Tho time is com- ing when the Great American Guzzler will abso- lutely refuse to waste any of his shining taldnts on 60 vulgar a beverage as champagoe, but will jmmotate himee)f only at the nobler altar of Gambrinus.

In a MSS. of Shokspeare in tho Bodlelan Library, some ycars 850, Was dlscovered a re- markable interlineation fn the passage where Ifamlet has his rencounter with tho paternal ghost. It was found that ot that particular polnt where the feclings of the unfortunate Prince were supposed to be worked up to a high pitch of excitement ond griof, he addressed the spiritunl visitant a8 foltows: Iumiet—0h, go and take beer! It was not upon this expression that the young Rosclus founded bis theory of Hamlet's {usanity, though ho might have done go, con« siderinz its entire {ncongruity with the text. Fortunately, on o strict bivestigation, the Yibrarinn discovered that the Jine was a forgery, having been nkflltu\l{‘ fnserted by a wit-lovii; ergraduato of noble birth who had abtain access to the monuscript.

By reduung gallons to pints it 1s found that the cost of vne-half pint of beer is one aud one-half cents, Onc hulf-pint s a Iarger quantity than §s sold In a beer-glass by at least oue-fourih; hence, the npproximate cost of u gluss of Leer fa one cent and one-clghth, But belore reaching the thirsty throat of the couswtmer the beer lus to puss.through several hunds, There {8 the malt-bousc which furnishes malt; there Is tho brew-house which imixes the several compouent parts into one pleasant compound; there is the teamster who dellvers the goods to customers {n the city, or there is the rullroad, if they are dellvored ula distance; there is the saloon-keeper who retalls from the cask, and who is realiy the great stumbling block In any attenpt at reform In this matter.

Thero wes po galn drivo, but the fulr cxcursion- fsts who drove lome, by the “Four," went fuside aud not outslde, displacivg the Jiverled footmen or coachmen who are usually stowed away inslde on fair days, when the fashion 18 for the Invited guests to see and e acen fu all the glory they can muster on the top seats of the coach,” But these gay children of Fortune arc not to be cheated out of their lensures ond plans so casily, They go inslle or .the rain, but they only wait for tho sun- shine, Bo, ou this oceasloi, they gothered up their flouuces and furbelows, and” betook them- selves to a Juxurious retreat, But one night, when the sky was clesr and the moon apparentl mnde to their order, out l{l’c all come fner than ever, and up and down they go ot a mattling puce, leralded by the bugle's notes, over the “beauti- ful ronds of suburbon Newport.

It is a popular thing for authors and actors to accnsy thelr crities of lrelng bought, and to threaten dire revenge, but it Ix seldom they are ablo to prove tholr worda, A number of ‘yoars ogo, & new play by Johu Brougham was hrought out at the Winter Gar- | don.

Next day le published a card {n the Herald, charging the eritic with per- sonal malice, with falachood, sud overytiing olsobad, winding up with u threat to sito the U'ribune for Hbel. That night the Tri'uns sent a short-lland reporter to the theatrs 10 tulw down verbathn every word Dyott spoke, und comparo it with the printed copy of whut he ought to have sald. The result was damning to Mr. Dyott, and, as ho got wind of what had been done, nothing more was lieard of tho libel suit, In fact, that effectuully used up Mr, Dyott, for he never played snother engagement in'this city. It is un uwkward thing to fight againat the newspapers, Mr, Harte and Mr. Robson would find it more to thelr advantage to heed thelr ad- monitions, and adopt o conclliatory rather than an_aggressive poliey, At the saine time It 1s undoubtedly true that our crities are fur from anyuble towards authors nmt actors, They wre not satistied with mild surgery s nothing short of severing thy wrotid Mw{f. will suit them.
