Uwln Forreat'* Peculiarities. NEW TO-DAY MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS [Ben: lerley P<mre.] Edwin Forrost played an engagement at Washington in January, 1871. and large audiences went to see him, partly out of curiosity and partly to compare him with younger tragedians. Although well advanced in the autumn of life, he appeared somewhat as he had a quarter of a century before. He was a heavy, imposing man, of large stature, a good head, deeply engraved features, a car riage of dignity, and that great voice, like the musical roll of a bass drum, which in its softer tones was exquisite, and in its highest compass was like a lion’s roar. He was older, and he showed it in his legs, with their lumpy and set muscles, desti tute of the roundness of youth, in the heavy eyes, the smile which he appeared to lift to his face with as much labor as the drawing of cold water from a deep well, the easy adaptability with which he assumed aged parts and his utter failure to simulate youth. The defects of Mr. Forrest were those incurable traits and mannerisms, partly inseparable from his o'er-ample phys ique. and partly acquired in those years of. his fame when the pit oc cupied the place of the present orches tra floor. Some of these were the work ing of his jaw to express rage: the particular malignity of his smile when there was no special occasion for any thing lurid; the quaint sotto vooe way he had on the eve of action, of mutter ing his sentences at running speed, and the long, yelling in ter jective: “Ha-aw-a- a-aw-a.” with which, after copious rhet oric, he flung himself toward the flies, to etpress sorrow. He was truly sweet, and also very grand in the quieter places, where his huge voice, strength and countenance were let down to our more average humanity, and his roar became a grateful rumble, as if we had been all at once released from a tunnel and were riding along in the open air.
