selves continual new acknowledgment as
time goes on. New editions of his Works
Appear every year in Great Britain, America,
Germany, and even in France and other
countries where English is a hard language
to -comprehend. But the most striking proof
of the growing, appreciative love for Shaks
poste is given in the multiplication of books
concerning him and his writings. .Even the
sash adventurers who tried to make a sews -
lion by questioning the authorship of the
plays, have excited curiosity and made many
new students of Shakspeare. The study of
Ma a genius is immeasurable and inexhaus
tible, and when a mature, thoughtful scholar
makes his writings his theme, he is sure to
present new suggestions, or to make some
fresh presentation of the character of the ge
nius that be studies.
Messrs. G. P. Putnam & C0.,0f New York,
are the publishers of a handsome volume en
titled "The Shakspeare Treasury of Wisdom
and Knowledge," by Charles W. Stearns, M.
D. It c ontains a series of a dozen or more
essays, the result of earnest, conscientious,
loving.study of the great poet. Each essay
presents a theme suggested by a consideration
of Bhairapeare, the illustrations of which are
extracts from his writings, with only occa
sional and modest presentations of the essay
ist's own ideas, Under the title "Shak
speare's Practical Wisdom" there are many
pages' showing his universal knowled4e,
which seemed to be ages ahead of his own
time: 'The fourth chapter, on his "specta
_knowledge," illustrates by quotations hi-
fruUlliarity with a won•erfu num aer o pa
titular subjects. Then there are chapters o❑
ltie religious sentiments, his estimate of
woman, his fitness as a guide for youth, his
travels, &s., all of which are full of valuable
idea&
'A:Me decided merit of Dr. Stearns's book
on Shakepeare is that it selects from all his
plays passages relating to various subjects
and arranges and classifies them. By this
method the student, or the merely curious
reader who may not be a student,can observe
how he treats a topic, or how he inculcates
a moral sentiment,trom the language used by
many diverse characters under many and
diverse circumstances. There are chapters,
tco,on particular subjects that show research,
scholarship and much technical as well as
general knowledge. Among these are those
on Shakspeare's military knowledge, on
Hamlet's insanity, on Americanisms in his
plays, &c., each of which will be enjoyed by
every lover of the-great dramatist. The
chapter on "Advantagei - from Reading
19hakepeare," is an essay of really Addisonlan
character, in a style such as the average
writers for the magazines of the day do not
aim at, because it is the reverse of the sensa
tional trickiness that, seems to be the style
now-a-days. An extract from this essay will
serve as an example of the style of Dr.
Stearns, and it is well worth detaching and
preserving by those who may not possess his
book and may yet need some spur to make
them study Shakspeare. Here it is:
If a person whom fortune had kept, during
the early part of his life, in some degree of
isolation and seclusion,and removed from the
stream and bustle of the great world, and
who had, in the meantime, read and studied
llShakspeare's plays pretty thoroughly—if such
an one should then chance to be pushed Bud
dealt' forth from his retirement into that
World which he had never yet beheld, he
would be in little danger of being surprised or
deceived by hie after experiences. It may
be said that no one who has not had some
previous personal experience of human life
and the ways of the w or ld can appreciate and
undrstand any considerable part of what
Shakspeare teaches. This is true; yet the
human mind is so constituted, that it can
and will, with a little aid, anticipate its own
experiences; so that, when these experiences
come,they do not seem so strange and novel,
nor find us wholly unprepared. Indeed, what
else does philosophy, what does religion, whit.'
does all education aim at, but to prepare us
for untried events?
If we desire it, Shakspeare will give us a
knowledge of the world before we enter it.
Nor is it the rustic only who may need this
knowledge. The man of business, living in
a great metropolis, but absorbed in one pur
suit, and seeing only the same set of people
from one year's end to another, may be al
most as unsophisticated as the Green- moun
tain boy; and he would often appear so,were
it not fur hie tailor, and one or two other per
sons whom he employs. Even Othello, at
sixty, after all his campaigns, was a novice in
the world, compared to the least of all the
other personages in the play. Had he been a
reading man—a reader of good poetry and
plays—he never could have been so duped
and betrayed.
Shakspeare himself cannot possibly have I
ever seen the one--tenth part of the giant
Aworld, with all its human life and character
he has so truly set before our eyes. Yet the
common sense, knowledge and judgment
that his pages yield, is for us unbougat expe
rience, because it is got without being paid
for with our own time, health and coin,ii we
will only accept of it. It is knowledge of the
world gratis, and may be had before it is too
late to be of any use to us.
Most of Shakepeare's characters, in some
semblance or stage of development, may, and
probably do, exist in many a moderate sized
country town; which, by the way, is a better
place for studying human nature than either a
small village or a large city. True, these ob
scure, "mute,inglorious" Shakspearian repre
sentatives have not crowns and coronets on
their beads, nor do they wear velvet robes or
coats of mail; but they have the same brain
and heart formation as their greater types.
Hence we may sometimes recognize within a
mall community indications of possible L3dy
Macbetbe or Queen Katharines, of Lears and
Hamlets, and very often, indeed, of some of
the Dramatist's lesser conceptions.
Present delight with after profit doubly re
ward the diligent reader of Shakepeare. Of
the direct and immediate pleasure he affords
us there is no need to speak. His dramatic
skill, the force and variety of his epithets, the
power of his language, musically smooth
without monotony; the multitude of distinctly
individualised characters besets in motion; the
surpassing beauty and grandeur of his images;
the quality of humor, unlike the humor of all
other 'writers, imperishable;—all these are
themes on which it is difficult to discourse
without dander of becoming rhapsodical, and
possibly incoherent.
We may more safely dilate upon the sec
ondary or final benefit from reading Shalt

in their writings. The best journalists and
editors, both in England and in this coun'ry,
as constantly betray the same source of
power. If artists, too, would study him
more, not for the purpose of making illustra
tions and designs, but as discipline to their
own imaginative powers, their efforts in art,
though wholly unconnected with his scenes
and characters,would most certainly show an
improved result.
In abort, all those who would cultivate a
taste free from mawkishness, who would ac
quire a judgment that can measure moral and
social values; all those of every degree who
write, speak, design, or think for others, let
them, discipline their faculties by the study of
Shakspeare. If you object to this claim for
his grcat influence by saying that he has
often failed to give power and judgment to
some even of his life-long followers and de
votees; I simply reply, that they most cer
tainly - thotight and wrote much better than
they ever could have done had they not known
him whom they so affect to admire and study.
That individual who wishes simply to im
prove himself in mind and heart, let him also
learn from Shakspeare. To the young he
supplies many and noble sentiments, with
lessons in modesty, courage and virtue. In
him we find an unerring moral sense—a sense
-olustice,or_what is duel° others; a sense of
propriety, or the fitness of things; a sense of
honor, or what is dignified, refined and po
lite; a sense of the fine arts, or what
constitutes the bettutiful; a sense of
what is wise and what is foolish
and absurd, though for the time upheld by
fashion or authority; and, lastly, a sense of
humanity, or whatever is charitable and be
nevolent;—of all these was be possessed in a
large measure as with the poetic sense, and a
sense of the humorous.
So great is his power and influence for
good, that it is admitted he has had much to
ao with developing and fixing some of the
best traits in the character of the British peo
ple, and that their national greatness at this
day is in no small part due to the teaching of
this single mind. Would that we of America,
while our material character is yet forming,
might be brought under the same wise and
ennobling influence. Shakspeare wrote for
the people more than for scholars; and every
man that can read may freely share;the bene
fit of his wisdom, his knowledge, his poetry
and his humor.
This excellent book, which will be enjoyed
and prized by every true lover of Sbakspeare,
is published in the best style. Its author, in
his preface, modetly says shat one of his mo
tives in writing it was to stimulate, in young
readers, an interest in the one author, who,of
all others, can best improve the taste, dignify
the character and strengthen the judgment.
While acknowledging the excellence of this
motive, we cannot hely claiming for the book
very high estimation in the minds of others
besides the young.

Bentley, of Llndon, has ventured to pub

"It is quite sate to pronounce 'My Adven

impudent in every way, and reckless in every
page; an insolent piece of brag, a defiance of
public taste and an outrage on public law.
"Beyond personal bounce and swagger,
reckless abuse of his country, and loathsome
flattery of ours, there is absolutely nothing in
'My Adventures Afloat.' Mr. Semmes is
good enough to say that 'so far as ale own
career was concerned,the author would gladly
have devolved the labors of the historian on
other shoulders.' It would have been wiser
to have done so. No 'historian,' we under
take to say, would have touched the subject.
The theme is not attractive. The story of a
war-ship which burns unarmed traders until
sherfalls in with an equal,and then goes down
for ever, is not a topic for worthy pens to
handle."
TER STATUE FOR OUR LINOTIX MODlumgar.
—Dr. Rolland writes as follows in a private
letter from Rome :
What do you suppose I went first to see in
Rome? Not St. Peter's, nor the Coliseum,
but Randolph Rogers's colossal statue of Abra
ham Lincoln. It was unveiled to the public
the morning after myarrival,and I was among
the first to pay it attention and homage. It
is, without any qualification, a grand mimesis,
and the city of Philadelphia, for which it has
been modeled, will, after the Munich found
ers have translated it into bronze, possess in
it the finest representation extant of the hon
ored and lamented subject. The figure of
Mr. Lincoln was not au elegant' one, and the
marvel of the statue ii that, without the ad
dition of a single fictition3 grace, it presents
Mr. Lincoln to the eye as a grand man. Tee
figure is seated in a chair, over which is
thrown a cloak, and this cloak is the only
"accessory." In one hand it holds an open
scroll, representing the emancipation procla
mation, and in the other a pen. There is
nothing else but plain Abraham Lincoln in
his froth coat and truwsers. The face,docply

MISIMMENiMini
Miesques and Minarets.
A correspondent of the Springfield .Repub
lican i , writing from Constantinople, says :
At the, town, of. Dardanelles, on the Asiatic
side of the straits' of the sanie name, you first
obtain a sight, ,of the Turkish mosque and
minaret. On approaching Constantinoplo,as
the city rises up gracefidly from the shores,
the same objects aremo prominent in the
foreground, and add much to the general ar -
chitectural effect. Indeed, without them
there would be a good deal of tameness of
appearance, as aside from the public build
ings and the Sultan's and Pasha's palaces,
there are few edifices of note, and quite mo
notonous, especially In old Stamboul. But
the mosque and minaret are striking objects,
and the tont ensemble on the whole is very
fine. There are said to be three hundred
mosques in the city, showing, as
Dr. Goodell used to say, that there
is plenty of religion in Con
stantinople ; the deficit being In quality,
not in quantity. But not more than ten or
twelve of these are prominent or of any spe
cial note. These are large and capacious,
often of white marble, and in their exterior
not specially remarkable. The interior I have
yet to see, but, unlike many of the expensive
Christian cathedrals of Europe, are said to be
very plain, and, in my estimation, all the bet
ter fitted, theretore, for the purposes for
which a religious temple should be used—
spiritual worship. I can but think excessive
ornamentation is here in ill taste. The large
dome of the mosque is well proportioned and
striking, but not essentially difierent from
that-of an _European cathedral. Standing
alone it would be somewhat bald but it is
relieved by the " graceful market. This last
stands at an appropriate angle of the build
ing, and to a large mosque there are
one, two,_ three or four, as the ease
may be. They are also scattered singly, that
is, isolated from any mosque, but of a lower
height,usually through the city. 'rhe minaret
is a circular structure of masonry, six to
twelve feet In diameter, of uniform circum
ference up to the point where it tapers, and
rising often to a height of one hundred and
fifty feet, I judge. Some two-thirds the way
up a projection of masonry is thrown out all
around, the base being not fiat or horizontal,
but the segment of an arch. This forma a
balcony, around which is a balustrade, and
thrown around the whole, one, two or three
rows of little box-like projections appear, for
lights, used now during Ramazan, for
illumination, and when lighted the
eflixt is fine. Above this bal
cony, the structure ie carried to a proper
height, which, gradually tapering for ten or
twelve feet, it terminates,in a point, crowned
by a crescent, but sometimes the form of a
lyre. A door from the interior leads out upon
the balcony, and at the proper hour—sunrise,
midday, sunset,and perhaps others,the mnez
all comes out and, passing . around to the
various quarters, summons in a loud vaice,
the faithful to prayer; when the true believer,
turning his face towards Mecca, repeats the
prescribed form of words from the Koran.
There would be something beautiful and fitt
ing in this, if Christianized, and it were
spiritual,and the offering of sincere desire; but
it is understood to be a mere form of pre
scribed words, and not at all a prayer to the
Deity.
THE ABSENCE OF BELLS.
In connection with the mosques I must
note the entire absence of bells from the city.
I must speak of Stamboul only; how it may
be in Pera, across the Horn, I know not; but,
excepting the diminutive bell on the little
Protestant chapel, heard six or eight rods, I
have not been made conscious of a single
one since I came. Of course, Ido not in
clude the little tinkling bells on the necks of
the burden-bearing beasts, the horse, donkey
and camel. From these the
"—tintinnabulation of the bells, bells. bells."
with monotonous tone, is heard continually.
The absence of the bell is the more marked
by us from the frequency with which in our
own and other Christian lands it is made to
resound in sympathy with human wants and
feelings. The knell of grief, the peal of joy,
the tocsin of alarm, the summons to worship—
these are but a portion ot the uses to which
we apply it. The peal of joy the Turk hardly
heeds. Very little outward expression ot
grief or ceremony cf any kind is witnessed at
funerals. I met, a few days since, a group
of six or eight bearing a corpse to its rest.
The coffin was borne head foremost on the
sbouldtrs of men, the fez of the deceased
resting upon it. Some brief religious ser
vice, 1 believe, is held at the grave—the grief
at the loss being somewhat neutralized by
the ill grounded hope of a paradise beyond
The fife-alarm is by a ball displayed from
two high towers in the day, and unearthly
screams at night, and the shrill cry of the
muezzin is the only summons to worship,
instead of our cheerful "church-going bell. '
I should have mentioned in connection
with the minaret that its use is not merely
theological, but horological, as welL Tut,
muezzin's cry at sunset indicates the begin
nir•g of the Turkish day, as from'that point
they reckon time—the petiod until the next
sunset being divided into twenty-four equal
parts—twelve for the night and twelve for the
day. Thus, if the sun seta at five, our hour of
four is eleven o'clock by Turkish reckoning.
This movable period of beginning the day
seems to us singular and inconvenient, but
appears to have been the old Jewish method.

Mr. Stewart, Fran the Judiciary Committee,
called up the bill for the removal of political

Mr. Coziness moved to strike out the name of
Ass Rogers, of Virginia.
Mr. Stewart said there seemed 'to be a great
difference of opinion in relation to the merits of
Mr. Rogers, and be would neither favor nor op
pose the ;notion to strike out.
Trmnbull opposed the motion, and asked
Mr. Cenness the reason for it.
Mr. Conntes said it was because Mr. Rozers
was still an arrant rebel, unfit to have the prim
kge of citizenship.
Mr.. Howard said the man had been elected
Second Auditor of Virginia. and merely sought
relief so as to be enabled to hold the office witp-
Gut claiming to be a Union man.
Mr. Trumbull said that each of the persons
named in the bill had each made a written appli
cation for relief, in which he had expressed his
intention to obey the laws and sustain the gov
ernment. Mr. Rogers had done this, and that
was not coneistent , with the statement of Mr.
Howard.
Mr. Willey was unable to give any informa
tion about Mr. Rogere'a action during the war,
or present attitude toward the Government, but
be knew his reputation before the war to have
teen that of a gentleman of high character and
standing in the community.
Mr. Howard read a letter enclosing resolutions
of the Grant , and Colfax Club of Richmond.
earnestly protesting against the removal of the
disabilities of several office-holders in Virginia,
areoeg them Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Ferry hoped the name of Mr. Rogers would
not be stricken out. He bad observed that when
ever any man holding office at the Smith applied
for relief from his political disabilities, there were
always a suffieknt number of his neighbors, who
wanted the office for themselves, to get up a re
monstrance.
Mr. Trumbull commented upon the fact that
the Grant and Collar Club of Richmond gave no
reason against relieving Mr. Rogers, except that
they, the club, "earnestly protested" against,
If the Senate of the United States wad to be
merely a body to register the decrees of the Grant
and Colfax clubs of Richmond and elsewhere in
the South, it was time that fact should be known.
This Grant and Colfax club protested against the
relief of certain office-holders probably because
they wanted the offices themselves.
Mr. Tipton—They have the right to them.
Mr. Trumbull—Suppose the people don't want
to elect them—have they a right ; to the offices ?
Mr. Howard—They have.if the people are re
bele.
Mr. Trumbull asked Mr. Tipton whether he
would like to have the majority of the people of
Nebraska treated in that way.
Mr. Tipton said that nothing would please him
better if the majority of .tho people of Nebraska
were Miele:
Mr. Conkling was not in favor of an indiscrimi
nate removal of disabilities, but thought Mr.
Rogers, in emedderation of his personal character
and personal position, better entitled to the re
moval of hie disabilities than many others who
had theirs removed.
Mr. Sawyer thought the idea that no one at the
- I . South should have hie disabilities removed unless
Dep. he was recommended by the Republicans in his
