Animals on the Stage.

James Cooke, the celebrated eques-
trian, stands fair chance of having his
neck broken in Niblo's Garden, New
York, He is billed as Red Donohue, in
the new Irish Drama of Hearts of Steel,
and in the act which illustrates the
Irish defense of the bridge of Athlone,
is required to clear a chasm eight feet
in width on the back of his trusty steed
Crispin. The horse don't seem to take
kindly to the task, refusing on several
occasions at the rehearsals to make the
leap, and when the lights are up and the
music and musketry begin, he may posi-
bly,, like Frank Frayne's dog Jack, treat
the audience to scene not announced
in the programme. Jack was billed to
make his first appearance on any stage
some years ago in Buffalo. He was
trained to come on in certa in act, and
Illustrate crime by dragging mounted
villain by the throat from his saddle. At
rehearsal Jack acted like a star, never
missing to floor his man, whose neck
was, of course, securely padded to pre-
vent injury from the brute's teeth; but
when the night of the performance came,
the music and audience frightened the
dog actor, and coming to the front, he
simply looked at his victim and ran off
wagging his tail. Jack was afterward
kept chained in the wings, in order to
make him accustomed to the noise and
crowd. AS the nights progressed the
dog appeared to have lost all memory
of his cue, the villain appeared without
padding on his neck, and the last nights
of the drama were announced. Jack
changed the whole order of things,
however. The evening before the
farewell performance, the villain
emerged as usual on horseback from the
wings, when suddenly Jack broke his
chain and dashing for his man Mortified
the audience by fastening his fangs in
the poor fellows neck and dragging him
energetically to the stage. The cur
tain was rung down, several actors ran
to the rescue, and the villain was only
rescued after severe struggle. The
incident, though, uncomfortable as it
was to the actor, proved vastly profitable
to the manager; Jack never again forgot
his part, and the drama was played to
crowded houses for several consecutive
months.

The Manufacture of Slate Pencils.

The process OF making slate pencils
is thus described by the Stationer:-
Broken slate from the slate quarries is
put in a mortar run by steam, and
pounded into small particles. Thence
it goes into the hopper Of a mill, which
runs into boiling machine where it
is 'bolted, the fine, almost impalpable,
-four that results being taken to mixing
tub, where a small quantity OF steatite
-four, similarly manufactured, is added,
together with other materials, the whole
being made into a stiff dough. This
dough is kneaded thoroughly by passing
it several times between iron rollers
Thence it is conveyed to table, where
it is made into 'charges'-that is, short
cylinders, four or five inches thick, and
containing some eight or twelve pounds
each. -Four of these are placed in
strong iron chamber or 'retort,' with q
changeable nozzle SO as to regulate the
size of the pencil, and subjected to
tremendous hydraulic pressure, under
which the composition is pushed through
the nozzle in long cord, like slender
snake sliding out of hole. and passes

Yicissitudes of Life in LeadyilIe.

There is one happy man in Leadville
to-day, says a letter writer. The FIRST
OF the week he came into town, ragged,
dirty and penniless, after a summers
prospecting. He managed some way to
get liquor, however, and, not feeling in
the best OF humor, in ft of despera-
ton he went on a big DRINK. He con-
sequently got arrested and was fined, as
drunk and disorderly, $15 and COSTS
Having no money to pay the fine, he
was sent to the city jail, and thence to
the chain-gang, to work it out on the
streets OF Leadville. He had served part
Of his time, when he received call from
a party of capitalists from the Claren-
don hotel. A claim in which he owned
an interest had struck it rich, and these
gentlemen had called to offer him the
sum of $50, 900 for his share. 1t is need.
less to say that the offer was accepted.
He signed the papers, already prepared,
then aud there, and received the money,
paid his fine, visited bathhouse and
clothing store, and slept that night at
the Clarendon. The next morning,
clothed and in his right mind, he or
dered a carriage, visited the scene ofhis
late humiliation, and paid the fines of
his former companions in misery and
sent them on their way rejoicing. He is
happy, and so are the capitalists, as
they think they struck a splendid bar
gain: but this fact does not yet disturb
the serenity of the man who has come
up out of the depths, and leaped, as it
we're, in the twinkling of an eye, from
the chain-gang and penury to compe-
tency for all time to come.

hiding-plsce six small packages, all
neatly wrapped and tied with long loops,
SO that they could be hung on door
knobs. These presents be had pur-
chased with some money given him
tospend for himself.
With the little bundles arranged on
his arm for distribution, he stole softly
in his stocking-feet through the hall,
hanging each article on IFS respective
knob, without disturbing the occupants
OF the rooms, who were still cozily abed.
This done he went down to the base
ment in easy hopefulness. Aud he was
not doomed to disappointment, the con.
tents of the crowded stockings yielding
more than a usual amounts OF Joy and
admiration.
And when the family came down to
breakfast, how delightful it all was.
Every one was SO pleased with the pretty
present Joe had purchased for them,
that it was long time before the happy
family could suoside to the formal;ty of
the morning meal. Joe himself became
conscious Of higher pleasure than
Christmas had heretofore brought, when
his fathe; expressed his hearty satisfac-
tion in the gift his son had unassisted
given him; and, turning to his youngest
daughter, he said: Bessie, let us have
Christmas next year. which caused
general smile all around.
