The Philadelphia Sunday Attds has the six
old plays ON which Shakespeare founded hi:
Measure for Measure, Comedy of Errors,
Tanning the Shrew, King John, Henry v.
and King Lear, which are as follows:
!. The history of Pomos and Cassandra
printed in 1891. .I t
?. The Troublesome Reign of King John
3. The Famous Victories of Henry V,
acted prior to 1888, published in 1894
4. The Tanning Of the Shrew, printed in
1894. " n. III
s. The Chronicle History of Leu, King Of
England, published in 1894. ..- arr
g. Menechmi, taking out of Plautus,
printed in 1895. 0., ...... ........
The first of these was written by poet Of
considerable celebrity in his day, George
Whitstone, and was taken from La Seconda
Parte de gil Hecatommithi di NJ. Gloyan
batisti Geraldi Contheo. Deca 8, Nov. 5, D.
AIS, Edit. 1865. This production has been
attributed to Marlowe. 1t was republished
in l6ll, and 1922, with the letters w. Sh.
prefixed to it, that it might be mistaken for
the work of Shakespeare.
In our edition we find the following;
'ewithered flower t
Who in his life shined like the mornings blush,
Cast out of door" ..' -''0~ T'
Shakespeare has these lines:
Mhn empty casket, where tlejewel oflife,
By some damned hand was robbed and ta,en away
The characters in the old play are dull,
heavy and stupid; they seem as SO many
pictures badly painted, while those of Shak-
speare seem animated with life. He breaths
into them new spirit of existence and they
live again in his lines. Shakespeare may be
criticised for century, and at the end of
centuries be as great as everl He is, and ever
will be, the poet of actual existence.
The third play, Henry v, was published
anonymously. There are no less than four
plays upon this subject, viz: the one alluded
to here, printed 1858, one printed 1900, author
unknown, the title Of which is 1.-THE Chroni-
Gle History of Henry V, with the battle
fought at Agincourt in France, together with
Antient Pistoll;" the third, printed in 1872,
was written by the Earl of Orrery; in 1923,
Aaron Hill printed his version, which he
called Henry V, or the Conquest of France
by England. f... az. TT I
The Tanning of the Shrew, printed in Lon
don, by Peter Short l494; no real authors
name given. There are several King Lears,
but the one in question is supposed to have
given Shakespeare the idea Of making his
great tragedy by that name, for we cannot
recognize anything else but the cognomen
and a few characters the names alone are to
be found, to remind US of the old chronicle.
Menechmi is taken from the poet Plautus,
and made into English by w. W., 1896. j

A Safe Condition.

An American sloop-of-war had put into
an English port, and the Lieutenant went on
shore to reconnoiter. In the course of his
travels he entered a tavern, where number
of British officers were carousing. They at
once recognized the Lieutenant's nationality
by his dress, and resolved to amuse them
selves by bullying him.
"Well, comrade," says one, "you belong to
the United States, see." sI H0
Right" was the answer. ..E s
"Now, what would you do to man who
should say that your navy did not contain
an officer fit for a gun-boat?" continued the
Englishmai. r.-1 n.
II would blow his brains out" replied the
Lieutenant, with great coolness.
There was silence among her Majesty's
servants for a moment; but finally one of
them, more muddled than the rest, managed
to stammer out:
"W-well Yank, say itp
The American walked to his side, and re-
piled calmly: -rf --rriauil
tits lucky for you, shipmate, that you
have no brains to blow outp EftI.
Struck by the dignity of the answer, the
offender at once apologized, and our hero
was invited to join the mess. r. .rr.-.a

A Physician's Wife Destroys Herself for
jealousy. ..t.......-


A day or two since, in New York, Mary
Ann Latson, committed suicide. From the
testimony elected, the deceased had been
exceedingly jealous of her husband for a
number of years, in consequence of his pro-
fession bringing him in contact with so many
ladies'. She had often begged Of him to give
up his business, and do something else, but
he had refused to do so. On Wednesday
morning, disagreement occurred between
them-Mr. Latson taking some money from
her bureau drawer, to which she objected
Some hard words appear to have passed be-
tween them al that time, after which Mr..
Latson went into his Office, in the same
building, and attended to his work. He did
not see his wife again till about six o'clock in
the evening, when he found her lying on the
hoor OF her own room, and quite dead. r..
After having quarreled with her husband,
Mrs; Latson appears to have gone out with
market basket and purchased quantity of
charcoal Returning to her room, she had
carefully stopped the cYevices around the
windows with cotton, filled furnace with
the TN coal, set it on fire, and laid down to die.
W hen found, she was lying nn tho Aoor, with
pillow under her head, her arms folded
and her limbs straight. A strong odor OF
charcoal gas pervaded the apartment. Dr.
Laston at once raised an alarm the neighbors
were called in, physicians sent for, and all
manner of restoratives applied, but too late
The following note to her husband was writ
ten on an ordinary business card, and left on
table in the room: utH. H'-
Farewell, William. Forgive me for all
the trouble have caused you; but, recollect,
your business has driven me crazy, and neither
in pity for my body or soulwould you change
your ways. I am no thief; you could not
mean that Give my things TO my dear
sister, and something TO Adeline and the

Desenerncy of English Peers.

To look at our Peers now, says the London
correspondent Of the Liverpool Albion, you
would say they are all sprung from the crop
cared Roundheads, and that there was never
a Cavalier among the grandfathers of any of
them. The recent infusions, especially from
the manufacturing element, are physiognoin-
ical frights. The snub proboscfs, character
istic of the millionaire, abounds on all hands,
or rather on all faces; though really it is not
fair to level that reproach against our coro-
neted cotton mushrooms seeing that noble
Lord, who traces his pedigree direct to the
Bruce of Bannockburn, might enter into
comparative examination with Belper, DER
byshire Strutt,) as to the angle of Incidence
involved in the peaks of their respective OIL
factory apparatus; and assuredly the blue
blood Of the Howards presents no particu-
larly comely contrast to the plebian raddle of
the iiock of Joneses and Robinsons, the latter
patronymic, by the way, including one owner
Of two Earldoms, De Grey and Ripon; and
he is no exception to the rule. -er 4 sil

A NIodi.h Marriage in New York.

The greater part of the fashionable people
Of New York has been thrown into an awful
state Of excitement In CONSEQUENCE of
wedding which took place a day or two
since. The ladies who were honored with
an invitation have not been easy in their
minds for many days--that momehtous ques-
tion, "What shall wear" having caused
much trouble; and many were the consulta-
tions held and visits made and received be-
fore IL was decidedly settled upon. But set
tied upon it was, and the fair creatures shone
out in the most resplendent manner upon the
occasion. Gentlemen do not require as long
a period for preparation as the fair sex--on
the contrary, they are supposed to be always
ready; and provided they can get away from
their business, all is right p
The wedding took place at the residence Of
the BRIDES father Mr.. Vanderpoel, in Mad
isOn-ayenue. Mr.. Vanderpool Is q wealthy
and retired merchant of this city, and is a
brother of Judge Vanderpoel They are one
of the Oldest families ofthis city.
The bridegroom is Mr.. John Vanderpoel, a
lawyer Of this city, and is member of the
family, although very distantly connected.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.. Jacob
Vanderpoel They were married in the house
ofthe Rev. DR.. Lathrop ofthe Second-ayenue
Baptist Church. The brother of the BRIDE
groom acted as groomsman, and the fair sister
Of the bride assumed the responsible position
of bridesmaid. The bride was most richly
dressed in white satin and lace, and wore a
pearl necklace said to be worth $1,000. She
is young handsome and extremely prepos-
sessing in her personal appearance, and the
happy gentleman who was so fortunate as to
obtain her hand was envied his fortune by all
present. After the ceremony the Rev. DR..
made most eloquent prayer, in which helm
voked the blessing of God upon the young
couple, and hoped that he would give them
grace to enter upon the serious duties Of life
with proper spirit After the usual saluta-
tons from relatives and friends, the company
retired 70 the refreshment department Of the
saloon, which was beautifully decorated with
real flowers, which were in such profusion
that they hung in festoons from the chande-
liers.
In room off the saloon were the various
presents which had been presented to the
young couple. They comprise splendid sill
yer and china tea sets, any quantity of silver
spoons and forks, bracelets, napkins rings,
watches, and among them all was splendid
Bible, on which was plate with their crest
upon il. The presents were chiefly from the
relatives, and were too numerous to classify
There were one thousand invitations given
out, and the scene outside the house was
very spirited one Madison-avenue and the
side streets'for some distance were filed with
carriages, and il was with difficulty that the
visitors came and went. The bride and BRIDE
groom intend making an extensive Southern
tour and end with a trip to Havana. They
left for Philadelphia yesterday afternoon, and
will be absent some time

The New. business.

The Hudson River Railroad Company will COM
merce on Monday next the running Of special loco
motive and baggsge-car at 1920 a. m. from New.
York, to carry newspapers. This arrangement will
enable newsmen to supply their customers with The
TRIBUNE and other New-York papers three or four
hours earlier than heretofore, and must largely in
crease their sales Tire train viii arrive ct Albany at
7:45 and at Troy at a. m. The Central and the
Northern Roads, anxious to extend the arrangement,
will de- ay their morning trains from Albany and Troy
till the arrival of the special train from New-fork.
The extra expense of running special train msy Tor
short time, partially increase the cost Of New-fork
papers, but the increased circulation will coon enable
dealers to supply their customers at present prices
This train will take passenger car, thus aording
additional facilities to the travelling public. This enter
prise was originated by Mr.. l.. n Shear, but could
not have been carried out successfully bat for the
cooperation of the Hudson River Railroad Company
who tave consented to run the extra train for sum
considerably less than the regular price,

throughout the country, but especially in the

Tho calculation of the publishers evidently is,
that the Postmasters will all take hold and push the
circulation of their paper among all parties, aud
that ts low price and noensive character will en-
able them to get II nte the hands of many thousands
Of voters. When the proper time shall have arrived,

Thus the French Emperor extends the boundaries
of his dominons on the side of the Alps to what are
