His Last Moments TOuohiDgIy Described

His Last Moment EOuch1DgLy Described
by His Daughter.
Miss Dickens thus describes her faith
ers last hours:
On Monday morning the sisters were
to leave for London. Charles Dickens
had an intense dislike to, and shrinking
from, all leave taking. He never used
the word good by" If he could help it,
and generally left us for any short alb
seace with q kiss or nod. But on this
day his daughter Kate said:
81 must say good by to papa" and
went over to the chalet where he was
busy writing. As a rule when he was
busy he would just put up his cheek to
be kissed. But this day he took his
daughter in his arms, saying:
God bless you, KateP'
And there among the branches Of the
trees, and the birds and butterflies and
scent of flow ers, she left him. All that
day and the next he was well, but sOou
tired-an unusual thing for him. On
Wednesday morning he was in excellent
spirits, alking to "aUntie" about his
book, edwin brood, and as he was to
go to his office in London the next day
he would work in the chalet and take
no drive or walk until the evening. He
once came to the house in the middle OF
the day, smoked q cigar IN the conserve
tory, which improvement" he took IN
tense delight in, and went back to the
chalet. 1t was not until he and his sis
ter-in-laW, the only member Ofthe family
home Just then, sat down to dinner that
she noticed a change in his color and
expression. She asked him If he was i'll
and he said:

the last hour" She was going to send
Immediately for the doctor, but he for

with the dinner, and to London after

was coming on, and she, becoming Sc.
riously alarmed, entreated him to come
and sit down.

quite distinctly, and, on her going to as

The natives gathered these stones con-

ranging from $25 to $50 per ton by the
Italian houses which control the trade.
The price ran up to 1856 per ton in gold
during the war, but has not varied from
the above named figures for many years.

would. it would seem, help to account
for the large representation Of typhoid
