CHARLES DICKENS AND HIS WIFE
Young Dickens lriR not Permit his Fathers
Bi09rdpher 10 Blur The Name Of his Mother
"A story reaches US from London which
will be read with eagerness by all who
are interCsted-as who is not?-in the
life Of the late Charles Dickens. Under
ordinary circumstances il would be right
ly 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 aiiectatiOn
TO keep out Of print gossip which, though
at present that Of an inner circle, is SURF
to become very soon the common talk ot
literary society.
The rumOr is that FOrstcr's Lille o
Dickens" volume =, which the world i:
anXiOusly expecting, hangs fire. The bi-
Ographer thinks he ought to tell the story
OF the separation OF Dickens and his wife
and Of course is disposed 10 throw all tht
blame OF the separation upon Mrs. Dick
ems. But young Dickens, who it is said
always sided with his mother in that mat
ter, and thinks that but scant Justice wa:
done 10 her by his father when the mat
Ter was made public, says that il amends
be not made 10 her by Mr. Forster, i
plain, unvarnishcd tale shall be publish
cd in All the Year Round.
How the matter will end it is impossi-
bic to ioretcll. Perhaps the best way
would be 10 leave the tale untold, il young
Dickens would consent 10 that course
A. oil nt,np,a ppn cannot h,,, n aJr,,;.n tI,;
young mans affection for his mother, and
his ChivalrOus determination that at al
costs to the reputation Of his father, hel
good name shall not be blurred. 1t will
be remembered that Walter Savage Ian
dor suddenly separated from his wife, and
never saw her again. Mr.. Forster, in hi!
biography OF Landor, hurries over The
business swiftly, like a skater over danger
Gus ice, but he manages to throw the blamt
rather upon Mrs. LandOr than upon hi!
hero. But having read this biography anL
got pretty correct notion Of this hero
his extreme irriRbility, his lofty notion d
himself, his craving ambition for homage
from CverybOdy-wG can easily imsgin(
that the offence which his wife, who
seems 10 have been very quiet, amiablC
lady, committed was very slight. Mr.
Forster 50 tells the story us to make thC
world believe that certainly Mrs Landol
was most 10 blame, but ii IS questionable
whether Mr, Forster, in dealing with con
temporary heroes, does not carry his wor
ship To the verge Of llunkeyiSm.
Better leave the story 0f Dickens ant
his wife untold II the son would consent
10 it. But perhaps he will not; perhaps
he has long lclt the injustice to his moth
cr ranking in hs breast, and Is now do
tcrmincd to have the truth published. |
so, there will at least be one advantage
the revelation will put welcome end Il

FRAIL FEMININITY.
One Hundred aud Fifty Ladies
Searched for Smuggled Goods.

One Hundred aud Fifty LadiG'
Searched for Struggled Goods.
From the Detroit Free Press, October 22)
1t Is afact probably better known tc
the Custom House officials than TO out
sldcrs that at least every tenth woman
who crosses the Detroit river carries
smuggled goods. The goods may be tea
coffee, socks, thread, ribbons, or some
thing else Of great value, but the intent tu
smuggle Is there, aud the success iH
bringing over small LOT is nearly always
an induCement for the smuggler to try
the game on u larger scale. Men may
and do smuggle clothing now and then
but Il is the female sex which carries the
burden Of guilt. The Custom House Olli'
Cials at the Terry dock in this city are as
vigiant Us officers can be, but what
chances have they against monster hoop
skirts and gigantic bustles. They cannot
stop 10 peep under shawls, examine pOCk'
cts, look into baby carts and hold q crowd
On the boat, and so they must continue
their work with the knowledge thai
goolGare being smuggled, and that only
one grand aud certain haul OF their nets
can trap the guilty and frighten the inuO
cent so that they shall never dare TO pur-
sue the business.
The net was drawn yesterday. The
officers commenced about o'clock, walk
ing fifteen or twenty women up stairs in
TO the custom rooms, and handing them
over to Il woman 10 be searched. Every
boat load which landed, for about three
hours, was arrested in the same manner
that is all the female portion. Some
were indignant, and appealed to their
husbands, who Vainly appealed 10 the
customs officers. Others wanted 10 faint
away, but, after looking at the planks and
the dust concluded not 10. Others wept,
laughed, or turned pale but none OF them
were permitted to escape. During the
afternoon about one hundred and fifty
women were confronted by Uncle Sam,
and the old man had a good bit OF fun
and made some wonderful discoveries.
For instance, modest little woman,
who was in a great hurry to 60 home 10
her sick:Child, pulled ont few pins, and
ten yards OF English flannel fell tC the
floor. A tall woman, with tears in her
eyes, who asserted that she would sooner
chop her head oil than TO think Of SNUG.
Cling, uniistened a pound Of tea from her
skeleton, and asserted that il must have
been placed there by some designing per-
son. Another one Indignantly denied
"the right OF search" but, after remaining
prisoner for an hour or two, told the
sesrCher to take it and go to grass"
throwing package of ribbons and laces
on the floor. \ lot OF calico was found
on another, some velvet on another, and
at least ~ per cent Of the whole number
were found TO be engaged in smuggling.
The officials were satisfied with COntis.
eating the goods, and il is said that wo.
men who land from Canada during the
day, today will be marched up stairs
and turned over to the care OF the grim
female, who hceds no threats and melts
at no sighs.

In the current number Of Harper!
Wsekiey, Mast contributes several excel
lent cartoons, the principal one being oil
illustration Of quotation from the 2ri'
6une, October 0,"We arc on the Home
Stretch" The picture represents a railway
station known as "Chappaqua," md from
one OF the cars Senator FGnton and
Whitelaw Ried are carrying Greeley on
strClcher 10 the farm house; Theodore
Tilton and Carl Schurz, with wOc.bc.gonG
cOuntenanCcs, stand inside the gate, and
beyond them are number Of domestic
animals drawn up in line. Following the
mournful procession is a small boy, bear
ing in his hand a card inscribed "Gratz
Brown" which has evidently dropped
from the tail Of the farmers coat, a posi-
ton assigned to it by Mast in all his car
tOons. Over the top OF the picture is a
fancy head for the Tribune, very elabOr.
ately executed, the date line being inscrib,
ed as follows "New Series, New York,
November 0, 1872" Dear at any price.
As is all Nasts cartoons, the faces oI
the characters are admirable likenesses.
Another picture represents large TO-
bacco factory, with Boss Tweed as the
Indian figure. Greeley is on the side
walk, running of, but his coat tail has
become fixed to the figure, and he is pull
ing italter him. The inscriptions are: 81

The SYSTEM OF CUMULATIVE VOTING
The Illinois Minority Representation
Society, whose headquarters are in Chi
cago, has addressed u circular 10 judges
Of election in that State, asking for com.
plete returns Of the operation Of the sys,
ten Of cumulative voting provided for in
its constitution. This system is to be
tried for the first time in the election Of
State officers next week. This society
intends to publish at an early day an
analysis of the practical working OF the
scheme. This minority system, engraited
into the State Constitution of Illinois, is
for the purpose of giving minoriiics q
representation. For example, if ithe
Democrats are in a minority in county
which is entitled to three delegates in the
General Assembly, they. may nominate
one candidate and vote for him three
times, while the majority opposition will
be allowed also 10 vote three times, either
concentrating their votes upon one or
more, or distributing them equally among
their candidates, as they may list. They
may thus insure themselves two, out OF
the three delegates, even where the popu.
lar vote is one.third against them. They
cannot defeat the election Of the minority
candidate, In the given case of 10000
voters in a county, and the Republicans
having tTo.thirds Of that vote and the
Democrats one.third, the Republicans
can poll 10000 votes Tor each Of two OF
their candidates, aud the Democrats poll
10000 votes on one candidate, thereby
electing one Democrat with actually TO-.
900, and two Republicans with actually
10000 votes.
