Concerning Actors.
“F, H. B.,’’ in th* Atlanta Constitution.
Actors used to die famous and poor,,
but such is no longer the rule. A man
with an established reputation in any
line, from burnt coik to buskin, with
out the leeches, whisky and cards drain
ing his pnrse, has no excuse for not
making a fortune on the stage.
Booth, bnt for his mistaken invest- 1
menfcs, would have been a millionaire!
to-day.
Ned Sothern made more than one for
tune, though no one can tell what he!
did with most of the money.
Joo JeffersoD, the richest of Ameri
can actors, can count nearly to the four
figures.
John Owens has returned a decent
fortune.
John McCullough has male himself
rich in three or four years, and even
Tom Keene is fast becoming independ
ent.
Billy Florence has so much of the
‘Almighty Dollar” that he intends to
leave the stage soon.
Lotta has given away a hundred
thousand dollars. Frank Maye saved
seventy-live thousand on the profits of;
“Davy Crockett.” Barrett is rich.
Robson and Craua netted over forty
thousand dollars last season, and will
make as much this se ison. Mary An
derson invested a hundred thousand
last year made in her b;ief, bright ca
reer, besides what she has spent for
diamonds and clothes. Milton Nobles
1b rated at a hundred thousand^ aud Joe
Emmett, despite his slavery to whisky,
is reported worth twice that, Barney
Macanley is fast regaining a lost for
tune. Raymond is making money fast
er than be ever did, and McKee Ran
kin bos enough for comfort. Harrigan
and Hart have a gold mine in the centre
of New York. All the prieb fc minstrels
are fattening their pockets. Clara Mor
ris, Kate Claxton, Fanny Davenport,
Genevieve Ward, Charlotte Thompson,
Annie 1‘ixley and Emma Abbott are
all ladies of excellent financial circum
stances. Louise .Pomeroy ; s worth
more than “Brick."’ I forgot Joli Clark,
who has made money steadily hers apd
abroad. A nd so oil.
It may be said that there is prore
wealib than genius on the American
stage to (luy. Nobody begrudges odc
cent of it. These people are servants
of the people and deserve to be well
paid. Shut off until late in life from
the anchorage apd peace of home, ever
striving to please that fickle mistress,
the public taste, abased by captions
critics and scandalized by wanton gos
sips, they deserve tbq occasional smiles
of the goid-giving goddess, and for one
l am glad they get it.
One sad instance on the other side
was that of poor Edwin Adams, who,
act.jrs say, was the sweetest nature in
their family, and jyho is a lasting mem
ory with every man who ever saw his
• Enoch Arden.” He almost lost his
voice before a long suffering came to
its end. And then Enoch went out in
to the shoreless sea, leaving Annie and
the little imps behind - in heart-broken
poverty. The aotors gave them a bene
fit. The theatre was tendered free. All
the stars were glad to appear on the
bill. There were enough volunteers 10
put out a dogen plays.' This was not
all. Beats were sold at auction. Little
'
Lotta bought;jene for five hundred doi
lars, and witbHhe prettiest, motion she
ever made tossed it; back into the box
to be sold again. Joe Jefferson plnnk-
ed down five hundred like a man, Oth
t-rs did as well for their means. Of
course tbepnblie was wild to go to the
wonderful performance, and every seat
was taken. yy’lien tbo tipket-sellers
counted up they had a little oyer twelve
thousand dollars. How mnph of it do
yqu think the widow and children of
Edwin Adaips received? Why, every
blessed cent. Everything, from theatre
n nt to bill posting had been given.
It seepis to me that this one beauti
ful deed sheds a halo over the Ameri
can stage, but there aire otfiefs like it
io make ns love the tender hearted
men and women who may be false be
hind the footlights, bnt are true and
warm and fopfler hearted in the cold
world outside. What would the great
cities be without the theatres? Or the
circle of wits without the" actors? Or
civilization and culture without the
firarna?
Tile ‘/Jbiye Beens.’
Columbus Enquirer.
The “have beens” constitute a nu
merous class in society which is made
np of people whese thoughts are ever
on the post. They delight to think of
what they once were, of how they
strutted their brief hour upon the
stage, of the money and friends they
oould command, and of the esteem in
which they were held by their follow
ers: Bnt that perhaps was many years
ago. Since then times hare changed
and the great, moving, bustling world
has also changed, The “almighty
dollar” has taken unto itself wings and
flown away; the breath of applause
has evaporated as the early dew and
“Friends have been scattered
Lite roses in bloom,
Some at the bridal
And'some at the tomb."
And so, in view of all these adverse
circumstances, the “have beens” have
settled down, if not into a state of
morose melancholy which refuses to
be comforted—they present a sad
plight in their weeds and ashes, la
menting the good times past. There
are far more such people—men and
women—than a casual observer would
imagine. They are people without en
ergy. and to a large measure without
hope, stuck fast in the slonghs of de
spondence.
The world is very little interested to
what pou have been, What are yon
now? is the more important question.
Are yon fighting manfnlly against ad
verse winds and tides, determined to
be somebudyin the active, living pres
ent? Heroism is admired and respect
ed, even by the coward, und he who
rises in spite of circumstances, is sure
to win the plaudit of “well done.”
Christian, in his encounters with
Apolyon, feli and rose many times be
fore he came off final victor, aud such
has been the experience of many of
earth's great spirits. Unconquerable
energy will call back the absent for
tune, and friends, and reinstate you
upon the pedastai of ambition. Iu
life’s contests vicisitudte are many,
but in our young aud vigorous country
the beggar of to-day may be the prince
of tomorrow. To win respect, a man
must deserve it; he must display the
elemepts of true manhood. Therefore,
linger not upon the past tor comfort.
If it has its pleasant memories and
associations, well and good, if not, for
get it, and fight manfully tLe battle of
to day. Fame urd fortune may be
ephemeral, but that heroic courage
which stands unflinchingly alike amid
success aud defeats, will survive vicissi
tudes apd come.off victor at lost.

How to Feed Stock.
Hi!I&Igsvil|e Union & Recorder,
In a recent paper on the subject of
ensilage, Mr. Francis Morris of How
ard connty, Maryland, gives some very
enconragicg details tfoout feeding
stock.
Many others make similar reports
equally encouraging. Mr. Morris
sowed one bnshel of corn to the acre
in drills 3 feet apart, on the 1st of
August and worked it only twice with
a cultivator. It was in tassel early in
October when it was mowed and cut
np into inch pieces, and to the green
corn fodder, thns cat np, was added
about one fifth of wheat3traw and the
whole was packed into the siloes by
tramping and then covered with boards
and heavy weights upon them ot
stones. After pressing upon them
considerably the stones were removed,
the boards covered with straw and then
with clay. The object was to exclude
the atmosphere and thus prevent its
oxygen from injuring the fodder. He
tells us be bad 3 siloes ten feet deep,
4 feet wide and 24 feet long and from
the contents he ted a thousand head
of stock for over two months. He
says that his horass, mules, oxen, cows,
sheep and pigs, will leave any other
food and eat this byjohoice. He says
“from long experience in raising stock
I have found corn fodder, preserved as
above stated, the best food for milking
cows I ever need. It is equal if not
superior to Jane grass; and its culti
vation is 60 easy, its preservation so
inexpensive, that to-day no one can es
timate its advantage to the agricul
turist, Now it will be seen how easy
a matter it is to find an abundance of
food for cattle without letting them
roam about, Mr. Morris says, 29
tons per acre is a very low estimate,
and that with a dressing of guano,
50 tons may be made to the acre.
His siloes were bricked up in a stone
barn but he made one out of do^ra
that held fron 50 to 75 tons. We
have seen accounts of others who had
the r sil jes out of doors that wore as
safe as those within. A single silo wiU
u nswer for a small farm. If dug out
of doors a place must be selected where
the water will not rise. One 6 feet
deep, 4 feet wide aud 10 feet long
would answer for perhaps a hundred
head of horses, cattle, cows, hogs,
sheep and goats for December, Janua
ry, February and March. There is
no necessity to brick it up, it i3 not
even necessary to plank it if the
ground is firm aud a covering is put
over it. Two or three acres of corn,
>r rye, to be cut and fed in April,
May, June, July. August and Septem-
ter will supply them in those moutliis
and the silo will supply them in the
others. This wrll give fat stock, fill
the country with an abundance of
meat, pf all kinds, milk, butter and
cheese, if the people would make it,
keep the stock uuder tflo eyes of the
owners and furnish an abundance of
manure for an improvement of portions
of the land. It will be seen from the
above that no one need oppose the no
fence law lest the stock may suffer.
This plan of muking ensilage for the
use of stock, offers a chance of im
provement in farming superior to aDy
that has arisen in many years. At
least it seems so to ns. Mr. Greely,
thirty old years ago, said that the
great thing needed by the south was
an iuorease of stock. His idea may
be more impressively urged now, than
then for the means of raising stock, as
now developed, is superior to any ever
known before. The people will be
blind to their own interests if they do
not take advantage of them- The
discovery of the Guano beds in various
parts of the world, the manufacture
of commercial fertilizers and the de
velopment of the ensilage plan of
feeding stock, seems to as to be bless-

It was designed for colored people, and
in order to attract that da6s of enstom,
the old man hang ont a sign bearing
this intelligence: “Fried Catfish.” Next
day a malicious rival rubbed ont the
fish” leaving the world to infer that
the old mairsold fried cat, and then en
tering the restaurant, sat down and ask
ed:
‘Gib me some ob de jailer species.
T doan grapple de termination ob
yer adverbs, sab,’ replied the proprie
tor.
‘Gib me some ob the fine-fur kind.’
‘Yer verb lingers too much to de

‘Gib me a spring kitten.’
‘Ter leab grammar an’ come down to

‘Yer sign says dat yon’s got fried cats;

‘Catfish, sah, my sign remarks,’
‘Bet yer a boss agin yer ’stablish-
ment dat de sign says fried cat widout

‘All right. De restaurant is np.”
‘De Loss is under de shed yonder.
Yer is a man ob honor, so is I, Now,
let’s ’cide de question.’
When the old man looked at the sign
he threw np his hands, hardened by
toil and wrinkled by years. ‘De ’etab-
lishment is yer own,’ he said. Eis rival
joyously acknowledged the willingness
with which the old man surrendered the
property, when Jerry remarked:
‘Willin’ness begits willin’ness, doan
hit?’
‘Ycrself is a flosipher, ole man.’
‘Bnt is my statement crecked?’
‘Yes, sah, I’d stake my earthly ’ses

‘Well, den, sense yer’s so willin’ ter

rival oould recover from his surprise,
the old man had mounted the horse.
But when he did recover, he rushed up»
caught him by one leg and dragged him
to the ground. A lively fight ensued,
and occasionally through a clond of
dust, bystanders could see that rheu
matism bad taken sides against Jerry.
When the two men were separated,
Jerry went to the State House, and
walked unannounced into the execu
tive chamber.
‘Gubner,’ he said, ‘I’se got a mighty
fine case far yer dis time,’ and he ex
plained the cause of his virit. ‘I wonts

Fifteen years has made a wonderful

taken by Columbus mills, For in
stance in 1865 66 the number of bales
taken was 80; in 1899-70 they consum
ed 1,627; in 1875-76 it had increased
to J2,I08 and five years later in 1879-

William Douglass., a postal agent on
the route from Sacramento to San Fran- Tecommel
third-term by billeting him on the
Treasury for life, is an incorrigible be
liever in the power of patronage. He
thinks, with Walpole, that every man
Las his price, and, acting upon that
conviction, he has contrived to control
most of the important offices thns far
disposed of in Hlinois.
When the friend of the Fraud nlent
President was to be removed from the
Oollectorship at Chicago, there was a
lively contest for the place- Among
other competitors was one from the
Inter-Ocean office, the Stalwart] organ
of Illinois, and, indeed of the North
west Logan had picked out a man of
his own, and the President was amiable
enough to nominate him over the heads
of several candidates who had always
been recognized as among the faithfnl,
and some of whom were docorated
with the badge of the immortal 306.
The Inter Ocean took the defeat of
its favorite much to heart, aud is still
unwilling to be comforted. After be
ing the peculiar champion of Gen.
Logan, that former organ now criti
cises him with the sharp tongue of a
Half Breed censor, and even ascribes
the vice ot selfishness to this renowned
hero, patriot- and disinterested poli
tician.
If the National Convention were to
meet immediatelj, we fear Gen. Logan
might have a harder time in securing
a unit delegation than ho had when,
under the benignant presence of Inter
nal Revenue Commissioner Baum in
the chair to rule out the dissenters
and to gag the complaining, ho suc
ceeded in packing third-termers into
the Convention; though, unfortunate
ly for him, they soon broke away from
their fastenings,
It was at least supposed that the
Stalwart faction would be entirely har
monious and solidified against its rival
and against the Democracy. The
President, however, has a good deal of
soothing balms in store at the White
House for cases of this kind, and no
man knows better than he how to ap
ply it. A Collector cf Customs at
New York, even if he should have been
dismissed ov the envy, malice, and un
charitableness of a Fraudulent Presi
dent and a vindictive Secretary of the
Treasury, got an experience in politics
and iu human nature that must serve
him a good turn in any other place.
Gen. Arthur profited by snch an op
portunity, and what he may not have
acquired by it is hardly worth seeking
after. With an overflowing Treasury,
one hundred thousand offices, and a
patronage based on the handling of six
hundred millions of expenditures and
receipts every year, a way of satisfy
ing discontents will vop be difficult to
find.
Suspicions Symptoms.
Harper’s Magazine.
A minister who was perhaps not too
carefnl in his habits was induced by his
friends to take a teetotal pledge. His
health appeared to suffer, and his doo-
tor ordered him to take one glass of
punch daily.
“Oh!” said he, “I dare not. Peggy,
my old housekeeper, would tell the
whole parish.”
“When do yon shave?” the doctor
asked.
“In the morning,”
“Then,” said the doctor,‘‘shave at
night, and when Peggy brings np your
hot water, yon can take your punch
jnst before going to bed.”
The minister afterward appeared to
improve in health and spirits. The
doctor met Pengy soon pfter and said:
“I am giad to hear, Peggy, that your
master is better.”
“Indeed, sir, he’s better, bnt bis
brain’s affected; there’s something
wrong with his mind,”
“How?”
“Why, doctor, he nsed to shave at
night before going to bed, bnt now be
shaves in the morning, he shaves be
fore dinner, ho shaves after dinner, ho
shaves.at night—he’s always shaving.”
The symptoms were, indeed, very sus
picious.
