The editor, from his '.Easy Chair," utters
some sound doctrine with regard to the
"mounting" of plays, which we quote for the
benefit of our readers: '
The propriety of the modern manner of
"mounting" plays at the theatre with the
strictest regard to what is called historical
accuracy was the subject of an admirable
essay a year or two since by Mr. Richard
Grant "White, and the splendors of the "re
vivals" at some of the theatres, and especially
at Booth's, constantly suggest the question to
those who, sitting in that theatre, await the
rising of the curtain. "If Henry the Eighth
is to be played" asks Pistol of his companion,
"would you see his Majesty enter in Welling
ton boots and a cocked hat? and Queen
Katharine in such a dress as your couBin Kate
wears, conquering, every evening ? If it is
Macbeth or Hamlet, will you have them in
our hats and dress-coats? And if not, if you
will have their costume such as we know that
they wore, why not have the objects around
them such as we know that they were ? The
palace of Henry the Eighth, whose domestio
' life Gold win Smith says used to be felioitously
described by an old Oxford professor as
'clouded with infelicities,' was not furnished
with carpets and Paris upholstery. If, there
fore, yon will dress him as he was, do the
same justice to his house. Let us have per
sons and scenes as faithfully reproduced as
possible."
To this, w hich is the fair, usual statement
r,f tbe argument, the friend seems to answer
Uiat be would be obliged to Pistol if he would
describe the dress of Macbeth and of Hamlet;
ttd if he cannot accurately do so, will he say
Low important that kind of aocuracy probably
is if even he can not determine it? Does he
think that the other spectators will be
troubled by anachronisms and improprieties of
detail in representation if he is not? And, if
so, is not the reason this that Macbeth and
Hamlet are not figures of history, but of the
imagination, and that although the scene is
laid in Scotland, it is not the geographical
Sootland, the land o' bannocks and barley
meal, but a true fairy-land, like that Shake
spearean Bohemia which is washed by the sea?
They are denizens of the realm of ima
gination. Therefore we must discrimi
nate. Dramas that are strictly historical and
tocal must be treated differently. Henry
the Eighth, for instance, is a clearly out
lined figure in the fancy. His burly person,
his cap and feather, his doublet, are parts of
his impression upon the mind. The mention
of his name recalls them all. Therefore, if
the royal Blue-beard should be represented
in ' a summer Back of to-day and trowsers
which would have satisfied D'Artois, we should
all greet his Majesty with uproarious laugh
ter. And so with Queen ivatnarine and
Richard the Second and Richard the Third.
The association of these persons with another
time and costume is so universal and absolute
mat some degree or accuracy in tne accesso
ries is indispensable. But even this may
go so far as to destroy the real effect of the
play.
Thus Bulwer's play of Richelieu, which
must have been written for Mr. Crummies'
renowned tragedian, Folair, it is so full of
tedious "eas," was put upon the stage
at Booth's Theatre with the utmost study aud
care. Richelieu s chamber was a reprodao
tion, it is said, of an old room in Rouen, aud
it may well have been, for in every detail it
was admirable. When the curtain rose and
discovered 'Richelieu' sitting at his table
with his study lamp, the dim light obscurely
thrown upon the reoess in which was the
heavily draped bed, the fire burning in the
chimney, aud the massive ceiling these ad
mirably finished details, with the careful cos
tume and withered figure of the Cardinal,
made as perfect a picture as could
be seen. A series of such would be a unique
and delightful entertainment. It was old
France, and this was the famous French
minister. But when he spoke! What!
did his Eminence speak English in his solilo
quies?
Upon which Pistol, of course, explodes,
and remarks that such a question is foolish,
because, he says, something must be left to
the imagination. idis friend does not deny it.
But he says that if the appeal is to the imagi
Bation, that faculty ought to be helped, aud
not perplexed. Now the inevitable effect of
extreme aocuracy of detail in the
scene is to quicken the sense of aoou
racy and propriety. If there is a fire visibly
burning in the chimney, the fact of the sea
son of the year is forced upon the mind, per
haps ratber impertinently, and it expeots aud
demands that every thing shall conform. It
is cold weather, and the mind will look oat
for cold weather every where. So when the
architecture and equipment of the room are
unequivocally and characteristically Frenub,
and every personage and incident mentioned
are French, and tbe mind, like a Btage witb a
scene, is "set" with France, it is Buooked by
bearing a Frenchman Bohloquiziug in Eug
lihh. And the same involuntary loyio inevi
tably carries us farther.
We descend from Kicbelieu's chamber into
the street. We stand at the foot of a spacious
flight of steps which asoend to the royal
palace. The king and his courtiers appeu-,
and presently the Lord Cardinal. There is t-x-postulation,
recrimination, and finally "tus
curse of Rome" is threatened, and the faith
f al drop reverently to their kueea. What do
they kneel upon? It is tbe street of 1'arii.
But tbe pavement is transflgnred NicoUon.
It id smooth and clean as a lluor. It id no
street at all. Pistol again goes off, and de
mands common sense. To which his friend
can only reply that the theory of the repre
sentation absolutely requires completeness aad
symmetry. If the chamber of Cardinal Riohe
lien in his house in Paris faithfully repre
sented to the least characteristic detail, and
tbe observation has beoome so sensitive,
surely it is absurd to destroy the illusion by
emerging from the finished chamber upen a
pavement which is no pavement. If you
wish the imagination to transform the boards
of the Btage into a street, it can do it; but it
can just as easily transform a few hints of
scenery into the Cardinal's room; and, indeed,
if you leave it to do that, it will do the other
much more readily. Besides, if the imagina
tion is equally active in both soenes.the effect
of the whole will be proportional and satisfac
tory, as it cannot possibly be now.
And there is another obvious consequenoe
of the system of this exquisite accuracy in
detail. Tbe last scene in JiicJielieu is a spa
cious salon in the palace. It is admirably
done. It is truly French, and as the scene
opens you are in royal France itself. It is
the finest picture, as in the scene of the Car
dinal's chamber. Suddenly into this royal
salon enter a group of persons, estimable, the
spectator is fain to believe, to the last degree,
but not in the least royal or oourtly. Cer
tainly no sport shall be made here of honest
gentlemen honestly earning a living; but
the difficulty and danger are as with
the Cardinals familiarity with the Eng
lish language, and as with the board
pavements; or, indeed, they may be not
a street but the royal gardens, for
boards are aa much earth as stone, and the
obedient imagination will follow either hint.
The fact is that if the scenery exactly repre
sents a royal palace, the actors must exactly
represent royal personages, or the impres
sion sought will be lost. Indeed, the prin
ciple of this theory of mounting plays is not
tnat tney are representations so muott as re
productions. And the peril is as in the kin
dred art of painting. If a tin platter in a
picture is painted with such skill of imitation
that you wish to thump it, it is certainly a
defect, because the other parts cannot be
brought to the same perfection.
co while in historical plays there must be a
certain regard for propriety of detail, it must
not be excessive; it must not seek absolute
accuracy, or the harmony, which is essential
to reality of effect, will be lost. And this
modern method of perfect detail cannot
wisely be applied to purely imaginative plays,
6ucn as ,ear, Macoeti, ana uamln. They
are not ot Britain and .Scotland n;i I Den
mark, nor of any particular century
they are of the world of imagination.
One of the most laughable of comedies
was the performance of Verdi s opera of
Jlacbetto in Florence, when the persons of
tne drama appeared in tartans and bare legs.
The ludicrous effort at reality instantly de
stroyed tne uiusion. it would not be safe.
indeed, for an aetor to come upon the stage
as "Hamlet" in the costume of a New York
gentleman of to-day; and for the same reason,
but tne same reason only, that we do not
wish to see our friends masquerading in the
costume of other times that is, because we
do not wish our attention diverted from the
man to his clothes.
An English critio has recently published
some extracts irom tne correspondence or a
German gentleman in England a hundred
years ago, which are full of shrewdness and
ingenuity, and which give us most vivid
glimpses of the acting of Garrick. It seems
that even then, although, as we know, Gar
rick played "Hamlet in a laced coat and tie-
wig the ordinary Frenoh full dress of his
time it was a practice which was severely
critioized as an anaenromsm and solecism in
costume. But the German gentleman Mr.
Lichtenberg although he says that he often
heard Garrick's taste in the matter blamed, it
was never at the time, never during the
entr'acte, nor at supper, nor just after the
play, but when the spell was dissolved, and
the mind began to speculate. He says that,
of course, Garrick, who had an ample collec
tion of all kinds of costumes, must have had
good reasons for his choice, and, like a true
uerman pniiosopner, ne proceeds to prove
wnetner ne can enter into tne "interior con
sciousneBs of the actor so as to understand
the reason.
He finds it in the instinctive perception of
a great actor tnat for tne best eneot of the
play the spectator's seeing and feeling must
be identical; and, therefore, that "whenever
a familiar and customary costume can be
worn upon the stage without offending the
susceptible majesty of our erudition, it is the
best and the httest for tho actor s purpose,
Then he nays, with the aouteness of Teufels-
drocb, that to the sense of his time the French
coat has beoome a second skin. "It is a coat
with a physiognomy. There is significance
in its slightest wrinkles, and every crease and
feld of it have human expression." And then
follows a passage which is the very transcend
entalism of the clothes philosophy, and
which is also a delightful glimpse of Garrick.
"There is a soene of Hamlet, says Mr.
Lichtenberg, "which I described in a former
letter. In that scene Garriok speaks with hia
back to the audience. The effect of his utter-
anoe depends chiefly upon that of his atti
tude. You can't see his countenance; you
can only see his coat. Bat the coat is faun.
liar to us, and experience has enabled us to
'attach, instinctively, particular mean
ings to particular changes in the ap
pearance of it. At the moment I am speak,
ing of there was a diagonal crease across the
back of this coat from the shoulder to the hip,
which unmistakably indicated the effort mad
by its wearer to repress some strong emotion,
When I saw that crease in his coat I saw almost
as much of the inner workings of the man s
mind as the face of him could have shown me
had it been visible. Suppose now that Hamlet'
'inky coat bad been cut according to antiqua
rian meBcriotion. what should I have seen in
the crease of ill Nothing intelligible. An actor
: ..- j-- t . .
who has a good figure and every tragic actor
ought to have a good figure cannot but lose
eflect by acting in a costume wnicn striKingiy
differs from the dress in which our eye is
helped bv habit to distinguish, to a straw s
breadth, the too much aud too little. Let
me explain: I am not asking Julius Uesar
and the English Henrys and Richards to
appear upon the stage in the uniform of the
Life Guards. The general public has pioked
up, either at school or from coins and popu
lar prints, quite enough antiquarian know
ledge to understand and appreciate, when it
sees them on the stage, a great number of
costumes whioh it Bees nowhere else. All I
mean is that whensoever and wheresoever the
antiquary is still dormant in tbe braia of the
Eublic, the actor, if he rightly understands
is art, will be the last person to awaken him.
I think that Mr. Garriok has wisely
foregone the small personal satisfaction of a
few commonplace eulogiums on his antiqua
rian accuracy, jn order to achieve and hold
fust tbe conquest of a thousand hearts."
Whether Mr. Lichtenberg speaks for him
self or for Mr. Lytton, who introduces him,
the two gentlemen together contribute a great
deal of humor and shrewdness to the discus
sion of the question.

In the "Galaxy Club Room" we find the
following tribute to the memory of "Ben,'
tho Learned Pig:
THE LEARNED PIQ.
I have a turn for swine. I might say that
I have a taste for swine. I do not mean a
taste for pork, but a liking for the living pig.
io pnt it into plain English. I like the hog.
The hog to me is like the fool i' the forest,
meat and drink. I study him. I understand
him. I am amazed at his ways and am filled
witn admiration of bis sagacity, l was
brought up on hog. I had rare opportunities
to study bis character and appreciate his traits.
Witb due deliberation I assert that for
shrewdness of observation. knowledge
ot character, for thought and memory, voir
hog excels all the other beasts of the field and
forest.
He is selfish. Well, looked at from a cer
tain standpoint, hoggy is selfish. But deprive
a man of his hands and tongue: put in him a
stomach thnt will digest Bancroft's "History
of the United states, a stomach of great
capacity and inordinate demands in the way
of appetite; then build np fences, shut the
gates and turn loose your dogs, and what will
become of a man s generous impulses, etc. r
Thfy will go "where the woodbine twineth"
over the Erie stock. As it is, with all his
advantages, man oomes nearer to the hog in
this quality than any other animal. As
the pig puts at least one foot in the trough
while eating, bo a man will degrade his pos
sessions in proof of his ownership. This is
especially tne case with his wife, and would
be with his children, but that as they grow
older and stronger he grows older and weaker,
so the pig mastery predominates in the off
spring.
With these tastes and ideas I was walk
ing slowly along Pennsylvania avenue,
when I saw the sign of "Learned Pig"
done in huge letters upon the side of a
house. I read further along that the
admission fee was "twenty-five cents
servants, children, ministers of the gospel.
and Sunday-schools admitted half price." I
brought up a promise to pay issued by our
paternal Government to the amount of
twenty-five cents, as I did not oome under
either of the exceptions, and presented it to
the guardian of the entrance, who, glancing
at me, gave the fractional bit of currency an
insulting examination.
"All right, he said, motioning an invita
tion to enter, and adding apologetically, "No
offense, Cap, but counterfeits do gravitate to
ward seientiho swine most amazingly.
The choice language of the doorkeeper im
pressed me deeply. It was as surprising as
the educated hog. Learning had seized upon
the concern.
I entered a room that had once been de
voted to the sale of intoxicating drinks. It
yet retained its counter and its odor. One's
nostrils recognized the spirit of departed
cocktails and mint-juleps that pervaded the
atmosphere, mingling with tbe vile smell of
old cigars. The educated swine was not
visible; but certain eminent statesmen, dis
tinguished by their thirst for knowledge, were
of the audience. A consumptive young man
labored steadily at a hand organ that gave us
the air of "Shoo Fly," as if the air of "Shoo
Fly" was being jolted over a stumpy corduroy
road. In the pauses of this orchestra that
came kindly to our relief we heard certain
snores and grunts, indicating that the
learned beast of tusks and bristles was repos
ing from his laborious studies unknown to the
audience.
"When the room was sufficiently filled, the
consumptive orchestra abandoned his post,
and going to the door relieved the gentleman
who had expressed the sage opinion touching
the tendency counterfeit currency had to
gravitate to the learned swine. This taker-in
of dimes and curious people proceeded in a
business-like manner to the counter, and rap.
ping on the side ordered the educated pork,
under the name of "Ben," to come forth. A
grunt of recognition was the only response
A louder rap and a more imperative order
brought a series of grants, that to
those acquainted with hog language
meant a remonstrance; whereupon the lec
turer reached under and administered oertain
blows that brought out a squeal and the
learned shote. He was of the species known
at the West as "saw-back," and described in
the language of that region as "slab-sided,
long-snouted, and spindled-legged; of the
sort to break a man's heart, if that heart was
bent upon adding some adipose to the bone
and muscle, so as to bring out the pork in
merchantable quantities.
He had, however, aa intellectual expression
of face, and it was really comical to see the
poor animal snapping his jaws together with
that emphasis peculiar to an indignant porker,
and all the while eyeing fro; under his lop
ears tbe bolder of the rattan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, began the ex.
hibitor. "this animal is the most intellU
gent and the beBt edicated hog in the
world. There be some pigs on exhibit
that pretend to be edicated pigs, and I don't
deny that such creatures have claims; but edi-
cation, ladles and gentlemen, to be wonder
ful, uiiiHt have a sound basis an S. B. Now
what do 1 mean by S. B.? I mean mind I
mean brain. Without the S. B. what's a man,
let alone a hog? Why, he's an edicated ass. This
bog, ladios and gentlemen, has mind be has
edicated mind, xie can tell the time of day
He can play poker equal to any Congressman,
He can tell the age of an individual, so as to
please the ladies and astonish the gentlemen
And don't be know liquor? Well, may be he
don t. But iuht try him, that a all: and li
you don't find him drunk as a senator, why
constipate my digestion, that 8 all. Now,
Ben. wide awake, old fellow; eyes of Dela,
ware and my stick are on you: astonish
these intellectual encyclopedias of homo
gtneous locomotion."
This amazing use of heavy English evi
dentlv impressed Ben with the belief that
bis exhibitor was swearing violently, and
Le set about Lis tasks with a - cheerful
alaerity that was manifested by a continu
oub twisting and untwisting of his caudal
appendage, accompanied by a series of
grants that told of his aaxiety. He gave
ns the time with aceuracy, and as for ages,
Ben's education was perfect. He invaria
bly flattered the ladies by reporting their
vears to be about half the number nature
had allowed them, while the men were
made so old that the sting was removed in the
absurdity. His games of poker aud old
sledge brought down the house, they were
so dexterous and perfect.
After tbe audience bad retired. I yet lin
gered upon the threshold. I was loth to
leave a specimen of hog so entertaining ai
this Ben. To learn something more, I ap
proached the odd speoimen of humanity, and
earnestly invited him to a little refreshment
at Harvey s. Consenting, we were soon
seated, and I led him over his lager and oys
ters to the subject we were both bo interested
in. I have had in my time all sorts of table-
talk, from horses to wines; but for the first
time had a full dish of hog talk.
"Now, my dear sir, 1 said, leaning over
confidentially, with my face braced between
my two hands and my elbows planted on the
table, "how under heaven do yon manage to
instruct a hog?"
hasy enough, Cap, when you once get the
1 . !l 11 w
llBDg OI 11.
"And how?"
"The hang of it lies in the feed. The road
to a hog's intellect lies through his stomach,
A low diet with high culture is my motto.
"And how did you make this wonderful
discovery ?"
"Easy enough. I bad a cousin in the show
business, and he used to tell me how they
edicated the animals. The first thing, Cousin
Jake said, was to get your animal that had
turn for things naturally smart, you know.
Well, I turned that over in my mind, for I
was bound to make a raise. The old farm
had run under until it looked like a widow's
well. While I was thinking about it, I ob
served that hog. ne was the cunningest hog
ever set on hoofs. He belonged to an old
nigger, and had an eye to cultivating our
farm. . Ef there was a hole, he'd find it: and
ef there was no hole, he'd make it; and ef he
couldn t climb an ordinary fence or histe
gate, no hog could. His only enemy was
Uncle Sammy's dog 'Camomile.' And here's
where the surprising part comes in. Every
baturday Uncle bammy went off to town
and got drunk, and he was pretty sure not
to turn np before Monday night: and that
dog Camomile went along to take care of the
old man. When the old man got into a fight
on tbe ordinance of 87 he was infernal
ugly on them ordinances when half tight
uamomue, who didn t care a cuss for the or
dinances, but did for Uncle Sammy, went for
the seat of the enemy's breeches. But that's
neither here nor there. I observed that the
hog was very attentive to our farm on them
days, and I took to watching him. I'll be
hanged ef that hog hadn't the run of the
week good as a human, and that dog Camo
mile wouldn t be fairly out of sight afore lien
d turn np, and come in spite of Providence,
One day I caught him a-waiting under the
bush in the cross-roads, on a rise where he
could see both ways, a-watching; and when
Camomile and old Sammy were fairly out of
sight he gave a grunt and set out on a trot
for our farm. And he talked to himself all
the way. t
"I went for that hog. That intellectual
beast took me. I bought him of his pro.
prietor, the colored citizen, for a jug of old
rye, and then 1 set about his edication.
fastened him up in a box and gave him not a
ration for twenty-four hours. You ought to
have heard that hog remonstrate at the end
of that probation. I began with the alphabet
and figures. It was mighty slow at first. I
really thought that swine would have died at
college. But as soon as he got the hang of
it, and knew what I was a-driving at, he did
Eick up amazingly, I tell you. I used to give
im stick corn and the rlthermatiok six hours
a day."
"And yon have done well with him 7
"Haven't I? That hog Ben has lifted a
mortgage, built a new barn, repaired the old
house, and put our farm under fence, so as to
be hog-proof, I tell yon."
"You 11 make your fortune out of him.
"No, Cap. The intellectual process is too
much for hog natur. He is in a decline.
The brain-work's too much for Ben. You
see it ain't their natur. In another year he'll
have passed away among the enlightened
beasts of the past."
"Why don t yon turn him out to reormtr
"Can't do it; tried, but can't. All the
natural old hog sense has been edicated out
of that beast. He has such a hankering for
intellectual pursuits that he can't thrive. No!
that hog's a goner more's the pity."
And a tear rolled down the nose of the
rofes8or. Whether this came from lager or
ove. or a loss of profit, I could not de
termine.
