Sk R, MANUFACTUXERS IN LINE. Employes of the Union Iron Works lis- tened attentively yesterday afternoon to arguments in favor of the panhandle ex- tension and bonding the city for new hoolhouses, an up-to-date sewer system and a habitable hospital. The working- men were greatly interested in the sub- Jject, and from the applause that greeted the s kers it may be inferred that a ma- jority of them are favorable to the pro- posed public improvements. The principal speaker was Mayor Phe- - lan. He said that the contemplated im- The Big Association Favors Issuing | provements appealed with the greatest | force to the working classes. “The ex- Bonds for Public Improvements.

It is proposed to build a miniature sca- wall from section B out as far as Leaven- worth street. This will give the fisher- men a space that will extend as fareback as Jefferson street. A committee appoint- ed by the fishermen went over the ground with Chief Engineer Holmes and all par- tles are now satisfied as to the necessary work to be done. In about a month's time the commission will be ready to be- gin work and early In the new year ‘he fishermen will move, bag and baggace, from their present quarters to North Beach. This will entall quite an exodus of Italian, Greek and Slavonian fisher- men from one side of Telegraph Hill to the other. The Forty-eighth Regiment came over sland yesterday on the steamers Sea Quecn and General McDow- ell and were placed on the transport Grant. Their baggage was conveyed on the steamer Caroline, but as there was over (00 tons of it the salling of the &teamer was considerably delayed in or- der to get it aboard. The men are fine, strapping fellows and took their removal from the detention camp direct to the transport as a matter of course. The col- ored boys-had no chance to form any ac- aun!mnm-es here, as they were only a few ays at the Presidio before srnnl‘lipox broke out among them and they had to £o Into quarantine. In consequence there were very few people down to see the transport away. The Forty-eighth is the last regiment that will go to the war. General Otis will have all the troops the Government in- tends sending to the Philippines as soon as the Grant arrives, but judgiug from the way the war is going therc will not be much for the Forty-eighth to do on its arrival.

AS YOU LIKE IT. Critical Comments. Professor Dowden, one of the most genial and appreciatiye of erities, aptly calls “As You Like Tt” the “sweetest and | happiest of Shakespeare's comedies,” and Dr. Furnf commentators, groups *it with Ado” and_“Twelfth, Night,”. which were written at ‘about the same time as “the three sunny. or - sweet-time comedies.” As I have said, I like to think-it, as Dow=- den does, ‘the first of the three, written when the author had just completed the regular series of English historical pla: and perhaps as a rest for his imagination —the recreation that is got by taking up an entirely different kind of literary work. History was for the time for- gotten and free scope was given to faney amid the scenes of a purely ideal life— an Arcadia where they “fleet the time carelessly as they did in the golden world.” The result is a pastoral drama in which we have almost unbroken sun- | shine, no more of shadew being intro- duced than sérves to give variety to the scene. It ds not the shadow that fore- bodes the coming of night or of tempest, but rather like that of a passing summer cloud, or like that of the green canopy of a pleasant wood, falling, flecked with sunlight sifted through the leaves, upon the velvet sward below, The story of the pla probabiliti We might perhaps go as far as a certain critic does in calling it ‘childish and absurd,” and yet, as he adds, “it has been for 30 years the groundwork of perhaps the most con- stantly delightful and popular comed the English language.” This is partly due to the subtle effect of the “charmed alr” of that Forest of Arden, in which we forget to be critical. with the poet Campbell, who, when he first detected some of the incongruities in the play, after having been blind to them for ny years, shut his eyes to the fauit 1, ancther of the best living | ".\luchirmuunw 8 love as the pivot and center is a tissue of im- | Dowden’s comparison of Jaques to Sterne seems to me a peculiarly happy one. Not to refer even briefly to the other characters, let us for a moment consider the guestion. What is the “fundamental 1dea’” of the play, as the Germans like t all it? Two crilics, one a man, the othe woman, agree we in stating It. Mr., eil. {n his introduction to-the play, says: 'When we read this drama we see that it | of activity and joy, the very core of life. {* * * When we ohserve that all the colls | In the play originate in the meglect of the royal law. of life,” ‘Thou shait love thy neighbor as thyself’—how selfishness com- rllcatfl and love explicates the plot—may t not be that “As You Like It’ is a div mondllr as well as a charming play | ¢‘Morality' -is here used in the old (Il’d- | matic sense of a play mearnt to enforce a moral truth or.lesson.) | .

We cannot help loving them and following their fortunes with the keenest interest and sympathy. Shakespeare's characters become so real to us that we keep up our Interest In them after the curtain has fallen upon thelr fortunes. We speculate as to their subsequent behavior and wi fare and dispute as to their probable fate We enjoy going ck to the beginning of the drama, as Mary Cowden-Clarke has done in her “Girlhood of Shakespeare’ Heroines,” and Lady. Martin in some her delightful studies of the characters she had personated on the stage. The uestions they suggest have a perennial ascination. Rosalind must be_reckoned one of the most charming. of Shakesp s women Perhaps she reminds us more of Beatrice than any other of them, and yet she | not wholly like her. She is as witty, lquant, as vivacious, but she has a lov finess ‘and a fascination all her own In her disguise, though she wears it natural- ly and ily—quit unlike Viola, for in- stance, who is never entirely at ease in it—she does not lose her feminine sweet- ness and delicacy. She has a_ singularly ht’nllhi; nature— | a mentally and morally no less than physi- cally. She is sound and sweet in heart, as she is fair of face. How admirably she uts to flight the melancholy Jaques with Fis Self-pottea sentimentality, his traveled affectation and conceit. How witty and how womanly her snubbing of the pert litle Phebe when the shepherdess laughs at the idea that she can ever suffer from “love’s keen arrows,” as Sylvius does Rosalind comes forward and addresses the pitiless coquette: And why, I pray you? mother, That you insult, exult, Over the wretched? * know yourself; down on your Who might be your and all at once, Knees, And thank heaven, giter 5 140 Cry the man mercy; love him; take his offer; Foul is most foul, being foul to be a scoffer. Never did silly girl get better school- ing than that—and from a girl, we may suppose, no older than herself, though im- measurably her superior in heart and nt | hea Orlando is her manly counterpart—like her a thoroughly healthy nature. I know no better word to describe him briefly. when the sky is very dark, he gives way to despondency: But, poor 0ld man, thou prun'st a rotten troe, That cannot o much as 3 blossom yleld In lieu of all thy pains and husbandry; but with the very next breath he takes | heart again: But come thy ways; we'll go along together. And ere we have thy youthful wages spent, We'll light upon some settled low content. He has tenfold more cause to be melan- choly than the affected Jaques, but when the latter, in the forest, asks, “Will ye sit down with me, and we two will ral against our mistress, the world and al our misery?” note his reply: “I will chide no breather in the world but myself, against whom I know most fauits.” No wonder that Jaques slinks away after a few brief attempts at sneering repartee. Jaques, by the way, i the great enigma of the play, and the critics differ widely in their estimate of him. I had something to say about him, but the limits assigned me compel its omission. 1 comménd Dow- den’s comments upon him to the student, | as, in my opinion, hitting the mark bet- ter than those of Hudson, Grant White, Dr. Moberly and some of the Germans. @909060$0@ 04 040806080404 @ $750 to 36 a ton on flour.

This is the pecu- liar quality of her wit. It is neither beds- terous nor personal. She does not “speak poniard: like Beatrice, but aeals In Pright generalities, “that give delight and hurt not.”” " When she wishes to wound it is not irony that she uses. Her gaye is the flower of youth d of a brave d high spirit—a part of her inheritance of noble birth which sustains her in adver- | sity. and Is never forgotten in her mas- querade. Shakespeare has disdained for her sake the obvious farcicalopportunitics | which the situation offers and mo of which he has worked out in “Twe'fth Night.” But the charm of Viola is of a dependent kind, to which a little ridicule 1s not fatal. It may be thought that she keeps Orlando too long In suspense, b must be remembered that till their second meeting there has been no word of jove between them; that she has to assure her- self of his feclings and her own and that the wooing Is a real woolng to —and, in short, the situation has charms of lis own whicn no witty woman could fore- go.—J.
