1BiIl ShaksDenre.o

In the course of q recent lecture at Chicago,
j. G. Wilson Of that city introduced an anec'
dote related to him by his Quaker friend, VIM
Hewitt.
Said Hewitt As i was passing through STRAIT
ford one morning, saw the master OF the viii
lage school mastering his scholars to their task.
| stopped. being pleased with the looks Of the
old man, and said "You seem TO have con-
siderable number Of lads here; shall you raise
another Shakespeare from among them, think
you ?"
"Why," replied the master, II have shak-
speare now in the school,"
/ knew that Shakespeare had no descendants
beyond the second generation, and was not
aware that there was any Of his family remain
ing. But il seems that The posterity Of his sis =
ter John Hart, who is mentioned in bis will,
yet exists. part under her marriage name Of
Hart, at Tewkesbury, and family in Strnt-
ford Of the name OF Smith.
~ have Shakespeare here" said the master,
with evident pride and pleasure. Here, boys,
herel"
He quickly mustered his laddish troop in q
row, and said to me, "There, now, sir, can you
tell me which is Shakespeare
/ glanced my eye along the line, and instant
ly fixing it upon one boy, "Thst is the Shak-
speare."
"You are right" said the master, "that Is he
the Shakespeare countenance Is there. That
is William Shakespeare Smith, lineal descend
ant OF the poets sister,"
Mr.. Hewitt adds: 1T sounded strangely
enough, as l was passing along the street in
the evening, to hear some OF the same school
boys say one to another, That is the gentleman
who gave Bill Shakespeare shilling this morn
ing'"

DIVIDING THE SrATE.-Proposition for divi-
ding the State come from both ends thereof
We observe by the last Yreka Union bill, to
be introduced into the Assembly, for cutting
OF the Northern portion and uniting II with o
portion Of Oregon. From the south comes the
proposition Of Senator Pico, providing for the
organization Of San Luis Obispo, Santa Bar
bara, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Bernar-
dino into territory. The s. +. Herald opposes
the latter proposition for the reason that many
Of the native Californianp are very black now.
with negroes they win unite, and all Of them
become negroes Horrible! We are opposed
to the Northern division for the reason that, II
Northern Californians are brought in social
connection with 0regonians. they will probably
amalgamate and all become Oregonans IA
contamination awful to contemplate l--Shastd
Courier.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-03-02

TAX TITLEs.-In the case OF Moore vs. Patch
recently decided in the Supreme Court, Judge
Baldwin, with the concurrence Of Judge Field,
says:
"a general impression seems to prevail that
no tax-sale can be made which will be effcctual
on the facts OF any given ease, 1t may not be
out Of place to suggest that consequences OF q
serious character may result to owners OF prop
erty by q too con6dent reliance upon the idea
that taxes may be left unpaid with impunity."
This Is mere intimation, but pretty strong
one, that the Supreme Court will decide tax ii.
ties valid, should case Of the kind ever come
before them. Property holders will do well Ia
make note Of the intimation.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-03-02

as desolate in the extreme, with its long up-
opened avenues and streets, its deep morasses,
and its vast area covered with trees instead Of
houses. 1t is enough to say, that Washington
projected the whole plan upon Q scale Of eentu-
riss, and that time enough remains TO oil the
measure Of his great conception. .
The Senate continued to occupy the north
wing, and the House of Representatives the
south wing of the Capitol until the Gath of Ap-
gust, 1914, when the British army entered the
city and burned the public buildings. This oc-
CURED during the recess, and the President i'm
mediately convened the Congress. Both Hou-
ses met in brick building known as Blodget's
Hotel, which occupied part Of the square
now covered by the General Post Office. But
the accommodations in that house being quite
insufficient, number of public spirited citizens
erected a more commodious building on Capt.
tol Hill, and rendered it to Congress: the offer
was accepted and both Houses continued tc
occupy it until the wings of the new Capitol
were completed. This building yet stands on
the street opposite 70 the northeastern corner
of the Capitol square, and has since been occa
sionally occupied by persons employed in diff
ferent branches Of the public service.
On the 9th of December, 1919, the Senate
assembled for the first time in this chamber
which has been the theatre Of their delibera-
tions for more than thirty-nine years.
