CHARLES DICKENS.

Thousands of pens have done honor
to the memory of the great novelist in
the last few days, while millions of
hearts have been wrung with sorrow
both hearty and heartfelt. A wave of
grief has surged across the universal
world. 1t left scarcely one human heart
untouched. There is no author who
lives, there is no other one who is dead,
whose works are so widely read, and so
universally admired and loved. He was
born an Englishman, but so comprehen-
sively sympathetic was his own great
heart with the whole human race, and
so capable of touching those humane
chords,which give forth response from
every human breast, that he belonged
to the common brotherhood of man,
rather than to any particular country or
nationality. Perhaps he was loved most
of all by Americans. His own country
men gave him only tardy acknowledge
ment of his great genius. He was not
popular with his Queen. He was held in
no high estimation by many lords and
ladies of his realm. True, his reputa-
ton was rapidly increasing with this
class; but so welded 10 their faults and
wrongs were they, which he so Justly
but so constantly rebuked, that they
found it difficult to accept him. Yet it
can truly be said that with the great
body of the English people, for whom
he more particularly wrote, no name
win be dearer or held in more lasting
or moro grateful remembrance than
that of Charles Dickens. His books
were the pictures of humble life. He
was the friend of the poor, the starved,
the. ragged, the abused, the distressed.
He struck deadly and unerringblows al
injustice and crime wherever enthroned.
For this he was probably especially en-
deared to our own countrymen. This
no doubt explains the reason why he
was more universally loved in this
country than in his own. This feature
in his writings called forth as much
praise from the high as from the lowly
in America in England it begot him
many enemies from among the aristoc-
racy.
In the field of humor, as well as in
that of tender pathos, his equal was
hard to find. The author of old Mr..
Weller and his son Sammy OF Man

ONE AHEAD.

The great defaulter, j. Speer-"hon-
est" John, has been trying to joke away
his defalcation. When informed by the
United States Attorney that balance
of S159, 900 was found against him, and
that he must fix the matter up, he wrote
an excessively funny reply. But here is
an instance when one of the men whom
he retaliated upon by q joke, got little
ahead of him. Geo. A. Crawford is
one of. the editors of the Fort Scott
Daily Monitor, and is too much for
''honest" John. Go up head, George.
A man from Southern Kansas came
into our biadery yesterday, with an
immense bundle under his arm, and
wanted to know if we bound books.
Certainly replied our polite foreman,
sin any form. What is the nature of
your work 2" "Here it is" said the en-
terprising man. cit contains full and
complete letters of Geo. A. Crawford,

ernor ever since 1851" He finally con-
tracted to have it put up in two volumes,

That is a very nice story, John. But
there is book already bound, from the

and we would advise 'Fthat man from
Southern Kansas" to wait for a more
propitious season for the publication OF
his book. This digest was the result OF
four years hard labor, and was bound
by the United States at cost of one
hundred and SIXTY thousand dollars!
We believe there is but one copy OF
"Speer's Digest" extant, and George T.

THE INCOME TAX.

The House of Representatives, short
time since, passed bill reducing the
rate of the income tax from five to
three per cent, and increasing the ex-
emption from 81 900 to 1000. This tax
last year brought the Government about
thirty-six millions of dollars. If the
House bill becomes a law, the tax will
be worth about eleven millions. This
is very large reduction, and if it were
deemed best that this tax should be kept
alive, it would probably be more ac-
ceptable to the people as amended by
the House than in its original form.
But as the law which broughtit into be-
ing expires by limitation the present
year. and as there are special reasons
why this tax should be allowed to die,
we look upon the House bill as extreme
ly Hnwise. 1t provides for the renewal
of the tax without limitation, so that it
would, although in an improved shape,
become permanent part of our reye-
nue. system. To this we believe the peo-
pie are prepared to most heartily pro-
test. 1t is a war tax, created in the time
of war, for n peculiar emergency, in
tended to last just SO long and no longer
than that emergency itself should last.
The war has ceased; the tax also should
b ecome extinct. The, only reason that
can be urged for its continuance is that
it brings into the Treasury certain
amount of money annually. Against
its longer continuance great many OBJ
jections may with. reason be urged. Be
sides being more obnoxious than ANY
other on account of its inquisitorial ma
ture, compelling every man who pays il
to announce to the public the amount OF
his private earnings, it is from its very
character unjust in the extreme. 1t
eompels the man who is working on a
salary, and whose income, say, is $1,000,
but whose necessities and misfortunes
are such as TO compel him to spend ev-
cry dollar of it, pay the same amount
of tax as the land owner whose income
from rents and other sources is 5000,
and who is so situated as TO be able to
save nearly the whole Of It, The tax,
in the one case, takes a percentage OF
what the tax payer has, and in the other
of Whit he has not. One man gets the
income by the use Of his head, another

talini, and wilkins Micawber, of
Dick SwiVeller, and Joseph Bagstock,
with host of others, was certainly no
ordinary humorist. His ability to cause
ones sides 10 shake with laughter on
one page and on the next to cause ones
heart to break with sobs, was never
equaled.
Mr.. Dickens made two visits to this
country. To his first visit in 1S4l we
are indebted for american Notes" and
'sMartin Chuzzlewit.' He exposed our
follies and portrayed our faults with
the most scathing satire, for which we
then felt like giving him no thanks, and
he was assured OF this in the most
positive manner. But having outgrown
our foibles, which were only too justly
pointed out, we look back now in won
der that we should have so emphatically
protested against the "gross injustice. /"
We now feel grateful to him for derid-
ing our absurdities in the same spirit
in which he exposed the shams and
follies of his own people.
Death, at last, of which he so fire.
quently and so pathetically spoke, has
borne his great spirit away. Who now
can open '.Old Curiosity Shop" and
listen while he describes the death of
little Nell, and not feel throbbing in his
breast more tender emotions than ever
before? How beautiful this closing
passage in the story of the little wan
derer: 'FWhen death strikes down the
innocent and young, for every fragile
form from which he lets the painting
spirit free, a hundred virtues rise in
shapes of mercy, charity and love, to
walk the world and bless it. In the
destroyer's steps there spring up bright
creations that defy his power, and his
dark path becomes way of light to
heaven" We shall ever love the men,
DRY of Charles Dickens, and teach our
children to love it, and to keepit green,
if for no other reason than because he
wrote such words as these: "And Paul
Dombey, from his little bed is saying,
4 hear the rushing river; it is bearing
me away, think, and the light above
mYmothef's head is shining on me as

THE M, X. & t. RAILROAD.

The last spike on this road, in Kan
sas, was driven by Manager r. S. Ste
vens q few days ago, and the first spike
across the line in the Indian territory
was driven by Col. Boudinot, Chero-
kee Indian. Trains are now running to
the Cherokee Nationl The road is
graded nfteen or twenty miles into the
Indian country. We call that business!
Nearly two hundred miles of railroad
built in little over year! The race
between Joy and Stevens to get to the
State line has been won by Stevens, and
Joy has been scooped! The great Rail-
road King has been headed off and nom
plussed by a new man. Bob Stevens is
now the Railroad King. The beauty
of this all is that the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas formerly Union Pacific, South
ern Branch) road will be, in all proba-
bility, the great trunk line to the Gulf
People up about Lawrence and Leaven-
worth who used to smile when the
building of this road was talked of, can
now realize what they smiled about.
The fact is, the building of this road is
the wonder of the age.
This road was first provided with a
grant of land in Lanes Kansas railroad
system, as q branch road to run from
where the Atchison, Topeka s. Santa Fe
road would cross the Neosho river (then
intended to be at Council Grove to
where the Leavenworth, Lawrence 81
Galveston road should cross said stream.
The bill was afterwards changed so as
to make Emporia the point at which the
A, T. s. S. f. road should cross the Ne
osho, and, through the influence of citi-
zens of Emporia, the branch, as it was
then called, was extended to an inter-
section with the Kansas Pacific road at
-or near Fort Riley, and given an addi-
tional grant of land.
A lot of earnest, hard working Neo-
sho Valley men took hold of the enter
prise with view of making it distinct
and grand trunk road to the Gulf. At
ter years of hard work they succeeded,
and now they have their reward. One
thing is about settled: this road goes
ITO the Gulf. 1t viii soon have two very
important eastern connections /; one via
Sedalia and Ft. Scott, and the other
from Holden, via Paola and Ottawa, to
Emporia. 1t is also to be extended
from Junction City to an intersection
with the Union Pacific at Fit. Kearney
or some other point. Then it will be
the great thoroughfare for Central and
Southern Kansas, and all the South
western States, to the mountains and
Pacific coast. Then it will be the great
est road in the West! Then It will be
what its projectors and builders have
always intended it shonld be. Passen-
gers from the mountains and Pacific
slope will change cars at Kearney for
New Orleans and Liverpool! Hurrah
for Goss and Bob Stevens! Hurrah for
the noble and enthusiastic eastern CAPT.
talists who built the road Hurrah fol
the people of the Neosho Valley who
have lent the helping hand and given
this enterprise all the assistance in their
power from its inceptioni Will the
gentleman from Galveston pass the
fresh oranges, while the fellow from
the snowy range dishes out the ice
cream?

by the labor of his hands, another in
both ways, another by the investment of
capital, another from capital and labor
combined; and while the income tax
which every one of these classes shall be
compelled to pay may be the same, 1t
would prove grievous burden to some,
while to others it would not be felt. A
man worth $4,000 may have the same
income that the man has who is worth
only thousand, or even nothing at all
We suppose there is more harm done in
one year in the way of lying, by return
ing incorrect incomes than all the good
to the Government that might be deriv-
ed from the tax in decade. We hope
when this bill reaches the Senate it viii
be defeated, and the law as originally
adopted be allowed to stand, and to thus
expire by its own limitation.
