Death OF Charles Dickens.

On Friday morning last, a cable
dispatch announced that the great
novelist Charles Dickens, had died
of paralyses the evening previous.
The announcement created quite as
much sorrow and regret on this side
the Atlantic as upon that where he
resided, and the expressions Of re-
gret were as numerous and sincere,
for all realized that great genius
had ceased to exist, and that no
equal lived to succeed him in his
peculiar sphere.
Dickens was in his fifty-ninth
year, since February last. He was
born in Portsmouth. in 1921. De-
signed by his father for an attorney,
he was early placed in lawyers Office
but firing Of its dry details, he gave
up the profession and became a
newspaper reporter. His first not
able performance was series of
sketches Of London Life, over the
signature Of Boz which cognoman
ever after adhered to him. These
sketches were followed by his fam
Gus Pickwick Papers, which are
brimful of humor in its happiest
mood. These were followed by 'Oliver
Twist" 'Nicholas Nickleby," and
the "Old Curiosity Shop" lat
ter one of his finest works. Then
followed American Notes" and his
"Christmas Carroll and Martin
Chuzzlewit," "Dombey d Son."
"David Copperlield, Little Dorret'
Great Expectations Our Mutual
Friend" and recently he commen-
ced "The Mystery of Edwin brood"
which remains unfinished, and no
living author, Of his peculiar ability,
able to finish it. Besides these
works, there were very many Of a
minor character, but all from first to
TO last, were indicative of the great
genius and creative power Of the
writer. No writer has more fear
lessly assailed wrong or exposed in
JuS'ice' or produced SO great an
eject upon the public mind as Dick
ems, and many Of the reforms which
have been worked in England have
been produced from the merciless
castigations of his pen. He was a
writer for the people, by whom his
name will ever be reyered,

nRareIa your RriefI0

The U. 5. Court was IN session at Cleveland
last week, and several Of our Attorneys were
in attendance. One legal gentleman, whom
will call s., who is not of the carpet-bag per-
suasion, did not wish TO be bothered with
valise, but at the same time thought that,
perhaps, he might become engaged III some
dirty work, and, as O precaution, wrapped
some of his fine linen up in newspaper. At
Fremont he met his friend B., who had q
large sized carpet-bag, with little IN 1t, and
asked B. to place his bundle i'll said carpet-bag
and take care Of it till they arrived at Cleve-
land. B. being Of an obliging disposition,
did so, but at the Cleveland depot they became
separated, each going to different hotels. Now,
lthappened that B.also had in the aforesaid car
pet-bag the brief of his friend Jake, also wrap
ped in an old newspaper. The next morning,
Jake came hurriedly up to BIS room, and
asked for the key to the carpet-bag, as his case
was to be called in court at an early hour, and
he wanted his papers. Hastily unlocking the
carpet-bag, he took out bundle and started
for the court room, and had scarcely taken his
seat, when his case was called. Jake was
ready and springing to his feet, commenced:
MAY 1t please your Honor, we are ready to
proceed with the trial, hold in my hand (ut
same time unwrapping his bundle) the necess-
airy papers to acquit my client, and"- He was
interrupted by scarcely suppressed litter, and
saw broad grin even on the face of Judge
VIII. What was the matter? He looked this
way and that, and finally happened to look al

had stated 1raS the necessary document 10 &C.

got the wrong bundle in BIS carpet-bag. We

COMMODORE FOOT AND SISTED

COMMODORE FOOT AND SISTER.
CoNrIoDoRE FooTE AND SISTER are
meeting with a perfect ovation
wherever they go. At many places,
the halls are so thronged that people
are obliged to 60 away without gain
ing admission, and at no time since
they started out have they had what
might be called a slim house. The
New Albany Ledger gives them this
handsome notice:
Co,DIoDoRE FooTE AND SISTERS
TRoUPE-Charles Nestel and Eliza
Nestel opened at the Opera House
last night, and gave a very fine en-
tertainment. Aside from the little
folks which in themselves are the
greatest living curiosity, the enter
tainment was a very pleasing one.
Commodore FOote is fine comedian,
and to use the words of Ophelia, is
1.-The Glass of fashion and the mould
of form" He moves about the stage
with the most perfect ease and grace
No less pleasing and perfect is the
acting, singing and dancing of Eliza
Nestel. She is certainly entitled to
the appenation of fairy Queen for
she is the most beautiful specimen
Of miniature humanity in existence.
She has a sweet girlish face, and in
the parlor converses upon any topic
with a tluency ofintelligence perfect
ly wonderful.
In addition to the little folks, Miss
Charlotte Nestel, a beautiful young
lady of medium stature, sister of the
little folks, takes part in the enter
tainment, presiding at the piano.
This evening the little folks will
give their last entertainment in this
city, and we advise all who delightin
curiosities and excellent music and
acting to visit the Opera House.
Commodore Foote and Sister
will be at Mammoth Hall, on Tues
day night next, when our citizens
will have an opportunity Of seeing |
the little folks.
