Death of Charles Dickens.

The civilized world will receive with pro-
found sorrow the intelligence of the death of
this great English novelist. He was stricken
with paralysis on Wednesday and died on
Thursday evening last, at his residence near
London. The cable kilograms announce that
this event has plunged the nation into mourn
ing and the Queen of England has expressed
the grief of her people in letter of coincidence
to the afflicted family. The London newspa-
pers of Friday contained obituary articles, from
which the following extracts are made:
The Tines says: "The ordinary expressions
of regret are now cold and conventional. Mil
lions of people feel a personal bereavement.
Statesmen savans and benefactors of heir race,
when they die, can leave no such void. They
cannot, like this great novelist, be an inmate of
every house" The Daily Ne,cs says "With-
out an intellectual pedigree, his writings form
an era in English literature He was generous,
loving and universally beloved He leaves,
like Thackeray, an unfinished story" The
Morning Post says: "O1r. Dickens did more
than any contemporary to make English liter
ature loved and admired" The Telegraph re-
CARDS the distinguished dead as public SER
want whose task is nobly fulfilled.
These brief sentences indicate the great loss
sustained in the removal from an earthly exis-
tence such man, whose name will be tendcrly
mentioned throughout the globe, in the homes
of the lowly no less frequent than in !he gilded
saloons of the rich and exalted. Hc touched
all hearts alike, with genial humor and loving
sympathies, and made the world akin by his
faithful portraitures of life. From among the
expressive eulogies already received by the
mails, we extract paragraph from the Colum
bia Phenir:
The reputation of Dickens was not confined
to England. The civilized world claimed him
in its appreciation and its sympathies, and now
that death has set its seal upon his rich and
busy life, many pens there will be to write his
eulogy-to tell the story of his life and its
achievements to speak Of his wonderful pow
ers, to analyze his great and comprehensive ge-
MUS; to commend, in terms of just culogium,
the high and noble uses to which he put his
God-given talents. We shall not undertake
this work We shall leave it to other pens.
But we shall take occasion to express our ap-
probation of this great writer's services in be-
half of a broad, generous, and genial HU-
MANITY. His humor was penetrated with di-
vine-like spirit, and he used his power to excite
our sympathies in behalf of the 'poor and low
ly" We cannot but think that Dickens has
done the world great service, and that it is
better and more sympathetic, since such man
lived and wrote.

Small Arms and AecOutrsments for the
Army.

ST. LOUIS, June 19.-The Board of
Army Officers, of which General Scho-
field is President, appointed by Gen.
Sherman to select and report upon
small arms and accoutrements for use,
concluded their experiments last
week. The variety of small arms and
accoUtrements presented for the con-
sideration of the Board was unusually
large, and consisted of fOrty-eight diff
ferent systems of breech-lOading rifles,
carbines, pistols and reyolvers; each
possessing distinct peculiarities and
each being valuable and ingenious i'm
provements on former systems. Also,
seventy-two sets of accourements,
cartridge boxes, etc. The board sub
jected ali the arms to rigid experiment
tai tests, and the result win be pro-
mulgated only through official reports.
Among those tested are included sew
eral sent by European manufacturers
and now in use by the European gov
ernments. Although they are excel
lent weapons, they are found 20 be in
ferior to American inventions. Here
after the rifle will be for infantry and
carbine and pistol for cavalry. They
will be of the same system of breach
mechanism, and each with the caliber
of fifty inches. As soon as the Selec-
tiOns of this board are introduced
among the troops it is thought our
army viii be armed and equipped
superior to any army in Europe.
