Rensselaer Republican, Volume 13, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 October 1880 — Died as a King Should. [ARTICLE]

D ied as a King Should.

J. E. Murdock has written a book on the stage, in which occurs the fallowing “S’; Mac ready sms fond of telling the foil wing story as his experience of American independence, exemplified in a Western actor of the self-satisfied kind. “In the set of Hamlet," sskl he, “Iwas very anxious to have the King, who was ipther ot a democratic turn of mind, to fall when I stabbed him, over the steps of the throne and on the right hand side, with his feet to the left, In order that when I was to fall I should have the center of the stage to myself, as befitting the principal personage ot the tragedy. No objection was made to this request on the part of the actor, bat at night, to my great surprise, he wheeled direct round filar receiving the sword thurst, and deliberately fell in the middle of the scene, jnst on the spot where I was in the habit of dying. Well, as a dead man cannot move himself, and aa there was no time for others to do it, the King's body remained in possession of my place, and I was forced to find another situation, which I did, and finished the scene in the best way I could. . “When I expostulated with his Majesty for tbe liberty he had taken, he replied: ‘Mr. Mac ready, we western people know nothing about Kings except that they have an odd trick of doing as they please; therefore, I though as I was a king 1 had a right to do whatever I pleased; and so, sir, I fell back upon my kingly rights, from which, you perceive, sir, there is no appeal.' "I retired," said Mr. Macready, “to my dressing-room to have a hearty laugh over what I felt more like crying over a moment before.”

There is a clever story abont Mohammed All and the camels, and though it will be familiar to many of our readers, they will scarcely be sorry to be reminded of it A Persian died, leaving seventeen camels to be divided among his three sons in the following proportions: the eldest to have half, tbe second a third, and the youngest a ninth. Of course, camels can’t be divided into fractions, so in despair, tbe brothers submitted their difficulty to Mohammed Ali. “I’ll lend yon another camel to make eighteen, and now divided them yourselves,” The consequence was, each brother got from oneeighth to one-half of a camel more than he was entitled to, and Ali received his camel back again; the eldest brother getting nine camels, the second six, and the third two. ' Two boys at Michigan City, named Holden and Maze, aged about 14 years, both connected with a lunch room at the depot, were playing this evening, and Holden pointed a revolver at Maze and Jokingly said, “Look oat, it’s loaded.” and discharged the pistol, the ball entering the boy's brain just over the left eye. Maze lived about fifteen minutes. It is considered to be purely accidental. Both families live in the eity. Young men from alt* part* of tbe country ars going to H. B.
