Lit erature seems tu.have lost her king; and one w to hom almost all were loyal. He was the Jord Ol laughter - and of tears. - -The old dress - in which mortals used to be presented. to us by authors bad grown shabby, but he dressed - human nature anew, showed - ito us as we had never seen it before. Ile made what was homely and lowly draw near, to be 19oked at I and loved." Nolnies on Dickens. • In bis oration at Harvard College yesterday Qliver - W. - llolmes - said of CharletrDickens: - We have just seen a life finished whose whole compass was included within the re membered years of, many= among--us. Why was 9ur great prose mir trel mourned by nations and hurled with kings? Because he - vindicated humatdtY;' not against its -Maker,- but against. itself- Because he took the part of his - frail; erring, sorrowing, dying fellow ereatures, against the demonologists, who had pretended to write the history of human nature, "with a voice that touched - the heart as no other had done since the Scotch peasant was laid dovitia to slumber in the soil -his song had hallowed. We are not called to mourn over hiS frailties as we must sorrow in remembering those"-of the sweet singer Of Scotland; but we all need forgiveness, and there must be generous failings in every true manhood, which it makes Ilearen itself-hap pier to pardon. "I am very human," Dickens said to me one of the last times I met him; and so I feel as if I might repeat a few of the lines I wrote on a certnn occasion, as mypoor tribute to the memory of Robert Burns, in tender remembrance of Charles Dickens. We praise him—not for gift divine, His muse was born of woman; His manhood breathes in every' line ; Was ever heart more human ? We love him, praise bizn,"just for this, In every form and feature ; •Through wealth and want, through woe and bliss, He saw his fellow-creature. Aye, heaven bad set one living man Beyond the pedant's tether; His virtues, frailties, he may scan weighs A Household Monument to Charles Dickens. To th ,, Editor of the New York Times there is good reason to believe that Charles Dickens ad and has as many appreciating readers in America, as in England, I believe that many of them would like to have a livin andspeaking_monunrent to his genius __and worth in their homes. I propose, therefore,to make a collection of the newspaper notices of his death which appeared in different coun tries the next day after that event, or on the 9th of June ; also of allusions to his i life and works made in the pulpit on Sunday, the 12th. lam collecting such notices of the great writer as appeared on those days in Grent Britain, France, - Germany and - other European countries; and hope that half the volume may be'made up' of American tributes to the great departed. 13uch a volume will not only be a living monument to his inexhaustible genius and worth, but also to the ability which submarine telegraphs give to kindred and sympathising nations to stand side by side, in equal sorrow, at the death-bed of a great henefactor to his race, and to hear, across widely-divided continents, the, first and last strokes of the bell that tolls over his gtave. I shall, therefore, be exceedingly obliged to thoSe who may sympathize with this tribute to Charles Dickens, if they will send me any copies of newspapers of June 9, or any ex tracts of sermons preached on the 12th, con taining notices of his life and influences, or any generous sentiments in reference to his sudden and lamented death. Let me beg such kind helpers iu the work to direct their con tribittions to,what will be my address in a few '_week s , EIMILT BURRITT, Now Britain, Conn. Bznnitsuunft, Tuesday, Juno 14, 1870. THE ISTHMUS INDIANS. - Original Aboriginies. Themppearanee and customs of the Indians of the Isthmus are singular. They keep their women as much as possible secluded from the view,of the whites: The natives are copper-. colored, short in stature, with deep chests, • straight black hair, black eyes and high cheek bones, The masculine costume is thin calico pantaloons and shirts. The feminine infants have a band tied round the ankle and another just below the knee, also bands-on the wrists, .and these are not taken • off until the person is fully • grown, so that •the drikle, wrists, &c., , may, be as small' as pos sible..

(Correspondence coll tee Phitadelphthimenhsr Bulletin.] SwARTIamOnE COLLEGE, DELAWARE CO., PA., June 29.—The closing exercises of the first year of this institution took place to-day, nd--notwitbstanding the-intense-heat-a—large number of the friendand patrons of the Col lege were 'present.. AS it only opened last year, there were, of course, no graduates, but the Freshman class of about twenty of both sexes passed a very successful examination, and will`constitute the Sophomore class of next year. About an equal number Of those who are now connected with the preparatory department will enter the Freshman class for' next year: This institution is under the control and di rection of a Board of Managers, chartered by thnegislature of Pennsylvania, but indirectly under the direction of the Ice* York, Philo -delphia-and Baltimore Yearly Meetings of the Society of Friends, or rather that branch com monly called Hicksites. It is intended for the equal education of the sexes, and will: be largely: patronized by Friends throughout the country, being the only institution of the grade under the control of this branch of the society On this continent. The first year's experi ment has been very succemiftil, ;and the- President Land the facn ifeel much encouraged. The establishment of the college is a long step forward in the educational system of the Society, it having in the past seldom taken any care to secure to its children anything, beyond an or dinary higly-school education: Some of the • older Friends still look with suspfcion on this as a departure from the ancient ways of the Society. One step further is badly needed, and that is the introddction of musical instruction. The lack of music was sadly felt in the exer cises of to-day:.-Some otthe younger members interested are determined' that this step- also shall be taken, but they , must move cautiously, for the' " conservative 4 - will - make this their —4l lasrditch," and ii - ght — as hard as their INMee principles will let them. All unprejudiced out siders will - heartily -- wish the -- musical party success. . The buildings are very large and handsome and reflect great credit on Mr. Addison Hutton, the architect, who designed them. The grounds are shortly to be put in good order; an efficient landscape-gardener having been empoloyedfor the purpose, and the buildings and surrounings will soon be as handsome as those of any educational establishment in the State. As the College is the only one in the coun try under the control of the Society of Friends doubtless continue with the same prosperity and vigor that has marked the, first year of its e xis ten ce. STRANGE STORY OF A 31IIRDER. A Man. MEd Woman Murdered in an Emigrant . Wagon—Their Daughter - Escapes. • [From the Cleveland Herald.] - - On -Wednesday evening, June 22d, Mr. Benehoff, of Greenville, Pa., came to Warren, Ohio, having in, charge a young- girl, aged 14 years, who gave her 'name as Sarah Jane Cornelis, only daughter of Thomasi Cornelis, late of - Jackson, -Hardin county, - Ohio,. - She reports a terrible tragedy - as occurring on last. Friday morning, a few miles weal or south of Warren. She says that her father sold his farm,within about bevenpilles - of Kenton, some time sinVe, - for $5,000„ and that on the 7th inst., the hus band, Wife, and daughter left there _fora nett home in Erie - county, Pennsylvania.- That they-traveled in a two-horse wagon,- running -gear red; bed blue; and hail - a - black - oil-cloth cover. They " camped out" at night, did, their own cooking, and slept in the wagon. - Last - Thursday night or Friday morning she was awakened by the cry from her mother, "They are killing your father ! " She saw a man at tack her mother, striking her—her mother gave - a scream, but made no further noise. - .The girl says- she then crawled out, of the hind end of the wagon, and ran and hid in the undergrowth near by. One of the murderers said, "Where is that girl?" The other re-- sponded, "No matter about her, we Inuit - be getting out of this." They then hitched np the team and drove off with , the wagon,taking the bodies of the murdered man and woman with them. The , child says she ran after them, and kept as near ' the wagon as she could for five or six miles, being guided by the sound. She claims' to have lost the track of the wagon when it passed through Warren at break of clay on - Friday - rnornirg., -- ' She - continued in a north= easterly course, and on Saturday reached Greenville, Penn., nearly crazed and famished. Her story was not credited at first, but a num ber of citizens, after a thorough catechizing of the girl fora couple of days, became satished that she was not deceiving them. From her description of the last large town she had passed through, they concluded it was War ren. The girl was brought over the - road Wednesday, and •recognized it as the one she had traveled. She claims to reaognize Warren as the place she last heard the wagon, and says she came in across the bridge leading out on the Canfield road. If true, the murder must have occurred somewhere between Warren and Canfield. --The girl-says- her father liad.on his person about $7,000. She gives the names of persons residing near her former home, in Hardin county. An uncle on her mother's side, named Colfax ; knows Mr. Baker and Mr. Kingsley, neighbors. The child seems artless and truthful. Like children usually are, raised in retired sections, she, is quite • diffident and bashful in the presence of strangers. It does not seem probable she could. •concoct such a terrible, story out of nothing, and appear as fair as she does. Despatches have been sent to Kenton, and further particulars will be known of what ap pears a fearful and mysterious case. WOMEN'S AQUATIC RIGHTS Bowinix Match ficrittiiburEh• Pittsburgh is about to enjoy a sensation, for, on the lfith day of Juno next, the Nonpareil Club of that city into give a pic-nic at Glen wood Grove,and a rowing-match between such young ladles as may then be of - aquatic turn of mind. In this sport she who is entitlell to wear the victor's crown shall be pre sented with a beautiful gold watch and chain. Several emulous and ambitious oarswomen have already entered the lists, among them Miss Lottie McA lice, Miss Shorridan and Miss Whalen. The Weal papers describe Miss Lottie as a lovely girl, hardly past her third lustrum, and as being so enthusiastic in the cause that she not only practices with the oars daily, but arises at the poetic hour of "live o'clock in the morning," then to take a long walk. , Miss Whalen lives - with her - parents in a floating house on the south side. and is said to be skilful at guid ing a skiff, although when, a short time ago, she made her first essay with a scull, she re ceived a most ignominious ducking in the turbid waters of tho Monongahela. The club is-in constant receipt of letters from ambitious maidens who wish to join in the sport, and, as, the regatta is to be open to all comers, a beau tiful sight will be seen on the coming 1.6 th., Some ungallant oarsmen of the dingy city de precate the moveinent, and one of them re fused evelito let the lovely• Lottie try his scull. Should such contemptible spite be generally shown, there may be expected, in the words of the -Canadian-Boat-song, a "row, brothers, . , . righ-at2-Young-4400-i-eAtea--t ha-tweation of Adam. from dust. tT"' 4 ' 414 PRIO LI 1 31 711 FACTS AND NAN4NEN.

A CHANGE OF 'FORTUNE. Another Thaddeus of Warsaw. A Polish count, named Christianus Berm dofski, is now working as a journeyman in a. barnessmaker's shop in Galesburg, Illinois. He was born in Warsaw in 1833. In. 1883 he WAS involved in one of the Polish rebellions, but escaped to this country, while his estates were confiscated, and his mother died, his father having previously been killed in a skirmish. The Galesburg Republican says of him: "In his weary wanderings through this 'cowl try he onceobtained tho position of professor of languages' in a college in Minnesota,.,. but was forced to abandon the place because ho could not obtain sufficient salary to support him in the commonest style commensurate with the situation conferred. He resigned the empty dignity, and set in with a harness-maker in a neighboring town, to Acorn the business,' but could not obtain enough from him even - to, get tbe necessities, of life. After many wan derings he finally arrived in Galesburg sown' two years since, and for the past six or seven months has found employment in the harness shop Of Mr, Isaac Merrill. Last winter he re ceived-intellig,ence that a free pardon had been extended to him by the Czar Alexander. It had, however, become so utterly valueless that he refused to accept it—bis estates had been confiscated, and his friends and relatives aro either dead or banished.
