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. OENEkAh JSEWS. Only one thousand couples were divorced jn Ohio last year. A correspondent says that “Jerusalem the golden” is now “Jerusalem the filthy.” Hon. John Morrissey has a half dozen as pirants for his seat in the next Congress. The peppermint of Michigan is represented to bo an entire crop failure. Lord Courtenay is the last aristocratic bank- : rupt. He was ruined by betting on horse races. Large quantities of potatoes are annually used in Minnesota for manufacturing potato whiskey.

The Ashtabula (Ohio) Sentinel denies the. statement that has been floating around the country that Ben Wade is a candidate for Congress from Mr. Garfield’s district. The Cunard steamer Tripoli went ashore off Cohasset in attempting to make Boston harbor but was got ofl in the evening. The vessel was injured somewhat, but not se riously. Of the nineteen Congressmen from Ohio thirteen are Republicans. The Democracy of the State will make strenuous efforts this fall to obtain a majority of the delegation. It is reported that the future management of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway is tube deligated to nine directors, and that Gen eral McClellan will be elected president for a term of three years.

France has one to every twenty-six, Great Britian one to every nine, the United States one, to every eiglity-one. Illinois has one mile of railroad to every 764 inhabitants. The first outcry against Ilyacinthc was caused by his liberal sermons at Notre Dame; and l’ere Felix, his celebrated successor, has been driven from the pulpit for the same cause. The name of the pastry cook at the Patee House, St. Joseph, Mo.,who has fallen heir to a fortune, is Charles McLain Grey, and the papers now call him “Mr.” Grey. The prop erty is mostly about Parkersburg, Va., and is valued at 8120,000. If half the pains were taken by some peo ple to perform the labors allotted to them that are taken by them to avoid it, we should hear much less said about the troubles of life, and sec much more actually completed. • SJomestic Nctos. The Journal lays a lady of Belfast hast just experienced a rare instance of the persistent workings of conscience. Fifty-two years ago a young girl lived in her family, and, as ap pears from her confession, stole an article of no great value. Within a few weeks the lady has received a letter from that girl, now an elderly lady living in Massachusetts, en closing a sum of money to make restitution for a wong done more than half a century ago! Mr. A. Bennett, who is engaged in driving the spiling for the railroad track across the flats, is using an axe made of the Sherman steel manufactured at Bucksport. The Bel fast Journal says he has put it into all knots of wood, including hemlock knots, with an occasional collision with spikes, &c., and says he never saw an axe stand hard usage and cut so well. He believes in Sherman and his in vention. The mills, mill privilege and adjoining property, lately owned by Geo.

The following res olution was offered by Mr. Taylor of Nor ridgewock : Ilesolred. TITht at the commencement ol the past year, many doubts and fears were entertained in relation to the future success of our_ road, yet we have passed through the same, and our prospects having daily improv ed, we have now full confidence in the entire success and early completion of the same. And we do hereby instruct our Directors to push the road to completion, at as early a day as practicable, and to immediately proceed to enforce the collection of all delinquent sub scriptions, to this end, in the most practical manner. The resolution was unanimously adopted. The proprietor of the Skowhegan Trotting Park, Mr. S. B. Brewster, announces a trot, Saturday afternoon, June 15th. There will be two purses amounting to 8125. The State Convention Delegates from the town of Madison are Messrs. Ezra Dinsmore, L. Powers, T. E. Salley and Dinsmore Cleveland. The Somerset Reporter says they express a preference for Mr. Perliam. 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. At the annual meeting of the Knox County Medical Association, recently held at Rock land, the following were elected as officers for the ensuing year: Joseph II. Estabrook, President; Daniel Rose, Vice President; Thomas Frye, Treasurer; II. C. Levensaler, Secretary; William A. Banks, John B. Wal ker, Win. A. Albee, Standing Committee.

Estabrook of Rock land, was appointed to deliver the address at the next annual meeting of the Association. The Portland press understands that Capt. Knight's new Sunday paper—The Star—to take the place of the Sunday Advertiser, will not appear until Sunday, the 19th, on account of the impossibility of getting all things sea sonably in shape in the new establishment. It is proposed to give the paper an entire new dress and renovate it thoroughly. Capt. Knight is going into the work with vigor, and lie will give the people of Portland a Sunday morning paper, that will soon become indis pensable. The Hath Times says the town of West port, containing over 1200 inhabitants, has neither grog-shop, lawyer, minister nor doc tor, and as a natural consequence its people are an industrious, temperate, law-abiding and God-fearing community. * Would we could chronicle more Westports! The following is a list of delegates to the llcpublican State Convention, from Bidde ford: K. II. Banks, B. F. Hamilton, J. E. Butler, W. F. I.unt, Ira Andrews, G. II. Knowlton, E. II. C.
