IFerllio Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] TUItOWII MINISINSC^|AI4IiEV,. BY WIM.iAM TKAVTWJNEJ. . ' No. 9.—DINGMAN’S Morning had not yet been fairly extricated from the small hours, when vigorous tlmnipmg at the door Instantly startled four human frames, occupying as many 'cots, into L shaped fif£tir6s* • - « Git tip !!! please! Stage ’most ready!” Vfe rose, and breakfasted by the light of a bleat-eyed .lamp. How those of our com panions wildcat with' its wild glare confronting them were enabled to discern the distinctions *• «f fish, flesh and bone, I can but negatively conjecture from melancholy experience. Still, * a Jafge pitcher near the illuminating; source famished cheerful variety by casting an, in tensely dark shadow over some one-sixth of the tahle-top. At length oiu- crowded little stage moved •fl in the light of “ the dim gray dawn.”;. By and by the sun rose, belated, wan and befogged, as from a night of revel and unrest, throwing over'the. wide river, meadows on our jfeht a sickly glimmer, significant of wetness instore. To the left, the hills of the western wildness rise suddenly from the road, furnish ing for its bed an inexhaustible supply of frag mentary shale, which packs tinder the influ ence of travel into the finest tnmpike of our State. For more than twenty miles, from ' Bnshkill to Milford, this superb highway K stretches its level floor, yielding a resounding ‘ note under the rapid and otherwise silent * movement of many vehicles. Seven miles of journeying brought us to the little white cottages of Diugman’s Ferry. We seemed to have stolen a march upon the good folks,- most of whom still slumbered as we jolted past their pleasantly embowered homes. A jocund youth, whose one moiety we carried dangling outside, amiably shouted the ' sleepers the advantages: of early,, vising. The . hotehpeople, however, were not to. be caught r capping, though their hbllow greeting suggested truthfully that breakfast was still without. Our stage, tarrying but to part with us and ain, he would, sob and roar under it v in all common tilings of life, he Was gifted with mighty, powers of imagination, elevation ot mind, delicacy and refinement of feeling. “He is more modest than a virgin behind her curtain,” it was said of him. He was most indulgent to his inferiors, and would never allow his awkward little page to be scolded, whatever he did. Ten years, said Anas, his servant, was 1 about the prophet, and he never said as much ,as.“ Uff” to me. He was very affectionate towards Ids family. One of his hoys died on his breast in the smoky house of the; nurse, • a black smith’s wife. He: was very fond of children. He would stop them in the streets, and pat their little cheeks. He never struck any One in his life. The worst expression lie ever made use of in conversation was, “What has come to him ?—may Ids forehead he darkened with mud!’’ When asked to curse some one lie re plied! I have hot been sent to curse, but to be a mercy tb mankind. “He visited the sick, followed any bier he met, accepted the invita tion of a slave to dinner, mended lus own clothes, milked his goats, and waited upon himself.” relates suihmarily another tradition. He never first withdrew his hand out of another man’s palm, and turned not before the other had turned. His hand, we read elsewhere—and traditions like these give a good index of what the Arabs exported their prophet to be—was the most generous, ins breast the most courageous, his tongue the most truthful; he was the most faithlul pro tector of those lie protected, the sweetest and most agreeable in conversation; those who came near him loved him, they who described him would say, ‘T have never seen ins like either before 'Or after.” He was of m-eat taciturnity, and when lie spoke be spoke with emphasis and deliberation, and no one could ever forget What lie said. He was, however, " very nervous and restless withal, often low-spirited, down cast as to heart and eyes. Yet. lie would at times suddenly break through those broodings, become gay, talkative, Jocular, chiefly among bis own. ne would then delight in telling amusing little stories, iairy-tales,- and the like. He would romp with the.children and play with tlieir toys—as, after his first wife’s death, lie was 'wont to play with the dolls his new baby-wife bad brought into bis house. The Koran, moreover, suffers more than anv other book we could think ol by a trans lation, however masterly. If anywhere,, it is here that the summumjm minma injunct bolus ••ood. What makes the Talmud so pavticu farly delightful is this peculiar fact that when ever jurisprudence with its thousand techni calities and uncouth terms is out of the ques tion, it becomes easy, translucent, and clear to tlie merest beginner. The pathetic > uutetc of its diction, and the evident pains it takes to make all its sayings household words, is some thing for which we cannot be too grateful. Hence also the fact that these words in their wisdom and grace must needs find an echo in every true heart, if told exactly as they stand, without attempt to color them. • The grandeur of the Koran, on tlie other hand, consists, its contents apart, in its diction. We cannot ex plain the peculiarly dignified, impressive, sonorous nature of Semetic sound and par lance ; its estjuipedaUa verba with their crowd of prefixes and affixes, each of them affirming its own position, while consciously bearing upon and influencing the central root—which they envelop like a garment of many folds, or as chosen courtiers move around the anointed person of the King. May be, some stray reader remembers a cer tain thrill on waking suddenly in the middle of his first night on Eastern soil—waking, as it were, from dream into dream. For there came a voice, solitary, sweet, sonorous, floating from on High through the moonlight stillness —the voice of the blind Mueddin, singing the Ulah, or first Call to. Prayer. At the sound whereof many a white figure would move silently on the low roofs, and not merely, like the palms and cypresses around, bow liis head, but prostrate, and bend his knees. And the sounds went and came, “Ailahu Akbar. . . . Prayer is better than sleep. . . . There is no God but lie. ... He giveth life and He dieth not, . . , Oh! thou bountiful. . . . Tliy mercy ceaseth not. .": '. My sins are great, greater is Thy mercy. . . . I extol liis perfection. . . ■ Ailahu Akbar!”—and this reader may have a vague notion of Arabic and Koranic sound, ene which he will never forget.” . THE EEIGH Ml'M JIOXHII.M. Ita luauarnration. The monument erected to the memory of ; Leigh Hunt, in -Konsal Green Cemetery, Lon don, was uncovered on Wednesday, October 20, in the presence of a number of the dead author’s relations, friends and admirers. Mr. Thornton Hunt and daughter were pre sent. Lord H ougliton delivered an address in one of the side chapels of the cemetery. He expressed surprise that a man of letters,whose acquaintance with Leigh Hunt could only have been in the later years of his lite, and who had no intimate association with him except from the circumstance of having been the biographer of a young poet in whoso fame he took a deep interest, should be ad dressing them how instead of one of those mature men who had become the glory ot English literature. He was told that one rea son why such a person was not addressing them was that an objection was entertainedm some quarters to ceremonies like the present. He could not see how such a, simple cere mony could be otherwise than useful. ft was matter for regret that mnong the contemporaries of Leigh Hunt there was not one present at the ceremony. Amongst the generation of poets Leigh Runt was re cognized as a companion „and by the best, ot them ho was beloved as a friend, in poetical criticism his acuteness and sympathy made him pre-eminent. He was held up by some as an enemy to religion, whereas lie was a man from whose heart came a flowing piety spread ing itself over all nature and every channel in which it wns possible to run. Jlo.had— there was no other phrase for it —a superstition of B °The Company then proceeded to the monu ment' which is at the southwest corner of the cemetery. On being uncovered it was seen to hear the following-inscription : JAMES HENBY 'LEIGH HUNT, Born October 18,1784. Died August 28,185!). Write me as one That loves liis fellow-nien. Lord Houghton then made over the monu ment to the friends of Mr. Leigh Hunt and to posterity, and Mr. Thornton Hunt, in a tew words, expressed the thanks of the family.

WASDEBISd PRAYERS. “Peregrine Pickle ” contributes to the Chicago Tribune tlie following letter from a traveling actor. It is a good one for “points-:” Dramatic business in tlie suburbs is rather at a low ebb just at present. If I had $lO,OOO a year and no responsibilities, I could not wish for better sport than to cast my fortunes—or at least a portion of them—with a traveling theat rical company, and play at playing. Nowhere can you study to tetter advantage the eapri 'cious humors of that many-lie;uled, intractable thing called the public, than from the foot lights of, the. transitory country theatre. But when 3’ou come to depend upon these same caprices for your daily bread, the “ fun of the thing" becomes not so apparent. There is a kind of “ humorous sadness” iii-tbe life of a" f . wandering “ Hamlet,” a melancholy composed of many simples, which renders him and his ■ little, family- an objgct.of peculiar curiosity, • while the strange ups arid downs, the cotrilcal , distresses, tlie pathetic humor of the situation into which he is constantly thrown, furnish an i interesting commentary On human life. • . .YoU will see from the foregoing feeble I attempt at moralizing that I have just come thrbugti a' little experience ofthekind. In j . fact;' 1 haVe hCen ’for som6 time a member of one of tlie numerous troupes that are now gyrating round the suburbs of tlie great me ■ ■ tropolis. We were a dctaclimeut of a brilliant company which had delighted great and fash ionable. audiences in the city. But troubles hayipg arisen in tlm management,.wo seceded from the patent stem, and went oil' “on our ear” to astonish the rustics of the Northwest. • Of course, our' company was the very ! best that could lie got together, and , we have succeeded in persuading the .test critics of every, village we visited that : the tragdey oillainkt was never before per- I formed so brilliantly with so limited a stock of j talent. But the rural populations; are not to ! he relied on. They understand tlie principles f of deadheading eveiVbetter than tlie people of j Chicago?anil that is saying a great deal. They I fleece us uiunercifidly at the hotels, drag us. I into all Kinds of expensive con vivialities, charge"• enormous rents, for tlie dingiest halls, and then j send, their young ones to peep at us through' a i cr»ck in the wall. The kind of notoriety to | whicli we are -subjected is thus flattering; but ji ruinous. We get ahead at one town, and we I; go a hundred dollars below zero at the next, li , Orir manager; hbwev&y is a humorous kind I ol fellow* and he bears, all these whips arid | sprirt of fortune, with remarkable fortitude: I I am afraid bis experience as a nwuaigteVljas f sadly shaken his faith ini the inteliigencerSTOt' I the great public which ,he hypocritically ' pro i. fesses t 6 honor. The mariner in which he - has sometimes liociissed the unsuspecting !| - rustics! for' the sake of getting-evep i _.vyitk li them, has really, shocked me on several oc i casions. ' : '0 . 0 ■ * The other weea we came to a .flourishing , village—or so we were made to believe it was : >—and‘advertised our show by all the devices ; known to puffery. It was of no avail.. The i citizens could not muster over ten paying ; auditors per night. Our enterprising manager, . in despair, announced that, on tlie last perfor • malice of tlie season lie would pay every man ‘ seventy-five cents who should pay liis 7 fifty cents, for admission. Naturally, there was a mighty, comtnotibri in the,.vjllage, and „tlie prospects fora iarinumng houietliat night #*re immense. Knowing too well the condition of our finances, we trembjed not a little at tiie re sult. But we got out df the scrape neatly after all. Just an hour before tiie performance tiie manager announced togreat reduction itl prices —twenty-five cents dll over the bouse, and re served seats fifty cents.. . Tiie house wa9 crammed, all biit Die reserved seats, which were occupied by one nian. ; The best of the -joke was tliat the audience never suspected tiie trick, but sat in expcctation of some grand dis comfiture to the manager, till the man who bad expended .fifty- ceiit-S? was invitfed to conje for ward and receive ids reward. 1 Webave'bCensojournlng at Eig ly, A rid onr experiences of that delightful town ’ liave been such -a§ to raise, my ideas of the estate of intellectual 'culture existing amoiig thc'people to a high degree. They want all , the novelties of the season,; Arid we gave them all they ■could swallow. Weplayed Ireland asdt -Was, and called it Under the Gaslight, and it,proved a great success. Next evening we announced the Sea of Ice, with all the Hew and gorgeous scenery arid. macli|npry from Wooti’.s.Sluseum, which'fairly took iliem by storm'. Three, yards of white muslin was the principal part of* 1 our outlay. • . i,; . ■ - .“What’s in a name?” xntised our' manager, encouraged by the success of these experiments. And so next evening we, annotuiced : .Fomosa. But as we had. .omitted to procure a copy of, that fascinating play we fell back upon , Camille, who did good service under tiie nom de. plume of lliss Boker, and tile audience went away perfectly satisfied that they had seen the wick edest and most popular play of the season. The only material change made in the drama was to marry Camille to Arrnand instead of killing her. For all tjiat, however, and in spite of the generosity which; prompted ,us to let in ail the boys who hung longingly around the doors and peered in at us through chinks in the wall, or climbed ladders to get a peeji’ through the back windows, I am afraid our board-bills at the Wayerly House went ahead of'our receipts. We determined to retrieve biir fortunes by the last crowning effort, and so we announced JTamfet, with Ed win Booth in the title role. This was a daring “draw” on the credulity of the citizens, but it seemed to take, and we had every prospect of a good house. But a misunderstanding arose between Hamlet and, the Queen, and lier Ma jesty went off in the afternoon to Chicago. There was not another Quepn to be' had for love or money. The majority of the company viewed the situation rather philosophically. Laertes declared that for liis part lie could get along very well without the Queen, she had nothing to say to him anyhow. I’olonius, Osric, Horatio, and even the King, did not feel particularly embarrassed on the subject. But what’s a man without a mother ? I have heard of tiie tragedy of Hamlet with the part of “Hamlet” omitted; but I do not believe it could be more unpromising than Ilamlet with out a Queen. Nevertheless, we (lid it, and we came of!' in triumph, with the plaudits of the people rising in our ears. It would have puz zled Edwin ■ Booth,. I think, to accomplish j ’what bur “Hamlet” did. It would puzzle me f quite as much to tell bow he did it. But he ; did. lie got old “Polonius” to put in a re- j mark here and there, and sometimes he drew on Ophelia, when that Lady was present. He went through' the entire closet scene with the j ghost of a father and without even the phantom 1 of mother. Tiie ghost himself seemed to be tickled at the absurdity of the situation, and ; in the speech in which be tells Hamlet to step j ■between her and her fighting soul, be added in 1 bis most sepuleiiral tone, “Speak to her, Ham- j let; she feels bad.” | On the whole, I think we have done some thing original in the way of Hamlet, and. the good people don’t seem to appreciate it. They paid their money and they ail;went home well pleased. We" are off to a new pasture" to-mor row, and 1 may soon liave another chapter of' dramatic history to chronicle for the “World of Amusement.” Fakii;. l£v«ifng Bulletin. H ASTSPOBT.
