A Comedian. on Acting.

Nat Goodwin, the comedian, has had
his say on the subject of success on
the stage. His views are scarcely in
accord with those of the actors and &C
tresses who lately wrote on the subject
in The North american ReUiesC. He
tells The Spirit of the Times that abe
ginner on the stage may do one of two
things. First. he may Join good old
stock company, ''if he can find one in
the woods anywhere and remain in it
for half century, when he win be given
complimentary benefit. Second, II
the beginner does not fancy that way,
he can join variety show, purchase a
lovely comic song, get q dramatist to
write play around it, and at once be-
come popular and rich. "But II the be-
ginner takes the second way,'' Mr..
Goodwin adds, she must never own
that success was easy. l find that the
really great actors, who have been
boosted to the top of thetree by chance,
notoriety, or money, are fond of refer
ring to their days and nights of toll and
struggle. and limiting how very hard
they work now. / have had tolls and
struggles and hard work myself, but it
was generally, after theq performance
was over, and might better have been
at home in bed. The, midnight oil the
ory is beautiful, but ] never saw it put

The Gold Product of California.

The gold product of California, from
the discovery Of the precious metal by
James w. Marshall in the tail-race OF
Suffers mill, January 19, 1S48, to June
80, 1881, amounted to 81, ITO, 600, 600.
OF this sum 5000, ,000, 900 is estimated to
have been extracted from the aurifer-
Gus placers. The remainder represents
the yield of gold quartz mines, of which
the State contains many. The yearly
product of gold in California is from
$15, 100000 to 20,000.0O0. From the
date of discovery to 1861, inclusive, the
gold product of California aggregated
800, 900, 900. derived chiefly from the
modern river beds and shallow placers.
A large proportion of the remaining
$500, 600, 600 has been obtained in the
deep gravel deposits, by the hydraulic
method. Strange as it may appear. an
industry which has contributed so
largely to the wealth of the world, and
has been the means of the settlement
and development of California, has
reached period in its history when it
is claimed by large portion of the
community to be a greater evil than
blessing, and the question Of suppress
ing the hydraulic method of gold min
ing has been the subject of earnest dis
cussion in and out of the halls Of legis-
lation. The law has been invoked to
suppress or control it. Even the State,
through its Attorney General, has COM
menced suit to suppress it. The
trouble grows out of the immense
amount of debris which the hydraulic
4pines are discharging constantly into

A Dairy Cow,


A dairy COW never reaches perfection
IN her line until she has arrived at ma
turity; and she must reach this period
OF her life with all her faculties unim-
paired II we expect her to be as good q
Cow as nature intended her to be. She
differs In this respect from the best beef
growing animals. which are mature, as
1t were from the start, and whose organ
izations, instead Of being impaired for
their business by generations of high,
early feeding, are rather more and more
adapted 70 it We all know that the
oldest and best family OF Shorthorns are
not remarkable for constitutional yigor
and elasticity. They have not very great
muscular strength, are not nervous and
powerful In their movements, and are
deficient in the provocative powers.
A good dairy COW should possess the
appearance of strength and firmness
without being too compact, and she
should possess no palpably weak point
il she is expected, to endure well In the
work Of the dairy. She should not be
selected for breeder unless she pos
sesses as an inheritance that shape
which indicates strong vitality and that
quality which indicates active secretory
functions. In her well-shaped, strong
head, wide muzzle, mild eye. broad fore
head, small, waxy horn, slender neck,
straight and slender forelegs sharp
chine, loose shoulder, broad ribs, OPEN
iointed backbone, mellow, preponderat-
ing hind quarters, long hind foot and
broad fore foot, ample carcass, well
shaped udder, large superficial veins,
soft hair, she should indicate o capacity
for converting food into milk, as distin-
guished from that COW whose rounder
fuller form and heavier bone and
smoother joints and narrow head and
heavier quarters show an especial apti-
tude TO take on fat.-Selected.

On the afternoon Of October 10th,
last, Messrs. F. Myers & Co., of 66s
Broadway, New York, presented to
President Arthur. at his New York
residence, 123 Lexington Avenue, a
copy of remarkable and magnificent
engraving entitled "Oar Presidents,

Myera & Coz After warmly COM
mending the pic urs, the President
bespoke a cory also for the White

framed, has accordingly been supplied
with the compliments Of the pub
Usher" On November 22d, General
U. s. Grant, while present at his bus
iness Office in the Equitable Building,
Broad way. N. Y, purchased a cory
from canvassing agent and appeared
much pleased. Said the General
and ex-President, referring to the
portrait of himself: "Ihat is a very
good likeness of me. II IS just as 1

gray, and no grayor, than IL appears

this, General Grant, having paid the

Of "Our Presidents, l789.l8Sl," with
him under his arm. On ths next day
OK. President R. B. Hayes, received
a copy CT the plate at his hems, in
Fremont, and he at once addressed
letter to tho publisher expressive o.
his approval and qualification.
