The News saws: "When Mr. Dickens left on
his last visit to America we expressed a hope
that he might do service in the cause of peace
and good will. Mr.. Dickens has not resigned

and intimate knowledge of his countrymen
enabled him to express the admiration and
esteem which the Harvard men have earned
for themselves in England. We hope there
will be a return match in America, and feel
confident that Oxford will meet as brotherly
welcome there as Harvard has here. We re-
iOice that our kinsmen are satisfied with the
arrangements Of the race.

trial would involve a strain Of physique and
an interruption of studies which it is not fair
to exact for the qualification of rivalry and
the sporting world. The tandard trusts a
renewal of the contest viii be formally re-
sisted for some years.

The Times, commenting on the crime, re-
CARDS it as a national misfortune. 1t shows
that savage lawlessneSS is extending beyond
the narrow limits to which it has hitherto been
confined. The county of Ma, is now stained
with atrocities which have dsgraced Tippe-
rary and w Westmeath.
