THE TYRANNY OF SHAKESPEARE.

Perhaps the attacks on the literary
and moral records Of Shakespeare are
partly owing to q sense Of oppression
suffered by mankind under the weight
Of so tremendous an intellect. It is
an uncomfortable tyranny. There is no
escape from it: No matter in what di-
rection q new writer sallies forth, al
most always he discovers that this in
domitable mind has pushed its way
before him. Imagine, for instance,
the effect Of a consciousness Of this
upon our nineteenth century, writer's
Of tragedies. Tennyson knew we'll,
before essaying his latest work, that
the highest praise he could hope to
win was the praise Of even remote as
ISOLATION with "that high and sacred
name" A critic dares to suggestsuch
on association, and the world rises up
in rebuke. In vain the Spectator reviews
one Of Shakespeare's tragedies, points
out its weaknesses, and shows how
much more severe we are upon the
contemporary poet than upon the au-
thor Of Henry VIII. What does the
world care for Shakespeare faults! It
is Shakespeare thatit wants. --Scribner.

WOMEN'S AGES.

Helen Of Troy was Y e forty when
she --erpetrated the most famous
elopement on record, and, as the seige
Of Troy lasted q decade, she must have
been quite elderly when the i'll for
tune Of Paris restored her.t her hus-
band, who is reported to have received
her with unquestioning love and graft
tude. Pericles welded Aspasia when
she was thirty-six, and yet afterward,
for thirty years or more, held an un-
diminished reputation for beauty.
Cleopatra YVES past thirty when An
tonyfell under her spell, which never
lessened until her death, nearly ten
years after. Livia was thirty-three
when she won the heart OF Augustus,
over whom she maintained her as
tendency to the last. The extradrd-I
nary Diane de Poictiers was thirty
six when Henry II. Of France (then
Duke Of Orleans, and just half her
age) became attached to her, and she
was held as the first lady and most
beautiful woman at Court up to the
period of the monarch's death and Of
the accession to power Of Catherine OF
Medicis. Anne Of Austria was thirty
eight when she was the handsomest
queen Of Europe, and when Bucking-
ham and Richelieu were her jealous
admirers. Ninon de PEnclos, the
most celebrated wit and beauty Of her
day, was the idol Of three generations
Of the golden youth Of France, and
was sevcnty-two when the Able de
Bernis fell in love with her: A rare
combination Of culture, talents, and
personal attractions endowed their
possessor seemingly with the gifts Of
eternal youth: Blanca Capello was
thirty-eight when the Grand Duke
Francisco, Of Florence, fell captive to
her charms, and made her his wife,
though he was five years her junior.
Louis XIV. welded Nine. de Main
tenon when she was forty-three years
Of age. Catherine II. Of Russia, was
thirty-three when she seized the eln-
pire and captivated the dashing young
Orloff. Up to the time Of her death
lot sixty-seven) she seems to have re-
tanned the same bewitching powers,
for the lamentations were heartfelt
among all those who had ever known
her personally. Mdlle. Mar, the ira
gedienne, only attained the zenith Of
her beauty and power between forty
and forty-fve, when the loneliness Of
her hands and arms especially was
celebrated throughout Europe. Nine:
Recamer was thirty-eight when she
was, without dispute, declared to be
the most beautiful woman in Europe,
which rank she held for fifteen years..

The result OF the contest yesterday will be-

coed Democrats will acquiesce as the de-
clared will OF this city, which the delegates
from the country stand pledged to recognize
as q preferred claim to the candidate for the
Hovernorship. We have little doubt that the
ratification of this pledge will be made by the
convention lii spirit Of harmony and frater-
fernity that will insure the most splendid
sictory In the election of December which
the Democracy Of Louisiana have ever
achieved.
The DEMOCRAT may be excused for expert
encing feeling Of deep satisfaction ut the
result, which has 30 abundantly justified and
vindicated our course. We felt confident that
tho city Of his birth. the scene Of his lifelong
struggle for the Democracy and for good
government could not fail to set the seal Of
her appreciation on the brow OF Louis Alfred
