CHARLES DICKENS AS A REApER-Now that
Mr.. Dickens is certainly coming to this country
to give public readings, it may be Of interest to
know, by anticipation, what to expect in the
way Of peculiarities Of style and conduct from
the great English humorist. Itis said that when
Mr. Dickens reads, he seems wholly forgetful Of
his audience.
"No applause moves him to leave an Ab.
stracted mood. He the Interpreter of dream
and the room full Of ladies and gentlemen has
no existence to him. A book lies before
him and he turns over the leaves, but be rarely
looks at the pages. Io knows them by heart
At FIRST it strikes you his voice Is artificial.
There is a theatrical tone In 1t which prepares
you for 4 disappointment but in the case Of
nine lectures out Of ten, this impression goes off,
and the laugh or the tear defy the strongest will.
Mr.. Dickens extremely dislikes, while reading,
the noise Of people entering or leaving, and
printed slips are usually placed at tho doors,
begging that silence may be maintained. What
ho may do In the United States Is not known
but in England he does not address a syllable to
the audience. On entering he goes straight to
his desk, and commences forthwith"
Those who intend to hear Mr.. Dickens in this
country, will govern themselves accordingly.

AN English periodical gives this descrip-
ton of Dore's studio: "E. Dore's studio
is situated in one of those quiet, clean,
aristocratic little streets that open out Of
the Champs Elysees, to the right, as you
go towards the Arc de rEtoile from the
Place dc la Concordc. The room has an
air of wealth about it-indeed, iii 80 lofty
and spacious that the epical pictures Of the
Sistine Chapel could almost find room TO
stand against its east wall The Young
painters studio happens just now to be
peculiarly worthy Of attention, as its
owner has this year collected together
several dozens of his most representative
pictures, in order that they should be seen
by any friends or admirers of his whom the
Exposition might allure TO Paris"
