Another illustration is found in the famous Kemble family, including Mrs. Hiddons. who could not , . , . l . .i . . . speak the simplest thing except in a dramatic style. Others, less gifted, study long and laboriously for tho stage, but cannot, of course, expect to rise above what is called "stock acting," which is at best a very low attainment. THEATRICAL " STARS." These characters are very rare, and hence command the highest rate of pay. They belong to the order of genius, and hence have a stand from which the stock actor is debarred. "Stars" have a reputation which, like that of great au thors, is a part of fame. Hence such men as Betterton, Garrick, Kemble, Kean, Macready and Petcher, of the British stage, or Cooper, Forrest and Booth, of the American, are beyond the oblivion in which others are lost. All of these men have appeared in "Hamlet," and so far as one may judge from tradi tion, the finest delineations of that char. arter were those of Betterton and Gar rick in England, and our own Booth, who is supposed by some to have sur passed all others. In the role of comedy England has furnished Liston and Matthews, while the American stage has had its Hackett, its Yankee Hill, and just nowcan illustrate "Kip Van Winkle" by the humorous Jefferson. "Stars" are supposed to enter into the spirit of the author and thus give his words the force of a living impersonation. The great au thors would be surprised at the grandeur which a fine impersonation adds to their creations. Shakespeare probably never saw a Jtojclass theatrical performance, "aiwntiHamlet', as rendered at the Globe Theatre, with himself as the Qhost, must have been a very sorry af fair. What would have been his feel ings could he have witnessed "Hamlet" as rendered by Kemble or Booth? "Stars" ought to get rich, for they cer tainly receive enough pay. Forrest's terms formerly were one-half the gross receipts of the house. No wonder he is rich, and no doubt on this point he- is the most successful actor of the ago. He in now old and rheumatic, and will never be able to do justice to his parts again. Indeed, he may say with one of his own. characters, "Othello's occupation's gone." Booth's price, when not in his own the atre, is $500 per night, which is very cheap when one considers how much he makes for his employer. Booth, in Hamlet," will fill any house in Ameri ca at the highest rate of tickets, and his performances are the most profitable this country has ever seen, with the ex ception of the Jenny Lind concerts. STOCK ACTORS. Every season a theatrical manager makes up a "company" whose engage ment is for its entire duration. These engagements are either contracts by means of advertisements by aeents. or bv liONnnol Dnnli'Mnn- U I I jiiuuouuui bwh wvun mo uuur me uoor, wnue me uniortunate of different grades, and some, Placide or bridegroom was still struggling with his Chippendale, get into very good society, accumulating misfortunes about half while others are of a very low position, way round the tent.

The musio sud expenses. A hrst-class dress for a char acter will sometimes cost 300, and sametimes ten times that sum. Stock actors, when favorites with the public, will remain in one service for years. Thus in old times the Bowery had Gates in low comedy for at least fifteen years, and death alone severed the en- fagement At the same time the Park ad Fisher year after year. But the stock actor must maintain his popular ity. If he be hissed once in a decided manner it is fatal. Hence no class de pends so completely on publio opinion as this, for which reason they pay great court to all connected with the press, be cause the preBS rules opinion. Many of our stock actors are married, but do mestic life cannot flourish in connection with theatrical affinities, and hence they are abundant in matrimonial infelici ties. 8TAQE WALKERS are thwe who simply fill up the ranks on tne stage tor appearance sake, and take occasional part in the dialogue. They receive from $10 to $30 per week, and can attend to other business during oQWf.. ;j .m " week, and are required to be expert in that business, as a slight misunder standing would disarrange the ma chinery in a very annoying manner. Among the best paid officials are the ticket clerks. These men are not at iachet of the profession. On the other hand, they are down-town brokers, or bank clerks, and are first-rate judges of currency. There is such an incessant attempt to pass bad money (made by those who are ignorant of the vigilance maintained at these 'posts), that such men are necessary.

I HOW ABOUT GETTING RICH, With the exception of tho "stars" and a few of tho better class of stock actors, members of the histrionic profession are among the worst paid classes in society, and their itinerant habits prevent their one place to another until death brines securing a nome. xney wander from lullr J"riiey to a close. AS playing is very laborious and even exhaustive, many require strong drink, and some, like the elder Booth, never play except iieu uimer us lnuuence. 1'overty and degradation seem to be the inevitable portion of the actor.

Among these were the comedians Gates, Fisher, and Yankee Hill, to which might be added the tra gedian liamblin, who was the star of the iJowery for twenty years. The same rule applies to managers. It was the testimony ot Altred Bunn, of London, whose experience as a manager wns un surpassed, that bankruptcy is the gene ral fate Of this class. This is nrnvnrl hv the fact that both Price and Simpson, of mo iarn j. neatre, wnose successive man agements lasted nearly forty years, died poor, while Hamblin, of the Bowery, and Mitchell, of the Olympic, came to the same end. The most successful was William E. Burton, whose fortune was largely devoured by litigation among ms heirs. I have otten wondered whether the performers of the old Greek drama, the fellows who spouted tho cre ations of Eschylus and Sophocles, were such a poverty-stricken set. Chookclicc Marriage Ceremony. Mr. Kennan, who was one of the sur veying party far the Russo-American or Western Union Telegraph Company, and who in that character visited Kam schatka, gives the following account of a marriage ceremony among tho Chook chees : At a given signal from the native who had let out the couple, the bride darted suddenly into the first polog, and began a rapid flight around the tent, raising the curtains between the pologs success ively, and passing under. The bride groom instantly followed in hot pur suit ; but the women who were stationed in each compartment threw every possi ble impediment in his way, tripping up his unwary feet, holding down the cur tains to prevent his passage, and apply ing the willow and alder switches un mercifully to a very susceptible part of his body as he stooped to raise them. The air was filled with drum-beats, shouts of encouragement and derision, and the sound of the heavy blows which were administered to the unlucky bride groom by each successive detachment of women as he ran the gauntlet. It be came evident at once that despite his most violent efforts he would fail to overtake the flying Atalanta before she completed the circuit of the tent. Even the golden apples of Hesperides would have availed him little against such dis heartening odds ; but with undismayed Eerseverance he pressed on, stumbling eadlong over the outstretched feet ot his female persecutors, and getting con stantly entangled in the ample folds of the reindeer-skin curtains, which were thrown with the skill of a matador over bis head and eves. In a mnmenf tha bride had entered the lant. rlnaprl ln iL. J 1 -1 ., ,. . 1 P denly ceased, and the throng began to stream out of the tent. The ceremony was evidently over. Turning to Mero neff, who with a delighted grin had watched its progress, we inquired what it all meant. "Were they married 'f" "Da's," was the affirmative reply. "But," we objected, "he didn't catch her." " She waited for him, your honor, in the last polog, and if he caught her there, it was enough." "Suppose he had not caught her there, then what i" " Then," answered the Cossack, with an expressive shrug of commiseration, " the Caulnals (poor fellow) would have had to work two more years." Kowland Hill was in the habit of tak ing nearly everything he saw or heard into the pulpit, and using it in his ser mons. When preaching on the govern ment of the temper, he said : " I once took tea with an old lady, who was very particular about her chi na.

" And so it turned out. The old ladv's temper was corked up for a season, but it came out with a terrible vengeance when the company retired."

Th world usually accords the merit of ability to those who achieve success in any field of effort, and it is right Success it the evidence of ability abili ty to succeed nothing more. Heal mental caliber is not evidenced by buo- cess, unless mat success is attained in some occupation or profession which re. quires great montal ability for its con duct. A man may succeed in wearing a very small pair of boots, if his understanding is sufficiently narrow j and men succeed as otten through deficiencies as through profloioncies. A man sits daily in front of the Tribune office in this city who makes a living by whittling with his feet. This man has no arm, and 1m a U long practice acquired the nower in hold a piece of wood with the toes of one loot, while he whittles with a knife held in the toes of the other font. Tt i quite aoubttul, judging from the ap pearance of this individual, whether, nau ne been endowed with arms, he would have achieved eit her the notoriety ud nuw eujuys, or nave made half the money ne now pockets from the wonder loving groups who gather about bim Such success as he has attained has been won through virtue of his dnfleieneipq we recollect reading some vears airo an kwuiii vi a wonaenui aancer whose chief attraction was that he had but one leg. With this leg he did what single legs had been deemed incapable of do ing, and though his dancing fell short oi a nrsi-ciass two-legged performance, yet it was really wonderful for one leg, and bo one leg drew houses where proba bly two would have failed to tiWsa f Via public. As with physical defects so with men tal, l he piano playing of tho blind ne gro idiot CO " Tom," whose performance is certainly wonderful for a blind idiot, would lose a great portion of its r.hnrm if he were once understood to be in full possession of the intellect allotted to or dinary mortals. He succeeds in making a great impression because he has, or is supposed to have, two great defects. It often is the case, on the other hand, that men fail because they have minds too large for their business. These minds will be, must le, occupied with higher things that the trivial details of business, and the petty cares, to neerlect which is to insure failure in most com monplace vocations. Success, then, unless measured by the character of the field in which it is achieved, is no measure of mental or physical power. Is a man successful? In what is he successful ? Is he a suc cessful dandy like Beau Brummelj a successful knave like a modern railroad grabber well known in this metropolis ; a successful dry-goods clerk ; or a suc cessful lawyer and statesman, like Clay and Webster; a successful divine, like Whately; or a successful teacher, like Arnold ? Success is, it is true, a measure of abil ity, but of great ability only when it is itself tested by the higher measure of lofty aims, wise purposes, and good deeds. Siicntific American. Confederated G'eiiuniiy. King Frederick William has accented the title of Kaiser Deutschlands, or Em peror of Germany. The late Constitu tion of North Germany, now accepted m Buusiance oy tne eoutn Uerman States for the new " Confederated Ger many," was drawn up in 180", and adopted by a popular parliament elected by universal suffrage. Bv a census taken in that year, the area and popu lation of the whole North German Con federation were as follows : Kn-riish Hijuaro uiilt'H. . ..1S5.S0U npulatiim.

Its area is thus more than four-fifths of that of the State of Texas, and its popula tion a little greater than that of the whole United States. Hapid Telegraphing. There was great rivalry betwttu the Western Union and the other telegraph companies having lines between New York and Washington, D. C, as to which should transmit most rapidly the annual message of the President, delivered to the Senate and House of representa tives on December 5th. The message contained about 0,000 words, and was transmitted over 10 wires by the West ern Union Company, dropping copies at Baltimore and Philadelphia in 3 min utes, or at the average rate of 25 words per minute on each wire. The entire message was transmitted by the Bankers and Brokers' and Frank lin Companies in 70 minutes, employing two wires each. This was at the rate of 33 words per minute. The Franklin Company used two wires until the message was completed, and a third wire for 15 minutes, the av erage time being 70 minutes, and the average speed 28 words per minute. The Bankers and Brokers' Company used two wires, the average time being 70 minutes, and the average speed 35 words per minute. One of these wires averaged 39 words per minute Mr. Benjamin Johnson sending and Mr. I. S. Fitch receiving. The result in the strike in January last drove from the Western Union to the opposition companies, greatly to the advantage of the latter, some of the best operators formerly employed b'y the former. The operators of the B. &,, B., and Franklin lines may justly feel proud of this achievement and their substantial demonstration of superiority. The Tcle ffrapltrr. Keep Out of Debt. The Kansas Fanner, with its usual positivenesr, urges its readers to keep out of debt. It says that in a new country, where merchants many times give unlimited credit to the settlers, no matter whether their crops are good or otherwise, they continue their careless and somewhat reckless ex penditure, until confronted by a store bill that they know they cannot pay. They grow dispirited, and sometimes dissipated, and, losing heart, lose indus try, and in not a few cases lose their farms; whereas, if they had been obliged to adopt the " pay-as-you-go " principle, they would have succeeded. FARM AND nOUSEIIOLD. SuocnssFrt Beet-Scoaii CtrtTrni:. We have always believed in beet-sugar iunuuiHciure in our country, especially in the West, and that the time would come when it would be demonstrated that it was in many respects, for tho farmer and the tradesman, a most vain able industry. We have waited for tho confirmation of these views with " hope deterred. Hut it has come at last, and from Cbatsworth, which, with all its early promise and advantages, had made sued untruitiul returns. The causes of this disappointment have been, chiefly, a bad location and foreign management. Constant culti vation has removed many of the disad vantages of the soil, while the appoint ment of a good Western farmer as head of theNenterpriRe has substituted prac tical common sense for theory. The re sult is, that this season there has been a saving in the field work, or the cultiva tion of the crop of beets, of nearly thirty per cent., over the result of the best German er French culture; the beets being put into the pit at $2.70 tho ton, as against $4, tho lowest price at the European factories. This has been accomplished by the use of machine in place of hand labor, under the super vision and inventive genius of Mr. Jona than Periara, the superintendent. This gentleman has other plans in process of completion that will reduce the expenses of this part of the industry perhaps twenty per cent. more. Then, as to the product of the factory. The first yield of sugar has been placed upon tho Chi cago market, without brand, that it might thus secure an impartial test. It was pronounced by the best experts of the city A 1 New York sugar, and readily brought the price of that article. It is our conviction, however, that tor complete success elsewhere in this indus try there must bo hearty co-operation among the farmers of the country adio- cent to the sugar-mill. We believe the great success ot the European mills is largely due to a recognition of this fact. No other crop has, in its cultivation. such enriching and preservative quali ties; and this truth has induced the small farmers of Europe to aid in all ways the development of beet culture. A conviction of this has led the farmers of Sauk county, Wisconsin, and Ingham county, Michigan, lor the past two sea sons, to plant the sugar beet, with a view of testing the soil, climate, and other conditions. A specimen of the beets from Michigan has been shown us, which polarized, gives better promise than those of any other location excepting the Alvardo Valley yield of California. Chatsworth, against every obstacle, has won success. Farmers of the West, in locations where you have every ad vantage of climate, soil, water, etc., im prove the example and opportunity thus offered, and soon, of the seventy-five millions of gold now flowing out of the country per annum for sugar, wo shall save at least one-half for the develop ment of our home industries. .V. I'. Tribune. Uses or Aitj.es. The apple crop throughout the Union will probably ex ceed that of any previous year since the culture of fruit assumed its present im portance, and became so widely known, Not unfrequently certain sections are en tirely without apples, even if peaches and pears are resonably abundant ; but this year the crop is general in its dis tribution, and must be very large in its aggregate. hat can be done with them r.arlv fall apples can be gathered and mado into cider. JNine bushels will make a barrel, and that barrel turned to vinegar ought to bring its owner, within a twelve month after it is ready for sale, at least 50 cents a gallon. Good cider-vinegar has been worth GO cents, and may reach that figure again before another apple year, home ot the miserable compounds that people call vinegar, and which are bought and sold for such, cost less in cash, but are far more expensive to who soever is beguiled into using them. Another appropriation if your cellar is not good for making vinegar, or your neighborhood lacks barrels which can be nought at a reasonable price is. to feed them to the hogs. Our practice has been to boil them with potatoes, in the proportion of one bushel of fruit to two of vegetable, and the stew was not only palatable, but we believe the apples pos sessed an artual value not far from 20 cents a bushel. As to winter apples, they should all be gathered, and with more care than would be bestowed on a crop which was small, and, of course, sure of ready sale. When there is scarc ity, anything will sell ; when the supply is abundant, tho best always finds the readiest market, and the poorest fre quently none. Besides, good apples, well gathered and well preserved, cannot fail of finding a remunerative sale some time before the next season, if not this fall or winter. There cannot be an overstock next June, and if care in gathering and preserving will give to the fruit-grower a sure market, then the bestowal of both is alike the dictate of prudence and economy. Hearth and Home. Old Maids. , Funny Fern writes about the old maid of the period. It is all a mistake in the date, Fanny. There are no old maids in the year of our Lord eighteen hun dred and seventy. According to the re cent census, no married women were found over twenty-six ; none single over twenty. Tho years have drifted glori ously up the river of time, and we have found, where our foremothers have over looked it, the fountain of perpetual youth, the elixir of life. There are no old women any more. There used to be a silver-haired grandmother sitting on the cosy side of the hearthstone with a smile on her face like a ray of glory slanting out from the beautiful land. We can almost hear the click of her knitting-needles now as we think of the days of our childhood. But the good old grandmother is gone. In her place is a young woman, whose sunken cheeks have been renewed with the wonderful touches of art, the color of her face is as fresh as a maiden, the placid brow is covered with youthful frizzes, the sil very locks that call for our reverence are concealed by luxuriant tresses of tow, such as the old-fashioned grandmother used to spin and weave. Old maids, maiden aunts belonging to the neigh borhood to be generally useful, are ex tinct. Iu their stead are vivacious, sprightly, piquant girls, whose cosmo politan ease of manner in any and every circumstance would cause the old maid of the ancient time to look askance at them and gather up her unruflled robes in fear,. The wheels of the chariot of time are blocked, and perpetual youth sits beside the old scythe-bearer. No more old maids. The girls be blessed forever ! KlioTCiuff Ibo Dead. Thero is a curious custom in ttarnnn of laying out bodies in stato during the night before burial. They are placed close to an open window fronting the street, on a couch rnied four or five feet from the ground. The corpse is sur rounded by high wax tapers, and the wholo room illuminated. Frequently when returning from a terlitlia, or a ball, I have been startled to seo the fixed and rigid features of somo old gentleman or lady, dressed in their best attire, and apparently reclining before the window. It used to appear an unnecessary mock ery ot death, dressingfcint a corpse in a new suit of clothes, with tight patent leather boots, and white neckcloth. I remember one night in particular. I was returning home through one of the by-streets, when, seeing t lie lower win dows of a house illuminated, ahd con cluding that thore was a body lying in state, I went towards it. There, close to the window, so close that I could have touched it through the bars, lay tho body of a young girl about fifteen years of age. Sim was dressed as for a ball, with flowers in her hair, and white satin shoes on her feet ; her hands crossed on her breast, her eyes closed, and her mouth slightly opened ; and altogether her face and expression was one of the most beautiful I ever saw.
