Cider.

In England the cider apple is princi-
pally grown in Herefordshire and
Deyenshire, and in portions of Glou-
cestershire, Monmouthshire, Worcester
shire, Dorsetshire, Somersetshire, and
CORNWALL; and, on the other side of the
British Channel, must be mentioned
Jersey, Normandy, and Brittany.
Many farmer counts, in a good year,
upon paying his rent by his cider har-
vest Although its value in relation to
other beverages is not great, it is aston
ishing how important factor it is in
successful flaming in those districts,
and what respectable piece de resis-
lance is good cellarful of this drink.
Throughout the Summer, but especial
ly in hay and harvest-time, the quanti-
ty consumed by the farm-laborer would
astonish the North-countryman or town
operative, it being considered nothing
unusual for him to dispose of his two
to three gallons in day; and the farm
er, his sons and his servants, and in
many cases his whole household, make
use of hardly any other drink through
out the year. If the farmers stock
runs dry in consequence of meager
harvest, he is Obliged to procure the
cider ut any price, for the laborers will
insist upon a regular allowance of their
favorite Refreshments. In some districts
the use of beer is gradually being sub
stituted in certain establishment for
that of cider; but this is not so much
to be regretted as the more baneful
consumption of cheap sprirituous
liquors Notwithstanding SO great a
consumption of what is sometimes not
much better than vinegar, cider-drink-
ing does not appear to be fraught with
any very serious results. At most of
the tables d. hote in Normandy and
Brittany decanters of cider are supplied
gratis; and the thirsty wayfarer need
only visit restaurateur to procure a
quart of that liquor for about 3 half
pence. He may sometimes chance to
have the produce of the first pressure
applied to the apples. and which the
grower calls gros cidre; but he is more
likely to have to content himself with
the second extract, Or petit cidre, a
watery, though still not quite innocu-
Gus liquid. Chambers Journal

The Two Hgmlets.

This, then, is the story of the two
Hamlets. Shakespeare in l599-1600
wrote his great tragedy, founding it
upon the plot of an old play known as
sfThe Revenge of Hamlet. Prince of
Denmark which itself was founded
on an old story told by Saxo Grammat-
icus. Shakspeare's play, produced in
1900, made such ;tn impression upon
gentle and simple, upon the highly ed
ucated classes rs we'll as upon the pub
lie in general, that it was acted not on
" ut London, but at Oxford and Cam
bridge, and elsewhere. There was an
eager desire to read it; but, according
to the custom of the day, the text was
jealously guarded by its theatrical pro-
prietors. Under these circumstances
piratical printer. named James Rob
erts, set himself to get for publication
a copy of this wonderful play, which
all the world was going to and talking
of; and naturally applying to the minor
actors of Shakspeare's company he
succeeded in corrupting the man who
played Voltimand, and inducing him
to undertake to get copy. He. how
ever, was able to get only fragments,
play he gave from memory; some he
stage copy and of actors parts; and all
this being still not enough, james Rob
erts had some of the play taken down
in shorthand during the performance,
which was very lamely done. Some
passages were taken from the old play
which had the same plot. This mass
of heterogeneous stuff, some OF it just
what the author wrote. but the greater
part of it what no dramatist ever wrote,
was pieced and patched together, and
hurriedly published. to the horror of
William Shakespeare, and so much to
the injury of the tragedy, as it was
thought, that ''true and perfect

at any time was heard on Shakespeare IS

The coPIoUs EXTRACTS from the London
press, which the cable has been burdened
with of late, ought to satisfy the New York
Times and Herald that they made no mis-
take in assailing the Blaine doctrine. The
Times and Herald being, as we have often
remarked British journals printed in New
York, are entitled to no little credit for
alertness in divining the policy of the gov
ernment whose transatlantic organs they
are.
1t is, however, becoming pretty well un.
derstOod that the Herald and Times repre-
sent no popular sentiment on this side of
the ocean, except that of the importing
merchants of New York city and the
agents of the English steamship lines which
transact what is sometimes called Ameri-
can commerce" 1t is to be expected that
an American mercantile community which
insists that foreign power ought to con-
troll the carrying trade would hold that the
same power ought to control likewise the
channels of commerce.
The mercantile community of New York
shed tears in 1776 at the thought of separa-
tion, and after being staunch Tories all
through the Revolution babe sad fare
well to Sir Henry Clinton in 1888. They
have meyer changed their minds.
The shme impulse that sends john Col
man every winter to Washington to in
struct the American Congress, Touching the
needs of American commerce, drives the
two great newspaper organs of this nest of
Tories to inveigh against the national and
patriotic policy of Mr.. Blaine.
A commerce without ships naturally
suggests diplomacy without vigor.
Whatever may be said of the lack of
patriotism, one cannot help recognizing the
plenitude Of consistency.
All this is no news to Mr.. Blaine He
allowed full discount upon the Anglo
mania of the New York importing mer-
chants when he adopted the policy indi-
Gated in his two circulars on the Isthmian
question, and put his trust in the stalwart
nationalsm of the millions of Americans
who do not import goods in British bottoms
Mt the port of New York. There need be
no doubt as to the final response Whether
the President and his new Premier adhere
to the path blazed by Mr.. Blaine or sue
cumb to the cowardly counses of the New
York importers, the final result will be the
same.
Mr.. Blaine has brushed away the cob
webs that had gathered about the State
Department under Fish and Evarts, arous-
ing in the length and breadth of the land a
spirit long dormant but never dead. lie
has shown to the world, and particularly
to Great Britain, that there are Americans
yet living who believe that the Declaration
of Independence was not made in fun. We
have reason to believe that be is willing to
stake his future upon that step and is not
at all worried about the disposition of his
enemies TO assail it. The New York Times
and Herald may be edited in Downing
street but the American Congress does not
as yet sit in Westminster.

IT HAS ALWAYS been II significant plat
form of Grantism to photograph and decry
the alarming condition of things at the
South, and we might add, without any
breach of the proprietics, that nothing else
has served to satisfy the North. These being
the facts, it is attracting some attention
that Mr.. Arthur has no more to say of the
South as particular section than he says
of the battle of Marathon. 1t is hardly pos
sible that the oversight could have been
accidental. 1t has probably been whis-
pered in the neighborhood of the White

to give it an occasional rest.
