GarrIck and milo. CIairon.

From the Chicago lnter-0cean.l
When Garrick visited Paris in 1852,
and attended the Theatre Francais, he
prophesied that Mile. Clairon would soon
excel all her competitors, although at
that time Mile. Dumesnil was the reign
ing favorite When he was again in
Paris, in 1865, several persons Of the
first distinction of both sexes, English
and French, met by appointment at the
house of distinguished person. Mr.
and Mrs. Garrick and Mile. Clairon we're
of the company. The conversation
turned for some time upon bellies lettres,
in which the merits of various authors
were discussed with equal judgment and
candor. Many critical observations were
made on the action and eloquence of the
French and English theaters; and at the
request of the company La Clairon and
David Garrick consented to exhibit va
rious specimens of their theatrical tai
ents, which produced much entertain
ment. This friendly contest lasted for
a considerable time with great animation
on both sides. The company loudly de-
clared their appreciation of the two ex-
hibitions in the strongest terms. Ii was
remarked that the French gave the pre-
ference to Mr.. Garrick, and that the En-
elish .adjudged the victory to Mile. Clai-
ron; but as the greater number of the
former we're but little acquainted with
the English language, Mr.. Garrick was

Princess MeIiernIch and Her Fa-
ther.

Princess MeIternIch and Her Fa-
ther.
From the st. Louis Demoerat.l
Since her last escapade in the Monti-
bello affair the Princess Pauline Meter
mich is more than ever the topic of
conversation in French and Austrian
court circles, and innumerable anecdotes
of her former eccentricities crowd
the European papers, and give them a
genuine American flavor, for a wonder.
How she used to make her unfortunate
husbandtake her evenings, in disguise,
to the lowest quarters of Paris, to see
the elephant;" how she frequented con-
cert saloons, and thus became the
patroness of the brazen Therese, singer
Of very equivocal, or, rather, altogether
uneauivocal songs, whom she induced her
dearest friend Eugenie to have invited
to the Tuilleries and sing before the
Emperor; how she had involved her
husband in ever so many duels by her
strange freaks and fancies, etc., etc. In
discussing all of which gossip, people
remember that Pauline's father was also
a very eccentric person, and died In an
insane asylum. He also has thus become
the subject Of conversation again, and
anecdotes of his earlier life are about as
much sought after as the stories con-
eerning his pretty daughter. His
name was Count Moritz Won Sander,
Lord of Kotzetein, and dozen other
vast estates; Magnate Of Hungary, etc.,
etc and he was known in his younger
days as the boldest rider and the widest
scapegrace in Hungary, which is saying
a great deal, considering that in Hun
gary the very children grow up with the
horses, and morality is not recognized
except in the lowest ranks. One day he
was invited to dinner by the Archduke
Joseph, Palatine of Hungary. No peo-
pie pay so much reverence to gorgeous
ness of dress and appearance as the
Hungarians. Dressed in the most mag
nificent costume of Hungarian mag
mates, Count Sander mounted his Ara
bian charger, and rode into the Koenigs-
burg at Open. The servants of the
Archduke tried to hold his horse, in or
der to allow the Count to dismount.
Back" he thundered, and he rode into
the vestibule, and up the grand staircase
of the castle, all covered with magniG'
cent carpets, straight into the ante
chamber.
"Open the door" cried he to the
doorkeeper, who obeyed mechanically,
and Count Sander, on his horse, rode
straight into the brilliant assembly sur
rounding the Archduke Palatine, seeing
whom he pretended to have just awak-
ened from dream, and said: Pardon,
your Royal Highnessl In an unfortu-
nate moment of absent mindedness |
forgot to dismount from my horse. /
shall at once rectify the mistake Say
ing which he gracefully backed his horse
out of the room, and rode down stairs
with the utmost concern. He was never
invited again to the Archduke's dinner,
but he had won twelve baskets Of cham
pague, and there is little doubt that his
beautiful daughter would undertake a
similar risk for the same reward.

1NN.: WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST s, 1874

His affection for her was said to have
been purely platonic, and have never
met any one who was disposed to dis
pute this belief. But, nevertheless, it
was this intimacy which was the fpal
cause of the rupture between Dickens
and his wife. For many years prior to
1859 their mutual relations had been
anything but happy, although l do not
think that Mrs. Dickens had previously
had any we'll grounded cause for jeal-
ousy. A short time after the party re-
turned from Manchester Mrs. Dickens
went into fashionable jewelers. at the
West End, where she was in the habit Of
dealing, and was asked by one of the
firm, who knew her well, how she liked
her new bracelet She said that she did
not understand him, as she had not re-
ceived any such article The gentle
man then explained that it was one Mr..
Dickens had ordered for his wife, with
likeness and some hair in it. This, of
course, opened Mrs. Dickens eyes, and
a separation speedily followed Since
that Mrs. Dickens has lived very quietly
in pretty little house near the Regents
Park, where her children, whose respect
and affection she has always enjoyed,
have ever been frequent visitors"

Chas. Dickens and His Wife.

The London correspondent o. the
New York Arcadian says OF Dickens
domestic unhappiness:
"In the last American papers which
have come to hand | see that Wilkie Col
Inns drama of THE Frozen Deep" has
been performed in Boston. You are,
perhaps, aware that Collins has recently
been engaged in turning this play into
novel. 1.-THE Frozen Deep" awakens
many sad reflections in my mind as that
niece was indirectly the means of bring
ing about much of Dickens domestic
unhappiness. The whole story of his
separation from his wife has never yet
been properly told, and in all probability
never will be, as his widow is resolved
TO maintain the silence she has so long
kept. But It is generally known that
the family is dissatisfied with Forester's
book. Your readers may have heard OF
the grand amateur performances given
in 1859 at the Free Trade Hall, Man
chester, in aid Of the Douglass Jerrold
Fund. Dickens, Collins, Shirley Brooks,
Mark Lemon, and many other celebrated
writer's took parts. The ladies' eharac-
ters we're interpreted by professional ac-
t-esses. Among these was Miss Ellen
Terpan. She was then a fresh, pleasant
looking girl, not especially pretty, but
possessing a good figure and an ex
tremely agreeable manner. If ever the
German poets doctrine Of elective
afiinities was proved to be true, it was
when Dickens and Miss Ternan met.
1t was evident to nearly all that the
two we're mutually infatuated. Eick-
ems was constantly at her side, though
his manner was carefully guarded. Mrs.
Dickens was with the party, but did not
appear to notice the intimacy. Very
soon after these performances Miss Ter
nan. at Dickens wish, left the stage.

induced to relate certain fact which
happened under his own observation
few days previously, and afterward to
exhibit it by action. "a father" he
said, was fondling his child at an open
window, from whence they looked into
the street; by one unlucky effort the
baby sprang from his fathers arms, fell
upon thd ground, and died on the spot.
What followed" he continued, was
spoken in language everybody under
stood for it was that of nature itself.
He then Immediately threw himself into
the attitude in which the father ap.
peared at the time the child leaped from
his arms. The influence which the rep
resentation Of the fathers agony pro-
duced upon the company, as exhibited
by Garrick, was such that the greatest
astonishment was actually succeeded by
abundant tears. AS soon as the COM
.pany had recovered Mile. Clarion
sprang up from her seat, and, throwing
her arms around Garrick's neck, kissed
him on beth cheeks, apologizing to Mrs.
Garrick for her conduct by saying that
really she could not help the impulse,
and that it was her way of expressing
applause. "-E'rchGRge.
