NEW YORK, March 9.-When some
genius in the art of dramatic differen-
tiation a couple of generations hence
shall come to write the history of the
stage in this country, full and exact JUS
tice will perhaps be done to the marvel
GUS ability of Charles Fechter, who,
though his triumphs were won princi-
pally on the other side Of the water,
was nevertheless an American actor in
the sense that some of the best work Of
his career was done in this country, and
his bones rest In little village in

These two brilliant men were in high
spirits, and the jests and repartee flew
back and forth with bewildering rapid
ity. What picturesque figure Dickens

bound with gold braid, waistcoat Of
black, bordered with small gold cord
and Ocnamented with beautifully en-
'ossed flowers, and watch chain Of
,pusually liberal proportions. His scarf
N satin was decorated with flowers in
much the same manner as the vest. His
ruddy face, set off by curly hair, with
the stray lock hanging down upon his
brow, gave him a poetic appearance
which was never conveyed by his por-
traits. After the tablecloth had been re-
moved was invited to occupy the his

Lillian ADELAIDE LEE-NEuSoN.
This was what that magnetic actress,
Adelaide Nelson, almost invariably
wrote i'll the autograph albums of the
fiends who pursued her necessarily and
would have made life unbearable to one
with less amiability. The quotation is,
of course, from Romeo and Juliet, "
which i'll her opinion was the grandest
play ever written.
Adelaide had married shortly after
her great success at the Haymarket the
alter, London, Mr.. Lee, tho son of a
clergyman, and Jack Ryder, who had
trained the budding genius for the stage,
told me in the cafe of the Haymarket
one day some of the curious and quaint
remarks which his old pupil had made
about her home life. My brother Felix
friend, Ned Sothern, and the little cpl
sode occurred after one of the latter S
performances. Besides our little party
there were present ut the time the Prince
of Wales, who was then known general
ly as Mr. Bertie;" Sothern, Blackstone,
Ryder, Chevalier Wyckoff, Lord South
ampton, Lord Rosebery, the present
earl, and two or three others
The conversation had drifted to AIDE
laide Nelson, and Ryder said: why.
she calls her husband the pink of man
ly babyhood. He is so tender, she says,
that am afraid that he will melt in
my presence some day. His good heart
and Dolly Spanker ways make me think
that Dion Boucicault had a type of Lee
in his minds eye when he wrote Lon

Miss Nelson was a lovable creature,
and there never was an actress in Amer

popularity. Her supposed gypsy ante
