French Stories of Dickens.

The passion of the French for sensa-
tional stories has been illustrated in re.
markable manner in reference to the late
Charles Dickens, about whom foreign are
journals full of anecdote. But the French
go ahead of the others. Where they get
their stories from is mystery to every
body, for they are unknown to England.
Here are couple of the most popular.
The first is to the effect that overwork
had made Mr.. Dickens SO eccentric in his
habits that he turned day into night, and
was in the habit of walking the streets Of
London from midnight until Eve in the.
morning.
On the occasion of these walks, the
great novelist observed lady of respec-
table appearance following him. Night
after night she followed him, and if the
novelist approached her she fastened
away. startled and confused. At last
they met face to face, and the lady de-
clared, in great agitation, Charles Dick
ems, you have done me an injury, can
no more rest. Look at me, so that you
may remember me for l desire to be re.

that she was dead with a dagger in her
heart. Another OF these stories is of n
female of more aggressive character
This woman lead scandalous life, but
presumed to fall in love with the novel
ist, and to write him ardent letters, to
which he sent no reply The woman de-
termined on revenge, and tried to stab
the novelist as he was coming out of the
theatre But such was the humanity Of
Charles Dickens, that his only desire was
to save the unfortunate woman from the
legal consequences of her infatuatiOn.
He snatched her from the witnesses of
her attempted crime, thrust her into tho
carriage, put his coachman in with her to
keep her quiet, and himself ascended
the box, took the whip and drove away"
