Garrtclx and mummy.

Comforting the freedom of the play
mousse" on playwrights and men Of let
tiers was common in Garrick's day, and
without doubt the good natured man.
ager was often pestered for the same
favor by persons who had no such
claim. 1t was evidently Garrick's Gus
tom to give tickets of admission, per-
manent orders, to those whom he de-
sired to honor 1t is recorded that the
Irish writer, Murphy, annoyed at what
he thought Ill treatment or neglect, re-
turned the ticket with the words, GAS
l do not foresee any further occasion
for this obliging passport, 1 am not
willing to trespass too long upon your
civility."
Garrick's answer was such as to re-
feet the greatest possible credit upon
himself: "If you choose to relinquish
your right to the freedom of Drury
Lane playhouse, you certainly will do
as you please. But without the ticket,
l imagine, Mr.. Murphy will find the
doors open to him, as usual and be 1t
further known to you, sir, that as
thought you were above an undue In
fiuence l never meant the ticket as
the least tie upon the liberty of your
pen or conversation"
1t may be safely inferred that Gar
rick presented the same permanent
passport to his gruff but faithful
friend, DIR. johnson. 1t is hardly too
much to saw that tha great n1avar's
generosity was as notable as his act
ing, and his acting was probably such
as the world has never surpassed.
