VINO Wrote shaEspeares

Says a correspondent of the Richmond
Enquirer: Hamlet overheard Julius
Caesar tell King Lear, on the Twelfth
Night after the Tempest, that Anthony
and Cleopatra had told Coriolanus that
Two Gentlemen of Verona we're the
authors of Shakspeare's plays. Lear
said: You may take it as you like it,
but don't believe it. for heard Romeo
and Juliet say that their loves labor
was lost when Troilus and Cresida stole
the Comedy OF Errors and sold it to the
Merchant of Venice. Timon of Athens
and Cimbeline were parties to the theft,
and after drinking measure for measure
with the merry wives of Windsor, told
King John all about it. Richard III IA
competent critic) said Bacon could not
write even o winters tale, and Henry
VIII says that settles it; so, why make
so much ado about nothing. Othello
was busy dealing a fve-cent game of
faro to the ", V, and vi Henrys, and the
only remarks made by them were az oc-
casional "Prinde, don't turn; hold on,
and a few other foTcible remaks OF a

further evidence as to who wrote Shaks-

The average night climate is abou

Malaria there is absolutely none.
What has been the practical effect2'
you are ready to ask. / will tell you 10
as few words as possible. At first the
struggle between the malarial influences
and the new climate was very severe
Every two or three weeks / had a spell,
each succeeding one, however, being
weaker than its predecessor. AS these
grew lighter found my system imprev-
ing in tone the color going out to the
ends of my fingers and toes, and I also
found my pins getting stronger uRder
me. There is witching influence in
the air that seems to coax you out to
drink it in Then if you are afoot you
see rock just up there half mile on
the hillside which looks very curious,
and you go to see it; if on horseback,
and mounted on mettlesome nag, you
feel ashamed to draw rein under six or
seven miles. and you come in after a
glorious canter or ramble of an hour,
feeling like four-year-old. This exer.
else in open air is the motive power
which sets the liver to going, which
makes the stomach work, which digests
the food, which provides the nutrition,
which raises the system above the dis
ease. Does this put you in mind of the

This county furnishes the metropolis
with the bulk Of its good butter. We
have but small area of land under the
plow, the most of the country being too
hilly and broken to be cultivated to ad-
vantage; yet ours is one of the best and
most select communities in the State.
These high, steep hills and deep canons
are rated by the assessor at an average
of more than $l3 per acre, and | hear OF
dairy farms changing hands at as much |
as $50 an acre. The business of butter |
making is sure and certain; the income
can be calculated each day as it comes
in, and the outgo can be easily regulated.
At present butter is selling at from forty |
to fifty cents pound, which pays.
Most people who come out here neg
lect the counties adjoining tide water,

culture is settled, where the profits can
be counted on from year to year, where

culture. The old story is told over
again in this: We want to make haste
too rapidly. Whoever goes far from
