why Desdemona Loved OtheIlo.

Probably many lovers of Shakespeare have
wondered and still wonder how Desdemona
came to fall in love with 0thello He was a
Moor, perhaps negro, and regaled her with
blood-curdling stories that might have pro-
duced some effect upon small boys imagin-
alton, but hardly won the heart of a fair
maiden. Tho Shakspearean student of tho
Buffalo Courier has made careful study of the
text and finds that the secret is to be found
in that general expression, moving acci-
DENTS" used by Othello. "When he struck
the theme of moving accidents" says the
Courier, "she was right at home. There is n
subject about which every woman knows
something, and in regard to which
feminine sympathy is always ready.
When Othello told how he had skinned
his knuclkles in pulling up the car
pets, Desdemona doubtless gave him "a
world of signs , and when he described how
the piano slid on him as he was helping to
guide IL down the front steps, the poor girl
perhaps exclaimed, "Twas pitiful, twas won
drous pitiful ! and when he dwelt upon his
desperate struggle with the parlor stove and
gave the details of his triumph over the links
of rebellious pipe, what could she do but cry,
out, 'Twas strange, twas passing strange
These were the episodes that touched her
| heart, and as Othello in the course of his long
| and adventurous life had probably been u
| cartman or stevedore for few seasons, there
is reason to believe that he could tell them
with rare dramatic realism. 1t must have
| been after hearing the Moor recount his sue.
cess in conducting an unusually lively NOV.
| ing that BrabdntiO's daughter first made VI
| her mind to elope with him.

To tho pu.lno.. Men of washington.


In order that the unusual demand for adver-
tising space may not operate to tho exclusion
of any news from these pages during the
present week, THE REPUBLICAN will tempo
rarily enlarge its form, beginning to-morrcw
morning, by the addition of eight extra co..
umns. With this increased elbow room 1t is
hoped the unusual conditions of the week can
be successfully met.
The reunion of tho Army of tho Potomac
and the spring meeting of the Jockey club
will bring to the city an enormous number of
strangers, each one Of whom will expect and
intend to do more or loss buying during his
stay. large proportion Of our visitors will
come with the distinct purpose Of
combining the business of making
spring and summer purchases with
the pleasure of participating in the re-
union or attending the races. The mcr-
chants of Washington who have secured
places for their advertisements in THE RE-
PUBLICAN have shown their appreciation of
Nhb lVlNkohb lHdb buihC NlNlNlHB
buyers will expond their money in estab-
lishments that make themselves known
and invite custom in the most con-
spicuous possible manner 1t goes
without saying that Washington has
stores as fine and AS handsomely stocked
as those of any city in America, so that no
person having q desire to purchase need go
foot beyond the city lines TO buy whatever
he may be in quest Of 1t is no slight to the
sentimental side of such an affair as the ro-
union to call attention to this fact, nor is
there anything out of the way in any
merchant taking advantage of the occasion to
extend his connection or temporarily increase
the amount of his sales. The REPUBLICAN
therefore considers itself amply justified in
urging activity among the business men of
Washington, and in suggesting tho use of its
columns to the end that they may so we'll
profit by the weeks events as to incite efforts
toward attracting hither other gatherings in
the near future.

Gen. Duryee's Recollection OF What Oc-
CURED Thlrty-rour Years Ago To-day.
NetO York 7te7ran Of 7hRrsddv May 10.
"Isn't this one of your anniversary days?"
asked a Telegram reporter of Gen. Abram
Duryee this morning.
Let me think" responded the general,
looking at the reporter through his glasses.
"This is the tenth Of May"
Lord bless my heart 30 IL is, so II is"
observed the old soldier, warmly. az should
say it is one of my anniversary days. Thirty
four years ago to-day l commanded at tho
Battle of Atsor Place IA / expect history
will call IL. The trouble arose because of what
was believed to have been the Ill treatment
received by Edwin Forrest, the tragedian,
while in England. When w. G. Macready, the
English tragedian, camo to this country ana
his appearance at the Astor Place opera house
was sannounced AN immense faction declared he
should never be allowed to play. True to
their word, on the night of his first perform
anco, q wild mob filled the theater and sur
rounded IL, fully 10000 strong. / was then
In command of the Seventh regiment, and at
three o'clock in the afternoon i received or
ders to be ready to quell the expected riot at
the evening performance. BY six o'clock the
regiment had assembled in the armory. Iper-
sonally superintendcd the distribution Of am
munition to the men, and would like to take
occasion now to settle question in dispute in
this connection. There was not man in the
regiment in possession of blank cartridge on
that night, and any story TO the effect that
blank cartridge was used is purely fictitious.
We fired to hurt. Toward nino o'clock
We received orders to disperse the mob,
and by the time we reached Astor place
IL was fully that hour. Tho regiment
was as yet with empty guns, but whom | saw
what we had to deal with, the instant order
was close columns on masse and load Mt will.
Had it not been for this l verify believe tho
mob would have massacrod the whole regi-
ment. Their attack upon us was mt once
furious and determined, but VIC responded in
like measure. OF tho rioters 1874 were killed
outright and over 100 wounded. Several of
our boys received pistol shots and l43 wcro
wounded with stones and other missiles,
Thirty-two stand of arms were broken In the
hands Of our men, but the state replaced
them. | have always believed the firing on
that night was salutary lesson 10 the mob
spirit in this city"
This was in 1sio, and though the years
have left their mark on Gen. Duryee, he is to.
day as hearty as most men half his age.

gress in theinterost Of agricultural and manu-
featuring industry.
The war of factions within the republican
party has been fierce but not destructive.
The rivalry has not been as to what should be
done by the party, but as to who should lead
in the work. Any republican president would
be pledged to progress. Any democratic pres.
ident would be dragged into reactiouary
policy by his surroundings. The south of
twenty-five years ago is the political south of
to-day. The democracy of the north could
not resist its turbulent demands under dem
ocratic administration IL it would, and while
the spoils lasted it would not If 1t could. BY
all means let the issue for 1884 be the turning
out of tho republican party and the restor-
alton Of the southern bourbons.

Liuht Gold Coin.

AT tho annual assay of the coins Of the
United States held by the assay commission
ers in February last it was found that some
of tho gold coins issued from the Now Orleans
mint in jan, 1882, contained but s9S.93
of gold, being seven one-hundredths of one
thousand below the limit, and greater dcvia-
tion from the legal standard than is allowed
by Jaw. This fact was certified to the Presi-
of the treasury. Mr.. Snowden, superintend-
ent of the Philadelphia mint, was subse-
quently detailed to go to New Orleans to in
vestigate the matter and ascertain the cause
of the deficiency, and to report who was re-
sponsible for it, His report, which has just
been submitted, places the responsibility
upon the assayer of the New Orleans mint.
All the papers in tho case will be submitted
to the President for his action.

NeW TOrk Void


Henry J. Marriott, who was arrested Satur-
day evening, charged with stealing diamonds
valued at about $75, 900 from Franz, Kramer, of
No. Rue de 10 Paix, Paris, was taken to
supreme court chambers yesterday upon a
writ of habeas corpus. The motion for his
release was adjourned until to-day.
During the afternoon Marie Peseux, the
woman who came to this country with him,
accompanied by lady friend, called at the
court house to see Marriott, and rumor
soon prevailed that Marriott was about to
marry Miss Peseux. This rumor was soon
found to be correck and Judge Larremore was
requested to perform the ceremony. Marriott
and Miss Peseux, with her female companion
and several others, were taken to private
room, greatly to the disappointment of a
crowd of people who were anxious to witness
the ceremony, and there the necessary papers
were made out. Judge Larremore soon en-
tered the room and Marriott and his COM
panion stood up. Judge Larremore asked
them both their full names and ages, which
were given as Henry James Marriott, aged
twenty-seven years, of London. England,
salesman, and Marie Peseux, aged twenty
years, born in Bavaria, Germany. Judge
Larremoro asked them If there was any
reason why they should not be Joined to-
gether in marriage, or if either of them was
under any fear or duress which induced them
to be married and they both answered in the
negative. They then Joined hands and
Judge Larremore pronounced them man and
wife and wished them joy and happiness

A Possible EauIIIbration.

Mr. James E. sewell, a civil engineer,
writes to the New York Herald a kind Of
protest against the project now under consid-
GRAFTON by NJ. de Lesseps of making the
desert Of Sahara an inland sea. Mr.. Sewell
is gloomily apprehensive of unpleasant con-
sequences if this project is carried into effect
1.-THE depth of the desert below the level of
the ocean," he says, "is stated to be from 500
to 75o feet the area In square miles is over
two Millions and tho average depth is not
generally known. Suffice it to say, however,
that If such project should be started the
earth would no doubt bo thrown of its pres
ont balance and the surface of the waters TO
a certain extent, would bo changed in its
level, which could be ascertained with GER
tainty if tho actual size and depth could be
known; for if every grain Of sand removed
alters the balance of the world what would
this great change do2" Mr. Sewoll is unable
to calculate what the exact angle of the new
tip would be, but at an average guess he
locates the point of greatest difference in the
new water level at the Friendly islands.
Ut is not very likely that any such simple
change of wator-distribution would tip the
earth very far. But If IL should few things
would be more easy than to send some such
heavy calculator as Mr.. sewell down to the
Friendly. islands, and tip it back again.
