This interesting and instructive prOduc-
ton was delivered by N Ballet, Jr.: The
authentic biography of the most famous
writer in English literature is very brief
Shakespeare was born on the 23d of April,
1854, at stratiord-upon-Ayon, in Warwick
shire, England. 1t appears that his ances-
tors were "of good figure and fashion" in
that town. Shakespeare had not the oppor-
tunity OF being educated as we have in our
day. He could not have derived the most
elementary instruction from his parents, for
neither Of them could write. But there ex-
isted at that Time "free grammar school"
This opportunity, together with the exten-
siye reading and with tho vague tradition
that he had been a country schoolmaster,
render IL more than probable that he enjoy
ed degree of culture higher than some
would give him credit for. He was more
full Of wisdom, ridcule and sagaclty than
all the moralsta and satirists that ever ex-
listed. He is more mild, airy aud inventive
and more pathetic aml fantastic than an tho
poets OF all regions and al ages Of the world
and has all these elements So mixed up in
him, and bears his high faculties so temper
ately that the most severe reader cannot
complain Of him for want Of strength or OF
reason, and the most sensitive for defect Of
ornament or ingenuity The works which
he nit ahow such stores Of knowledge, such

OF having been concerned in the tragedy.
There were great number Of stories ahoat

Hannah VIM in this city.
During the progress OF the trial Mr.. Will
hanson, of the counsel for the defendant, de-
sired to put in evidence tho record of the
Police court to show that Malinda the first
wife, was of a.quarrelsome turbulent dispusi.
ton.
The ChiefJustice declined to allow it on the
ground that it was case Of for better or fol
worse" aud by it they must abide.
Mr., Williamson said they thought that they
would be able to show that the prosecution
was "put-up job" His Honor replied that
If it was oonsummatcd by minister they
would probably find it very serious affair.
and one difficult to escape from.
The defense then raised the point that the
indictment was not good on the ground of Il
fatal variance in tho name of the second
woman. She was set down as Hannah VIM,
while her correct name WAS Wuynes. The
court declined to sustain the point.
His Honor ruled that it the parties married
in Virginia while both were slaves, at that
time il was invalid, but if after the legsla.
