The Two HamleIs..By Richard Grant
White.

This, then, is the story of the two
Hamlets. Shakespeare in 1599-16OO
wrote his great tragedy, founding it upon
the plot Of AZ old play known as The
Revenge of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, "
which itself was founded on an old story
told by SAKE Grammalicus. Shakes
peare's play, produced in 1000, made
such AN impression upon gentle and
simple. upon the highly educated
classes as we'll as upon the public in gen.
eral. that it was acted not only IN Lon
don, but at Oxford and Cambridge 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 proprietors. Under
these circumstances piratical printer
named James Roberts set himself to
get for publication q copy OF this won
derful play. which all the world was
going to and talking of; and naturally
applying to the minor actors in Shakes
peare's company, lie succeeded IN cor
rupting the man who played Wolff
msnd, and induced him to undertake
TO get a copy. He, however, was able
10 get only fragments, great and small.
Some parts OF the play he gave from
memory; some he got by surreptitious
examination of the stage copy and actors
parts. and all this being still not
enough, James Roberts had some Of
the play taken down in shorthand dur
ing the performance which was very
lamely done. Some passages were taken
from the old play. which had the same
plot. This mass Of h. trogeneous stuff.

was pieced and patched together, and
hurriedly published, much to the horror
Of William Shakespeare, and SO much to
the injury of the tragedy as it is thought,

inc much that never at any time was
heard on Shakspeare's stage was imme-
diately sent to the publisher. who soon
issued it cured and perfect in its limbs
and absolute in its members, - it had

A JUST TRIBUrE.-Senator voorhees,
delivered an eloquent address Mt Gar
field memorial meeting at Terre Haute,
Ind. last week. He said he had known
the late President eighteen years, had
served seven years in Congress with him,
and that the kindness of his nature and
his mental acti ity were his leading
traits. "There was, said Mr.. voorhees,,
"a light in his face, a chord in his voice.
and pressure in bis hand which were
full of love for his fellow-beings; he had
the Joyous spirits of boyhood end the
robust intellectually of manhood more
perfectly combined than any man ever
knew. Nature was bountiful to him and
his requirements were extensive and
solid. If 1 might make comparison l
would say that with the exception OF JEFF
ferson and John Quincy Adams he was
the most learned President in what is
written in books in the whole range of
American history"

to see him gasp, and breath return.
He was fully restored before the doc
tors left him.
A farmer named Mendenhall, re-
siding in Cecil county. in conversing
with neighbor a short time ago,
made some blasphemous expressions
in regard to dry weather and the
prospective failure of crops. and since
that day he has not uttered word.
DIR. Mearns was called in, but he
could discover no reason for the loss
of the power of speech, and appeared
to think that no physical disability
existed. 1t is thought by some of
his neighbors that remorse for his
profanity has led him to refrain from
the use of language that he so great
ly abused. In the meantime he at
tends to his farm as usual, making
his wishes known by signes and mo-
tions, and seems all right with the
exception of slight manifestation of
aversion towards certain members OF
his family that he formerly seemed
particularly fond of.

The millennium" Springs.

We are credibly informed that fiji.
teen miles northeast of here, on
Greasy Creek, one of the greatest and
most miraculous springs has recently
been discovered on record. We have
not been to see them, but our inform
ant-a good citizen and Baptist
preacher of celebriety-tells us what
he saw. Parson John r. Yeats was
at the spring last week, and he says
the spring flows from mountain
about 400 feet high, comes out OF the
ground about 100 feet frem the top of
the mountain on the north side, and
flows at the rate of about forty gal
Ions per minute, and il is of the color
of apple cider, and tastes just like APP
ple brandy and has the same effect.
Those under the influence Of the wa
ter are perfectly ecstatic, and hug
giDg and loving everything they
meet. He says: II never saw the
like-children and boys and girls
hugging and kissing every one they
meet. Old men and old women,
young men and you ladies, embraced
each other by hugging and kissing.
l met an old white-headed man and
woman-I suppose, about eighty
years old-and they were hopping
and skipping like lambs. l saw
hundreds lying around the spring so
drunk that they could not stand up,
and they were lying and laughing
and trying to slap their hands. The
people call them the Millennium
Springs. '-ArkdpSd State Gazette.

How Maryland is Kept in the Bour-
bon Ranks.

A correspondent of the New York
Times writing from Baltimore on
the false registration lists of that
city, says:
"Talk about Baltimore being well
governed! No city can be well gov
erned when the very foundation Of
the suffrages of its citizens is rotten
through and through. The elections
in Baltimore do not, and have not
for years past, expressed in any way
the will Of its people. They never
can until these lists are purged and
the ballots of legal voters alone are
received upon election days.
Efforts made from time to time to
secure the removal from the registra-
ton lists of the names which are
fraudulently upon them have so far
met only with failure. Democratic
Legislatures have biennially refused
to pass a registration law which shall
secure an honest ballot. But the
main fault as the hooks stand is
chargable to the Registers-thOse
now in office and their Democratic
the tools in the hands of their mas
tiers, the "bosses," who have used
them and their work to roll up Dem
ocratic majorities. Particular atten-
ton is being'directed to this subject
at present by the fact that the Demo-
cratic Governor of Maryland, the
Hon. William L. Hamilton, has call
ed number of these registration Off
GERS to account, and is now giving
them public trial, charging them
with malfeasance i'm Office and fail
ure to perform their duty. 1t has
been stated before in The Times that
there is war in the Democratic ranks
in Maryland. 1t began at the last
session of the Legislature, In 1891,
and grows warmer as the election
this Fall for the Legislature of 1882
draws near. The Governor leads one
faction, while the German-C Cotton
ring leads the other. Gov. Hamil-
ton is a good farmer, an honest man,
/ think, but petulant, easily excited
terribly profane when excited, and
not match for the shrewd Senator
German or the willy Police Commits
sioner Cotton. These Registers who
are now on trial before him are his
own appointments. Ho appointed
them when the breach between him
self and the "bosses" was not so wide
or so deep as it is at present, Many
of them were Registers at the time
of his election over the Republican
candidate, James A. Gary. a noteri-
ously fraudulent election in this city
as well as in the counties. Thus in a
measure he owes his election to their
work. Yet many of the Registers
are German or anti-Hamilton men,
and it is charged, with some degree
of FEASIBILITY, that the Governor has
entered upon these trials of the Reg
listers merely for the sake of making
political capital for his faction of the
party, mo Or e but Bourbon Demo-
crat can understand this kind of po-
litical capital.l and that should he re-
move some of the Registers, he would
supply their places by others not one
whit better, though Of his own polit-
ical stripe.
