Autograph of Shakespeare.. 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

was 'at lint' confused and ainhignons, but
soon, 'with au air of , ft:mime-A exclaimed :
will tell you the real state of the case—l
was never near the mountain at But
here I have an elaborate description of the,
glaciers, with your signature?' ' 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 •

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

Curious.
Statiatics is a dull science at, first
~sight, but
it is wonderfully interesting when you get into
it; you ,are always unearthing curious facts.
Cutting the pages of a heavy book on the
military and anthropological statistics of the
United States rebellion army the other day,
lit upon the unexpected discovery that .sailors
_are, shorter sighted than the generality of man
kind. A few pages on, it was asserted, as the
resultof exact measurements, that after a cer
tain age men shrink instead of growing':. Those
curious things would never have been Credited
but for the proof afforded by statistical analy
ses.. 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. These are facts to be
kept in sight; they are curiosities now, and
the next novelty might-push them into obliv
ion ;
so let those concerned " make a note on."

isothies or public halls, and in. this shape the

to the industrious colored residents of South

are still; in the. business, -theca 'are lunidreds,

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

horn-blowing and masqueradieg„, which are
always nuisances; and often give rise to fight,
are to be suppressed as far as it lies in the
newer of the • Pence Department to do so,
Mayor Fox having given strict orders to that
effect. 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

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.

building WAX two and a halt stories in height,
and was part brick and part frame. It was

twelve large mash • tabs, and other appurte
nances of a distillery. The loss Will probably
be about *4,000, and, is :imuretl. The estab
lishment had 'not - been in bpdration for - Some
time, and there was no fire about the pie
rinses. Therefore,the destruction of the build
,itig is attributed to.inceedieriste.

SEASONABLE LIBBBALITV.—IieIIrYv DiSSIOII
