Bulwer's appearance was decidedly

tingue." Tall, slim, with finely cut fea
lures, prominent among which was
long aquiline nose, with an abundant
crop of curly brown hair and full

large blue ribbon and star of the Order
of the Bath. There was a certain mai
vete, strange as the word may sound
when applied to so confirmed a man of
the world, in his vain and very appar
ent struggle against the irresistible en-
croachments of age. He did not give
in with that philosophical resignation
which might have been expected of one
so clever, and, in some respects, so
wise. He fought against it tooth and
nail. Lord Lytton's hair seemed dyed,
and his face looked as If art had been
called in to rejuvenate it. A quack in
Paris had pretended to cure his growing
deafness, a constant source of legiti-
mate grief to him. He was radiant one

Is no more. Some members of it con-
tinue to draw salaries on uneXpired con-
tracts, but the organization as a whole,
after twenty years of most meritorious
service In behalf Of genuine culture has
ceased to exist. The Dramatic News
thus explains why: "Mr. Palmer aban-
dons the stock system because he has

believes that the present requirements

impossible, to conduct a season Of gen.

An interesting piece of litigation has

legged to have said that Miss Marlowe's
company has ever been selected with
view to misleading the public" that
''her talents" referring to the star,
shine by contrast with a few only
fair, and a great number of very poor,
people," and that the bulk of these sup
porting actors has been playing My
Lord, the Carriage Waits parts in first
class companies for years" For these
and similar assertions, the irrreverent
Journal is, If possible, to be mulcted OF
its hard-earned cash, and the fair fame
of an indignant artistic, if the jury will
generously permit. receive its due dose
of vindication. Miss Marlowe, if she
succeeds, will be better off in financial
sense only. She will not be better
actress nor a more conSummate ar.
tiste in consequence of such a lega
verdict. Upon the other hand, should
she lose, her ridiculous example will be
held up to ridicule from ocean to ocean
