Alexander Dumas Corning.

II It needed any further proof that the
gigantic war lately ended has increased
our importance in the eyes Of Europe,
some such substantiation would be found
In the swelling tide Of foreign authors and
politicians who are beginning to cultivate
Ms. We have already had the brilliant au.
thor OF the Athenaunp, and his published
volume Is far more Hattering to us than
any which has preceded 1t from an equal
source. We are soon TO have Charies
Dickens in series Of readings from his
owa works, and now we have confirmation
fiom France that the veteran Drmas, the
author Of so many plays and somances,
will leave for these shores on the 9th oil
November. He has been engaged TO de-
/ liver fifty lectures on his memoirs in our
principal cities for $4,000, and will COM
mence in New York, while Mr.. Dickens
begins in Boston.
Dumas is better known here for his
genius and eccentricities than any living
French author, and perhaps better than
any author in that country who has ever
lived. His Monte Christie" is as familiar
as any Of Dickens or Thackeray's tales,
though not circulated among the saIhe
grade Of readers. His other historical
rom lnces have had marvellous circula.
ton, and his personal character Is attached
to them in an unwonted degree. There Is
said TO be an admiIture Of negro blood in
his veins.
Whatever success may attend the adven'
ture of pere Dumas, land we do not doubt
that it will be great, despite his ignorance
Of the English language, his arrival, taken
in connection with tie visit Of Mr.. Dick
ems, serves to show thrt our country has
risen greatly in the consideration Of Eu
ropeans by the great struggle in which II
has been engaged, and To indicate that
hereafter an American reputation will be
sought by European artists and literateurs
They have finally caught On idea Of who
and what We are, and instead Of pooh.
pooling our self-valuation, find that II must
be taken at its face, and accordingly desire
TO win the returns in cash and credit which
may flow from commendation here. The
result will be better and fairer descrip.
tion Of the country and material, as well
as marely honorable advantages.-Phild'
