ihe Press and Banner By Illicit Wilson. Wednesday, March 11. 1S85. I.Pl us PInnt Corn ami Raise a MulOj toll. Cleveland hns been InmiRurn'ed President of (be Untied Stales, and lie lias already be-1 i:iiu the distribution ofpooHc offices anions the prominent I>emoemls in all parts of the eountry, but, friends, what matters that to you and us. The offices will not so round, and we are very sure to be forgotten In the distribution of favors. For this reason. It Is the botinden duty of every citizen to devote his whole energy to the production of a sufficient quantity of bread for the faintly anu all the necessary feed for the stock on I lie farm. I'n- I1 d?'r Kepubllean rule many of us were com-1 Veiled logo in debt for supplies, and we were ' o:ko sometimes subjected to the further mortillcation of buying a mule cu a credit. With) he election of a Democratic President we!' might turn over a new leaf and become inde- i jicndent by raising our own mules and grow- 1 lag me necessary iceu ior uicir sustenance. A good corn crop is of first importance, aud can be almost surely seen red by planting the ' upland now, and by waiting a while on the. bottoms. . L.-t us look at this business a little. The 1 kvmor who buys his corn and bacon at high j' prices on a credit is subjected to great iucon-i' venience and much loss lti this way. Let the i1 ?lay be never so beautiful and the ground in i1 never so nice a condition for plowing, on an', average one day in ten Is lost with a hand and 1 two mules in going to the stores for these J t?Kxls. This Is a greater loss than would first ' appear. Look at It in this way. If two mules a band and a wagon spend a day going to the Ktore for six or eight or ten bushels of corn. ' Jlme sufficient to plow and plant, an acre of:' bottom land is lo?t. Two mules can ea?y j' nough thoroughly break np and plant an i, acre In a day. If the same time is lost, on tliej Kecond trip for ten days rations then another May* work with two mules is lost. Tlit*c two ! ' days would be about sufficient to do the nec- j1 e<sary plowing on an acre of corn, I5y twoj trips, ail the time which Is necessary to plant.f iinil cultivate an acie of corn. Is lost. That ' nereof bottom might be safely counted on to 1 produce fifteen bushels of corn, or as much asj1 were brought home in two trips Irom the . More. Kroin this it will be seen that if the 1 merchant* would Issue free rations to miriJ farmers every ten days, that they could not js afford to quit their wor!. '.nd go for them. It actually costs less lo gi . corn on the farm 11 than It costs to go ibe store for it. even if civ-1' t-n to them. We cannot help ourselves this;1 year, but now is the time to make preparations for rleht-livlng next year. Think ofjL thiii and raise a mule colt. L Off to the Asylnm. . Mr. Charles Auerbach's goods have been , t boxe<l up, his store lias been closed, and he : s has been taken to the lunatic asylum. i o It Is alleged that, that the nervous shock I vhlch he received on the shooting o!' hlsjn nephew Arthur M. Benedict by Ferguson dis- c arranged his inlnd soas to make him In coin-! f>etent for business. Since the shooting he | r iks suffered fr-vn Insomnia, and his malady e ins Increased until he Ik almost without ren-jt son, and totally unfit for business. He went 11 to I he nsylum last Saturday as a pay patient without the legal steps whicn are necessary a III the cusp of paupers, and It is hoped that: 1ne authorities at that institution may be' I: able to restore his diseased mind to its nor- j u innl condition, lie was a piLlful sight when lie left. 1; ?.

McCAIH. j 'J'hc Imjiortftiirc of tlie Drnmrt in tl:oj Time* Jlol'ore ll>i' F.xlsI nice of Sirnsjiniicrs. In obedience to the order of tliis Literary | Cluli, wo have endeavored to put in Hit* form . of writing n low thoughts oil the tragedy of Hamlet, it will help us In the study of this I trrgedy, as well as in the study oi any that! we may hereafter take tip, to know something | ?<f the condition alul the Importance of thei drama In tin; time of which we write, and by i way of introduction we propose to give a brief) account ol it. So important was the drama In Athens in j the time of 1'ialo, that, on one occasion, when liionysius (if Syracuse wrote to that piiiloso- j idler to tlnd out what was goiiiK on at Athens,! Plato simply sent him a copy of the Clouds, a recent piny of Aristophanes; and we suppose' if lit! had been living In Loudon in tli?j time' of Shakespeare, he would have replied In a similar manner as to what was going on there. The players were really, as Hamlet says, the ' aiistiacts and brief chiontclcsof the 11 rues." iMirn a iiijii^<i.>h rju\v.sj>njh.t wu* not known. Shakespeare had lain in his grave, nt-arly ili'iy years wlu-n "the lir.-t. Ktiglish | newspaper which could properly called a vehicle of general tiiforinutiou" appeared. The want of this, which IS such tin impor-1 hint factor In modern education, was somewhat supplied hy the drama; and so Hamlet { says again of the players, "after your death ; yon were better have a had epitaph than their ! '.II report while you live." As to tins newspa- i; per now, so in the drama then, both the wis-;' dom and the folly, the virtue and the vice,', the glory and the shame of men were held up , to praise or to scorn. The very end u! playing!, Was "to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to na tuf*; to show virtue her own feature, scorn ! her own linage, and Vl'ry age and body of the time his form and pressure." The world was : indeed a stage, and all men,' from the King; whb sat on the throne to the clown who dugj ] grrfves and played the fool, were actors. Wo- ; men did not actually appear on I lie singe un-l, til the time of t'haries II. Uelore the r? ign of; this monarch, whodld so many things to drag! down the honor and virtue of Kugland into the til thy slime of Ins own licentiousness and' pollution, who mocked at female purity, and whose highest glory was his deepest shame. I the parts assigned to women were performed I by hialcs. I n Hamlet, for example, the parts of the ?.Jti"en and Ophelia were not peiformed ' by females; and so when Hamlet, in his talk j 1 with the players in net second, says, "What, I my young lady and mistress! Your ladyship:1 is nearer to heaven than when 1 saw you last,1 ftp.," he is not addressing a leinalc at all, but 1 i4. male who acted a woman's part in the play.1} It would be will, though some might Smile at |1 our old fogy notion, if our modern times re- J sctnbled iu this respect the age of I lie great J ilramatist himself, who never even thought,!' so far as wc know, of introducing female ac-i1 tors upon the stage in his theatres. The tragedy of Hamlet is classed by critics ' Duong Shakespeare's semi-historical works,]' l'he plot seems to be taken partly fronia story ] related bv a li.inish historian of about thei ' twelfth century. \ few things mentioned in 11 the history sug-'Cst-ul hleas which wc sec [ brought out in the play, such as the murder 1 if HamleOi father, the killing of i'oloulus, ' the determination of tlie King to send Hamlet to Kngland. and a low others. Now with these few suggest ions Shakespeare litis given us perhaps (he grandest of all his tragedies. It. has well been called a tragedy' :>f thought; for here the loftiest and deepest; j thoughts that ever engage the attention ol the ,1 <oul find a titling expression in the words of, 1 the great poet, lleie, as if It were not chough .1 to lay open Ihe human heart and expose to]' k'icw its darkest recesses, the land of spirits is | 1 made to yield up the ' sheeted dead," and the;' iwful secieis that belong to the realm of Ihei 1 lepirted are revealed with Just enough dls- ' tinctncss to make us shudder at the thought ]1 >f "what dreams may come when we have | [ .liutlled oil this morial coil." Hero we are! ' taught "there is n special providence in Il?c 1 nil of n sparrow," ami "there'sa divinity that I' hapes our ends, rough hew them how we ' trill." The clilcf chnracter of the piny Is, of course, | ilamlct. and the interest fathers mainly about i f llm. He elicits our admiration and our sym- t ;j:ithy at the very lirst, w hen we see him "in i Dial obligation doing these innuruim: duties i o his father;" and we cannot, hut say with | .he King, "'tis sweet nnd commendable in i four mil iire, llamlet," Our interest Inrreases! i vliun the gliost makes Its nnpallinsj dlsclos- t irc.nnd summons him to take vengeance on , c the serpent that had stung bis lather's 11 le | f ind then was wearing his father's crown." h Imagination could not have placed an liidl-1'' rldtinl in ii sllualior. more peculiar or more I ntere>tin;f. hook at it for a moment. Ham- si et'fi father had been taken otr in a manner so I ieercl Hint it would srrm impossible to <1 is-! I over llie cause, until the time, when, in the!

I o revenge, not to taint nis mind, that is, as I ve understand It. he must not only 6cJ.ist,|l ut must, also u/tpctir J ust in the eyes ot ihe f icoplc of Denmuik. There would have been ' iitli' dlflletilty, if Hamlet had been com- " mfnoed simply to smite the villain down vilhout first showing the Just ice of his cause. iV?' think Ibis Is a point that ought to be careItlly noticed. Those who are just heginnim; ,o study the play ore in danger of overtook in-.: I; and if they lose sight of this, tbe.v will fall o appreciate some of the finest parts.

No wonder, then, when lie ooked iinon the task as.iin posed by thegliost, ic exclaimed, "The tline is nut of joint. O cniwl spite, That ever 1 was born to si t it right!"
