Is it singular, therefore, that, called upon to determine between The World's want of intelligence and its want of loyalty, we choose the latter? That journal exhibits, daily, too much ability, to attribute to it that childish stupidity which could not foresee what aid and comfort would be derived by the enemy from such a suggestion at such a moment. I belong to that class of Democrats who found encouragement in the results in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. They established the fact of organization, as I have said, and they gave assurance that the victory, so nearly won, could, with proper effort, be attained in November. Their effect was not to discourage, but to stimulate Democratic energy; and I am convinced that to-day, but for the demoralizing influences of this criminal abandonment of the field by one of its leading exponents, the Democratic party would be stronger in organization, in unity, and in hope, than it has been since 1856. This conviction, sincerely entertained and expressed, must be my apology for this communication. HARFORD. Reviews. The sea-captain, Simon Kempthorn, is introduced as the gracioso or wag of the drama, and we think one specimen of his wit-the very best we can pick out-will satisfy our readers. Simon is standing in the pillory for swearing: -"But who's this? I did not know the Mary Ann was in! GOLDSMITH. Set in the bilboes? KEMPTHORN. GOLDSMITH. Ask that star-bowline with the boat-hook there. MERRY (bowing.) For swearing. In this town They put sea-captains in the stocks for swearing, terror, and goaded them to the frantic cruelty of fear. Nay-for grotesqueness and ghastliness are never far apart, and even these scenes had their grimly-comic side-we may say they also took the forms of the Aloïda, Otus and Ephialtes, Owl and Nightmare. Here, then, was just the element in which a great dramatist could put forth all his power. Here was no lack of the 7 devov, which is the soul of tragedy. Yet here, with that singular infelicity of which we spoke before, Mr. Longfellow chooses rather to trust for his effect to delineation of character. We are shown some malicious persons laying snares for several innocent people and bringing them to destruction, but we are not plunged into the midst of that atmosphere of horror, of fear, of wrath and of agony which enveloped Salem village during that awful time. He scarcely introduces that most potent of all the poet's ministersthe weird.

In the prologue to Giles Corey, Mr. Longfellow makes a just remark, which should be borne in mind whenever New England witchcraft is in question. He says: "Ah, what a noble character is this!" In the handling of the whole drama, the author exhibits an indecision which shows his imperfect grasp of the subject. For instance, the witch Tituba (whom he correctly calls "an Indian," but represents as a negress,) was in reality a degraded "This sudden burst of wickedness and crime. creature, with the groveling superstitions and low Was but the common madness of the time, When in all lands that lie within the sound cunning of the savage; but he introduces her soOf Sabbath bells, a Witch was burned or drowned." liloquising upon her terrible powers in a strain of This is not quite literally true, for the superstition wild grandeur that might have befitted Sycorax or In John Endicott, for instance, the plot of the was nearly extinct in England at the time of the Erichtho.

For all the coal the company can produce there is a ready market; 1,000 miles of railway, and the popula tion of 30,000 square miles of territory, can be supplied with fuel from its mines more readily and cheaply than from any other quarter. A large part of the means required in the construetion of this road is derived from stock subscriptions. Over $1,500,000 has been already expended upon the line from this source alone, and subscriptions to the capital stock are now pledged sufficient to pay the whole cost of the road, with the exception of superstructure and rolling stock, leaving the proceeds of the bonds to be applied to these purposes, and to the purchase of coal lands. Of the entire line 165 miles are now graded. The work is proceeding rapidly and successfully. It is intended to have the first division of fifty miles, giving an outlet to the coal, in operation by January 1, and the whole line within one year. The estimated earnings of the road, with its cos business, are three-fold what will be required to pay |
