Lessons For Theatrical Novices.

Amateurs cannot rehearse too often; the
oftener they repeat and act their parts the
less nervous they will be atthe performance,
and the less liable they will be to put each
other out; private thcatricals are.frequently
made ntolcrablc by imperfectly learned
words. If speech or part of "a speech is
forgotten there is either an awkward
pause, or the next speaker will go on with
his part regardless of the nonsense it will
make, then having discovered that he has
made mistake, the unIuCky actor is con-
fused and nervous, and makes many more
mistakes. The same thing is true as to the
entrances, exits, and positions on the
stage; unless they have been rehearsed SC
often that there cannot possibly be an er,
ror, disastrous consequences my ensue. II
the actor says, "Here she comes" look
ing at the door where she does not come,
the audience will naturally smile, al
though the author hopes for tears; and
when heated and hurried after long
wait, the lady appears at an opposite en-
trance, the smile grows into laugh. II
is impossible to insist upon special mode
of learning words. Every one has diff
ierent way Of learning by heart; but it is
well 10 make strict rule to forbid the use
oil hooks after the first rehearsal ,and it is
better to trust to the prompter than to
hold book constantly in your hand, for
the position of the body, and the express
sion of the face are both lost if the book is
held, But it is also not wise to trust to
the excitement on the night Of the
first performance as a stimulus to acting;
for il it does so effect one performer as "a
suggest happy thoughts and new atti.
tudes, the other actors will be thrown oui
of gear by these novelties. 1t is, there
fore, desirable at all rehearsals to act as
well as possible, and to make the last re-
hersals run as smoothly as if they were
played to an audience.

What is Done with the Golda

From the Chicago Express.
The Chicago Tribune of Saturday dis
cussed, in an interesting article, the ques-
ton Of what becomes OF the gold. 1t says
that the sub-treasury in Chicago has re-
ceived S3,0S9,00O In gold since the lst of
January, 1879, and that in the same time
it has paid out So, 100000. Upon inquiry
at the banks it discovers that they have
small sums Of gold, and that they receive
very little on deposit. Inquiry among
business men develops the TACT that the
gold has gone into the hands Of the peo-
pie and not into circulation. 1t is hoarJed
The novelty and attractiveness of the new
gold coins accounts in part for the dispo-
sition OF the people to hoard 1t, but the
fact that gold coin is known to be possess
ed of more value, as metal, than silver,
and the other TACT that gold has let6 us
often before, and will surely go out Of cir
culation again, because Of It's greater
value than other forms of money, explain
more fully the disposition of the people to
hoard it. ..
Their instincts in the matter are correct.
The tide OF gold has been toward this
country, but this tide is likely to turn.
A bad crop in America and good crop
In Europe, or further development of
the present growing demand for goods
from abroad, Or the steady increase OF the
silver in the treasury-One, or all of
these causes, are sure, in the end, TO send
gold abroad and put it out of circulation.
/ he people are wise to hoard it.

Ptof. Thomas +. Harrison, First Assist
mt $ !perlntcndent OF Schools in this city,
addressed the Male Teachers Association,
yesterday, in Grammar School No. 26,
his subject being "School Work" Frof.
w. Ii. Van Cott. Jr., President of the AS
sociation, introduced the speaker. After
II somewhat extended reference to the
various teachers associations which have
existed in this city and elsewhere, Prof.
Harrison took up the subject OF personal
Improvement, and urged that IL teacher
ought never to 20 to bed without reading
something that would tend to improve
tae mind. In his own experience he had
found it well to have three kinds Of read
ing on hand at the same tlme-first, a
sOlid book for the chiefreading, something
that requires little mental force to grasp
so as to develop mental growth. For
lighter reading he recommended history
and travels, and for the third kind such
standard novels, dramas, or poems as
suited ones fancy. There was also a
fourth kind of reading which the speaker
had often found source OF delight when
too weary to enjoy even Dickens or rhack-
cray, and that was an Unabridged Die
tlonary. In all seriousness, if one
would take up the Dictionary to
read, he would soon find it both
interesting and profitable Prof, Harri.
son next spoke in favor of educational
journals, and urged his listeners to read
them as matter of professional improve
ment, and to keep up with the times. 1t
was the duty of every teacher, he contend
cd, TO subscribe for at least one school
journal. A large part of the address was
devoted TO telling what the association
should discuss at its meetings, and Incl.
dcntally Prof. Harrison advocated various
reforms in the methods of teaching read.
ing, spelling, penmanship, arithmetic, ETC.
A necessity for teachers was the study ol
physiology, SO that they might know
something OF the little frames Of the pu,
pills. Art galleries, museums, and parks
should all be utilized in giving scholars q
commoh sense knowledge OF zoology
botany, natural history, etc. The last
point which Prof. Harrison impressed up
on the teachers was the necessity of In
stilling the principles Of true patriotism
into the minds of their scholars. A vote
of thanks was rendered to Prof. Harrison
one Of the lady teachers played piano
SOLO, and the meeting adjourned.

Courtship In the Transvaal.

Whenever the son OF Boer goes a
counting, he proceeds in the following
somewhat singular manner; He attires
himself in his gayest apparel, puts his
best pipe in his mouth without his pipe
the Boer is neitherhere nor there, mounts
the most spirited horse he can lay his
hands on to make a chiyalrous impression
on the object of his affection, and finally
provides himself with some present to win
the heart Of the fair one. After having
shaken hands with all the family, he
takes seat and tries to appear quite at
his ease, but only succeeds in looking
rather foolish. At last, after the solemn
silence, which on ones paying visit to a
Boer always precedes conversation, he IN
ent. The aunt replies: "Why, what
shall say, nephew? Thank God, think
we are all middling." The uncle is ever
OF the opinion that it is all uphill work
with him. The rest Of the family merely
say: "Ihank you cousin;" and the
young lady whom all this stir is about
preserves most stubborn silence. Mean.
while the present, generally consisting of
dress or some article Of wearing apparel,
is produced, and with some short speech,
the last words of which are but family
heard, handed by the bashful and awk-
ward Sutor to the lady, after which he
feels more at ease. The future father-in-
law, fully conscious of his greater
wisdom and moral superiority over the
beardless sultor, avails himself Of the
awkward pause which ensues to over.
whelm him with incoherent speculations
on tine present government.
After short interval the young lady
appears in the robe that has been pre-
sented to her, which her suitor looks on
as q token OF encouragement. On the
table is placed a candle, which plays no
mean part IN the negotiations about to
begin. Till this candle has burnt out no
decisive answer can be given, for while it
is burning an opportunity is afforded to
the young man to open his heart to the
young lady, and acquaint her with his
prospects; say 1000 acres of land, twenty |
oxen, hundred sheep, robust constitu- |
ton, mother who bids fair to be n bless |
ing to her daughrer-in-law, u good house |
of his own, etc. Sometimes the young
lady brings a very short bit flor The can
die always appears with herr, and then
the scene is rather distressing, as it may
be sign that she is either in a hurry to |
reject his suit, or eager to accept it. In |
the same way, long candle denotes hesi- |
tation. 1t also happens, | am told, that
in the course of conversation the girl
slyly cuts off a bit Of the candle; or, max
ing light of all tedious tormalities, sud- |
denly snutfs out "the lingering taper"
and replies to the suit OF the anxious
youth by throwing her arms about his
neck, Elaking him happy man for ever

A California Gold Story.

From the Sonora, CAL, independent.
The most singular manner Of being
struck with fortune in prospecting, that
we ever heard of, occurred, above Spring
Gulch, recently. Mr., Snow, late Of
San Francisco, now prospec ting in this
vicinity Tor other parties, was out on a
quartz hunt with DIR. Drake, of San
Francisco. They were returning home,
being stormy, when Snow, (who was
riding horse belonging to John Neal,
of the Spring Gulch Mine,) along the
trail, was suddenly missed by his com.
panion. Shows horse had slipped off the
bluff, and down he went at an angle of 45
degrees, horse, rider, and rifle, (which he
gripped firmly in his hand,) rolling over
and over in the snow, until he brought up
against mass OF stone standing up out
OF the snow, its top covered with moss.
He was not hurt, as tae cold, soft cushion
had saved his bones from the hard ground
beneath. Scrambling up against the
rock, he noticed that it was q quartz lode,
and that where the horse had accidently
kicked off the moss something ghttcred.
HIS eyes "buggcd" out, but he did not
stop to brush them off, his hands were too
busy clawing off the moss. Darkness com.
ing on, he had only time to break off q
few specimens, which are filed with pure
ore. One small piece, exhibited in town,
was estimated to be three-quarters gold,
Tons OF it are, apparently, awaiting its
owners. Snow says the vein is about
thirty feet thick, and In his impulsive
generosity he gave away several shares Of
his vein soon after. He told us that he
"would not look ut $4,000 for his in.
terest," 1t is, without doubt, the richest
mass OF quartz ever discovered in this
county, except the Divoll bonanza, opened
here in Sonora. OF course, he told US to
keep it out of the paper; but that caution
we find to be getting monotonous. Mr.
Snow is very well known in San Francisco
as an actor Of merit, and gentleman
well deserving the good fortune he has
"tumbled to-" Some men are born rich
others haye riches thrust upon them, but
Mr.. Snow has drifted, through air and snow
right slap up against pile Of richness thai
would make Rothschild's keen eyes turn
green with envy.

From the Lendvie Herald.
A gentleman, who has during the past
two years trayersed the mountains in the
vicinity of Leadville, and penetrated
almost every one of the secret recssscs, in
formed Herald reporter yesterday that
there is within twenty-five miles of this
city one of the most interesting curiosites
of nature-a veritable glacier, presenting
all the characteristics of the glaciers Of
Switzerland, both in magnitude and mo-
ton, its progress being gradually down
the gulch. The scene of the curiosity is
located in the Mosquito lange, about tif-
teen miles north Of the pass. Our inform
ant states that he first discovered it about
three years ago, while ont on a prospect
lug tour. 1t was then nearly a mile in
length, and mt the bottom of the gulch
presented a sheer precipice of ice not less
than 80 feet in height. Later in the sea-
son the place was visited again, when it
was found that the great mass of ice had
melted until at its face it was not more
than one hundred feet high, the loss from
the surface reducing its length to about
half mile. Again, early the following
year, the place was visited, and the gla-
cier was found to have regained its bulk,
showing that the accumulation Of ice and
snow during the winter was about one
third its gross bulk. The rocks on the
sides Of this immense mass Of ice show the
marks of attrition, proving beyond all
controversy that the glacier is in motion.
Indeed, the earth at the foot of the gla-
cier, heaycd up in great masses, shows
that it is gradually moving down into the
valley. During the summer a large stream
of water flows from the face Of the icy
cliff Our informant is Of the opinion that
the glacier, as it progresses out of the
deep gorge in which 1t was formed will
slowly melt away, and that 1t will not last
many years. 1t is out of the way of ordi-
nary travel, and the route TO the scene is
exceedingly difficult, so that it is not likely
to he visited except by prospectors and
hunters,

LESSON FROM NATURE.

l leaned over the bars this morning;
My heart was oil out Of tune;
The roses my pathway adorning
Had blighted before the June.
SO Bighed as waited for Brindle,
Whiteface, and Spottie, and Bessi
Old Fate has unwonnd from her spindle
The rough threads for me, guess.
Then down o'cr the heaving moOreland,
= Where the forest-shades were dim,
The Sun came up like golden band
From behind a purple rim;
Slowly itrose DER the distant woods,
Where q silent river ran,
As dark and as deep as my sullen mood,
As itswept to the sea again.
The grasses were laden with sweetness;
Like stars cleaned the morning-dew;
The wheat-heads, in golden completeness,
Bent down to the daisies blue.
The bees doomed along DER the clover,
Gathering its hidden sweets,
And drinking its breath like lover
When two souls ecstasy meets.
The birds their sweet songs were singing,
Till the wood and welkin ring;
And the butterfly, slowly winging
Its flight, droops its FURNISHED wing.
Der the hot sands that are lying
Where the river waywardly glides,
The wind through the reeds is sighing
A song to his "bonny" bride.
Then up the well-beaten pathway
Came Brindle, Spottie, and Bess, the way,
Cropping the grasses that grew rOun
Waiting now for n tender Caresp,
l laid mp the bars, slowly saying:
longed for the eagles wings.
But my heart in sOul-mist was straying-
Be content with these humble things.

FROM the London News.
With the death OF Mr.. Thos. Landseer,
an artistic family of great eminence ends
its work, at least for this generation,
The father of Thomas, Charles and Edwin
Landseer was an engraver, and the talent
of these three artists, was like that of Ra-
phael, hereditary. Art runs more in
families than most forms of intellectual
tendency. The Bachs have added, in the
course Of 240 years, no fewer than 80
names to the history Of music. Many Of
the old Italian masters were the sons Of
painters or moSdiSteS whose fame has
been obscured by that of their greater
children. Yet we rarely find poet with
poet son, or philosopher whose child
''takes after him." as Mr.. John Stuart
Mill took after his father. Probably the
reason is that the son of an artist is at
tracted and alluIed from his very infancy
by the colorS and instruments Of art. The
philosopher or the poet has no such at
tractive properties-nothing but books,
pens, ink and paper. A child is not intel-
ested in these, but even very young child
ren say, Draw us picture" and are
captivated by the limitations Of art. The
elder brothers teach the younger ones too,
as in the great athletic families, like
those of The Lyttletons, Graces, Walkers,
and the rest. Thus the families Of artists
may take to art, very naturally, even
without great hereditary gifts. That o.
Sir Edwin Landseer was developed out Of
all proportion to the talent Of his broth
ers. Edwin Landseer's best pictures art
among the great works of the English
school, and their failure in color is made
up for by extraordinary fidelity and humor
sometimes by a CLEAN of poetry. The
pictmes of Charles were, perhaps, nc
moro than respectable, while the skill Of
Thomas as an engraver was the ''comple
ment, so to speak, of the young brother
genius with pencil and brush. His en-
cravings made Sir Edwin Landseers ad'
mirable compositions familiar not only in
England, but all over the world.
