Talks on Great WRITER.

One of the most delightful and in
teresting of the course of lectures or
talks given by Mrs. Igleheart at Row
land hall was that delivered Friday
evening. Not only were the subjects of
unusual interest. but the dramatic
readings with which the talk was illus
trated. were in themselves q rare treat.
The first half Of the evening was de-
voted TO the consideration of the dra-
matte poet Of France Rostand. The
work chosen as an example was Lag
lon, and in addition to the resume of
the historical part of the story, the
speaker gave some of the more noted
scenes from the play with fine effect.
In the study of Stephen Phillips, a
comparison Of the lines followed by
the two men was drawn, and of the
three dramas written by the English
man. Ulysses was selected as the latest
word from him. The trials of the hero
in his return 10 his home through
hades, the witchery OF the nymph.
Calypso: the fidelity of Penelope and
the ancient prowess Of the great heroes
of Olden times, were all brought be-
fore the audience in strikingly real
scenes. Two speeches, designed to
show the fire Of the poets genius. per-
haps more than anything else. Pene-
lope's in anxiety praying the return of
her husband. and the imprisoned
speech of Ulysses showing his love for
his home. his boy and his wife. were
probably the best Of all the readings.
The fact that both men stand for a
new thought in the modern dramatic
literature, that neither in their greatest
works deal with the social problems
Of the day, but that both have found
themes on a higher plane were men
toned as worthy of special note.
The next talk of the course viii be
on a group Of western writer's, includ-
ing Mark Twain. Bret Harte and prob
ably some of the later writers on the
coast.

A muri<y &t- mosphere above. slushy earth beneaths accompanied by the dim light q the ien- tern ahead, with the possaels chance, as we thought, of the ignition of the fuse, made the situation anything but . pleas and had to obey the peremptory order to TO forward. We were. however. re- lieved from further apprehension by the sudden going out of the light which ne- cessitated right about face and to ''the rear" which we accomplished with great activity, and with no loss on our eide save rubber shoe. We were glad to be in the light of day once more, It was then about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and we concluded we had better turn our steps homeward as we were near the end of our five miles walk, when in the distance and near the point of our destination we noticed that the armies on both sides were mounting the breastworks. and as there was no firing. but cheering instead. the officers concluded that a truce had been ordered on that part of the line. This proved to be true. as 1t soon became general. The soldiers on both sides were halloing and cheering each other. calling out Johnny Rob'' and Billy Yank' viz orously. When we reached the road by which we intended to reutrn, we found that the flag of truce had been allowed to insure the safe conduct of the Peace Commissioners into the Union lines. We were permitted to ride home in the car risge which conveyed these disnitaries thither, and we returned home thinking that although we had conferred no last ing benefit on mankind, we were at least happy and satisfied In the experiences of the day.
