To the Editor of The Evening In The Star of March => c says that if the samples of Shakespeare's handwriting exhibited in his five auto- write, then, by the same evidence, prove that Horace Greeley, Rufus Choate and lots of other great men could not write. In 1853 I sat up nearly all night helping to.copy a two hours’ eulosy on Daniel Webster by Rufus Chovatep delivered at Dartmouth College. I had taken full short- hand notes of the speech, and was to write it out for the New York ‘Tribune. Henry Boston # law clerk who was only man who could read manuscript. After the delivery of the speech Mr. Raymond got the manus and he and I copled it as read by the ex- pert. But he frequently sot stuck and was helped out by my shorthand notes Horace Greeley, like. William Shakes- peare, had a son and two daughters. The sons died early, but the daugnters prew u Judith Shakespeare, at the age of twent, six, witnessed two papers by making her mark. Susanna Shakespeare, widow of Dr. John Hail, betrayed her iliiteracy at the age of fifty-seven, by disputing the un- mistakable handwriting of her late hus- band. Suppose that 200 years hence the only handwriting extant of lLiosrace Greeiey | should be five autographs attached to legal papers in the last three years of his life, tollows: 1. Hor.

Horace Grely, written worse th of his now known autographs, pd with an illegible scrawl pretixed, which was In- tended to-be “by me,” as required in the final signature to a will. I once asked Col. Ingersoll how he ac- counted for the fact that no letter by Shakespeare had ever been found, and none addressed to him, except one asiing for a loan of £30, (which letter, by the way, Hal- well Phiilipps, kesp2are’s latest and best biographer, thinks was ne deliver- ed). The colonel, with a “hem,” said: “I account for it by the great fire in London, which destroyed ever so many records.” ‘The great fire was fifty years after Sh: dt be the later, attached j | Peare's death at Stratford, and forty years after Bacon's death in London.

HiS statue of Shakespeare, which has re- ceived the universal commendation of all! the critics, will be unveiled at Lincoln Park, in Chicago, next month, and he is at pr ent.at work upon a heroic equestrian statue of Gen. Grant for the Union League Club of Brooklyn. He was interesting and gentertaining this morning when approached upon his iivorite subject. What Art is. “Our national greatness in art,” he said, |“‘will not result from any amount of striv- ling or straining to be original. Art is not jinvention; it {s normal, helpful evolution. No trick of color In paint- ling or clevernes’ of handling iri sculpture ‘can make a man or a nation great in art. | Art is the sane language of the vultur | the assertion of the soul. | “The evolution of art and the artist works ording to the universal unchangeable Suppose, in physical nature, a tree should take into its head to grow down- ward and so cast its tortured roots into*the air, would its life be any more satisfac- tory? The simile is not unlike the artist who is forever attempting something new, | something eccentric. ‘The Jower of a man’s | genius must develop according to the law of his life principle. It expands or con- $s with the man’s soul. | diffusion of art ideas is necessarily but let us be content, for we a ing giant strides. In the art of | painting we are as good as an: day. In the art of wood engraving we easi- | ly lead the world, and the ‘ittle we have produced in sculpture holds tts own. } “It is absolute sincerity alone which shall | for usa great art,” he continued.

My studies are completed, and in making thém I believe I have obtained results never before. secured by an artist. For instance, by a new process we have cast from the living horse in sections, so that Grant will not be mounted upon a ca- daver, but upon a living charger, with ac- tion in every mb and life in every muscle. The casts, of course, are life size, but they serve as guides for the heroic and colossal enlargement. Grant, probably, will be cast in bronze, either in Chicopee, Mass., or New York; there’ 1s no advantage, except in the matter of expense, in having work of this kind done in Paris.” “You have added a new process to the art of today. Is our art in its spirit comparable to the anclent—to the Greek, for instance?” “As far as it went, and up to the lixht Which it had, Greek art was, to ny think- ing, perfect. We shall never be able to sur- pass the arcients on classic lines, but then each civilization bas its art and each art its civilization. Art is not dead, and we do rot seek the repetition only of the ancient ideas and classic models; we have to ex- | press the spirit of the nineteenth centur: the real dawn of humanity, in my opinion. “Humanity and character seek today ex- pression, and my study is to convey ‘in every line and lineament these ideas. If I thought my art merely consisted in push- ing clay into this form or that, a mere work of imitation, I would abandon it at once and take up some calling in which I could command, at least, self-respect, to say noth- ing of ambition, The truth, as it seems to me, is that the art of the nineteenth cen- tury is to express the civilization of the nineteenth century. The ideas, principle and social order, and even the philosoph: artist of today devolves the duty of ex pressing in form the ideas and the princi- ples which determine the character of th time, personal and national. We are to have, too, in the coming century broader and better ideas, and human.ty will assert itself and art will express its progress. Mr. Partridge possesses a handsome, thoughtful physiognomy, which lights up with enthusiasm when he discourses upon the art in which his genius has already made such impress, and while he has for the past few years followed his work in Europe, he will now remain permaaentty in America. — Mrs. M.

SOME NOTES OF INTEREST In view of the improbability of a brigade camp this simmer, Col. Clay, at the con- élusion of the second regiment drill on the 9th instant, suggested a regimental camp. The colonel does not approve of individual companies or even battalions going nto camp, as the outing usually develops into a picnic rather than a camp of instruction. Marshall Hall has been suggested as a suit- able location, it being convenient of access and ample as a drill ground. If the project is carried out the men will be assured of a sufficiency of military drill and at the same time they will derive all the amusement and personal pleasure ftom the camp as is proper. Committees have been appointed by each battalion to take steps in the matter and a report will be made at an early date. A Second Regiment Glee Club. Col. Clay has been occupied during the past two weeks in the formation of a sec- ond regiment glee club, and on Tuesday last an organization was effected and a consti- tution adopted. Any officer or man of the second regiment is eligible to membership. There will be two classes—active or sing- ing. members, and auxiliary members. The | latter, while they do not sing, are to enjoy | the same privileges as the active members. A meeting to elect officers will be held on Friday, March 30, at regimental headquar- | ters, when all members and others desiring to join are expected to, be present. The Morton Cadets Looking Up. Although the supposition for several months past has been that company B, sec- ond battalion (Morton Cadets), is on its last legs, so to speak, and would disband at any | moment, that seems to be entirely errone- |ous, and instead the command at present | appears to be in better condition than ever in command, bas weeded out all worthless material, the armory has been newly painted and hand- | somely decorated, a piano secured, and, as a climax, on Wednesday evening last a stag party was held. About a hundred young men were in at- tendance, and after a number of musical selections had been rendered refreshments were served. Lieut. Shilling spoke about the company as it was formerly, how it Was going to pieces, how it has improved, and that now it is better organized than ever before. The fact was mentioned that the members of the company now are all | Young gentlemen of the best character and | standing and that hereafter the utmost care lis to be exercised in admitting members. | The reconstructed company B, second bat- | talion, means to forge ahead and regain the _exceilent reputation it bore several years ago. Company C, second battalion, has taken an immense stride forward of late in the matter of rifle practice and Capt. Domer has made up his mind that the trophy for the company that has the greatest percent- present season, adorn the armory of the National Feneibies. At the present time this command is doing about nine-tenths of the work done in the gallery, and companies | A of the fifth and B of the sixth have got to’ work very hard to finish ahead of the champion infantry drill organization of the United States. The Cyclists’ Company. The second separate company (cyclists) held its usual mounted drill on Pennsylva- nia avenue in front of the Executive Man- sion on Thursday last. Capt. Story during the evehing congratulated his men for the good work accomplished with the carbine in the past year, the company ranking third in the brigade in the matter of rifle practice. First Sergt. Wiggin will be in charge of the company run, which starts from the armory at 6:30 o'clock this evening. All friends of the command are invited to company will parade to the rifle gallery for practice at 5” yards, the bugle corps furnishing music. Within the next two or three days a party, comprising Assistant Secretary of War Doe, should he return to the in time, General Ordway, Colonel Henry of the engineers and Major Harzies, make a journey down the Potomac search of a site for a rifle range enough for the use of the new rifles. will in large for the purpose, a new range is absolutely necessary. The Rifle Medals Have Arived. After a very discouraging delay the National Rifle Association interstate medals have at last arrived, and are now in the possession of Major Harries. ‘They will be distributed among the mea cn Saturday, March 24, at 4 p. m., in the rifle gall and immediately thereafter the team, uniformed and carrying rifies, is to be photographed. Two vacancies at present exist on the non-commissioned staff of the second resi- ment, that of sergeant major and com missa-y sergeant. Colonel Clay propose to fll these b; ‘omotion, and not go ou! side of his command for’men to serve in the*positions named. As yet, however, no- body has been found who is, willing to leave his company or battalion to acc. opt the higher rank, which, according to the colonel, shows an excellent spirit, Officers Commissioned. ‘The following officers have recently been commissioned: .Matthew Goddard, quarter- master, first regiment; William H. Moyer, adjutant, second regiment; A. L. Bagger, inspecto> rifie practice, third battalion: Dr. Clarence A.

Col. Cegil Clay, commanding the secon® regiment, D. C. N. G., has issued the fol- lowing regimental ozder in regard to dis- cipline in bis command: “Courts martial have recently been hel& in some of the battalions of the second regiment,because of violations of the armory regulations. This has been a matter of great regret to the regimental commander, because it shows a lack of discipline on the part of oificers as well as men. r “Ignorance of standing orders and regu lations, if it existed, would be no excuse for violation of them, but it cannot exist if men and rs perform their sworn duties. An oath is a sacred and binding obligation, not to be lightly treated. Every member of the District National Guard, when he entered the service, swore, among other things, that ne would “falth- fully observe and obey all laws and regula- tions for the government of the militia of the District of Columbia, and the orders of all officers elected or appointed over him.” No one has any right to swear to that of which he is ignorant, and it is the duty of every officer and man who takes this oath to acquaint himself with the laws and regu- lations he has sworn to obey. The armory regulations were issued by the commanding gen: and all amen ments were made by his authority, It the duty of every member of the organiza- tions of the guard quartered in zhis armory | to obey these regulations, and of every offie cer, commissioned or non-commresioaed, not only to obey them himself, but to see that those under him obey them. This being the case, a violation of these regulacioas is ag- sravated when the offende: is a commis- sioned or a non-commissioned officer. There must be discipline in this regiment without regard to the effect of maintaiaing it on the number ieft in the command. “There is no place here for men who do not propose to keep their oaths; who join the guard because they think they can have a pleasant private club at the public ex- pense, without any attention to military | aut: Men who have so joined should take the earliest opportunity of leaving the guard voluntarily, before being compelied to do so involuntarily by the force of authority, What the commanding officer wishes is te have the hearty co-operation of every of- ficer and man in the regiment in the en- deavor to attain a high standard of excel lence in every line of military duty. this year be a noted one in the history the second regiment.” onan EASTER ©1GGs, le tytn Some Novelties That May Be Seem in the Confectioners’ Stores, “Easter eges are selling particularly-well this year,” said the confectioner. “We have already sold a great many. You see that large piece in the center of the window? It represents a French market wagon full of esgs drawn by two giant chicks, while a | pair of bantams occupy the seat, The | cock holds the reins—see what @ fine canb | he has—and the old hen wears a peasant’s | cap end gown. We had just unpacked it, | and I was putting it in place, when a ledy, | who was passing by, stepped in and bought it. I was almost sorry to have it go so quickly, for it does look well in the window, All Connecticut avenue would have admired it, and now it must be sent home tonight;” and the confectioner glanced regretfully a8 the pretty trifle. There were plenty of other quaint and | pretty things in the case, however; among | them a dispatch carrier on a bicycle. The | carrier was a curious individual, although | his wheei was quite “up to date,” with large tires, His head was that of a bluebird, | with’ bright, beady eyes and lgng, sharp |beak. His black wings were tipped with } blue, but he had ordinary human doll hands, which steered the bicycle; but the feet, which turned the pedals, were real bird's claws: He wore the dress of a French mes- | senger and had a bag of dispatches on his back. Rabbits are here as usual at (his season, and are in all and in all attitudes, | some sitting calmly on their haunchea, evi- dently fearless, with little bells on riltveus’ at their throats, while others, with ears pricked up, stand on the alert, apparently just ready to spring off into some woodland | retreat. A farmer in the dive jeans such as are worn by the peasants th the land of the Seine walks beside a cunning lttle don- key who draws a wagon load of eggs, pro- tected from the sun and rain by a primitive awning of the sort familiar to the French, The back of the miniature cart lifts out, making a receptacle for bon bons. Groups of baby ducklings in nests of sfl- ver tinsel balance themselves on the uncer= |tain legs of feathered infancy, and little | downy chicks are half hidden in the nests of | golden tinsel. Other chicks appear to be the | first hatched of the broods to which they ) should belong and stand looking down ‘won- ] uly at the nest of many-colored candy of which they stand. Other chicks show only a little patch of yellow down pushing through the cracked bunch of seaweed a little chick and ugly green frog have met and are looking curiously at each other. The frog looks as if he would like to eat the chick if he were only big enough. Chooo- | late exgs are as popular as usual, and the | painted satin an@ china eggs are unusually pretty, some of the former hanging up on | ribbons, having a little, silk-rufied opening at the bac 4 k for goodies “We have a number of new devices for serving Easter ice: remarked the con- fectioner. “We will make Easter Hltes of white candy set in green candy leaves to | hold punch for lunches, A poplar desten will be, I am sure, nests of spun sugar, im which ice cream ecgs are nestled, while two or three I look proudly about | them. Anc novelty for the sea- json isa w , in which eo large basket of exgs has been’ upset. The basket is of candy, but the eggs are of ice nt hues.
