Consultations ns to a Burial IMace-tJrave of

From the London Daily AVtos, June IS.
The mortal remains or Mr. Charles Dickens were
deposited In Poet s Corner, Westminster Aobey, at
an early nour yemerday nioruiui?. rrmay lant,
on the day on which Mr. Dickens' lamented death
became known, Dr. Stanley, the Dean of Westmin
ster, had an Interview with Mr. Charles DIckens.the
younger, andjproposed that our great English author
should be interred In Westminster Abbey. From
that time until Monday evening the matter was un
der earnest consideration. Mr. Dickens' family
took counsel with their father's dearest and oldest
friends, and after due deliberation and consultation
on the terms of the written instructions they held,
asked the Dean of Westminster whether It would
be possible to have certain conditions complied with
if they consented that the interment should be at
Westminster.
TT1K GRATE.
The answer was satisfactory, and Charles Dickens
lies, without one of his Injunctions respecting his
funeral having been violated, surrounded by poets
and men of genius. Shakespeare's marble eillgy
looked yesterday into his open grave ; at his feet are
Dr. Johnson and David Garrlck ; his head is by Ad
dison and Handel; while Oliver Goldsmith, Rowe,
Southey, Campbell, Thomson, Sheridan, Macuulay,
and Thackeray, or their memorials, encircle him ;
and "Poet's Comer," the most familiar spot In the
whole Abbey, has thus received an illustrious addi
tion to Its peculiar glory. Separated from Dickens'
grave, by the statues of Shakespeare, Southey, and
Thomson, and close by the door to ''Poet's Corner,"
are the memorials of Ben Jonson, Dr. Samuel But
ler, Milton, Spenser, and Gray, while Chaucer, Dry
den, Cowley, Mason, Shadwell, and Prior are hard
by, and tell the bystander, with their wealth or great
names, how :
These poots nonr o r Princes sleep
And in odd grave their mansion keep.
THE FUNERAL.
Dickens' obsequies were as simple as he desired.
The news that a special train left Rochester at an
early hour yesterday morning, and that it carried
his remains, was soon telegraned to London ; but
every arrangement had been completed beforehand,
and there was no one In the Abbey, no one to lollow
the three simple mourning coaches and the hearse,
no one to obtrude upon the mourners. The waiting
room at Charing Cross station was set apart for the
latter lor the quarter or an hour they remained
there; the Abbey doors were closed directly they
reached It, and even the mourning coaches were not
permitted to wait. A couple or street cabs and a
single brougham took the funeral party away
when the last solemn rites were over, so that
passers-by were unaware that any cere
roonv was being conducted; and It was not until a
good' hour after that the south transept began to
nil. There were no cloaks, no weepers, no bands ;
no scarfs, no feathers none of the dismal frippery
of the undertaker. We yesterday bade the reader
turn to that portion of "Great Expectations," In
which the funeral of Joe Gargery's wife Is described ;
he will there lind full details of the miserable
things omitted. In the same part or the
same volume he will find reverent allusion
to the time when "those noble pottages are read
which remind humanity how it brought nothing; into
the world, and cn take nothing out, and how It
tleeth like a shadow, and never contlnueth long In
one stay;" and will think or the solemn scene la
Westminster Abbey, yesterday morning, with the
Dean reading our solemn burial service, the organ
chiming in, subdued and low, and the vast place
empty, save for the little group or heart-stricken
people by an open grave. A plain oak conln, with a

Chaki.es Dickens,
Born Fehuuary 7, 1812,
Died June 9, 1870,
a coin n strewed with wreaths and flowers by the
remale mourners, and then dust to dust and ashes
to ashes ! such was the funeral or tne great man
who has gone. In coming to the Abbey, in the first
coach were tne late jut. Dickens' cnuaren. Mr.
Charles Dickens, Jr., Mr. Harry Dickens, Miss
Dickens. Mrs. Charles Collins. In the second coach
were Mrs. Austin, his sister: Mrs. Charles Dickens.
Jr.; Miss Hogarth, bis sister-in-law; Mr. John
Forster. Ia the third coach, Mr. Frank Beard, his
medical attendant; Mr. Charles Collins, nis son-in-law;
Mr. Ouvry, his solicitor; Mr. WllUe Collins,
Mr. Edmund Dickens, his nephew.
HIS WILL.
We learn that Charles Dickens' will is autographic.
Having had his wishes put Into legal form by his
advbers, he copied the whole out with his own
hand. The codicil which confers his property in All
tiie rear uouna upon nis eldest son, acting editor,
and wnlcb. as we have stated, is dated only seven
days before his death, practically Insures the pe
riodical Deing conaucteu on tne same principles, ana
with the same writers, as heretofore.
We publish elsewhere an address from Mr. Charles
Dickens, Jr.. In which his father's Instructions will
be explained, and in wnicn it will be shown now for
vently the late Mr. Dickens had the well-being and
permanence of tils periodical at heart To those
who knew this practically, the evidences or it form
the most touching memorials now. It was Dickens'
rare art to bring the best ont or a man, and by
kindly encouragement and generous appreciation
to secure a co-operation wnicn was anoctionate
as Wi-ll as zealous. "Whatever you see your way
to, I will see mine to, and we know and understand
each other well enough to make the best or these
conditions," was his recent reply to a contributor
wuo naa proposed to eena mm a series or articles.
He liked his literary staff to feel unfettered, and
when he was once satlsned that the Instrument to
his hand was well-tempered and true, he rejoiced In
riving It Dlay. Now aitd again, when some great
public wrong fired hliu, he would pour out his In
dignation wim a lenuiiy oi illustration
which no one has commanded in oar
time bnt himself: and he never faltered
In protesting against wrong, or leant unduly to a
winnlug side. How tender he was to the poor, how
considerate to the weak, how merciful, how truly
srreat. It must be left to other pens to tell. This
faltering record fulfills Its puroose la recording that
he has been burled 1th all honor, and In the very
way he would have chosen ; that those whom he has
left know their loss to be Irreparable ; and that they
turn to the pnre thoughts and lander ancles he has
given to tne world, and tearfully seek In them, and
In words yet more sacred, some alleviation to their
pain.

' "All the Year Konnd."
The following statement as to the future manage
ment of A 11 the Year Round has been Issued by Mr.
Charles Dickens, Jr. :
It was my father's wish, expressed In writing only
a week before bis death, that I, his eldest son. and
latterly his assistant editor, should succeed him In
the management of the Journal so long connected
with his name. In accordance with this clearly-expressed
desire, ana strong in the hope inspired by so
encouraging a mark or his confldenee, I address my
seir to the ruliillment or the task which he ap
pointed me to discharge.
It is Intended that the management or All the i tar
Hound, in the ruture, shall be based on precisely the
same principles as those on wnlch it has np to this
time been conducted. The same authors who have
contributed to Its columns In time past will con
tribute to them still. The same spirit which has In
the past pervaded Its pages will, so far as conscien
tious endeavor may render it possible, pervade them
still. The same earnest desire to advocate what
is right and true, and to oppose what is false
and unworthy, which was the guiding principle of
my rather s career, ana wnicn nas always cnarau
terlzed his management of All the Year Hound, will,
1 most earnestly nope, continue 10 oe apparent, in us
every word. So much, the n, being the same, it may
not be presumptuous in me to hope that the same
readers with whom this Journal, and that which pre
ceded It, round ravor for so many years, may
still care to see the familiar title-page on
their tables as of old. With this brief ex
planation of the course I propose to adopt,
and omitting all reference whatever to
my own personal feelings In connection with the
great sorrow which has rendered this statement
necessary, I leave the future Journal to speak for
Itself. "It Is better that eery kind of work,
honestly undertaken and discharged, Bhould speak
foritseir than be spoken for." These were the
words with which my father Inaugurated the New
Series or A li the Year uouna. i cannot surely do
better than repeat them In this place.
Chnrles Dickens on Public Funerals,
To the Editor of the Daily , u:
sir: As all expressions or opinion by Mr. Dickens
on the subject or burial are or special interest at the
present moment, your readers may be glad to see
the subjoined letter written by the great novelist no
longer ago than last August. In that month Mr.
Dickens was requested by me, as one or the hono
rary secretaries or tne ieign num memorial Fund,
to Inaugurate the monument in Kensal-green Ceme
tery, and to deliver a short address on the spot a
task which was afterwards excellently performed by
Lord Houghton. I am, etc., Eumund Ollibk.
South Kensinoton, June 14 My dear Mr.
Oilier: I am very sensible of the reeling or the
committee toward me, and 1 receive tneir invitation
(conveyed through you) as a most acceptable mark
or their consideration. But I have a very strong
objection to speech-making beside graves. I do not
expect or wisn ray ieeung in tins wise to guide
other men; still, It is so serious with me, and the
Idea or ever being the subject or such a ceremony
myself Is so repugnant to my soul, that I must
decline to onlclute. Faithfully, yours always,
Charles Dickens.

Reminiscences of the threat Author Ills Love
of f ranee.
M. Paul Feval has published In the OauloU some
Interesting recollections of Mr. Charles Dickens,
wun wnom ne was on terms or ciose personal
friendship. Mr. Dickens had been present at the
luneral of Frederic Boulie, in 1847, and afterwards
said to M. Feval : "I begin to love France since I
saw this. Englishmen are found to assemble round
a hearse, because having never any fete they are
glad to sec any public ceremony whatsoever.
"Yet here it is not a mass, but a people who come
together on such occasions. From the Rue Vendome
to I'era ia (jnaise i saw ont two nnoroKen lines or
human beings In deep mourning." M. Feval also
tells the following story, which he claims to have
heard rrom M. Fechter's own lips. Addressing M.
Fei hter, M. Feval says:
You naa earned on tne airocnon or tne LTcertm
Theatre with a brilliant result; every evening your
talent filled that house, which was only too small;
but every theatre has the sad aitllction which we
call the management. 1 don't know how it
happened, but a full house left you with
an empty cash-box. One evening you had a
discussion with your manager, and he lnoon
testably proved to yon that oa were some
8000 in his debt. You bad been under the impres
sion that there was a balance of at least twice
that amount on your side, but artists are in this ltke
great lords their men of business often trouble
them with these unpleasant surprises. You went out
rather angry and not a little embarrassed, for it was
not at all to your taste to remain in tnis man i
debt.
"How are you, Feehtr, my dear fellow ?" It was
tbe cheery voice of Dickens, as he turned the corner
or Covent Garden. You told him with some amount
of feeling how you were situated. Dickens ex
pressed no compassion, but shook hands and wished
von srood night.
You thought it hard, but "such is friendship."
oniv the next morning tne manager looxea you up,
"Tbe matter was not bo pressing as all that, my
dear sir," saia ne.
"What do vou mean ?"
"Why, about that jCKOOO. Charles Dickens came
and handed me the cash on your behalf at 12 o'clock
last night."
Dickens bad for Batesc a kind of frightened adml
ration. He reproached bim for bis excessive egotism.
bnt he greatly preferred him to George Sand, whose
style be was, as a foreigner, almost unable to appre
ciate. Dickens knew, however, very much of the
French btlle lettree. He knew by heart Gozlan's
"Arlstide Frolssard ;"the posthumous novels of Mery
seemed to give nun moments oi tne greatest joy.
M. Feval has seen blm at once langhlng and crying

''SHOVING TIIE QUEER,
n
How a DeteetlTe waa Overreached.
For some two weeks past, says the Newark
Advertiser oi yesterday, a prominent detective
of this city has had under surveillance a young
man named Johnny Snook, whom he suspected
of being engaged in selling and passing coun
terfeit monev. and as "Johnny" was believed to
be too shrewd to be caught at the nefarious busi
ness by ordinary means, tbe omcer employed a
certain "wide-awake" saloon.keeper to "deal"
with Johnny, win his confldenee, purchase a
quantity of counterfeit money from him, and
thus secure sumcient evidence to warrant nis
arrest and ensure his conviction. 1 he saloon
keeper, who had frequently performed
simlliar services for the said
detective, proceeded very adroitly
with the ease, and in a few days reported to his
employer that he had succeeded In making
Johnny believe that he was sincere in his desire
to purchase a quantity oi tne "Dogus money,
ana had arranged to purchase $200 worth in
ones and twos of a certain retired place on Sat
urday last. Elated with the success of his assis
tant, the detective at once supplied him with $75
in genuine funds, with wbicb to pay for the
"queer," as it is called by the professional
dealers. In the meantime Johnny had In some
way learned that tbe detectives were "putting
up a joV on him, and made up his mind to beat
tbem at their own game, ana make a gooa
"stake" for himself.
He arrived at tbe place of rendezvous, and soon
after met the saloon-keeper, and, after exacting
from that sagacious operator renewed assur
ances that be would "never, under any elrcani-
etances, tell from whom he had purchased tbe
queer, ' placed the package lu bis hands with
the request that he would put It in his pocket as
toon as possible. The expectant detective re
ceived the package with ill-concealed exulta
tion, but felt some hesitation about pocketing It
until be eatisnea minseir that it was au right,
lie therefore made boles sufficiently large in
the envelop to see thai a 43 bill was on top and
all hill on the bottom of the package, and
thereby assured that all was right, placed it In
bis pocket and paid over the promised f 75 In
eremitra greenbacks. Tbe two then ee unrated.
and the adroit saloon-keeper hastened to report
hia success to bis employer, whom he found
anxiously awaiting mm at nis omce.
What was bis astonishment, aud whnt tbe
morUricaUon of the asuistaut, when the "boodle
frame was discovered, and the two experts
found that they had paid 175 for two good
greenbacks and a qnantity of brown paper.

A HEBREW WEDDING.
Sreno In a Synncocne Interruption of a Mar
rlace Ceremony.
Yesterday afternoon, says the Washington
Star of last evening, the synagogue on Eighth
ftreet, between II and I, was filled to overflow
ing by Israelites and Christians to witness the
marriage of Mr. Solomon Caro, of New York, to
Elizabeth Abrahams, of this city.
The reader, Mr. Jacobson, commenced the
service by delivering the nuptial address or ser
mon in English, in which he spoke of the duties
of husband and wife to each other and to the
werld. Dnring Its delivery the father of the
groom, Kabbi Caro, who was to have taken part
in the ceremony, had been seated to the left of
the desk. At its close he was beckoned to by
Mr. Jacobson, but instead of continuing the
ceremony, he took a position in front of the
young couple and addressed them in Hebrew,
saying that it was against his conviction to con
tinue the services in the reformed style; that be
was orthodox, and could not allow the cere
mony to proceed. The bridal paity remained in
their place a few minutes, and then the bride
telling the groom that they had better return to
her father's, they walked down the aisle, and,
taking tbe carriages, immediately proceeded to
Mr. Abrahams' residence.
These proceediugs caused considerable sur
mise on tne part of those present who did not
understand tho Hebrew tongue, but it was soon
learned that the Rabbi objected to the cere
mony because of the absence of the canopy, the
use of which the strictly orthodox Israelites (of
which he is one) hold to be an essential part of
their marriage ceremony. This canopy, which
is made of blue silk, and supported upon four
posts held by young men of the congregation, is
supposed to represent the blue arch of heaven.
It is not used by the Reform Hebrews, and it is
represented on behalf of the congregation here
that they simply granted the youthful couple
(who are neither or. them members oi this
branch of the Church) the use of the synagogue
without any stipulation being mado as to the
use of the canopy. That any misunderstanding
or interruption should have occurred is deeply
regretted by them, but they could not foresee
that granting the use of the synagogue simply
would lead to such a result as it did in this
case.
The audience left tho synagogue, most of
them disappointed, but a number who had invi
tations to the house of Mr. Abrahams proceeded
thither. Here the bridal party had arrived, and
after evening prayers the father of the bride
signed the marriage contract, and tho ceremony
was performed with all tbe forms and symbols
lined liv the orthodox Israelites. A canotw was
raised in tbe centre of the room, the poles at
the corners being held by the bystanders, and
the groom with the groomsmen and brides
maids having taken their positions under it, the
bride was called in, and the Rabbi, after the
preliminary prayer, read tbe marriage contract.
and tne ring naving oeen nanuea to mm oy tne
and tbe pair partook of nuptial wine. Habbi
Illowy read the seven benedictions, and the wine
bavin tr been again presented was drank by the

couple, in conclusion tne glass was broken by

FROM DEATH TO LIFE.
A It! on Wanned Overboard Sixteen II ours
rioamift on a joint vinai ninety.
In a recent issue, says the Cleveland Herald
of tbe zbih instant, we made note oi tbe sup
posed loss of a man from the lumber barge
Buean Ward, m tow witu two otners, during t!io
storm of Monday nigbt. Searcb bavlng been
made for him, the only chance of his beiug alive
seemed to be in the possibility of his having been
picked up by some passing vessel and carried to
anotber port. J tie surprise oi tne crew can
well be imagined when the missing man ap
peared to tbeir vision in tbe cabin oi tbe barge
in this port as they were at dinner on Wednes
day. Not long after, he favored our sanctum
with a call, knowing we would, from our interest
in sailors, be glad to know oi bis safety. .
This is his narrative in brief. Between one
and two o'clock of Tuesday morning, when
about twenty five miles olf this port, during a
beavy blow, portions or tne decu loads ot lum
ber of the three barges in tow ot the steamer
Dubuque were washed overboard, and James
,Meliedv. one ot tbe crew oi tne middle barge,
Susan Ward, went over with them. The dark
ness, tbe wind andthe heavy sea prevented ex
ertions being made to look for him at the time.

of the after barge, Merrlmac, but the swashing
about of the floating lumber and tbe surging of
tbe line, compelled blm to let go and rely upon
the lumber. This, too, although it afforded him
a support, compelled bis being jammed and
knocked about to such such a degree that if he
bae not been strong and hardy he must have
been obliged to let go from sneer exhaustion.
Happily be was tough, and a swimmer be
side, ins experience ana ooservauon naa
taught htm tbat a broad board was barder to
manage in a sea tban a small one, and be accord
ingly, as soon as he could see, picked oat a joist
about ten incbes wide ana twelve reel long.
With this he shoved clear of the mass and gave
himself up to drifting. By this it is not to be
supposed be bad nothing to do but to keep hold
and float quietly along upon the surface of the
water. Tbe 6ea was, as we have said, heavy
and broken; the joist would roll, and his hands
would have to ply quite lively to enable bim to
keep bold; at times it would rear ltseii uprlgbt.
and again a new system of tactics bad to be
adopted, and so he struggled daring the long
hours from the time of his going overboard at
1 o clock of tbe morning ll.l 5 ot tbe afternoon,
when he reached shore. Tbe water was cold,
and tbe risk of cramp was added to his perils.
He had the foresight, as soon as he could, to
get oft bis beavy outer doming ana put mm-
self in as free a condition for easy action as
possible. About 11 o'clock Tuesday forenoon,
he got slht of land. He was then drifting
towards It, but In a few moments the wind
changed and he commenced drifting away.
Again the fickle wind shifted and set him
towards the shore. This time he determined not
to be entirely at the mercy of the wind and
current, and by swimming availed himself of
tbe aid of tbe elements.

Meeting of the I.ndy Vice-Recent Plana for
tne improvement oi tne r.maie.
A correspondent of the New York Evening
1'ost writes as follows:
Mount Vernon possesses more than ordinary
attractions lust now in consequence of the
meeting there of the vice-regents of the Mount
Vernon Association, a corps oi taientea women
who meet annually In council to devise ways
and means to keep up this home of the Father
of his Country, which has been confided to their
care.
A reception was elven by the council on
Wednesday, the 22d a royal day in June It was,
too cool and charming.
From the broad hlgn porcn or the nouse,
which runs across its front, we were ushered
into tbe grand banqueting ball, into the pre
sence of the twelve vice-regents of the Mount
Vernon Association.
I doubt if a more eoodly array of matrons ever
Braced that hall in the palmiest days of Mount
Vernon; if the Lees or the CustUes or the Fair
faxes could show more beauty, elegance, or in
tellect.
During the war Mount Vernon was always
neutral ground, aunougn lrequenuy sur
rmindnd. first hv Ann nart v. then bv tha other.
The recent, whose duty it fs to call together the
council, was at ner borne in tsoutn Carolina;
many of the vice-regents were also in the South,
aud little could do or was aone, iurtner man to
keep the place from actual desolation. Miss
Cunningham who was the original projector
of the idea to purchase the estate and who pro
bably has done more towards tne payment ior
it than any other woman has come to live
there, and has already done much towards re
pairing and renovating it; but the Income is
small and uncertain, coming principally irom
4Ka wuiAlnti ,lii Hsnf anil frrhm aAlltnn. fimlf
vegetables, and milk. But this is too untrast
wortby a manner of supporting the establish
ment ana estate, ana tne regent nas caueu mo
council to meet at the place, that they may see,
by personal inspection, tbe necessity ot some
great effort.
i ney nope to oe auie to reuuuu iuo colon
nades between tne noue ana tne unices,
kitchen, etc.. in the original manner, to provide
In some decree against nre, ana to arain tne
cellar, which is always partly lull ot water.
After attending to these necessary repairs, they
hope to be able to restore some ot the original
furniture ana ornaments or to replace tnem oy
suitable ones. The rooms have been greatly
improved by a little paint and thorough cleans
ing, uuge lenaers nave ocen piacea over tne
hearths and mantel-pieces to prevent their
further mutilation by relic hunters. One of the
chambers, the blue room, where it is said Gene
ral Lafayette slept, has been furnished by the
efforts of Mrs. Halsted. of New Jersey, who has
been unceasing in ber labors. Her example has
inspired other vice-regents, who have pledged
themselves to furnish each a room, and in this
way the eighteen bed-rooms will soon have an
inhabited aspect.
Thev intend to make a erreat effort to pur
chase the enuestrlan portrait of ''Washington
before Yorktown." which bangs in the Capitol.
This seems a suitable picture for the Mount
Vernon mansion, as it Is not only an excellent
likeness of General Washington, out also oi bis
military family, five officers who accompanied
blm on tbe memorable occasion, ine picture
was painted by Kembrandt Peale, and now
bangs in the Capitol, although it still belongs to
the Peale family, who are anxious to sell it.
Tbr-re are besides some family portraits of
great interest scattered through the country,
which should be collected and bung In their old
places; and some very interesting relics which
would add much to the charm of the place.
The veritable basket in which Mrs. Washington
cairled ber keys in those good old days, when
every lady, no matter what her position, was
ber own housekeeper, and the medicine chest
from which she dispensed health to her family
and retainers, are in tbe possession oi a Vir
ginia family, who will consent to part with
them for a consideration.

A Louisville paper reports that "Paris Is

Speaking of Jeff Davis, the New Orleans

as it does, that "it i some satisfaction to know
