THE REAL MAN.

THE REAL MAN.
HENRY THE FIFTH BY tho Rey. A. ,. Cnurch'
lemo. PIP. 1856. Macmillan & Co.
Henry the Fifth has q prescrpttve right to RANK
among English men Of action. His reign was short,
but full of work, and his military career approved
him q great captain. But the historian who under
takes 10 write his life at finds himself in com
petition with formidable rival. Truly does MI
Church observe that I" he who would draw portrait
of Prince Henry finds himself anticipated by tho
work OF a master hand, work done In coloS so
fresh and vivid. and with outlines so firm, that
rivalry Is hopeless. shakespeares Prince Hal' tho
reckless, brilliant lad. now bandying jests with
bulues and sots in city taverns leading his
troops TO victory on the hod Of Shrewsbury, Is one
of those creations Of genius which. be they true to
history or untrue, lose heir hold on the mlnds
of menn The worst Of this Is that the impressions
created by Shakespeare are in the main misieadins'
that so far as be asceftaned from contemporary
records the Prince Hap of Henry the Fourth j.
a fascinating fiction. Mr.. Church, however, has set
himself with steady courage to unrayel the romance
OF Henry the Fifth's youth, and with results which,
while they reconstruct tho Princes character very
much TO the advantage Of HIS moral reputation, tend
m reduce him TO the level Of commonplace virtue and
sobriety Of conduct
The neancboly truth seems to be that there never
vas Prince Hal" who registered 1t with boon COM
ns,,ons. took purses on oadshD struck Chief Jus
.,re tried on his fathers before the King was
aead fought and killed Hotspur, or did any OF the
interesting picturesque and wild deeds tradition and
shakespeare have attributed To him. AS TO Falstaa'
everybody knows that he was originally called Sir
Jobn odesstlc and that the character put upon that
knsht was cruel libel upon brave and distinguished
man. Between the billiard martyr and fat Jack
there was not single point of resemblance; nor, IN
deed. was there any between the real and tho stage
Sir John Falsta as Mr. Church does not fail 10 point
out shakespesre's Henry the Fifth" idealizes the
King. but II follows history with tolerable hdety
and probably 10 win always furnish tho popular con-
ception Of the man. The real Henry the Fifth, as
described In this monograph was In many respects
erest king but not the great king Of Shakespeare
AT the time at which the drsmatst represents him rs
consortng with Falstsff and his followers, Prince
HENRI was really guarding the Welsh marches Sighting
Owen GIsn6ower and tho other ubiquitous cimbrian
rebels and displaying, at an age when most boys are
school, many Of the qualities OF an experienced cap
tain. He was between fifteen and sixteen when biz
flasher gave him command over the welsh border, which
was chen dangerous and difficult post, and for several

contractor Lewman Says It VIII be
Finished by Christmas.
The new hotel is rapidly progressing. 1t
VIII be under roof in short time. About
70 hands are at work on it, and the roof
has already been finished over the dining
room. 1t viii be completed before any
other portion Of the structure. Contractor
Lewman said last night that he thought
That part Of the building will be finished in
Two months. When completed it will be
used to store the interior finishings. The
woodwork for the different rooms is being
made In New York aud is expected to ar
rive shortly. Ali the extension walls have
been finished. Gas fixtures are being put
IN, aud the plumbers are at work The
plumbing is being done by a Boston firm.
The metal work is made By a Louisville
Arm.
The second and third stories Of the dining
room wing are pretty well lathed and are
nearly ready for the plaster, which will be
put on as soon as the latning is finished A
Memphis firm has the contract for furnish
ing the wainscoting and other inside finish
ings. The sash and doors are in transit
from Michigan and are expected within the
next week. While the dining room is be-
ing pushed vigorously, work on TIE other
portion Of the structure is not being delayed.
The rafters over on the Bull street side
have been put up, and that part is nearly
ready for the boards. The sheathing will
be put on in a week or ten days. The
seventh story over the Liberty street en-
trance will be the last part of the roof
finished. Between sixty and seventy car
penters are at work and all the wood work
will be compile ed within five weeks.
Contractor Lewmaa expects everything
which will De used in the construction Of
the building in Savannah within the next
few weeks. In addition to the 225 work
men employed on the hotel, there are that
numbar who are at work on some parts of
1t which will be used in the construction.
The contractor said that the weather has
been most favorable to him during the last
six weeks. The excessive rain during
the fret few weeks delayed the work some,
but he has gained double the time by the dry
weather of late. Mr.. Lewman said that he has
experienced no trouble in getting as many
hands as he wanted. The attempt at a
strike, some time ago, did not in the least
discommode him. In ordering some of the
fails lings, which could have been as easily
made here, be placed the orders with north
ern firms because he anticipated a strike,
and for fear that the firms here, with whom
he would have placed the order, might ex-
perience some Inconvenience which would
have delayed HIM, he preferred not to incur
the risk, and gave the order to others firms.
As 1T is, he has not experienced the slightest
delay. and there is no good reason why a
delay should occur before the structure is
completed. The De Soto, Mr. Lewman
said, will surely be completed by Dec. rs.
the time agreed upon.
