The opening Of Mr.. Thomas W. Keene in
Richard III" tomorrow night at the New
California-the first of series of legitimate
performances by this now well yOuched for
actor-Sends one to the books again. 1t is
interesting to find how the general Shakes
pearean text has been tempered with by
playwrights and adaptors in successive
periods of the history of the English stage,
and that much of it accepted as the utter
anees of the bard himself are but interpola-
lions. This is particularly true of the
ttEsssedy we are invited TO witness at the New
California. Orchard ILL.," says Hazlitt,
may be considered as properly a stage
play. 1t belongs to the theater rather than
to the closet" latter Shakespeare's wor k
left the hands of Colley Cibberl. 1t is the
character in which Garriek came out; it was
the second character in which Mr.. Edmund
Kean appeared. and in which he acquired
his fame" Hazlitt thinks further that the
present version of Richard III, !" acted under
the sanction of Shskespeare's name. is "a
piece Of patchwork" manufactured by Glib
Der. "Some of the most important and
striking passages in the principal character
have been omitted to make room for idle
and misplaced extracts from other plays
the only intention of which seems to have
been to make the character of Richard as
OQIOuS and disgusting as uossiblR ~

Christian name of the organizer, and after
that they were called "peelers." because

Bethlehem.

An air of cheerfulness and brightness is

young Eothen of half century ago gives
playful description of his own delight in

girls upon his path in the little hill city of
the nativity; and one cannot but remem-
Der his words when the women flock out
to their doors-in greater numbers, surely,

Diamond Back Terrapin Come High.

A householder from Murray Hill made a
journey to Fulton market one day last
week in search of diamond back terrapin.
He learned there was none to be had.
"Then send me up half dozen of the
first that are brought in" said the Murray
Hill resident. "By the way, what are they
selling for now"
Sixty dollars dozen," replied the mar
ketman.
"Well, they are worth it," remarked the
epicure from uptown. Diamond backs
come high, but we must have them," and
he walked away.
IF it was 500 Dozen" said the market
man to a Tribune reporter who was stand
ing near, "people in this city would pay
that sum for diamond backs and never
grumble."
GLOW is it that the supply ever runs out
when the price is so high?" asked the re-
porter. ... ...
''Terrapin with the genuine diamond
shaped scales are not to be picked up like
CLANS at low tide said the dealer. Some
times they are not to be had at all. We
depend principally for our diamond backs
on the supply caught by fishermen in their
nets during the summer and kept over till
the winter market makes them valuable.
The fishermen build pens along the shore,
partly in the water and partly On the land,
into which they put the diamond backs
they haul up during the summer. These
they sell in the winter at a handsome fig
IRE. Then the old fishermen who are too
stiff and rheumatic TO follow their trade at
sea spend the fall and winter days putter-
ing along the shore, poking sticks down in
the sand to find the terrapin that crawl up
out of the sea at the approach of winter,
burrow in the sand and hibernate till
spring. These old fellows know by signs
just where to poke down in the sand for a
diamond back If they can find half a
dozen a week they have made good wages"

Soon long line of cavalry was crawling
along the road in the direction of Mud
spring.
. Who of all the soldiers who were on that
memorable field now remember the scenes
of carnage and death, the charges and
counter charges, the hairbreadth escapes of
bloody but fruitless fight? Who remem
bers the gallant charge of the til Ohio
on the Fourth Virginia, when it was nip
and tuck which of the splendid regiments
should reach the ford first? Those days
are long since passed
AT MUD CREEK
On swept the gallant til, the men
shouting, the horses dashing in wild dis
order, trampling those who fell beneath
their iron feet Sabers CLEANED in the
sunlight, carbines in hand, the men in bare
heads, with hair flying in wild disorder
each struggling to gain the first place
among the tangled mass as they flew to
ward the goal. The Virginia regiment,
cheered by some little encouragement,
makes half wheel and envelops the CD
posing force in their mad career Then, as
if by some hidden power, the Yankee regi
ment rises in its might, the Virginians are
flung back, the cheer dies away from their
lips and is taken up by the victors, and the
lines of each form and form again, only to
be again broken. Now it is victory for
friend; now for foe;, now the two lines be
come so thoroughly mixed that it is i'm
possible to tell which has the advantage:
but they diverge once more
See the little cluster of men who have
become separated from their companions
they are of both sides-how they run
their horses and fight with the saberl Their
carbines are empty 1t is hand to hand
combat, and the sides are equal in number
Bob Sykes is among Them so is Jim Dodd,
and now they have singled out their men.
1t is fight to the death. Bob has had one
man nearly endorsed, while Jim is flying
after another. They become separated
and are hid from view by copse of trees
enly to appear again. But where is Jim?
Bob has endorsed his man and brings him
in. But the enemy have gained the ford,
and the recall is sounded from our lines.
Gradually and reluctantly the purstiers
withdraw and the foe is left to himself
The affair of Mud Greek was over. 1t was
a victory. We had won the ground, but
alas! at what a price! The dead and dying
lie on every side, and Bob looks in vain for
his friend
In a shady little nook down by the creek
lies a body in the blue uniform of caval
ryman. A bullet wound marks his forehead,
and the body of poor Jim Dodd lies where
no friendly hand shall mark his grave
His name is dropped from the rolls, and on
the margin of the last report is written the
