IT T must be apparent to any one who will take the trouble to read a column of current dramatic gossip in any newspaper, that there ought to be a special marriage law for players. While some persons of the histrionic profession stay married a good while, there is no denying that the average of domestic infelicity in that profession is exceedingly high, and that an exorbitantly large number of married actors and actresses, make application first or last to be unmarried. One can't go to a play without realizing that this tendency toward a variegated domesticity is a natural outgrowth of play-acting. Our minds, it is true, control our actions, but our actions, conversely, have a reflex influence on our minds, and a gentleman who conscientiously comports himself on the stage as the husband or lover of successive charming ladies is not to be over-much blamed if matrimonial change becomes a second nature to him, and he flits from flower to flower in real life as he does in his profession. man being inseparable in the law's eye, the man is held bound by the artist's action, and has to go to trouble and expense, and sometimes wait long and make distant journeys before he can go free. It doesn't seem quite right that it should be that way. If a man has the artistic temperament, and the public encourages him to cultivate it by going to see him act, it seems mean and unreasonable to subject him to the same sort of matrimonial legislation as if he had the domestic temperament to begin with, and had never been encouraged to do anything to break it up. Something ought to be done about it, but the state legislature has adjourned again without doing it. THE HE Evening Post avers that we owe the new law, which hopeful persons believe is going to give clean streets to New York, directly to the efforts of Mrs. Kinnicutt. This competent lady, it seems, having induced some fit males to meet and devise an adequate bill, took it from them and juggled it through the Mayor's office and legislature by feminine slight of hand. If the new law works half as well as we hope it will, LIFE intends to suggest that when the too-tall Diana comes down from the Madison Square tower, Mrs. Kinnicutt's imperishable effigy shall take its place. A BLOCK HEAD ASS DUN JA TH HE hoops are off of Yale. Her staves have fallen in on one another, and she that erstwhile was a hogshead proud is now merely a humble pile of shook. Heffelfinger is going to leave! It was thought that the university had a life lease of him, and a permanent grasp on success at football, but the Union Pacific Railroad made him an offer, and he accepted it. He will be employed to push behind on freight trains going up the heavy Rocky Mountain grades, and thus his great strength and enormous leg power will be utilized. Poor Yale! Who will carry her now?
