The Story of the Late Mrs. Augustas Diekens-The Statement that she Com? mitted Suicide Probably Erroneous How ?he Came to this Country, and her Idfe since. It appears that Mrs. Dickons, whoso death at Chicago has been reported, cUd not commit suioide. 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. She had inst be More been robbed of a cheek for one h un deed "dollars, but had stopped payment of4t and was not liable to loes. 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 fron* 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,eight, and Amy, six years ol' age. She was about thirty-nine years of age herself, and had been in this country twelve years. Mr. Horaoe White, or the Chicago Tribune, writes the fol? lowing letter to the New York World : I notico in your issue of this date a state? ment that Mrs. Augustus Dickens, who com? mitted suicide in Chioago on Christmas eve, was not the widow of the deceased brother of Charles Dickons, but that the real Mrs. Au? gustus Die li ene is living in London, and is supported by her brother-in-law, the eminent novelist. There ore, I believe, three little children of the late Augustus Diekens living in Chicago, who now, in addition to their other misfortunes, are deprived of tho tender and loving care of their mother. This circum? stance deterred me from telling what ? knew, when my eye fell upon the telegram announc? ing the death of Mrs. Dickens. 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 tho dead, by giving you so much of the his? tory of this case as has been communicated to me. Mr. Augustus Dickens was a brilliant scape? grace, who abandoned his own wife in England and ran away to America with Miss Bertha Phillips, the daughter of an Insurance agent in London-a young lady of many attractions and accomplishments. I have heard that after arriving al an interior town in Illinois, and having resided there a sufficient lengthtof time, he procured a divorce from his wife and married Miss Phillips; but 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 "Mrs. Bertha Phillips Dickens." Nevertheless, the former aira. lucKona lived atm mm T_ - : _ - ' - * -Sit. 1- U",l""""_ io supported by Charles Dickens. When Mr. Dickens visited this country last ?ear, and received a large sum of money from is readings, a portion of which ho bestowed in charity upon strangers, the press of Chi? cago, including the journal with which I am connected, commented upon the fact that he 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 was to give his readings. I am sure there was no such feeling as this evoked at any time-certainly not in my own case. There waa, however, an impor? tant misapprehension of facts. It is easy now to see why Mr. Dickens could not visit Chioago. If he had done so he must either recognize Mrs. Bertha Phillips Dickens, to the injury of the other Mrs. Dickens, or by refusing to do se expose her to contumely. It is easy to see also why ho contributed nothing to her sup? port. A glimmering of the truth was given to the publie 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. Much as I desired to repair the 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 lad/in question 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 tioa to the more afflicted woman whom his brother Augustus had lett in England. It only remains to add that Mrs. Bertha Phillips Dickens (whom I nevor saw) bore an unblemished reputation in Chioago. Upon the decease of her husband she was left desti? tute, with three infant children to support and educate. She was faithful to those whom God committed to her care. Her noble strug? gle with poverty was alleviated in a great degree by the kindhearted gentlemen of the land deportment of the Illinois Central Rail? way, of which Mr, Augustus Dickens had been an employee; and ic is safe to assume that her children will not come io want. It appears to me that Mrs. Dickeris.jfgpl..' a broken heart, aaa that no cont^ffiBwons of ni?1**? from Charles Pakens, ^t??e people of Oia^go, could have healeu hVrwound. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, HORACE WHITE, Editor of tbe Chioago Tribune. PROFITS OF FREE COTTON. To the Editora of the Netv York Evening Pott: 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 thal, without manure and close work, our farming 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 are running daily, and will keep on until our entire farm of four hundred acre? is broken np. The great advantage of ploughing now is to get all the grass turned under and the benefit of the frosts in January and February. Proba? bly not one farmer in ten is doing this. "There is no kind of doubt about the sn perionty of cotton seed manure over every ether yet discovered. You can easily test it bj 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 eim 6le explanation that a man may easily break y the latter and can nevor break by the former mode. "The best way to prepare cotton seed for manure 12 ?: put it in a water-tight basin 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 time, as to iet its strength be known extensively, and a very little of the liquor from it will kill an animal if ?riven to it. After it is rotten it can be used broadcast for grain, or in the bill fer corn, or in tho drill or hill for cotton, and when mixed with bene dust, gypsum, or any other manure, it is very rich. We have no river muck or manure on our plantation. We have fine stables, and stall all our stock, keeping beds of litter under them, and thus making lots of ? manure; besides this we gather all the 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 tb guarantee us ten thousand dol? lar* without worms and Ave thousand dollars profit with worms. We have the bes* kind of means of irrigation in this country, by reason of our artesian wells. We, boro from three to four hundred loot into tho t> round,strike a rioh ?ein of water, and ROI a /"ow of from three to eight hundred gallons per.minute, and run it where we please. "This is a wonderful country for scientific farming, and with a workmanlike way of doing things we will get by-aud-by For onr cotton crop.?300,000 000 For sugar aod molasses. 150,000,000 For tobacco, wheat, bacon, &c, &o. 160,000,000 Total.$600,000,000 and by a proper calculation it will come near? er eight hundred millions, anil this can be doubled by applying the same skill and atten? tion that are used to make any other business a sucoese. "Farming is, unfortunately, confined as a rule to the uneducated; but show me an edu? cated, successful merchant or asuccessful man in any occupation, and I will show you ono who would mako himself rich at forming in the South." As anovidenco of progress we can also cite the fact that the immense deposits of mineral phosphates which exist in South Carolina, and havo been known for twenty years, are now for tho first timo being worked in order to supply phesphatio manure-tho great necessity for cotton culture and for tho renewal of worn-ou? plantations. Now and improved tools "Ore also called for, and as the sam? quantity cannot now be made, great attention is hoing given to improving the quality of cotton, and many new varieties aro now being gradually introduced. *** Commercial.
