ator Of Illinois and Minnesota is said to be
living in abiect poverty OH a small farm in
Ohio. He is eightytwo years cid" The
above extraordinary paragraph is now on

truth in it, would at once excite the ma
tional sympathies in behalf Of this "abject
pauper."
1t so happens, however, that Gen, james
ShildS. the veteran referred to as now toll
ing on a small farm in Ohio at the age of
elghtytwo, was gathered to his iath RS
some years ago.
1t is true that Gen. Shields did do gallant
service in Mexico, and also in the civil
war; that he was for a short time governor
of Oregon Territory; that he was a United
States senator from Illinois and Minnesota,
and the writer of the above sketch might
have added Missouri, from which state he
filled out the unexpired term of Lewis V.
Bogy, and that he would be- if living,
eighty-two years old.

statement that this distinguished citizen,

John Webster's Genius.

there is something in Webster that
reminds me OF Victor Hugo. There is
the same confusion at times OF what
is big with what is great, the same
.fondness for the merely spectacular,
the same insensibllity to repulsive
details, the same Indifference to the
probable or even to the natural, the
same leaning towards the grotesque,
the same love OF effect at whatever
cost; and there is also the same impress
siveness of result, Whatever other
effect Webster may produce upon us,
he never leaves us indifferent. we
may blame, we may criticise, as much
as we will; we may say that all this
ghastliness is only a trick of theatric-
al blue-light; we shudder, and admire
nevertheless. We may say he is melo-
dramatic, that his figures are magic
lantern pictures that WAIVER and change
shape with q curtain on which they
are thrown; it matters not, he stirs us
with an emotion deeper than any
mere artifce could stir,-Harper's
