Characters of Shakespeare.

In Hamlet we have the expression of
high-wrought passion, dreamy mad
ness. So, too, in Mcbeth, Lear, Shy
lock, and Othello there is madness; but
each has his respective disorder, each
his constitutional frenzy. Maebeth's
rage is for the glory and power of a
| throne; Aear's proceeds of great person.
al Affections; Shylork's proceeds of in
satiable greed of gain; Othello's de-
rangement is occasioned by jealousy,
proceeding of wounded self-lOve and
amativeness. Poor Ophelia Graves our
sympathy on account of her double be-
reavement at one fell stroke so unex-
pected.
Falstaff, who occupies so conspicuous
place in the second group, appears all
the vain, sensual, trucking braggart he
is, and in striking contrast with the
impulsive tenderness and devotion of
Romeo and Juliet.
On the other side we have the subtitle
yet jocund PetruchiO, and the shrew
Katharine, whose tanning seems so
we'll to have been brought about.
Pigheadness is written emphatically
on the face of the stupid Dogberry. So,
too, Sir Toby shows a besstly heavi-
ness, born of his scottish habits. AS for
Malvolio, the vain, con cited, strutting
steward, if he be not Darwinically and
lineally descended from the genus
donkey his features, no less than his
words and actions, do certainly belle
him. And in the other picture the
ass head is titly applied to him who
should wear it, while we wonder at
the enchantment which Titania expe-
rienced when lavishing her tender Ca
resses on SO Coarse a head. Are there
not, however, many parallel cases of
such affinity in our day and genera
tion.--Annual of Phrenology and Phys
iOgnOmy.

No SOONER had the Congressional
Committee turned their steps from
New Orleans toward Washington, than
the White Leaguers began to badger
and bully those of the Conservatives
who had agreed to recognize Kellogg,
with the view of compelling them into
q surrender of their purpose. The spe-
cial correspondent of the Chicago Iri-
6atne states that leading White League
politician, and man of large influence
in Northern Louisiana, had openly de-
clared to him that the people of his
State would not be bound by the conf
promise, and did not wish to be tram
meled by one on the part of their Rep
resentatives or Senators. They would
not allow any appointee of Kellogg to
exercise any Office in that part of the
State, nor should any judge be allowed
to sit on the bench, nor any sheriff per-
mitted to execute writ5, except at the
point of United States bayoneis. This
rebel unquesticDably represents the
sentiments OF his people. Theyar de-
termined to inaugurate anarchy, and
no one is to be allowed to organize the
Republican party there, in the cam
paign of 1876. This is the programme,
and it constitutes the reason why they
are SO bitterly opposed to the compro-
mise, and so bent on fomenting discord
and rebellion Pitts. Com.

ALL people would undoubtedly pre-
fer a fine head of hair upon their own
heads, to being bald, or wearing false
hair, and it has been the stndy of ma
ny of our learned men to find a remedy
to restore the hair when it has fallen
out, and renew its color after it has be-
come gray. Such eunedy has been
found and is now offered to the world
under the name of HALLS VEGETA-
BILE SICILIAN HAIR REVIEWER; and,
to verify this statement, read the fol-
lowing:
This is to certify that 1 was very bald;
in fact, my head was perfectly smooth;
and it is common in my family to grow
bald early in life. 1 have now used
four bottles of Halls Vegetable Sicili-
an Hair Renewer; and the hair has
gaown out all over my head, and is
now natural brown.

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement.
Thousands are suddenly swept into
eternity by this fatal malady. This
disease generally has its origin in inn
pure blood filled with irritating, poi
sonous materials, which, circulating
through the heart, irritates its delicate
tissues. Though the irritation may at
first be only slight, producing little
palpitatiOn or irregular action, or dull, !,
heavy, or sharp darting pains, yet by
and BY the disease becomes firmly seat
ed, and Inflammation, or hypertrophy,
or thickening of the lining membrane
or of the valves, is produced. How
wise to early attention to case of this
kind. Unnatural thrObbing or pain in
the region of the hcart--shOuld admOn-
ish one that all is not right, and If you
would preserve it from further disease,
you must help it to beat rightly by the
use of such Il remedy as will remove
the cause of the trouble. Use DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery be-
fore the diease has boone seated, and
it will, by its great blood purifyidg and
wonderful regulating properties, effects
a perfect cure. 1t contains medical
properties which act specifically upon
the tissues of the heart, bringing about
a healthy action. Sold by all first-class
Druggists.

The Democratic Leaders.

Holman's finger traces, item by item,
the expenses of each appropriation bill,
and his querulous Il object is gra-
ting to every subsidy dreamer in the
main hall or lobby.
Beck does the Ajax business, battling
noisily but adequately, and holding
himself ready to rage against Choctaw
claimants or Texas Pacific schemers
by the hour if requisite. He is big,
honest and vociferous, and storms
probity into the suuls of his adversa-
ries.
Fernando Wood does the distinguish
ed genteel for his party, guiding IFS
more turbulent devotees into a sense
of the real power which lies behind a
perfect department. He is the quiet
advisor, and the courteous gad which
impels his more demonstrative asSoci-
ates to be both polite and domoniacal.
1t is at his residence the occasional as
semblages to glance at the chart of
progress, and which are the nearest ap-
proach to caucuses ofanything in which
the party members indulge.
Cox sits directly under Blaine's nose,
small, alert, and exasperating. The
Cox head is continually laid over on
one side like that of mischievOns ca
nary. The Cox ear-drum has the deli
cate tension Of weasel's. The Cox
fancy is exuberant in view of the pos
sibility that another year may see its
poSsessor in Blaine's chair, instead of
beneath Blaine's condescending gaze
and inc xorable hammer. The Cox fa-
miliarity with parliamentary .fnesse is
comprehensive. The Cox tongue is
studded with playful sense when it
licks the hand of friend, but with Ii
Cd bristles which draw blood when
passed across the skin of an enemy. His
is the part to poster, ridicule, and fiout;
to tug in the exhaustless array of dila-
tory rules and tricks when the Radical
majority grows spasmodically impul-
sive.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, jolly COM
panion and convivial good-fellow no
longer, has steadied himself to the line
of duty admirably this session. He is
staunch, and ready for brush at any
time with any or all of the Republi-
cans, and is the only man in the House
who aOiU have his say out, though
Blaine's mallet be playing the toughest
of admonitOry tattOOs. Randall is
good example, sticking himself clear
into the light OF day, that "a democrat
is not always Bourbon. He has no
regrets for the days when a Southern
gentleman might cut open the backs
of a dozen 'niggers' before breakfast,
just to give him keen appetite. The
rights of the colored citizens have been
defended with grace and discretion by
him on more than one occasion. As a
just tribute to their worth and gentle
ness as Sumner could have paid was
rendered by Randall in the last dis
cussion of the wretched Freedman's
bank business. But the sturdy Penn
sylvanian did not forget to lay in
number Of thumps against the white
Republican PecksniffS who had stolen
the money.-GIDEON, in ChicagoTimes.

The restoration of capital punish
ment is being very freely urged in the
Iowa press.
Another step forward. The Illinois
Legislature has passed a bill making
women eligible for notaries public.
The New York Legislature is doing
a good thing in making pawnbrokers
pay license of one thousand dollars.
The greed of gold. Petitions urging
Congress to make law opening the
Black Hills to settlement are in active
and successful circulation.
The Chicago Times thinks Tilton
ought to be satisfied. He wanted the
children clothed in calico, and now
they're in prints all over the country.

Farthing married a young girl whose
mother, although quite wealthy,

Canada, too, is going the way OF all
governments, increasing her debt aud
her expenditures more rapidly than
the growth of her population. ~ .-.
