A large audience should greet that deservedly popular play by the Enemy," at Dolan's opera house, Feb. 19. It is not too much to say that by the Enemy" is dramatically one of the strongest and most intensely interesting plays before the public. 'The scene is laid in 2 Soutbern city during the war for the Union and the flavor of war incidents and romance render it thrillingly exciting. The author bas been fortunate in so constructing his play that it does not uppeal to sectional prejudice.

but is as popular with the veteran who wore the gray and the one who wore the blue. The necessary love story is well told and futingly developed, and the element of comedy so essential to the success of every drama enters largely into its composition. Few modern plays have been so well adapted to the popular idea as this work of Mr. Gillette's, The company is good without exception, and the piece is given a most artistic representation. This is not the ingenious opinion of the ubiquitous advance agent, but an honest recognition of a worthy play, whose well-earned fume precedes it.

POOR TALKERS. Great Men Who Were Defcient. in Couverentional Power. Many of our greatest men seem to have been singularly deficient in the power of conversation. Even thoso noted for their great wit.

and for the sparkling germs of thought thrown out to an admiring world on. paper, have been so dull and stupid in conversation that those who knew them personally could never understand their right to be called elerer: but wit on puper is a very different thing from wit on the tongue's end. ready to drop off at the owner's will, without time for preparation or remodeling, charming all listeners as much by its spontaneity as by its sparkle. We can scarcely believe when reading overflowing, as it does, with wit and humor, that its author, Entier, was the dullest and most stupid compacion imaginable: Addison, but whose such "classic was That intelligence" charms you. and after whom you have endeavored to model own style, was shy and absent in your soclety.

That La Fontaine is really the author of those witty fubles that you have read and laughed over- -La Fontaine who was almost totally deficient in conversational powers, as though he sold all his thoughts to his publishers. Corneille. the great French dramatist. was so completely lost and embarrassed in society, that he wrote witty couplet on himself to the effect that he was intelligent only through the mouth of another. One of our greatest novelists was so tiresome in society, that a friend said of him: "I must go and read his tales in recompense to myself for the weariness of hearing him converse." Fortunate is he who can so recompense his, friends.

After roaming with Milton through "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained," we are astonished to find that he was unsocial and sarcastic. That Dance was taciturn and satirical we attribute to the fact that Beatrice fitted him. which had the usur land very natural effect of souring his uisposition; hence, we regard his fault with leniency. We are told that Gray seldom talked or smiled. Perhaps talking so little accounts for the deep thoughts embodied in his "Elegy in a Country Churchyard;" and, as for his not smiling.

we forgive him for that mistake when we remember that a man muy smile and smile and be a villain. Melancthon, the contemporary of was so shy and so easily emberrassed that once when attemptingto preach to a large house he further than the text, and kept repeating my sheep." Inther, who, fortunately was at his side, told him to sit down and he would perform his duty for him. He obeyed, and right gladly too, no doubt. We might mention many more grent men who have been wall flowers in the parlor, but who's shone as "bright, particular stars" the library, and the latter being the more endurable, and consequently the more to be envied position, we reserve our pity for those who have greater necessity for itthose of the present duy who may not hope to shine either in parlor or library. -N.
