Arternus Ward on the Drama.

"a. WARD has been annoyed by the
remarks of ignorant people upon his great
show. Many persons declare that his
wax Tigers are not of character ele-
waited and refined. He says:
l maintain that wax figgers is more ele-
vatin than all the plays ever wroten. Take
Shakspeer, for instance. People think he's
great things, but contend he is quite the
reverse to tho contrary. What sort of
sense is thar to King Leer, who goes round
cussin his darters, chawin hay, and throw
in straws at folks, larfin like silly old
koet, and making q ass of himself giner-
allya
There's Mrs. Macbeth-she is a nice
kind of woman to have, amt she Pa put
ting old Mac, her husband, up to clay
Duncan with q cheese-knife, while he is
paying friendly visit to their house. o,
it's highly morality, l spose, when she
laughs wildly and SEE, "gin me the dagger
i'll let his bowels out" or words to that
effeck-i say this is all strictly proper, j
spose2 That Jack Fawlstaff is likewise an
immoral cuss, take him how you may and
Hamlit is as crazy as a loon. There's
Richard Third-people think he is CRATE
things, but look upon him in the light OF
a monster. He kills everybody he takes
a notion to, in cold blood, and then goes
to sleep in his tent. Bimeby he wakes up
and yells for boss, so he can 60 off and
kill sum more people. If he is not q fit
specimen for the CALLS, then j should like
to know ware you find um There's Iergo,
who is more ornory nor pizun. See how
shameful he treats that highly spectacle
injun gentleman, Mr.. Otheller, making
him for to believe his wife was tew thick
with Casheo. Observe how lergo got
Casheo drunk as billed owl on corn whis-
Ky, in order to carry out his sneakin de-
sines. See how he works Mister Otheller' q
feelings up so that he goze and makes poor
Desdemony swaller a piller, which caused
her deth. But must stop. At sum fu-
ture time l shall continue my remarks on
the drammer, in which l shall show the
vast superiority of wax fggers, snaix and
the fixins, in an intellectual point of view.

of the fall Of Richmond. signifed his
intention of returning home to assist

though; that event finished the rebel
lion.
or course, he, with others OF his

broken ranks of the Copperhead par

be one that will require more than hui
man power TO accomplish. He has
figured in it for four years. in and out
Of Congress, and the result has not
been very cheering. Indeed it has
been far otherwise. The people did
not come mp to the line he had mark
ed out for them. and all his scheme,
failed. Opposition TO the war didn'
win--the New York anti. draft riots
even with the assistance of Governor
Seymour, didn't Nin--the ballot bo,
stuiIlng didn't win, and even the run
ming of pseudo war candidate on {
peace platform, did not win. AL
failed. He is now laying out a nse
less plan. The people know wha
the Copperhead party is, ard the,
don't like it-they also know wha
such leaders rs Fernando Wood ant
that class are, and will treat them ac
cording to their just deserts.
Poor leaders, and poor party. -

The Courier asserts as proof that
the Copperhead faction are in no
manner responsible for the murder OF
the President, that the democratic"
presses were landing him for his
mercy to the South at the time OF the
assassination. The very number of

OF the assassination also contained

IILMENl VI

The people Of the loyal states
we're, few weeks ago in O most for.
giving mood. As soon as Lee sur
rendered his army, and the end OF the
rebellion was in sight, the people
seemed possessed with a spirit Of
mercy which bid fair not only to ex.
honerate the contrivers of the rebel
lion and the tools they selected to
carry it on from all the consequences
Of their stupendous sin, hut to exalt
them above the heads of those who
had stood by the nation in its peril.
Had that Wholesale murderer, Rob-
ert +. Lee, come North five weeks
ago. we doubt not that he would have
heen feasted and petted as q "brave
but unfortunate man."
Robert Z. Lee has the blood of
more Northern men to answer for
than any one Of the rebel crew. He
had the power in his hands--he could
have stopped the war at any time.--
lie did not do it--he persisted in sac
riiicing the lives of his own followers
as we'll as those Of our own brave
men, and only desisted when he had
no more to waste.
lie could at any time have stopped
the wholesale starvation of his pris,
oners he could have let light into
the dungeons of Libby; lie could
have stopped the shooting of prison
oners for mere pastime; he could
have saved the lives Of the maryred
thousands of Andersonvile and Sal
isbury with a word, but he did not
do it. No! so long as he had hope
of success, he. fought. SO long as
the deliberate starvation or butcher.
W.T. ~ n man would lessen our
strength and thereby increase his
chances, so long the butchering and
starvation went on.
If any loyal man catches himself
regarding Robert L. Lee as anything
but Southern, aristocratic, rope-de-
serving secessionist, let him think of
Andersonville aud Libby, and con
slider that the hellsh atrocities com
mitted at those places were commit
ted while he was really the head OF
the Southern Confederacy.

der. The debt of Great Britain was
begun by raising a million sterling
by loan in 1892, and when her great
contest with Louis XIV. was termi-
mated, the debt had reached fifty mil
lions. Many statesmen and econo.
mists were then alarmed at the great
burden which had been imposed up
posed upon the industry of the coun-
try, but when the war Of the Austrian
succession had swelled this amount
TO eighty millions, Macaulay says
that historians and orators pronounc.
ed the case as desperate. But when
war again broke out, and the national
debt was rapidly carried up one
hundred and forty millions, men of
theory and business both pronounced
that the fatal day had certainly ar.
rived. David Hume said that. al

nation must sink under il unless some
portion Of the load was borne by the
American Colonies, and the attempt
to impose this loan produced the war
of the revolution, and instead of dI.
diminishing, added another millions to
the burden. Again, says Macaulay,
was England given over, but again
she was more prosperous than ever
before. But when at the close of her
Eapoleonic wars in 1916, this debt
had been swelled up to the enormous
sum Of over eight hundred millions
