and manhood life, but mark you,
| hear no wise sayings here that
refers to William Shakespear. His
associated fellows and neighbors
do not pass by tradition to US any
of his proverbial remarks, no say
ings of greatness fall to US from
his town folk. Is it possible that
the greatest mind of earth could
live in place among intelligent
people and leave no history of
great thoughts and words? Great
ness in tradition does not die and
leave no land mark in 800 years,
and | believe we only have positive
evidence that Shakespeare wrote
his name just once. On the other
hand the internal evidence of those
plays shows the most profound
wisdom craftsmanship and di-
plomacy. The writer shows him
self capable Of the highest diplom-
acy of his age. He knows state
secrets and how to receive and
dismiss national ambassadors, he
is aware of the intricacies of var
ious international laws. He wove
into the plays the traditional his
tory of law and custom, and the
very popularity of the different
methods IN each land. Surely a
man with little latin and less greek
and who never travelled nor studied
the courts of nations could not do
this. There are too many court
and state secrets woven into those
plays for any but a man versed in
diplomacy to write. Ignorance
never could have dealt with nation
al diplomacy so glibly and in such
an off hand, unstudied manner.
In the historical plays the very
wisdom of history is written and
could only come from a profound
scholar familiar with records and
the intended actions of Kings.
Various passages in Bacon's writ
ings are almost the exact express
sions which are found in these
plays. The writer of those plays
deals in the most profound philos-
ophy of any age. His knowledge
of medicine was marvellous; he
really seemed to know that the
blood circulated; he understood
we'll the traits of insanity and men
tai diseases; he possessed a vast
knowledge of various drugs, and
gave intelligent accounts of their
therapeutic action; he we'll knew
the ineficiency of "physic" and
often rediculed the physicians
weakness. But my letter is be-
coming too long. Whether Bacon
OF Shakespeare wrote these
Wonderous plays it makes but little
difference now that the treasure
has been given to us as common
property. We often hear the
praise of men go up to the great
Giver for good gifts. We are glad
for sunshine; our thanks are due
for the vernal season and blessing
of human intercourse. National
property and victorious warfare
are held as thankful trophies, but
we seldom hear the thanks of
praise for such a genius as Shake
speare. His genius has made
many victories over superstition
and blgotry. Shakespeare gave
great peace offering to the world
Of thought. The incense of his
thought will burn on the alters of
humanity while time shall last.

WHOLESALE RETRENCHMENT.

The last California Legislature
was Democratic, and. under the
Buckle. rule places were made
for everybody. The treasury was
Systematically robbed. This year
matters are changed with u Re
publican Legislature. The Bee
says:
The Republicans in the Senate
held another caucus last night
and it was continued until Learly
midnight. The watehword of re-
trenchment, sounded yesterday,
had gone out and the caucus
wrestled with the question with
more or less fury for four solid
hours. 1t looked for q time as il
personal preferences and friend
ships would defeat tho purposes
OF economy, but tho reform seni-
ment was too strong to be over
come. The result Of tho deiiber-
ations was a wholesome rescue Of
the treasury from the pillagers.
The Senate Committees viii be
cut down from thirty-eight 10
tN enty-seyen. The battalion Of
attaches Of the last session we're
reduced in number from AT to
about 20. This wholesale reform
alton fairly terrorized the place
hunters. A number Of them from
abroad left town by the first train
this morning.

MORNING APPEAL
BLIND TON DYING.

Inc news comes over the wire
that Blind Tom the negro musical
PRODIGY, has become hoplessly
idiotic and is dying a pauper.
b ind Tom was the most eX
traordinary puzzle to the musical
world tibet ever lived. In the
hurry burly of his mental make up
every faculty was dwaIfed to give
him the marvellous musical ear
that made him the wonder of the
two continents. He was totally
blind, almost idiotic and never
laugh music. He simply APP
peared a brutal negro, and was 30
wanting in intellect that he seem
ed but u small remove from
beast; yet with piano in front II
him he became it's superhuman
master.
No music ever written il once
executed in his hearing, presented
the slightest difficulty If execution.
It was as easy for him to execute
one OF Beethoven's symphonies as
to play "Pop goes the Weasel"
Let any of the great masters of
the piano improvise for hours and
he would Immediately repeat their
work, and il called on to repeat it
again a year afterwards he would
do so.
If the performer who executed
apiece of music touched false
note, Tom would in playing the
music repeat the false note.
He was at all times an imitator.
He had no more feeling when
playing the grand music Of ''Mes-
STA" than when playing yankee
Doodle"
He was to music what the ca M
era is to photography, repro
ducing everything with absolute
exactness.
III Rubenstine rendered long
and difficult piece of mu,ic, the
gifted negro rendered it with
every shade Of tone, every variation
Of feeling aid every delicacy Of
touch that characterized the work
Of Rubenstihe.
If Won Bulow played the same
piece he would reproduce Won
Bulow as accurately as he had the
other.
II a jumbled mass of discord
was produced by a hap hazard
dash OF the hands, he would
reproduce the same discords like
q flash and name each note touch
ed, although absolutely sightless.
An attempt was made to put
him forward as a composer, but it
is certain that he was unable to
compose anything. But after
hearing thunder storm he would
initiate it on the piano and almost
any souLd in nature he would re-
produce on the instrument.
No attempt was ever made to
see what he could do with any
thing beside the piano forte, and
it seems a pity that such was the
case.
He earned nearly q million dol
lars, and now when even the must
cal light of his strange brain is GO
ing out, the men who used him
for gain alone are leaving him to
starVe.

Interesting News.

Especial Correspondence to THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The fight
for the Speakership of the incoming
Democratic House of Representa-
tives has really begun, and the vari-
Gus candidates and their friends are
frequently seen here on the streets.
The favorite Southern candidate IS
Judge Crisp, IF Georgia. Roger Q.
Mills is regarded as unavailable by
the more conservative and practical
Democratic politicians. Hon. VIM.
l.. Wilson, the gifted young memb Der
from West Virginia, is considered
one of the strongest clark horses"
in the race. The able member fro N
the Forsyth District, Hon. A. Fl. 4 {.
Williams, is too clever a man and
too astute a politician to commit
himself to any one until after Con-
gress assemblies and the party caucus
acts. Then 'Baldy'' Williams can
be depended on to do what is wisest
for his State and constituents. He
has few superiors among his col
leagues, and all he needs is expert
ence.
1t is reported here that Captain
Armand De Rosset has done the
work of copying the North Carolina
tax lists SO well that he has been Civ
en- similar contract for Virgins, E,
Georgia and South Carolina.
By direction Of the Secretary of
War, Second Lieutenant John Lit
tie, 34th Infantry, Professor of Mill
tary Science and Tactics at the Bin
ham School, Orange county, N. c.,
will proceed to Asheviile, N. c., at
such time as may be necessary for
the purpose OF continuing his duties
in connection with the school. after
its removal to that place. I think if
Captain Davis would make applica-
ton through the proper channels he
could have West Point graduate
detailed for similar duty at his
school in your town.
Much interest is felt here in the
future Of the alleged young 'politi-
cal giant" born Friday at Cinci IL
natl and Immediately christened /:
''The Peoples Party OF the United
States Of America.' The safest po-
| litical prophets think the bantling
was born too soon, and that its de-
mise will occur before the campaign
+, of 1892. Ii is composed of too many
| heterogeneous parts, and while the
| platform on which it stands is good
enough, perhaps it is no better than
the one the full grown and healthy
| giant, known as the Democratic
party can and will frame at the
nominating convention and at the
| proper time. The Farmers ALI
| ance at the South will be found as
| usual, in the Democratic ranks When
| the fight comes off.

"that we are upon the threshold of a
gigantic crisis'' The gigantic crisis
has always been a few days in ad-
vance since Noah was a sailor. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. A.

a critical period of our country's
history, insisted that if any passen-
ger in the car had crisis concealed

Green b. Raum, Jr. son of the Com
missioner of Pensions and assistant
chief clerk in the Pension Bureau, has
resigned and his resignationhas been
accepted. For some time past ru-
mors affecting his official conduct
have found their way to Secretary
Noble, but not until just before his
departure for ST. Louis about a week
ago did he come into possession of
facts that would warrant him in tax
ing official action in the matter. He
then learned that the assistant chief
clerk had been party to certain ir-
regular and unlawful proceedings in
connection with three appointments
to minor positions in the Pension
Bureau. The temporary appropria-
tion to his own uses OF $72 belonging
to the Government is also charged
against him.
Young Raum was not inclined TO
meet the demand for his RESIGNATION,
but his father requested it of him and
the father himself took the sons res
ignation to the Department of Inte-
rior. Raum is charged with other
crookedness in connection with his
position and otherwise.
Ever since the old man Raum has
been in the Pension Office he has been
in trouble. He was first arraigned
himself on damaging charges in con-

Ground Froze 600 Feet Deep.

Imperial Academy of Sciences at
st. Petersburg sent representative
to Yakutsk with instructions to as
certain, if possible, how far the fro
zen soil extended toward the centre
of the earth at Yakutsk. The work
of digging was carried on until a
depth of 3S2 feet had been reached,
and then the scientific man gave up
the job. but carefully took the tenn
perature throughout the well. The
conclusion he reached was that va
kutsk stands upon ground which,
except for few feet at the surface
that are thawed out by the summer
sun. is perpetually frozen to a depth
of over GOO feet OF course, it can
not be supposed that frost pene-
trates the earth for that enormous
distance, and it is believed that in
the geological upbuilding of this re-
gion, layer after layer of the super
imposed mass was in its turn frozen,
and never had a chance to thaw out,
even when hidden by heavy blank
ct of rock above it.

Tho heavy imports of American
gold into Europe in general and Ger
many in particular have drawn the
attention of fnanciers in Germany
to the matter. Herr Blelchroder,
the we'll known banker, who shares
the Rothschilds' financial power on
the continent of Europe, in an inter-
view on the subject to-day with a
representative of the Associated
Press, said:
''All the gold coming here from
England or from France is reshipped
to Russia, which country has been
draining heavily from Berlin and
still heavier from London. In order
to protect the Bank of England, and
so as not to drain its resources,
American gold was called for, but
this was an Improbable transaction.
The gold was bought at a loss, it is
true, but we are willing to sacrifice
something. Had the Russian de
mand been met by the withdrawal
of gold from London and Berlin. the
rate of discount of the banks of thes e
cities must have risen six Or seven
per cent. Under the present state
Of affairs this would simply mean
ruin to thousands. We avoided it
by buying American gold.
