TJIJS DICKENS' FAMILY.
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. ***

garters, metal tipped shoes, green spectacles, and
th? prettiest red hair the world ever Bet eyes on er
into. Hexa, a true New England gal, chewed wads of
pine gum, and sweetened her broth with onions.
Hexa wasn't so much handsomer than a doll aa to
make tho doll faint, but she was Intelligent; in fact, in?
telligence was her best hold but one; she wu great
on making baby garments, and bad her trunks full
packed away, that abe might be ready as willing
when the evil hour drew nigh, aa she trusted it would
from year to year.

What thousands of them are constantly relating

attend them; but sha has taken Plantation Bit?
ters for the last ten years, and has a child now 18
months old, whioh she has nursed and reared her?

VALTBB, MY BOY,
Here comes a man who waa once rich. He had
friends, and monoy, and a loving family, and posi?
tion, and influence, and self-respect, and integrity,
and 'a future' of usefulness before him. But, my
boy; he" don't look like it now. He was elected te an
important orno? Hs forgot the lessons his good
mother taughtrhim, and was asked by designing
politicians tosell hhs vote to a party of swindlers; he
could not for the life of him give articulation te that
little word, an? io hs fell. *
HOW OFTEN DO WK HEAR THE COMPLAINT,
From mother and father, that the son or daughter ls
net well; that they have no appetite; tnstthey feel
languid; that the head aches all the time; that they
are growing thin and feeble, sud that they have no
life nor energy left. And the questions are often
asked, What ahall I do for them ? What shall I give
them? Our answer is, let them try Plantation BU
tere moderately, three Mmes a day, sud our word
for lt they will recover.
'AND EBBE VALTE.fl, IS A YOUNO MAN,
Just Uk? you and us, my boy. Hs bas wit, ssnse,
education, intelligence, friend?, ambition, and is
loved. Hs has s knowledge of the world, acquired
by mixing with tts people He has ambition sad
the sams field ia which to win honor, fame ?nd dis
tinstion, as had Franklin, Fulton, More*, and a host
of o thora. Helfe naturally ?nc art, but. Val ter, ni y
boy, ss bs meets us do you sse tbs excess of mois?
ture in bis sys, tbs little puffy ridge under it, ?bo
gradual turning ef the beautiful corners of the
mouth, bis mothar so loved to kiss. These, my boy,
tell s sad ts!? of ?arly shipwreck, of disease, of pro
mature death, of neglected and squandered gifts.

action of every depraved organ and gland in the sys?

make it pure. If the Lungs art ulcerated and sore,
secreting thick phlegm and pru relent matter, tn?
Resolvent will loosen this deposit and repair thu
wasting lung with sound and healthy material. If
the bkin is covered with pimples, spots, pustule?-,
sores, ulcers, tic, the Resolvent will quickly removs
these annoyances. If mercury is deposited in the
boues and has accumulated in the system, the Re?
solvent will drive it out. Il the Throat or broncuial
Glands are ulcerated, the Resolvent will euro these
signs of au early waste. Direct remedies, possess?

increase the functional secretions ot on - organ by
suspending the conutituent secretions of others;
hence, a compensating remedy like the Resolvent is
the only means of a permanent cure.

FAIN CURED JN AN INSTANT.'
In 1817 the great grand principle of stopping the
moat excruciating pain in an instant, without em?
ploying auch dangerous agents as Chloroform,
Opium, Morphine, Acontdne, Ether, ic. was first
made known in
RADWAVS READY RELIEF.
This remedy accomplished thia wonderful and de*
lightful desideratum in all cases of external and in?
ternal pain. In an instant it afforded relief, the
moment it was applied to the parts ol the body
where inflammation or pain existed-it at ouce re?
lieved the patient of the most violent and excruciat.
mg pangs and throbs of pain, and imparted the de?
lightful sensation of ease and comfort.
Every kind of pain, whether Rheumatism, Neu*
raigiu, Toothache, Pains in tho Chest, Side, Lungs,
stomach, Bowels, Kidneys, Spine, Lega, Arms, Feet,
ino application was sufficient to kill and exterminate
[he pain.
Taken internally, twenty drops to a teaspoonful
.vould cure, and will cure, Asiatic Cholera, Fever
md Ague, Chills and Fever, Bilious Colic, Inflam?
mation of the Bowels, Cramps, h pas ma, Diarrhoea,
Dysentery, and every pain that mav axist in the in
lido of man. woman or child: thia was RAD WAY'S
BEADY RELIEF of 1847, and lt is RAD WA Y'S RE?
LIEF, greatly improved, in 1808.
We then started it in its mission of relieving the
nflrm, pain-stricken, sick, distressed and crippled
>t all nations throughout the world, and now to-day
t is used, patronised and revered as a household
necessity, in the palmees of Sultans, Emperors,
