CABLE news. London, 10. The Globe in its last-edition last-edition this evening, startled the com munity with the announcement that Charles Dickens had been seized with paralysis, and was lying insensible at his residence at Gadshill, near Rochester, Ro-chester, Kent. Tho news spread rapidly, rap-idly, and ceated most profound regret. The worst was sti 1 to come. Tele-giams Tele-giams were read announcing the death of the great novelist, at a quarter past six in the evening. . . Mr. Dickens was at dinner on Wednesday, Wed-nesday, when he was seized with a tit. Dri Steele, for many years family physician, was immediately called, and remained till near midnight, his condition condi-tion growing worse and worse. It was deemad advisable, to summon physicians physi-cians from London, and tulegiams were dispatched, and yesteiday morning, several London physicians arrived and a consultation was held. The case was at o .ce pronounced hopeless. The patient sank gradually, and died at fifteen fif-teen minutes past six-. six-. D ckeus had been ill fir several days, but not seriously. He had even visited visit-ed Rochester and other points, during the present week. The death of Dickens ras plunged the nation into mourning. All the London papers have obituaries. The Umax says: ordinary expressions of regret re-gret are now cold. Millions of people feel a personal bereavement. statesmen, states-men, savuns and benefactors of the race, when they die, can leave no such void. Xhey cannot, like this great novelist, have been an inmate of every house. The Neics says: "Without intellectual intellec-tual pedigree, his writings form an era In English literature. He was generous, gener-ous, loving and universally bebved. He leaves, like Thaekery, an.unriui.shed story. The Morning PoH says: Charles Dickens did more than any contemporary contempo-rary to make English literature hked and admired. . . The 'Ith'ffroj'h regards the distinguished disting-uished dead as-a public servanS whose tak is nobly fulfilled.
