It is enormously supposed that the
fGse Charles Dickens va, tie regularly for
PINCH. There is among Mark Lemons
papers an article signed Charles Dick
ems, on the outside of which is written,
my sole contribution to Punch" The
idea that Dickens was on the staff of
Punch originated, no doubt, through
thssintimaey which so long existed be-
tween the two men. Scarcely a day
passed at one period of their lives with
out they met each other at their own
houses. They frequently spent evenings
at home together. or at some place Of
public amusement. They generally de-
voted one or two evenings in the week
to what Mark called London ramble,
which was frequently an excursion to
the East End, picking up character" at
minor theatres, circuses, and other
places Of resort in the widest districts
of the widest parts of the metropolis.
Charles Dickens, Clarkson Stansield,
the painter, and Mark Lemon often
made excursions Of this kind in company,
conyersing with any persons they might
care to know, and thus gaining fund
of information which was afterward
proftsbly employed. Many passages
in Dickens works, considered far
fetched and overdrawn, may be traced
to scenes in real life witnessed during
these London rambles. 1T was Lemon
.who planned the excursions, as is shown
by Dickens letters. When Dickens
lived at TavistOcl1 house, Lemon lived
close by in Gordon square; and notes,
letters and reninders Of appointments
were continually passing from ono
house to the other In later days,
owing to Dickens business severance
from Bradbury Il Evans, and certain
family troubles, GOODNESS rose between
Lemon and bis iuustrious neighbor; but
there was revival of something like
the old friendship year or two prior tc
Dickens death. y 30 A4a

who died suddenly under the saddest

The third-party Prohibitionists of
this State continually reiterate the asser-
ton that .nothing is to be expected of
the Republicans-with majority 10 both
houses of the Legislature, they refused to
pass the Local Option BILL" All but two
of the Republican Senators and more than
three-quarters of the Assemblymen voted
for the bill, but this does not prevent tho
third-party Prohibitionists from saying
that the Republican party is rum party.
Now, the truth is that the third party
Prohibitionists themselves are RESPONSE.
BILE for the defeat of the Local Option bill
in the Legislature. On this point the
Moatclair Times says:
CAT one time the Local Option bill had
twenty-eight votes in the House, or with
in three votes of majority. Pfeffer,
DEM, of Camden; Beckwith, DEM, OF
Atlantic, and Drake, Dem, of Morris,
who were elected over temperance Re-
publicans in those counties because of q
Prohibition ticket in the field, all voted
against the Local Option bill. Had these
three Republicans been elected, as they
would have been but for the short-sighG.
edness of the Prohibitionis.s In running q
third ticket the Local Option bill would
have passed the Legislature"

In sympathy with Mr.. Powdcrly's ideas
about strikes, 1t is hoped that those disas.
trous occurrences are done away with for
all time to come. Mr.. Turner said that
all the talk in the metropolitan newspa-
pers in regard to the Convention being
an inharmonious one was mere fabrica-
ton that there was no more discussion
among the different delegates than there
usually is at convention, and the dele.
gates to which come from all parts of the
United States. "You have no doubt
heard" he continued, 'that the new Di.
rectors were Home Club men, and that
they weae antagonistic to Mr.. Powderly.
But this is not so, for they themselves
stated they were in sympathy with Pow
derby, and besides, as far as we are able to
learn, the Home Club is simply an Eastern
organization of Eastern knights who are
trying to raise funds for the purpose Of
establishing homes where old and dis
abled members of the order can live when
untitled for work, and for this purpose
penny collections are taken up at each
meeting, and at the end Of each month
the amount Of the collection is forwarded
to them. Already about $4,000 has been
raised by this means"

Krupp's Big Hammer.

The great tifty-ton hammer in
Krupp's works at Essen gained its
name, .'Unser Fri z, and the inscrip-
ton it bears. FRI z, let hy!' in the fol-
lowing manner: When, in 1877, the
Emperor William visited Essen, this
steam hammer attracted his attention.
Krupp presented to him the machinist.
Fritz, who, he said. handled the ham
mer with such n Getty and precision as
not to injure or touch an object placed
in the center of the block. The emper-
or at once put his diamond-studded
watch on the spot indicated, and beck
oned to the machinst to set the ham
mer in motion. Fritz hesitated out of
consideration for the precious object,
but X upp urged him on by saying,
Fritz, let fly" Down came the ham
mer, and the watch remained untouch-
ed. The Emperor gave it to the ma
chinist as souvenir, and Krupp added
1000 marks to the present.-N r.
