HIS FIRST PLAYHOUSE. m Some Kttracti from .Toeph JonVMon'a LonKx-iecteil Autobiography. I may almost say that I was born in a theater. At all events my earliest rec ollections are entirely connected with one; it was a rickety old framo building with a broad gable, facing on a wide avenue, and situated in tho city of Washington. Tho door from our hack -entry opened upon tho stago, and as a toddling little chap in a short frock I was allowed full run of tho place. So "behind the scenes" was my first play house. And what a playhouse it was, filled with all sorts of material for tho exercise of my youthful imagination. At tho back was the bay of Naples, with its conventional bluo sky just faintly clouded with tho distant smoko of slum boring Vesuvius. Upon ono sido stood long and stately rows of Corinthian columns, a triumphal arch, and next to that a Roman palace. These marvols of ancient architecture wore all leaning up against the wall, not only in an un conifortablo position, but at a dangerous angle, looking as though they had been toppled over during the last days of Pompoii. Upon the other side, heaped in a compact mass, wcro many sconos of various countries there a fivo-storied brown-stone front with modern improve ments, and hore a tiny thatched cottage of the eighteenth century, with a lo.cly little door in it just largo enough for mo to go in and out of, slamming it after mo and pretending it was mine. Then there was that dear littlo whito paling fence, exactly two feet high; no legitimate theater of tho old school could posssibly bo comploto without this curiosity, and nobody ever saw such a thing anywhore else. Then camo the throno-steps, with two Gothic arm-chairs set thereon for tho King and Queen, and in front of these tho old familiar green bank from which stray babies are usually stolen whon left thero by affectionato but careless mothers. Upon tho top of this were two flat swans hitched in doubio harness to a shell for traveling fairy queer.-?. A littlo further down thoro .stood a low and dismal vault hav ing a square, dark opening with some mysterious letters painted over it, set ting forth, as I learned in after years, that it was tho private "Tomb of the Capulcts." Closo to this was another piece of real estate belonging to tho same family .and known as "Juliet's bal cony.' In a dark corner stood a robber's cave with an opening through which old Ali Baba used to lug the bags of gold ho had stolen from tho Forty Thieves. Through the narrow and secluded path ways" of "behind the scenes" I havo often wandered out upon the open stago and wondered at this grove of wings and flats, and I could see that many ropes were hanging from abovo to which were fastened boats and baskets, tubs and chandeliers, and those sure tokens of bad weather, tho thunder-drum and rain-box. These were the kind of objects that my childish eyes were wont to look upon, and in this hugo and dusty toy shop made for children of a larger growth, I got' my first experience. I had seen Juany rehearsals, and some times got a peep at tho play, having been taken on "in arms" as a property child in groups of happy peasantry. Naturally, therefore, I was stage-struck at an early ago; and as I had a theater stocked with scenery and properties, I could indulgo my passion at a small ex pense, especially as my stock company wcro volunteers consisting of two littlo boys and their sister, who used to play with me on Saturdays. This was before tho slur -.yatum had set in, and at a period .whun combinations were ua .known. Of courso I was stage manager by tho Tight of possession, and had to compilo .all of the plays. Tho plots wore very sfmplo and made to conform with what sot pieces we could get at, or what prop erties we could secure and hido during the absence of the property man. If tho set cottage was handy I would come out of the door as an old man (tho ago rcp resented by a spinal affection) with a daughter and a market-basket; .old man cross, .daughter rebellious; old man Jocks daughter in cottage, goes off to market shaking his list (spiuo still weak). Tho favored lover enters, claps his hands three times, daughter appears at .window, kisses her hand; old man coughs outside, favored lover conceals "hims'jlf; enter old man with market basket full of gilded pasteboard goblots, accompanied by unfavored lover; they sit down and drink wine out of goblets till overcome. Favored lover steals key from .old man's pocket, releases rebel lious daughter; tho sleepers awaken, general pursuit; .favored lover and re bellious. daughter escape over bridge, old man and unfavored lover fall intothe -water. Curtain. Then there were the private boxes to play hide-and-seek in, with mysterious -nooks and ample curtains to creep into, .and auch chauccs to kia tho littlo girl tin the dark. I am quite convinced that ttkere jinosuch playground as a deserted theater in tho day time. Josoph JcUer stpn, in -Century.

The second day's session of tho farmers' congress was well attended. At tho morning session Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, president of the Wool Growers' Association, on behalf of a majority of the committee on resolutions, re ported a resolution demanding that in case the protective policy should bo continued, all farm products should be as fully protected us any article of manufacture. Mr. Wilhite, of Mis souri, offered a minority report pledg ing the fanners of the United States to a reduction of the tariff and to a change of duties from the necessaries to tlm luxuries of life as far as possible. Both reports were laid over. Judge Lawrence offered resolutions iw i..o -u-T.1, uuii uieuuicimnuiiu.1 , !... .nv..i !...- i... ........ .... .i:.i not need the revenue raised bv tho tax on spirits and that the question should be relegated to the States; also favor ing the repeal of tho tax on tobacco, lioth resolutions were reported ad versely by the committee. Hon. L. S. Collin delivered an address on railroads and their relations to the fanner. The speaker was sharply criticised by a number of delegates a- being too much in sympathy with rail roads and corporations. I Judge Lawrence read a paper on i wool growing and mutton producing, pointing out the great bcuelit which, would arise to the people from in creased sheep raising and urging pro tection fur this interest. His address w:ls followed by some adverse discus sion. One delegate cited an instance of an investment of SI, 107 in sheep which paid a profit of over 40 per cent. ket about ten to fifteen per cent, cheap in one year, which he said set this in- ' cr than German beeves, but are found dustry beyond the need -of a protecting ' not suited to tho German market, prin- tariff.

Flint & Co. received the fol lowing cablegram late yesterday, dated Rio de Janeiro: 'Revolution hnsbrokeu ! out nere. J. lie J'raziltau army is in con trol. Ministry has resigned. Tho revolution is for the purpose of found ing a lepublic." Similar dispatches were received by Arbuckle thus, and Joseph J. O'Douo hue & Sous. These dispatches were received about four o'clock, just after the Coffee Ex change had closed for the day. The reports came like a clap of thun der to coffee dcaleis thioiu-hout the city, who were made acquainted with them, and are likely to cause serious trouble on the exchange if confirmed. While the dealers generally spoke in a hopeful strain, they exhibited signs of uneasiness. The Coffee Exchange closed yester day afternoon wit h coffee I5.li; bid only a few minutes befoie the dispatches were received. The new coffee ciop in llrazil is almost ready to be lint vested, and the supply on the maiket heie is consequently limited. If a revolution has broken out and tho ports of Santos and Itio do Janeiro are blockaded, 75 per cent, of the coffee supply of this country will be cut olf. This will be productive of very .serious consequences throughout the country. When a confirmation of tho report is received at tho exchange to-day fiom London there is likely to beauuuhcaid of scene on the floor. The blockading of Brazilian ports at tending a revolution in that country would result in the cutting olf more than three-fourths ol the entire India rubber supply of this country and compel tho shutting down of nearly ail the immense rubbei goods manufact uring concerns in the United States, as the supply on hand at present is not sufficient to last two weeks.

Tho preamble preceding a scries of resolutions adopted states that it is the opinion of the people that the demone tization of silver sixteen years ago by this country and foreign powers w.u the result of a cous'-raey of tho few against the manv. of tho creditor class against the debtor class, of tho consumers against the pro ducers, of tho idlers against the work ers; that siuco the time mentioned tho ! period has been marked by constantly declining prices of staple comm d:tics and of all tho products of the (annum!

The decla rations aro in substance that the only remedy is to restore tin coinage system in effect prior to ISss. to re monetizo silver and provide for itseom ' age to tho maximum of S4.0WUHM) per month at present and as soon as Con gress can pass a law to that effort the coinage shall bo made unlimited iu amount.
