Dickens Visit to America,


A writer to the Toledo Commercial,
in letter from Now York, gives the
following in regard to the second
coming of Charles Dickens ul
Dickens is coming to America in
December to give series of readings
from his own works. lie proposes
coming to us, for his health and would
like to make expenses. Therefore he
will read, and one Of the New York
Journals promises him S250,000 net
proceeds. Mr.. Dickens has already
been told by number Of our daily
prin.s that hewill find things changed
somewhat since his former visit, only
twonty.six years since. IL was, we
believe, on the 22nd Of January,
1912.
Mr.. Dickens will receive hearty
welcome from his American readers.
Fluukeydom, which rushed pell-mell
to the entertainments given him, were
greatly offended at his "American
Notes . but those notes and the cx-
pericnce Of Martin Chuszlewit in
America, are simply pieces of faithful
description. The age is indebted to
him for pictures Of a world almost
unknown before no revealed 1t; for
showing, aao " the dark streets aud
Police courts of London, beautiful
lines, interviewer with the morally
ugly and for turning the attention Of
! British law makers to that class which
Hugo names ole Miserable" " From
these beautiful creations Of Chatlcs
Dickens, arises in thousands of hearts
the faith that down among the depths
which he has revealed to us, the
Great Hand is at work, weaving of
that warp oroyiI aud woof Of good,
some beautiful fabric for tho adorn.
mcnt Of Heaven. Welcome, then, to
the great advocate, who pleads the
cause Of the wretehed at the bar OF
mankind.

Democratic Literature.


Almost every Domoeratic paper
throughout the country is putting a
Democratic magazine called The Old
Guard" and urging Democrats to
subscribe for it for the reason that il
is the only genuine Democratic mag
izcuc now Published in this country.
Former numbers have contained en-
cravings Of Davis Lee, Jackson,
Albert Sidney johnson, and other
leading traitors as the Gods Of the
party. The reading in the Demo
cratic magazine may be Judged by the
following extract from the last mum
bor: .li IH.
"Abraham Lincoln was, withou
doubt, the most fatal man that eve
lived upon this earth, aud in fou
brief years did more evil TO mankinC
than the worst mau that ever liveo
accomplished in lifetime. The
cdnse he led is the most unnatural
hnpious, and sinful that has ever
afflicted the world and the means of
its accomplishment he riiest mos
dishonest, aud deUiiish that cver de
graded orr race, or stained he earth
since time began. On tho contrary,
tho real (though not assumod) cause
led by Jefferson Davis is tho noblest t.
most beuifcont true, and glorious
cause chat men ever battlcd for on
this earth, and the means employed
we're the graudest, most Christian
and chivalrous ever witnessed in the
worlds history"

Beat on ali Sides.


We are told Of man Of family,
who took the base ball fever and
Joined olub. Every time his club
played with any other il was sure TO
be beaten. The players iipally be-
came desperate they accepted a chal-
lengc TO play match game with \
club somewhat younger in years but
older in practice. They'then began
the practice game, playing early and
often, determined to win7-if they
could. The appointed day arrived,
the game was played, and the gentle
man got beat. His wife hadn' heard
her husband talk much Of anything
except base ball for weeks, and
thought the timo had come when he
might be easily cured. A messenger
was promptly on the ground at the
close of the game aud presented tho
defeated man with boauet Oh
beets. On nearing his home, he met
his little boy who came to meet hun
with drum, on which ho was beat
ing mournful march. On going to
the supper table he. was given a cup
of beet tea. Every covered dish con
tanned nothing but bects. The gen
tlcman gave up beat, and don't even
mention the name of base ball any
more. .. f- r
We extend the right hand Of fell
lowship to that man. We've been

Geographical Puzzle,

One morning when the air was ono
of the divisions of South America l
took n walk up street, and the fist
thing that arrested my attention was
y cape Of North America having a
division of Europe and cape of the
United States with a division Of
Africa trying to purchase it, when a
river of South America came and in
terruptcd. This insulted a river Of
Europe, who picked up historical
river of the United States, and was
aboutt to throw, when a cape Of New
foundland came and with kind words
dispersed tho crowd. Leaving this
somewhat exciting scene, | went W
the street and was soon passed by AZ
island Of 0ceanica, carrying in one
hand groupo of islands from of The
coast Of Africa, and in the other I
basket which contained river o
Africa, a cape Of the United States

Europe, and q bottle containing al

upon two occasions; once when he

plan Of attack, Halleck poohpooed il

manner. The former made no reply

STUDENTS HoME.-Sometimc ago
tract of land, near TifIin, was pur-
chased from Wm. Hunter for S2,2S0
to be used for the purpose of Stu
dents Home, in connection with
Heidelberg College and the Thcolog'
ical Seminary. 1t was the intention
to erect upon this land suitable
building for that purposc, and the
main building has been completed.
Mr. john Weist, We arc Informed,
Who is prominent member of the
German Reform Church in Phila-
dclphia, hearing of the matter, has
generously assumed the payment of
the whole debt. He has heretofore
given to the College $1,000, and tc
the Theological Seminary $500, urd
besides was largely instrumental il
paying a debt of $1,000 against tho
college during the past year. HI
has thus contributed at times over
$4,000. Such friends to learning ar,
very scarce, and when they come t.
the surface, deserve more than pass
ing notice.
