Talrnage Dancing Around Shahk'
spcarc.
saturday Review.l


DR.. Talmage's reflections at Stratford-
on-Avon are, perhaps, as valuable as any
thing else contained in the volume de-
voted to his life and works. Here" he
writes, "is the chair in which he Shak-
speare sat while presiding at the club,
forming habits of drink which killed him
at the last, his own life ending in a
tragedy as terrible as any he ever wrote,
Exeunt wine-bibbers, topers, grog-shop
keepers, Drayton, Ben. Jonson, and Will
lam Shakespeare"
DR.. Talmage's knowledge of Shak-
speare, his life and times, is evidently
profound; and we trust that he will at
once be made an honorary member Of
the New Shakespeare Society. But then,
DR.. Talmage, as we learn from the report
of a phrenologist who examined his
bumps, has altogether exceptional adj
vantages. "He has, as it We're. third
eye, and that spiritual one" and with
this eye he has, doubtless, seen things
about Shakespeare and other distinguished
persons which the two-eyed multitude
can not hope to perceive. "He has much
to think of and entertain himself with
when alone. \ = Imitation hel lps
him to adapt himself to any condition in
which he may be placed. NIirthfulness
is large, giving him keen
perception Of the witty, and after
looking through some of the specimens
of his oratory." we see no reason to doubt
that he can treason in such way as to
present the subject in the most absurd
light" 1t is pleasant to find that che is
disposed to keep time in music and step
in walking" but it is somewhat disap-
pointed to learn that Language is large,
but is scarcely equal to his mental con
ceptions." We may, however, console
ourselves with the final statement that,
Gas he is now organized, he prefers to
stand out alone by himself and to be un-
like anybody else" 1t may be hoped
that, if this condition of things is to be
changed, the change will not take place
in the human race at large.

The rumor last evening that the Dis
trict Court had decided the Hogan manda-
mus case caused considerable uneasiness to
Chief of Police Wappenstein. Hogan was
at the Democratic Convention last evening,
when the same report was also spread there.
Hogan was congratulated on all sides; but
1t is now ascertained that the rumor was
false. An attache of the Courthouse orig
mated the hoax.
A fire alarm was sounded from Box
249 at ILLS last night, caused by a small
blaze in Krumdick & Bros. carriage factory
on Seventh street, between Plum and Cen

French Literature.

There is a curious phenomenon in the
seventeenth-ccntury French literature.
At first it is immeasurably coarse and
nakedly prurient 1t is superiluous to
mention the names of those who CON
tributed to this epoch in Galican letters.
Shortly after the death of Henry " it
becomes more decent and more indecent
more decent in language, more indie
cent in suggestion. Coarse talk becomes
vulgar, licentious insinuation is the
fashion. Gradually the latter becomes
bad taste, and in the middle of the cen
tury old comedy dies out.
The plays of Moliere rarely contain a
passage which is in itself an ofense to
modern decency. The great work of
Sorel, which was in its first edition al
most brutal in its coarseness, was puri-
fed by the author in second edition,
which was published ten or fifteen years
later. The closest parallel which the
history Of literature can supply is that
between the plays of Aristophanes, the
only author left us of the old Attic
comedy, and Menander, or Plautus aud
Terence, the Latin translators of the
new, on the one hand, and the great
prose drama of Rabelais, as contrasted
with the comedy of manners which
Molicre founded, on the other.
The relation of the two epochs is pre-.
else. 1t is absurd to say that Rabelais
founded the modern comedy on the basis
of the Aristophanic license, or that
Mo1iara fronai b;o ,,lovu ~, +b, 1;oo-
which Plateus and Terence took from
the later Attic comedy. Both efforts were
spontaneous 1t is merely remarkable
that for once in the history of letters
genius ran in channels of almost iden-
tical form, though with very different
fnrre
