WAS OTHELLO A NEGRO2
A QUESTION OF LITERARY CRITICISM.

Our reference to the historical question

regard to the chronological extraction of
Hannibal appears to have suggested to the
mind of one of our readers renewal of
the similar question which has been moot.

and sketched by Shakes beare. On this
point we have received the following com.

ask for information, and trust you will be
disposed to enlighten the ignorance Of a
LADY SUBSCRIBER.
1t is quite true, as our fair correspond
dent observes, that many eminent artists
and scholars have supposed that Othello,
as conceived and drawn by Shakespeare is
Justly repr sented in the character of a ne.
gro. He.is sketched by Ratzsch ia his
OutlIoes, and he is so presented by the
modern German artist Hiderbrand, of the
dusseldorf School, in the picture which
long formed the chief attraction of the
"Dusseldorf Gallery" in New York. So
accurate aud learned scholar as John
Quincy Adams has also written in sup.
port Of the thesis that O;hello was ne
gro.
But it seems to us that our fair CORES.
pendent has said all that need be said, and
all that can be said, in reply to such rep
RESERVATIONS when she premises her nqui-
ry whether Othcllo was negro by saying
that, shakespeare calls him Moor
1t Shakespeare cal s him Moor, we may
be pretty sure that the great dramatist
knew what he meant, and did not use the
term Moor as synonym for Ethiopian.
The scene of the drama is laid in We
nice, and as is well suggested by Mr.
Richard Grant White, the accomplished
scholar and editor of Shakespeare, the
Ientians had nothing to do with negroes
that we know Of, and could not have 10 the
natural course of things; whereas, with
their over the'way neighbors, the Moors,
they we're continually in contact These
were a warlike, civilized, and enterprisng
race, which could furnish an OheHo. 1t
it not 80 probable (and Shakespeare, we
must suppose, had an eye to the fact when
he calls Othello "the Moor") that the ne
gro race could have furnished to Venice
the valiant captain he has portrayed.

How Paul and Peter Looked,

1t is allowable to mention the general
notion of the forms and features of the
two apostles which bad been handed down
in tradition, and was represented by the
early artists. St. Paul is set before US as
having the strongly marked and promi-
nent features of Jew, yet not without
some of the finer lines indicative of Greek
thought. His stature was diminutive,
and his body disGgured by some lameness
or distortion, which may have provoked
the contemptuous expression Of his enc
mics. His beard was long and thin. His
head was bald. The characteristics Of his
face were transparent complexion, which
visibly betrayed the quick changes of his
feelings; a bright eye, under thickly over.
hanging, united eyebrows cheerful and
winning expression Of conntenance, which
invited the approach and Inspired the
confidence of strangers. II would be
natural to infer, from his continual Jour
'neys aud manual labor, that he was pos
sessed of great strength Of constitution.
But men Of great health have often gone
st'oUSh w SliN"NSsp AE'tiOuo 3 anu his
own words, on more than one occasion,
showed that he suffered much in bodily
health. . f.. ........ ......
St. Peter is represented to us as man
of larger and stronger form, as his charac-
ter was harsher and more abrupt. The
quick impulses of his soul revealed them
selves in the flashes OF dark eye. The
complexion of his face was full and sal
low and the short hair, which is .describ-
ed as entirely gray at the time VI h:
death, curled black and thick avoul4 his
temples aud his chin, when the two apos-
ties were at Antioch, twenty years, before
their martyrlom. :. .. ,.... ..

the most curious instances Or record Of
the changes that family names undergo !:

/ If the Great Dramatst was without
the soci"l prejudices engendered by the
visible enslavement of the negro race, and
by contact with its degraded subjects, he
has at least made it plain that he was no
advocate of what Mr.. Wendell Phillips

Sublime minging of the races" Else
there would be no point in the reply he
puts in the mouth of Claudio, when, in
the play Of "Much Ado About Nothing"

trusted commander in the armies of Ven

prpudest nations of the world. Yet, not

the esteem of the Duke and the dignity
of his position, Senator could declare in
his place that for his daughter to run to

of miscegenation evidently found few en-
dorser's in Venice in Othello's time
