By George Pnblished by Peter ,E. Abel, Philadel r phia r lB69.-L-Included in the sculptural. design for Shakespeare's tomb at Stratford is a hatch inent, with the siniulacre of a spear leaning ~across the shield. This inclined or shaken i2spear is the' sign adopted by the poet's family (on the principle of the rebus so common in heraldry) to represent the name which even • . then had some antiquity, and in which the t i Stratford butchers probably bad a decent pride up to the time when one of the race degraded it by making himself a playwright and a " shake-scene." On this principle, that of the Charade, posterity it forced to rely for the spelling of the poet's name. It cannot rely on his own writing. The .• three signatures to his will look like Shakspeare. In a mortgage-deed by the Corporation of London, the name is spelled, with an admirable economy 'of vowels, Shaksper. In the Stratford registers of his own baptism and burial; and, of the baptism of his children, it is the same, with the addition of a final e. This lasrmode was evidently the most usual in the poet's day. Yet his own brother, Gilbert, signed Shakespeir. At that time the orthogro phy of a signature bad not the importance it now possesses; even in public documents, the seal was the important piece of evi• Bence, not the name. Spelling of all kinds was unsettled, and signatures fluctuating, from those of royalty down. We have therefore warrant, under the circumstances, in goingback as' aforesaid to the principle of the rebus, and spelling the members of that rebus as the translators of Fang James's Bible (the nearest approach to an English . Academy, perhays), would have spelt them. This theory leaves us ' Shakespeare; and to that spelling the poet i .himself gives countenance, not by ever writing it so, that we can find, but by leaving it thus in the two volumes of his works published under his personal Supervision and that of his friend Ben Jenson. This is the spelling' adopted by Dyce, Ilalliwell and Collier. It is the spelling approved by Mr. George Wise in this monograph. It is the spelling adopted by Mr. C. F. Ilaseltine, the collector and expert, in the largest private illustrated form of the poet's works we know of. And it is the spell lug habitually followed by the Buer,ere4l. Mr. Wise's little monograph not only set tles this question as above, but gives a roost curious alphabetical list of the varlet; lectiones, to the number offnur thousand. These lists occupy sixty-four close columns. They are printed exquisitely and carefully by Wise him self on creauf-laid quarto pages, with a luxury of margin that affords ample room and verge enough for the most voluminous annotators. It is a curious fancy in Mr. Wise to adopt some of the most singular among these spa . hugs for parts of his own text. In the run ning head-lines over the pages the name is spelt in all sorts of ways, and in the "Author's note" several of the capricious orthographies are adopted,a spelling never being repeated. In the title and essay proper, however,the name is spelt consistently Shakespeare, except in one place on page 14, where the final vowel is expunged, we cannot tell whether intentionally or no. The central part of the pamphlet . isdevoted to fac similes of the few known autographs of the dramatist, with neat accounts of the originals. Among these we may point out the sad icono clastic fact, that the tourist's popular signature of Shakespeare, which many of us have gasped over ,in the British Museum—that on the fly leaf of- Florio's Montaigne—is probably false. " There is no reliable evidence of its autheu ticny, and any practised expert could readily have written it." Mr. Wise dedicates to Edwin Forrest, and acknowledges invaluable assistance" from Dr. Mackenzie FRAVELS IN TINE CAILICASIIN. Two famous members of the Alpine Club, Messrs. Freshfield and Tucker, have lately "twitched their mantles blue', and sought fresh fields and pastures among the regions of the Central Caucasus. Their account ("'Travels in the Central Caucasus and Bastian : " Lou don, 1860) contains a succession of perilous adventures. Thus in ascending a long and steep ice-slope between the two summits of :Mount Kazbek, a mountain higher than Mont Blanc, our travelers entered upon this painful situation : For the next four hours there was scarcely one easy step. The ice, when not bate, was thinly coated with snow. A long steep ice slope is bad enough in the first state, as moun tain-climbers know, but it is infinitely worse in the second. In bare ice a secure step ,may be cut ; through loose incoherent snow it can went through the form of cut ting, but it was of little use to the two front men, and none at all to those in the rear. In many places we found the safest plan was to crawl up on our hands and knees, clinging with feet and ice axes to the slippery staircase. It has always remained a mystery to us how we got from step to step without a slip. The difficulties of the feat were increased by a bitter wind, which slept. across the slope in fitful blasts of intense fury, driCing the snow in blinding showers into ' our faCes as we crouched down for shelter, and ; , ''inuinbing our bands to such a degree that we tould scareely:ketain hold of our axes. Sudden crashings of the glaciers have occa - sionally caused terrific inundations in the 14•14: 'vane* of Terek, beneath this mountain.

' That i 9 very possible. Yon see, I received orders from Tiflis to go and report on the state of the mountain. Why should I peril my life to no purpose? I could not avert the danger, so I wrote,• and. said the mountain was much 48 usual. , Then I got second instructions; I was to go in person and ' send •a ' full detailed report ' of the ' exact nature , of the danger. to 'be apprehended. I started ;- I .7 climbed into that horrible glen ;,4 saw preci pices overhanging my head—torrents roaring' at my feet. Sinitionly I came in view of a ' whole mountain of ice, already • torn into fragments by the steepness of the slope to which it clung. To advance was certain death. • I reflected on My wife and 'children, tled back to the road as quickly as possible, and reported that the expected avalanche had fallen, and • that, happily, no one was ;the worse for it.' Then,' asked Mons. K., the celebrated ava lanche of 1842 never existed but 'on paper-in fact, is your creation ?' Exactly, Monsieur;' was the reply.l • (inc mighty peak, that of Uschba,. is" de- Scribed by Mr. Freslitield as "beyond all cola- i parison the most wonderful mountain mass" he had ever beheld: mendous towers, separated by a deep depres sion. The twin summits resembled one another in fonn, , and appeared to be long roof like ridges,' falling away in slopes of mingled rock and ice of terrific steepness. The idea of climbing either of them seemed too insane to be so much as suggested, and even the lower spurs of the mountain ' above the meadows of Betscho are so tremendous that it looked as if a stone dronped from the top of either of the peaks would scarcely stop rolling before it reached the valley. There was , no mistake about it; the Caucasian Matterhorn was found at last, only here we had one Matterhorn piled on another, and then multiplied by two." - SPRING, TEE': FORGER OF AUTO- Spring, the inconvenient person who has told us he forged the Washington autograph in Independence Ball, is the hero of one of the Saturday iteriew's latest snarls. This diatribe, bas,o curious infelicity,the title "An American Ghoul," though the second paragraph acknow ledges Spring to be an Englishman, and the whole tenor of the piece shows that he is a feaster on the quick, not on the dead. But, at any rate, the " American Ghoul " earns the following first-class notice. • The Review, of . course, gets SPEING spelt Sprague: • Mr. Sprague's (sic) talents were too . diversi- ington, but then he forged with a difference. Being charged with.having manufactured the great hero's MS. by tracing paper, he denies the charge; vehementiy, pathetically, even hysterically. He has too • much -respect for the sacred handwriting of Wash ington to submit it' to this indignity, and too much respect for his own honor to use his gifts in this mean and vulgar way. No; he " has not prostituted his abilities in that way. He. hopes his band will wither from his arm if he ever does "—and a good many of his vic tims will wish that his right hand had forgot ten its cunning and withered long ago. He denies the tracing paper, but claims to have done his forgeries by the bold artistic method of imitation. And what he seems, in a highly proper artistic spirit, to regret is that he has got into trouble for some of the worst specimens of his art. if he could have been imprisoned for a really good forgery he should not so much care; but to be lagged for such a clumsy work Of art as that which took in the Washington people is a slur on his talents. Mr. Sprague has fattened on his infamous gains. At last perhaps an uninterrupted course of success has made him careless • or long practice in pathetic appeals has made him ex aggerate his style, and betray his purpose. Some of his published petitions to "kind, good and honored benefactors" pile up the agony rather too high, and run somewhat in excess into a pleonasm of adjectives and adjurations. The interesting, beautiful and deserted youth, dying in a hospital or languishing in a peni tentiary, is rather too sad a spectacle of suffer ing. The lay-figure is ragged in excess; the blessings, prayers, entreaties and sobs are just a trifle too hysterical. Mr. Sprague at last overdid his tragedy ; and we should say that it' he had always written as be wrote to "dear Mr. Hooper" and " kind and honored Mr. Westlake," he would not have been so successful 'as he acknowledges himself to have been. That he has great versatility in the epistolary art is clear by the contrast be tween these creeping, unctuous, and nauseous appeals, and the plain, sensible language which he places in the mouth of the lictitious re feree, his imaginary Dr. Hawley. However, Mr. Sprague is trapped, thanks to the common sense and spirit of an English 'gentleman and the skill of an American detective. But the creature still retains his old loVe for his art. His line is now • - the penitent and injured victim—penitence for his successful robberies, and a sense of injury for the "unjust and cruel procedure". which he has endured in • the matter of his unsuccessful forgeries. And really he writes so very nicely still,•so art fully combines patriotism and pilfering, so en gagingly enlists the fame of Washington and the possible sympathy in America for his amazing sharpness, his delicate and refined im pudence, and his unparalleled powers of im posture—characteristics not so very undeserv ing of the admiration of those among whom Barnum is a success, and gold-rigging an insti- tution—that we are not sure after all that Mr. Sprague will riot receive in his adopted country the somewhat qualified approbation bestowed on the Unjust Steward, and that he will be coin'inended 101' his wisdom—even though that wisdom be worldly, sensual, devilish. Duelling now seems to be getting as fash ionable in Paris as it was in the days,of ,Louis .XIII., but the petits messieurs' of the present generation, unlike their ancestors, appear to take scrupulous care that their lives shall not be endangered, for the slightest scratch with the point of a duelling-sword is now consi dered a sufficient, atonement for the most atro cious insult. Until very recently the duelling mania was confined to the rival writers in a certain portion of the 'French press, who. appeared to delight in mutually insulting each other every evening,, varied oc casionally by some infamous piece of bullying on the part of the editor of the Pays. But the malady appears to be spreading rapidly. Hardly a, week now passes without some dis- graceful scene taking ,place either on the' Boulevards, or in some public establishment in the presence of a numerous audience; fol. lowed, of course, by an encounter at Le Vesi net or St. German-en-Laye, and a condemna tion to a fine of one hundred blues_which seems to be the uniform price for a box on the ears-,---by the Versailles tribunal. • The armorlolated knights of the olden time considered it the height of chivalry to die for a fair lady, but doubtless they would not feel at all gratified at learning - that - eettain of their de icendants,• belonging to the best families in France—who glory in the de which they ,write I I ' THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN - P III T , A A • FRIDAY, ilr'"f l4 frli 2' 4 . 7f469.-TRIPLF, SHEET.

Who would believe that copper can have health-sustaining properties? • We are gene rally taught that the' metal in any form Is poisonous. Yet a Frenekdoctor has found from statistics of the last two cholera epidemics that all kinds of workers in copper enjoy a remarkable • immunity from choleraic disorder.. While the rate of mortality among ironsmiths and other metal artists was about 1 in 150, that among coppersmiths and copper handlers generally was only 3 in 10,000. Sorting out the various classes of work, it was evidenced that the more liable the men - are to take cupreous ilust into their system, the less the chances of their taking the disease. There is a workmen's society in Paris, comprising about 300 members,.all turners, mounters, and chasers of bronze articles, and 'during the. cholera plagues of 183, 1 840, 1854, 180, and 1560, there was but one fatal case among them, and that was a man who had left the trade two years before.

In other in stances the foliage Is fastened together on long strings for the purpose of facilitating the festooning of churches, temples, dwelling isothies or public halls, and in. this shape the ;decorations are sold. at amiiddrate price per yard. For many years this traffic was limited to the industrious colored residents of South Camden ;and although this class of operatives are still; in the. business, -theca 'are lunidreds, `perhaps thousands,of the Circassian population engaged in the same pursuits, in the effort to turn tin honest penny, - while contributing to the convenience of all who desire to decorate their surroundings with evergreens. .

Then there were crosses of thestsvhite doss-ere, the top being wreathed vith green. These crosses made of life-ever lasting seemed to be so very appropriate that they speedily fofind iireltasers,and therein no doubt that the' inakersi were entirely gratified about their success in realizing Christmas .111011ey. lift-ererlastiny em4lems of Faith may Le ilmsitiered in all coining time as a Christ- There Were many other devices, made of acorns, pieces of bark, twig's, and larger branches of trees, fashioned into 'different shapes,- such 'as • askets, boat. and trays. These rustic -specimens of ornamental work were constructed with more than ordinary ingenuity, as they were dtigned •as Christmas presents. Besides the pretty shade of sap-pine green, there were those of cedar and laurel: The latter, however, is said to be of a poisonous nature;_ still, it makes .an ad tatrable shade when inii-ted With pine or cedar. At all events, the display of green in the winter solstice, when rude Dorcas blows his bitter blasts; when crystal lee enamels the face of the earth, or " beautiful snow " blocks up our. highways or- tills our sidewalks with liquid mud; when all Natureseeins dead in the cold embrace of the Kingof Frost—the emble matical decorations. of the Christmas time bring at once to wind " That soft season, rwhea descending showers ('all forth the greens and wake the rising dowers."

The thoroughfares where the crowds most do eongregate, are to be patrolled by a large force of polieemen to preserve order. Christmas will be observed in the usual manner. Everybody will have holiday, tur keys and oysters will be extensively indulged in, and the juveniles will have a good time generally with their toys and sugar-plums. There will be services in the Catholic,tlpiseo rpal and Lutheran churches in the morning. ho newsboys will have a dinner at the News boys' Home. The soldiers and sailors' or phans will be well provided for at their " Homes" and the, Bedford street poor will have a dinner at the Bedford Street Mission. The Post-office will be closed after It, o'clock In the morning,. • ' At St. Augustine 's Catholic Church, to-mor row morning, an opportunity, will he given to the public to hear some new and very delicious music sung in superb style. 'Prof. Henry G., Thunder, the organist, has prepared a Mass by Nieolo-Chorou (a French' composer Who flour ished in the early days of thetionsulatip. It is a very artistic and spirited composition, for Mezzo-soprano, Baritones and Basses';'•with solos and choruses. The Sanctus has a respOn sive echo chorus with the leading theme for Basses in unison. Mr. Thunder has made use of effectin his arrangement of the Christmas Anthem for two choirs, with separ ate themesinterwoyen with the melody. "'The choirs will number about thirty persons, all of• whom are trained singers with tirst-rate voices. The mere announcement *leach music under Prof. Thunder's direction will attract a largo number of persons of course. The' excellence of his effort§ upon theta•special occasions is already well known,_ and we are sure that to morrow there will be a cause for even greater satisfaction than usual. COLLISION ON THB ELAWARE.- As the steamboat State Rights, belonging to the Cats; dem and Amboy Railroad Company, was on the way from Camden to this city last even ing, about six o'clock, and was approaching - Walnut street wharf, she was run into by a -schooner. The bowsprit of the latter stove in and badly damaged one of the cabins at the rear end of the boat. The passengers had all left this cabin a few seconds botore the col lision occurred, or there would probably have been a loss of life. As it was no person was hurt. Many'of the lady passengers were much frightened.
