As for the opera, it was a pastime for gods and grandees. There was a splendid constellation of lyric stars to be seen almost any night--Patti, Titiens, Nilsson, Thalberg, Alabni--but their notes were worth their number in pearls. One night we snatched a costly pleasure, "the freedom of paradise in a box," and were thrilled and uplifted by the divine singing and glorious passion of Patti in the "Huguenots." One night we squaudered on "The American Cousin"--which we had seen or heard of everywhere in America for the last ten years--which is always dreary but never done--I mean the Yankee part, the melancholy caricature of <em>Asa Trenchard</em>. As for the titled idiot of the piece, with his preposterous coats, his proverbs, his eyeglass, and his spring-halt, I confess he makes me laugh, and laugh, and despise myself while I laugh. <div style="text-align: center;">HENRY IRING AS HAMLET</div> At the Lyceum we saw the new popular representative of "Hamlet," Henry Irving, in one of the last of his 200 consecutive performances of that character. In creating a great sensation in London, this gentleman has equaled in his way, Edward Irving, the preacher, who was a fine actor in the pulpit, while this actor seems like a preacher on the stage; at flesh, at least, he having a grave and austere countenance, a thin and angular figure, and a voice at times sepulchral in its solemnity. There is extraordinary power in the man, doubtless--thousands of admiring voices attest it; but I must say that he did not powerfully move me, except in one or two points, which were evidently not among his conscious and premediated <em>tours de force</em>. He is less formal than Booth, less melodramatic than Fetcher, but he lacks the princely dignity of the one, and the great reserves of passion of the other.
