d William Beach Lawrence, whenever he was in Washington, was invited. In February of his first winter in the house, Charles Dickens, whom he had first known in 1842, dined with him in company with Stanton, when one of the topics was the experience of Sumner and Stanton on the night of Mr. Lincoln's assassination.

The Marquis de Cliambrun dined often with him, and few foreigners of dthe President. Whom shall he seize? What innocent foreigner, what trustful traveller, what honored guest? It may be Mr. Dickens or Mr. Trollope or Rev. Newman Hall; or it may be some merchant here on business, guiltless of any wrong and under the

The Tribune, as we have t kept at the election frauds, and made a complete exposure of the guilty persons. Let us glance hastily over the rest of the volume. It was the year of Charles Dickens' visit to the United States. The Tribune ridiculed the extravagant and unsuitable honors paid to the amiable novelist, but spoke strongly in favor of international copyright, which Mr. Dickens made it his mission to advocate. When the American Notes for General Circulation appeared, the Tribune was one of the few papers that gave it a favorable notice. We have read the book, said the Tribune, very carefully, and we are forced to say, in the face of all this stormy denunciation, tha

er witnessed the second performance at the Devonshire House, of Bulwer's play, Not so bad as we seem, for the benefit of the Literary Guild, the characters by Charles Dickens, Douglas Jerrold, and other literary notabilities. Not that he hoped much for the success of the project; but it was, at least, an attempt to mend the fortunse, the performance being indebted, he thought, for its main interest to the personal character of the actors, who played respectably for amateurs, but not well. Dickens was not at home in the leading part, as stateliness sits ill upon him; but he shone in the scene where, as a bookseller in disguise, he tempts the virtue of a poog seemed perfect, and the play was heartily enjoyed throughout. Mr. Greeley thought, that the raw material of a capital comedian was put to a better use when Charles Dickens took to authorship. It was half-past 12 when the curtain fell, and the audience repaired to a supper room, where the munificence of the Duke of Devonshire ha

Another of their early visitors was Charles Dickens. Not only did he invite them to dine, but he took them to allld show him things that no one else could. The following note, in Dickens's unmistakable handwriting, shows how these expeditions were manage were, of course, forced to decline. We had a pleasant dinner at Dickens's, on Saturday--a very handsome entertainment, consisting of all manner of good things. Dickens led me in to dinner — waxed quite genial over his wine, and was more natural than I ever saw him-after dinner en too busy to write.

Extravagant things were sometimes said, no doubt, and the equilibrium of ordinary persuasion was not infrequently disturbed for a time. But the satisfaction of those present when a sound basis of thought was vindicated and established is indeed pleasant in remembrance.... To Dickens's second reading, which I enjoyed very much. The wreck in David Copperfield was finely given. His appearance is against success; the face is rather commonplace, seen at a distance, and very red if seen through a glass: the voice worn and blas&. ...
