There is cane enough in the fields to make

the crop somewhat. The sOwings for the

a suspicious CHARACTER.

About o'clock Saturday evening Mr.
Sam McKeague, Station House Keeper,
was driving home with his wife. When
halfway along Pensacola street he noticed
a suspicious looking character crossing the
road. He describes him as a white man
hat, and had a short pipe in his mouth.
Mr.. McKeague drove quickly home and
calling his Chinaman, they armed them
selves with stout sticks and went in search
of the man, but after long search were
unsuccessful in finding any trace OF him.

 Mrs. Gaskell, to say the least, though clever writer in her own walk, is not very safe biographer. Twice already she has been threatened with actions at law for Hbelous and defamatory statements. Now sometimes such things escape in the hurry of compost tion or through various mistakes, but really hers were malicious, though in the case of Mr. Carus Wilson, whom have always had pleasure in believing finished specimen of a certain religious party, she may have had some ground. Think of this man, when grimly featuring the little trembling child c. B. upon her hesitating in beautiful sincerity of heart to win his favor by saying that she loved the Psalms Swelling out, "Hows Not love King David's Psalms. Why, I have young son who prizes them beyond ginger blead nuts" And it appears that he was not without some excuse for making this pretense; since always on rejecting with dis dain the gingerbread that sought to reduce him from his allegiance to the Psalmist he knew by repeated experience that he should receive triple ration of the nuts! in Char lotte Brontes preternatural timidity, shy ness and shrinking from notice, surely there was morbid basis of self esteem, nourished almost to insanity by solitude. As to Emily Bronte, how unalniable docs her reserve, car red actually up to her dying moments, ap- pearl And in the story of the bulldog she is shown in repulsive character-brute against brute. Little did she or her sisters know the extent of the risk which they ran in the savage boxing contest with him, had he really possessed that demolliac obstinacy and pluck which many bulldogs have, but luckily for them-he had not. The brother Branwell, evidently with some traits of gen jus, is left too unexplained. And the papa seems to me a strange embodiment of sell fshness."

Dramatic Realism.
DEWHANGH HSOHIHSnHs From the Contemporary Review.


 The whole spirit of the drama has become realistic. The play in verse has been com pletely defeated by the play in prose; the play dealing with former times has cleared off before the play dealing with our own days; and on the rare occasion when the past is put upon the stage, no effort is spared to realize it in every detail-to turn it in fash ion into the present. Above all the art of acting has become merely the art of repro ducing reality. In the account left to us of actors and actresses of former days, from Betterton to Talma, what strikes us, and what evidently struck contemporary audien- ces, was the pathos and passion with which certain capital passages were delivered. The excellence of the actor depended upon his power of exciting the audience at a given moment; the stories of Lekain and Adrienne Lecouvreur, even of the actors mentioned in Lessing's 'Dramaturgie," clearly show this to have been the case; even if the structure of the plays elaborately worked up to certain dramatic points, and all the rest of the busi- ness left rather vague and conventional, did not force upon us the conclusion that com plete realization of situation, scene or person, absolute and uniform life-likeuess, is & very modern conception indeed. In the nlUOl0 OI Ll0 ldSG century IcSSluS, tut LlOSU realistic playwright and dramatic critic of his day, commended the actor who performed his Odoardo Gallotti for picking nervously at the feathers in his hat while listening to the recital of Emilia's shame. Nowadays there is not a third-rate provincial actor-nay, scarcely an amateur-who would not have recourse to devices like this one which a hundred years ago seemed little less than stroke of genius. Even upon the opera stage it has become unusual for one perform or to look on quietly without any sign of in terest while another is detailing his feelings in an air; and even in an Italian serious ope- ra-that is to say in the most idiotically un dramatic drama of our time-one can notice gestures (that for instance of seizing hold of a womans two hands and then hurling her aside) which would probably have created tremendous sensation if risked by Talma. The text is studied-even the most dorid passages like Queen Nab and some of Ham let's speeches-so as to extract from every word whatever indication of gesture or into nation it might possibly contain, whatever dramatic essence the author failed to put in, and the critics insist upon putting in for him. Everything has to be made real, and hence the difficulty which large amount of Shakespeare evidently presents to men like Salvini or Irving; they insist upon clearing up points which Shakespeare was evidently satisfied with overlooking; upon rendering lifelike what the great poet had grandly left lifeless. Realization, that is the aim and end of our drama, and it has certainly been attained in the most marvellous manner.
