An AnecdOte of Forrest,

The Dramatic NcaOs gives story about
Edwin Forrest in his earlier days:
On one occasion he joined travelling
company, under the management of
man named Kicker, who was very. fond of
playing SC Hamlet" because he was effec-
tive in the ghost. In this Forrest was
cast for the grave-digger to double that
of Marshal Stalk. "Never heard of
such part in Hamlet" said Forrest,
almost ashamed to show his ignorance
=" My dear fellow" said his confrere,
" don't let Kicker hear of your ignor-
ance. Why, Marshal Stalk always ac-
companies the ghost wherever he goes
Don't you know the lines of Marcellus
in the very first scene:
Thus twice before, and jump-at this dread hour,
With martial stalk hath he gone by your watch -
Forrest, quite taken aback at his own
ignorance, went Immediately and fshed
around for dress, and when the night
came Kicker was much surprised at see
ing a strangely accoutred figure, dressed
like the pictures of Marshal de SAKE of
France, following him wherever he went.
The cooked hat particularly surprised
the manager. When it came to the cue,
" See where he comes again" Mr.. Kicker
advanced on the stage and Forrest fol-
lowed him up, greatly to the astonish-
ment of the audience and the actors on
the stage. A litter ran through the au-
dience, Kicker got off wondering what
was the matter, when he turned and saw
Forrest following him up. "What the
devil are you doing, sir?" he asked in a
tone of subdued passion. Why, Pm
your Marshal Stalk tonight" said For
rest. Kicker burst into a rage and
called Forrest a few names that brought
about collision, and both ghost and
Marshal Stalk were soon rolling on the
floor together. Mr. Forrest never played
but the one part in that company.

MR. GUILFoRD ONsLow and Mr. East,
ex-sheriff of London, had, the other day,
an interview of twenty minutes duration
with the Tichborne claimant at the Con-
vict Prison, Portsea. At meeting in
the evening, Mr.. Onslow said he had
never seen the claimant look so well and
strong or in better spirits. Indeed, ac-
cording to his own account, he had never
been so well treated before in prison.
They had offered reward, and after
much time and labor had at length dis
covered the real Arthur Orion in the
Paramatta lunatic asylum. Though
known as Cresswell, he could be identi-
fed by twenty-five respectable witnesses.
Mr.. Onslow urged the meeting to assist
in bringing the lunatic to England.
The attorney general of Australia was
willing to surrender Cresswell under GER
tain conditions, and to these the friends
of Tichborne were willing to agree.
