The OFFICIAL TERM of David A. Wells,
Special Commissioner of Revenue, being
about to expire, an earnest hope is expressed
in various quarters that the President will
not reappoint him. He has exerted so much
ingenuity in advocating the interests of
foreign countries, and has labored so zealously
to depress American industry, that he richly
deserves the generous support of British
manufacturers and the best statistical position
that the British Government can give. AS an
employe of the Republican administration in
the United States, however, he is totally out
of place. By garbling and suppressing sta
tistics of vital moment, he has given color
ing gof plausibility to free-trade theories, which
thesfacts in his keeping, if fairly presented,
would totally destroy. His theories of finance
and tariffs have furnished to the Democratic
party more serviceable weapons of partisan
strife than all their avowed speakers and
writer's on such subjects; and he has done
infinitely more than any other man in the
country to foment and widen the breach
among the Republicans on the doctrine of
protection. Unfaithful to his trust in an
official and patriotic as well as in partisan
sense; unreliable in his theories and in his
arrays of alleged facts; and welded to doc
trines fraught with danger to the country, it
would be thousand times better to have no
Special Commissioner of Revenue than to
continue Mr.. Wells in that Office His reap
pointment would be an insult to the friends
of American industry, while it would cause
great rejoisings in the camp of the free
traders and among the leaders of the
Democracy.

in this country, there is a screw loose. One
paper goes back to Grants occupation of the
region in 1864, and makes that one cause
of famine. Probably Grant did not carry

THE Boy OF THE PERIoD.-Why boys
will work in store for $50, or S1O0, or
$3.50 per annum, when it is possible for
them to learn trades in which they may
begin on the last mentioned sum, is ques-
ton none but boys can answer. There are
always hundreds of hands to be had for
fifty dollars year-in fact the market is
always glutted with them, and the great
attractions must be the looks of the fash
lily dressed clerks who have been in the
service for four or five years or more, and
who look like 5000 year bloods, but
who really vegetate on tenth of that sum,
making both ends meet in manner known
only to higher power than their washwoman.
1t is a nobler ambition which makes good
trade, and not tape measuring, the founda-
ton Of true prosperity,-Ansertcan Volun-

Charles Dickens---Death Of the Great
Author.

LoDoN, June 10-Charles Dickens, the
great novelist, is dead. He was entertain

Hill, on Wednesday, when he was sudden

and was thought to be dying. He was
Immediately conveyed to his chamber,
and medical assistance was rapidly sum-
moued. Upon the arrival of the physician,
he pronounced him to be under the influence
of formnabe stroke of approplexy. In
mediate remedys we're prescribed and ev-
erything done to alleviate his suferings,
but it was all useless, as the great novelist
still remained in a comatose state, from
which it was impossible to rouse him.
A consultation of physicians failed to
develop remedy for the unfortunate coma.
Mr.. Dickens still lay in that dangerous
state of insensibility, and from the time OF
tie attack until six o'clock last evening he
lay motionless, betraying no signs OF life.
The physicians, alarmed at his condition,
at six o'clock examined him to detect signs
of breathing, but the last fickering spark
of life had expired, and shortly after six
o'clock the great novelist was pronounced
dead, having given no signs of lite, and re.
naming slmost utterly insensable until the
hour of his death.
Miss Hogarth, seated near Mr.. Dickens
at the dinner table, observed evident signs
of distress upon his countenance, and then
made remark to him that he must be i'll

He then asked that an open window b,
shut, and almosn immedianely became uu
conscious and fell back in chair insensi
bic.
His son and daughters remained stead
fastly at his bedside after the attack unit
his decease.
The ladies manifested many demonsira
tions of grief at the sad event, ,and the seen
is described as mourEful in the extreme
Many "reminiscences of the eminent al

death.
1t is stated that Mr.. Dickens has sever;
times, of late, complained that he exp,

because his powers of application were b.
coming impotent. He also said his though
no longer came to him as spontaneously
in former times.
While at Preston be had need of medic
aid, and called upon physicians, who warne
him not to continue reading, because /
was doing SO at the peril of his life,
The sad news of the decease of Charl
Dickins has elected the warmest EXPIRE

a DREADFUL DEATH. The Cincinnati
Commercial says: Shortly after eight O,
clock yesterday morning, two men were
standing near the corner of Seventh and
Smith streets, looking up to the top of the
graceful spire of the beautiful new St. Paul's
church, southwest corner of those streets,
were men, who looked like small BOYS,
were hanging by rotton ropes, stating the
spire. The observers wondering how men
could work at that dizzy height, with no
barrier between the slip and death, when
suddenly a thrill of horror passed through
them, and their faces beached to the Eue
of chalk, as they saw one end OF the slender
swing drop; and they held their breath as
they saw the body of a man, the instant
before full of vitality, health and peace Of
mind, launched heels over head, for fall o
hundred and fifty feet or more, humping
withssall the force that hundred and sixty
pounds can gain in long fall, against jag
ged stones, and 10 another second striking
the pavement, a mere bundle of crushed
and pounded bones and flesh, from whicl
life had fed.
The victim was George Jayne, in th'
employ of Dunn Il Witt, torty-fve years o
age, having wife and five children. Mr.
Jayne, about year since met with a simi
lar accident, which caused him to be confined
to his bed for many months, and finally t.

he could make no effort to save himself
