Dickens Literary Gains,

The papers have often printed a
great deal Of pure nonsense on the
subject of Dickens literary gains.
Dickens is stated to have died leav-
ing earnings that often accrue to a
respectable solicitor" This is rub
bish. Dickens left $4,000 in round
figures, and this did not include a con-
siderable sum of money that he had
settled some years before his death
His readings 1858-69) had brought in
about $4,000. 1t is forgotten that
Dickens began life without one penny
and that every farthing he spent or
gave away or left was earned by him
self, only excepting $4,000 which was
bequeathed to him by friend about
two years before his own death. Dick
ems lived literally lsome people said
extravagantly) for about thirty four
years. he. brought up and started in
life large and very expensive family,
and he gave away great deal Of
money to needy relatives. - London

Antiquity of the Senate.

The senate is historically much older
than the lower house. or house of rep

country and time. In the remote time,
while as yet there was no such thing
as science of government. the tribe
was wont to look to it's old men. on
account of their wisdom and expert
ence. for advice in all matters per-
tanning to the tribe, and those old
men were the first senators. The
word senator comes from 'senis."

and seated government became a fact
the senate continued to be composed
of the old men. and when by and by
the second chamber. or council. was
added the senate continued to receive
the larger measure of reverence and
respect-New York American.
