From the London Telegraph. Tlie public will learn with satisfaction that, for the present at least, no strange owner will take possession of the In m-eat fiadshill, famous as the residence of Chas. Dickens. The property was put up for sale by auction yes tenia y by Ml. Tii.-t. of the firm of Norton, Trial k. Walney, at the mart in Tokenhouse-yard, and was bought in by Mr. Charles Dickens, the eldest son of tlie late distinguished novel ist, for cC 500. It was scarcely to be ex perted that any thing like the same enger n te would be shown to get possesion nf this house as was exhibited to secure some one or more of the articles of vert it which belonged to Mr. Dickens. An American genilcinqn had, it is said, set his mini! ou purchasing the Swiss chalet. Ly iifi i -rearni f n rrnrnt- ol t but lite ex. cntore and auctioneers lie eided in Include it in the same parcel as 'be lesidetiee and1 ground. The attend mite at the loottis was not uiucb larjtei i him at sales of ordinary property. Mr. Chatle- Dickens occupied a front seat near the auctioneer. Mr. Tiist began lh plo eeedi.ngs ol the sale by saying lhat it was unnecessary for him to attempt to add any n m nks of his to the praise that had I. eon written of Mr. Dickens in il his woiks It was ennrtglt for present pur p. sis m state that Mr. Dickens lived at (jiiilshill for many years, and that tin pii.ee was likewise famous as a scene itn moitalizirl hv Shakespeare.

Having nieutioniil the gardens, he proceeded lo say that he hail liecnaskul In detach the Swiss chalet, which was pnsenleil lo Mr..

The lute Mr. Dickens must have, spent thous ands nf pounds upon it ; lind he did not think lhat auy one entering ou it reml spend an additional shilling. What should he ask for this property I It had been reported that an American gentle man as den i mint d to have it at any price ; but he trusted, for the honor of this country, that an Englishman would become the pnssesoif ' estate which belonged- to Charles Dickens. IL- bud been told they would get 20.000 for it. Should be commence with .10.0(10 .' No answer. .C,000 ? Still nn offer What was it their pleasure to. -start with ? A voice t "1 will give you five thousand pounds." Five thousand pounds offered five thousand five hundred six thousand-six thousand one hundred -and so on, by the silent nods of bidders, up to six thousand six hundred pounds, and then a pause. In vain did Mr. Trist try all the varied forms of the auctioneer's art to secure a higher offer. They would not go mi. And so the hammer fell to a bid by a gentleman who was acting for Mi Charles Dickens. A plot of eight acres of land, forming part uf the estate, was k.. I... m. i ,:..i. ...... e jh -no.

It is like a dream. You have but little heed of time, and no understanding of its flight. The strange scene grows melancholy ia its sensation, when we ramble ou, passing relics of hu man life ; the stone ritu of the exhausted well, worn by the bit ket tope ; die marks of the carriage wheel iu the narrow sireels; the places for drinking vessels on marble couutc: s f the wine shop ; the amphora, iu private cellars, hundreds of years ago put away ; the miller's wheel and his oven, where for two thousand years lay his last baking ; the hnnse of Diodetncs, where skeletons were found huddled to gether near the door, as if attempting to e-cape, shrunke i inside to scanty bones, and hardened with ashes - are scenes of this ghostly city, awfully impressive and solemn. Moving on, both, amphitheatres and temples, where l-lie gods were wont to I worsht) ped by the priests, dimly show the revelry of pleasure, the pursuit ol games, and the superstitious adoration of lhat elysian age.

First Instance of the Execution of a lie brew in the United States He die De claring his Innocence. . .-. . i ' . Norfolk, O, (3d) 8peial lo Cincinnyti Com- sasssiaLj At 2 o'clock this afternoon Bennett Scorns was executed for the murder of Ja cob Ooodraau, near Monmeville, in this h ,,f ,l,e' murderer and his victim being Hebrew and this being the first hanging of a Hebrew in the United Stales 8cope was a polish Jew, about twenty- live years of age. Ooodman had taken him as an apprentice lo learn the peddling business, and the murder was for the pur pose of gaining possession of Goodman's learn and money. The Hebrews ol this vicinity interested themselves strongly in Scope's behalf aud the Governor was be sei with petit ion lor reprieve, but the ev idence, though entirely circnmtutiul,was loo damning to wartant iutei fcreucu and the law took its course. Scope has been faithfully attended by Dr. Mayer, a Hebrew rabbi, nf Cleveland, who was with him iu his last moments. lie has obstinately persisted in asserting his innocence, and on the scaffold, eveu after the cap was drawn over his faee, he reiterated ins assertion unit ne was an in nocent man. The prisoner from the first has manifested a singular insensibility to the fate before him, and on the scaffold conducted himself with cxemplnry firm ness and decorum. While being pinion ed, after his ankles, legs and arms had been tied, and while a fourth cord waa being passed around his shoulders and chesty he rinarked with a laugh, "How many ropes to kill a little fellow like me!" The execution took place inside the jail, and Sheriff 'nip deserves credit f ir the manner in which it was conducted. The rope used was a very large one, and was used ou several sum! ir occasions in t levelled. The body had a fall of six feet, a id not a muscle was moved after the drop f II. A few hundred people were a'sembled on the outside, but the huge multitude ol half-savage bipnd usu ally attendant upon such scenes were uot to be seen. ' j - Scope has tarn brothers, a brother-in-l.iw n ml sister living in Buffalo, who ltWftk'l'.WymrJy4ri Mfy rttty'rWiftetrttt come t 8fo hiiu or receive the notiy, out agree. 1 to make up twenty five dollars if a reprieve could be obtained for that sum. Scope kissed the Sin tiff and two other friends ji.ft bef .re the cap was drawn over his face. Recognising Auditor Randolph, who stood on a platform above the scaf fold, he stepped forward and kissed his hand. Bv reauest of thu prisoner, a while rap was used instead of a black me He also made a special request to have his hair dressed before being hung. He wore a shirt, 011 the tail of which he kid caused .0 he written the names of some twenty or thirty persons w-ho had visited him and hei 11 kind to him. He exhibited this queer allium fo one of llie reporters who conversed' with him, and asked him In write his name along with the rest, Mr. Ryan, of this place, called tn see 'cope during the forenoon, hade him good bye, and gave him a gold riug which he wore at his death. Scope's bearing 011 the seaffold, and his reiterated aiiiTsriFinn 'aseerf ions of Inno cence, right - in ihe face of death, have somewhat weakened the general belief in his guilt, and many now think t nil, des pile the conclusive proof, he was innocent of the murder of Jacob Goodman. i -mn- -4 IlESPwdr'Tiix Aoao.i Many an old person has the pain not bodily, hut shut, par still of filling himself in tlie way Siims one wants his. place His very chair in the chimney corner is grudged him. He ia a burden to a sou or daugh ter. The very arm which props him is taken away from some productive labor. As he sits at the table, his own guests are too idle or two unkind to make him a sharer in their mirth. They grudge ihe trouble of that rui-cd voice which alone could make him one of them ; aud when he speaks, it is only to be put aside ss ig norant, or despised as old-fashioned and obselete. Oh, little do yrtnnger persons know their power of giving pain or pleas ure ! It is a pain for any man still iu this world to be made to feel that he is 110 lodger of it to be driven in upon his own little world of conscious isolation and bur ied enjoyment.

In the mean lime, the pulses of the two experimenters were mnch accelerated : that of Guy-Lus- sae, otherwise always slow, 62 beats per minute, was 80 ; and that or Htot, nata r illy rapid, 79 beats per minute, was lil At a height of 1 1,00 feet a pigeon waa lib crated ; it dropped down whirling througl the air as if it had been stone The air was too l bin, too much rarefied to so- able it to fly. I hree weeks later, Guy Lussac went up alone, and attained the height of 23,000 feet, four and one sixth miles or too thousand feet higher than the top of C huuborazn Mountain. Aha bar ometer was only thirteen inches high, tlie thermometer 18deg.-ces fahreuheit be low the freezing point, while at the sur face of the ground it was 80 degrees. He left the court-yard of the Conservatire des Aula el Metiers, in Paris, and after an serial voyage of six hours, descended near Rousen, oue hundred miles distant. The result nf this ascension on Guy-Lussac's health was very injurious, partially by the want of air for respiration, combine with sudden cold, but chiefly by the ab sence of the accus'omed pressure. At the extreme height of 22,000 feet his face and neck were swollen euormonsly, his eyes protruded from his head, blood ran from his eyelids, nose and ears, and also ci me from his lungs, by vomiting; iu short, his system received a shock from which he never fully recovered the rest of his life' A WOMAN'S IDEA OF WHAT A KITCHEN 8HOULD BE. From the Revolution. To begin with I would have a kitchen well lighted ; soir.e, yes, a gieat deal of tfrnnfy.-Tts lt-n na'd perfect right 'to fie 1 here. That would, of course, necessitate large windows, and theu I would give as much attention to the veulil.itiou of a kitchen as I would do a sleeping-room. I would have a large circular device sus pended over the cooking-stove with a hole in the centre, and a tube leading to the top of the home, to carry off tlie savory smell which the process of cooking gen erates, aud prevent them from permeating the house. For these smells, however savory and agreeable, are apt to takeaway something from the keenness of our appetite; or, at least cause us to anticipate 'something bet ter than tlie reality. Then I would have a large sink, with a permanent soapstoue or marble wash-bowt for washing the dish es, and another for draining. I wouhl al so have an adjustable pipe leading from the hot-water tank to either of these ba sins; Besides this I would have sundry cupboards and closets ananged on the Wall, so as to be tasteful and decorative, as well as useful aud convenient Then I would have a space devoted to tiny drawers, such as one sees in a dmg store, and labelled in this manner : Soda, allspice, nutmegs, cream of tanar, etc., so that at a single glance I could discover just what I wanted, without rummaging to find these things in some out-of-the-way corner, placed tin re by some untidy Brid get, This would save oue a world of care in, w devoted to instructing every new servant as to all places of things. Cooking is becoming so complicated now-a-days that one needs all the arrangements and as many utensils as a etien ic 1 labo ratory, aud the good archile t should give the mater famulias "a place for eve rything." The Grea HkaT or 1870 The pre sent year seems destined to be crowded with political and physical phenomena.

DARTMOUTH COLLEGE. Oeneroni and unselfish conduct should be honored a ad appreciated, no matter when or where. The course lately pur sued by a celebrated institu.ion of learn ing In the North, sfFords an Illustration directly in point. Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire, bas, for more than a cen tury, held a position not surpassed for science and discipline, and in the dislinc torical associations go far sack beyond the Be volution. Many of the mighty men of our country were educated there. It was the at ma matter of Webster, Wood bury, Choate, Cass, Red field, Woods, Per ly, besides a great many others, the first and foremost men of their day. This institution has lately done aa act, which shows that they who preside over its administrations are capable of rising above the prejudices and sectional feel ings which constitute, unfortunately, the bane of our lime. Dartmouth is Congre gational in its church tendencies highly C'alviuistic ia its theology. Yet it leas lately conferred upon one nf iu graduates ia this city, Hon. R. R. Heath, the high degree of LL. D. (Doctor of Laws.) Judge Heath is a member oi the Catholic Church. Dartmouth it in the extreme North, and concurs with ibe political sen timent of thst region in its political views. It preserves a "roll of honor of its sons who served iu the Northern army against the South Judge Heath waa a warm ud active advocate of the rights of the South, and abided the fortune of his sec tion and his people, as he had always said he would do. Dartmouth College, casting aside both religious and national prejudice, bas, with the aflection of a mother indeed, watched the progress and treasured the ability, mitral worth and growlug reputation 01 her far-distant son Judge Heath, and has bestowed 011 bim the highest of honorary degrees associated with secular pursoits. 1 he writer of this bas known Judge Heath for thirty years, and knows that the honor was worthily bestowed on him ; but it is uot for the purpose of compli menting, or drawing special attention to Judge Heath thai this is written. It is, that the proper degiee of honor and re spect may be awarded to old Dartmouth, for her noble and L'eneaus cours It nor political bitterness find an abiding place Withn her walls. It shows that she feels proud of the reputation and distinc tion of her sons, no matter where destiny may fix their abode. This compliment to Judge Heath is a very high one of which he may well feel proud. At the same time he may well feel proud of his time honored abna matter, Sot her mag nanimous course. JUSTICE.

Y.. were overheard the utbsr night, on the sidewalk, exchanging notes on the Franco-Prussian war. "I Know," said No. 1, "that France will beat, because the little Prince is with him." Go away with you." chimed in No. 2. "I know a mighty sight better. The Dutch will whip: for my pa ia a Frenchman and my ma is a Dutchman. They fight every night, aud ma always licks." Thb Cost or Wab. Tlie New York Herald states that the French Government has already received U 14,280.000 and has been permitted to issue $70,000,000 of additional treairarT bonds, in order lo carry on the war which has just be gun. The floating debt of France, which alrea dy amounts to $150,000,000, will doubtlessly be swollen ere long to at least $250,000,000. One hundred, and three millions six hundred and fifty thousand dollars have been demanded by Germany, including Prussia and Bavaria, But these large sums are but the initial expanses of a war which may yet cost an incalculable a mount of treasure as well aa an irrevocable loss of life. If other European nations are drawn into the maelstrom of war a result which is by no means improbable ihe aggregate of the ex penses of the; war will bt increased almost be yond the limit of calculation.

Baron Oarolt says that from information received from home he has reason to believe that King William, of Prussia has now ia saserve as many, if uot more, men than have been tiirht i t'L' ou the Prussian side.
