of the worker's gloss, a handsome far cape adorned his broad shoul ders, and his gloves were now and perfect. But instead of holding his hood erect with thnt dignity nnd lmutenr that belong alone to coachmen and kings, he nodded sleepily ujion hie box, nnd every other minute his chin sunk into the fur of his cape. There were no other carriages neat, and tbs sleepy coachmen's head bobbed up nnd dowD. Destiny bad arranged tunt at this inne tare of affaire J dm A. Mnckay should be puasing through Union Square with a friend on his way tc dress for the afternoon performance of E.angaline, at the Four teenth Ktieet Theatre. The comedian en tertains a lofty con euipt for men who can not stay up three nights in succession and remain awake the next day; and, therefore, when he caught sight of the nodding coach man, his soul was disturbed. He stopped and remarked to his friend: “I'll bet $4 that that dnffer rill nod his bat off in less than eight minutes." The other refused the riak aa unduly haz ardous, and the two watched the coachman for a few momenta, and were about to walk on again, when Mr. Mackay we* suddenly seized with an inapiratiou. He bode his friend go on and wait for him before tbe next ahow window. Then he stepped np to the side of the carriage, opened the door softly, and then slammed it ahut again. The effect upon the coachman was elec trical. Up went his chin into the air, and in bis features could be detected the relief bo felt that hia mistress had got into the carriage srithont detecting hia criminal sleepiness. Then he turned his head slightly to receive hia direction*, and ob served Mr. Mackay apparently in conversa tion with the occupant of the carriage. The comedian addressed a few polite re marks to the empty carriage, said: “Good alternoorn" raised hia hat and then turned to the coachman. “Home," ho said, nnd the brougham turned majestically about and rolled swiftly np town. A moment later a sealskin-clad lady emerged from the store, followed by the porter carrying half a score of bundles. Sko walked to the enrbstone and looked with amazement np nml down the street, and then tnrncd angrily back to the store. »“K«r be it from me to intrude upon the sanctity of her grief," observed Mackay, softly, and with his friend he walked down Konrtocnth street ri.

A Vincennes, Ind., special to tht Globe- Democrat tells the following atory: X pretty little romance lms just come to light in this county, in which an old couple havo figured for forty-six years, and which tlnally culminated in the msrmge of tho Many years ago there lived county, a manner hsd been handed down as a beautiful tradition. So beautiful was she that there are not wanting those among the older men of the community who say that Charlotte Thomp son was the handsomest woman they bod ever known. Them lived here, too, at that early day a youth, bright, gallant and manly, whose memory has always remained cheru ied and respected by those who knew him, so much so that his old friends always speak of Harry Posey iu tho gentlest terms. It is not strange, then, that these two were lo /era in that olden time. The fates decreed, however, that they should be sep arated, and the fair lady departed with her friends for the North, while the disappointed lover bade adieu to home and kindred and disappeared in the Sunny South. These lows, however far npnrt they wandered, still loved. A Inst letter, missent nnd un answered, by some particular fatality, crea ted tho druel separation, but the lovers nevertheless cherished each other in fondest remembrance, and were true as steel to * 1 m ir youthful dilution. Ono autumn day, not long ego, a lady strange to tbe present inhalr’antsoi Bruce- ville arrived at that quiet little village, and was entertained as a guest at the residence of her cousin, Mr. Noah Roberts, one of the wealthiest citizens of tho country. The lady came from Cold water, Mich., and was royally entertained by her relatives.

He was known to a few, but gave his name os Harry Posoy, with his post- oflice address at Sweetwater, Tex. At a so cial gathering one evening, Horry Posey and Charlotte Thompson met. For forty-six years they had not seen each other, nor heard one word concerning each other’s wel fare Explanations were made; the old love was rekindled; vows were renewed, the old promises were recalled, and in the wan ing years of their life, when almost three •core years and ten had passed over their heads, there hearts and hands were re united. So last Sabbath evening, just nt the twi light honr, these old people, Harry Posey and Charlotte Thompson, were bound heart and hand in the matrirn nial yoke. Elder J. A.

An elegant ban quet was given at tho residence of Mr. John Emisonin honor of tho interesting event, Terrlbl Ciiic\oo, December 28.—A special dis patch from El Pit », Texas, published here this morning, says: \V.
