THE DICKENS READING.

The entertainment given by Mr. Dick
ems, under the auspices OF the Benevolent
Home, at the Crawford Grand last night,
was an entertainment at once highly pleas
ing, entertaining and instructive. There
was good sized audience present, but not
such an audience as might have been ex-
pected from the excellence OF the enter
tainment. the renown OF the reader or the
fondness of the people of Wichita for the
works OF his iliustrious father.
Rev Hewitt, of the First Presbyterian
church, in few words, apt and fitting,
introduced Mr.. Dickens. He divided his
reading into two parts, first taking up the
beautiful little story of DR.. Marigold.
Whatever apparent harshness OF tone that
may at first be observed, disappears in a
very short time and the listeners atten-
ton is wrapt up in the story as it is so en-
tertainingly told. He seems to carry his au-
dience along with him; they are moved by
the pathos and smile at the humor The
trial of the noted breach OF promise suit,
Bardell vs. Pickwick, from ''Pickwick
Papers" formed the subject OF the second
half of the lecture Mr.. Dickens here
proved himself an excellent character de-
lineator. Samuel Weller, Mr.. Pickwick,
Sergeant Buzzfuzz and the other actors in
the trial seemed for the time to be passing
in review and Saying Their say" His
audience was a very appreciative one and
his reading was listened to not only with
the closest attention, but also elicted fire.
