DICKENS.

In reference to the monument to be
erected to Dickens, an American paper
saws that when Canova, the sculptor,
visited London he was asked the ques-
ton: "What is the most Surprising thing
that you see hereY " That Victoria
Bridge should be the work of private
corporation and the Chinese Bridge IN
st. James Park the property Of the Gov
eminent was the reply. So it will be
in after years, il England does not pay
this tribute to her later Shakespeare, that
when the stranger visits London his
greatest source of surprise will be that
Nelson's honors leap up so proudly in
Trafalgar Square while Dickens sleeps
so quietly in moldy Westminster. s.

that the tight time for these people will
come when this fever is over, aud when
we stop thinking about this matter and
our attention is given 10 other worldly
matters. There will be an abundance
Of everything for the immediate wants
Of these sufferers, so far as provisions

we should husband our resources here;
we should not slacken our energies
In the direction Of gathering supplies;

US that they need them. For The present
they are going 70 haze more than they
want. but this is not the time OF ne

IT is stated that for the past four
months Chicago has been for all practical
purposes utterly deprived of rain. The
weather also has been intensely hot.
The consequence has been that a large
proportion of the dwellings, which.-are
of frame, acquired an inAammability al
most equal to that oftinder. This fact is
especially true in certain districts Of the
city which are occupied by the poorer
classes. The lumber yards also have
been. filed, with immense piles which
have experienced the same seasoning
