RED WING GooDHUE COUNTY MIMI WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 1860

|oniy put the question for form; he had
himself attended, and witnessed the
representation; his feelings were truly
shocked. Mr.. Shakespeare had rep.
resented our late revcred sovereign as
laboring to procure divorce from
Queen Catharine by the most corrupt
artificcs and even as endeavoring to
effect it by means Of Italian pertidy.
He had also repl esented his Prime
Minister, is leaving cruel and oppres-
sive taxes on the people in his majes-
tvs name; circumstances tending to
bring our late revered sovcreign's s
memory into contempt and very pain.
fNl to the feelings of his daughter, our
present beloved sovereign.
Mr.. Shakespeare admitted the writ.
ing and representation of the play,
but appealed to the proceedings Of the
Court, and to every memoir Of the life
Of Henry VIII, for tho truth of the
characters delineatcd in his play.
Sir Thomas Holmes considered this
rather an aggravation. Of the offence,
and calculated to augment the danger.
Sir Charles Lynn felt indignant at
the exposition made of tho Duke OF
Buckingham.
Messrs. IIemminges and Condell
humbly stated that Mr.. Shakespeare
was only a joint patentee, and that
they would take care to guard against
! similar representation.
A consultation here took place
among the magistrates. The chair
man at length informed Nh. Shakespeare
that his license would be renewed this
year; but cautioned him against por.
traying in future the characters OF
kings, ministers or courtiers-at least:
such as had not been dead an hundred d
years."

A WHISTLER ENCoRED IN A THEA
TRE.-Night before last, little even,
occurred at Niblo's theatre which
will long be remembered by all who
were present. Pending the appear.
ance of the members of the orchestra,
who were for some reason or other
behind time, q plainly dressed man in
the third tier commenced whistlinc
that peculiarly plaintivc melody. '.The
Last Rose Of Summer" with a be.
witching sweetness and grace. By
degrees the accustomed hum Of voices
in the parquettc and boxes ceased
and all eyes were turned upward in
the vain endeavor to t1ace whence
came the mysterious and thrilling
strains. The audience seemed en-.
tranced with the strange warbline
notes and thrill Of the whistler, and
perfect quiet reigned throughout the
house. Some Of the actors peered
from behind the curtain and even the
musicians crept silently into the orches-
ira. With the most intricate varia.
tions, the whistler finished tho air,
when storm Of applause shook the
honsc to Its center. Again were the
thrill and peculiar notes ofthe whistler
heard, and again was the house reduc-
ed to breathless silence. The strange
music ceasing second time, the or
chestra struck up an operate air, but
their music was fairly drowned BY the
storm OF applause. One of the ushers
finally traced out the whistler, and
turned him out Of the house.

The Historical Prince of Wales.

In the hereditary halo surrounding
the title Prince of Wales there is much
calculated to involve the detail of the
historian. Identified as the dignity
has been with English story for more
than five centuries, few readers even
OF that story are cogEizant of the pow
ers or events nearly allied to the hon
orary designation of the regular heir
to the British throne, and even those
who, yesterday, were among the fore
most to welcome to New York city
the twentieth Prince of Wales, may
discover in the following brief summa-
ry of the lives and deaths of nineteen
preceding Princes, something to pom
der over and repay the perusal.
The first Prince of Wales (of Eng
lish connection was Edward of Caer-
naVon, eldest son of King Edward the
FlrSt-born at the castle where he de-
rived his apellation, at the moment
his father was consumating the con-
quest of the Welsh people. An old
legend, as likely to be true as false,
has been handed down to us in respect
to this Prince, to the effect that the
Welsh refused up TO the latest moment
to accept any Prince whatever
apart from one who was their own
countrymn, and conld speak no Ian
guage except their own-a difficulty
which the adroit Edward soon dispos-
ed of by presenting to his new subiec Is
his own infant, born only the previous
night in Caernavon. This Prince be.
came afterwards, King Edward the
Second, and is noted in history as one
of the weakest and most unfortunate o.
monarchs who ever held the English
sceptre. Hurled from place and pow.
er, he was confined in the lowest dun
geons of Berkly Castle, and there muir.
dered by process as unnatural as il
was horrible.
The second Prince of Wales was {
son of the above unhappy king, very
unlike him in disposition and the glo
ry of his rein. The name of Edward
the Third fills brilliant page in En-
! glish history, as does that of his son

+" Dixie's Land"

The most popular tune since the
publication of odd Folks at Home, ;
in the United States, is the plantation
negro melody of Dixie's Land. -
Throughout the Eastern States it is
creating a perfect furore. It is play
ed and sung everywhere by brass
bands, orehestras and seranaders-is
whistled by ragged urchins in the
streets, and by calliopes on steamboats,
and forms one of the chief attractions
in the musical soirees of the posIor
During the visit of the Prince of
Wales to the st. Louis Fair, it was
alternated with God Save the Queen, ,
Yankee Doodle Hail to the Chief
Hail Columbia and other national
airs OF the two countries. At the
late Douglas Demonstration at Indian
apolis, there were eight brass bands
present, vieing with each other in the
performance of this talking melody.
An amusing anecdote is told in re-
gard to it which happened lately at
st. Lonis theatre.
The orchestra played it when the
curtain rose and the play began. But
the audiance would not listen. The
cry of Dixie rnn through the house
from pit to gallery, completely drown
ing the voice Of the actor He made
several Intellectual attempts to be heard
and left the stage.
The old manager appeared, flushed
with anger, and in an excited voice ex-
claimed /:
Gentlemen, what means all this H.
hammered confusion {? What do you
want p
Immediately hundred voices cried
ont Dixie
We'll you can't have it. You've
had Dixie once tonight, and you'll
have Dixie no more.'
He retired to the green-room, and
the actor again appeared But it
was no use. A deafening shout for
Dixie met him from the audience,
and after stammering and suffering
for moment, he left the stage The
curtain dropped, the orchestra played
Dixie, and the play progressed with.
out interruption.
