Christmas Carol"

Wolverhampton, England, was the
first town in which Charles Dickens
gave his celebrated reading of the
christmas Carol" after the conclusion
of his first London season. He read it
In the Corn Exchange on the evening
Of Wednesday. Aug. II, 1858. before a
crowded and appreciative audience. He
was accompanied on that occasion by
Arthur Smith, brother of Albert Smith,
who managed all the business details
of his tour.
As Rev. Mr.. Parke was on friendly
terms with Arthur Smith, he and Dick
ems .were invited to stay at the deanery
during their visit to Wolverhampton,
and Richard Bradley (Cuthbert Bede)
was asked to meet them. 1t was, how
ever, Dickens custom on such occa-
sions to prefer to put up at a hotel,
where he might be as private as he de-
sired and from the opportunities of
guests who were anxious to hear his
brilliant conversation, but he cheerful
ly accepted Mr. Parke's hospitality and
visited him at the deanery, although he
did not sleep under his roof.
He made more than one story In
that inn (the Swan, and his expert
ences there with the mention Of the
waiter whom he saw returning from
the fshmongers across the way and
slapping over his thigh the sole intend
ed for the novelist's dinner formed the
subject for one of his graphic articles
in Household Words"
His journey by night from the same
inn to Birmingham supplied him with
the material for his famous paper,
Fire and Snow" In the same Journal
Mr.. Dickens was greatly pleased with
his Northampton hearers and after
ward told Cuthbert Bede, who sat by
Mr.. Parke's side in a front row, that
he had never read to so "quick" and
sympathetic an audience and that Of
ten in London he had scarcely been
able to continue his reading from the
"genteel" frigidity of his audience. In
the very commencement of the Christ
mas Carol" where mention is made of
Scrooges clerk occupying a dismal lit
tie CELIA sort of tank"-there was an
irrepressible shout Of laughter from an
occupant Of the back seats, who doubt
less had an everyday experience of a
similar tank. The laugh was taken up
by others, and the applause thencefor-
ward was continuous.
In talking with Cuthbert Bede at the
deanery over the events Of the evening
Dickens especially referred to that
burst of laughter at the mention of the
tank" and said that he instinctively
blamed the person. for his applause.
