ACADEMY OF MUsIc-RIcnARD THE THIRD
History has pretty well settled that Shakespcarc's
Richard III never really existed. The iconoclas-
tic criticism which, dissipating the Illusions Of
our childhood, makes OF the deformed, misshapen
hupchback brave and comelS warror-after his
brother, Edward w, the .landsonest man in Eng
aand-has not stopped with repairing his physi-
cal frame, but goes further and claims for our
familiar monster high place among the great
sovereigns OF England. And yet, in spite of the
truth, Shakespeare's history like Millions theolo-
py, holds its own In the popular heart "Rlchard,
as well as Iago" says Schlegcl, sis villain with
full consciousness" On this hint Mr., Warmers
action In the part is practically based. He is the
historical Richard physically, for he dlscards the
traditional hump, and does not deform his patu-
rally fine presence; but TO the mental and moral
demands of Shakespcare's royal villain. he thor
oughiy responds. The Keynote OF the character
is struck in the fine lines
And this word love, which gray bearls call di-
vine,
Be resident in men, like one another,
And not in Inc. am myself alonel

his kind. Nature has iHranously defrauded him,

Editor South Western
Dear Sir-In your issue this morning you express,
far better than can, the sentiments of Catholic Irish
men. The Catholic Church excludes from her COM
munion all members of secret societies. Such soci-
ETY. is that of the Fenians. The Irish must, indeed,
be strange set of fellows to remember, what they
never believed, that the Pope sold Ireland to the
English enemy before" How the Irish believed
this evident from the fact that they fought against
England from the days of Henry the Second, (who
sent Strongbow the archer to assist some of the Irish
against other Irsh but without any Papa bul, till
the time of Dutch William, who finally overwhelmed
them with his mercenaries. The English pleaded no
sale from the Pope till many year after Strongbow
had died As to my old teacher, Doctor Morarty, he
was man among the best of the good; priest,
most assduous in the discharge of his official duties,
and, have doubt of the same opinion as the editor
of the South estern, that many of the leaders Of
this movement Fenan) are praceing upon the patriot
ism and enthusiastic nature of the Irish people for ul
terror and pecuniary purposes" "Old Mory," as we
used to call him. could not express the shameful affair
any better. AN IRISH CATHOLIC
