wha. the Great Fish cultur.st Says !:
Last winter went to Florida and while there
contracted Malaria in a very severe form. When
1 returned home went to bed and remained there
until spring. My symptoms we're terrible. had
dull, aching pains in my head, limbs and around
my back. My appetite was wholly gone, and
felt lack of energy such as had often heard
described but had never experienced. Any one
who has ever had severe attack of Malari can
appreciate my condition. As l failed to get any
better 1 determined to try a remedy made by a
gentleman in whom had the greatest confidence.
am happy to say 1t effected permanent relief
and that am well to-day through the influence
of Warmers SAFE Cure. after such an exper-
fence can most heartily recommend it to all

Oh,MyBack!

That's a common express

meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

HOW "HAMLET" WAS WRIT.
TEN.
Dion Beucicault Gives an Inter.
viewer His Idea OF Shaks-
peAre's Methods.

Shakespeare was a working play
wright, and his dramas we're intended
for immediate production on the stage.
| have often wished l could find time
to write a description of the way in
which | imagine his Hamlet" was
produced. I've a notion it came about
something in this way: Business in
the theater was bad, and nothing
seemed to interest the audiences, SO
there was a consultation among the
managers and leading actors. One
suggested one thing and another an
other, but nothing met with unani-
nous appreciation. Suddenly Shaks.
peare, who had been puzzling over the
bad state Of affairs and the best way
out Of it, jumped up. Il have il" he
said. There's the old play of Ham.
let, which used to be favorite. It's
bit out of date and needs freshening up;
I'll take it home and see what can be
done with il" So he hunts up copy,
takes it away and goes to work upon
it with pen and scizzors. He is a
swift workman, and it is not long be-
fore he returns to the theater. The
parts are given out. Up comes the
actor who is cast as Polenius, See
here" he says to Shakespeare, you
have killed my part entirely. All the
speeches for which | used to get a
laugh or a round of applause, you
have cut clean out, and in their place
you have given me a lot Of moralizing
stuff that | never'll be able to 10 any
thing with. If you can't give me
something to get laugh with, won't
play the part, that's all. Well, Shaks-
peare argues, and shows how he has
changed tie nature of the character,
tries to prove to the actor that to
make POlonius a comic role would
destroy the design of the play in its
new form, and all that. But the actor
is stubborn and will not yield, and
Shakespeare, his patience utterly ex
hausted, says: well, have it your
own way and speak the old text, but
for heavens sake use mine in the first
act" This is settled upon, then, and
that is how PoloniOus, who in the first
act is dignitied and wise old gentle
man, giving Laertes the safest of ad-
vice, becomes . "wretched, rash, in
truding fool" thereafter until Hamlet
wisely kills him off. Then the man
who is to play the first grave digger,
seeing the success of his fellow actor,
comes up and stipulates that he shall
retain the comic business OF the old
play. Shakespeare, thus badgered.
yields again. Oh, ] can see it all, I'm
my minds eye, as plainly as if l had
been present. And | can trace out in
other Shakspearian plays evidences of
other changes similarly brought about.
Human nature is alike the world over,
aud was the same 10 the reign of good
Queen BeSs as 1t is now.

Genernl Trade,

The leading feature Of the past
week is a slight decline in all essen
tials, also a decline in the river all the
way down to below Helena, the total
fall at Cairo being 10 feet, and here 8
inches. The waters began to recede
here on Wednesday last, and by the
close Of another week it is expected
to be within its banks at ell points
above the mouth Of White riger. The
narrowing tales Of distress and desola-
ton, telegraphed over the country in
an exaggerated form, will within the
next week give place to industry and
vigorous efforts to plant the spring
crops. The value of meats is / to 30
