TELE FIRE.

Loss About $150.

This morning about 5 o'clock Are broke out in a stable belonging to Mr. William Joab, situated in the rear of a lot occupied by Mr. Ohm, a grocery on the southeast corner of Second and Vine- The department was promptly out and succeeded in saving adjoining property from serious damage. A cooper shoji was burnt some, and another stable south, singed, but no further loss to any thing except the stable, was occasion

Mr. Ohm succeeded in saving his horse and wagon, and an old set of harness. Harness makers will be pleased to learn that Lis new sot was destroyed,and that ho will have to buy another.

Mr. Joab's property JS insured wuh Wharton A' Riddle, and ho will suffer

no loss. Prom Mr. Ohm, the GAZETTEER learned tho following theory relative te the cause:

Last night about twelve o'clock, some man, a stranger, cal.ed at the house of Mr. Gordon on the cor» ner and requested to be allowed to sleep there all night. Mr. Gardner told him that he had no vacant place. The man then asked to be allowed to to sleep in the stable but this, also, Mr. Gardner declined to allow and recommended the Station house to the man as a place where he could get both board and lodging. The man then left, and it is supposed, secreted himself in Mr. Ohm's barn which was near at hand. Shortly before tho tire, a man was seen running across the vacant lots opposite. Wuether the work was done through inalico or mistake, is not known.

Councilman J. E. Glover rceeives bi3 Friends. On last evening Councilman J. E Glover and lady received a hos.t of friends at their residence on the corner ot Sixteenth and College streets, in honor of the twenty-filth recurrence of ttieir wedding day. A number of Mr. "Glover's associates in the mills, and among them Presint Nippert and other officers, together witn irlev. Read, of tho Mission Church, graced the occasion witu their presence.

The bounty prepared wa3 so liberal, so tastefully arranged and so palata^ ble and the hospitality extended so genuine and true,' that all could not help but wish that each period ot twenty-five years might rush ar.iuni rapidly and that this pleasant couple be spared to entertain on a dozen more such occasions.

Mrs. Hamaston's Bakery. This morning between 10 and 11 o'clock, the Fourth street bakery of Mrs. Humaston was imperiled. Cooking goas on all night. The bakers us~ ually pull out some ashes and place them in a "proof box." or receptacle for the "sponge," while raising. This morning tne ashes were allowed to ro main in there alter the usual time,and, bv some means, ignited the box. A bright blaze shot out ot the' box and wa3 succeeded by coulds of smoko which for a time prevented the persons attending from discovering the souroo or cause of the dames. Mr, Irwing Riddle, who happened to be in the front room dashed a bucket of dirty water onto tho proof box and with the assistance of ona or two others promptly extinguished the flames before oven our unusually prompt fire department was able to in a a a an

The moral of ibis story is, that it is always well to have au insure nee agent about the houso. They take so much interest iu squeichiug fires, and really seem to go at it with all tho f«-esh. youthful ardour and vigor of a steam sbovelcr in saady soil.

Some Dattlo from Bull Pen. That delightfal dive, the "Bull Pen," was the scene of a lively^Bkirmish last evening, in which Francis Lewis received rather rough usage at the bands ©f Thomas Brown. All the parties were before the Mayor this morning. BrOwn and his wife on charge ot fighting, and Francis Lewi? and Mary Minnick as prosecuting witnesse.s* ..

The woman Lewis testified that Brown had met her in the back yard, and had applied to her numerous apoil rkf nrhinh Micc

he had kicked and pounded her around in a lively style for several minutes. After Brown bad desertt d, his wile sailed in, and in attempting to pulverize Miss Lewis with a board, she inflicted an ugly wound on the cranium of that ancient and physically and morally dilapidated female, Mary Minnick. The board glanced from tbe head of Mrs. M. and struck a mirror,

breaking

af-

it into a thousand pieces.

Tom Brown was fined $1.00 and costs, but his wife'was discharged. This "Bull Pen" is the source of more trouble and annoyance to the police, th»n all other disreputable hunses in the city: The arrests were made by Officer Vanaever.

TUBS BKiKEN.

A Singular Mishap.

Yesterday morning about 11 o'clock, Wm. Bennett, a workman at the nail mills not being particularly busy went over to the furnace of his neighbor, David Phillips, and they commenced a hMeodiy wrestle. Phillips grappled him around^tbo waist and lifted him oft bis feet, squeezed him tightly-* and let him down. Bennett felt very sick, and weak, and sat down saying to Phillips that his ribs were broken. Phillips thought he was joking, but the man getting no better,a doctor was called, and ho was removed to his houK« where it was ascertained that two of his lower and short ribs had been broken. He is resting tolerably easy to-day^

AN amusing double error occured in last night's GAZETTE in a little thrust

at the

[Concluded from second page.] evry style of humbug. He makes hypocracy so deformed, so monstrous, that his hypocrite almost ceases to resemble a man, resembline more some masquerade figure, whose nose i3 greater than its head. Every reader of Dickens, and I take it for granted that everybody here to-night reads Diokens has his or her favorite character. Some like honest Sam. Weller the best others tbe mirth-provoking Dick Swiveller, and his friend, the Marchioness. Some like the accomplished, the epecurean, the dirty, tho doligbtful Mr. Micawbor the best, with his moral and commercial reflections and magnificent ideas on finaiaceMrs. Sairey Gamp has her friends. Mr. Squeers is very much admired—by school boys—surely there is a warm piace iu every heart for Mr. Pickwick, while we all, all love AgneaJ Thore is, by the way, a striking liknesa of Mr. Quilp, residing on east Main street, in this city. Now I don't know but my favorite is Mr Pecksniff. He is csrtainly the best dolineation of genuine hypocrisy, coupled with concentrated meanness in the whole raage of fiction. Th« re i3 such a sublimity iu his meanness, such an intensity in his hypocrisy. It makes him perfectly charming. Mr. Pecksniff, with hia moral phrases and sentimental action, pointing his visitor to "my portrait by Spiker, bust of Spoker.1' Ho names his two daughters Mercy and Charity. They are gushing-young creatures. Mr. Pecksniff is so tender, so kind he gives vent to such highly domestic effusions. He innocently exhibits, when visited, such eharming domestic scoi.es. He displays his paternal heart, his martial sentiments, the kindly feeling of a •jood houso mast, r, The family virtues aro honored now* tdays, therefore 1 must make a greater dress parade ol them. Mr. Pecksniff talks like the language we sometimes find in thfplatform of a modern state political convention just about as obscure, and just, about as wordy, windy and em* phatic. At times ho soars above the eu-th, in the region of pure ideas, in the bosom of truth. Ho declaims glit» tering generalities on every possible occasion, and finds a high moral lesson in the ham and eggs he lias jast eaten. He says: "Even the worldly goods, of which we have just disposed, even they have thoia moral. See how they the come and go, every pleasure is transatory. The process ot' digestion, as I have been informed by anatomical lriend3, is one of the most wonderiul works oi nature. I do not know now it may be with others, but it is a great satisfaction lor me to know, when regaling on my humble fare, that 1 am putting in motion the most beautiful machinery with which "we have any acquaintance.

I really feel at such times as if I was doing a public service. When I have wound myself up, if I may employ such a term, said Mr. Pecksniff, with exquisite tenderness, and I know that I am going, I feel that in tbe lesson afforded by the works within me, I am a nefactor of my kiiid and as he folds his napkin he rises to lofty contemplation.

His poor satellite and follower, Tom Pinch, reverences his protector, Mr. Pecksniff, with reverence almost bordering on veneration, but afierwards —ah! atterwards (he spell is broken— scales fall lroin

our

ojoo

"Tom Pinch disabused, at last discovers that his master is a hypocritical rogue. fivir.heGn used to steep thf3'Pecksniff of his tau^—-~ kiq tea, and spread him out upon his toast, and taka him as a relish with his beer, that he made bat a poor breakfast OB tbe first morning {fitter hi3 expulsion."

Mr. Thackeray, who may be said to have divided with Mr. Dickens, iu their lifetime, although unequally, the popularity of being the groatost of living novelists, in ono of bis admiiable lectures upon tho "English Humorist," in spoaking of hi3 great cotemporary, said: "Was there ever a better charity sermon preached iu the world than Dick ens' Christmas carol. I believe that occasioned immense hospitality throughout' England, and was the means of lightning up hundreds of kind fires at Christmas times caused a wonderful outpouring of Christmas good feeling, of Christmas punchbrew ing, an awtul slaughter of Christmas turkeys, and roasting and basting of Christmas boef."

A very practical Frenchmen of distinction, Malhorbe, on hearin prose work of great merit highly extolled, dryly asked, "Will it reduce the price of bread?" Neither was his appreciation of poetry much higher, when ho observed that a good poet was of no more servico to the churh or State than a good playor at "nine pins!" If none of Mr. Dicken's works can have been said to have reduced the price of bread, it can bo said of some ot them that they inculcated lessons of that sweet character, which alone (to use his own words,) could "lighten the lot of those rejected ones whom the world has too long forgotten, and too often misused."

I do not consider it e'ther floling or appropriate that I should this eveuiu attempt even a brief biography of Mr. Diekens,*or a summary of his literary career. Anything which I could say

would,

of necessity, be but a rehash

from his published life, the particulars of which, I apprehend, are as familiar doubtless, to most of you as to myself. In fact, wore I disposod to attempt this I certainly could accomplish nothing which would be of any value to you iu the brief hour allotted to me this evening. Suffice it to say that the glorious

sun

of his genius first showed itaelf to the world with the publication of his "Sketches by Boz," writton by him when a mere youUi. His "Pickwick Papers,' with its style so fresh and novel, pub lished when he attained his twenty fifth year, gave him immortality, and stamped him at once as t'ie most fascinating, humorous and popular author of bis day, the book being read or I should rather say devoured, by readers of all classes, and every rank in society. It is said that tho reason that Mr. Dickens never gave a second sories of "Pickwick papers," as it was hoped he would do, is explained by the lact that a man is twenty-five years old but once in his life.

For

funny man of tho Mail, which,-

no doubt, he is anxious to make fun of but cannot, for a week yet. The writer wa* clear out of line in attributing "Saint's Rest," the production of the religious and prolific Baxter, to Jeremy Tavlor and the printer made the error douqlv ridiculous by ealling Mr. Tay* lor. ^Jeremlah.J' -All arcuod, it was a heartiess thrust at a man, considering that he is deadend is unable to defend himself.

genuine humor, for nnflaggirg

mer/iment,

tl^e pages of Pickwick aro

certainly unsurpassed. Mr. Pickwick is such a good-hearted, kindly, ridiculous old gentleman somewhat of a bland blockhead. He commences his career in the book as a kind of a butt, he ends almost as a hero. His three friends are very amusing characters in their way. His frieud, Mr. Tupmsn, has a tendency to loosa his head when in company with.Qno of tbe soiter sex, in fact this pleasing" tendency- of his

amounts

to ft positive weakness. Mr.'

Winkle is asportisg charaetar a sporting character that can either ride, shoot or skate. His other friend and followor, Mr. Suodgrass is a poet, that is. he is reputed to be a great pcet senong his friends and acquaintances, although no one ever found anything he had ever written to

such be

lief. Sam Weller and his father are immortal, but I shall not attempt to do justice to them. The trial scene, in tne celebrated breach of promise of marriage case of Bardell, vs Pickwick, together with the famous speech of Sergeant Buzfuz, the counsel for the plaintiff in this celebrated case, has become classic. Mr. James L. Fields, of Boston, in his. entertaining work, entitled, ^'Yesterdays with Authors,". relates that be once

a very

black old-gentleman full of dogmatism, egotism and rbeunaatisni,who

Complained that Dickens had too much "exuberent sociality," in bis books for him, and be wondered how any one could get through Pickwick. He was, doubtless, one of those gentlemen whe acted as if he felt life would be uninduraole but

Illustrative ot this same disagreeable snobbery, a gentleman of this city, one to whom \Ve are indebted for a very interesting lecture of tho present course, gavo me the other day a little incident, which I don't think has beon published. During Mr. Dickens' same visit to this country, he happened to be at a small town in western Illinois, opposite St. Louis, while circuit court was in session, Judge Breeze being upon the benoh. He was invited to go into the court house 'and witness the proceedings of an American court of justice, held in a country town. He replied that he would go in, but on upon condition that he should sit upon the bench beside the judge, not wish ing any personal contact with the lawyers and other rabble below. Judge Breeze didn't propose to encourage such snobbery, and Mr: Dickens did not visit the court room. But to-nii:ht we deal with Mr- Dickons as tho author and not the man.

-fi

for

it3 pleasures,

sought

consolation

In the "Sorrows of Wertner," or Hervey's Meditations."

I ahall attempt this evening to make no comment upon tho personal characteristics of Mr. Dickens or relate any of tho very "mild" anecdotes told of him. Then he, unfortunately, bad in his composition some weakness oi character, which has not escaped public attention. Among his other weaknesses it muEt be admitted that he would occasionally exhibit that o"ensive snobbishness, which we Americans regard as so peculiarly "English."

The Louisville Courier-Journal relates that when Mr. Dickons camo to that city.during bis first visit to America in 1842, be stopped at the Gait House, whose landlord, Major Throckmorton, was a]bigh-strung_Southernerj a man of some character and influence, and tne gaming-table intimate of Mr. Ciay, Chittenden, and other Kentucky worthies. Mr. Dickons was not long at tho house when Major Throckmorton called at his room and very politely proffered his sorvices in introducing him to the first families of Kentucky. "Sir, are you the publican who keeps tnis inn?" inquired Mr. Dickens. I am, said Mxjor Throckmorton. "Then, sir," saij Mr. Dickens, "when I have need of your services I will ring for you."

V? S!

In the fair field of modern romance he is tbe confessed Napoleon. Future ages will regard his writings aj the best photographs of middle and lower class life in England during the Victorian era. In other novels of that period aristocratic society is sketched, but it is safe to say that but few, with tho possible exception of Bulwer and Thackery will be read in the twentieth century. IIi3 works are so fresh, so picturesque, so true, that they must live as pictures of the ago that produced them.
