THE EVENING STAR. Dickens im the Lecture Reem. A corres at one of ens’ readings, as follows “1 went to the first of the two readings which he bas justgivenin Loucon. it was, of course, at St. James's Hall, the most fashionable of the large assembly rooms of the metropolis, holding abvutturee bousand people. Long before the coors were opened they were besieged by aa eager multitude of ladies and gentlemen. The price of admission ranges from twenty-five ernts to adoliar and a half. The larger and » better portion of the seats were ‘reserved,’ and | were filled with people, the ee of Whom was most)brilliantly d . it was amusing to hear the jokes and outeries ofthe people in the back pari of the room, among the unreseryed benches. They were all allusions to characters in Dickens's writings. This was before the arrival of the great man himself. If « @ person stood up in front, he was saluted by such fire in the rear as this: ‘Sitdown, Peck- eniff, ‘Take off your hat, Uriah Heep, be a little more "umble” ‘Hello, Squeers, how's the brimstone and treacle!’ Otcourse, at tnese tremendous hits there was great laughter. “Almost at the moment announced Mr. Dick- ensadvanced upon the platform. He was in , elaborate evening dress, wore gloves, and hada rose upon bis leftbreast. Though hes‘eps with an elastic tread, and all his bearing is vigorous, be is «bowing signs of years in his face, aniin the increasing baldness of his head. As the | audience in the reserved seats were not all in their places, he stoed behind the little tabie in silence for nearly five minutes, eagerly looking about the hall,every now and then bis face higbtipg up with a playing smileas be recognis- ed bis personal friends before him. This ieng standing in silence would have been embar- Tassing to some men, but he made good use of it to survey his audience and be surveyed by them. He twirled in bis hand a beautifally bound copy of Dr. Marigold, but did not open it “At last, when the house was still, he began, Witbout preface er explanation, reciting the wheie of br. Marigold which he bad written; that is, the firstand last chapters. In the play of feature, the telling glances of his eye, in gestures and in attitudes, as well asin the won- derful flexibility of his voice and the almost ventriloquial variety of his tones, it was an amazing and consummate specimen of acting. His voice had out one deficiency, and that was power to vade so large aroom. From first to last he the fullest control over his audi- ence, and broughttears to their eyes and laugh- ter trom their lips at his will. His sustammed vivacity, bis ease and force, the fan of his look and manner, the delicacy of his pathos, and the intensity of passionate joy. ieularly when Dr. Marigold finds that the id of his dumb ward hasa voice, united to make ir. Dickens's recitation perhaps the most periect and masterly display of histrionic genius which London has witnessed for many years. This, at least, isthe decided verdiet of the old playgoers and theatrical critics; such as Edward Yates, who 1s ‘The Flaneur’ of the Morning Star. 1t took Mr Dickens an hour and ten minutes togive Dr. Marigold. After a few moments’ retirement, he came on again, and read ‘Mr. Bob Sawyer’s Party, and then sent us away bome in high glee and admiration.” AN IRRESPONGIBLE PRISONER.—During the war, Z was eaptured first by Captain Rom, and then, as he lay alongside of the road in a state of biisstal unconsciousness’ he was Picked up by Captain Yank. Now Z—— was over forty-five years of age, dsdn’t belong to the army, and was mad asa hornet at being disturbed in his slumber, and refused decided- ly to get into one of the wagons. “Pitch bim in, boys,” sa:id the officer, and through the air he went (ene bundred and ninety pounds). and liton his back ona pile of corn. There he lay, abusing every onearonnd him, until the wagon that he wasin stalled in a ud-hole, and had to be unloaded. «<Jet down from there, reb,” shouted a ser- geant to old Z——. . “I didn’t put myself up here, and I won't do pothing te criminate myself.” “Throw him out, boys!” and out he went, and lke to baye burst as he hit the ground. Afver unloading and getting out of the bole, the sergeant ordered Z—— to get in again. “I'M be darned if Ido; 1 didn’t put myself oi i ain’t got nothing todo with my- self” “Threw him in, boys!” and four men took hold ot Z-—, and, after two or three prepara. tory swings, away he went through the air, and lit like a hornet om the corn. Another treak down, and Z— was ordered to crawl down again. “I won't do ir,” he roared. «I’m your pris- oner,dad durn you, and ain't going to take control of myself. * “Throw Bim out, boys,” and out he was Pitched. “Get up,” said the sergeant, after the wagon Was repaired “Go to the devil,” replied Z—- “put your prisoner in yourself, 1 ain't sponsible.” ~ “Get up, there,” shouted the sergeant to the Griver—and off they drove, leaving Z—_ alone in his glory. That was the hardest nut, the sergeant says, he eyer met. Old Z—, on finding himself nis own man again, hosted his flag and trottea home, swearing he knew the articles of war better than all thesergeantsin the United States are my. ees A Horrer PLace STILL —Our evenings are cool, and when the day’s march has no: been too fatiguing, the soldiers gather around a cedar-wood camp-fire, and, in their way, in- Gulge incamp gossip. I listened toa discus- sion last evening on the comparative merits, or rather demerits, of the various Military Posts at which they bad seen service. “Which was the coldest post?” A candidate from Rouse’s Point presented its claims, who was distanced by another from Detroit, who was, in fact, ignominiously routed by a cavalryman who had wintered at PeWaich ts th “ ich is the hottest post!” was logicall and meteorologically the next question.” ad Tampa Bsy, Key West, and Point Isabel, were all warmly advocated: but the discussion ‘was thorougbly—indeed might say her- metically—cloeed by a three chevroned vete- rap. who with a Homeric wave of the hand im posed silence. “All were attentive to the warlike man. ‘When rising from his couch he thas began: “Boys, did any of you ever near of Fort Yuma?” Not one of them. «Weil, Fort Yuma is clear over beyond Ari- zona near the Gulf of California, where noth- ’bg grows, nor flies, norruns. It’s the hottest post, not a in the United States, butin crea- ton, and I'll prove it toyou. You see 1 was ordered there six years ago.and hadn't been there two weeks, m the month of August, when two corporals died They had been there ever since the it Was a post—in old Hoffman's time. Well, they both died, and where do you think they went!” Io one could pessibly imagine. - swag, i'l tell you, they both went straight ob Profoand astonishment in the auditory. “Yes, but they hadn’t been gone forty-eight hours—bardly tume +nongh 'o have thrir des- criptive list €xamined, and be put on fatigue duty down belew—when, one night, the bos- pital steward was waked up in a hurry, and there he saw the two corporals.”” “*WBat do you want,’ said he—you know them hospital stewards «re Slways surprised at a soldier's ever wan'ing anything. «What do you want!” says he. ««+We want our blankets,’ Says they. “After that you needn't talk to me about any post being bot as Yuma!” The auditory separated in silence. ei ne SPST) S7-M.
