D1oKrxs IN AMERIoA-Mr Dickens

DICKENS IN AMERIoA.--Mr. Dickens will
read sixty times in this country and in charac-
ter, so that we will have him in Quilp, Samp-
son Brass, Mr.. Pecksnff, Jonas Chuzzlewit,
Montague Tigg, Mr.. Sr.gkins, Mr.. Swiveler,
Mr.. Guppy, and the rest of these amiable crea-
lures who have so delighted the world. He
will hardly appear in his American characters,
namely Mr.. Chollop, General Choke, Mr..
Scadder, Major Pawkins, Colonel Driver, M.
Lafayette Kettle, Mrs. Hominy, and the others
of those bright accidental stars" who shone
over Scadders's Eden, and pointed the way
there, tho precious careful to keep out of it
themselves We would, for our own part,
rather hear Mr.. Dickens read his american
Notes" and those portions of Martin Chuzzle
wit" that relate to us, than anything else that
he ever wrote, they are so clever, and hit so
hard, and often SO justly but the prejudices Of
some others are probably not quite so conquer
able as ours and we shouldn't advise him to
try the american dodge" in American land.
So long as he shall confne himself to the show
ing up of English rogues, he will be very sue.
cessful here, but it would be imprudent were
he to assail the weaknesses of the sovereign
people of the United States. In one of his
works he speaks of "a United States security"
being the type of everything that is utterly
worthless, and that would not be exactly the
best passage to read to Yankee audience, be-
cause they would know that "a United States
security" is the best thing of the kind that was
ever heard of, the national government having
always paid its debts, and rather more than
paid them in full. The words occur in "The
Christmas Carol" one of his best productions,
and which he is especially fond of reading in
public, because he reads it well. He will dc
well to pass it by here.-Boston Travelr.

OLD AGE.-Quite number of old people
have died lately, several of them having COM
pleted century of life. One is nut, enough
112 and upwards, perhsnne. Inc Oldest per-
the thina5r knew was i'll his l0oth year at the
time of his decease, but there are on record
few instances of persons having lived much
longer than that, such as Thomas Parr, Lady
Desmond, (caed emphatically the Old Count
ess of Desmond and others. Some persons
of ancient times were known to have lived
more than a century. Theophrastus died at
1O7, whimpering about the unkindness OF ma
ture in that she should have granted to crows
and stays greater length of days than TO men.
One would have thought that he had no cause
of complaint. Terentia, the first of Cicero,s
wives. is said to have lived to 1903. Accord
ing TO Walckenaer, the reason why the secu-
lar games of Rome were celebrated every ll0
years was the fact that no person lived to that
age ale finds" says Merivale, that IN a pop
ulation of the amount OF that OF the Roman
empire, which he s"pposes to be four tunes
that of France, (2S,i63, 1927 there will be at
any given time sixty-four individuals aged
105, thirty two aged l06, sixteen aged lOi,
eight aged 104, four aged 100, but not one VIII
have arrived at 10. We cannot suppose that
the Etruscans had the means of making such
an induction as this, nor, probably, the capacl-
ty to deduce a law from it." 1t might be ad-
ded, that persons have been known to live be-
yond ITO in populations not a twentieth part
so great as was that of the Roman empire
