,SHYLOCK AGAIN.
Tennyson

The elocutionist represents the famous
Insurer to have been man of excellent
physique, erect in form, free and vehe-
mont in gesture, having full and pow
erful voice, firm step, a flashing eye,
and the bearing of peer awed by nc
presence, defiant to the duke, dictate
rial to the judge, contemptuous toward
the spectators. The reader can verify
OF disprove this description by calling
to mind the personation.
Prof. Cnmnock is q man Of fine pres
ence, graceful in action and remarkable
in vocalization. These endowmepts and
qualities he unreservedly transfers to
Shylock, who exercises them all to the
fullest. We're we to see in pantomime
this figure, boldness, dash, and uncon-
cealed passion, before the play had pro-
crossed far enough to fully reveal the
plot, or to identify the character beyond
the possibility of doubt, we might con-
lecture that the parsonage before US was
some political offender, whom some
thought a patriot and others termed
traitor, pleading for his life or defending
his conduct or Catiline, hurting i'm
precautions and VOWS of vengeance at the
Conscript Fathers or the Bastard Faul
conbridge when he says
..Thou vert better gan the devil, Salisbury.
Il thou but frown on me, or stir thy foot,
~ IL, III loofx TO, Il
I'll strike thee dead. Put up thy sword betime,
Or I'll so maui you and your toasting =iroH.
That you shall think the devil is come from
hell
The action might suggest one of these,
or Of numerous other characters, but
Shylock-never. The mind cannot easi-
" associate such traits with the charac-
ter of miser, and Shylock is miser,
mar excellence. He is cruel, but his
cruelty is born of ava-ice, for by destroy
ing Antonio he sees his way clear to
greater gains. He is crafty, but that is
to be presumed from his origin and his
calling. He is a great miser, and around
this point his greatness centers. Except
in the pursuit of wealth, and of VEN
geanoe for the sake of wealth, he eXhib-
its no firmness Of resolution. He can
torture others, yet has no fortitude of
soul himself. He rants about creeds,
vet renources his own when his devotion
is put to the test. He rejects Bassan1o's
invitation, and after ward leaves home to
dine with him. When the court declares
his property confscated, he droops and
sickens and when Tubal tells him of
Jessica's expenditures, he cries out that
dagger is thrust into him. When he
is ordered to become a Christian, he
affirms himself contented convert. He
wishes his daughter dead at his feet,
that he may recover the treasure she
took from him. Wherein is he great,
except in greed Wherein is he other
than Prince of Misers, subordinating
all else to his thirst for golda

THE reading by John 1. d. Bristol,
last evening, at the M. E. Church, was
complete failure. The performance
was an insult to the intelligence of the
audience. Occasionally Mr.. Bristol
would render line or two we'll. He
would then break out into a ranting,
tragic tone that was very annoying. For
parlor performances he may do very
well, but as a public reader he isn't a
success. The managers of our course
of lectures should be more careful in
making their selections. ~

JOHN Roth, awaiting trial before the
Circuit Court for assault with intent to
kill, and confined in the county Jail, es-
capped from his cell during Monday
night by prying apart the bars in the
window, and has not since been heared
from. There seems to be no doubt but
what he received assistance from the
outside. Strong efforts are being made
to re-capture him.

Mr.. FL. f. HUBBARD, together with
Messrs. o. W. Graves, OF Green Bay,
and David Wright, of Madison, have
been spending a week at Jefferson, in
this State. investigating the affairs of
the Wisconsin Odd Fellows Mutual Life
Insurance Co., and it will be of interest
to those insured to know that these gen.
tlemen, after most careful examination
of the books of the Company from its
establishment to the present time, find
that every dollar received has been hon
estly and faithfully accounted for, and
that everything pertaining to the Com
pany is in the most satisfactory cond1-
ton. On the first day of October last
there were 5051 persons insured. The
annual premium on, taking an average
of all the full classes, is 1892 OIL 81 900.
The incidental expense of the Company
for the year ending October list, was
$4,000, or trihe less than 40 cents per
member, making the entire annual cost
of $1,000 policy $3.50, while there was
on October LIST, in the hands of the
Treasurer $4,000, mostly in U. 5.
bonds. The current expense of the
Company has been paid from the inter-
est account and general fund, no de-
mand having been made on the mem
bers of the Company for that purpose.
It has been determined to reduce the
permanent fund of each full class to
$1,000, and when by reason of member
ship fees and other accumulations, the
fund of class has reached $1,000, the
succeeding loss will be paid from that
fund and no assessment made. The
balance in the hands of the Treasurer
October LIST last, is being largely reduc-
ed in the payment of losses for the rea-
sons above stated, as at that date mos.
of the full classes had sums ranging from
81, 0C0 to S., 900 to their credit. Every
loss has been promptly paid. anu there
does not appear reason why this Com
pany should not be as useful in the
future as it has been for the last eight
years. The foregoing will show that
this insurance is offered at actual cost,
and that cost reduced tC the lowest cent
by the most rigid economy.

Well, / must close on this subject !; but, be-
fore close, permit me to urge 1t upon every
young man who has ever INDUCED in the
wicked and worthless habit of profanity, or
anything like 1t, to think seriously upon the
subject before he ever profanes the name of
his God, or wounds tho ears of his most re-
fined friends, or defiles the purity of our
beautiful English again. 1t is sin against
God, sin against man, and sin against the
chastity of language. Let 1t be viewed in its
proper light. Our Thoughts we should prize
too highly, and respect too deeply, to dcform
their dress with the deformity OF profanity,
or any other vugarism. We dress our bodies
with good care and taste we decorate and
adorn them. Are not our thoughts of much
more value Whatever adornments we may
give our physical bodies, let us not fail TO at
tire our thoughts in the most chaste and
tasteful garments, and adorn them with the
most refined beauties of language. Let us
adorn them with the beautiful words of chaste
and refined sentiments. S.P.

SMALL MEANs.-We think that the power
of money is, on the whole, overestimated. The
greatest things which were done for the
world, have not been accomplished by rich
men or by subscription, lists bat by men gen
orally of small pecuniary means. The greatest
thinkers, DISCOVERIES, inventors, and artists,
have been men of moderate wealth, many OF
them little raised above the condition Of man
ual laborers in point of worldly circumstan-
ces. And it win always be so. Riches arc
oftener an impeachment than stimulus of ac-
ton; and in many cases they are quite as
much misfortune as blessing. The youth
who inherits wealth is apt to have life made
too easy for him, and so grows stated with it
because he has nothing left to desire. Hav-
ing no special object to struggle for, he finds
time too heavy on his hands remains mental
ly and morally asleep, and his position in soci-
ETY. is often no higher than that of polypus
over which the tide floats.

NEYADA woND Err.

Pyramid lake is nearly forty miles in length
by from fifteen to twenty in width. 1t is "a
bout 1000 feet above the level of the sea-,
while Lake Tahoe is G ,216 feet above the sea
level. The lake contains many islands, sew
eral of which, near the middle of the lake,
rise to the height Of some hundreds of feet,
and are pyramidal in form and light gray in
color. One tall spire, seen far down to the
northward, where the lake seems shoreless, is
perfectly white. A large island, probably the
largest in the lake. contains five or six square
miles of comparatively level ground and is
covered with vegetation Upon this island
number of goats were turned loose some years
since, and they have increased at a wonderful
rate so that they may be seen feeding upon
every hill, They need no care winter or sum-
mer, and are about as wild as the goats found
by Robinson Crusoe on the island of Juan
Fernandez. The lake is of immense depth !;
it is said that near the center 600 fathoms of
line failed to reach bottom. The waters of
the lake are brackish, except Immediately "a

ee River flow into it,

its great depth, or to both depth and brack-
ishness, the lake never freezes.
Although the lake is generally very rough,
owing to It's being exposed to sweeping west
erly winds, the Piute Indians fearlessly nav-
gate it in all directions and almost at all times
nothing more than single bundle of tules,
but when the raft is intended to accommodate
more than one person two or three bundles
are dashed together and drawn into the shape
of a clumsy boat. Near shore they generally
pole these craft about, but they frequently
hoist sail made of blanket and fearlessly
stear away SO far out upon the lake that on
ly the sail remains visible.
These tule boats very closely resemble the
catamarans used by the natives of some of the
islands of the South Pacific. They are SO
buoyant that it is impossible to sink them. -
Far out in the lake among the islands they
set their long lines strung full of hooks. These
they visit on their RATS, and sometimes haul
in not less than three hundred pounds of
trout at one trip. The trout are sold at ten
cents per pound at the lake, therefore it will
readily be seen that fishing is a profitable
business.
At the north or lower end of the lake are
dozen or more islands of rock of peculiar aud
picturesque form. These are solid rock. and
are from 800 to 400 feet in height. At dis
lance they look like monster mushrooms or
eggs standing on stems-srch eggs as might
have been produced by the roc that bird of
ancient times, one wing of which, according
to Ibu-E Wardee, was 10000 fathoms long.
1t is impossible to climb these rocks, as,
while their stems form perpendicular walls, it
is beyond the power of man to ascend those
parts where they begin to swell out into domes.
Mr.. Stiles says he has sounded the lake at the
base of some of these fantastic islands, and,
with the longest line at hiscommand, was un-
able to find bottom
