A Word To ReDOrtprs.

Some of the young men who write
for the newspapers Sin a reportorial
capacity" as they would say, should
take certain degree of intelligence in
their readers for granted. The bright
ornament of one of the New York pa
pers, who considered it necessary to
tell the public that boy who had lost
both father and mother was practical
ly an orphan" might just as we'll have
allowed that profound inference to be
made by others; and the young man Of
Milwaukee, who, but few days since,
volunteered the statement that it was
evidence that a certain person who shot
himself through the head and then
jumped into the river was bent on
suicide, might have saved himself the
trouble. The people who read the pa
pers to which these geniuSes are attach
ed may be dull-witted enough to need
assistance in drawing these conclusions,
but it is exceedingly doubtful whether
they like to have the fact made too
patent.-NelO York Graphic.

keeper, "but they do find out. Isome-
times think they have scouts watching
every avenue of approach, so as to be
sure and catch him. the news that
he has arrived seems to spread by tele-
graph, for the beggars gather instantly.
They hang around the corners, lounge
on the dOOrsteps, obstruct the door

times as many as twenty or thirty of

he has no regular time for visiting the

DR.. Schliemann has recently deliver
ed an interesting address before a

results of his labors. He said: 81 have

ages a great city stood on the plain

temples only, however, were at Hissar-
hk, while its lower quarters extended
in an eastern, southern and western
direction along the plateau denomin-
ated at a subsequent period Novum

spends exactly with the Homeric de-
scription of the sacred Ilios. | have
further demonstrated afresh that the
ruins on the Bah Dagh are compare
lively modern, and that the claims of
the latter to be regarded as the site of
the ancient Homeric Troy have utter
ly collapsed. | have further shown
that the layers of debris, which In
Hissarlik are sixteen meters deep, are
but very slight at five of the most
remarkable points on the Traos; where
the Oldest settlements appear to have
been situated. Moreover, sfrom my
researches in the graves of heroes, it is
apparent that the two tummul ascribed
by ancient tradition to Achilles and
Patrcclns must be several centuries
later than the Trojan war, while the
tumulus ascribed by tradition to Pro
tellaus belongs to the second period
that is, after the city of Troy had been
burned

S:hakesneare and lis Wife.

AS to Shakespeare's marriage of
Anne Hathaway when he was Is years
old and she &c, and the too early birth
OF her first child, Mr.. Halliwell-Phil-
lips stands up stoutly against any i'm
putation of culpable conduct on Shake
speare's part; and he shows beyond
reasonable DOUBT that a contract of
marriage in future was then regarded
rs to all intents and purposes a valid
marriage, so much so that 1t invali-
dated a marriage in violation OF such a
contract. He therefore resents a con-
clusion that would "taint the husband
with dishonOr;" and were these all the
facts, and were this the conclusion
from them, his position could be easily
maintained. But it is not the man
who in this case is tainted with dis
honor; rather the Woma2. When q
woman Of 26 (who is as old then
as ever she is) goes astray with a
boy Of Is, the less that is said
about her honor the better. And if we
look forward from this point to the
end of her married life, we find that
the facts are all against Anne Hatha-
way. For she rests under the silent
condemnation of the two men who, if
they had held her in high regard, must
have shown it-her father and her hus-
band The former passed her by with
out mention in his will, not leaving her
the slightest token of his love, even a
little keepsake, although he remem-
bered all his other children; and the
latter upon the like occasion did worse.
He, 4 man of large property for a per
son in his condition of life, left the
mother of his children nothing but his
Second best bed" But the mere fact
that of all his possessions he left her
only this slight legacy is not the most
important one In the consideration
of this question; for beds were
highly valued then. The really
significant fact in regard to Shake
speare's treatment Ofhis wife on this oc-
casion is that IL mis- will, which is a
long one and is filled with affectiOnate
remembrances of nephews and nieces
and friends, his wife's name does not
appear at all, except IN an interlinea-
ton. AS it was first drawn, although
with minute particularly, her name is
not even mentioned. The leaving her
even the bed on which she probably
slept was an after-thought. 1t has been
already remarked that we might put
up with a second best bed, "what shall
be done with second-best thoughts %
Moreover, it is to be said,-and Mr..
Halliwell-Phillips, with his character
istic candor, is the first TO say it-that
Shakespeare did not leave his wife any
rights in the home in which she lived.
His will gave her no right to remain in
their fine residence, New Place. 1t
would seem that, short of outspoken
condemnation, there could not be
graver reproach than Anne Hathaway
received, not only from her father but
from the distinguished man whom
when she was mature woman, she
had captured and led astray in his boy
