Shakespeare in French Politics.

An occurrence which happened during
the last representation of Hamlet at
the Theater FrancaiS In Paris caused
not a little stir and amusement among
literary circles. In the churchyard scene
Hamlet asks the gravedigger, How
long will a man lie in the earth ere he
rot?" The answer is: IF he be not rot
ten before he die, he will last you some
eight or nine years; a tanner will last
you nine years" Messrs. Dumas and
Meurice, the French translators of
Hamlet" render this: "a corpse may
last from three to eight years; a tanner
will last you seven" There was the rub
President Faure of France, whose trade
is that of a tanner, was elected for
term of seven years, time much too
long for his many adversaries. The
managers of the theater were afraid lest
the 1aSSage might arouse a demonstra-
ton. What a pity Shakespeare should
have mentioned a tanner in this re-
markable scene, and, still worse, how
annoying that Dumas, in 1S47, the year
of the first production of Hamlet in
his version, should have changed the
mine years. Of the original into "seven"
in order to fit his Alexandrine verses!
Finally the resolution was adopted for
altering seven to eight years. But
they had made their reckoning without
the actor. In the excitement of the play
he forgot the change of the text and
pronounced the fatal seven" 1t is

CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON.
The rlOst Efficient Man Ever Sent
From This State.
Nevada City Herald, Sept. 1Sth.)

Nevada City Herald, Sept. 1Sth)
1t will be safe for the voters of all par
ties in this State, in selecting candidates
to vote for at the coming election, to
vote against the men the San Francisco
Examiner" supports and for the ones
it is opposing. says the Bridgeport
"ChrOnicle- Union" 1t is most remark
able that the opinion of the Examiner"
of the character and fitness of Grove L.
Johnson to represent this Congressional
District another term in Congress is so
very different from that gentleman's
immediate constituency, he having re-
ceived the unanimous vote of his district
convention every county in his dis
trict having indorsed him for a re-elec
ton, and when it is notorious that Mr.
Johnson has been one of the most eff
cient and valuable Congressman ever
sent from this State, and his unanimous
nomination for reelection was a f1atter-
ing exhibit of the esteem in which he is
held by the people of this Congressional
District, and there is no doubt as to his
reelection by another immense major
ty. There can be no opposition to him
on the part of any Republican who fa-
vors silver coinage, as no one made a
better silver speech during the late ses-
SlOil VI 1UUSIGSS, pul Ilc 10 loO SOOO d
protectionist to desire to have our mints
coin the silver of the world free of cost
to foreign mine owners.
He worked zealously for the appropri-
ations for the improvement of our rivers
and harbors, and looked well to the in
terests of our entire State, and was ever
ready to attend to any business his con-
stituents required to be looked after in
any department of the Government.
His bill to restrict immigration to this
country merits the wishes of this State
and the country at large for his re-elec-
ton. His mastery speech in favor of
putting up the bars" and pulling in
the gang plank at Castle Garden"
brought him prominently before the
people of the East as a true American
and friend Of the laboring men of the
country who have had a scarcity of
dread and butter" through the con-
tinued influx of the contract and pau
per laborers of Europe. There having
been much said about his course on the
funding bill now before Congress. Mr..
Johnson has written a letter defining
his position on that question, and we
will publish it next week There prom
ises to be no change in the Republican
delegation to Congress from this State,
and this district should roll up ma
| jority for Grove l.. Johnson second to
no other in the State, as an evidence
that his work on behalf of the people is
fully appreciated by his constituency.
