There ■was an amusing little eposide during the performance of “ Drink,” at the Princess’s Theatre, recently. When Coupeau —very bad—opened the cupboard where the fatal bottle awaited him, the said bottle, insecurely placed, fell out, and was smashed to pieces. Poor Coupeau was not to be deprived of his drink, for without it, it was impossible for him either to induce “ d.t." or to die. Moreover, it was necessary—absolutely necessary—to the actor’s “ business.” Mr Charles Warner was equal to the occasion, and tottering first to one side of the stage and then to the other, coherency was mingled with incoherency, and among his mutterings were to be heard, by attentive listeners, the words, “ Bring another bottle, bring another bottle." Miss Fannie Leslie obeyed the behest, and the situation was saved; Nothing is so painful in the spring season of the year as the disheartening spectacle of a nine-year-old hen looking through the fence at a man digging a garden, while she exercises her rugged legs and incisive claws on the plank walk, just keeping in practice until the garden is ready. The young woman who doesn’t scream when a candle bug crawls down her back is she who, later in life, can spank a baby till it thinks the day of judgmnnt has arrived; then go smiling to the parlor and receive her friends with an easy grace that is as soothing as a dose of morphine. King Alfonso broke his arm a fortnight ago, but as bo has just gone on a visit to his girl, the St. Louis 11 Times Journal ” concludes it isn’t the arm that he finds use for when the two sit out on the front stoop of the palace and look at the moon.
