The members of Mr.. Dickens's family were
another source of dissatisfaction to his wife, il
is said. From his father, Mr.. John Dickens

renowned Wilkins Micawber, who was always
waiting for something to turn up-down to the
youngest of his numerous brothers, Charles
Dickens's family we're drag upon his liberal
nature for very many years. The father had
an income of at least $4,000 year, as Gov
eminent pensioner and newspaper reporter,
which ought to have suficed for the support OF
his children, but it did not. 1t was muddled
away, nobody knew how, and the family stuck
on their brother Charles like nest of leeches
Of course he submitted to it, prodigal as he is,
and of course, also, his wife did not like it.
Thus, however, matters went on, begetting
dissatisfaction and GOODNESS, until some recent
circumstances--in the profuse explanations we
are at loss to know precisely what they are
led to separation.

char.er to bold navigators to cont, in the
nefa-ious carrying trade VIGOROUSLY nducted
by men and capitalists in Our Nortl / cities.
TIE points in this case are worth notice.
The .aw of 1919 requires that the o ,ers and
crew of captured slavers shall be d Qered to
the United States Marshal for the e d district
entered after the capture, and that there the
trial Tor piracy shall take place. Tt question
comes up then, What jurisdiction hl the Dis
trictzCourt in Boston? To this the reply will
be, 1ssobably, that Captain Townsefa is only
undss examination, and that his tris' may take
place at Key West. The penalty se the Of.
fence is death, but is there any of this determi-
nation to make an example of the ..uilty, on
the part of the Government, which humanity
and a respect for our laws may rig ..sfully de-
mane? Lieut. Mafht had reason !. believe
that there were nine slavers which ed been
fttee out from Northern ports, to ca : on this
numerous trade, which shows that ere is a
fearf, disrespect for our Federal VS.; and
now, when one of the vessels has bt>1 taken,
the l5capacity of the Government sustain
the Esw seems about to be demonstes I'd. We
trustssthat so demoralizing a result may not
take place, but we must confess that appre-
hendthat nothing better will be ace pIished.

deep interest, on many and mort serious
groutds, in watching the course of tias affair.

through chemical changes; but crystals are
equally perfect in their earliest stages, and en-

other created things, die in time. Mines abound
with skeletons of crystals. Crystals differ in

Substances always crystalline in the same forms,
at least under the same conditions, so that we
may say there are tribes and races of crystals,

Crystallizstion is found through all nature.
There is not substance which, when allowed
the free movement of its particles, does not ex-
