OvResteemed contemporary, the Tribune, is nothing if not esthetic; its dramatic criti- cisms are very little if not intelligible. Of we can understand how the scribe of ibune, with his impassioned soul soar- ing into the infinite, and his poetic wings beating against the verbal wires of the of language, must be hampered by the neces- sity of putting his maunderings into words 1. It would be so much easier and so. much more natural to swoon in an ecstacy of transcendental delirium, and express the sublimity of thought by a row of dashes and asterisks—and, to tell the truth, it would be quite as intelligible. Sometimes the 7rib- une’s passion-pulverizing paragrapher gets hold of a really congeni F ibject, and then he is up in the clouds in an instant like a balloon when you cut the guy-ropes.
