DICKENS AND HIS WIFE.
Forster's Biography-Young Dfciscfis
champions His Mother.


A story reaches us from London
which will be read with eagerness by
all who are interested-as who is not?
in the life of the late Charles Dick
ems. Under ordinary circumstances
it would be rightly deemed beyond
the ken of public Journal, but Mr.
Dickens own deliberate choice made
his separation from his wife public
topic and it would be aiicctation to
keep out Of print gossi p which
though at present that of an inner
circle. is sure to become. very soon,
the common talk OF literary society.
The rumor is that Forsters Life OF
Dickens vol. 2. which the world il
anxiously expecting. hangs fire. The
biographer thinks that he ought 10
tell the story of the separation of
Dickens aud his wife. aud Of course
is disposed to throw ull the blame of
the separation upon Mrs. Dickens.
But young Dickens, who. it is said
always sided with his mother in that
matter, and thinks that scant justice
was done to her by his father when
the matter WAS made public. says
that il amends be not made 10 her by
Mr. Forster. Il plain, unvarrished
tale" shall be published in All the
Year Round. How the matter will
end it is impossible TO foretell. Per.
haps the best way would be to leave
the tale untold. il young Dickens

Walter Savage Laudor suddenly sep
arated from his wife. and never saw
her again. Mr.. Forster, in his biog
raphy OF Landor, hurries over the
business swiftly, like skater over
dangerous ice, but he manages To
throw the blarue rather upon Mrs.
Landor than upon his hero. Bn.

the story as TO make the world be,

most to blame. but it is questionable
whether Dir. Forster, in dealing with
contemporary heroes, does not carry
his worship to the verge of fuukey.

story which was recently told me dur

IN the castle of Lord S. there is q
haunted room. Haunted ROOMS are
not uncommon in castles, but this
one was persistently haunted.
Every night anyone who occupied it
saw a ghost III it which fitted through
the apartment. A young gentleman
from London, visiting the family,
was very curious about this appari-
ton, and was surprised to learn that
no persons who had seen it had ever
had the courage to speak to it. At
his request he was put to sleep in
the apartment. and early next morn
ing the family crowded around to
learn his expirence.
"Well. says Lord S., "did you
see the ghost?"
"Ob. yes." replied the gentleman,

She was not prepared to give any
information in regard TO his connec-
tion with the Indians. He used to
talk To her about a yonng woman of
his acquaintance who used to wear tar
on her face and quilts in her nose.
lie often said 10 her that this woman
never annoyed him by wanting TO
take her knitting and govisitlng when
he wanted her TO stay nj home. He
always insisted that every man should
be absolute master of his own house,
and rs she was brought up to the
same belief she yielded in everything
TO his will. and so accustomed did she
become to it that her friends often
said to her, You make Il god OF him."

JOAQUIN AS A POET.
The lecturess then passed to criti-
cal dissection of Joaquin's poetry.
She said he was graceful in his flow of
rhyme, graphic in his descriptions, and
vigorous in style. He lacked some
thing OF the noble nature aud did not
seem TO have those fine emotions
which characterize many of the
poets. But he had many of the qual-
tiles and all the genius of true poet.
and the world, she predicted, had not
yet heard the prelude of the grand
Songs he wonld sing. But he was un
stable and never knew his own mini.
One day he believed one thing and
the next day he didn't believe II. In
proof of this she referred TO his inter
view with a reporter of the New York
Sun recently, in which he said in one
place that he was very poor and in
another place he said his publishers
send him large sums of money for
everything he writes. He said that
perhaps she did not know. him. Per-
haps she did not. Perhaps there were
others who knew him better than she
did. If so let them come forward
and speak. She would welcome Them,
and they would mingle their tears to-
gether.
