DEATH OF CHARLES DICKENS.
We have the news by cable of the death
of Charles Dickens. lie who has moved
more hearts than any other man of his gen
eration has ceased his labors here. L’n
numbered households will mourn him, ami
his memory will receive the richest tributes
that pen or tonguecan iwstow. The name
of Charles Dickens will lie cherished as J
long as literature lasts. The marble that
marks his grave will crumble into dust:
while his memory will remain fresh and;
green. The large sympathizing heart, that
beat true to the claims of humanity, jus
tice, truth, right, and made itself felt in
every manly and noble breast touched by
the work of his genius, is at rest, but its
influence will last forever. Next toShak
speare the world quotes most frequently
from Charles Dickens, and the more it
reads the more it admires and the brighter
will become his fame, lie had his faults'
as all mortal men have, but these will be
forgotten, while the magicglow of his gen
ius will blaze clearer and steadier before
generations to come.. Lay the fairest
flowers upon his tomb and cherish lovingly
his memory, for he was one of the great
inspired whom the world is the better for
having.
Charles Dickens was born at Portsmouth,
England, Feb. 7, 1812, and was therefore
in his 59th year when he died. Ilis father
held an office in the navy pay department,
from which he retired on a pension and
afterwards became a reporter on the daily
press of London. The son, he intended for
an attorney and placed him in an office for
that purpose, but a taste for literature which
the lad had led him at length to become a
newspaper critic and reporter. He was
attached to the “True Sun” and afterwards
to the “Morning Chronicle." The first
articles in which he evinced his talent were
a series of sketches of London life under
the signature of "Boz.” They were after
wards collected and published in book
form: Then followed the “Pickwick
Papers,” which set England and America
laughing and laid the foundation of the
fame and fortune of the author. After
this came “OliverTwist,” “Nicholas Nick
leby,” “Old Curiosity Shop,” and “Bamaby
Rudge." In 1812 Pickens visited Ameri
ca, and at his return to England published
his “American Notes,” In 1845 he wrote
his “Christ mas Carolin 1848 he assumed
the place of editor of the “Pally News,”
but did not remain long in that position.
"While there his “Pictures of Italy” were
published. In 1847 and 1818 “Domby and
Son” were printed in monthly numbers,
and in 1860 followed “David Copper
field.” That year lie commenced the
publication of a weekly paper called
“Household Words", which continued to
be published under his charge. In 1852
appeared ins “Child’s History of England,'1
and his story of “Hard irues,” in 1855
“Bleak House," and in 1858 and 1857 “Lit
tle Dorrltt" was given to the public. In j
186a he visited this country again and j
gave reading from his works, wnieh were
listened to with pleasure by large audi
ences. In 1858 he separated from his,
wife, by whom lie had several children, j
At his eh all* Jie was engaged upon his j
new novel “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,’’
but the summons came and left the work
unfinished.
The New Hampshire senatorial caucus
nominated Hon. A. H. Cragin for United
States Senator on the second ballot, and
all is serene in our sister State. The whole
number of votes east was 204, of which
Mr. Cragin received 109. Mr. Cragin will
he elected to the Senate to serve his second
term. He was first elected in 1805, and
his present term expires hi 1871. He is
an able and honest man, and bis return to
his place will be hailed with general satis
faction.
THE CONSTANTINOPLE: ETHEL
The great fire at Constantinople, of
which the despatches by cable gave intel
ligence, is one of the most extensive and
destructive to life and property known in
modern times. The loss of several hun
dreds of lives, many thousands of build
ings, and more than a thousand million
dollars worth of property, is the report
that reaches us." What the conflagration
must have been to cause such disaster we
can only conjecture. The lire appears to
have been principally in the Pera district,
which was mostly occupied by Europeans,
and was built in modern style and with
modern improvements.
Conflagrations are by no means inlro
quent in < 'onstantinoph*. The destruction
oi one or two thousand houses at a time is
a common affair in the history of the city.
The crooked, narrow streets, closely
crowded with buildings, afford the best
field for the devouring element to work in,
while the means of extinguishing fire
are of the poorest. After some of the
heavy fires many of the streets were wi
dened in the burnt districts, but the slug
gish Turk could not be induced even by j
repeated scourging* to provide suitable
means for the prevention and extinction of
fires, and probably to this lack is due the
present catastrophe. In a volume pub
lished in 1807 an American writer speaks
of the lack of improvement in the mode of
extinguishing tire. "Xo city” says he,
•■coyId bo much worse off in this respect.
There o r two fire-tower- on the highest
point ou each side of the Golden Horn.
One of these is an old G-onoese fortification
in Ga da; the other is a Turkish structure,
njkei effective than otherwise, as it soar*
suk oral,huikh ed feet above tie .voter. In
. ihi! galleries of these towers watchmen
walk day nhd night spy-glass in hand.
On live disco very of a Urea re ’.ball ishoist
, cd in the day-time, and a red lantern a(
night, from a flag-staff above, and guns are
also fired from a battery on the Bosphorus.
The alarm is then given to all the police
[ stations, and runners are sent throughout
the city and its suburbs who call attention
by beating the pavement with iron-ehod
staves, and follow this by crying “ Yangon
\ Far,” ‘‘There is fire !” giving out also the
location of the conflagration. Nothing
: can be more impressive than this alarm
j ringing far and wide throught the silent
streets at dead of night and bringing terror
to many a heart. I remember hearing this
cry five times on a wild winter’s night in
my boyhood, and on ntshyig up to the. top
of the house, seeing the sky.ablaze like
an oven and the snow-covered roofs red as
blood, while the crash of falling houses,
and the shouts and shrieks of multitudes as
in a battle, mingled with the warring
sounds of the elements. Eighteen hun
dred houses were destroyed that night.
As soon as the alarm is given the fire en
gines are borne to the scene of action;
but they are of little use, for they are only
three or four feet square, small enough to
be carried on the shoulders of the firemen
who rush through the narrow streets strip
ped to the waist and yelling like demons.
These firemen receive little or no regular
pay, but, excepting a backsheesh at the
New Year, are dependent on the owners
of burning houses for the remuneration
of their services. The bargain goes on
amidst a vast deal of Oriental chaffering,
and ten to one before an agreement is
reached the. building in question has van
ished into smoke and ashes.”
Under such an inadequate system as this
for quenehing tires, Constantinople has
gone on suffering terribly for her neglect,
but not enough to cause her to adopt the
needed precautions and preventives.—
Their creed, which causes them to fold
their robes about them and submit them
selves to the. flames with heroic resignation
as the will of Allah, cripples their efforts
at self advancement or improvement, and
leaves them exposed to terrible dangers
which more confidence in themselves and
a feeling ot their own responsibility might
cause them to avoid.
PROTECTION FOR TIIE V01ER.
The act passed by Congress to enforce
the Fifteenth Amendment, thereby affbrd
ing protection to the colored men of the
[ country and the white men of New York
and elsewhere that “repeaters” and other
frauds upon honest voters are found, is
meeting with violent opposition from
the democracy. “Gentlemen” said a
thief caught in the act of stealing
and arrested, “I protest against this in
vasion or my rights and abridgement of
my freedom, ami would have you to un
derstand that this a free country.” It is
only those who practice'cheating and vil
lainy that complain of laws to curtail them.
This law is so important that we give an
extended abstract so that its provisions may
he understood.
All citizens of the United States otherwise
qualified are allowed to vote at all popular
elections, without distinction of race, color,
or previous condition of servitude.
Persons required by any State law or con
stitution to furnish electors facilities to per
form prerequsite duties, to qualify them to
become voters, as to register their names,
for instance, and who shall refuse to furnish
those tacilities and shall prevent qualified
voters from voting, shall pay the party ug
grieved $5XK). and he fined not less than
$5000, or imprisonment not less than one
month or more than a year.
Where the laws or constitution of a State
require anything to be done before a party
can vote, and he has been prevented by
threats or intimidations, he shall ho entitled
to vote the same as if he had done what is re
quired. The parties preventing are punished
us in the former ease.
Penalties are provided expressly against
those who hinder one who is doing an act to
qualify him to vote, or obstructing one who
has the right to vote under the Fifteenth
Amendment; and a conspiracy of two or
more persons to violate the provisions of the
act, is published as indicated in the first sec
tion.
bribery, intimidation or threats' against any
one entitled to vote; such as ejecting them
from rented houses; discharging them from
employment, threats of violence to family,
&c., to influence their votes, is punishuble as
above.
Persons who band together or go in dis
guise on the public highway or premises of
another, and violate the provisions of this
act arc declared guilty of a felony, and may
on conviction be fined $3,000 and imprison
ed not to exceed ten years, and are declared
ineligible to hold any office of honor, profit
or trust created by the laws or constitution of
the United .States.
United States District and Circuit Courts
have exclusive jurisdiction of their case.
District Attorneys, United States Marshals
and Court Commissioners are authorized and
required to institute proceedings, and en
force this law ; and the refusal of a Marshal
or Deputy to execute a warrant duly issued
under the 1 w subjects him to penalty of a
fine of $1,000. He may call on by-standers
to assist him, or on the land or naval forces
of the United States. An attempt to rescue
a prisoner or to obstruct an officer is punish
ed by a fine of $1,000, or imprisonment for
not more than six months.
District Attorneys may proceed by quo
warranto against any one, except members of
Congress or of the State Legislature, who
are holding office contrary to the provision of
the third section of the Fourteenth Amend
ment, and such persons urc made amenable to
fine and imprisonment.
The right of all persons to make and en
force contracts is set forth in strong lan
guage, and protected by stringent penalties.
No tax shall be imposed on any foreigners
from one country not imposed on immigrants
from alt countries. This is to protect Chi
nese in California. An attempt to enforce
any State law in violation of this act and
: making u distinction on account of such per
' sons being aliens, or because of race or color,
1 ik punishable by a tine of $1,000, or imprison
ment not to exceed one or year, both. The
I Civil Hights bill of April 9, IMKOis re-enacted,
j Fraudulent vuting and “repeating;” per
sonating others at the polls; intimidation or
bribery ot electors ; forging of p ipers or cer
tificates ; knowingly receiving fraudulent
j votes, or retuning to receive votes of qualified
; electors, subject offenders to $5(X» tine, or
Imprisonment not to exceed three years.
I 1 hen is the same punishment for those guilty
1 j of fradulcntly registering or n fusing to al
, : low, or attempting to prevent, the registering
, of a voter, officers who violate any duty
1 imposed by this law. and neglect to perform
i these duties, are to be punished as above, on
i conviction.
it is further provided that any person de
prived of an election (except electors of Pres
ident. Vice-President, Member of Congress,
t or ale- - enure ) by reason of the denial of liii
right to any person who shall offer to vote on
account of race, color, &c.. then, in case
the title of office arises from such denial,
the United States courts shall have jurisdic
tion concurrent with the State courts to de
cide as to the right to said office.
The penalties for violation of this law arc
severe; but none should complain of a law
enacted to preserve the purity of the ballot
box. Fraudulent voting, and obstructing
legal voters in the exercise of their rights are
the gravest crimes that can be perpetrated in
a free country.

The Brunswick Telegraph says that at one
of tlie last cliniques at Bowdoin. Dr. Green
introduced a private patient before the class,
a young girl 14 or 15 years of age, who, when
he took her ease in hand was a sight almost
frightful to behold. Shs had been ill and un
der the treatment of a quack. We cannot of
course undertake to say in what way the dis
ease had assumed the form which it did; hut
the result was that her face was attacked and
she lost the most or the whole of her nose,
her mouth was left all awry, and her face so
disfigured that she hardly presented the aspect
of a human being. His first work was to
form a new nose and then to operate so as to
bring the mouth into form. At the time she
came before the class, she was another and
different being from the one which lie had
described, and the Dr. had not then com
pleted his series of operations. Suffice it to
say that her face looked quite natural, and
l)r. Green predicts that when he completes
his surgical worksite will hardly lie recog
nised. Of course the scars where the knife
has passed to obtain the material to renew the
lost tissues, will remain, but they are much
smaller than one would suppose, to effect so
great a change. This is indeed a most re
markable example of plastic surgery and re
flects the highest credit on Dr. Green’s skill
as an operator.
