The attention of the reader is again directed to tho
readings Of Mr. Charles Dickens. This artist has been
heard with pleasure and benefit by largo audiences
In many cities since his advent at Chckering Han
last autumn He returns to NewYork TO make his
last appearance here, and will read at Chckenng
Hall Friday afternoon, January 90 January % and
February 3. The three programmes comprise scenes
from David Copperfeld the account of Bob sawyePs
Party, Doctor Marlgold,' the Bardwell vs. Pickwck
Trial. the story Of little Dombey and the sketch OF
Mr. Plckwck in the wheebarrow. Here IS abundant
variety of description, Character incident, pathos'
humor and STYLE
Mr. Dickens reads his renowned fathers works with
uncommon ability. His appreciation Of them IS
thorough and true His method of reading-wisely
based on that of his fatheris simple direct, huent
and flexible. lie does not attempt to impersonate
to the that his father did but he succeeds
in suggesting mpersonations, and thus in setting the
Dickens characters clearly before the eyes OF his ls-
teners. 1t is pleasure to see and to hear him, and
the experience IS fraught with many touching asso-

Tho Tall Sycamore Of the Wabash is not SO

self with great facility from one side to announcer
of an important public question. DIX years
ago Senator Voorhees, made an clapoiaVo
spcech in opening the Atlanta EXPOSITION
This was the first national recognition oil tho

result had been marked growth OF protection
sentiment there, and this had It's eHecu upon

Senator'S speech was attuned to this idea
"The great fact of protection" he SAID
"whetber as an incident to the raising OF rev.

review. showing that the fostering OF manu-

But the President has now sounded his free

THE higgins F4REWELL EXERCISES.

THE HIGGINS FAREWELL EXERCISES.
The tent of Eugene Higgins at last has been
formally folded up and he has stolen away from
the Appointment Division of the Treasury De-
partment. But he hasn't stolen away as silently
as Mr. Longfellows Arab. No; there were COM
memorative exercises connected with MS depart
ure in which silence-which is golden-gave way
to bursts Of viva voce sllvern eloquence' 10
affirm that the occasion one which will ever
remain bright green oasis oNerhung by double
rainbows in the memory Of all who were present
is to fail miserably to do the subject justice 1t
is generally conceded in Washington that the
Higgins parting hour was the biggest thing in the
mn ring hour line ever seen in the Appointment
Division.
The leading feature of the farewell was a ring
Not the Baltimore ring of which Eugene has long
been an ornament and pride, but gold ring
several carats fine. This ring was gwen TO the
retiring statesman by his fellows Of the DIVISION,
Mr. Rose making the presentation speech AS rule
this sort of literature is not calculated to interest
ANYBODY except the persons Immediately concerned
But Mr. Roses remarks-well, one would like to
see a man with soul dead as TO be capable OF

emotions. We have tried to do our duty by

that we have done it perfectly; we do not pretend
purpose was to do so. We feel assured that you
APPRECIATED our endeavors and that wherein we
have failed we are forgiven" This is simply
irresistible III its gushing humility Eugene of
course responded by wipng the tears from the eyes
% the clerks that had Clipped in and bought him
the ring, and assuring them that they were for
given to a man. 1t is such scenes that refresh
ones faith in humanity and beggar description In
mid-winter But the remark which we have
quoted, although touching was hardly the

1t is interesting to learn that Eugene is an ex-
ponent Of the highest Chrlstianity"-it is evil
dent that all the gentlemen that lead simple
Christian lives not to be found in this city.
II is also interesting to learn that the honored
recipient of the ring takes for his motto TO live

A MUSICAL MATINEE.

Tho third musical matinee at the Madison Square
Theatre yesterday afternoon served to Introduce q
new company Of singers to the patrons Of these
agreeable entertainments The Madison Square Con-
cert Company Is gone dissolved probably out of dis
couragement at not being able to discover reason
for existence In It's place is new quartet headed
by Msdame Giulia Vada with Mrs. Anna Bulkley
Hills as contralto. Wilbur Gunn tenor and Francis
Walker, basso. The rcpertory Of these singers, to
Judge by yesterdays entertainment Is scarcely fresh,
but they did their work with unmistakable enthusiasm
and gave great pleasure to an amiably disposed
audience Madame Vada. who has not been heard
here In public concert since she figured as prima
donna In the last disastrous season Of Italian opera,
sang the ballata from Tn ballo In Maschera," with
which she achieved her most notable success at tho
Academy. She sang with cOmmendabe spirit and
technical skill and her voice rang out brilliantly.
Madame Carreno contributed a great deal to tho
artistic value of the entertainment By her fine plano
forte playing
