I Extract* from Forster's new -Biography..] MOKE ABOUT I.ASBOK. Big Temperament, Judgments and Opinions. We conclude our extracts from this fascinating biography to-day: ! ONE OF LANDOIt’S QUARRELS. ■ A defence of England’s treatment of Napo -1 leon, by Landor, in Latin, was detained by the .censor at Como. Landor complained that the rules of censorship excepted Latin compo sitions: “The regio delegate sent me information (Writes Landor) that my Latin poems were de tained only because it was customary to send two copies, one of which continued in the archives of ilie censor, but that if I was de sirous of it I might apply to his office. Not caring about the copy, I never went. About a week afterwards he sent a second letter, to in form me that he requested 'iny attendance on A, affairs very interesting to me. I went imrnedi “ atelv; He then discovered his first fallacy, and began to read a letter from Count Strasoldo, in which this fellow expressed his surprise that I 1 should, use injurious expressions towards the „• royal censor, a person immediately acting upder government. He then closed The letter arid thought it requisite. to make a comment ’ upon it . He was astonished that 1 should write an insolent letter. I stopped him quietly, and said, ‘Sir, the word insolent is never applied to a gentleman. If you had known the laws of honor or propriety you would not have used iL and if you had dared to utter it in any other place you would have received a bella basto nata.’ At this lie sprang from his chair and rang the bell. He called the guards and all the officers of the police, wlio live under the same roof during the daytime, , With these re inforcements he pursued: ‘Btajpare instantly to conduct this gentleman to Milan. Sir, unless you immediately retract your words you answer to government.’ I replied:‘l never retract any word of mine; but I tell you in presence of all these persons that before 1 leave this room you ■shall retract yours.’ He then pretended tliat ; he said rather insolent, that insolent meant j disrespectful or violent,that if I liad understood ; the language I should not have animadverted j on the expression, that lie expressed >] the sentiments of Count Strasoldo. I replied; ‘I care not a quattriuo what are the sentiments •. of .Count Strasoido; but lie would not dare,and .-vf*. — ypu may tell him that lie would not dare,from -~i ■ • me, to use any such expression towards his 1 equal. There is not one among the guards you \ have called in . who would endure it. As-for , your sending rue to Milan under arrest, do it, if you are not afraid of exposing yourself still more than you have done.’ ile then began talking of lii's honor, that lie had been in tlie service, that (lie threat "of a caning was not to be home, and tliat if it was not for his high office he would settle tlie business with his ' sword in the square. I laugliedin liis lace; and the rascal had the baseness to oiler his hand in token of reconciliation, and to tell me wliat a friend lie had always been of the English.

Very sore.was Southey’s needof liis friendfs praise just now (18111), for upon him and upon Wordsworth dark days liad set ; ih. The still continuing arid -increasing rage for Byro’n'and liis imitators had all but extinguished what scant popularity the other once enjoyed,.arid’ for .selling power ] their books werp' at zero., Southey had hoped to see the bubble burst in •a year or two; hut double the time liad come .and- gone., and never did it soar so high as now, or flare out. with wliat doubtless seemed to bun' such frothy hut highly colored pretences. 1 Re plying letter of his friend ill May, 1819, lie cannot, control his temper., "He describes tlie fashionable compound as made up of mor bid feelings, atrocious principles, exaggerated charactersj.and incidents of monstrous and dis gusting horror; adding that the more un-Eng lish, auteCiiristian ' and immoral it was,' the surer .it was of being better liked, provided only it were skivered over with a frotliof philosophy. Was dt wonderful tliat, such being the fashion, Wordsworth was despised and abused ? The getting :»busod in such company was his own solitary hit of comfort, for nobody paid liim the compliment-ot'Jmitating what he did. LANDOR TO THE RESCUE —HE BEARS .DOWN ox iintox, “Afterwards,’'said Landor of his Lordship, ■in .an “Imaginary Conversation,” “whenever lie wrote a .bad ,peem, he supported Dads sink ing fame by some signal act of profligacy; an ■elegy by a seduction, a heroic by .an adultery, a tragedy by a divorce. On tlie remark of a learned man that irregularity is no indication of genius, lie began to loose ground rapidly, when on .a sudden be cried out at the Hayrnar ket: There is no God. It was then surmised more[ generally and more gravely that there was something in li'ini, and lie stood upon his' legs almost to (lie last.” LANDOR REFUNDS TO HIS PUBLISHERS. “l am not informed (wrote Landor in 1830) how long this .Scotchman ( Blackwood's Mai/a zine) hashoen at work about me, hut my pub lisher lias advised me that he loses £l5O by my Pericles. So that it is probable tlie Edinburgh Areopagites have condemned me to a fine in my absence; for inever can allow any man to be a loser by me, and am trying to economize to the .amount of this indemnity to Saunders and Otley. * * * * I think it probable that I shall fix myselfat Clifton for a year.” The Blackwood review Was really not a bad one, and, with a laugh for the absurdity of its parallel passages, .might have satisfied any man; lie described it himself as a mere “kick on tlie shin between two compliments”; yet wliat was here threatened was soon afterwards actually done, and. the hundred pounds which Mr. James had obtained for the MS. of Pericles was paid back by Landor to its publishers. It may he held perhaps hereafter among the curi osities of literature that an author should have done this. lam not acquainted with any other instance. iiazlitt's orixiox of Wordsworth’s HKAUTY. Landor, .expressing much admiration of Wordsworth, said he had a strong desire to see him. “We]l, sir,” said Ilazlitt, “you never saw him, then? But you have seen a horse, I suppose ?” Landor smiled, and he went oil. “Well, sir, if you have seen ajhorse, I mean his head, sir, you may say you have seen Words worth.” It should he added, however, that the poet’s face had been a sore subject with Ilazlitt ever since his luckless attempt to paint it twenty years before, when Southey had de scribed the result as presenting Wordsworth at the foot of the gallows, deeply affected by his deserved fate,yet determined to die like a man. “Hazlitt in those days,” Wordsworth after wards wrote, “was practising portrait-painting with professional views;” and 'thus, at one of his first ventures, the ambitious young limner had stumbled oil the threshold. lIOW DICKENS FOUND LAXDOJi's HOUSE AT FIESOLE. Ten years after Landor had lost Lliis home,an Englishman traveling in Italy, his friend and mine, visited the neighborhood for his sake, drove out'from Florence to Fiesole, and asked his coachman which was the villa in which the Landor family lived, “lie was a dull dog, and pointed to Boccaccio’s. I didn’t believe him. lie wits so deuced ready that I knew he lied. I went up to the convent, which is on a height, and was leaning over a dwarf wall, basking in the noble view over a vast range of hill and valley, when a little peasant girl came up and began to point out the localities. Echo la villa Laniloml was one of’ the first half-dozen sen tences she spoke. My heart swelled up almost as Lander's would have done when I looked down upon it, nestling among its olive trees and vines, and with its upper windows (there arc live above the door) open to the setting sun. Over the centre of these there is another story, set upon the housetop like a tower; and all Italy, except its sea, is melted down into, the glowing landscaiie it commands.. . I plucked a leaf of ivy from the convent gardeiias I looked; and here it is. For Landor. With my love.” So wi ote Mr. Dickens to me from Florence on die 2d of April, IBIS; and when I turned over Landor’s papers hi the same month sifter an in terval of exactly twenty years, the ivy-leaf was found carefully enclosed, with the letter in which,l had sent it. /, • LANMOIt’s OPINION OF MICHAEL - ANGELO’S “LAKT JUDGMENT.” r I have even heard him so -irreverent -as.to compare a famous painting in the Sistine Chapel to a prodigious giblet-ple.

At an old bookseller’s in Bristol he picked up some of the writings of Blake,and was strangely fascinated by them. lie was anxious to have collected as many more as lie coidd, aiid en listed me in the service; but lie as much wanted patience for it as I wanted time, and between us it came to nothing. He protested that Blake had been AVordswortli’s- prototype, and wished they could have divided his madness be tween them; for that some accession of it in the one case and something of. a dimilmtion of it hi tlie other,' would very greatly have unproved, -both;.

Landor had by' this time become known, not wisely but too well, among the Italian picture dealefSjWho passed through his-.hands as many rare Old masters as Would have set up the for tunes of, half the galleries, of Europe. In this, ais in ,too many, other things, he had . lio other judgment than his will, and a cheerful self ■ imposture enabled him in perfect good faith to carry'on the imposture honestly with all, even the inscals who made it'their commodity, lie wOjild so prepare you by a letter .for his Riibengorhls Raffaelle,or in its presence would : do it homage with such perfect good faith- that your own eyes were; ready as his to be made fools to the other senses. “Your picture found 'its way to Altbii,” wrote Augustus Hare to him in the summer of 1833, “and we thought it almost worthy of the letter which announced , its coming. More perfect than that letter.it could not havebeenif Rafl'aelie had pamted the whole of iti’,’ iltwas incident.to such treasures ..of course that they should rapidly accumulate; here and there even a real master crept in; and what With the splendor of the framesj'the show upon his walls became magnificent. But tlie principle of the collection admitted hardly of a .limit* arid-tlic treasures overflowed, ;ne had taken several with.him to England. Ablett had it Carlo Dolce: his sisters some.Claudes' and ’ Caualettis; and his brother Henry, with special injunction that lie should place them at Tafclibrooke; which in part he hail' lately re purchased, some masters its old as Perugino.' He now tells his sisters (Btli January, 1834,) that he lias a great many more pictures going to them, only delayed by the rogues in' the .cus tom-house wanting more money. As to his brother’s of their offering to pay for them, that was quite out of the question.- He had more than lie has room for, as liis windows are low, not .reaching to the middle'height of the apart ments; aiid they were to tell Henry that liis batch would follow, They would he very old ones, Cimabues and Giottos, arid , were getting ready from suppressed convents and monas teries at Prato amt Pistoia. In ' later years I partook myself of this munificence; and I well remember, when I their met Julius Hare with Landor what a grave smile, lighting up' the deeprinarked lines of liis thoughtful face* lie spoke ojf bis drawing room at llurstmonceaux as perhaps the only one in England that had seven virgins in it almost aliof them three hundred, years old. the juit or mosaic. Landor had liis home in Bath, and while the Exlribitiori of *5,1 was bringing, all .the world to: London,' lie was ..reminded W the American sculptor (Greenough) Who thus vis ited him w.itli Emerson,of one subject-tliat had arisen in itheir .conversation under liis -“fig-trees' •ori the southern slope of the Fiesdlan hills,” riot included in liis .countrjimanls .recollections. Looking down on the little village where Michael Angelo was bom, they had. spoken of the land effort that the Tuscan princes had chosen chiefly to encourage in Florence, since the date When the founder of the monarchy entered as prince, and Michael Angelo went out as exile. This was Hie art of mosaic—the school for fashioning “piebald mineralogical specimens into a greater or less re semblance of fruits, flowers and land scapes;” which had flourished while Giotto was overlaid With whitewash and Leonardo and Eallaelle were carried off by strangers from their native cities; and which had dared at last to rear,by the very side of the tombs ef Giuliano and Lorenzo* the so-named (and well-named) Gliapel of the Princes, all of whose ornaments were the products of its Clunese industry 'aniKTurkisli taste. Mr.Green ougli reminded Landor of a remark lie had made upon then having) with such gewgaws brushed the very beard of the sculptor of Moses, that it was “as if a fellow in a laced coat should start up to claim atten tion where Ciesar was and was speaking;” and wliat now would he say to the production that had been sent over from Florence to represent the birthplace of Buonurotti at the world’s fair, which was neither more nor less tliaii a table in pietra dura that had cost a hundred thousand frnneessoni, or, in other words, a day's work of four hundred thousand Tuscans! “I can not but think,” was Greenougli’s appeal to Landor, “that such stolid impertinence as this calls for justice at your hand.” “Now posswres.” Fisk and Adelina Patti. The N. Y. Sun says: Among the many interesting particulars that we have learned from perusing the last num ber of the Eco (V Italia is the fact that our dis tinguished fellow-citizen, Admiral James Fisk, Jr., is a master of the Latin language. We have long been aware that lie was gifted with many accomplishments, hut his familiarity with the noble old dialect of Homulus and Ilemus had not before come to our knowledge. The Eco (V Italia states, however, that when Mad ame Patti-Csthx received the offer of an en gagement to sing a hundred nights in the Uni ted States, made to her on behalf of the Ad miral, her demands were-so enormous, that. Fisk, Jr:, instantly replied by telegraph in the Latin words: Non poxsumvs. If what is stated ’ of Patti’s exactions be correct, this was not only good /Latin, but good sense. The young lady asked for the hundred nights two hundred thousand dollars’'iii gold, one-half of the whole sum to be deposited for her in France before sailing, and the other.half to be-paid night by night, two hours before each performance. She also required that she should be allowed to choose all the other artists to be engaged to sing with her. t *. ■// Madame Patti is a very shrewd woman of' business, and her husband is quite as keen after the main chance as she is; hut at. this rate we shall probably never again hear her siiig in America.

And this leads us to warn those of our readers for, whom the warning is not too late, that they carry anything of a fragile nature in their trunk's when they travel at an enormous risk. Bottles of cologne water will like as not be found on unpacking 'emptied of their con tents; tooth-powder will whiten other things than teeth; and as for ink, no words can de scribe the rashness of him who ventures, to carry it otherwise than in a cast-iron vessel, with a well-soldered stopper. The -trunks themselves should be well riveted and hooped, and should not be expected to last duringraore than one or at most two summer campaigns. One of these days we shall compel railroad companies to treat travelers’ baggage as if they had some sense of their ditty to tlie public, hut at.present Bedouin Arabs could not be more lawless. Intemperance in aiaryland. The Boston Sun says: “It is a startling esti mate, but brie which is by many believed to he fair, that 1 not less titan one out of every -three of the residents of Maryland, as well as -of other States, are suffering in ’various ways from the effects of intemperance. An appeal is published by the trustees of the Maryland Inebriate Asylum for assistance to enable them to erect suitable buildings and accommodations for the asyhuri, which was incorporated by the Legislature nine years ago. Dr. A. C. Robin son is president of the board, with twelve trus tees residing in Baltimore and one in each county of the State. The State lias given for the use of this institution thirty acres of the 130 set apart for tlie Insane Asylum at Catonsville. There has been subscribed from $22,000 to $23,000 for the erection of a suitable building.. The Insane Asylum being unfinished, with the exception of the north wing, which is expected to be ready for occupancy next month, it is proposed, by authority of an aot of the Leg islature, to give tlie use of tills wing temporarily to the Inebriate Asylum, transferring to that place the patients now at Maryland Hospital, Monument street and Mount Hope. From five to ten thousand dollars are needed to commence the institution in this temporary location. As, however, in two years, the Insane Hospital will be completed and be required for its own exclusive purposes, a building mast be speedily erected for the exclusive use of the Inebriate Asylum, and the trustees invoke the assistance of all philanthropists for this purpose."

We stood once highest among countries whose dramatic literature was the Ugliest. We have entirely lost that position now. We stand in the matter of dramatic literature on a lower level than any other country in Europe dec-use of the muTisit stage. It'Will serve ps as a justification to say that the taste for the drama itself lias declined; for when our drama ■ stood loftiest (in modern times) the dnuna was cultivated and respected •"■'in'all other nations.'" And it is so at this mo ment in eveiy other European country save England. It is in England only that the glory of the drama lias gone down, and it is a fact much lo he deplored, for it coincides with an undeniable degeneracy of taste,and it suppresses the noblest form of expression affected by the national tongue. We say advisedly ‘-the noblest,” because ■in a really great drama nothing should fail, and the liiglier the truths you utter (so they be truths) the more inevitable you impress the crowd, no matter of what various elements it may be formed. To compose a great drama is a lofty aim. and one to which any man may be proud to aspire. To restore life to the glorious dead, and tor a brief space put the present and the past face to face, was for ages the chief object of dramatic art . It implied a grand exercise of man's finest faculties, and through all time we devoutly honor such names as that of. JEscliylus. But as the years roll on, the deed grows to be less thought of, and the man who did it, more; we becouie as St. Augustine wished we should do, curious of ourselves. After Action had reigned supreme through the whole of the Middle Ages, and—extremes yielding forever the same re sults—we have witnessed the same sacrifice of the. individual to the fact achieved, of which our most advanced brethren in America furnish a fresh example; after tins period, men come to turn their eves inward, and ask why they did this or that deed. The deed itself lost its ex clusive interest, and the doer of it became the problem to be solved. . ' A THE MODERN SCHOOL. Of this modern school of dramatic art, the ■ completest expression that can be conceived is Shakespeare. However we may try, we can conceive beyond nothing. ■ Throughout antiquity and the darker times men did more than they talked or thought. Now, and since’ the Sixteenth Century,we grtul- Bally talk and think more than we do; mail's motives become, as it were, actors, and the reason of Wliat he achieves -interests, us even ! more than, the achievement.. AVe repeat it, we "are-curious of ourselves, and. ; oue vast note of interrogation stamps'itself upon nearly every . .expressed fbim of our,thought. A; J '' _ It is just possible that in tiffs dramatic tact of the altered motive of the . drama may lie .somewhat of our national neglect of it, for we still appear singularly aesirous.of avoiding w hat-- ■ soever comes uuder the head ,of self-analysis. . Foreign nations have never shrunk from this, hut on tlie contrary and for two "centuries the « French drama has in reality rested its whole ■ fabric upon the development ’ of character— * upon cause's which' have dotenuiued certain men to do certain deeds.’- . .

Parlia ment makes measures; the drama .makes men. THE dkamatist. It is not true to say that a great poet lias as much influence as a great dramatist; he lias not, for the clement of publicity is, wanting; the electric action of soul* upon soul, the im mediate action of man upon man. It is for this that the drama in itself is the grandest form of expressed thought—it contains all others. To be a supreme dramatic poet (we will take Shakespeare, Calderon, Goethe as the highest examples—Schiller comes long after) a man must lie everything else. He must be a: politician, a historian, a poet, a philosopher and an orator. He must combine two radically op posite natures; and be at once a naan of action and of thought; lie must conceive and criticise, but, above all, he must directly and publicly impress a crowd of other men. He must, with Egmont. teach tyrants of all times how they foolishly forfeit dominion; and with Hamlet reflect the impress of other men’s deeds, and live jierpetually irresolute, “sicklied o’er’’ him self “with the pale cast of thought.” Absolute excellence—hard to attain every where—is of harder attainment in the , drama than in any other form of literature, because, as we have said, it implies so much; but apart from absolute excellence achieved, the drama is, of its kind, noble, and its cultivation is a healthy thing in a great community. Now iit the present moment bow'does if stand with uk? ita'compared* with the two great centuries of, European civilization, .with France and Germany, and above : all with France, what have we? France has orators, so have we; novelists, poets, first-rate histo rians—so liave we; but France lias dramatists, we have none. Take, for instance, a man like •"•■■■■' KOBKUTISIIO WNIN’G —a man evidently made.for dramatic.composi tion, gifted with tlie ; peculiar -assemblage of gifts requisite for making. tlie creatures of bis brain live and act—wliat chance has he of at taining to the complete manifestations of him self t.liat is imparted by dramatic art? He has none, and, therefore, remains incomplete, and we, the public; remain ignorant of the en tire worth of our best poets and thinkers. We never possess them wholly. The French do. A man like. VICTOIt UUCiO, for instance, feels life surging up within liiin; be finds expression in verse, seizes the public ear while yet a boy, and is driven onward by success! The creative power oppresses liiin; he bursts upon the stage, creates, imparts, life to human beings,"and' begins a struggle with the entire publicof/France, which lasts for over a quarter of a century.. There is, from a purely icsthetical point of view, far more to blame than to praise hi Huso's dramas, but they run over with life, and they are the extreme expression of the poet. 'Franceknows.hHabout Hugo; we very incompletely know our thinkers and poets. That it was worth while knowing wliat was in Victor Hugo is proved by the'recent revival of “HEUNAN'I.” Here is a play, written : five-aml-tliirty years ago,at the outset of a career, which play suffices as the proclaimer of national protestation five und-fhirty years after. There was evidently something there, and tliat sometliing would have been obtained in no other possible form. When the younger masses of the nation, in the year 1807, were chafing and sickening over the basenesses and corruptions of the actual regime in France, they did not exhume a speech of any political orator,or quote phrases from any great moralist’s lucubrations; they foimd all they wanted in the grandeur (for, in spite of all its enormous defects, it never loses, that) of “Hernani,” and, catching fire at the flame, they exploded. , ' Here was a public fact—a fact telling upon the public life, and produetible only by the public poetry, :is I would fain style it, of the stage BE GIH.VBDIX. Another case in point is to be found in the ‘■Supplice d’une Femme.” M. de Giranlin—to whose various manifestations of himself the public is indispensable, who could not breathe if lie did not think the public was there—M. de Girardin, who could address the nation from every tribune and through every organ, did not hesitate to turn at once toward the stage: A great disorder seemed in his sight to be exist ing socially; he laid it bare. For'years, .writers of all degrees had been, excusing adultery, poetizing illicit 16ve; he was struck only by its terrors! and its vileness, He painted coarsely a picture of what adultery really is, tore away its poetry, showed the degradation achieved by a woman who is loved illicitly, and sentenced to the perpetuity of her fault; and the effect was attained. " i ■ : The piece was Inferior in every point of view, save one. It was ill-written, ill-con-/ stracted; but it contained a truth, and for tliat it stood, and yet stands. It also told upon the - “[iublichnindandlifeiismnclras'any-politicalr harangue, or any lawgiver’s theories, w any churchman's sermons. There is no citizen in France who would not desire, if-he had it.inhim, to produce a great drama. There lies the dignity of the stage; in France. The drama, besides being a supreme expansion of human, thought, wluclpit is un wise to suppress, is an aim toward which every man of genius tends naturally; for whatever Ids other literary successes, this distinguishes ; . hint most In the eyes of his "Wlieh ' ft ; _■/• lived,;his',gi'eat ambition Was the drama. ; if such a man came back, among us now, would lie find, any encouragement' to, epabody his thoughts-iii creatures who act and live?

There are ups and downs in literature in France, as_ every where else; periods when this or that form of thought asserts itself more or less, but there is; always a Body-eritical and always a public. Now* these two aliment each other. Where the public is intelligent and active, the Body-; critical cannot afford to be negligent; and where; the Body-critical does its whole duty always,; the public will never fail. ; Our complaint is, that here in England, ive; have neither Body-critical -nor public in the, true sense. Wliericntlcism * nods, a genuine public wakes it up -vety, .quickly;. but where there is no longer sitcli i public, criticism must , take.care of ; ,itself,-for it has immense responsi bilities. 'Three' or four- writers or moderate talent but thorough, conviction would suffice; tlie small .change of one Buskin -would, -,do for literature and tiietiramaAVlfat'he hasdone for. plastic. But there are a few primoitiial rules that critics must lay down.for themselves and observe. It is not enough to blame or. praise riierely. Criticism ignores wholesale praise and still more wholesale blame. Criticism takes every part of a whole into account, and that; nicely; adds up scmpulously the sums oneithei! side, and tries conscientiously to strike at tlie, end an even balance. Criticism is'the assize!; court of authors, and you’ve done no more to; improve a w r riter when you’ve- condemned hist writings, than you liave to impro.ve a man when you’ve hung him. V 1 " fTlie diity of a critic is to weigh ajl . things, justly? Many persons latterly liavebeen'stnick with a signal instance of the reverse of such; justice as applied-toward, 1 - m / LOKD X.YtTON’B “niGBTFI&L HEII1.” It Ls one out of many cases in point, and liap- peus to lie the nwst repent one.. ; It seems to many persons that, in the state of our stage m England, Lord Lytton’s late drama was not one with which to deal harshly. There * might be objections'to-make; granted; there were many deficiencies to point out, and there was tlie fact .(admitted by the author him self in bis preface j of the play having been “re written.” Re-written is Lord Lytton’s own expression, and the circumstance of its hayiiu* been thus ? “re-written,” and ot its; having hi the origin been “suggested” by a novel of Al exandre Dumas, would seem to be the chief reasons for the disfavor with which it has been regaided by English critics.’ - . ! We avow our incapacity to appreciate the gravity of these two objections. Most dramas have in all times beeii “suggested”’ by incidents recorded elsewhere, either in liistory or fiction? anil if a play, even once acted, be found de fective, and be “rewritten”,'in order to be im? proved, we would submit that that is a fact to lie welcomed, and not harshly greeted by the public. The incidents are; of a stirring nature, yet not verging on tlie impossible; taking into count It he moment of our histoiy in which the drama is placed, there is nothing extravagant in tlie blot; nor is there anything in tlie cliarac tersthemselves wliicli tloes not belong'to them naturajlv. Lord Lytton’s play is full of passages of strength anti beauty;'riot made to ! be read arid jiondered over, but to be listened to by the pul* lie as necessary' to the action in which, they are interested. , ~ •; Let us grant tliat there may lie a laiger mea sure of deficiencies in “The Rightful Heir” than we individually recognize; still; for many reasons, we hold that the work was , entitled to a very different measure of favor from, that which it lias received. ' Firstly, the absence of a national drariia be ing deeply to be deplored, any serious dramatic attempt ought to be hailed with; gratitude and respect, and the poefs and thinkers of a couri trv be encouraged to aim at this completest form of expression. And, secondly, Lord Lytton’s right to this respect at the hands of every English critic would seem an almost un deniable one; for not only has lie for a quarter of a century bad a lion’s share in tlie task of drawing the world’s attention to English litera ture, but especially lie has done more than any writer since Knowles towards raising the con dition of our stage. A Malay Funeral Jn Sew Orleans. In the lower part of the city are a few fami lies of Malays. By what circumstances tliey ever removed here is not known, but tliey. preserve the customs and semi-barbarous su perstitions that have distinguished their people and country. They bury "their dead at night, and, like the American Indian, slaughter upon the grave some auimal the deceased loved in life. Saturday afternoon a young, girl, died on Barracks street, and waS buried Sunday night, in the old cemetery on Gentilly road. There being no priest of then- religion here, the cere mony was performed by the oldest man oi then' country residing among them. He was clad in a long black robe,and preceded.on foot,the cortege which conveyed the remains to the grave. Arriv ing there the tomb was anointed and a fish and some cake placed in the vault. This /was ac companied by a ceremony at once solemn and impressive. This over, a bird was killed aiul laid on the breast of the deceased, wliile all-the friends and relatives passed by the coffin,'each one laying their hand on the head and saying in tlieir native tongue the simple word farewell! No tears ware slied. Tliey do not view the transition of the soul an occasion of grief. The Solemn parting is but a temporary separation, and the resignation they manifest aflords an example Christians might well conclude to imi tate. The ceremonial over, the family returned home accompanied by their immediate friends, and fruit and wine aiid bread are given to each' in tlie name of the dead. By it they promise to preserve their constancy to eacli other, and by tlieir love for the dead perpetuate tlieir friendship. —New Orleans Picayune, 30th.
