ALFRED TENNYsON DICKENS.

That the United States has been
spared the ridicule Of another Am
erican notes" by the sudden death OF
Alfred .Tennyson Dickens, eldest sou
of the late Charles Dickens, is the be-
lief Of those today who became &C
uuainted with the lecturer during his
sojourn in this country.
Charles Dickens came 10 America.
and was wincd. dincd and lelcd. lie
returned to England 10 pen his AM
erican Notes'--bittcr satire and in
vcctivc. That his son was preparing
to also turn vitriolic pen upon his
hosts was evidenced by many OF his
remarks during his visit here.
The elder Dickens was disappoint-
ing to many Americans who met him
during his first visit TO the United
States in the fortics. Numbers OF
persons who saw him at that time
were living during the latter part OF
the sixties when he again came to
this country. Most of such had no
great desire to see him the second
Lime. FIe was on reading tour al
that time and carried away with
him notes of a different nature-Un-
tied States treasury notes-as large
crowds belonging in the main TO
another generation crowded halls in
order TO get a look at the novelist.
Those who read American Notes and
Martin ChuZzlewit, i'll both OF which
the United States is so unmercliully
Iampooned. are rather disposed TO
laugh at the cXtravagant obscrva-
tions Of the novelist. In fact. much
in these books concerning this coun-
try is not only ovcrdrawn but in many
cases is basclcss. Dickens works
contain much in defense Of the poor.
His mission seemed to be protest
against aristocracy and pride. but ii
is said that his department while in
America was arrogant, cold and in no
way calculated TO impress Americans
who had only known him through his
productions The younger Dickens
had he assailcd America. would have
caused no especial stir, as his main
asset was that his sire was the IA
nous novelist.
