EuLoaIEs OF CHARLES DICKENS.

The leading divines of New York city
euogized Charles Dickens IL their sermons
on Sunday last. Rev. DR.. Bellows psid his
respects to Mr.. Beecher. who last Friday
evening asked the question whether Mr..
Dickens was o christian. Mr.. Bellows said
that in these days we had 10 De cautious be
fore asking the question whether men like
Washington, Lincoln, or even Dickens were
christians. II christianity could not hold
such men, other questions still more Difficult,
to answer would be asked.
Rev. Dr. Chaplin rendered an enthusiastic
eulogy TO the memory of Charles Dickens,
whom he regarded as doing the work of the
Redeemer by putting to such noble use the
genius he received from God. His every
work was characteristic OF true charity and
faith in the mercy and goodness of the
wine being.
Rev. DR.. Bellows spoke of Dickens as an
example of christian zeal with knowledge
The works of the great novelist tended to
e1e vate the mind, and create healthy moral
tone. He never exerted his mighty influence
except for good, and his pen was never used
to express an immoral thought.
Rev. 0. B. rockingham referred TO Mr..
Dickens in his sermon, and enlarged on the
treatment due him from MS stesdfast. untir
ing efforts in the elevation of his fellow
creature, and for the christian feeling which
was impaired BY his works.

An Important Decision

A very important case WAS was tried II
the Supreme Court of Ohio, recently, In
which one of the principal questions raised
as to the effect of emitting to put al
internal revenue stamp on written con
tract.
The contract was for 100000 pounds of
brass, and consisted of letter making the
offer of it, and telegram accepting the
offer. There was no stamp on either. Mr.
William Nj. Evarts, who appeared for the
defence, objected to the introduction OF the
letter and telegram, constituting the con
tract on the ground that. being unstsmped,
the contract, under the internal revenue law,
was void. Elk Judge Fullerton, counsel for
the plaintiffs, produced authorities to estab-
lsh that the omission to put stamps on q
contract would not render it void. unless
it was made rcih the intention to defrsud
the government. He then placed the agent
of the plaintiffs, who sent the telegram, on
the stand, and he swore that there was no
intention to defraud the government in
emitting the stamp. DIR. Fullerton next
placed q stamp on the letter, and another
on the telegram, and cancelled them. and
Judge Brady, before whom the trial took
place. then admitted them as evidence. The
Jury then returned verdict for the plaintiffs,
for the full amount claimed.
