interested in his description of his trav-
els, both in this country and in Eu-
rope, and especially where he visited
the insane asy1ums Of France in search
Of knowledge particularly adapted to
his role Of plays, and more especially
that OF King Lear" his MASTERPIECES
for this evening. In one Of them he
found an old man, aged about sixty
years, and when not aroused could
easily have pused him over with gen.

talking of the Napoleon dynasty he
became lion, and before Mr.. Forrest
had lifted him up By the hips and
thrown him about ten feet over his
head, and was in the act of crushing
him with his heel, when the keeper
entered and rescued him from all
harm. This little episode, Mr.. For.
rest says, paid him two-fold for his
trip across the Atlantic; for he there
had an occular demonstration of the
power of mild over strength. He is
fine scholar, and master of three
or four languages; has been hard
student in his profession, and consid-
ers Shakespeare one of the noblest
lights ever permitted to shine. He
has made his works life study, and
even in his advanced years he says he
never plays King Lear" without
finding new beauties he never saw be-
fore. He is very much pleased with
the kind reception he has met in our
city, and viii always remember his WIS.,
it with pride.
Politically, Mr. Forrest is Demo
crat of the Jackson stripe, he having
been great admirer and personal
friend Of that great champion of De-
mocracy, and only regrets that we
have not Jackson at the helm to
steer the old ship into safe harbor,

diamonds, but he does not " travel ON
them" One in particular-a single
stone-is worth FIVE thousand dollars
in gold, with numerous others Of lesser
value, all of which he prizes very
highly. Socially, Mr.. Forrest Is .
genial and pleasant gentleman, fond
Of company, when not otherwise en-
gagged, and can tell and appreciate .
joke with hearty good will. He Is
strictly temperate in all his habits,
and he bids fair to live number of
