LONDON. Wednesday, June s.
"You will find Dickens card in the
Times of yesterday. The whole affair is very sad
one. - told me week ago that he had just seen
Dickens that morning in regard to the circulation
of stories to the dscredt of DIS domestic charac
ter. All London, you must know, had for some
time been rife with legends concerning Dickens and
an actress with whom it was at last affirmed that
the author of Dauid Copperfeld had eloped to Bou-
logne. OF these stories it was that - had spoken
everybody was speaking, neither affirming nor
denying, but simply repeating, and it was to silence
these stories that Dickens sent for his friend last
week, and that he yesterday published his card in
the Times.
ale has indeed separated himselffrom his wife, but
simply on the ground of an ancient and unconquer
able incompatibty in their respective characters.
For the future the young Mr.. Dickens will act as
the head of his mothers household, the daughters
remaining with their father. Of the actress there
is no question save as the ever open mouth of lying
rumor ''for SANDERS mark even yet'' the
spicuous, and above all, the honorably conspicuous
preachers of virtue, peace and domestic order.
"Surely, however, in this case, nothing is needed
to quicken the pain which every lover of literature
and every person of common feeling must expe-
rience on learning that after many years of unob-
trusive private life illusrious author, who has
bestowed infinite pleasure upon his contemporaries
and done the world much true good service has
been forced into making public exposure of his
most secret sorrows and of his most sacred mis-
fortunes.
"Wherever the living scandal goes, however, | am
sure that all who value truth and justice will send
the most unhappy realities Of the case in its compa-
nv for if the case is not thereby much mended
something at least will be saved to the many whose
faith in the wholesome lessons of Pickicck Master
Humphrey's Clock, and the Christmas Stories might
else be shaken by the authors failure achieve in
his own life the ideas of peace and harmony which
he has painted.
'There is story that Mr.. Dickens means to go on
the stage, but this | see no reason to believe. In
a like his, it seems but natural that he should
seek retirement and secluson among his partlcu-
lar friends even complete than that in which
he has for some years lived"
