M. R. S. L. Mir. Leighton thinks shatShakespeare meant to haveHamlet consid- cred madman and exclaims: 'sMad? So only is Hamlet noble. If he is sham and cheat, debasing his' soul with lisB, tEanplingen the purest affections, sacrificing Ophelia's inno- cent life, let us tear from our hearts the fas- cination and glamour he has cast over us, and see him as he is, g cruel and ignoble plotter, who has not even the crown of suc- cess with which to hide the ugliness his un- feeling selfshness has stamped upon his brow" MT. Leigton's essay is very well worth reading. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 'iEmerson at Home and Abroad" :" by Mon cure Daniel Conway, is g very interest ing book. and though MT. Con- way does not explain Emerson he does make some points plain. As critic well says :: s'No one can read his account without seeing that Emerson did not derive his authority from any contribution which he made to human opinion. Had he done so, Mir. Con way, as his disciple, would be able to tell us what it was, or at any rate would endeavor dwells upon the beauty of Emerson's mind, he does not even himself appear to think that the sum of human knowledge was in any way increased by his speculations. His keenness of insight. his great range of sym- pathy, his delicacy of thought and express sion, his eloquence, are all dwelt upon but we are not shown how our way of looking at life, or man and his destiny, is to be in the future different from what it has always been because of his exercise of these facul- ties" Published by James R.

tion of knowing that if it does not help them it will not hurt them.

Register and ex-Senator Bruce has some views conce rning the political situation. He believes tha It the grand old Republican party, having pursyed itself, will again rally to vic tory in 1884, not on account of the 'tpoor colored man, :" for whom so nany crocodile tears have been shed, but to save the country and to maintain intact the problems and ques. tions which are settled, and to settle those as yet unsettled-any and all of which the Dem- ocracy has proved itself utterly incapable of doing. He was asked: Do you think the colored people are making any progress p and answered Most assuredly. The manly independence and self-reliance of the young colored men are in themselves signs of ad- vancement. As they imbibe liberal, pro- gressive ideas they must advance. Of course, among colored people as among white, we sometimes meet with leading men preaching the old doctrines of two decades. The rock in midocean may always stand ard brave ifs breast to the opposing waves, but the tide of progress will sweep on all the same"
 The Cincinnati Nesas does not believe that HANCOCK VIII D6 agaln QOm1naGoQ TOT the Presidency and 1t gives some interesting and forcible reasons for it's belief, as follows: It may be. remarked that lightning seldom strikes defeated candidates a second time. Mir. Tlden had the strongestca case any candi- date, who was not also President, ever brought before the American people to en- title him to second race, and the strongest card against him was that he had been a can didate and was not in the seat That idea of il luck and lost prestige was the hardest of all to overcome. There is another point: the Tilden men who were defeated are the stronger in their opinion that Hancock ought not to have been substituted for Mir. Tilden, that the substitution was, or seemed to be, proved blunder by the election. Still another point: General Haneocks idea that the tariff is loca issue is not the less absurd that by mockery of fate those Republicans and Democrats who laughed at him for it have been standing in Congress upon his letter and treating it, every fellow for himself and the devil for us all, as purely local ques- tion, for every neighborhood.

Shipbuilders and others are looking for ward with interest to the time when the new steamer Oregon will make her trial trip, which will be about midsummer. It is ex- peeted that she will excel in speed the fastest vessel now afoat. She will not be much larger than the Alaska, but her engines are to indicate no less than 13,OOO horse power. She will have but one screw. Steam will be supplied by twelve boilers, each with six furnaces. The Oregon will burn about twenty pounds of coal per square foot of grate per hour; her consumption in twenty four hours will not be much under 300 tons; and, allowing that each ton of coal evapor- ates nine tons of water. no less than 2,7OO tons of steam will pass through her engines every twenty y-four hours. The total weight of water evsperated on the run across the Atlantic will not be far short of three times that of the whole ships cargo, engines and all.
