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. I am, sir, verv respectfuUv, vour obedient Bervant, HOK?CE WHITE, 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.
