ing rise to a remark In the leading journal which
indicates how low dramatic criticism has de-
scended. "The acting" says the writer,
lis a matter of subordinate Importance in
The Winters Tale as at present produced" This
means, if it means anything that a manager who
produces play Of Shakespeare has done his whole
duty when he has turned it into a show piece. Ii
there are plenty of brilliant costumes, scenery

shrieking m8nades,. it is no matter whether

Pity that Shakespeare could not have fore
seen this. II would have saved him world of
trouble which be has bestowed on the text. on the
creation of characters on the dramatic structure of
his play, and so on. But Shakespeare lived q long
while ago. II could not be expected that he should

New-York tribune., 1878-10-16

THE TRIBUNE's exposure of the Democratic plot to
get the Presidency by bribery in three States, the
people will laugh at them II they talk about fraud,
and the party is so hopelessly divided the cur
rency question that the Democrat who takes de-
cded ground on either side in danger Of treading
on the toes Of some of his hearers. II the victory
went with plurality in this State as in Massachu-
setts, the Democrats would 20 10 the wall; as it is,
there is nothing left for them to do but to trade
with the Greenbackers, and that dangerous busi-
ness, although it seems to have been determined
upon. ~
The political prizes 70 be contended for in New
Hampshire this Fall are a Governor, a Legislature,
United States Senator in place of Mr. Wadleigh,
aud three Representatives IN Congress. Besides
this, If the Democrats should secure the Governor
and the Legislature, they could remove most Of the
State officers by address and Iedisrict the State
in such manner as TO enable them to carry the
Legislature in the future, even though the Repub-
licans had a majority of the popular votes. The
Greenbackers can accomplish nothing by them
selves, except, perhaps, to elect few members of
the Legislature, and the temptation for them to
trade with the Democrats is, therefore, very strong.
great variety of arrangements has been sug-
gested. One Of these rs that the Democratic vote
shall be thrown for the Greenback candidates for
act with the Democrats, giving the latter the Gov
ernoT, Legislature and United States Senator. An
other plan is for the Greenbackers to take the Sem
atOr and the Democrats all the rest of the spoils.
Any such arrangements as these, if made openly,
and several weeks in advance of the election, would
cause the certain defeat of the party in whose favor
they were cOntrved, while there would be great
danger that neither side could " deliver the goods
if the trade was made ct the last moment. The
mass of voters honest men. and don't like to feel
that they traded off like sheep by a few party
managers. In spite of tine difficulties of such bar
gains it must be confessed that there is great dan
ger that the Democratic aud Greenback vote will
be thrown for the candidates both in the pop
ular eectIop and in the Legislative contest that Is
likely to take place next Summer. If, therefore,
you hear, just before the election thata Democratic
candidate has withdrawn here, and Greenbacker
there, you will know what it means. z.L.w.

The Quaker'S Eggs.

A Quaker grocer in country village
became notorious for selling eggs. The
village gossips were ready to testify that
he bought large and fine looking eggs,
and where he could find so many small
sized eggs as he daily sent out to his Gus,
toners was a mystery they could not
fathom. There were two mysterious
holes in his counter about the size Of an
egg, and curiosity was excited to the
highest pitch to ascertain what use thew
were put to. The only answer any one
could get from the old man, when ques-
toned concerning the use Of these holes,
was:
"My friend, if / tell the truth, it
would not benefit me nor thee, and |
don't wish to tell falsehood. 1t is a
pity that lying is sin, for it comes so
easy in trade"
At last it was resolved by some of the
splnsters to watch his actions through
the cracks of his shutters, after he had
closed his shop for the night, and thus
endeavOr to find out their use. This
resolution was put into execution, and
the ladies caught the grocer passing eggs
through the holes by the light of penny
UP AL IIlOoC 1udG passed through the
smaller hole he placed in one basket, and
those that passed through the larger one
he placed in another; and all that would
not pass through either he placed in a
tin, and took them to his own house.
On his way thither he heard the rustling
of the wOmen's dresses, and he saw he
was caught; 50 he called them to him,
and in the blandest manner said: " Sis
tiers, We have given yourselves much
trouble to appease thy curiosity, and
will therefore explain all to We. Ye see,
l sort my eggs into three sizes by means
OF these holes. The largest use in my
own family; the next size | sell half

my neighbors, for cash; the smallest

than on credit"

a Sad Incident of the Fever.

A faithful nurse who had poisoned by
sheer accident patient in the St. Louis
female hospital, committed suicide last
Thursday night, after writing letter to
her mother and sister which cannot be
read without a heart-ache. Corrosive
sublimate was given to a young girl in
place Of solution of salts The nurse
could not account for her blunder and
could only repeat the words: " My God,
doctor, | did it. | alone am to blame.
| have killed her, ruined myself and
only hope it will not ruin you" She
watched beside the patient for several
days, frequently declaring that she would

last the terrOr-stricken nurse cried:
" Don't talk to me; Pm crazy" Within
an hour she was herself in the agony of
death, having taken large quantity of
carbolic acid. Among the last words
written to her home friends were these:
" My dears, if it is Gods will that she
must die, then | shall go with my victim
at the same time-life for life. This is
the way | may make atonement.

Autumn,

The first faint sweet breath of autumn
is stirring the tree tops. The foliage is
taking on rusty tinge. The fields are
browning fast. The full corn is ripen-
ing in the ear. Summer flowers have
had their day. and the golden rod and
aston, heralds of the fall, cluster thickly
by the roadsides. The skies are lower
and grayer. What song of birds or
chirp of crickets there be has melan-
choly sound The wind that rustles
through the leaves is singing the swan
song of the season. Before long the
foliage will put on the dolphin hues of
death. Then but little while and the
leaves will seek their graves in the ever
welcoming earth, always yearning +
shelter It's children in its bosom. There
must be something peculiarly worthy in
this summer to entitle it to its rest so
soon. Itseems but days ago, and few at
that, when we felt the eager, querulous
air of spring shared with all things about
us the impatient expectation of the sea
son. Now the fall feeling. half yearn-
ing, half regret, possesses us. We even
fancy we smell the faint odor of dead
autumn leaves-is it only fancy or that
fine imagination which is prophecy? The
stay of the summer seems briefer than
ever before. Has it been sol Or does
each year hasten its flight, warming US,
none too gently, of the fast-nearing day
when we, too, shall seek the bosom Of the
kindly earth, worn out with our toll on
our play, and thankful for rest?-Port.

Best Bats for Insects.
From the New York Tribune


Mr.. f. G. Carriere has lately been try
ing number of experiments on the best
bats for insect traps, and gives an ac-
count of them in the ReUue Horticole. A
number of glass fy-traps, filed with diff
ferent liquids, sweet and sour, were
placed under some fruit trees subject to
the attacks of flies and other insects.
The traps were baited with honey, weak
wine and water, beer and water, vinegar
and water, pure beer, pure wine, crushed
pears and water, and other liquids; then
the victims were counted, after the traps
had been exposed for three weeks, with
the following results: The trap contain
ing beer and water stood at the head,
and contained $50 flies and other insects :
pure beer stood next, with 631; the
crushed pears, weak wine and pure wine
coming next, pure honey being at the
bottom of the poll, with only seventeen
sufferers. No doubt the odor of the beer
and water, which was in strong state of
fermentation, had great deal to do with
attracting the insects.
