FOND OF THE MELODRAMATIC.
Dtcke ns' Works Beautifully Sprinkled
 with Situations Suitable for Stage.

Dicke ns' Works Beautifully Sprinkled
 with Situations Suitable for Stage.
 Itis curious what a penchant Dickens had for certain melodramatic situations, which seemed to his fancy so telling that he repeated and reproduced them many times over. He had lively dra matic turn, says a writer in the Gen tlemen's Magazine, and l always thought would have had extraordinary success as dramatist. I once asked him why he had not taken up this ''line" seriously, and think he made the excuse-it was long ago, many years before his death-that he had not tinie, taste or patience. The real req son, no doubt, was that he could not work without expanding, and could not ''carve heads upon cherry stone" A literary friend, who has his Boz at his fingers ends, has with great acute ness pointed out to me that Nicholas Nickleby was a genuine ''Adelphi walk ing gentleman;" his manner, heroic bursts, protection of his sister, beard ing of Ralph, etc., were all elements in the Adelphi melodranla. Ralph was a regular stage villain. That his works are all dramatic and conceived in the true spirit of the stage is plain from the vast list of adaptations. Each story has been adapted again and again, and will bear the process admirably.
 One method for winding up his plot, to which he was excessively partial. was the unmashing of the villain owing to the betrayal of some confederate. The parties are generally brought together in room by the more virtuous mem bers; the confederate then emerges from his concealment and tells a long story of villainy. We have this denoue- ment first in "Oliver Twist" where Monks makes his revelations. In "Nickleby' Ralph is confronted with the man Snawley and Squeers. In the "Old Curiosity Shop" Quilp is similarly exposed. In 'Barnaby Rudge," Hare dale forces his herditary enemy to make revelations. In ''Chuzzlewit,' 5 Jonas is confronted with another be- trayer. In 'Copperfeld, Uriah Heep is denounced and exposed by MT. Mi cawber. In Bleak House." Lady Ded- lock is similarly tracked. In nearly all the cases the guilty person goes off and commits suicide.

An Old Custom Revived.

At the first diplomatic dinner given by the new president of the French repub- lie M. Felix Faure created quite a sen sation by inaugurating a new custom, or rather by reviving an old one which had long fallen into disuse. All the ambassadors and ministers present, to- gether with their attaches, both civil and military, had been requested be- forehand, through the medium of the "Chef du Protocole, otherwise the mas ter of the ceremonies, to don their gala uniforms instead of the customary swallow-tail and white tie. According ly, everybody who was entitled to wear one was attired in a gold or silver braided coat-even French officials and as the ladies had seized the oppor- tunity to put on their gayest dresses and their most sparkling diamonds, the general effect was quite magnificent.
