being a polished dramatist, he un-
doubtedly has an effective gift of
story telling which in his dramas
takes the shape Of sound and cohe.
rent construction. He possesses ideas,
has a lively imagination, his sense OF
humor is strong, but bis own humor
is coarse in the sense Of being too OBJ
vious; he has application, energy and
ambition, in fact, he is very nearly a
dramatist. What he lacks as yet is
an adequate literary vehicle for his
superabundanoe of gifts. The texture
of his work is rough and repellent; the
characters that he draws are coarse
and unfinished, and such distinction
and force as they have is attained by
methods that are rude and clumsy.
He makes them ~grotesque and unnat-
ural when he would effect his strong
est touches Of realism, and they con-
stantly offend against good taste and
destroy all illusion at perhaps the
very moment when they had begun to
really interest one.

Yesterday afternoon a weakened old
Piute was painfully saving wood in
the snow on b street. Cold as the
weather was, the nature of the work
forced the Indian to lay aside his
blanket and toll in his shirt-sleeyes.
As the old man labored and wheezed
a sturdy tramp with a ford face and
a very high forehead approached. lie
stood for some time idly watching the
Indian toiling, and growing cold in
contemplating the interesting sight.
the tramp picked up the blanket and
walked off with it, despite the ex.
postulatory cries and 'whines of the
Indian, who followed in great distress
close upon the heels of the tramn.
Deputy Constable Enders was al.
tracted by the noise, and when the
poor old Indian had, in his broken
English, explained the cause of his
woe, the tramp was taken into custody
and the blanket turned over TO rs re-.
lieved and thankful owner. who bob-
Dled back to his work.
This morning the tramp, who gave
hisname as James Bedford, was brought
before Justice Knox.

Praise for BARLEY CampbelI,

New York Suns Criticism on "Fairfax."l
Mr. Campbell fills the public eyes at
present as a fortunate American dra-
matist. He has plays running to pay-
ing houses in all directions; managers
besiege him on all sides for his litera-
ry product, it is the best commercial
article of the kind in the market and
it possesses that rarest and best Of
practical qualities-the capacity to
draw. Mr.. Campbell's fertility is
astonishing, and, although people are
good enough, here aud there, to look
upon the origin Of his plays for him
just as ifhe were another Mr.. Bouci-
cault, he nevertheless has a fund of
originality, if not Of inventive genius,
hat serves him excellently. The plots
of his dramas are strong and full Of
reality, and, he is as yet very far from
