CONCERNING DoNNELLY.

Ignatius Donnelly attempted to get into the
United States senate, but the Shakespearean stu
dents arose in wave OF wrath and defeated him.
II Mr.. Donnely's genius were half so broad as his
industry he might, without impudence, claim
ascendency over the great man whose immortality
he has attempted to despofl. But, unfortunately
for Mr.. Donnelly, he is iconoclast without
creative ability man who can tear down a pal
ace, but who cannot build a corn-crib. At one
time ii was thought that Donnelly's book would be
great success. Several Englishmen who laid
claim to distinction declared the "Cyphergram"
to be a work of great insight, but careful exami-
nation by less excitable men showed it to be not
only weak, but nonsensical.
1t is unfortunate that some of Shakespeare's con-
temporaries did not give sketch of his life That
they did not however, is perfectly natural Shakes
peare during his life, was not regarded as q great
man. In fact, he was not looked upon as a great
poet until Dryden proclaimed him master of
verse; 1t is easy for the half-educated man to say
that Shakespeare did not write the plays that are
attributed to him. 1t would be equally easy to
say that Burns unacquainted with the college, did
not write some of the finest verses that are accred
tied to him.
The greatest poets, it seems are doomed to be
obscure so far history of their lives is concerned
This is easily accounted for. Poets, a rule, are
not great until many years after they have passed
away from the scene Of their work. The obscure
of to- day may be great to posterity; the great
man of to- day may be forgotten when few years
have rolled away.
Ignatius Donnelly has one merit He has deep
seated admiration for the Shakespearean plays. The
man who loves Shakespeare is never a fool. He
may be rascal, but he knows beauty; he may be a
crank, but his mind knows liberality.

PAPER is KING.
Facts that Show the Approach of a
Paper Age.


Paper Age.
We live In paper houses, wear pa
per clothing and siton psper cush +
ions on paper wheels. We do n
paper business over n paper counter,
buying paper goods, paying with pa.
per money or charging them up IN
paper hooks, and deal in paper mar
gins. We row races In paper boats
for paper prizes. We go to paper
theslers, where paper actors play to
paper audiences.
AS the age develops, the coming
mau will be more deeply immeshed in
the paper net. He will wake Ia the
morning and creep from under the
paper clothing on his paper bed and
put on his paper gown and paper
slippers. He will walk over paper
carpets, down paper stairs, read the
paper news IN tho morning paper.
A paper bell will call him to his
breakfast, cooked in a paper oven,
served on paper dishes, laid on a pa
per cloth on paper table. He will
wipe his lips with paper napkin,
and having put ON his paper shoes,
paper hat and paper coat and taken
his paper cane, he will walk on
paper, pavement or ride in u paper
carriage to hislpsper office.
He will organize paper enterprises
and make paper profits. lie will 20
to Europe on paper steamships and
navigate the air in paper balloons. lie
will smoke paper tobacco in a pipe,
lighted with a paper match. He
will write with paper pencil, whit
tie paper sticks with a paper knife,
90 fishing with paper rod, paper
hook, aud put his fish in paper
basket. lie will go shooting with q
paper gun, loaded with paper cart
ridges, and defend his country with
paper forts, with paper cannon and
aud paper bombs. Having lived his
paper life and achieved fame aud 4
paper wealth, he will retire to paper
leisure and die in paper peace.
There will be paper funeral, at
which the mourners, dressed in pa
per Grape, will wipe their eyes with
paper hankerchiefs, aud paper
preacher will preach paper sermon
In paper pulpit from paper text
He will lie In paper coffin, wrapped
IN paper shroud,his name will be
on paper plate, and Il paper
learse adorned with paper plumes,
will carry him to paper-lined grave,
'ver which will be raised q paper
monument.

didate by the line for "locsls" that

instance, in the very issue of the
Greensboro Messenger before us there
are no less than nine patent medicine
locals in the editorial columns.
Some Of these sure cures for catarrh,
consumption and other incurable
diseases are editorially endorsed by
the Messenger in the most unquali-
fed terms, the advertisements being
unmarked in any way TO distinguish
them from the editorial matter be-
fore and after them. Surely Brother
Woodson has not entered into cor

of Smith's Iron Bitters :? Aud yet the
Messenger has sold to them, to use his
own language, "the expressions Of its

constantly "run in" editorially such
