ShaLspcmre's Bdea Of Women and
me- yc.
John Weiss LCcture.l

John Weiss LcCture.l
A roomful of women served him as
we'll as a world foil. He needed not to
NOW prares of flowers to cram into that
limbee OF perfume to yield that priceless
otter which fills his works. Shakespeare
shows his characters in love as fresh and UNI
compromising as if they were in the infan-
cy Of the world. The nice combinations Of
the modern novelist were not then invent
ed. The botany Of emotion by which
men pluck herbariums from their mothers
graves was not then known. But the
verses that come from Juhps
lips do not scald like the innuendoes Of
modern novels The age quickened love
aud scorched pruriency, an age which
crushed the Amanda, asst were a cluster,
TO give new blood to England. Before
the gymnasium and the health-lift were
invented at the peeyish persuasion OF
dyspeptics and invalids, who die by inches
of fried food, tricasses of high school
programmes and ragouts of French
novels, Shakspeare's women earned their
health on horseback i'll the broad English
fields. They saw the sun rise, and could
not afford to Outtiare the setting crescent
with gas,Iight streaming from overheated
rooms. They drank small beer for
breakfast, and knew the taste of herrings.
Not one of Shakspcare's women uttered a
line inspired by hysteria. Their bodies
matured like nature, and became incapa-
bic of entertaining the great passion with
its own honest ardores. We seek these
Al 1
taxed with the strained rhetoric of later
writers. This oasis and deep well opens
in this siroco-burnt age. Since Shaks-
peare's time rhetoric has been slowly
raising its pitch. What pity some
master mind would not impose normal
pitch on the shrieking female voice of the
age, the new Calliope that goes by steam.
The gamut of feeling in Shakespeare
women is the pure octave :hat built the
English glee.

Representing, as we believe tiloS'
AGAINST whom the acts and resolutions
Of the Legislature were especially direct
ed, and knowing that the majority OF your
committee were appointed by those who
had already rendered judgment without
even a hearing, we were nevertheless
ready to appear before you, and refute
the CHARGES of which those whom we
represent had been adjudged guilty, by
the body FROM whom you derive your
authority.
You inform US that your "commlttee
feel competent to make the investigation
required" and "to do justice to ali par
ties"
That YOU cannot edo justice to all
parties" is apparent from the refusal,
which accompanies this remarkable
statement. That you are competent to
make the Investigation required" by
those who sent you here to collect in secret
session, e1 parte evidence to support the
unjust judgment, which they have al
ready rendered, we are not disposed to
deny.
Tie day has passed when political
partisans, relying upon the sympathy of
the people of the United States in all
efforts to protect the rights Of the colored
race, can, under the cover OF secret, IN
qusitoria examinations, misrepresent
the facts Of any case to the prejudice OF
the white race for the sole purpose OF
sustaining purely partizan measures.
Relying, therefore, upon the Con
gressi0nai Committee about to assemble,
for a fair opportunity to make our defense,
and protesting to the country at large
that no conclusion to which your course
of inquiry may lead can be accepted as a
Just and impartial Judgment i'll the prem
ises, we assign the following reasons for
our actions, and respectfully request that
the same, and our solemn protest against
your action now presented, may be made
a part Of the record Of the proceedings
of your honorable body:
! /. The citizens OF Warren county are
accused OF instruction against the lawful
authorities Of the State Government
you are commissioned to try this charge,
and the accusers are denied the right
either of being confronted by their ac-
cusers or Of being represented by counsel.
2. Your course in sitting with closed
doors, and in denying the right of the
people We represent to be present by
counsel, is calculated to suppress the
truth and encourage perjury and fraud,
and virtually constitutes your Committee
a secret, iDquisitorial commission, organ
lied to justify a judgment already re-
| corded. Respectfully,

The minority presented the following

COMMITTEE Rooms, Dec 80, 1874.
Col. . Gordon Adam and others
GENTLEMEN The undersigned men,
bers of the Joint committee of the Legis-
lature, appointed to investigate the af-
fairs of Warren county, think that your
demand to be represented by counsel be-
fore the committee is tminently Just, for
the reason that it is impossible for us,
knowing nothing of the details of the late
troubles and the causes which led TO the
same, to elicit, by cross-examnation, the
whole truth in the case, which we are
very DESTROYS should go TO the country.
Being, however, in minority, we are
powerless to grant the demand.

Constitution Changing i'm the
SOutll.

THE REPUBLIC MAGAZINE for May
publishes two important papers on the
Democratic movement now going on
in the South to remodel their State
Constitutions so as to defeat the objects
of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fiji
tt enth Amendments, and ignore the
reconstruction policy. AT the close of
the war and commencement OF the re-
construction of the States in rebellion,
it was necessary to make the new State
Constitutions conform to the changed
condition of affairs. 1t was also Obliga-
tory on each State to submit its new
Constitution to Congress for approval
or modification. Now, however, each
State may alter or remodel its COnsti-
tuition by Convention of the people,
and adopt the new instrument, without
Congress. The Democrats
are nov taking advantage OF this, and
are framing new State Constitutions to
suit their OWE peculiar views on the
race, school, State Sovereignty, and
other important questions. The danger
to the stability Of our institutions, grow
ing out of this movement, can scarcely
be overrated, as it indicates spirit and
the Inauguration of state of affairs
that can scarcely fail of resulting in an
other rebellion.

EXTRACT from letter from Mrs. j.
C. Aldrich, Wauseon, Fulton CO., 90:
"R.P. HALL & Co., Gentlemen-Please
send me one dozen bottles of your Sici
lian Hair Renewer. Our bald and
gray do not want t. be out. My moth
er is living Recommendation of the
results from the use of the Renewer,.
Being almost seventy years old, and
having worn wig over thirty years,
it seems miracle to those who have
known her so long so bald, and what
little hair she had being perfectly
white; now her wig thrown aside, he
hair grown out and a smooth glossy
brown as in girlhood. Hoping you
may long continue to pour blessings on
the heads of the afflicted, 1 remain
yours truly"
Such evidence, with the Endorsement
of the great chemists of New England,
DIR. a. A. Hayes and S. Dana Hayes,
should satisfy any one, which of the
preparation produce the best results.

We are glad to learn that our Towns

ment invented by him.
The night Mrs. CASTOR lay corpse,
and while kind friends were perform
ing the last sad Office of friendship by
watching the remains of their departed
friend, some person or persons entered
the cellar and carried off all the eata-
ble5 that could be found there. The
watchers heard a noise but supposed it
to be rats, not thinking that thieves
would take such time as that for
Stealing. We have since learned that
the same thing occurred the night Mrs.
Wright died. This is certainly new
dodge in stealing but we advise that
| it be not tried again in MOrristown for
there will not be much chance of escape
or much mercy shown, when they are
caught.

She had lived in the house i'm which
she died for over fifty years. Her sec

merly of Mt. Pleasant. Mrs. Hamilton
was the mother of James Drennen,
ESQ.,, of the o. V. Ners. The mere an
nOuncement of the death of this old
mother in Israel, 96 years old is enough
of itself to arrest attentiou-a centen-
fol nj hof n1 In
when this giant Empire of America
in primitive cradle of liberty. Nine
ty-six years ago! What mighty events
have crowded themselves into history
in the interim. Thrones demolished,
Kingdoms destroyed, Nations made
and unmade-the light OF civilization
spread far and wide where savage
beasts and still more savage men
rOamed at will. The grandest and best
government on earth established in
its manhood with a resistless power
for good, all-all done under the eye of
this good old mother. These old land
marks are fast passing away.
Last week A. j. Baggs of Bridge
port, s. Chamberlain President, Judge
Tyler Attorney, w. w. Gard Chief
Engineer. and Sup't. of Tuscarawas
Railroad, made trip by private con-
veyance to Uhrichsville with view of
personally inspecting the proposed
route or routes for this road. There
seems to be An air of sincerity and ear
nestness in these gentlemen that prom
ises fairly, and really We cannot see
why, unless insuperable difficulties su-
pervene, why this enterprise will not
be pushed to speedy completion. From
present appearances the prospect is en-
couraging. Different routes were taken
to Uhrichsville by these gentlemen,
but one opinion obtained Mt last, that
the immense mineral wealth along
each route spoke out loudly for transit
somewhere. All were astonished at
the mineral wealth everywhere exhib-
tied along the respective routes. The
party sep rated at Uhrichsville, the
railroad managers going Nraight to
Cleveland to meet the board of direc-
tors on Thursday last. On Saturday
last A. J. Baggs received a telegram
from Mr.. Card, the Engineer, at Cleve-
land, stating that he would be on this
week with a surveying corps. This
looks like business.
