Death of the Great Novelist
Sketch of MN Life.
Ms Vital to America
Charles Dickens was born at Portsmouth
England, Feb. 7, 1812. no was the son of
Mr. John Dickens, a worthy gentleman
who had hold a position for many years in
the Navy Pay Department, from which he
was retired upon a pension in 1815. Mr.
Dickens was a man of some little literary
ability, and upon his retirement he accepted
a position as a reporter on a•London - news
paper. Charles Dickens was intended for
the law, and was actually placed in an at
torney's office. But the drudgery of the
profession was hateful to him, and after ac
quiring a knowledge of its Lchnicalities,
us well as its absurdities, which was useful
to hint in alter life, he exchanged his posi
tion for that Ma reporter on the True Sun,
and after wards upon the Morning Chronicle
The latter paper had largo influence and
circulation. Sir. Dickens here first dis
played great literary ability. lle publish
ed iirthe Chronicle a series of sketches sign
ed "Boz" (derived froin a corruption of
Moses, a name which Mr. Dickens play
fully applied to a y-ounger brother). These
sketches attracted a great deal of attention,
for they showed the author to have very
remarkable pincers of perception, of des
cription and besides a rich cotnic vein.
These sketches were published in two vol
umes in 1535.

of the firm of Chapman Hall, to ask Mr.
I)ickens to undertalco to write a story, in

association; at that tine). This story was
to lie illustrated by :%1 r. Seymour, a comic
draughtsman. The ti rst !mintier was no

of Cuba the blessing and the right 01 inde

made failed, but nut witho tan assn
from Spain that the good (Miss of this
government might still avail for the objects
to which they had been addressed. During
the whole contest the remarkable exhila
them has Leon made of large numbers of
Cubans escaping from the island and avoid
ing the risks of war, congregating in this
country at a safe distance from the scene of
danger, and endeavoring to make war front
our shores; to urge our purple into the
tight which they avoid, and to embroil this
government in complications and possible
!WSW itieS with Spain'.
It eau scarcely lie doubted that this last
result is the real object of these parties, al
though carefully covered under the deeep
live and apparently plausible demand tor
a more reeegnition of beligerency. It is

cognition by the U. Stales of either Cuban

of making their value thus entirely con

is a SIIII . USA for serious rethaien.

were devastating Europe.

It then devolved upon us to deterninie
the great international question, at what
line and under what iiircurnstanees to re
,igllr/.0 a new power as entitled to a place
among the families of the oaken, as well ws
he preliminary question of the attitude to
a‘ observed by this government toward
insurrectionary party pending the
contest.
Mr. Monroe concisely expressed the rule
which has controlled the action of this
government, with reference to revolting
colonies, pending, their struggle, by say
ing : "As soon as the movement assumed
such a steady and consistent form as to'
make the success of the provincial proba
ble, the rights to which they were entitled
by the law of nations, as equal parties to a
civil war, were extended t, them." The
strict adherence to this rule of public poli
cy has been one of the highest honors of
American statesmanship, and has secured
to this government the confidence of the
feeble powers on this continent, which in
clines them to rely upon its friendship and
absence of designs of conquest, and to look
to the United States for example and moral
protection.
It has given to this government a posi
tionof prominence and of influence which
it should not abdicate, but which imposes
upon it the most delicate dillies of right
and of honor regarding American ques
tions, whenever those questions afbeet
emancipated colonies still subject to Euro
pean dominion.
The question of belligerency is one of
fact, not to be decided by sympathies for
or prejudice against any party. The rela
tions betwedh the parent state and the in
surgents must amount, in fact, to war in
the sense of international law. Fighting,
though tierce and protracted, does not
alone constitute war, There inust be mil
itary forces, acting in accordance with the
rules and customs of war, flags of truce,
cartels, exchange of prisoners, ike., A:c., and
to justify a recognition of belligerency
there must be above all, a do facto political
organization of the insurgents, sufficient
in character and resources to constitute it
—if loft to itself—a state among nations ca
pable of discharging the duties of a state
and of meeting the just responsibilities it
may incur as such toward other powers in
the discharge of its national duties.
Applying the best information which I
have been able to gather, whether from
official or unofficial sources, including the
very exaggerated statements which each
party gives to all that may prejudice the
opposite or give credit to its own side of the
question, I am unable to see in the present
condition of the contest in Cuba, those ele
ments which are requisite to constitute
" war" in the sense of international law.
The insurgents hold no town or city, have
no established seat of government; they
have no prize courts, no organization for
the receiving or collecting of revenue ; no
Tho question of belligerency, however,
which is to be decided upon definite prin

Payment of the State Debt
The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
kill speedily give notice of their readiness
to redeem the State loan of July 11, Isle,
which lie its terms is reimbursable at any
time sifter the lot of July, Is7M, the princi
pal in currency - and the accrued interest in
gold. •I'he amount of this loan now matur
ing, we think, is abuut one•and-a-quarter
million of dollars. The Commissioners
further resolved that the interest due on
tile lot of July, 1870, on the loan of April
Ist! , which is the "Inclined Plane"
loan of some :3400,000, bearing interest
at six per vent., and the loan of April 2,
1852, of which ~112,000 bears interest at 4
per cent., and f.. 412,000 at 5 per cent., in all
$52-I,ooo4shall also be paid in coin. These are
the only loans of the Commonwealth on
which the interest falls due on the Ist of
July next. The interest on the loans above
mentioned still be paid with rebate of in-
Mrest it any time before maturity if de
manded. The Legislature in its last session
authorized, without directing tho next semi-
annual interest on the State debt to he paid
in coin, according to law, and as legislative
authority in all such matters is always re
ceived as mandatory, the Curninissi9ners of
the Sinking I•'und have done no store than
was expected of them, and no more than is
duo front them as loyal and law-abiding
men, in directing the next interest payment
to be made in gold or its equivalent, and
they will no doubt continue such lawful
payments so long as required by law, as in
terpreted by the highest court in the land.
The August setni-annual interests, as that
due in July, there is no reason to doubt,
will also be paid in gold. This is no it
should be. The principal of the debt, being
payable any time after the date named, has
ever been construed as payable at the pleas
ure of the State—in this respect being like
the British Consols. The authorities of the
State of New York give notice that hereaf
ter that State will pay in gold both the
principal and interest of her obligations.--

The consumption of steel rails, it free,
would be enormous. We have 46,000 miles
of railway which it is necessary to re-lay
with steel rails. IC takes 100 tons of rail to
lay a mile of road. The estimation of 200,-
000 tons would only re-lay 2,000 miles an
nually. It will be seen from the above
tables that, while the great reduction gives
the people relief to the extent of 421 cents
per cwpita, it proposes to tileL from the peo
ple 24 cents annually per capita, and put it
into the pockets of Pennsylvania steel
inanufactures and Massachusetts cotton
spinners.
We cannot too often remind the people
that the dear rails mean dear transporta
' tion; that if the wear and tear of a perma
nent road could be r t sluced—which steel
I rails alone ran do—the freight would Ire re
duced on all kinds of produce front our vast
interior to the sea-volt:it. And every cent
the railways would charge less for carrying
1 wheat from Illinois to Sew York would go
into the pockets of the rightful owners—the
farmer.
In estimating '
therefore, the actual gain
of this bloated steel-rail inumopoly at
$6,600,000, the actual loss and waste of the
farmer's industry is by no means all told.
It Is, of Clllll,e, impossible to estimate the
loss the farmer has to sustain On accuuunt of
dear carriage; and it is no exaggeration to
say that the great \Vest alone is mulcted in
a lids, directly mud indirectly. of suture than
twenty millions a n nually because of our
high railway freight charges.
But, then, in our present Congress it is
not the great nuass of people who are von
siderod ; it is enough if Messrs. I iriswold
and Morrill and a few other steel-rail
makers can put six and a half millions an

The Social Etonllty Law
The first suit under the social equality
law of Louisiana, brought against the pro
prietor of an ice cream establishment who
refused to receive colored applicants for re
freshments, has resulted in a disagreement
of the jury. It is said that a variety of races
were represented among the jurymen, and
that a colored juror was prominent in op
posing the intentions of the framers of the
law, alleging that he himself did not want
white men as visitors at colored people's
balls, "to come and take my colored ladies
away." After long and Malted discussion,
the other jurors agreed to take the opinion
of a grave and silent German, He decided
that as it had been evident that the lawyers
in the case were at variance upon the law,
the justice, and the evidence adduced, it
could not lie expected that a jury which
knew far less about such matters should
agree. And this sagacious opinion was
adopted as the finding of the jury.

The Race% on Monday
On account of the disappointment ex
perienced by many turfman at the late
June meeting of the Agricultural Park As
sociation by reason of the continued bad
weather which materially interfered with
their published programme, the Directors
determined to add two additional premi
tuns, for running horses, to come off on
Monday . June 13, the first to be a. handicap
race for Lancaster county horses, Premium
$lOO, half mile and repeat. The second to
be a handicap race, for all horses, for a pre
mium of $2OO.
The following horses were entered Per the
first race: Sorrel Dan, carrying 110 Ins,
and ridden by "Curley:" Gen. Kegley,

Charley Rise; and John, carrying 100
and ridden by a colored boy named Ad
kins.

mond second, Gen. Negely third, and Sorrel
Dan outside. Without any difficulty the
homes got off, Sorrel Dan taking the lead at
the lower turn, followed closely by lien.

These positions were kept throughout the
heat—Sorrel Dan crossing the score three
lengths ahead of Negely, who WM four
lengths ahead of John, Richmond being a
few lengths in the rear. Time 56 seconds.
Before the start Sorrel Dan was favorite
in the pools at the rate of about $lO to $-F
against the field. After taking the first
heat so easily, very few would bet against
him at any odds; 'though the game manner
in whirl Gen. Negley had run, induced a
few admirers to invest a trifle on him.
Second Heat.—Sorrel Dan on the inside,
Negley second, John third, and Richmond
outside. The horses again got a good send
otr at the first attempt, John a little behind
on rounding the lower turn and up the
backstretch, Dan Was a little ahead, with

On the ringing of the bell the beautiful
;old glossy little bay, Jubal, stepped upon
the track, and looked all the world like a 1
winner, though the knowing ones shook
their heads and bet their money that he
would not carry away the premium :as he
did last week. Enchantress next put in I .
an appearanee, and made a most favorable
impression on all who saw her. She is a
handsome, showy and strongly built sor
rel !Intro, with white hind feet and a small
white spot on her forehead. Boaster lal its
his 'tame, h o tly in appearance and perform
:wee. Ile is a modest looking, gentle,
easily-managed sorrel stallion, with one I
white hind foot and a regularly formed
white diamond in the centre of his fore
head. Although less showy than pillar of
the others, he was the favorite in the pools
at. :1 to 1 against the tield. Jerrold is a beau
tiful black without spot, as pretty as a
picture. Many outsiders thought itimpon
nible for the quiet looking Boaster to win
the race with three such magnificent 1.'1:-
lug horses against hint, and pool selling
went on right briskly for a while, Boaster
still having the call at long odds.
The horses took position at the upper end
I f the homestretch, and were preparing for
a start, when suddenly Jerrold made a
plunge and came thundering down past
the grand stand at furious speed, around
the lower turn, up the backstretch and
along the upper turn. At first it wets
thought that his rider, a lad named Wm.
Scott, had received orders from the owner
to give him a little exercise fur the purpose
or warming; up; butt when he again came
dashing down the homestretch some began
to suspect that he was running away with
his rider. Again and ag ain he '•

amid cries of" Stop that horse!" "saw him,
ease hint!" "null him against the fence

eoats, and horse blankets swinging, in front
of them, Were formed across the track for
the purpose of stopping, hint, but with a
toss of his head, and a whisk of his tail, he
broke through them, saying, as plain as a
horse could say, Slam fit! don't bolder
ate!'' and again and again he made the
circuit, Maming with sweat but full of vig
or, whde little Scott looked as though he
would fall from the saddle from sheer
exhaustion. Having ran eight tittles around
the course he was at last brought to a
stand still against the fence on the back
stretch. Scott was ordered to dismount
and the colored boy Adkins substituted as
rider. A few minutes were granted to J er-
rola to cool otr. A few quarts of sweat were
scraped from his body and legs by the
grootno, and the bell rung for the
First Heal.—After three or four false
starts, Jerrold being held all the time by
the head, the horses got away, Boaster on
the inside, Jerrold second, Enchantress
third ;old .f eta! outside. At the lower turn
closed in on Boaster, and lapped hint
all along the back-stretch with Enchan
tress but a length or (WO behind. At
the upper corner Jubal took the lead,
and kept it for the balance of the first half
mile, passing the stand a short length
ahead of Boaster with Enchantress third and
Jerrold last. Along the backstretch of the
secool hal f-m ile, .1 übal and Boaster were
as closely locked together its though they
had heed harnessed in one team, and this
position remained almost unchanged t''

general belief that the heat would be do.

still held by the head, on the outsidc.—
t 'onsiderable difficulty was experienced in
getting the horses off—or rather in keeping
thorn back. J u bal and Jerrold, after having
crossed the score, were particularly indis
posed to be put back. They would allow
themselves to be led back almost to the
sisire, and then break away and run to the
lower turn. They were finally bark,,l a
few yards behind the score where the others
were in waiting and a good send-off was the
result—Boaster slightly in the lead ofJubal

On turning into the backstretch with a

Although it had rained considerable on
Sunday night the track was in good con

than at the races last week, though by no

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday night
June 11th, a sad and fatal accident took
place on the farm of Mr. John Hastings, in
Drumore twp., this county. Mrs. Henry
Work was terribly burned while in the act
of filling a coal MI lamp. The fire was ac
cidently communicated to the oil can,
which exploded and threw its entire con
tents over her, burning her clothes almost
entirely off of her person, and roasting her
entire body and upper extremities into a
perfect crisp. Dr. 11. E. Raub was called
in soon after the occurrence took place, but
all medical aid was of no avail. She lin
gered until Monday morning at 10 o'clock,
when she expired. She leaves a family of
three small children.
A SEnlet'S ACCIDENT.—A serious acci
dent happened to Mr. Joseph Hoar, of Sal
isbury township, on Tuesday of last week.
It seems Mr. Hoar has a very fine horse
which he was in the habit of touching with
his whip on entering the stable, and, from
this cause the horse became frightened and
kicked him so severely on the side and
ribs that his condition is considered very
precarious. Let this be a warning to
owners and attendants of horses to always
approach them in a gentle and kind way.
"FOR TUE Raiff IT RAINETH EVERY
DAv."—We quote that from Shakespeare.
It must have been written during some
such period as that through which we have
been passing. For nearly a month the aky
has been wrapped in leaden clouds, and It
has either drizzled, or sprinkled, or poured
every day, and every night, all day and all
night long. The horse fair was spoiled, the
grain has been cast down, cherries have de
cayed, strawberries have lost thier delici
ous flavor, the grass has grown rank, hats
have been spoiled, spring bonnets have
been ruined, our streets have become run
ning streams of mud and ooze, the bricks
in the pavements are loose, and mud spirts
up to soil the shapely ankles of fair ladies,
"The wtmther-cork has rusted East ;
The lane sky is forgotten;
This vgirth's a satorattsl sponge,
And vegetation's rotten.
•• I hate to nee• Om &tritest •Ide;
I hate M be complaining;
But hang me if me temper stands
This ruining, raining, raining!"
since the abort was written the suit has
burst through the clouds, and we do hope
and pray that it may continue to shine.
RAPID ButtufNa.—Dr. Benjamin Mish
ler, has shown the people of Laneaster how
rapidly building can bedone. Having per
fected arrangements for the job, he begun
yesterday morning, to put another story
upon his property on the corner of Centre
Square and South Queen street. The strac
tore has two fronts, one on the Square and
another on Queen street. An army of ma
sons, carpenters, host carriers, and other
artificers., assembled promptly at seven
'clock, and from that hour until noon, the
space in front of our oltee presented a
scene that reminded us of the scriptural
recount of the building of the tower of
Babel. The loud outcry of discordant
voices, the sound of hammers and saws,
die creaks of putties, and a general din was
kept up until at noon, when the thunder
drowned thorn by its superior racket...—
When the shower had passed, the hurry
and bustle begun again, and by night the
strilettire was completed and Under roof.
l'o-day the plasterers and painters have
been at work on the inside, and the carpen
ters put on the cornier, and gave the fin
ishing tenches to tho work. The Dr, prom
ised to put another story on the Clannterrial
Exchange Building, in twenty-four work
ing hour', but he did do about twice as
much as was expected, by adding another
compliito story to the house occupied by
Mr. Autos K. Bowers, Mishler knows how

weeks as is the custom with most builders

RA I LROA ACCIDENT.—On Thursday
night about 10 o'clock there was a collision
of oars on the Pennsylvania Railroad, near
the Blairsville Intersection, which resulted

the loath of an unknown man, and the in
jury of several others, among whom was
our fellow-citizen, Col. David Houck, stork
dealer of Clay top., who had two ribs
broken, and was otherwise injured. Mr.
Houck and the others were at the time uf
the rolision seated in the calaboose of a
stock car coming east. Their train was run
into, as is supposed, by the neglect of the
flagman to notify the other train. Their
ear ,vas broken and thrown front the track
into all ieljoining cornfield. 'rho other dam
aged sirs caught tire anti were consumed.
The ears containing the horses were fortu
nately not much injured, and the horses

so as to prevent an accident in case they

DA:MAGS TO GRASS CHOPS.—The constant
wet weather for the last few weeks has
proved destructive to many heavy fields of
grass.
TROUT BREEDINO.—A correspondent
from Nine Points writes as follows:
Poitim, June e.
Messrs. Editors correspondent writ
ing from Bart has noticed through the col
umns of your paper our trout breeding es
tablishment, and I have been frequently
asked since what fish culture is. The reply
is that it is the propagation of fish by arti
ficial means, and the protection of the
young from danger to which they are ex
posed in their natural haunts, assisting
and in a great degree improving
on nature. It may be asked can you
improve on nature. To this I re
spond that if the culturist has the spawn
under his own protection and supervision
it will be subject to none of the casualties
to which it is exposed in the stream si here
the parent fish deposit it. Breeding and rais
ing trout for private use and to supply our
market is destined to become a national
branch of industry, and many who
possess the requisite natural advant
ages are now giving their ratan
thin to it. The artificial hatching and
raising of fish, has with few exceptions
been confined to brook trout These are
not only fish of the rarest beauty and most
delicate flavor but they also command the
highest price in market, and afford the
greatest pleasure to the angler,
We are glad to learn that trout culture
has been begun by one who is intelligent
and capable of proving to the fkrmers of
Lancaster county how profitable the cool
streams that flow with limpid elCarlleAli
through the meadow lands any be made.
There are tinnily such streams in the coun
ty, and we know no section of country
which is more favorably located for trout
culture than our own. we wish our pio
neer correspondent abundant success, and
hope that many others nay soon be induc
ed to follow in his footsteps. If he who
makes a single blade of grass to grow
where none grow before is a !labile bene
factor, surely he W :1 stream wit h
trout is a greater One.
