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.

As an instance of the great age to
which elephants sometimes live, it is
said that when Alexander the Great
had conquered I’orus, king of India, he
dedicated to the sun a great elephant
which had fought valiantly for the king,
and let him go with this inscription:
And see that your ticket reads via Portland and
