Dickens Will.

On the 10Th of June, at Westminster Abbey
Dean Stanley preached a sermon on Dickens and
his works, at the conclusion of which, he read the
following extract from Mr.. Dickens will, dated
May II, 1869, which will be new to the public,
and will be read with a thrill Of interest and sat
~isfaction
al direct that my name be inscribed in plain
English letters on my tomb.....I enjoin my friends
on no account to make me the subject of any
monument, memorial, or testimonial whatever.
l rest my claim to the remembrance of my coun-
try upon my published works, and the remem-
brance of my friends upon their experience of me
in addition thereto.....I commit my soul to the
mercy of God, through our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ, and 1 exhort my dear children to
try to guide themselves by the teachings of the
New Testament in its broad spirit, and to put no
faith in any mans narrow construction of its
letter. 8 In that simple, but sufficient faith, -
concluded the Dean, 's Charles Dickens lived and
died. In that faith he would have you all live
and die also and if any of you have learnt from
his works the eternal value of generosity, purity,
kindness, and unselfshness, and to carry them
out in action, those are the best monuments,
memorials, and testimonials which you his fell
'low-countrymen. can raise to his memory"
The sermon was listened to with breathless at
tention by that portion of the congregation who,
fortunately had seats in the Sacrarium and under
the Lantern, but very little of it could have
reached the mass of the congregation in the choir
and transepts. The Dean was iaboring under q
severe cold, and it was evidently only with the
greatest difficulty that he was able to deliver his
sermon at all. The sermon was followed by
Handel's well-known and magnificent anthem
from the Book of job, chapter twenty-nine,
{" When the ear heard me, then it blessed me
and when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto
me-" Among the congregation present were
several members of both Houses of Parliament,
some diguitaries of the Church, and a host Of lit
erary celebrities, among whom Mr.. Tennyson at
tracted considerable attention as he sat in the
centre Of the Sacrarlum.

French and German Goods.

The foreign correspondence of the Phila-
delphia importers of French and German
goods complain of the heavy drain upon the
producing classes in consequence of the
demands Of the respective governments for
troops. As an instance, it may be mentioned
that in GrenOble, France, where kid
gloves are manufactured in large quantities,
every available man between eighteen and
forty-five has been drafted into the army,
and the only persons left to do the work are
the old men, the women and children. In
addition, the Discount Bank, i'll which
almost all the manufacturers are interested,
has failed, and it is believed that the supply
of gloves for England and the United States
will be exceedingly short The dyers, fin
ishers, and cutters of gloves have all been
drawn into the French army, and the pros
pect of a full supply of skins is very uncer-
tain, in consequence of the localities where
they are obtained being at present overrun
by the contcnding armies. In the countries
attached to the North German Confedera-
ton, the same scarcity of workmen prevails,
and in addition, the blockade of the ports
has put stop to the direct trade. The
current of business, however, may be di-
verted to Danish, Russian and Austrian
ports, but the increased cost of land carriage
will add to the price of the goods.

But we also find daily in the Democratic

The insults which Democratic papers now

State ex rel. John Dolhonde vs. James
Graham, AuditOr-In this case Acting At
torney General John H. New has filed the
following answer and exceptions:
Now appears James Graham, respondent,
and says:
/. Mandamus does not lie herein. That
the Auditor can notSdraw q warrant on the
Treasurer unless there be funds in the treas
ury of the State that relator made no de-
mand of respondent to draw a warrant on
the Treasurer of the State when there were
funds in the treasury previous to the appli-
cation for the writ of mandamus.
Further, respondent shows: That while
it is his duty to draw warrants on the
treasury of the State, when there are funds,
yet he il vested with discretion in the dis
charge of that duty, in selecting a manner
best calculated for the public interests, and
to secure a fair and proper distribution of
the funds appropriated for any particular
purpose by law; and that in conjunction
With the. Governor of the State and the
Fiscal Agent, the President of the Citizens
Bank, he had devised plan of drawing
warrants according to the dates Of
their issuance by the Board OF Public
Works of its certificates or warrants, and
that in June, 1870, he published nOtitca-
ton to the holders of said certificates or
warrants, that he would proceed to dis
charge the duty imposed on him by draw
ing warrants on the treasury according to
their dates. Represents that such a course
Is indispensable to the administration of his
Ofice-a conclusion demonstrated by ex-
perience.
Respondent denies all the allegations in
rclators petition, etc.
The case came up for trial this morning.
Witnesses were examined in relation to the
facts alleged in the petition, and the case
went oyer.

The Democratic Frcss ana the war.
The New York Tribune translates the fol-
lowing significant article from the st. Louis
Anscigcr dcs Westens, a leading Democratic
journal Of many years service. The facts
stated are patent here, as well as at the
North, but their significance justify re-
production:
With the exception of the Missouri Re
publican and few other rather insignificant
papers, the entire Democratic press in
America has taken side in the present war
for France. This is fact which can not be
de4ed, and which should not be concealed
from the German-Americans. In vain one
seeks for reasons to explain this sympathy
OF the American Democracy with BOnapart
ISM and its victim, the misguided French
reople. As the traditional prediction for
France on account of the support it gave to
the United States in the war of indepen-
dence, as nativistic dislike for the unlOved
German element in America, as, finally.
ignorance and prejudices with regard
to European relations are within the Re-
publican party at least as strong as in the
Democratic party, one might assume that
the sympathy for Germany or France in
both parties must be about equally divided
But this is not so. The overwhelming ma
jority Of Republican papers recognizes the
articles on the war and state Of affairs in
Germany and France which betoken a
thorough knowledge of the subject and in
dependent Judgment, while a majority, Just
rs overwhelming, Of the Democratic papers
of the English language, not only sympa-
thizes with France, but is filled with the
most venomous lies and the greatest abuse
with regard to Germany.
If ignorant American scribblers still in
AL. III hot fno
people, of which fOrty-f per cent can not
read and write, are marching at the head OF
civilization, one might attribute this to their
ignorance of truth. But it is spite, if we
must read in American papers that Bona
parasitic France enjoys more freedom than
Germany, while every reader Of newspapers
ought to know that the contrary is the
case-that for many years the press in Ger
many has been more free than in France;
that the departments of administration and
justice are more honest and better, and that
Germany has more efficient representa-
tiOn of the people than France.
That Germany during the last decennial
has advanced with gigantic steps in its sci
entiic as well as its political life; that in no
country of the world popular education
stands higher, and family life is purer and
better-au this seems to be entirely I'M
known to our American Democrats. 1t is
equally unknown to them that under the
rule of the Bonaparte the decentralization
Of France in political as well as in family
life has made gigantic progress, and that
the iron pressure Of Casarism has paralyzed
all minds, even in the provinces of lit
orature.
Yet why discuss q subject which in fact
has only ono side, and with regard to which
Al unpreiudiced educated men, among them
