SHYLOCK.
While Mr. Barrett’s personation of
•‘the Jew that Shakspeare drew” is
fresh in the minds of our citizens, the
following commentary on Shylock may
i,e read with interest. In a recent lec
; are, Rev. Dr. Jacob Meyer made the
following points:
Skakspeare’s “Shylock” was born in
he year 1598, and the “ pound of flesh ” is
not rotted yet. It is still a favorite dish in
the mouths of all who, contrary to the re
ining influence of education and civiliza
tion, find rawness, even of manners toward
, Thors, suitable to their uncultivated taste,
i i seems to be savory even in places where
you would expect everything in the line of
love and charity, but no “ pound of flesh *’
cut and weighed with anti-Jewish knives
and scales, and sewed with hands bare of
love and charity. It is wonderful how little
the Israelite is actually known, notwith
tanding his being in the mouth of every
Christian. Shakspeare’s “ Shylock ” is a
native of dispersed and persecuted Israel,
far above the slur and derision of the non-
Jewisli world. He claims our respect as a
■ ender-hearted father of an only daughter,
on whom he lavishes all his care, love and
affection. The lecturer then referred to the
wrongs perpetrated upon Shylock by one
if Antonio’s friends, depicted his anguish
and the derision cast upon him by the Gen
i iles, and closed with a peroration, in which
he eulogized the Iraelitish race, and pre
dicted their greatness and the respect for
them, which wouls be shown by all the
iiations in the future.
We remember how an impulsive
South Carolina gentleman, after wit
nessing a rendition of the “ Merchant
of Venice,” indignantly protested
against the verdict of the Duke and
Antonio’s unreasonable demands as to
a change of faith. And he could find
no words sufficiently strong to de
nounce the encouragement given by
the Christian youth to the hypocrisy
and infidelity of the Jew’s daughter.
But the modern Israelite can contem
plate with becoming pride the victory
his race has won over the prejudices
and barbarism of old days ; the more so
as, in art and science, as well as in all
ordinary pursuits of life, the Jew
has inscribed his name on the
highest rolls of song, story and philoso
phy, not to speak of the fact that
kings and princes have virtually placed
their very crowns in pawn to Israel’s
moneyed royalty. The Christian, too,
should never forget that his Redeem
er came from these remarkable people,
who have been mysteriously preserved
in their autonomy, while the greatest
nations have been destroyed. What
ever of truth the Christian holds, the
Jew preserved the seed, and this alone,
if nothing else, should protect him
from persecution and attract toward
him that blessed charity and fraternity
which are the twin characteristics of
true religion.
readingTantT~ eating.
The Baltimore papers complain that
the Mercantile Library of that city is
not well supported. The Boston Mer
cantile Library is also in debt, and the
Sheriff is after it with a writ. The Bal
timore Gazette says:
The amount of reading, outside of flashy
novols, that is done In this city would
shame any small New England village;
and the libraries possessed by many of our
wealthiest citizens would not bring a hun
dred dollars to-morrow. We are not a
‘ reading people.
Perhaps the Baltimore people would
read more if they loved eating less.
Bat in •* the gastronomic metropolis of
the universe,” it would be flying into
the face of Providence to abjure can
ducks, Lynnhaven Bay
oysters and diamond back terrapin for
the baboon theories of Darwin or the
sophistries of modern infidelity. We
do not know but what the Baltimoreans
are much healthier and happier for
sticking to their incomparable flesh
pots and not racking their minds or
souls over the speculations of half-fed
theorists. If the New England people
had had the appetites, digestions and
markets of Maryland, instead of hungry
minds, lean fare and indigested livers,
this country would always have been
in profound peace and unparalleled
prosperity. Apple pies, 30ur cider and
maple sugar have destroyed the Con
stitution and the Union. We shall have
greater hopes of liberty in this country
when the New England villagers im
prove the tone of their stomachs as a
preliminary to the rectification of their
mental morbidity.
THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE.
The Florida Legislature has been
well organized, from all accounts.
Prominent among those members who
have effected this satisfactory result,
we may mention Dr. W. W. Hicks. Dr.
Hicks was the author of the withering
rebuke of Florida’s Congressional Rep
resentatives, embodied in a resolution,
which passed, requesting Gen. Gordon
and Mr. Stephens to look after the in
terest of the “ Land of Flowers,” until
the absent Congressmen should find it
convenient to return to their grave and
responsible duties at Washington.
!ggA -more telling hit against Radical
government has seldom been given-
The country at large will remember
and appreciate this masterly stroke of
sarcasm, though, as a Florida paper
says, “ as well might the Assembly at
tempt to pierce the hide of Robinson’s
rhinoceros with a discharge from a
boy’s potato pop-gun, as to touch the
sensibilities of men who have been
long divorced from such an inconve
nience.”
Tn a pamphlet by Dr. Carter Blake,
i LsiidVat the lakes in the north-
Iceland are surrounded by
mountains of pure
sulphur.
THE BOTTOM FACTS.
Elsewhere we give the Louisiana
question in brief, that is, a summary
of the facts established by the Congres
sional sub-committee. Considering that
two members of this committee are Re
publicans, there should be no question
of the impartiality of their ultimate
and unanimous decision. A visit of the
entire committee to New Orleans gives
rise to well-founded suspicions of an
attempt at foul play, the more so as
desperate efforts were made to suppress
the testimony of Messrs. Foster, Phelps
and Potter.
It will be very hard for Morton,
Logan, Williams. Sheridan, and even
the President, to successfully combat
this report. If a majority of the people
of this country aro just, wise and pa
triotic, this remarkable testimony will
have a stupendous effect.
One View. —An old New Orleans mer
chant, writing of Louisiana affairs to a
friend in Washington, says :
Searching at the source of all this mis
chief they would find its author, H. C. War
moth, late candidate for United States
Senator. This is the man who put through
the election law of which the Democrats
complain. His purpose—which was to pro
vide a weapon with which they might gore
the Republican ox—pleased them well; but
when, by a strange freak of fortune, the
wrong ox was gored, a howl of anger and
anguish broke from them.
There is only too much truth in this.
Warmoth invented the Returning Board
and the Metropolitan Police. He has
been a greater curse to Louisiana than
Butler, Sheridan and Grant combined.
The State would be free, prosperous
and contented to-day, if this rascal had
never controlled her destiny.
Very Odd.— The brilliant and eccentric
heir of the arch-millionaire Duke of
Gabere in France positively refuses to ac
cept any allowance from the colossal for
tune which will one day be his, and insists
upon earning his own “ right to live,” as he
puts it, by teaching mathematics in a nor
mal school.—New York World.
Very creditable to the young man ;
but he possesses the happy conscious
ness that if mathematics fail to get
him a living, ho has all those millions
to fall back upon as a reserve. The
great effort of most poor devils is what
does not trouble the young Gabere —
the protection of their rear, to wit.
Toombs. —Several of the papers are
after Gen. Toombs with sharp sticks.
The Gen. dreads indifference more
than censure. It is reported that he
will deliver an address on Louisiana
when Ben Hill gets through.

A Message from th* President—ln
Time of Peace Prepare for War-
Straws Show Which Way the
Wind Blows.
The President sent the following
message to Congress to-day :
Executive Mansion, 1
January 20, 1875. )
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives :
In my annual message of December
Ist, 1873, while inviting general atten
tion to all recommendations made by
the Secretary of War, your special at
tention was invited to the importance
of preparing for war in time of peace
by providing a proper armament for
our sea coast defenses. Proper arma
ment is of vastly more importance than
fortifications. The latter can be supplied
very speedily for temporary purposes
when needed. The former can not. These
views gain increased strength and per
tinence as the years roll by. I have
now again the honor to call special at
tention to the condition of the arma
ment of our fortifications and the
necessity for immediate provision by
Congress for the procurement of heavy
cannon. The large expenditures re
quired to supply the number of guns
for our forts is the strongest argu
ment that can be adduced for a liberal
annual appropriation for their gradual
accumulation. In time of war such
preparations cannot be made. Cannon
cannot be purchased in open market nor
manufactured at short notice. They
must be the product of years of ex
perience and labor. I herewith en
close copies of a report of the chief
of ordnance and of a board of
ordnance officers on the trial of an eight
inch rifle converted from a ten inch
smooth bore, which shows very con
clusively an economical means of util
izing these useless smooth bores and
making them into 8-inch rifles, capable
of piercing seven inches of iron. The
1,294 10-inch Rodman guns should, in
my opinion, be so utilized, and the ap
propriation requested by the Chief of
Ordnance of $250,000 to commence
these conversions is earnestly recom
mended. While convinced of the econ
omy ana necessity of these conversions,
the determination of the best and
most economical method of providing
guns of still larger calibre should no
longer be delayed. ' The experience of
other nations, based on new conditions
of defense brought prominently for
ward by the introduction of iron
clads into every navy afloat, demands
heavier metal, and rifle guns of not
less than twelve inches in calibre.
These enormous masses, hurling a shot
of 700 pounds, can alone meet many
of the requirements of the national
defenses. They must be provided, and
experiments on a large scale can
alone give the data necessary for the
determination of the question.
A suitable proving-ground, with all
the facilities and conveniences, referred
to by the Chief of Ordnance, with a
liberal annual appropriation, is an un
doubted necessity. The guns now
ready for trial cannot be tried without
funds, and the estimate of $250,000 for
the purpose is deemed reasonable and
is strongly recommended. The con
stant appeals for legislation on the
armament of fortifications ought no
longer to be disregarded if Congress
desires in peace to prepare the im
portant material, without which future
wars must inevitably lead to disaster.
This subject is submitted with the
hope that the consideration it deserves
may be given it at the present session.
[Signed,] U. S. Grant.
NEW YORK.

THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
id popular medicines have effected a revo
' don in the healing art, and prov ed the fal*
ncy of several maxims which have for many
yeurs obstructed tho progress of medical
science. The false supposition that "Con
sumption is incurable” deterred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with it recon
ciled themselves to death without nuking an
effort to escape from a doom which they sup
pssed to be unavoidable. It is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured, and
that it has been cured in a very great number
of cases—some of them apparentjy desperate
ones—by Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and in other cases by the same medicine, in
connection with Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
io the requirements of the case.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninter
rupted good health for more than 40 years,
was supposed, at one time, to be at tho very
gate of death, his physicians having pro
nounced his caso hopeless, and abandoned
him to his fate. He was cured by tho afore
said medicines,and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used Dr.
Sehenck’s preparations with the tiamo re
