WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22,1888.
Dickens, the. Render.
Frol what, we consider good authority, we
hoar that 011AELES DICKENS will certainly re
visit this country in the spring. His lecturing,
or rather rending tour through the United
Kingdom has hitherto been extremely lucra-
tive, and ho calculates on equal success here.
There is no doubt that he weirld draw very
large audiences, in many populous places, for
Dimas, whatever his faults, is ono of the
greatest writers of his time, and undoubtedly
the most genial. Aci an author be has some
shortcomings. For example, (like GEORGE
GRDIKESIANK, the humorist, who is sometimes
libelled by being designated cc caricaturist,")
he has almost invariably failed in drawing
what WORDSWORTH calls " a perfect wo
man, nobly planned." His females are al
'most invariably- failures. When he does
give us any thing better than a mere namby
pamby,' bread-and-butter-eaptig:Aihis k el, he
makes an ,extivagance or her.:XaneY Sykes,
and Charlotte, in "Oliver
"Twist;" Mrs.
Nickleby, and a very few- others stand ont
thus 'strongly 'marked.' But; for the most
part, his women are dreadfully, common
place. • •
In this respect Mr. THAOKERAy resembles
Boz"—with thii exception, that he does not
attemptmuch, whereas DICKENS does. TRACK.:
ERA; has but one idea of a female character—
at least of a-feminine beau-ideal, and we had
her,' first of all, in 'cc Vanity Fair," as immor
tal Becky Sharp, that shrewd, knowing,
somewhat scampish, self-possessed, farseeing
woman of the world, who seems never to have
enjoyed any of the amenities of Childhood,
but to have been an intrigante almost fromher
ThOse sharp features, those' yellow
-looks, those grey-green eyes, that quick, feline
intiinuating address are, Becky
ind'THAOHERAY; who is 'very much
in' love:With his own productions,:reibroduces'
this - typetwhenever he wants a heroine.' Not
so did Sborr, in his immortal Waverley Novels,
which, we are delighted to know, are as much
read as ever—a tiontid indication of healthy
taste this new-blossoming of Scores populari
ty is. Ibt so does' BuLwan, whose romances
are crowded with fine womanly creations, each
admirably individualized. Above all, not so
did the multo•minded and immortal Smut-
SPEARS. The inability to produce good female
characters in - their writings undoubtedly is a
drawback to the literary merit of ammo
and TnAexzitAv.
• We have been asked, more than once, of
late, what peculiarity there is in DICKENS'S
reading his own compositions, to induce
crowds to go and hear-him ? A decided pecu
liarity there is, but the greatest inducement,
perhaps, is to see the author. Cnearms
DICKENS is not a very old man—he will com•
plate his forty-seventh year in February—but
he is comparatively an old author, having
commenced his career and his popularity in
1886. A man who has been for nearly twenty
three years before the public, as, all things
comparatively considered, the most popular
writer of his age, is ono whom the patient
public delight to see. They have a natural
desire to see, in the body, that author whom
they have known so long and so well in the
aplrit. Thouiands, and tens of thousands, all
4:4yer his native land; aro personally grateful,
;`
• •rbirs — of Tntellectuar enjoyment his
writings have made for them. Hence, when
-he comes to their respective localities, they
eagerly rush to see him, and will do so the
more gladly, when, at tho same time, they
can also hear him road one of the productions
which have charmed them.
In truth, as we have been informed by those
who have attended his public exhibitions, as
the English journals tell us, and as we can
readily believe, from recollection of his per
formances as an amateur-actor, and of his
occasional readings of a few pages, chiefly
from SCOTT'S novels, in private, CHARLES
DICKENS is an admirable reader. He was not
schooled and drilled into this perfection by
any "Professor of Elocution," with rising
and falling inflections, and that childish hum
bug of particular systems. Humans reads
well;because he has a tine voice, a natural
manner, a native grace, a clear perception,
and a thorough knowledge of what he reads.
Gift any human being with such qualifications,
and he can scarcely fail to read well, though
ho may not do so In the ore rotundo man
ner which instructora so often insist upon
as requisite. He does not mouth nor
spout, but reads intelligently and intel
ligibly, and points the meaning of particu
lar passages with natural inflections of the
voice, with quick glance of the eye, wish a
motion of the hand or body. He varies his
intonation, too, adapting hie voice not only to
the variations made necessary by the dialogue,
but to the sentiment of each passage, whether
grave or gay. His readings, heretofore, have
been limited to his Christmas Stories, to the
pathetic history of Little Nell, condensed from
'The Old Curiosity Shop," and to tho touching
record of poor little Paul Dombey's brief ex
perience in life, with the saddening sound of
the restless and uncertain billows ever mur
muring in his ears. It is as difficult, we are
told, (and can well believe,) to refrain from
tears as well as smiles, at these DICKENS' read-,
ings. He has the true w spell o'er hearts'
which the poet declared to bo the glory of
noble acting, and he sways the minds of those
who hoar him, in a manner which nothing less
than Genius could attain.
Indeed, if CHARLES DICKENS had not been
a great Author, he must have been a leading
Actor. He has that Varying power of expres
sion which is only described by the French
word mobiliti—a power of adapting his fea
tures to the passion of the scene, whatever
that may be. Voice, figure, and action are
good. His performances, at the amateur plays
got up for the benefit of that bubble cc The
Guild of Literature and Art," (long since
burst, like other vanity.blown bubbles,) were
surprisingly good. There never was a better
Captain Bobadil, and, in Bex,wErt's drama
"Not so bad as we Seem," the principal part
was played by DICKENS, in a manner which
few established actors of the highest repute,
now upon the stage, could have surpassed. It
was ono of the most difficult characters too,
for it involved the appearance ofthe performer,
not only in his own part, but in an assumed
semblance of Edward Curl, the famous biblio
pole of the Augustan age of British literature.
Our readers may now have some idea of
what sort of readings they have to expect
from CHARLES DICKENS, should he be so
courageous as to venture back to this country.
What manner of reception he shall have is
scarcely a subject to speculate upon at present.
Whatever his demerits towards the American
people, whom he treated at once ungratefully
and ungraciously, we do not think that they
will be remembered against him, in any very
marked manner; to his detriment. And this
we believe is simply because our people, if
impressed with a recollection of the ill return
he made for all the kindness which they lite
rally heaped upon him, are also impressed
with a sense of what is duo to the manly dig
nity of their own personal character. They
will probably crowd to hear Dzonom's Read
ings, out of curiosity, but will not exhibit any
of that warm feeling towards himself which
was so abundantly, overfiowingly poured out
upon him when ho visited this country,
seventeen years ago.
It is only proper that Mr. DICKENS should
distinctly understand what his relations to his
audiences here will be, should he return hither.
Almost a new generation has sprung up, all
over this country, since DICKENS was here
before. Our young people, and many of their
seniors, will be glad to see, to listen to, the
celebrated writer who, though he laughed at
us in "American Notes," and maliciously
libelled us in " Martin Chuzelewit," yet has
contributed more to the Intellectual Fratidee
tion of the masses than any other author now
living. Very few, oven of oar literati, will
extend the right hand of fellowship to DICK.
ENS. This he should be prepared for.
It is singular that THACKERAY, who, by no
means, is a genial man, should personally have
many warm friends in this country, while
Dioxxxs,who really is full of hearty geniality,
and is, also, extremely unselfish, will 'scarcely
flndoneman here who would warmly give him
a hand-clasp, 'and cherish hini fn a his heart
of heart." The difference in manner may
probably account, to some extent, for this.
But it is a curious fact, whatever it may arise
from.
[For The Press.
To the Members of the City Councils.
GENTLEMEN: I have read your ordinance,
changing the names of oortain streets, lanes, 4t0.,
in the oity of Philadelphia. The preparation of it
must have been a work of much labor and some
delicacy; but, altogether, it will be 'unlit and
acceptable It could not, however, have been ex.
rooted that the ordinance would be faultless, or
that there would be no instanoe of oversight: on
the contrary, merits or defects are only to be die-
covered by discussion and praotioe. For my own
part, I have particularly
,coesidered, one , only. cf.
the changes, and I respectfully offer som -of my
reasons for finding fault 74010._ ,
It seems that the praotloo .of calling , several
streets, places, &0., by the same name,, his caused
muob confusion and uncertainty as to tia t e actual
residences of our citizens, especially on,the part of
strangers; and, therefore, it has been considered
necessary that no two or more of our streets,
places, Ao., shall severally have the same name.
The propriety of
.auati a change, at least as a
general rule, cannot be questioned.
At the same time, I think, it must be ceneeded,
that when the names of two streets, for instance,
are the same, and one of them is to be altered, that
one of the streets, which has been most useful and
longest known, should retain its former designs;
Um. And I also think, when one of several
streets is to retain the former name, that one of
them should bear it which has peouliar character
istics or antecedents.
Allow me respectfully to apply these Observa
tions to one of the changes - which you have made,
Franklin,plaoe; south of, Market street,
above Third street, and Hudson's . alley, 'smith of
Chestnut street, above Third street, hereafter to
be called Hudson street..
1. Why should this change be made? If I
truly understand your ordinance, there ire only
two places named "Franklin place" within the•
bounds of the new city; 'one of them is near Coates
street, and the other is the venerable Franklin
place, south of Market street, between Third and'
Fourth streets. Your ordinance, gentlemen, has
substituted the name 44 Franconia place" for the
name "Franklin plate," near Coates street; so
that, I presume, your reason for making a change
in - name no longer applies to "Franklin'plaoe,"
near Market street—that is, there is, as there has
been in the olden'time, but one "Franklin place,"
and there can be no mistake in regard to it.
2. But, even if you bad not substituted 'Franco
nia for Franklin,
,as to the place near Coates
street, I think yon onghtnot to have expunged the
name of the old and well-known "Franklin
place" in the heart of the old city. The . two
"places," if existing under the name Franklin,
would have been about two miles apart from each
other, and there could be no uncertainty even on
the part of strangers. Bat the remote and the
obscure place near Coates street, yo'n hive
honored with the new name 44 Franoonia:place,"
and have dropped altogether the name "F.ank—
lin
,place," known to past generations as well as
to ourselves. Why?
3. I have said that when two places are called
by the same name, that one of them should retain
the ancient name which has peculiar oharaoteris;
ties or artGiedents; so that, even if you had not
substituted "Franconia" for "Franklin" place,
near Coates street, you ought, in my opinion, to
have retained the ancient name "Franklin place"
near Market street,. in consideration of its past
WldOh you have not honored as you did the one
near °mime street, with a new and distinct name,
but which you expunged altogether, was the spot
where Benjamin Franklin made his first home,
when, a lad of seventeen, he mime, in 1723, to
Philadelphia. It is the same spot where be mar
ried, where his children and grand•obildrea were
born, and where ho and his admirable wife lived
and died. These interesting facts, gentlemen,
oannot have been remembered by you.
4. While Dr. Franklin lived, (see first page of
his will,) and for about thirty years after his de
cease, the premises occupied by him were called
and well known as Franklin court. When his do
soendants Came Into possession, they improved the
property at great cost, and opened the Franklin
court for public use, without any remuneration
from the county treasury. They took care to con
tinue the name " Franklin court" while there
was not a thoroughfare into Chestnut street; but,
as soon as that was opened, all the parties inter
ested adopted the name " Franklin place."
ti. " Franklin place," thus opened to the public,
is the only thoroughfare in one of the most valua
ble squares In Philadelphia, bounded by Market
street and Chestnut street, and by Third and Fourth
streets; through the interior part of it two car
riages may pass abreast ; there are many house
in It yielding oonsiderable sums for taxes, water
and gas; and, in my disinterested opinion, the day
is not remote when, by openings from Third street
and Fourth street, "Franklin place " will have
business improvements, at least equal to any which
have been made in more obscure localities to the
east and to the west of it.
Why, then, I repeat, should the name " Frank
lin place )' be expunged from the list of streets or
places in Philadelphia? By retaining it there
can be no confusion or uncertainty, but the re
verse, there being but one place of that name.
By retaining it, respect will be shown for the asso
ciations connected with the spat where the Places
is. which ought ever to be regarded by Philadel
phians. Why should those associations be lost
sight of? In short, why should " Hudson street"
be substituted for "Franklin place? " There is,
indeed, an alley called Hudson's alley; and if
there is any reason why the name Hudson should be
honored, pray, gentlemen, let Hudson's alley here
after be called "Hudson street;" but there is no
reason known to me why "Franklin place" and
"Hudson's alley" should be called by the same
name—(l was about to Day why they should bo
united, but that never can be) They cannot
be a unit—they are separated by Chestnut street;
their past history has been, and their future must
be, dissimilar. Pray, gentlemen, compare the
place and the alley impartially and carefully.
1 oan imagine but one suggestion for expunging
the name "Franklin place"—but one considera
tion that can have led to that decision : It may
have been said that Franklin has been honored by
having a square and a street named after him.
As a reply to this, I simply ask why such a bene
factor, as Franklin was to Philadelphia, to Penn
sylvania, to the whole Union, nay, to mankind,
ought not to have a square, a street, and a place
also named after him? Has our own Philadelphia
debt of gratitude to him been paid ? Where
is there any monument to testify to his
services, or to our sense of them ? The
only and the beet monuments to such
a benefactor as he was, are the renowned
hospital, the great library, the Philosophical So
ciety, the nubile schools, the fire insurance compa
nies, and other distinctions and benefits, which he
mainly contributed to establish. But still, no
memorial of the thankfulness of Philadelphians
exists. 15 It too much, then, to ask you, gentle
men, not to expunge the name given . to Franklin's
home, as if posterity had already done enough or
too much? Pray hand down to oar successors
" Franklin place" as we received it, honored as
the spot where Franklin lived and died.

Would it not be appropriate to wrap a few feet

The first American . steamboat was built in
Philadelphia, and plied Successfully week after
week, between this city and Trenton, seventy
three years ago. Our veteran Commodore Charles
Stewart, still bale and hearty, wee a passenger on
one of her tripe. The pivot-board, indispensable
to the speed of sailing vessels, is a Philadelphia
invention. Horizontal canvas for sails, now es
teemed the best, also originated here. The fame of
our ship-builders has extended over the whole met ,
cantile world. Their skill bas contributed ma;
terially to the commercial prosperity and su
premacy of the United States. Ships constructed
here have long been known as orack sailers. Oar
navy yard bas built the finest vessels belonging to
the Government, twelve of them being now in
serviee, two being ships-of-the-line, two frigates,
three sloops-of-war, and four steamers. Within
ten years a single firm in Kensington has built one
hundred and sevon steamers, some of them
first-class vessels for man service. Philadel
phia is in' reality the only port at whioh a
steamship can be suooessfully built.. There
is here a concentration of facilities for the
this business which can be found nowhere else.
We are at the fountain head of cheap coal and

The channel of the Delaware is known to be abun
dantly wide and deep enough to float the largest
vessel In the navy. Within a year past a ship
so large that abe could not enter the port of-New
York, came round 'to Philadelphia,. and found
abundant water .at our wharves. Ourl eaitern,
wharf front alone is three - -miles long. To
be known as a Philadelphia _ meohanio is a
passport to

in the Union. They are taught for and pre
ferred over all others to build rail Way- in.
Russia, Cuba, and South America. All the
cotton of the South is cleaned by Philadelphia
made gins. A Philadelphia built yacht has chal
lenged the world, year after year, without finding
any other city courageous enough to aaoept it.
Even the mile of the world-renowned "America"
and "Maria," the former famous for her triumph
over the English in a contest for the supremacy of
the sus, were made in Philadelphia. The entire
business 'of 'ship and 'boat building of our city
amounts to nearly two millions annually.%•Dull as
the shipping interest bas been for two years past,
we last year built a bundred and forty-mien new
vessels. If ,Congress would but protect the gene
ral industry of the Conntry against the pauper la

and all the kindred arts, would rise instantly with
sympathetio vitality from the sore depressionwhich
now crushes them down.
RECOVERY 'OP - A LOST Powan.—Modern engi
neers have been unable to understand by what
machinery the ancients moved, and elevated into
their places, the ponderous blocks of stone of
which the pyramids andother ancient structures
are composed. The machines which - effeeted this
greatwork have'disappeared from the eartiroon
temporaneously ,with the generations` that em
ployed them. Sonia have supposed - that the me

the vast monuments of engineering genhis which
they have left behind them could not have been
executed. This loot - power,like some of - the lost
arts, has been a subject for deep mialsanical study.

BLAST DRILL FOR TURNIPS: 7 Om turnip crop
of England is of as much importance to the com
munity there as the corn crop is to us. Bat the
crop is subject to destructive attacks from the fly,
the slug, and other depredators, the former being
the most voracious. To destroy these insects a
blast drill has been patented by Mr. Joseph Row
ley, of Sheffield. The common practice of pro
testing the turnip from the fly is by dusting the
row with lime during the night and while the dew
is upon the plant. This operation is difficult, and
imperfectly performed. Besides the slow process
of doing this by hand, the difficulty of dusting the
underside of the plant, as well as the top side, of
fers an insuperable objection to this mode of ap
plying lime, soot, or any other compost to the
young turnip plant. This difficulty is now over
come, and the lime is thrown, by means of a blast
fan, upon every part of the plant, both on ;the up.
per and under side. The fan is put in motion by
the travelling wheels of the drill, and receives its
velocity in the usual manner by gathering wheels •
The blast thus created by the fan is brought to
bear upon the plant, which, yielding to its action,
bends from the current, as it acts upon a falling
stream of lime or other composition the plant be
comes completely covered with the powder.
But this is not the only object the blast drill will
accomplish. The fly, disturbed by a simple con.
trireme, hops away, but is at that moment caught
by a current of air entering the blast fan and in
stantly destroyed, and thrown out again with vie
lance from the vortex into which it had been
drawn. This operation is simple; and the process
of annihilation is similar to that a of mouse or rat
going down a thrashing machine. The fly and
the limo are yet so completely mixed and incor
porated that the mischievous, yet delicate, insects
are destroyed by the atmospheric pressure thrown
upon them, and the plant is also secured, by the
dusting of compost, from all future attacks of the
enemy.
WORT/MR.4E ENGLISII IRON.—Bad as much of
the iron sent to this country is known to be, it
continues to be imported because of its greater
cheapness. For water pipes it has been proved to
be nearly worthless, our own American made pipes
outlasting them very many years. In England
every refuse slag, and all the impure ores, are
melted up into iron for this market by the all-re
duffing agency of the hot-blast furnace. It is thus
that the refuse of all Britain has been steadily
shipped to this country for years past, our specula
ting railroads greedily purchasing it in exchange
for bonds, which frequently turn out equally
worthless, and this is one great reason why the
British iron-master is able to undersell the Ameri
can. Every cinder heap in England is regarded as
so much good iron for America. That English rails
are made of such inferior material has been well
ascertained by melancholy experience among us.
The chief engineer of the Reading Railroad has
proved that on the 60-pound English rail the wear
was from 37 to 47 per cent., while that on the
American was only 12 to 14 per cent. ; the break
age on the English bar was one in 39 to one in 82,
while on the American it was one in 127 to ono in
M. Such an exhibition of utter rottenness may
well be credited when the worthlessness of the
material is known. The =ideate whtoh occur
on our roads from the breaking of rails are now
satisfactorily accounted for. Much English boiler
iron, made in the same disreputable way, is also
imported and need among us. Not a ton of it is
used at home ; it is manufactured expressly for
American consumption.
LOORING-GLASSES.—Them indispensable appli
ances of civilization aro manufactured extensively
in Philadelphia. Not the silvering of the glass,
but the cutting it into suitable sizes, and framing
it. The glass is silvered principally in France and
Germany. The process is one of the most curious
of the modern arts, and is an extremely simple
one. A sheet of tin foil, somewhat larger than
the glass plate, is laid upon a smooth table, and
quicksilver poured over it until the foil 10 covered
with a thickness of a tenth of an inch or more.
All impurities being swept off from the surface of
the mercury, and the glass plate made sorupoloue
ly clean, it is brought even with the edge of the
table, and pushed gently forward sideways, so as
to side ever the mercury bath, its edge jest dipping
beneath its surface, so as to push before it all im
purities, and to exclude all air-bubbles. Weights

drawing off of the superfluous mercury. This re
quires some days or weeks, according to the size
of the plate. There is a constant risk in the whole
process, oven when the greatest oars is practised.
The larger the glass the greater the danger of
breakage and imperfections. Sometimes the amal
gam crystalizes, producing flaws, which require
the operation to be repeated. It is these causes
which make large mirrors so very costly. In ad
dition to this, high wages must be paid to the
workmen, as the mercury produces salivation, de
stroys their health, renders some of them cripples
for years, and prematurely shortens the lives of
all.
A WATER LOOOROTITE.—The very name excites
a smile, just as did the first steamboat and the
first telegraph. but a New York mechanic, de
termined not to be outdone by either, has been
some time engaged in building a water locomotive,

A NOVEL WAY TO CUBE THE TOOTHACHE.—
One day last week one of the colored barbers at
South Boston was visited by a young and respecta
ble-looking white woman, who informed the ton
sorial operator that she was suffering with a severe
toothache, and that she desired his assistance to
cure it. The dark complexioned individual rolled
up his eyes in wild astonishment, and desired to
know how he could relieve her. " Why," said the
woman, !with an attempt at a blush, "I'm told
that a negro's kiss will cure the toothache, and
want you to try it." "I did try it," the barber
said in relating the story, "I kits her lips two,
tree times, and den she go away and no comeback
and say whedder I cure her. Fah ! yah ! I like
more of de same kind of patients."
