NEW YORK, Nov. 261b, 1875:
now acrons LIvE AND DIE.
There are, of the young men and women
who read your paper, at least a thousand
who have been and are crazy to get on the
stage. They have heard of the wondrous
costumes the actresses wear, and of the
gorgeous salaries they all draw, .and they
suppose that the life of a player IS_ one “11'
ending round of pleasure. The few who
_ do “get on the stage” find out the difference
j between fancy and fact in a very short
time.
, it is the hardest, meanest, most uncertain
and wretchedly paid business in the world.
Not one actor in a thousand makes more
than the increst subsistence, at his best,with
the certaintty staring him in the face that at
the end—when he can not no more—of
dying in an aimshouse, or subsisting on the
charity of younger ones, who are almost as
poor as himself: There are those of course
who make immense salaries. Edwin Booth,
for instance, never plays for less than $500 a
night, and Sothern, Charlotte Cushman,aud
a dozen others command quite as much.
But you can number this class on the fingers
of your two hands. These are the excep»
lion, just as Stewart and Claflin are among
merchants. The highest salary paid regu-
iar stock actors in New York, is $100 per
week for a season of nine months. Out of
this 'sum the actor has to furnish his ward-
robe, which, if the pieces change frequently,
makes a terrible hole in it. Then he lies
idle three months in the year, and what is
worse for his pocket, the very nature of his
employment makes frequent expenditure
almost unavoidable. The most prudent end
the year with nothing—nine-tenths of them
are always in debt. And there is always
ahead of them two ghosts—sickness and
lack of engagements. Out of employment
in his profession, there is nothing under
heaven for him to do, and sickness means
starvation. Anoted English actor named
Beimore—a man who stood first in eccentric
comedy in that country, and who was the
of of the “nobility and gentry ;" George
elmore, who kept all England laughing
for years—~died last week in a poor boarding
house on Fourth avenue. dependent at the
last on the charity of his fellow actors for
the gruef he ate and the medicines he took.
Not a dollar in the world, and a wife and
SiCVCl'I children dependent upon him in Lon-
t on .
Who has not. heard of Fox, the panic
mimist? Who has not laughed at his
wonderful antics, his merry quips and
mrks, and his endless flow of fun. Poor
‘ox i Paralysis struck him at forty-two,and
he goes, with never a dollar to leave his
family. One side of his face is paralyzed,
his brain is softening—hard work did it—
and he goes out a mere nothing. Another
pantomimist stands ready to take his place
-—the play goes on—enter Maflit, exit Fox.
And some day out Mafiit will go and anoth-
er will take his place.
Young man or young woman, as the case
may be, if you have any aspirations for the
stage, crush them out at once. The life is
one in which there are ten thousand blanks
to one prize, and of the prizes there is not
pne in a thousand that is worth having. It
is an ugly, unSatisfactory, miserable life at
the best, and a horrible life for any one who
cannot get above decent mediocrity. Be a
shoemaker, a tailor, a farmer, a blacksmith,
.or the wife of one, but never be an actor or
actress. Take the advice of one who knows,
‘and don’t.
And while I am about it I may as well
say something about another class who are
popularly supposed to roll in purple and
fine linen, but who don’t, namely,
THE LITERARY PEOPLE.
_ As is the ease with the theatrical profes-
Sion, it is generally supposed that the wri-
ters get enormous pay, and the mistake is
Just as great. Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes,
Bret Harte and a few others get large sums
for what they pioduce, but they make but
little money for they produce but little.

The First Loop
molI-vc and Il’ztnseilgel"
. , (RIP.
'Sa‘ErnENsox had been called :1 lunatic
when he said IliS' locomotive could. run
twelve miles- an hour. 0110 very distin-
guished officer of the English Government.
whose duty it was to see that the mails
werecarried as rapidly as possible, laughed
at the idea, and said that “ if ever a loco-
motive ran ten miles an hour with a mail-
bag behind it, he would C‘lt a stewed engine-
wheel for his breakfast.”
There was some ~liltieexcusc for this
(lisbeliefi’for the first locomotive was a very
clum'sy‘ machine. It was called the “ Loco
motion.” Stephenson, when he built it,
was the only man besides his son Robert
w'ho'belicvcd it would go at all ; and some
of the learned members of the English Pat'-
liamcnt declared that it could not run
against a strong wind! It was a small
clumsy affair, weighing not more than onc-
fifth as much as an engine of the present
time. , g ,
The first-imprbveinent on it—tlie “ lieck-
et"-—was even more ridiculous in appear-
ance;but it was found to be faster and
stronger. Before it was accepted by the
railroad company, it wasput in a race with
three other enginesnuanufactured by other
engineers; and of-llnijudges and thousands
of persons who witnessed the race," nine-
tenths were against the ‘ Rocket,’ because of
appearance.” But Stephenson received the
prize over the other competitors, one of
whom was Captain John Ericson. His loco-
motive couldn'un fifteen miles an hour, and
once actually drew thirteen tons at a speed
of twenty-nine miles an hour. That per-
forinaneedccided the fate of locomotives,
and engineers at once went to work to ini-
prove the new motive power. ,
The first railroad passenger-car was
simply an old box on wheels, with seats
running along the sides, a door at the rear
end, and a seat in front for the driver, like
the box of an omnibus. It was called
by Stephenson, who invented it, the “Ex-
periment,” because it was -not generally
believed that people would travel on the
railway. In 1825, about the time the flrsr
line was finished, one of the principal pa-
pers of England said that nothing could be
“ more ridiculous titan the prospect of loco-
motives traveling twice as fast as stage-
coaches l” And it added that people would
as soon “ suffer themselves to be fired off
upon one of Congrevc‘s rockets as trust
themselves to the mercy of such a machine
going at such a rate.” Stephenson,how-
evensfiriu .in his belief that passengers
would travel by rail, declared that the time
would come, and he hoped to live to see it,
when it would be cheaper for a poor man to
ride than walk. This prophecy threatens
to be more than fulfilled in a few years. It
is proposed in England to send passengers
by rail at ordinary English letter-rates, and
under a system of tickets like postage-
stamps—a six-cent stamp entitling the bei-
der to go by any route to any part of Great
Britain. But George Stephenson was not
believed then. and the people continued to
call him “ Daft Geordy," which means
“ Crazy George.” It was not long after the
Stockton and Dariington road was opened
that more passenger-cars were needed. The
first improvement on the “Experiment”
was a double car, made out of two
“ mourning-coaches.” This car was lighted
at night by a single (Handler-Sf. Nicholas

Cotton Manufacture
Statcsé
The number of cotton factories in the
United States in 1810 was reported to be
241, and the number of spindles estimated
at 96,400, an average of 400 for each mill.
the United
Congress, in 1815, $40,000,000 was then in-
vested in cotton manufactures, and 100 000
persons were employed ; 27,000,000 pounds
ofcottcn were consumed, producing 81,000,-
000 yards of cloth, valued at $24,300,000.
In Rhode Island, Massacusetts, and Con-
necticut were 165 mills, with 119,310 spin-
dies; and it has been estimated that the
total number of spindles at that time was
350,000. Power-looms soon afterwa'd com-
ing into general use, the number of spindles
increased to 1,500,000 in 1880, and 1,750,000
in 1835. Complete and trustworthy statis-
tics of‘cotton manufacturers seem to have
been firstreported by the census of 1840.
There were then in the United States 1,240
mills, with 2,284,631 spindles, and 129
dyeing‘and printing establishments. These
establishments employed 72.119 hands, and
produced goods valued at $46,350,430. The
amount of capital invested was $51,102,359.
The leading cotton manufacturing States
were Massachusetts, having 278 mills with,
g65,005 spindles; Rhode Island, 209 mills,
York, Boston and Philadelphia, and if; is
worse than a dog’s life. The usual pay for
common writers for stories, newspaper arti-
cles and matter of this class, is from$4 to $8
a column for such paper as the Times. The
writer,work as he or she may, cannot exceed
four columns a week, for a large part of the
time is consumed in getting up the material
for the work. And then, after it has been
sent in, it is an even chance that it will he
declined, or if accepted, that it will be cut
down to a column by the managing editor,
so that the two columns which the writer
wrote, and for which $10 was expectcduvill
net the scribe only $8. A good story, if it
is good enough, of say six columns in
length, is worth, to the publisher, $25. The
writer will spend on the production of such
a story, a week or two, or even more. Of
course, when they get up in the world, and
get so well known that their names will
bring additional subscribers to a publication,
they get higher prices, but this is what the
few who get employment at all are compell-
ed to submit to. And let it be remembered
that of every thousand who submit manu-
scripts, not ten get a line accepted. There
are to-day in New York alone,two thousand
men and women besieging editors with pro-
ductions in prose and verse, who never had
a line published and never will. And the
few who get work to do starve at it, for the
reasonthat there a thousand, all equally
good, trying for the place of tea. I advise
your young readers to avoid the stage, and
advise them with equal fervency to avoid
literature, that is, as r. means of living.
Write all you choose—it is a delightful and
improving recreation, but don't try to live
by it. If you get your matter published
and get a $10 check for it,thank Heaven,and
spend it on a new hat, but don’t depend on
it as a means oflivelihood. That way star-
vation lies. It is taking ten chances in a
hundred of sleeping in a garret, eating at
cheap restaurants, and dodging tailors and
di-fslsE‘makei-s during the term of your natu-
ra i e.

has formulated the results of his observa-
tions for New England, as follows:
1. As.a rule, if the wind touches north-
east or east for two or three days, it is a
sure indication of rain.
2. Dense smoke and haze in early morn-
ing portend falling weather.
3. Summer showers of light character
often follow two or three days of smoke or
haze.
4. Fog, frost and dcw precede rain 24 to
48 hours, except fog at close of storm.
5. Wind veering from north or west to
south and southeast, precedes falling weath.
6. Halos, lunar and solar, also fairly de-
fined and brilliant auroras, precede rain, 24
to 60 hours.
7. Barometer rising or falling considera-
bly away from its means forebodes falling
weather, subject to modify influences of the
neighboring ranges of mountains and hills.
8. Precipitation generally follows a rapid
influx or efllux of atmosphere.
9. If wind is in southwest and rain sets
in, the rain is of short duration and light
yield. '

PHILADELPHIA AND THE CENTENNIAL.—
" The impression,” says the Rail-road Ga-
sells “ which~a stranger gets in Philadelphia
at the present time is, that the whole city is
a mere adjunct to the centennial—that the
latter is a real and abiding thing, and all
the rest ephemeral and transitory; just as
Saratoga and its people exist only because
of the springs there. Everything in Phila-
deiphia is named Centennial, from a cock-
tail to a locomotive; everybody talks cen-
tennial, and the shop windows bloom with
pictures of the buildings, and life at present
seems hardly worth possession to the aver-
age Philadelphian were it not for the antic-
common thing in the world for an improve-
ment to he ordered that costs so much as to
compel the owner to put a mortgage on the
property to pay if. N inc-tenths of these
Improvements are unnecessary, andiniue-
tenths of the cost goes into the pockets of
the rings who run the politics of the city. I
have one friend who has a lot fifteen feet
wide, on an up-town street, who was com-
pelled. to pay $750 for r'e-p'aving the street.
The opposite fifteen feet was taxed the same,
making $1,500 for paving fifteen feet of a
street. The actual cost of the work, was
probably $250,1eaving the handsome bal-
ance of $1,250 to be divided among the
thieves. And as these parties had the whole
Itreet, you can see that they made a very
nice thing of it. And the worst part of it,
is that the street did not need re-paving,and
that the old one was better than the new
one. This 15 only one waf, IL which taxes
are piled up—there are as many ways of
swindling, as there are hairs on the swind-
ler’s heads. Probably it will be some better
hereafter, for the last election disturbed the
rings somewhat, but at the best there will
be enough of it. The ignorant and vicious
vote of the city is so large, that seeundreliy
politicians have but little dimculty 'in get-
ting the power to put their hands in the
pockets of the people.

For restoring to Gray Hair Its
natural Vitality and Color.
’ ’ J A dressing
which is at
once agreeable,
healthy, and
effectual for
preserving the
hair. It soon
restores faded
or gray hair
to its original
» . color, with. the
loss and freshness of youth. ' Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
- and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-A
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can :be,
lated into activity, .so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with-jaspasty sedi«
merit, it will keep it clearing ' vigorous;
Its occasional use will pret‘bnii the hair
from turning. gray or falling .off, and
consequently prevent baldness.- The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
seal arrests and prevents .thc forma:
tio "of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleaiily aiid’off‘ciisive. Free from. those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju—
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
merely for n. HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil per dye, it; does
not sell white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the'liair, giving it; a. rich, glossy
lustre ind a. grateful perfume. ‘

VALUE‘oE TREES IN Towns—Mr. Grif-
fiths, the‘medieal officer of health for Shef-
field, in his report upon the safitary condi-
tion of that town during 1874, makes the
following remarks in reference to street
trees:—“Iu the formation of new streets,
and onthe eve of the contemplated widen-
ing and'alteration of old ones. it is to be
hoped that an effort may be made to pro-
vide for the planting and establishment of
trees wherever practicable. The pleasing
appearance of verdure in summer, and the
agreeableness of the shade afforded by the
foliage to pedestrians, are benefits to the
inhabitants well worth the effort and the
cost. Whoever has visited the boulevards
of continental towns, or even the squares of
London, can testify to the advantages of
verdure as offering pleasure to the eye and
gratification to the mind. Moreover, from
a sanitary point of view, the benefits are of
incalculable value. It has been asserted
that the aggregate surfaces of the leaves of
well-grown elm,limc and sycamore trees,
with their six or seven million leaves, equal
about 200,000 square feet, or about five
- acres; and these are almost constantly ab-
lsorbing and digesting the carbonic‘acid and
various exhalation given off by the putrefi-
cation of animal and vegetable matter, and,
as if grateful for such support, return it to
the air pure oxygen, which reinvigorates
and renews animal life. Trees thus remove
poisontfrom'iiur midst, and to be without
them is an oversight. Trees can be had
which will exist with'sui’tiiiile attention, in
any part of the city.”

A STORY THAT READS LIKE A NOVEL”. A
paper in Portand, Me, has a singular story
in regard to a family named Rodman. The
family consisted of husband, (John,) wife,
and two children—Charles and Mary.
They were burned out at the. time of the
fire in Portland in 1866, after which they
removed to Harlem, N. Y. Soon after
going there Mr. Rodman had a chance logo
to Valparaiso. . He left his family ,with .his
brother when he started, and for some time
he sentmoney to them,but at last letters
ceased to come, and the brother having
dicd,Mrs. Rodman and her two children
returned to Portland, and supported them
with her needle. Some time about 1871
Charlie went ,to sea, and the vessel was lost,
and it was supposed he could never be
heard from. Sometime ago Mrs. Rodman
saw an advertisement in the New York pa-
pers stating that if Mrs. Elizabeth Rodman,
wife of John Rodman, of Portland, Me.,
would address certain New York lawyers
she could hear of something to her advan-
tage. She at once started for New York
with her daughter and learned that her
husband had become very wealthy and was
- soon to arrive in New Orleans. He had
not received a letter»: from her foralong
time before he ceased towrite, and suppos-
ed she was dead, but inserted the adver-
tisement to see what he could hear. The
mother and daughter started for New
Orleans, where they arrived a few days be-
fore the vessel which was to bring the
absent husband and father. One day while
on the street they were insulted. by a young
man who was promptly knocked dovvp by
a young sailor, whoa-proved to be ‘none
other than Charlie Rodnian, who had- been
saved from the vessel which was lost. On
the arrival of}.Mi._Rodman<1he family was
