familiar to journalists

death Of Mr.. Dickens. our daily exchanges with

laudations 10 a couple Of days the more dis
tant dailies came along with similar regrets and
laudations a few days after, came the weekles
still few days later, the illustrated and literary
papers following them, the g New York Cor
respondents " Of country papers, ail Of whom
were his intimate friends and cOufdants all
bearing the same burden Of sorrow and discus
sion of mis- worth. We have yet to receive the
Monthlies, which will be succeeded by the An
nuAls. and the subject will die away in the Ea-

is not an orange or a cocoanut Assured that
he has the genuine article, he then vinks once
