THE WOMEN OF SHAKESPEARE.

The Rev. John Weiss delivered last evening
the third OF his course the characters OF
Shakespeare taking for his subjects Helena In ALPS
Well that Ends Well" and ophelia The characters OF
Helena and OF Ophea, said he present contrast and
tempt the student OF Shakespeare 10 bring both types
into one field OF view. Ophelia loyes the Lord
Hamlet. She clinss to him, but when her
fathers interference brings her into the stream that
is to sweep her life away. She develops powers OF
resistance But Helena though engaged her superior

tram. She ofends our cOnventionalites, and 10 win

THE PACIFIC MAIL INVESTIGATION.

SIR: Aside from the wholesale corruption of
Copgressmen which the Pacific Mail investigation. II
thoroughly pressed, seems likely to lay bare, there
are a number Of curious side transactions which
4, NAV also open up. Thus the Committee, by
diyigent inquiry, may perhaps find that on the
aay on which the Irwin checks were drawn
2lth May 1S72a charge appears on the books of the
Pacific Mail company for sc5o,oOo against arm Of
brokers IN this city. -Four months later the firm
seems TO have returned half million, while on the
same day the President of Pacific Mail, Mr. stockwe
drew O check for an equal amount, and charged IL to
the San Francisco Agency.
IdoD't believe that facts when thoroughly in
yesrigaed win reduce IN the least the evidence of
rupt,on at Washington. They will. however. tend to
show the horrible profiigaey with which the Govern
rnenvs expenditures to build up American commerce
have been used TO bun and bear stocks in Wal-st.
