indeed that the old fashioned family practi-

certain family once even with satisfaction,
they are measurably sure of being called

The Milwaukee Sentinel estimates that the
log-cut on the Wisconsin river and its tribu-
taries will be 40 per cent smaller this season
than it was last. Heavy rains have filled the
swamps and low lands, making it impossible
to locate camps and carry in supplies before
freezing weather. Wages are higher, feed
and supplies of all kinds are dearer aud of
poorer quality, and altogether the outlook is
reported to be discouraging and profitless.

Salvini on Shakspere.

In the first number of The Century Maya
zine date Scribner's) is a paper by Salvini,
entitled, 'Impressions Of some Shaks spcrean
Characters" in which are discussed the plays
of Hamlet, Macbeth and "Othello.' =
In his introduction he says;
The man above all others who has called
forth many and various opinions on his works
ON their literary merits as well as on the
right Interpretation of the different characters
which he so wonderfully painted and scup-
tured--is William Shakspere, name At
which my pen trembles in my hand, awed as
am by the reverence ! feel for such traI-
scendent genius But I am encouraged by
my great love for him. and for the sake OF
this may be pardoned if dare to make him
the interpreter of my thoughts who is the in.
exhaustible analyst Of the human heart, and
the most complete illustrator Of man, the
noblest work Of God.
The erroneous opinion is often expressed
that foreigners, unacquainted with the Eng
lish language, cannot rightly interpret the
works Of Shakespeare. Translations. doubt
less, are always inferior 10 the originals but
at the same time they are generally sufficient
y exact to afford the means of fully compre-
hendng the writer's thoughts and of ade-
quateiy interpreting and personating his
characters. BY laying the scenes Of his
dramas in Italy. Denmark, Scotland and
elsewhere. it would seem to have been the
intention of Shakespeare to render himself
cosmopolitan, as, indeed, he proses himself
to be. and thus to afford freedom to his illus
traitors in every nation TO interpret his person.
ages in accordance with the different customs
and sentiments Of the various peoples paint
ed by him in such splendid colors. Indeed,
had the English poet known the different
languages Of Europe, he would, doubtless.
have used the appropriate idioms Of each
character, and thus have given his compost
tioos the true local coloring.

The same authorsty speaking of

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, May IS, 1881.

WASHINGTON, May Is, 1881.
What is most ridiculous seems
most fitting to Republican action
just now, and the designations of
Senators Conklins and Platt does
not strike one who has watched the
cause of Republican Senators for
two months past as in any respect
strange. Their reelection or their
defeat would not surprise me. Their
party has been kept alive for years
upon the actual payment of money
for votes, the exchange of Offices Tor
influence, and an absurd affectation
of superior virtues. Senator Conk-
ling has seen his State, with an hon.
est majority of $4,000 for Hancock,
throw its electoral vote for Garfield,
and he knows the influences which
brought that result about, and he
thinks he is as much the master of
affairs now as when he traded with
his honest Democratic friends in
New York city six months ago. He
is clearly mistaken. He can ruin
the Republican party in the State OF
New York and in the country, but
at the beginning of an Administra-
ton, and against that Administration
he cannot control the party. In his
present strange fight with Garfield
and Blaine, he unquestionably has
the sympathy, Notwithstanding his
personal unpopularity of nearly
every Republican Senator. He will
get the votes of only three or four
on the Robertson nomination, how
ever. 1t is patronage that will beat
him, as it was simply patronage that
caused the final trouble after Gar
fields Inauguration. Of the final re-
suit of the quarrel there is, of course.
no uncertainty. An Administration
is strongest with its party the first
year, stronger in the second than in
the third and weakest in the fourth,
unless there is a chance that the
President shall be reelected. This

a DECISION of considerable interest
regarding taxi titles was lately rem
dered by Judge Greene in the case
off. A. Turner VS.. James Mcknight.
The court held that suit to recover
land sold for taxes must be begun
within three years after recording the
tax deed under the limitation of the
laws of this Territory. This decis-
ion confirms to Mr.. Mcknight in
this particular case 700 acres of land,
formerly the property of San Fran
cisco lawyer named ". H. Patter-
son, but bought at tax sale in 1871,
and recorded in 1874, 200 acres of
which land lies between Seattle and
Lake Washington. 1t also confirms
other purchases, amounting in tho
aggregate to many thousands of dol
lars in value. This decision upsets
the commonly accepted theory that a
title is not good. 1t is as good as
any other, three years after it is re-
corded.
