Of human affections is that, Of the mother for
her child AHothers are liable to be lessened
or wholly ex'inguished by circumstance;
but this lives through every situation The re-,
port of the horrible holocaust at Evansville, In
diana, recently published, illustrates this. Ac-
cording to the most extended account, which
is probably the correct one, Mrs. Mehr, finding
the building on fire, seized the child nearest her
and carried him out in safety. Though the
flames were eneircling the place and the smoke
filling it. the woman, undaunted. returned for
the other little ones; but never came forth.
When the ruins were cleared away, her charred
body was discovered, and, clasped close to II
the charred body Of her youngest babe. Such
is the tale in brief 1t needs no comment If
through all history, there be shown a more ap-
pealing illustration Of maternal love. We cannot
at present recall it, What arm but mothers
would, despite the terrible and long continued
torture of fire, preserve clasp of its treasure un
relaxed. Shocking though such incidents be,
they prove at least, to the most skeptical, the
existence of such Thing as disinterested devo
tion even unto death.

upon the right OF women in New York to

not at all unusual in that city to meet ladies

THE SHAKEsPEAREAN COURSE.

LECTURE BY GEORGE vANDENHoFF on RICHARD III.
George NandenhOff, the actor and elocution-
ist delivered Association Hall yesterday the fourth
q series of FIVE lectures the historical plays OF
Shakespeare The subject OF the first OF these was
Macbeth; :" OF the second, King Richard H." and of
the third, "King John" The play OF Orchard Ill"
was considered yesterday. The scheme OF oil the
lectures to show how far the great dramatst ad
hered history rather than interpret specially
comment the plays Mr.. VaDdenhOf said that while
there were fewer dvergences from recorded history
In the play of King Richard Ill than in the other his
torica plays OF Shakespeare small degree Of dra
matte license :sken in IT. The wooing in the
first act-between Gloser and Lady Anne-was pure
dramatic fiction. IL was ON unfair stroke Of Shake
to make Gostes aims In his intercourse with
Anne so selfish for they had been children toge ther,
and affection was the prompter 10 his marriage with
her. Another divergence was the death OF Richard.
Instead OF dying by Rehmonds hand as the draIuatst
made him do ne fell fighting herceY among the SOL
diers. Tue striking in the play real
and the comments made in pass ng. In conclusion,
Mr VaDdenhof said that during Richards brief reign OF
three years he showed himself to be enlightened ana
wise monarch far beyond the age IN which he lived.
He tramped out system OF taxation that was
erty. HIS Parliament declared by impartial
historians to nave been the most admirable for protect
ing aud Improving the general national interests since
the EdW ard l. 2J0 before. He at the
time patron OF literature. The laws OF the land
they had existed only in MSS and IN French. and hence
were inaccessible 10 the masses Therefore, said the
speaker let picture him TO minds not merely IN
the light OF lumpbacked usurpcr, deep In his friends
blood. He was an avowed devOtee OF fashion, an ac-
compbshed gentlemen, a sagdci0us leader, an acute
politician wise statesman, and lust legislator Few
speaker. AS TO Richards defects OF person, Shake
speare near the truth
80 at,entlyelg to the end Warm paudits greeted Mr.
SapdeDhOf when he was done.
