And to denominations of $1,000, $500, and *S 100 can bo ob- tainod from the undersigned, or through the principal banks and banker*' throughout tho United States. Tho attractive feature, of these Secnrtties are recogniz- ed to the fact that although they have been but a short time on the market, they are nearly all absorhed, and but; a small amount is now lor sale. They.combine a perfoot securfty with a liberal rate Jlof interest. Thla Interest aooount la made light for, and easily borne by, the Company through U>» operation of the Sinking Fund created from sales of tho Company's land, which In many oases draw Interest at the rato of ten (10) per oent* Per annum. Tho seourity behind them Is ample In every particular, as they constitute a first and only mortgage on atrank line of railroad whioh will soon oonnect the City of S t Joseph, Mo., (an Important rail- way centre), with the Union Paoiao Rallroadat Fort Eoar- ney, materially shortening the dlstanoe between the At- iantio and Paclflo coasts. l a addition to this the Bonds have a further security to the loot that there is lnoladed in the Mortgage, the Company's magnificent lands amounting to 1,500,000 acres, known to be among the best ta the United States. The Mortgage Indenture prohibits tho sale of those Lands at lees than Four (4) Dollars per aero, and payable to the Trusteea under the Mortgage, for the clear and express purpose of retiring these bonds. The amount thus real- ized exoeeds the entire amount of Bonds whioh can be issued, and leaves the road property and franohlse free. . The Bonds have thirty year* to run, with interest at BIGHT Per Cent., Free of Tax, payable February and August to each year. Both principal and interest SJO payable in gold. The principal in New York. The Interest in either New York, I<)ndon.or_fr_nkfortK>n-the-M_in, at the option of the holder, without notico, and in the gold currency of the country in which they are presented. They are coupon or registered. Trustee-—Farmers' Loan and Trust Company. The present price of these bonds Is 97)4 and acorued Interest to eurrenoy, from August 15, 187L But they ar» receivable at par and acorued Interest in payment f o t lands sold by the Company. The right Is reserv*^ to , , } . vanoe the present selling price without no tic a, Maps, oirculars, doouments, and full l*"_f0nnation fur- nished on application.

Mr. Payne Collier states that tho practioe of printing infor- mation at to the time, place, and nature of the performances to be presented by the players was certainly common prior to the year 1663., John Nortbbrooke, in his treatise against theatrical performers, published about 1579, says: "They use to eet np their bills npon posts' some, certain days before to" admonish people to make resort to their theatres." The old plays make f reorient reference to the posting of the playbills. Thus, in the induction to "A Warning for Fair Women," 1699, , .' TRAGEDY WHIPS COMEDY •' from.the..stage, crjing•:•',-;'+• ;^-,--'..y 'Us you lavekept the theatreso long Painted in playbills upon every post, • , While I am scorned of the multitude. • Taylor, the water poet,; in ,his "Wit and Mirth,"- records the story of Field the actor's riding rap- idly up Fleet street, a i d , being stopped by a gentleman with an inquiry as to the play that was to be played that night.. Field, being angry to be stayed upon so frivolous a demand, answered, that he might see' what play was to be played upon every poet. * I cry yon mercy,' said the gentleman, t.s I took you for a post, you rode so fast.'" ]JI the earliest days of the stage, beforeHie invention of printing, the announcement that theatrical peofonnanees were about to be exhib- ited was made by sound of trumpet, much after the manner of modern strollers and showmen at fairs and street corners. To the Lin- colnshire company of players, however, this musical preface to their efforts seemed objec- tionable and derogatory, and they determined, on one of their visits to the town, to dispense With the old-established sounds. But the .. REFORM RESULTED IN EMPTY BENCHES. Thereupon the "revered, well-remembered and' beloved Marquis of Granby sent for the manager of tiie troop, and thus addressed him: "Mr. Manager, I like a play^ I like a player; and I shall be glad to serve, you. But, my' good friend, why are you all so offended at and averse to the noble sound of a drum? I like it, and all the inhabitants like it. Put my name on your playbill, • provided you drum, but not otherwise. Try the effect on to-morrow nigJit; if then you are as thinly attended as you have lately been, shut up your playhouse at once: but if it succeeds drum /away!" The players with- drew their opposition and followed the counsels' of the marquis. The musical prelude was again heard in the streets of Grantham, and crowded houses were obtained. The company enjoyed a prosperous season, and left the town in great credit. "And I am told," adds Wukinson, "the custom" is continued at Grantham to this day." Chetwoodj who had been twenty years promp- ter at Drury Lane and published a "History of the Stage" ia 1749, describes a difficulty that had arisen ia regard to printing the playbills. Of old the lists of characters had been set forth ac- cording to the books of the plays, without re- gard to the merits of the performers. "As, for example, in 'Macbeth/ Duncan, King of Scotland, appeared first in the bill, though acted by an insignificant person, and so every other actor appeared according to hie dramatic dignity, all of the same sized | letter. But latterly, I can assure my readers, I have found it a difficult task to please some la- dies as well as gentlemen, because I COULD NOT FTND LBTTEB8 LABOR ENOUGH \ to please them; and some were so fond of elbow room that they would have shoved everybody out but themselves, as if on<* person was to do alL and bare tlje -jri* of all. UKe generais of an army." Garrick seems to have been the first actor honored by capital letters of extra size in the playbills. The Connoisseur, in 1754, says: "The writer of the playbills dealt out his capitals in so just a proportion that you may tell the salary of each actor bythe.size of the letter in which his name is printed. When the present manager of Drury Lane first came on the stage a new set of types, two inches long, were cast on purpose to do honor to his extraordinary merit." These distinctions in the matter of printing oc- casioned endless jealousies among the actors. Macklin made it an express charge against his manager, Sheridan, the actor, that he was ac- customed to print his own name in larger type than was permitted the other performers. Kean threatened to throw up his engagement at Drury Lane on account of his name having been print- ed in capitals of a sffialler size than usual. His engagement of 1818 contained a condition, "and also that his name shall be continued in the bills of performance in the same manner as it is at gresent/' viz., large letters. On tbo other hand, lowton, the comedian, greatly objected to hav- ing his name that particularised, and expostulat- ed with Elliston, his manager on the subject. "I am sorry you have done this," he wrote.. "You know-well what I mean. The eurs- ed quackery. These big letters. There is a WANT OF RE8PECTABIIJTr ABOUT IT. or rather a notoriety which gives one the feeling of an absconded felon, against whom a hue and cry is made public. Or u there be really any ad- vantage in it, why should I, or any single individ' ual, take it over the rest of our brethren ? But it has a nasty disreputable look, and I have fancied the whole day the finger of the town pointed at me, as much as to say, ' That is ho ! Now for the reward!' Leave this expedient to the .police officers, or to those who have a taste for it. I have none." O'Keeffe relates that once when an itinerant showman brought over to Dublin a trained mon- key of great acquirements, Mossop engaged the animal at a large salary to'appear for a limited number of nights at his theatre. Mossop's name in the playbill was always in a type nearly two'inch- eslong, the rest of the performers'names being in very email letters. But,to the moukey were devoted.capitais of equal size to Mossop's ; so that, greatly to the amusement of thepublic, on the playbills posted about tho town, nothing could be distinguished but the words, The fastest city, ip, the worid—electri-city.

With the rise and growth of the press came the expediency of advertising tbe performances of the theatres in the columns of the newspapers. To the modern manager advertisements are a very formidable expense. The methods ne is compelled to resort to in order to bring his plays and players well under the notice-of tho public, involve a serious charge upon hia receipts. But of old the case was precisely the! reverse. The theatres were strong, the newspapers were weak. So far from the manager paying money for' the insertion of ids advertisements in the journals, he absolutely received profits on tbis account. The press then suffered under severe restrictions, and was jealously regarded by the -governing powers; leading articles were as yet unknown; the printing of parliamentary debates was strict- ly prohibited; foreign intelligence was scarcely obtainable; of home news there was little stirring that could with safety be promul- gated. So that the proceedings of the THEATRES BECAME OF REAL mpOBTANCE to the newspaper proprietor, andit was worth his while to pay considerable sums for early informa- tion in this respect. Moreover, in those days, not merely by reason of its owa • merits, but be- cause of the absence of competing attractions and other sourees of entertainment, the stage was much more than at present an object of gen- eral regard. In Andrews' "History of British Journals" it is recorred, on the authority of the ledger of Henry WoodfalL tho publisher of the Public Advertiser: "The theatres are a great expense to the papers. Among the items of pay- ment are, playhouses, one hundred, pounds. Drury Lane advertisements, sixty-four pounds, eight shillings and sixpence, Covent'Garden, do.' sixtrv-Bix pounds eleven shillings. The papers paid two .hundred pounds a year to each theatre "for the accounts of new plays, and would reward, the messenger with a smiling or half A crown who brought them the first copy of a pUybuL" In. 1721, the following announce- ment appeared in the' J>aU_> Post:.. ',The man-' agers of Drury' Lane-think it proper to give notico that advertisements of their plays, by their authority, are , .PUBLISHED ONLY IN THIS PAPER and the Daily Courant, and that the publishers of all other papers who insert advertisements of tho same plays can do it only by some surrepti- tious intelligence or heresay, which! frequently leads them to commit gross errors, as, mention- ing one play for another, falsely representing the parts. &o., to the misinformation of the town, and the great detriment of the said theatre." And the Public Advertiser of January L, 1765, contains a notice; "To prevent any mistake in future in advertising the plays ahd entertain- ments of Drury Lane: Theatre, the managers think it proper to declare'that the playbills are inserted by their direction in this paper only." It is clear that the science of advertising was but dimly understood at this date. The exact date when the managers began to pay instead of receive on the score of their advertisements is hardly to be ascertained. Mention of Old Drury Lane brings us naturally to the admirable v ., "STORY OF THE FLYING PLAYBrLL," contained in the parody of Crabbe, perhaps tho most perfect specimen in that unique collection of parodies, "Kojected Addresses." Th^ verses by the pseudo-Crabbe include the following lines: - Perchance whflo pit and gallery cry "Hats off !" And awed consumption chocks his cbided cough, Some glRgling daughter of the Queen of Xovo Drops, roit ot pin, her playbill from above;' Liko Icarus, while laughing galleries clap, '. Soars, ducks, and dives in air the printed scrap; But, wiser far than he, combustion fears; And, as It flics, eludeethe chandeliers ; . f Till, sinking gradual, with repeated twirl, It settles, curling, on a fiddler's curl, v 1 Who from his powdered pate the intruder strikes, .
