THE DAILY NEWS.
Holydays.
Oh. the sweet perfume of the spring-time,
The gorse and fields of cloth of gold,*
a he far-off kine, the wandering bee.
Sabbath on Sabbath wide unrolled.
Ay. fainter, fainter tbreugh my brain
The clink and clauk of rod and wheel,
As I sink down 'mid primrose copses.
An Eden's echoes round mo steal.
In the great game of life a wrestler,
I crave a little breathing time;
Heat, aching brain ; rest, toil-worn fingers,
And trifle with au idle rhyme.
At Nature's feet. Ah! lctusnestlo
Sweet wife and children, and forget
Our wilderness of smoky housetops
Life owes her martyrs such a debt.
In after years, when we grow sombro
My darlings, or when some are d??ad,
Love's mcm'ry will not quite let wither
These holydays EO brightly sped.
TUE DICKENS' FAMILY.
The Story of tue Late Mrs. Augustas
Dickens-Thc Statement tnat she Com?
mitted Suicide Probably Erroneous
How she Came to this Country, and
her Life ginee.
It appears that Mrs. Dickens, whose death
at Chicago bas been reported, d'd not commit
suicide. She had been in the habit of taking
morphine as a remedy for neuralgia, and al?
though first appearances indicated that the
act was premeditated, it now seems more prob?
able that it was accidental. Sbe had inst be?
fore been robbed of a check for one hundred
dollars, bat had stopped payment of it and
was not lubie to loss. She had prepared a
Christmas dinner, and was expecting company
at her house soon after the morphine must
have been taken. She was not at all in dis?
tress, inheriting from her father, who died in
England about a year ago, enough to support
her comfortably. Her three children are two
boys and a girl, Bertram, twelve; Adrian,eigbt,
and Amy, six years of age. She was about
thirty-nine years of age herself, and bad been
in thia country twelve years. Mr. Horace
White, or the Chicago Tribune, writes the fol?
lowing letter to the New York World :
I notice in your issue of this date a state?
ment that Mrs. Angostas Dickens, who com?
mitted suicide in Chicago on Christmas eve,
was not the widow of the deceased brother of
Charles Dickens, but that the real Mrs. Au?
gustus Dickene is living in London, and is
supported by her brother-in-law, the eminent
novelist. There are, I believe, three little
children of the lato Augustus Dickens living in
Chicago, who now, in addition to their other
misfortunes, aro deprived of the tender and
loving care of their mother. This circum?
stance deterred me from telling what I knew,
when my eye feil upon the telegram announc?
ing the death of Mrs. Dickons. Since the es?
sential facts in the case have become public
without any agency of mine, I shall attempt to
do justice to the living without disrespect to
the dead, by giving you so much of the his?
tory ot this caso as has been communicated to
me.
Mr. Augustus Dicker s was a brilliant scape?
grace, who abandoned bis own wife in England
and ran away to Am?rica with Miss Bertba
Phillips, the daughter of an insurance as ont
in London-a young lady of many attractions
and accomplishments. I have heard that after
arriving at an interior town in Illinois, and
having resided there a sufficient length of
time, ne procured a divorce from his wife and
married a??s Pbilups- hut of this I have no
personal knowledge, it is certain that she
was thenceforward treated by her parents as
Mrs. Dickens, and that she received a small
bequest in her father's will as "Airs. Bertha
Phillips Dickens." Tievertheless, the former
Mrs. Dickens lived and still Uves in London.
She is now afflicted with blindness, and is
supported by Charles Dickens.
When Mr. Diekens visito J this country last
year, and received a large sum of money from
his readings, a portion of which he bestowed
in charity u-^on arrangers, the press of Chi?
cago, including the journal with which I am
connected, commented upon the fact that be
bad done nothing tor those who had the most
obvious claims upon him, and of whose neces?
sities he could not" be ignorant. The Eastern
. press attributed these remarks to spite, be?
cause Mr. Dickens had not included Chicago
in the list of cities in which he v/as to give his
readings. I am sure there was no sueh feeling
as this evoked at any time-certainly not in
my own case. There was, however, an impor?
tant misapprehension of facts. It is easy now
to seo why Mr. Dickens could not visit Chicago.
If he bad done so he must either recognize
Mrs. Bertha Phillips Dickens, to the injury of
the other Mrs. Dickens, or by refusing to do
so expose her to contumely. It is easy to see
also why he contributed nothing to her sup?
port. A glimmering of the truth was given to
the public in the London correspondence of
the Boston Daily Advertiser, but without the
knowledge or privity of Mr. Dickens.
These facts came to my knowledge through
the kindness of a literary friend in London, a
few days before Mr. Dickens' departure from
this country. Muoh as I desired to repair tho
injury that had been done him, it was clearly
impossible to do so without inflicting the
greatest harm upon Mrs. Dickens. I under?
stand that Charles Dickens has always been
solicitous that the lady m questjen should re?
ceive no other injury from his family than she
had already received; that he wished her well,
* and that he was willing to do, or to forbear
doing, anything not inconsistent with his du?
ties to the more afflicted woman whom his
brother Augustus had lett in England.
It only remains to add tb at Mrs. Bertba
Phillips Dickens (whom I never saw) bore an
unblemished reputation in Chicago. Upon
the decease of her husband she was left desti?
tute, with tbree infant children to ? i: ri ort
and educate. She was faithful to those whom
God committed to her core. Her noble strug?
gle with poverty was alleviated in a great
degree by tho kindhearted gentlemen of the
land department of che Illinois Central Bal?
way, of which Mr. Augustus Dickens had been
an employee; and it is safe to assume that her
children will not come to want. It appeal's io
mo that Mrs. Dickens died of a broken heart,
and that no contributions of monov from
Charles Dickens, or the people of Cnicago,
could haye healed her wound.

Editor of the Chicago Tribune.
PROFITS OF FREE COTTON.
To the Editors of the New York Evening Post:
As you have heretofore taken great interest
'in the change now taking place in the method
of cultivating land in the Southern States, I
enclose a part of a letter from an enthusiastic
Southern man living near Selma, Alabama :
"In reply to your inquiry, I will say that,
without manure and close work, our tanning
interest this year would have been a failure, as
it was last. At this time of writing we have
over one hundred acres of ground broken up
with double ploughs, and six of these ploughs
ore running daily, and will keep on until our
entire farm of four hundrrd acres is broken up.
The great advantage of ploughing now is to
get au the gross turned ander and the benefit
of the frosts in January and Febiuary. Proba?
bly not one fat mer in ten is doing this.
"There is no kind of doubt about the su?
periority of coiton seed manure over every
other yet discovered. You can easily test it
by trying it on your northern soil. The pro?
blem of comparing the cost and yield of cotton
with and without manure is solved by the sim?
ple explanation that a man may easily broak
by the latter and can never break by the
tonner mode.
"The best way to prepare cotton soed for
manure is to put it ui a water-tight basiu
made in the earth, and let it rot in the weather;
it will heat so much and become so offensive
with ammonia, in a short timo, as to let its
strength bo known extensively, and a very
little of the liquor from it will kill an animal if
given to it. After it is rotten it can oe used
broadcast for grain, or in the bill for corn, or
in the drill or hill for cotton, and wiieu mixed
with bone dust, gypsum, or any other manure,
it is very rich. We have uo" river muck or
manure on our plantation. We have fine
stables, and stall all oar stock, keeping beds of
litter under them, and thus makiug lots of
manure; besides this we gather all thc bones
around us and 'send ' them to mill,' getting
back almost half of it in bone dust.
"Take your cotton seed, bone dust, stable
manure and decayed vegetable matter and gyp?
sum, and any farmer can get rich. We would
thank no one to guarantee us ten thousand dol?
lars without worms and five thousand dollars
profit with worms. Wo have the best kind ol'
means Of irrigation in this country, by reason
of our artesian TveUs. Wo bore from three to
four hanJrad feet into tho ground,strike a rich
vein of water, and ge'., a flow of from three to
eight hundred gallons per minute, and run it
where we pleaso.
.'This is a wonderful country for scientific
firming, and with a workmanlike way of doing
things we will get by-aud-by
For our cotton crop.$300,000 000
For sugar and molasses. 150,000,000
For tobacco, wheat, bacon, kc, kc. 150,000,000
Total.?600,000,000
and by a proper calculation it will come near?
er eight hundred millions, and this can be
doubled by applying the same skill and atten?
tion that are used to make any other business
a success.
"Fanning is, unfortunately, confined as a
rule to the uueducated; but show me an edu?
cated, successful merchant or a successful man
in any occupation, and I will show you one
who would make himself rich at farming in
the South."
As an evidence of progress we cm also cito
tho fact that the immense deposits of mineral
phosphates which exist in South Carolina, and
have boen known for twentv years, are now for
the first time being worked in order to s.ipply
phesphatic manure-tho great necessity for
cotton culturo and lor tho renewal of worn-out
plantations.
New and improved tools aro also called for,
and as the same quantity cannot now be made,
great attention is being given to improving
tho quality ot cotton, and many new varieties
aro now being gradually introduced.

venty-nino years old; who woro red stockings, red

ito. Hexa, a true New England gal, chewed wads of
Ine gum. and sweetened ber biotb with eniehs.
exa wasn't so much handaome-r than a doll as to
take tho doll flint, but she was intelligent ; in fact, in
?lbgence was her best hold but one; she wis great
a making baby garments, and had her trunks lull,

JAMES MARSH, ESQ..
No. 153 West Firsts trcot, New ?ork, says he
as three children. Thc first two are weak and
u&y, bia wife having been unable to nurse or
ttvnd them; but she hae taken Plantation Bit?
ers for the Inst ten years, and has a child now 18
lonths old. which she has uurscd and roired ber?
eif, and both are heany and well. Plantation Bit?
ers is invaluable to mothers.
VALTER, MY BOY,
1?re comes a man who was once rich. He hod
needs, and money, and a loving family, and posi
ion, and influence, and self-respect, and integrity,
nd a future of usefulness before bim. But, my
>oy, he don't look like it now. He was elected to an
mportant office. He forgot thc lessons his good
nother taught bim, and was asked by designing
loliticians to sell his vote to a party of swindlers; he
lould Bot for the life of him give articulation to that
ittle word, and so he fell.
HOW OFTEN DO WE HEAR THE COMPLAINT,
from motlier ami luther, that the son or daughter is
lot well; that they have no appetite; that (hoy feel
anguid; that tuc head aches all thc time; that they
rc ^rcrcinx thin and feeble, and that they have no
ile nor energy Iel t. Aud the questions arc often
sked, What shall I do for them ? What sh-tll I give
hem? Our answer is, let them try Plantation Bit?
ers moderately, thrc6 times a day, and our word
or it (hey will recover.
AND HEBE VALTER, IS A YOUNG MAN,
hst like you and us, my boy. He has wit, sense,
dueation, intelligence, friends, ambition, and ie
oved. He haB a knowledge of the world, icquired

he same field in which to win honor, fame and dis?

one application was sufficient to kill and exterminate
the jJain.
