A Great Taliker.
TThe Converser.l

The greatest talker of ancient or mod
ern times was unquestionably Samuel
Taylor Coleridge.
"He spun daily" says De Quincy,
from the loom of his own magical brain,
gorgeous theories and luxurious images" "
The value of his discourses lay not SO
much in the positive knowledge they
communicated as the intellectual stimu-
lus they supplied, the spirit Of inquiry
they provoked, and the principles which
they revealed.
Much of Coleridge's eloquence was
owing, no doubt, to the charm of his
manner, and his voice had kind of sol
emn shake or guaver as he rolled along
But the mere brilliant eloquence tires at
last, and even that of the sage failed
sometimes of its witching effect upon the
hearers ears. Walter Scott describes a
dinner party at which he was equally
bored by most learned harangue OF
Coleridge's and concludes the account
with the impatient exclamation POUNDS
l was never SO bethumped with words"

For thirty years past, Mr.. Joseph
Walker, q we'll known cotton manufac-
turer has occupied Du Points cotton
mill on the east side of the Brandywine
at the end of the Rising Sun bridge, and
being deserous of changing his occupa-
ton has determined to go Kansas where
he will engage in farming. His many
friends on the Banks in order to show
their high appreciation, presented him
with testimonials Of their regard. The
Gentlemen gave him As a gift, hand
some gold headed cane, and the ladies a
quilt, composed of pieces furnished by
each one, with their names embroider-
ed thereon. These fitting memorials
will be link in the chain which will
still bind Mr.. Walker and his family
in memory to the many friends they
have left behind, great many ofwhom
commenced to work while children in
his factory and having grown up to
mature age, had settled dowE around
him. They leave on their western trip

Mrs. ChAufraU.

Wilmington taste in dramatic mat
ters sadly needs reforming. Minstrel
shows. Humptv Dumpty troupes and
similar performances draw crowded
houses, while genuine talent in the
higher ranks of theatrical performances
is allowed to play to empty benches.
This was the case last evening. Mrs.
Chanfrau made her second appearance
here in the powerful drama of Aurora
Floyd and scarce one hundred people
were present. Notwithstanding this
drawback the play was as faithfully
and excellently rendered as to a full
house Mrs. Chantrau is an actress of
great talent, powerful in emotion and
charming and natural in repose. Her
impersonation Of Aurora Floyd, the
heroine, is that of pure and noble
woman whose whole life is shadowed
and tortured by the memory of youth
ful marriage. She enlists instantly
the sympathies Of an audience and they
seem to share her joys and sorrows.
Mr.. 5. X. Chester as John Mellish was
excellent. His rendition of the blunt,
unsuspiclous Englishman who knows
nothing but that the heroine is his
wife and as such deserving of his hon
or and respect, was piece of hearty
genuine acting, seldom seen. Mr.. Al
len as Raleigh Talbot is failure. He
has neither the figure, or address ne
cessary, his voice is harsh, disgieeable,
and often indistinct, his whole manner
insipid and wholly at variance with
the character. Mrs. Chester as Miss
Powell, Miss Greybrooke as Lucy Floyd,
Mr.. Scott as James Conyers, Mr.. Nc
MAR as Capt. Brodder, Mr.. Cooper as
liairgraves, Mr.. Mitchell as Matthew
Hanson and Mr.. Henry as Archibald
Floyd We're all excellent and deserving
Of highest praise.

THR Herald was tame this morning,
having evidently heard enough about
the banquet, but sticks to it that the
REPUBLICAN does not tell the truth when
it says it has a larger circulation than
all the other Dalies in the city inclu.
ded. We can do no more than stick TO
the offer We made yesterday, to prove
what We assert, and until the Herald
accepts that offer it has no right to say
that We are not telling the truth.
We admit that we made very full al
lowance for the circulation Of the
Herahi, by placing it at three or four
hundred, but :evsn il we place it at
five hundred which it knows 1t has not
got, We would still be safe in our claim
for the REpuBLICAS, and it the Herald
does not accept our offer to prove the
