Dr. Thompson of Melbourne, points ml tliiit the lir<l to ratse tlie question «r»8 Horace Wnlp"l«, in his "Historic Doubt*." Mr. 8|wdding, tlie writer of Kaeon's ite, as curly as Febni-iry, 1852, piiniinl a paper, " Wlio Wrote Kliakcspt-re's Henry VIII ?" tracinjjsign»4if two hands n the play.

" and arrived at the conclu- sion tlmt William Sbakesfter^ kept apoet. Neither of these writers suggested any claimant for the honors in Shakespere's il ice. Ii w.-is reserved for ii Utly, an Atneri- C*n laily. Ml3S Delia Huron, four yiais •iter, to liist propound the theory, in a uper pnhlinhed in l'ulntim'« American Mti'zui', in 1 t~t •"> t >. that Lorj Bacon, her nainoakc I y coincidence^ was the Shake- spi'li' walilcd.

She returned to her own Country and soon ulterwards died, disap- pointed ami broken-hearted, Her book 8 full of knowledge mid thought, but is so nivst cal, olncii re and allusive that few people have ever managed to read it horoiiL'hly. [II September, 185U, an Englishman, Mr. Win. 11 Smith, who bad not heard if Miss Delia J5acon, appeared on the leld with hU pamphlet, entitled, " Was Lord Bacon the Author of Shakespere's aybT"—a letter to Lord Ellesmere, in which the B icon inn theory was plainly iid down and maintained—and tlie next vear published a hook on the subject. This book made a covert of Lord I'aliuer- St'Ul. In 1S62, Judjje Holmes, then residing n St. Louis, In his book, "The Author- ship ot Shakespere," lirst pointed out in ^lut a number of coincidences or IdeD- ,ities of thought and language between ;he two writer', B.icni and Shakispere, and expreWfd his clear opinion that Shakespeare, as a dramatist, could have ii'cn cone other ihaii Bacon in disguise. In 18S0, Dr. Tnoinp-on, Of Melbourne, n his ••The lien iscence Drami, or His- oiy in iilr V'i-ihle,'" prcsenied an HCCII- nulation of fact and argument in favor >l llie Bneoniau theory. In Issl, .Mi. Appletou Morgan, a law- yer, published at Cincinnati, a book, The Shakespeare Myte," In which he staled the Strong Clruunwtantlal evidence g.iin-t the Shakespearean authorship of the Plays. His theory was that they were the workof Lord Bacon, Sir Walter Italelgh, and other.-". The latest publications on the subject lave been by Mis. Henry Pr.tt. The idea of the .Baconian authorship of the Plays of Shakespeare presented itself to ier mind independently about twenty years ajjo. The belief came to her from the coincidence of her equal taste for both the great authors, Huon and Shake- ipeare, and the fact that the more sdie read them, tlie more the identities of the authors' minds and ideas protruded themselves from their writing! and im- pressed themsc lv>s on her mind. Latterly the subject has been extensive- ly discussed. Up to April, 1884, no legs than 2M> b mk-, painph'e's anil articles have been piibli-hed on the subject, of which 70 were English, ltil American, 10 Australian, 4 Scotch, 3 Canadian, 2 German, '2 French, 1 Indian, 1 Italian and 1 Dutch. This list will soon be aug minted into the publication of "The Great Cryptogram," by Ignatius Donnel- ly, who is recognized to-day as the most eminent of the Baconians, and who makes the startling announcement tlmt he has discovered in the Plays them- selves, in the lirst collected edition of them, the Folio ot H'SU, a curiously in- folded cipher narrative whicli lie claims will forever settle the controversy. The incidents and associations in the life and career of Francis Bacon stand out in remarkable contrast to those of Shakespeare, and tit fir better one's no- li. >n of those required to form and mold the character of a man callable of being the author of theJPIayn. Bacon was born in 15G1, three years before Shakespeare, at York House, Strand, son of Sir Nicholas Bicon, lord treasurer, and Lady Ann Bacon. It's said that men are what their mothers make them. Lady Ann was the dauish terof Sir Anthony Cooke, tutor to hd- ward VI, a lady o«•operlor-learnldg and attainments. She was well read In the classics corresponded with Arch- bishop Jewell In Greek, and translated Into Bngtlth from tbe Italian some owl theological works. In boyhood, Bacon, intelligent beyond hit years, exhibits early a quick observa tion, love ot nature and curiosity aboul physical facts. Introduced In cliildhooi iuto the highest and most intellectua society, his readiness and wit attract at- tention. Queen Elizabeth notices hip and calls him her young lord keeper He outstrips his tutor at home, and is sent at the early age of twelve to join his brother, Anthony, two years his senior, at Trinity College, Cambrige. Whilst at Cambridge it is said that he ran throughout "the whole circle of the liberal arts," but left Cambridge without taking his degree, dissatisfied, it is said, with the methods of study he found there. Sent at seventeen, as an attache to the court of France, he travels in the wake of the court through the provinces which are the scenes of 1st Henry VI., learning French, Italian and Spatiiuh, and study- ing foreign policy. V\h;n he is eighteen his father die!", eaviug him badly off; he is driven against his inclination to the profession of the law. Meanwhile he resides with liis mother at. Gorhainbnry, St. Aluans, the scene of 2d Henry VI. His brother Anthony, at this time, goes to Italy and resides there for thir- een > ears. The coireKpondence between Ii3 brothers concerning Anthony's travels and vxpenence* in Italy are be- iereil by liicoiiiins to have suggested the scenes and particulars in the plays of :he second period. At twenty one Francis is called to the r. Little is now heard of him except that lie remains studying at Gray's Inn visiting his mother at Gi>rhambui v ; not 'oving his luw studies, but laboring dog- jeiily iitthein, anil pinking himself mn* ier of the suhjed, his hours of recreation spent in literary and fjtiiIo^<>j• }jt.• pur Miiis. T<> tliis period Bacouiuns aUribul'- skeiches of several of the pluvs after- wards produced. His studies and occupations continue n be nnteiniinerativi; lie fall* into debt; ippeals to those in power to (five him work whicli will eniihle him to live a- a ciitleman and afford him congenial oc- cupation. In 158G, when only twenty-five years old, be is nude a bencher of Gray's Inn. liis late hours, mysterious occupations mil studious seclusion are invidiously loinmented on by his mother. In loST, when he is twenty-six, his dra- n I'ic inclinations show themselves. He assists in getting up the Gray's Inn revels, ;he presentation on the stage of The tragedy of Arthur, and some masques, jei formed before Queen Elizabeth. At twenty-seven he is elected M. P. for Liverpool; for several years after this a irielless barrister, with much time at his lisposal, which Baconians think that he iccupied In sketching the plays and the sonnets which are supposed to have been written about this time, and in acquiring the knowledge and erudition necessary ; or the production of them and his rrcater prose works. The beyiuninsr of 1592 finds Anthony returning to Engbind, residing with Francis in Chambers, the two brothers dlilUug their duties of secretaries to the Earl of Essex; their salaries unpaid. Francis era(mr<>»9ed for want of money, s foiced to get help from the Jews; later in; actually cist into a sponging house by a " hard .Few " on account of a bond debt. Anthony, on returning from ibroad, finding his brother thus distress- ed, mortgages his property to pay his irorher's debts and pledges his own credit to relieve him. Baconians believe that The Merchant of Venice derives its origin from these episodes, tlmt In Khylock Bacon iuinior- alized the " hard Jew," and in Antonio • is own generous ami unselfish brother Anthony. In 1592-3 the poem, Venus and Adonis, o which I have referred, Is published with a dedication, and given bv Shake- speare to Bacon's young friend, Lord Southampton. Bacon afterwards be- •iime alienated from Southampton on the score of his disloyalty. When the poem was republished the dedication to South- lamptou was omitted. In the autumn of this year, li>93, the 'lagtie breaks out in London ; Bacon suspends his lectures in Gray's Inn and removes to Twickenham Park. In 1594 we find him taking a leading mrt in a grand dramatic entertainment it Gray's Inn. Anthony, about this time, eaves his brother and goes to live near he Bull Inn, in Bishopsgatestreet, where ten or twelve ot the Shakespeare plays were acted. In 1595, on his soliciting the office of attorney or solicitorgenernl, he is passed over, and retires, much hurt, to Twick- nham. About this time he makes the follow- ng entry in his private collection of lotes (Promus Note 1180), "Law at Twickenham for merry tales." The merry tales for which he was thus jreparing are believed to have been some it those plays (especially The Taming ot he Shrew, Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice, 2d Henry IV., ind Alls Well That End-* Well) soon to appear, full of legal points and allusions which so much exercised the mind of Lord Campbell. Bacon's life is now retired and private ; his time and attention are mainly devot- •d to philosophical and literaly work. The plays appe.ir at intervals, and con- tlnuu to do so during the next twelve years. la a letter of about this date to his in- timate and confidential friend, Sir Tobby Matthew, B icon, whilst alluding by name to eeitain of his own published works, apuka of his " other works," works of his recreation." He also writes " Those other works of the alpha- bet are, in uiy opinion, of less value where you now are than at Paris, but in regard "that some friends of yours have still uieL-ited, I send them to you." "What these works of the alphabet may have been," says Spedding, Hacon's biographer, "I cannot tell, unless they related to Bacon's cipher," In 1623, Bacon writes to Sir T. Matthew about " putting the alphabet in a frame;" if this was tucir cipher, the frame was the lu'&J Folio. Such enigmatical talk between two fricuds ii evidence that they were both interested in some secret which they would not openly refer to. In 1000 .Bacon writes, speaking of his mother at Gorhatnbury and of Ills desire to keep her from anxiety, her health be- ing very worn. From this time until her death, nothing is heard of this clever, commanding woman except Bishop Goodman's remark that she was "llttel better than frantic," in her old age. It is a coincidence that at this time the symptoms of madness had evidently been closely studied by the author of Hamlet and Lear, whoever he may have been. In 1001 trial of Lord Kssex (in which Bacon had, by express command of the Queen, been compelled to take an un- willing part) followed by his execution must have been a great misery to Francis and Anthony Bacon. To Anthony, wh< had bee:i Ml bad health, the shock was puch as to hasten his death. This further terrible blow to Francis, the death o "Aiuhoule his comfort," his " belovec and loving brother," added to his moth- er's lamentable mental condition, an* Oontinutd on Uh I\iqt. EX-GOT.

There were 539,093 tons of freight car- ried during 1887, an Increase of 149,209 tons over 1&S0. The outlook for the coining year is ven better than the last one. From the annual report of President Ashley to the stockholders of the coui- >any we quote the following: A glance at any recent railroad map of Michigan will show that the road is so located as to secure a Itrjro traffic from all roads now completed and connecting with it, and from all which may here- after be built north and northwest of it. This was the original purpose of Its pro- jectors, and they have methodically and steadily pushed the extension of their road across the state north by west, until it has now become, and beyond question will continue to be. one of the most im- portant factors in handling the railroad commerce of central and northern Mich- igan. In short, the Ann Arbor road has developed into a "System" which is des- tined to reach and control a larger terri- tory than any other road in the lower peninsula. "PROFIT SlIMU.Nfl ANP STOCK ALLOT- MENT." Tho plan of "Profit, Sharing and Stock Allotment,* adopted by this company at its last annual meeting of Stockholders, has met with so cordial and general a reception hy the offioUU nnd tmplar— of the company and by many of the 'fore- most thinkers and writers on the labor problem In this country, that the Board of Directors take this occasion to reaffirm their faith in its practicability and to re- as-ure the officers and employes of the company that they do not question its ultimate success. Letter* heartily commending the plan have been n oeiveil hy the President, not only from many laboring men of ability, but from writers on the "true relations of labor and cipilal," and on economic questions. These voluntary lettersof approval are beyond question a reflex of the individ- ual convictions of many thouhtful men of recognized character and independent judgmeot, and represent the hopeful and healthy side of the labor problem. SATISFACTORY RKSLLT* OF THE TEAR. The steady increase in our traffic has nmde the year 1887 the most prosperous of any in our history. During that time no passenger or em- ploye has lost his life, nor has any seri- ous accident occurred. To the officials and employes of the company we are largely indebted for this successful and gratifying result, and it is lining and proper that the recogni- tion of this Indebtedness should be freely and publicly made by the Board of Di- rectors.

Tecumseh thinks she can sup- port a daily paper. Well, perhaps Bb« CUM. \Vht> k n i m B ': The Germans residing in the vicinity of Whitaker propose erecting a new Lu- theran church there this summer. The Presbyterian society Is raWng funds to secure the services of Rev. J. W. Patchin another year.—Manchester Enterprise. Mrs. Irena Rane, wife of John Rane, of Whitinore Lake, died on the 19th ult., aged G8 years, and was buried In Green Oak cemetery. While putting some machinery in posi- tion last week at Saline roller mills, Hen- ry ColUim had his left band badly muti- lated by a heavy shaft falling upon it. Ministers and justices who fail to miike returns to the county clerk within ten days after performing a marriage cere- mony may get themselves into trouble. According to the Enterprise, Manches- ter has 17 fellows holding up one of their hands for marshal, and the peculiar purt of it is that they are all right hands, too. The amateur dramatic club at Stock- bridge is rehearsing "Cupid's C.ipers," and "The Cow that kicked Chicago." The cow will be brought upon the Stage life size. Tlie Sun is publishing in installments the history of the 'Stoekbridse Union Agricultural Society," showing its pros- perity from its inception. An exception to the rule. The M. E board of trustees have de- cided to build a church of their own, and will commence at once. They have re- served a suitable lot out of Mrs. Marble's estate for the purpose, and before another year rolls around will probably be hold- ing meetings in their own edifice.—Milan Leader. Reuben Buerle, n l.Vyear old son of Wm. Buerle, of Freedom, has been troubled with necrosis, or decay of the bone of his right foot, and on Thursday last Dr. C. F. Kapp, of this village, and Dr. Johu Kapp, of Ann Arbor, per- formed an operation to remove the dead bone, and tlie young man la getting along n Icely.—Enterprise. It is pretty safe to say that 1G demo- cratic voters were made here last Friday, at least that number took out naturaliza- tion papers to become Americ in citizens. —Manchester Enterprise. Is it not a little dangerous for the future of a nation, in- creasing as rapidly as this is through foreign emigration, that all naturalized citizens should unite with one party only ? The following is going the rounds of the press: "An editor works 36C 1 * days per year to get out fifty-two issues of a paper, that's labor. Once in a while some son of a gun of a dead beat takes the paper for a year or two and then van- ishes without paying for it; that's an- archy. But later on justice will overtake the last named creature, for there is a place where he gets his deserts—that's hades. The Methodist society have succeeded in clearing their parsonage of a $1,000 debt, that lias been hanging over it tiie past 10 years. Rev. Vokum took the matter in hand, and to him is due the cred- it for successfully managing the aflnir and wiping out the incumbrance. He divided the debt into forty shares of $J."i, which he got different members of the church to assume by giving their individual notes. —Saline Observer. We are sorry to say that this village has some young boys that are gaining a reputation that will, unless changed, lead them to the house of correction. The latest thin? they have done was to break a number of window glass out of some buildings. Boy's, it isn't right. Take our advice, and stop, right off, before it is too late.—Pinckney Dispatch. That "the way of the transgressor is hard," is just as true ns fate. He who sows the wind just so surely reaps the whirlwind as the sit i: is to rise and set. The Ypsllanti Sentinel man although grown gray in serving the public with a spicy paper has lost none of his sarcasm. Hear him: A lire broke out in the wood- shed of of a Milan citizen, and being dis- discorered tbe "bucket brigade" immedi- ately organized and saved the adjoining awelllnjr. This is entirely out of order. Milan treedsa ••lire department",with two thousand dollar steam engines, a live hun- dred dollar term,two thousand feet of hose to rot out, ready to burst between liri-?, and a 1,200 Don ltd bell to wake the dead. Then whoever discovers a little blaze can can give the al.irm; the bell can ring: the people can gather round and watch the lire iiicrc.i-i'. The hortes can be har- d—If the harness can be found—the hose can be laid, and in a twinkling, by the time tli" house Is burned, Ibe mighty concern Is on hand to put out the brands. Thai is what, they ought to have right oil. New Books. • ,-, n UM ANI) DOROTHY MADE ASM KEPI A CHRISTIAN HOME. By Mar- garel Sidney. Boston: 1). Lothrop Com- pany. Price 75 cents. This bright little sketch was written for R purpose, and is directly addressed to those young people who are ju«t be- •rinninjr married lite on small means, and who find it hard to resist tlie temptation of dress and sniusciftieritu in the whirl of life In a great city. Tom Foster is a clerk in a store In Boston on ton dollars n week. Dorothy Barnes, whom he mar- ries and takes to tlie city, is a girl of high aspirations and loving character, and with little experience in the ways ot the world. Both were professed and earnest Christ- ians. They accepted the fact at the out- set that it would he a strujrjrle to live as their desire-; won] 1 tempi them to live on ten dollars a week; that they would be te<npt«d without and tempted within, and yet thfy faced the future and its chances with BtOUt hearts, loving each other and depending on the strength which should come to them from above. Their experiences dtirini; the lirst year are interestingly told, their little trials and temptations, common to nil, are touched upon, and the story as a whole cannot hut be helpful to readers who are in a like position.

Prof. Wiley, Chemist In Chief of the Department of Agriculture at Washing- ton, D.

I hope 1 shall always possess firmness and virtue enough, to maintain, what 1 consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of au '•honest man.''—Geo. Washington.

It is a Curious Fact That the body Is now more susceptible to benefit from medicine than at any other season. Hence the importance of taking Hood's Sar-ap irillu now, when it will do you the ino^i |TOod. It is really won lcr- ful for purifying and enriching the blood, creating an appetite, and giving a healthy tone to the System. Be sure to get Komi's Sarsaparilla, which is peculiar to itself.

so nivst cal, olncii re and allusive that fewpeople have ever managed to read ithoroiiL'hly.
[II September, 185U, an Englishman,Mr. Win. 11 Smith, who bad not heardif Miss Delia J5acon, appeared on theleld with hU pamphlet, entitled, " WasLord Bacon the Author of Shakespere's
aybT"—a letter to Lord Ellesmere, inwhich the B icon inn theory was plainly
iid down and maintained—and tlie nextvear published a hook on the subject.This book made a covert of Lord I'aliuer-St'Ul.
In 1S62, Judjje Holmes, then residingn St. Louis, In his book, "The Author-
ship ot Shakespere," lirst pointed out in^lut a number of coincidences or IdeD-,ities of thought and language between;he two writer', B.icni and Shakispere,and expreWfd his clear opinion thatShakespeare, as a dramatist, could haveii'cn cone other ihaii Bacon in disguise.
In 18S0, Dr. Tnoinp-on, Of Melbourne,n his ••The lien iscence Drami, or His-oiy in iilr V'i-ihle,'" prcsenied an HCCII-nulation of fact and argument in favor>l llie Bneoniau theory.
In Issl, .Mi. Appletou Morgan, a law-yer, published at Cincinnati, a book,
The Shakespeare Myte," In which hestaled the Strong Clruunwtantlal evidenceg.iin-t the Shakespearean authorship of
the Plays. His theory was that theywere the workof Lord Bacon, Sir WalterItalelgh, and other.-".
The latest publications on the subjectlave been by Mis. Henry Pr.tt. Theidea of the .Baconian authorship of thePlays of Shakespeare presented itself toier mind independently about twenty
years ajjo. The belief came to her fromthe coincidence of her equal taste for boththe great authors, Huon and Shake-ipeare, and the fact that the more sdieread them, tlie more the identities of theauthors' minds and ideas protrudedthemselves from their writing! and im-pressed themsc lv>s on her mind.
Latterly the subject has been extensive-ly discussed. Up to April, 1884, no legsthan 2M> b mk-, painph'e's anil articleshave been piibli-hed on the subject, ofwhich 70 were English, ltil American,10 Australian, 4 Scotch, 3 Canadian, 2German, '2 French, 1 Indian, 1 Italianand 1 Dutch. This list will soon be augminted into the publication of "TheGreat Cryptogram," by Ignatius Donnel-ly, who is recognized to-day as the mosteminent of the Baconians, and whomakes the startling announcement tlmthe has discovered in the Plays them-selves, in the lirst collected edition ofthem, the Folio ot H'SU, a curiously in-folded cipher narrative whicli lie claimswill forever settle the controversy.
The incidents and associations in thelife and career of Francis Bacon standout in remarkable contrast to those ofShakespeare, and tit fir better one's no-li. >n of those required to form and moldthe character of a man callable of beingthe author of theJPIayn.
Bacon was born in 15G1, three yearsbefore Shakespeare, at York House,Strand, son of Sir Nicholas Bicon, lordtreasurer, and Lady Ann Bacon. I t 'ssaid that men are what their mothersmake them. Lady Ann was the dauishterof Sir Anthony Cooke, tutor to hd-ward V I , a lady o«•operlor-learnldgand attainments. She was well read Inthe classics corresponded with Arch-bishop Jewell In Greek, and translatedInto Bngtlth from tbe Italian some owltheological works.
In boyhood, Bacon, intelligent beyondhit years, exhibits early a quick observation, love ot nature and curiosity aboulphysical facts. Introduced In cliildhooiiuto the highest and most intellectuasociety, his readiness and wit attract at-tention. Queen Elizabeth notices hipand calls him her young lord keeper
He outstrips his tutor at home, and issent at the early age of twelve to join hisbrother, Anthony, two years his senior,at Trinity College, Cambrige. Whilstat Cambridge it is said that he ranthroughout "the whole circle of the liberalarts," but left Cambridge without takinghis degree, dissatisfied, it is said, with themethods of study he found there.
Sent at seventeen, as an attache to thecourt of France, he travels in the wakeof the court through the provinces whichare the scenes of 1st Henry VI., learningFrench, Italian and Spatiiuh, and study-ing foreign policy.
V\h;n he is eighteen his father die!",eaviug him badly off; he is driven
against his inclination to the professionof the law. Meanwhile he resides withliis mother at. Gorhainbnry, St. Aluans,the scene of 2d Henry VI.
His brother Anthony, at this time,goes to Italy and resides there for thir-een > ears. The coireKpondence betweenIi3 brothers concerning Anthony's
travels and vxpenence* in Italy are be-iereil by liicoiiiins to have suggested
the scenes and particulars in the plays of:he second period.
At twenty one Francis is called to ther. Little is now heard of him except
that lie remains studying at Gray's Innvisiting his mother at Gi>rhambui v ; not'oving his luw studies, but laboring dog-jeiily iitthein, anil pinking himself mn*ier of the suhjed, his hours of recreationspent in literary and fjtiiIo <>j• }jt.• purMiiis. T<> tliis period Bacouiuns aUribul'-skeiches of several of the pluvs after-wards produced.
His studies and occupations continuen be nnteiniinerativi; lie fall* into debt;
ippeals to those in power to (five himwork whicli will eniihle him to live a- aciitleman and afford him congenial oc-
cupation.In 158G, when only twenty-five years
old, be is nude a bencher of Gray's Inn.liis late hours, mysterious occupationsmil studious seclusion are invidiouslyloinmented on by his mother.
In loST, when he is twenty-six, his dra-n I'ic inclinations show themselves. He
assists in getting up the Gray's Inn revels,;he presentation on the stage of Thetragedy of Arthur, and some masques,jei formed before Queen Elizabeth.
At twenty-seven he is elected M. P. forLiverpool; for several years after this airielless barrister, with much time at hislisposal, which Baconians think that heiccupied In sketching the plays and the
sonnets which are supposed to have beenwritten about this time, and in acquiringthe knowledge and erudition necessary;or the production of them and hisrrcater prose works.
The beyiuninsr of 1592 finds Anthonyreturning to Engbind, residing withFrancis in Chambers, the two brothersdlilUug their duties of secretaries to the
Earl of Essex; their salaries unpaid.Francis era(mr<>»9ed for want of money,s foiced to get help from the Jews; laterin; actually cist into a sponging houseby a " hard .Few " on account of a bonddebt. Anthony, on returning fromibroad, finding his brother thus distress-ed, mortgages his property to pay hisirorher's debts and pledges his own creditto relieve him.
Baconians believe that The Merchantof Venice derives its origin from theseepisodes, tlmt In Khylock Bacon iuinior-alized the " hard Jew," and in Antonio• is own generous ami unselfish brotherAnthony.
In 1592-3 the poem, Venus and Adonis,o which I have referred, Is published
with a dedication, and given bv Shake-speare to Bacon's young friend, LordSouthampton. Bacon afterwards be-•iime alienated from Southampton on the
score of his disloyalty. When the poemwas republished the dedication to South-lamptou was omitted.
In the autumn of this year, li>93, the'lagtie breaks out in London ; Bacon
suspends his lectures in Gray's Inn andremoves to Twickenham Park.
In 1594 we find him taking a leadingmrt in a grand dramatic entertainmentit Gray's Inn. Anthony, about this time,eaves his brother and goes to live nearhe Bull Inn, in Bishopsgatestreet, where
ten or twelve ot the Shakespeare playswere acted.
In 1595, on his soliciting the office ofattorney or solicitorgenernl, he is passedover, and retires, much hurt, to Twick-
nham.About this time he makes the follow-
ng entry in his private collection oflotes (Promus Note 1180), "Law at
Twickenham for merry tales."The merry tales for which he was thus
jreparing are believed to have been someit those plays (especially The Taming othe Shrew, Midsummer Night's Dream,The Merchant of Venice, 2d Henry IV.,ind Alls Well That End-* Well) soon to
appear, full of legal points and allusionswhich so much exercised the mind ofLord Campbell.
Bacon's life is now retired and private ;his time and attention are mainly devot-•d to philosophical and literaly work.The plays appe.ir at intervals, and con-tlnuu to do so during the next twelveyears.
la a letter of about this date to his in-timate and confidential friend, Sir TobbyMatthew, B icon, whilst alluding byname to eeitain of his own publishedworks, apuka of his " other works,"
works of his recreation." He alsowrites " Those other works of the alpha-bet are, in uiy opinion, of less valuewhere you now are than at Paris, but inregard "that some friends of yours havestill uieL-ited, I send them to you."
"What these works of the alphabetmay have been," says Spedding, Hacon'sbiographer, "I cannot tell, unless theyrelated to Bacon's cipher,"
In 1623, Bacon writes to Sir T. Matthewabout " putting the alphabet in a frame;"if this was tucir cipher, the frame wasthe lu'&J Folio. Such enigmatical talkbetween two fricuds ii evidence that theywere both interested in some secretwhich they would not openly refer to.
In 1000 .Bacon writes, speaking of hismother at Gorhatnbury and of Ills desireto keep her from anxiety, her health be-ing very worn. From this time untilher death, nothing is heard of this clever,commanding woman except BishopGoodman's remark that she was "llttelbetter than frantic," in her old age. Itis a coincidence that at this time thesymptoms of madness had evidently beenclosely studied by the author of Hamletand Lear, whoever he may have been.
In 1001 trial of Lord Kssex (in whichBacon had, by express command of theQueen, been compelled to take an un-willing part) followed by his executionmust have been a great misery to Francisand Anthony Bacon. To Anthony, wh<had bee:i Ml bad health, the shock waspuch as to hasten his death. This furtherterrible blow to Francis, the death o"Aiuhoule his comfort," his " belovecand loving brother," added to his moth-er's lamentable mental condition, an*

Which is enough to show the financialondition of the road to be flourishing.There were 539,093 tons of freight car-ried during 1887, an Increase of 149,209tons over 1&S0.
The outlook for the coining year isven better than the last one.From the annual report of President
Ashley to the stockholders of the coui->any we quote the following:
A glance at any recent railroad map ofMichigan will show that the road is so
located as to secure a Itrjro traffic fromall roads now completed and connectingwith it, and from all which may here-after be built north and northwest of it.This was the original purpose of Its pro-jectors, and they have methodically andsteadily pushed the extension of theirroad across the state north by west, untilit has now become, and beyond questionwill continue to be. one of the most im-portant factors in handling the railroadcommerce of central and northern Mich-igan. In short, the Ann Arbor road hasdeveloped into a "System" which is des-tined to reach and control a larger terri-tory than any other road in the lowerpeninsula.
" P R O F I T S l I M U . N f l A N P STOCK A L L O T -
M E N T . "
Tho plan of "Profit, Sharing and StockAllotment,* adopted by this company atits last annual meeting of Stockholders,has met with so cordial and general areception hy the offioUU nnd tmplar— ofthe company and by many of the 'fore-most thinkers and writers on the laborproblem In this country, that the Boardof Directors take this occasion to reaffirmtheir faith in its practicability and to re-as-ure the officers and employes of thecompany that they do not question itsultimate success.
Letter* heartily commending the planhave been n oeiveil hy the President, notonly from many laboring men of ability,but from writers on the "true relationsof labor and cipilal," and on economicquestions.
These voluntary lettersof approval arebeyond question a reflex of the individ-ual convictions of many thouhtful menof recognized character and independentjudgmeot, and represent the hopeful andhealthy side of the labor problem.SATISFACTORY RKSLLT* OF THE TEAR.
The steady increase in our traffic hasnmde the year 1887 the most prosperousof any in our history.
During that time no passenger or em-ploye has lost his life, nor has any seri-ous accident occurred.
To the officials and employes of thecompany we are largely indebted forthis successful and gratifying result, andit is lining and proper that the recogni-tion of this Indebtedness should be freelyand publicly made by the Board of Di-rectors.

COL. 0. A. JANES.
The name of Col. Janes having beenreceived with such favor by the republi-cans of the state for the office of Stcretaryof Slate, a brief notice of his life wouliseem particularly appropriate just atpresent.
Col. Janes was born at Johnstownliock Co., Wis., on July 6th, 1843, wherehe remained until 20 years of age, work-ing upon a farm. He then came toIlilUdale College In this state to com-plete his education. But he had notbeen there long before he got the warfever and enlisted as a private in the 4thMichigan volunteer infantry. At thebuttle of Weldon R. H., in Virginia hetost an arm.
After being discharged from the armylie returned to Hillsdale College again,graduating with honors. Afterwards hestudied hiw and was admitted to the barin 1871.
In civil life he has arisen to promi-nence also, having held important officesin his city and county. For eight yearshe was judge or probate for Hillsdalecounty, and has served three years asrity attorney for Hillsdale city. Whenthe gallant Gen. Alger was governor heserved upon his staff as Paymaster Gen-eral with the rank of colonel.
In societies Col. Janes has attainedmuch dtstinction. He has been depart-ment commander of the G. A. R. ofMichigan, and in the I. O. O. F's he hasalso been prominent, and is at presentcommander of the Patriarch's Militant ofi his tat<\ this being the military orderof Odd Fellowship. He is also an honor-ed member of the order of Knights ofPythia*,
For several years Col. Janes has beena trustee of Hillsdale college, and is to-day the treasurer thereof. The Colonelhas a record both as a soldier and civil-ian, which is indeed enviable. He iswell known also in every part of Michi-gan, and a more popular nominee wouldbe diflctilt to put upon thejicket. OldWashtenaw will be more thin happy tosecond the nomination.
W hen the democracy of a state concentratesitself in a municipality, nearly everythingelse concludes to take * rear seat, even thecherished national guiue.—Free Press.
The above admission, so frankly made,is quite surprising as coming from theOld hide-bound Free Press. Yet it Is verytrue that all over the country that where-ever Democracy is especially strong everyenterprise of business is blighted. InIndiana and the South are notable exam-ples. We could name several citieswhich have been utterly dead undertbe Democracy until something like nat-ural gas'.or railroads brought in an enter-prising class for a boom, whereupon theybecome Republican.
A farmer who knows what he is talkingabout, hits the nail on the head when hevn s that nothing pays better than goodcountry roads. It costs something to se-cure them but they are the arteries whichconnect village and country, along whichthe life currents of business, prosperity,safety and solid comfort perpetually flow.Bad roads, full of chuck holes, sloughand bottomless mud, kill time, teams andtemper. Be sure then that money thusintelligently expended is wisely investedand sure to realize future satisfactory re-sults.—Manchester Enterprise.
AX UNPUBLISHED INCIDENT INGEN. ALGER'S LIFE.
Some five or six years ago a man named Alx. Cameron in the employ ofAlger, Smith & Co., lumbermen in thenorthern part of the state, was injuredthrough the carelessness of some of themen upon the logging road upon whichhe was working. The accident was notthe fault of the company, nor of the manhimself, but of his companions. Cameronsoon after came to the University hos-pital, where he remained for a long time,and until his money was exhausted. Hewas was extremely anxious to save hislimb, but it finally grew worse, and inSeptember, 1885, the leg had to be am-putated which was done at the countyhouse, Dr. Darlingperforming the opera-tion assisted by Dr. Kapp. After thisCamerou's health commenced to improve.Two or three of our prominent citizenstook an interest in his case, learned hishistory and wrote to Gov. Alger abouthim. The governor, with his accustomednoble generosity, sent his personal checkfor $2d to supply Cameron's immediateneeds, and stated that he would investi-gate the matter. Well, he kept hispromise, and in a few weeks after sent forCameron to come to Detroit. Upon ar-riving there Gov. Alger gave him a permanent position in one of bis northerncamps at good compensation and paidhlftransportation there.
This little incident illustrates GeneraAlger's noble character. There was nopossib'e motive in this generous deed butthe dictates of a good heart. This poorman had no more claim upon Gen. Algerthan had any other private citizen, buthe was needy and unfortunate, and theaccident happened while In the emplojof a company In which he (Alger) wasinterested.
It is such charities, unostentatious, butnractical, that has brought Gov. Algerclose down to the hearts and affections ofthe people. That is why he is loved bjthe great masses of the commonwealth oMichigan, and that is why Michiganmen without distinction of party, raisetheir hats and hurrah for a man whohaving money uses it in a way to benellland help his fellowGen.

Alger At Gettysburg.
It is now a quarter of a century sincithe fate of tli)s nation hung suspended bia thread on the plains and heights oGettysburg. Two mighty hosts that ha<been contending for two days, move<out at dawn of day to engage in one ofthe bloodiest battles known In historyBefore night thousands of brave men orboth sides were to sleep the sleep thaknows no waking. On the issue of thabattle depended the question whetheithe stars and stripes were to continue t(float as the emblem of a free and unitecnation, or be flung in the dust, and thestandard of a causeless and wicked rebellion set up in their stead. The (lowerof the rebel cavalry, led bv those braveknights, Stewart, Hampton and FltzhughLee, was massed on the left of the Con-federate line to charge the union right,opening the way for the gray lines of in-fantry to the rear of Meade. By commonconsent the cavalry of Michigan wasgiven the chief honor of saving the unionright. The charge was met hand tohand, steel to steel, and repulsed; thusthwarting one of the most desperate at-tempts made on that day to break theunion lines. Three men of Michiganwere conspicious for their leadership inthat battle. Two of them have goneover to the Shadowy land, leaving behind names that will never be erasecfrom the pages of American history. ]mean Geo. A. Custer and Charles ATown. The third is still living.

LOOK OS THIS PICTURE A>D THE>OX THAT.
Michigan is a representative northernstate. South Carolina is a representativesouthern state. Michigan elects elevetcongressmen. South Carolina electsseven. Both stntee elected congressmenin 1386. In Michigan it took on anaverage 34,056 votes to elect a congressman. In South Carolina an average ol5,566 votes accomplished a like result.Why this difference? Because, the re-publican vote of South Carolina is suppressed. It is the same old spirit of aristocracy that has always dominated thesouth, and which to-day is graduallyshaping the policy of this nation. Lestthe above figures may be doubted wegive the vote by congressional districts olboth states, the North Carolina votetaken from the N. Y. World—undisputeddemocratic authority—almanac for 1887,and the Michigan vote taken from theMichigan Manual of 1887:

still more glaring the entire state ofSouth Carolina elects eleven congressmenwith 38,060 votes, while it takes 34,056,o elect one congressman in Michigan.Phis Is what a free ballot and a fair count

hem a little. Study them up and seewhat they mean, and then vote, if youan conscientiously, to perpetuate in>owerthe aristocrats that do such things.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The watchword of the average Michi-gan republican just at present Is "Algerand victory!"
Xext to schools and churches goodroads are the greatest evidences of intel-igent and enlightened communities.
No sore spots to heal up. No compro-mises to make. Nothing to hinder agrand march to victory with Gen. Algeras a leader.
Life is too short to make presidents ofnil the good men who have been named.Bat its about right to begin at the headof the alphabet—with Alger.—MidlandKepubllcnn.
Some of our kind-hearted democraticfriends nre afraid "Gen. Alger will notrun well," and so are very anxious thatthe republicans should not make a mis-take and nominate him. Ahem'.
Mr. Cleveland believes in free wool fornorthern farmers, but not free sugar forsouthern planters. Will the people ofthe north tolerate Ruch unjust discrim-ination against their financial interests?
The Philadelphia Press recognizes it asit really is : "The Alger boom for presi-dent is not confined to Michigan alone.It covers the state and laps over theedges into adjoining commonwealths. Itis one of the healthiest, handsomest andmost attractive booms in the field."
You may take the greatest trouble, and byturning it around find Joys on the other side,—Talmage.
True, perhaps, but did you ever try toturn one of those great troubles around,Mr. Talmage? If not, and if you everhave one, we advise 3Tou to make the at-tempt and let the world know the result.
A copy of the Irish World comes tohand cautioning the republican partyagainst the nomination of Walter Q.Oresham, whose record the World claimshas not been exactly straight, politically.He has not always supported the nomi-nees of the republican party as he shouldhave done.
Now tell us truly, did you ever bear ofa common soldier of the southern armyever arising to prominence? Not much.Nothing less than a captain, and veryseldom anything less than u colonel everpeeps his head above the level downsouth. Talk about aristocracy, what doyou call that?
The South Lyon Picket has a head puton it. A new head. A very plain head.Ahead of all competitors, as it were.But the old head was quite a head and inour humble judgment it was ahead of thenew head in beauty. If you cannotmake any particular heailwav in thisitem, why, head her off, that's all.
The Gratiot Journal recognizes ourcongressman's good points: "Congres1
man Allen, of Michigan is making hitmark in congress. He is vigorous andable in debate, and In his recent boutwith Bontelle of Maine regarding Michi-gan's slice of the river and harbor uppropriation, acquitted himself hindsomely."
Perhaps it is analogous that Congress-man Allen, who has often been called"fog-horn Allen ' because of his magnifi-cent stentorian voice, should make hisbest effort in behalf of ttie MichiganHarbor bill last week. If it goes throughand gives Michigan all it asks, it will bedue more to his brilliant oratory than tothe introducer. He was defeated for thelegislature, then defeated for congress;never say die, he came up serenely againand paved his district by 1,500. Thesecond district is all right.—QuineyHerald.
The republican party is accused olkeeping up the animosities of the latewar. A more unjust charge was nevermade. The party has no feeling againstthe south hut that of friendship tinebrotherly affection. But it does protestagainst the policy of the government being shaped by the men who only a fewyears ago attempted to distroy this natioiIt furthermore protests ag»inst unjustdiscriminations against the north con-stantly being made by the party In pow-er to-day. Cleveland's free trade mes-sage strikes a blow at the farmers of ournorthern states by recommending freewool, but the same message proposes tocoddle southern planters by retaining theduty on sugar. And this is only one othe many ways that the northern peopleare being over-ridden by the democraticsoutherners.
Under "free trade" or what is better knownas the "Walker tariff," from 1846 to I860' themerchants use dto borrow money from thefarmers at a fair rate of interest, but underthe present tariff poverty and mortgagedfarms predeminaie and merchants have toget their money from the banks and otherInstitutions oimonoply. A tariff that willhonestly protect the American farmer fromex ton Ion and give him a chance to pay hismortgages and save his home is the onlytariff needed In this country.—Monroe Democrat.
It is quite evident that the editor of theDemocrat has not examined the list olmortgages returned to the register oldeeds of his county, or he would notmake such an assertion as the aboveThat list shows that about one thin:more residents of the country, in propor-tion to the population, hold mortgagesin their own names than do residents inthe cities. There are hundreds andthousands of dollars deposited with mer-chants and business men in the citiesevery year by farmers, for safe and pro-fitable investment. Some of this moneyis placed on farm property and some oncity property, and not a little Is drawinginterest In the banks. But give us freetrade, free wool, free salt, free lumber,and all other things free, and then seewho would have money for investment.Instead of our own people having moneyto loan they would have to seek the mark-ets of London, Liverpool, etc. The Dem-ocrat can not point to a time In the his-tory of this nation when it prosperedunder free trade. The greatest commer-cial depression this country ever experi-enced was during the very free tradetimes to which it refers.
From the Cleveland Leader.SENSIBLE METHODISTS.
At the meeting of the New YorkMethodist Episcopal Conference onMonday, at Newburg, the third piirtyprohibition element Introduced the fol-lowing resolution:
We are opposed to all laws that tend toregulate the liquor traffic, and will endeavorU> have all existing lawn repealed which re-strict the sate of Intoxicating driDks, as itbut prolongs the struggle, and we oppose allefforts to diminish the sale of liquors, as thething must be crushed at one blow. Wepromise not to vole for a candidate for anyoffice who will not pledge himself to prohibi-tion principles.
A heated debate followed. In the midstof the tumult Judge John Rhey Thomp-son, one of the pillars of the New YorkMethodism, was recognized by the pre-siding officer, and in an impassionedmanner said :
I would deplore the adoption of those reso-lutions as a Christian, as an American, andas a Methodist. I think we are on the eve ofa terrible revolution. That report says thatthe law forbidding the sale of liquor tominers should be repealed. Is that right?[Cries of "No, no."] I tell you we are notready for the abolition of laws of this kind.[Applause.] This report means that MayorHewitt's Infamous proposition to open thesaloons at 2 '•" p. in. on Sunday, to desecratethat holy day, has the approval of this Con-ference. I'm going to right the saloon. I'mafter it because I think It's after my onlyboy, a lad of twelve years. It's nonsense tosay that restrictive measures don't do anygood. The republican party won Its firstvictory against slavery by using small meas-ures at first. I «111 not commit myself notto vote for a man who Is not a prohibitionist.Don't talk lo me about only voting fur a pro-hibitionist, when a colored man In Georgia•annot get a glass of soda water on a hot duybecause he Is black. There are other IssuesM-fi.ri- the public just as Important as tem-perance. 1 will not be pledged by any con-'erence. If I can shut 1,000 out of 10,000saloons I will do that, and then go at therest.
The majority of the conference coin-:ided with .1 luije Thompson's views andthe resolution was defeated. The effortsof the impractical and fanatical third>arly Prohibitionists to commit theMethodist Episcopal Church against therestriction and regulation of the trafficwhere prohibition would be Inoperativeand mean free whiskey, will not suc-:eed. There is too much common sensen Methodism for that.
THE CELESTIAL KINGDOM.
An Interesting Description of thePeople and Their Habits.
[The following taken from a privateletter written to the editor of the COURIERfrom Dr. D. E. Osborne, so well knownin this city, will be read with great inter-est by many of our people.]
TAIKU, SHADSK, China, Feb. 14, '88.I have been having somewhat of a busy
time since writing you last. More thanhalf the English people In Yai Yuen fuhave been down with typhus fever and,among the other?, both the foreign (Eng.)physicians, consequently I have been theonly live foreign doctor in this Province,which Is the size of the stale of Illinois,and contains mor than five times the num-ber of inhabitants. In two weeks I rodemore than five hundred miles on horse-back, and crossed a mountain which theyclaim, is ten miles over, and infested withwolve", and they say, robbers, twice inthe night. Do you know of anything inthe line of opportunities for work betterthan this » Very few of our great walledcities are occupied by foreigners and withupwards of -20,000,000 of people in thisprovince alone, only three foreign physi-cians. Only one death from typhus sofar, but others have been on the point oldeparture. Just for relaxation, I hada day "off " yesterday for a hunt. Onthe mountains near us are found partridges, pigeous, wolves, leopards, pan-thers, hares, foxes, etc., etc.
This is the 2d of the Chinese NewYear and the streets arc very guy. Thewhole male population is out in its finestsilks and satins, its official hats and bootsmaking calls. We westerners celebrateone day at New Year's time, these " celes-tials " celebrate two weeks. Yesterdaythey were all out in the cemeteries wor-shiping at the graves of their ancestors.Such intelligence and real refinementand yet such heathenism ! I believe al-most every man In America would dis-cover himself a Christian and declare thesame if he could once drink deep of pureunadulterated heathenism. Christ alonecan save these people and you at homehave your duty in this matter the .sameas we.
Council Proceedings.
There was a special meeting of thecouncil Monday evening, the main ob-ject being the action of the committee towhom was referred the bonds of tin.saloon keepers and druggists.
Aid. Allmendinger, as chairman of thecommittee, presented the bonds of twobrewers, 14 saloon keepers for $500 li-cense and 7 for $300 license, and 3 druggists bonds.and recommended their allow-ance, which was carried.
The bond of Aug. Herz was recommended returned, because one of thebondsmen did not live in the city.
Aid. Ware moved that the bond be ace.epted, and remarks were made by severa] members for and against.
Aid. Wines offered the following as asubstitute:
litsolvtd. That we accept only such personsas sureties on bonds as can be such by tinterms of the law.
Recorder Bach moved that the subHltute be laid on the table, and the yeasand nays being called for, resulted:
Ayes—Aid. Martin, Herz, Kearns, SpokesO'Mara, « are, Mayor Keakes aud KecordeBach.—».

Passes OTor To The Majority.
Last Monday, at about 11 o'clock a. m.the people of the city were shocked t<learn that Henry E. H. Bower, for tlitpast twelve years or more editor and proprietorof the Ann Arbor Democrat, hacbeen taken to his home in an unconsciouscondition, expiring soon after reachingthere. The immediate cause of death wairheumatism of the heart, though he hacbeen ailing for a long time with Brlght'sdisease, and death was not wholly unlooked for by his friends. Hut still death isan enemy we are never prepared to meetno matter how much we may have beerforewarned of his approach, and this wasno exception to the genera) rule.
Mr. Bower had lived in this communi-ty as boy and man, and was well knownto nearly every resident of the city. Hewas one who had his faults, but he alsohad his virtues, he was honest and up-right in all his dealings with his fellow-men, and never forgot his manhood inthat respect. At times brilliant as a journalist, he was at times erratic also. As anews gatherer he had few equals in thestate, and made his paper popular bychronicling In brief paragraphs every-thing that happened in the vicinity, liewas a strong friend to his friends ancjust as strong a hater to those he disliked.In those he liked he could see nothingwrong, in those he hated but little goodIn his paper he punctured whatever hebelieved to be wrong no matter who ilhit, friend or foe. For his good qualitieshe had many friends, for his misfortuneshe had the regrets of the entire commu-nity. He has paid the penalty deathexacts of us all; may his ashes rest inpeace.
Mr. Bower was born at Manchester,Michigan, on April 20th, 1845, being 43years of age. He leaves a widow tomourn his loss.
He was the oldest son of the late Hen-ry Bower and ol'Mrs. Margaret Bower,now a resident of N. Ingalls-st., wherehis remains were taken, and where thefuneral services are being held this p. m.,Rev. Dr. Earp officiating. B. FrankBower of the Evening Journal editorialstaff Is a brother of the deceased, andMiss Emma and Miss Maggie Bower areh iS si.HIIMN.
The Democrat, we understand will beconducted by Miss Emma Bower, whohas in fact had the management of it forseveral months.
Some beautiful flowers have been sentfrom Detroit by friends of the family,and the press of this city have joined in afloral design representing the first pageof the Democrat with inverted columnrules, a piece entirely new in design.
The pall bearers consist of E. J. Mor-ton, J. E. Beal, H. M. Holmes, Fred J.Howlett, I/. J. Liesemer, and Geo II.Pond.

Titus Hutzel, of the firm of Hut/el &Co., has Invented a new "water back'1 or" water front," as you choose, for usein ranges where " water is heated.Formerly the " water backs " were castin one piece of iron containing twochambers separated by a partition. InMr. HutzePs invention the upper cham-ber is left out entirely In the casting, atidits place supplied by a suitable pipewhich can be removed at pleasure. Inheating hard water the lime soon formsa coating in the upper chamber and itdoes not take long to clog it up so thatno water will pass through. Of coursethis sediment does not form in thechamberinto which the water enters cold, but inthe one In which it goes out heatedThe old back is worthless when clogged.up for there is no way of cleaning it out.With this the pipe can be removed andcleaned out, or if necessary replaced witha new pipe at a cost of r>0 cents, whereasa new back costs $7 or $8. The now ar-ticle can be manufactured at less expensethan the old, also, which is an importantitem. One manufactory has alreadyadopted the new invention for Its ranges.The firm will make a success of this in-vention without doubt, for it is practicaland simple.

JULIUS C/ESAR.
Of the great play by Messrs. Booth andBarrett, theQ?hiladelphia Telegraph ofNov. 29, says?}
A good play well acted—is a proper sum-mary of the performance offered at theChestnut Street Opera House last night.The imgi-dy of Julius Ctuar is pretty muchall that u piece of the kind ought to be,— In-teresting from tlrst to last, "well digested Inthe sense," vigorous, thoughtful, with anumber of strongly marked characters,—anil withal preseuttng a definite picture oflife and manners which scholars have assur-ed us Is aa near truth as such a venture Islikely to get It Is by no means the first con-sideration lu a historical play that charac-ters or Incidents should strictly conform tohistory; the playwright has, If he chosen totake It, the widest license, and he Is Justifiedin first of all making his work homogenousand, to that end. In using any material inany way to t»ult his purpo-e. Hut It falls outall tlie better when thin choice ranges easilywith fact; and so regarded Juliue Cesar hasalways been held as t well nigh perfect pluy,both from Its eesthetlc and hutorio sides. Ithad a very able Interpretation last evening,with Mr. Edwin Hooth and Mr. LawrenceBarrett, and with a strength In the miDorcharacters which preserved throughout anunusual and very gratlfylug Illusion. Thiswas largely helped, also, by the clever hand-ling of the mob, on winch tbe effectiveness olthe play so much depends, may be said In-deed to turn.r Mr. Booth has acted not onlyBrutus, lu which he appeared last night, butCasslus and Marc Antony as well, and weare not clear but that he Is now belter suitedto Casslus than to Brutus. He could hit offthe "lean and hungry" side of Casslus morenearly than Mr. Barrett does It at presentwith his Increased weight and air or gener-al prosperity^ Mr. Barrett has, however,been ldentlfletrfor years with Casslus; It isnobly Impressive a performance as ever, andthere can be no disposition to move himfrom a part he has so largely made his own.It would be pleasant, however, to see an al-ternation of these roles by Messrs. Harrettand Booth. As a pair 11 would not be easyto match them. They are noble Romans,sure enough, and they not only pleasurablyfill the eye hut satisfy the inlnil ateach stageof the moving drama. Well known and en-tirely respected are these Impersonations,and they possibly were never given withmore effect than last night. The JuliusCtfsar of Mr. Lane was a worthy companionplctare, despite Its smaller opportunities.His Ca-iar was strong, majestic, very search-lngly Intelligent. It. had the element of per-sonal distinction characteristic of the per-formuuees of Mr. Booth ami Mr. Barrett.

I hair be thin, harsh,' dry, or turning gray,Ayer's Hair Vigorwill restore thecolor, bring out anew growth, and
render the old soft and shiny. Forkeeping the scalp clean, cool, andhealthy, there is no better preparationin the market.
" I am free to coufess that a trial otAyer's Hair Vigor has convinced methat it is a genuine article. Its use hasnot only caused the hair of my wife anddaughter to be
Abundant and Glossy,but it has given my rather stunted mus-tache a respectable length and appear-ance."— R. Britton, Oakland, Ohio.
"My hair was coming out (withoutanv assistance from my wife, either).I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor, using onlyone bottle, and I now have as fine ahead of hair as any one could wish for."—B. T. Schmittou, Dickson, Tenu.
" I have used Aver's Hair Vigor in myfamily for a number of years, and re-gard it as the best hair preparation Iknow of. It keeps the scalp clean, thehair soft and lively, and preserves the•rtotaal color. My wife has used it fora lane time with most satisfactory re-sults."—Benjamin M. Johnson, if. D.,TWomas Hill, Mo.
" My hair was becoming harsh and dry,but after using half a bottle of Ayer'sHair Vigor it grew black and glossy. Icannot express the joy and gratitude Ifeel." —Mabel C. Hardy, Delavan, 111.

Ii1621 he writes his " History of HenryVII.," a very remarkable historical nar-rative of the only reign of that periixwhich had nor been deemed sufficientlyinteresting to form the subject of a playof Shakespeare. In 1022 two years aftehis fall, in a letter to the King, lie quote;in his original draft the following wo-dsomitted in the fair copy: "CardinaWotaey said that if lie had pleased Gotas he had pleased the King, he had notbeen ruimd.

In 102G he dies from a chill contractedin the course of a drive in a snowstormin Maich, when he tried, by stuffing achicken with snow, to learn whetherputrefaction could be arrested by cold.He thus seems to have been the tirst toattempt in England the preservation ofmeat by freezing, a subject which alterthe lapse ot 200 years has come intoprominence.
By his will he refers to the durableparts of his memory, which consists ofhis writings, and desires that his manu-script compositions should; be given tohis brother-in-law, Constable; leh'-rs tothe fragments of some that were notfinished and might be lit to be published.
Such is the career, contemporaneouswith and overlapping at both t-nds thatof William Shakespeare, of a man who,It is hardly too much too aver, alone ofill men of the day had the knowledgeenabling him to write, the time and op-jorturtity, as well as the energy and in-clination, for writing the Plays and)oems which have hitherto pass -d asShakespear's. The dates of Bacon's lifeit perfectly into the dates of the Plays—he dates of Will Shakespeare's lite are
absolutely out of harmony with the datesof their appearance—the later plays neverippeared till long after his death ; espec-ally Othello, first published in 1012; re-lublished with changes, additions and'missions in 1623.
No one who has studied Francis Ba-
con's acknowledged works will willinglygrudge him any honor which shouldprove to be his due.
If if should be established, even at thislate hour, that he is the real author ofthe wonderful Shakespeare Plays, niwell as of the yreat prose works whichbear Ids name, I venture to think thatthat there are few but will rejoice that IfWill Shakespeare in to come down fromthe pedastal (on which he did not himselfclaim to be placed), Francis Bacon shouldbe the person declared to be the rightfuloccupant of it. Such a result wouldamongst other things, disprove once morethe theory that ineie genius, withoutpainstaking study and labor, can producelearned and erudite words; that it wasgiven to Shakespeare alone of mortals todespise the golden rule, " There is noroyal road to knowledge." It wouldprove, what would naturally have beenpredicted, that the Plays were not theproduction of a heaven-born genius andintuition, but ot genius and ability, mold-ed and strengthened by intense industryand study; that the writer of the 1'iaysfollowed Ids own injunction, and put in-to the mouth of one of his characters," Take pains, be perfect."
This is an age of inquiry, and the ques-tion of the real authosrhip of the famousand immortal Plays is fairly one uponwhich inquiry should be encouraged byall lovers of the truth, and should not be,»8 some staunch 8hake-pe ireaus wouldhave it, suppressed and otlfled.
If there is a "Shakespearean-Baconcraze," 1 humbly maintain thill the crazemay have been with our ancestors, whohave handed down to us a traditionagainst which intelligence rebels—thetradition that an illiterate mm composedsome of the most cultured mafterpiecesof the dramatic and poetic art that everadorned any country, and that the crazehas hitherto affected ourselves who haveblindly followed this vain tradition ofour elders.
If Shaksperc's claim to the authorshipfuils,tliat ol Bacon, in my humble opinion,will be found to hold the held. As Mis.Pott puts it: "If the evidence in favor olBacon's authorship can he di-pruved, byall mean- let those disprove it who can. 'The raii-e is open; let the pleadings onboth sides be fairly heard.
