SIIAKESPEAUE'S SILENCE A30UT
TOBACCO.
la "Notes and Queries," for January C, there
is a paper on "Shakespeare's Silenco about
Emokiup," by Mr. Walter Thornbury, to which
notice has been drawn by the llound Table, the
Erpresa, and, we believe, some other Journals.
The writer in "Notes and Queries" asks "How
is it that our prreat dramatist never once makes
even the slightest allusion to smoking? Who can
BUirecBi a reason ?" He attempts to answer the
query, and suggests two reasons:
"1. Our preut poet may have aimed at a cer
tain idealism, and have ihoueht the new lashiou
too tuvial and epiiemcral to deserve notice.
"2. Asa prudent manager and courtier (for
did he not eulogi.o Elizabeth extravagantly in
JUevry 111, and almost IuIboiiioIv in Midsumnur
Mights' Dream and 'James I,' in Macbeth?) he
may havo thought it unwise to praise a custom
detested by tne Klug, etc."
For the fiit reason he has no ground, as, by
bis own showing, matters of vastly minor im
portance were not too trivial for Shakespeare's
notice; and, in the second, Mr. Thornbury has
been anticipated, in America, by Mr. John Sav
age, on a broader basis than mere obsequious
ness to the king, however prudential that might
have been.
In the Merchants'1 Magazine," for June and
August, 1862, the lending" place is gived to a con
tinuous article, entitled "Tobacco: Historical,
Statistical, Diplomatic, and Literary," written
by Mr. Savage, in which the sublect is reviewed
in tho various relations indicated by the title.
In that article. Mr. Savage suggested that
Shakespeare's silence on tho subject of tobacco
and smoking was strong efid-uceof the party
spirit maniiested lor and against tho nse of to
bacco; and above which his business foresight
and equally-poised brain rose superior; in the
same degree that Spenser, Joanson, and others,
less well-balanced intellects, took sides on the
exciting question.
If Mr. Thornbury's remarks are worthy of
notice on this side of the Atlantic, Mr. Savage's
are especially in the same connection; a9 there
is a very remarkable coincidence of illustration
between them. Having given Mr. Thornbury's
suggested reasoDS for Shakspeare's silence, we
give that portion of Mr. Savage's article touching
on the subject:
"Notwithstanding that the use of tobacco was
fashionable with, the wits and gallants, it was
made the subject ot satire by even those who
were not averse to a quiet pipe and bottle ot
sack. That there were two parties to the
tobacco question, even when Raleigh and the
court circle gave to smoking that character
which, in historical chronicles, takes the place
of popularity, is very evident from one especial
tact. That is, that Shakespeare does not men
tion tobacco, or smoking, in any way tending
either to advocate or abuse the weed. Shake
speare was a famous man ot business, had a dis
creet, well-poised brain, which could devote ittself
to all things give grace to the lowest, or honor
to the highest walk. In our day he could suc
cessfully pursue any calling from the monoto
nous routine ot a city railroad conductor to
the far-reaching emereencies of a cabinet minis
ter. Discretion he regarded as a solid basis for
success. In business matters he clearly deemed
a decent respect for the opinion of mankind not
the least important attraction to am us 2 those by
whom he was to live. Thii toeling would make
him not less a courtier to the sovereiea peoile
than to the people's sovereign. Though friendly
wich Raleigh, ne had sufficient discretion to
deny himself the exaltation of his friend's to
bacco weakness, lest he might offend a rival
party; and, per contra, declined to abuse to
bacco, lent be might exalt the opponents ot tho
new custom at the expense of his. friend. So,
with his usual busiuen tact, he concluded to
say nothing about it. 'Pipes' and 'smoke' are
mentioned by Shakespeare; but the) former are
not those through, which the latter is drann;
nor the latter that which circled from human
mouths, or snorted from human nostrils, though
Doth may have suggested the metaphor of
'liomco':
" 'Love is a smoke, made with tbe fume of sis-hs ;
Being pufl'd, a lire sparkling in lover' eyes '
"The greatest of Shakespeare's poetical and
dramatic contemporaries, Spenser and Ben Jon
son, were less discreet, and entered, in various
decrees, into the let-lings of the era on the mat
ter. The lormer, whose turmoils with, show
him to have been equally excitable as, the Irish,
was a devoted friend of Raleigh, by whom he
was visited at his Irish home of Kilcolman, and
through whom he received the laureateship
from Elizabeth. No wonder he could see a vir
tue in the American plant, and call it 'divine
tobacco.' Jonson, notorious (or his brawls, his
Suasions, and emphatic nature, was not likely to
e neutral. He has given us the temper of rhe
times. Alter his fashion. "Captain Bobadil" thus
enlarges on the great qualities of tobacco:
"'Sir, believe me upon my relation for what
I tell you the world shall not reprove. I huva
been in the Indies, where this herb grows
where neither myself, nor a dozen gentlemen
more ot my knowledge, have received the tate
of any other nutriment in the world, for the
space of one-and-twouty weeks, but the fume of
this simple herb onlv. Therefore it cannot be
but 'tis most divine. Further, take it in the true
kind, so, it makes an aiitidote that, had you
taken the most deadly poisonous plant in all
Italy, it thould expel it and clarify you with as
much eupe as I speak. And tor 'your green
wound your baLsamum, and your St. John's
wort, are all mere eulleries and trash to it, espe
cially jour Triuidado. Your Nicotian Is goo I,
too. I could say want I knovv of it lor the expul
sion of rheums, raw humors, cruditle, obstruc
tions wifh a thousand of this kiad; b it I profu-s
myself no quacksalver; only thus much, by
Hercules, I do hold it, and will atlirm it before
any priuce in Europe, to be the most sovereign
and precious weed that ever the earth tendered
to the use of man.'
'This speech,' quoth 'Young Kno'well,' asLle,
"wouiii nave uo'e uecenuy iu u looacco-tradcr's
mouth.'
"In the same plav Eoem Man in hw Tlu-

"It will be not' d that Jonson ptiU the praise
of tobacco into the mouths of the gallants, or
would-be cullart ". and its dispraibe to the credit
ot the poorer clcrwp, showing distinctly that, if
thctc wiiS a ti htoiiable pnrtv fur, there was a
popular party against it. It Is likely that the
latter, as in such eiues, were mainly antagonistic
to that which they could not obtain tobacco
I eing an expensie indulgence. If Shakespeare
did not wifh to displease either party, it i even
more evident tha. ?onson desired to please both."
We have said there was a rrmarkablo cohici
deLce between Mr. Thornbury'.1? article of Janu
ary, 18U0, and 11 r. Savage's remarks of Jim",
18G2. Indeed, there is even a striking similarity,
not only in the general outline, but in the fill
ing up.
The former show -r,, as does the latter, that the
gallants and "lying ad venturers, like 'Bobadil.'"
boasted of the vrtnes of tho weed, aud also
that the "shrewd water-cairier, 'Cob,'" rails at
ropuish tobacco. Mr. Savage says it is likely
that the poorer classes, tho party represented by
"Cob," were sntr.gonistic to- ihe fashionable
party because thev could not have similar enjoy
ments; and Mr. Thornbury says:
"Tbe poor, on the other hand, not disinclined
to be envious and detracting when judging rich
men's actions, laugued," etc.
Many of the same quotations are used by both,
though in a different manner, to the same end,
a, for instance, Mr. Savage introduced a pa-sage
from a noted diama:
"In his Alc'.ii!'vu-t, produced when King
James had been sLune years on tho throne, Ben
Jonson suggests t ie arts and whole business of
the tobacconists) of the period, where "Face"
introduced "Able Drugget" to "Subtle" thu?:
"ilii 18 my Irit in! Abel, an honest follow)
lie lets mo lmvo pood tobacco, and ho does not
t-opliiBtiraio it w.tu Rack-cos or oil,
Nor waalies it in muscatel and prams,
Nor bnilpK it In travel, underground,
Wrappod np in s-ica-y leather, or o'onts,
But keeps ii m lle ill v pots that, opened.
Smell like coutstive of rosea, or French beans,
lie liasi bis n apie-Llock. his silver touus.
Winchester pip t , and lire ot juniper."
Mr. Thornbury v3 this paspagc without any
allusion to Ben Joia-on,or his play, as follows:
"The tobacco mi reliant was an important per
son m the London of James tho First's time
with his Winchester pipes, his maple cutting
blocks, his .juniper wood charcoal tires, and his
silver tongs with which to hand the hot char
coal to his customers, although he was shrewdly
suspected of adulteiu ing the precious weed witii
sarK-lees and oil. I .was his custom to wash tbe
tobacco in muscadr-l and grains, and to keep it
moist by wrapping it in greaied leather and
oiled rays, or by burying it in gravel."
Where did he get authority lor oiled rags?
It would seem thc.t Mr. Thornbury had read
Mr. Savage's paper, and, in thin instance, had
been led into error by an omis3ion in the sixth
line of tho above quotation. Any one who
reters to the first act of The Alchyuiist, will at
once perceive the reason of A)r. Savage's
omicsion, and bo led to believe that Mr.
Thornbury could not have described the tobacco
merchant with Ben Jonson before him. His
translormed description of the tobacconist's
arts is similar to Jcnpon's, sav in that especial
particular omitted by Mr. Savage; and for
which Mr. Thornbury substitutes "oiled rass,"
which are not alluded to by Jonson, and were
not used at all.
This is outside of the Shakespearian bearings
of the subject, but tends to piove that Mr.
Thornbury, in reviving, this year, the query as
to the great dramatist's silence on tobacco, and
the suggested reasons therelor, bad Mr. Sa
vage's remarks on that subject, published three
and a half years previous, in his mind's eye.

A New Islnnd-IScmnrlinble Phenomena
A Volcanic Upheaval.
A coriccr oudcrit ot tho London Jimes, writing
from Atttiif, Greece, announces that a new
itlnud bcjtnn to rise above the level of the sea in
the Bay ot Thera (Santorin), in the Grecian
Archipelago, on the 4th of February, and in five
dajs it attained the height of irora one hundred
and thirty icet to one hundred and titty feet,
with n length ot upwards ot three hundred and
fifty feet and a brendih of one hiiudrcd feet. It
continues to increase, and consists of a rusty
black metallic lava, very heavy, and resembling
hali-fmelted scoria w hich has boiled up from a
furrr.ee. It contains many small w hitish semi
transparent particli g disseminated through the
rcnr9 l'ke quartz or feldspar.
The eruption began on the 31t of January.
A ik ire Iiko volleys of artillery was heard,
but without any carthnur.ke. On the Icllowitjjr
day flames issued from tne sea, in a part of the
ony called Vulkanos, where the water is always
discolored and impregnated with sulphur from
abundant spiings at the bottom. Tho flames
lofc at intervals t- tho lu-ieht of fifteen feet,
and w ere seen at times to i.-sao from tne south-
weftern pnrt of Nea Kaimcne. That Island was
oon rent by a deep llesure. and tuo southern
port sank considerably.
On the 4th of Febi uary the eruptions became
more violent aud the sea more disturbed. Gas
toiccd itself up from the depths with terrific
noise, reFembling the bursting of a steam boiler;
names arose at intervals, ana wnne smose,
ising steadilv. formed an immense column.
crowned with a curled capital of dark heavy
clouds. The new Hand was visible next morn
ing, increasing sensiblv to the eye as It rose
out of tue sea at no great distance to Ihe south
ot Isca Kaimene.
The new lalatd has been visited by Dr. Deivi-
galla, a man ol science and an able observer,
who will record accurutcly all the phenomena
ot the f ruption as it pioceeds, The heat of the
sea roc Irom C2 Fahrenheit to 122 as near the
vicinity ot volc.-inic action as it was safe to
approach. Ihe bottom ot the sea all round iSea
Kaimene appears to have risen greatly. In one
place, where the depth is marked on the Admi
ralty churt oiie hundred lathoms, it was found
to be only thirty, and at another where it was
seventeen it is now only three fathomn. The
new island, as it increases, w ill Diobably form a
junction with Nea Koimcce. It grows, as it
were, out oi the pea, tne mass oeiow pushing
upwards that which is alreadv abovp water.
The lower part is hot, its figures, where they
are deep, being 170 F'ahrenheit, and the upper
part, alter lour days' exposure, was found to be
still 80.
At rresent the centre of the volcanic force lies
evidently lar below the bottom ot the sea, aud
only gases and smoke work their way through
the incumbent earth to the water, and escape iD
noise, flames, ana smoke to the surface. But
should a fissure at the bottom of the sea allow
tho water to penetrate to the flies that throw up
the melted metal of tho new island to the sur
face, an eruption may take place of a kind simi
lar 10 that which destroy cd Pompeii, but lar
more terrible.
The ei option that formed the present island of
Nea Kaimene began in the year 1707, and the
volcanic action continued, without doinsr any
serious injury to tho inhabitants of Thera, until
1713. It is possible tho present eruption may
continue as long, and be ao mild in its operation.
But as late as lGuO a terrible eruption laid waste
great purt of the island, and raised an island on
its northeastern coast, which soon sank again
into the sea, leaving a shoal.
The Island of Old Kaimene made Its first an-
f carauce in the year 198 before the Christian era.
ts size was increased by several eruptions men
tioned in history. The last addition it received
was in 1457. The Small Kaimene, which Is
nearest to Thera, was thrown up in 1573. All
the eruptions tn tbe bays have been attended
with similar phenomena.
The British naval commander at Malta has
sent two ships to the scene of these phenomena.
A letter dated February 7, containing the latest
news, savs:
"The same smoke and fire in the evening as
yesterday, and the hillock continues its opera
tions, ihe sea, too boils beyond the cove more
than yesterday. Tho hillock, or land, will pro
bably by to-morrow increase as far as the en
trance to the cove, and be joined by its sides."
The Next Cotton Crop.
In Ihe March number of Be Bow's Review the
editor, who has just completed a tour through
the Cotton State?, estimates the next cotton crop
at not more than one million five hundred thou-
Fand baks. He adds: "These figures are not
likely to be increased by anything that it is now
to happen, and maybe greatly reduced bv the
ignoiance, neglect, or detertion of the laboring
forces, w Inch, judging from the experience of all
other countries, is more nicely to occur than not,
and to reduce the crop to one million or one
million two hundred thousand baled. No ao
count is taken in the calculation of the anolica
tion of white labor to cctton. bevond what was
applied to it belore the war. The extensive mor
tality of the war has made white labor at the
Soutn very scarce, and so far it is absorbed in
the necefsury pursuits oi the mechanic arts aud
trade, which have been lurnhhing most luca
tive employment. The wear and tear and
frightiul destruction caused bv the war opened
other channels ot employment besides agricul
ture. The increase of white labor at the South.
so far as the next crop is concerned, from immi-
? ration, is too tntting to be taken into account,
he aggrep.ate number of laborers introduced is
insignificant, and so far is largely absorbed tn
tne cities."
Mrs. Bigelow. wile of the American Minister
in Paris, is seriously ill. Tbe French papers
describe the modest menage or the republican
representative with much admiration for its
Spartan simplicity, one lournal lound Mr.
Bigelow cooking his own ham and eggs, without
any attendant to wait on him, and appears to
think that these domestic incidents are tit sub
jects ot public curiosity.
