CHARLES DICKENS.

pieit-"Tii Mystery ot Edwin Drood."
From the London Athemwm.
Mr. Charles Rent has kindly consented to oar
rrinting what Is in all probability the last letter that
Mr. Dickens wrote. On Thursday, when Mr. Kent
went to keep the appointment, Mr. Dickens was
lying unconscious, aud was within a very few hours
of his death. The "opal enjoyments" refer to the
tints of the sky : 1

You must really get rid ot tboseopal enjoyments. Tfcey

flesh was at a fancy fair In the Painted Hall of
Green lch Hospital, held, I think, for the benelit of
the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. Ue was then
a handsome young man, with piercing bright eyes
and carefully arranged hair, much. In fact, as he Is.
represented In Maclise's picture. The last time I
uaw him waa a few weeks since, when I had tho
ft pleasure of meeting him at dinner. To all outward
II appearance he then looked like a man who
I' wonld live? and work nntil he was four-score. I
was especially struck by the brilliancy and
vivacity or Ms eyes. There seemed as much life
and animation In them as In twenty ordinary pairs of
eyes. 1 was also struck by his sailor-like aspect, a
peculiarity observed by many other persons. Vet,
except his two voyages to America, he had not been
much on the sea, and was not, 1 believe, a particu
lirly good sailor. ISut we ill know his sympathy
for seamen, and I think, without being fanciful,
that his nautical air may In part bo attributed to
early Portsmouth associations. On this occasion
Mr. Diekens conversed with me chiefly about Mr.
O'arlUlt's writings, for whose 'French He volution' he
expressed the strongest admiration, as he has prac
tically shown la,kl "i nleof Two Cities,' ami he
also l elated some interesting anecdotes,one of which
1 mny venture to transfer to print, it was related
o Mr. Dickens by the late Mr. Edwin Stanton, the
famous Secretary of War In the United States Cabi
net, cin Good Friday, is5, there was a Cabinet
couDcil at Washington, and Mr. Stanton chanced
to enter the council chamber some time
alter the other members had assembled.
he entered he heard the President Bay,
"Well, eentlcmen, this Is only amuse
ment. I think we had better now turn to business.'
During the meeting he had noticed that Mr. Lincoln
WkB remarkaMy grave and sedate; and that instead
or strolling about the room, as was his usual wont,
dealing out droll remarks, he sat bolt upright In his
chair. On leaving the council Mr. Stanton asked
one of the other Ministers why the President's man
ner was so peculiar, and and received the following
explanation: 'When we assembled to-day Mr.
Lincoln said: "Gentlemen, I dreamed
a Btrange dream last night for the third time, and

I along without either oars or sails, when " At
vAl tals moment you,' said the Minister, addressing Mr.
Stanton, "ooened the door, whereupon the President
checked himself, and said, "I think we had better
turn to business." So we have lost the conclusion
of the dream.' And it was lost forever. The council
met at 2M o'clock, and on the same evening Prest-

here. We shall never know the end of Mr. Lincoln's

impenetrable curtain of death.
Dickens aw a Man of Science.
From the British Medical Journal, June IT.
How true to nature, even to their most trivial de-
t lis, almost every charactor and every incident in
ihe works of the great novelist whose dust has just
lieen laid to rest really were Is best known to those
whose tastes or whose duties led them to frequent
the oaths of life from which Dickens delltrhtad tn
I draw. But none, except medical men, can judge of
f t ie rare fidelity with which he followed the great

their less reputable friends, always wanted the
coarseness, and, let as add, the unreality, of Albert

SINGULAR DISCOVERY.
A Unman Hand la found la si fToasbead af
Pusaur mvslerious Doings In In West ladles.
There was a singular story, says the Chicago
Tribune of Monday, current among South
Water street wholesale merchants (Saturday a
story that brought exclamations of surprise, of
dlbbeuer, or 01 august iroin the many to whom
it was told. A human hand and an arm had
been found in an alley, running; between Bute
street and Wabash avenue, and, from its ap
pearance, mere was unmisiauaoie evidence tuat
it had been previously found in a hogshead of
sugar, taken out and deposited there by the dis-
eoverer, wno was too euarp to leave any clue
that might identify the merchant who was the
proprietor of that particular sugar cask. The
band was evidontly that of a female, and, from
its color, it appeared to be that of a Creole or
mulatto. It was very small and well formed,
aud was in a state of perfect preservation,
Laving been completely "Buijar cured.
Of course nobody owned the article, or knew
how It came there, or wliere It came from,
C rowds of people flocked to the spot to witness
tie btrange eight, and speculation wa rile on
lie suited, rtbulting in nothing 6uiUctory.
The Question, "how came the hand in the
sugar hogshead ?" will probably never be satis
factorily answered. A thousand causes and rea
sons might be assigned. First among those to
suggest themselves to the imagination would be
that murder had been done from jealousy,
perhaps and that the criminals had concealed
their crime by cutting the body up packing it
in different hogsheads of sugar, and sending it
to various parts of tbe country. Granting that
to be trne, perhaps the other arm may turn np
in New Orleans, the head in New York, a leg
in Cincinnati, the other in Philadelphia and
the various other portions in St. Louis, De
troit, etc.
We suggest that the arm be sacredly kept,
and when tbe rest of the unfortunate woman

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A tiallant Kencue by a. Pugilist.
About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, says the
St. Louis Democrat of the 27th inst., Johanna
Sullivan, who is certainly old enough to know
better, threw herself Into the river from the
C'arr street ferry landing with suicidal Intent.
The act was witnessed by quite a number of
loungers and passengers waiting for the ferry
boat. Among the spectators was Punch Morris,
the light-weight, who gallantly plunged in after
her, and, seizing her by the hair us she was
sinklnir for the third time, swam witn tier to the
wharf-boat, to the side of which he clung with the
nails of his right hand.
The ppectators appeared too much interested
in the straggle to olfcr the hero any assistance,
and the old woman revived suflicienlly to un
gratefully clutch her would-be rescuer by the
throat and endeavor to strangle him. Tho man's
strength was fast failing him, and matters were
getting desperate, when officer Thomas Keilley
appeared upon the scene and assisted the couple
out.
The plucky little pugilist who so bravely
risked his own life Bhook himself like a water
dog on regaining the shore, and said he believed
he was all there.
, GENERALITIES.
j- Practlciil Solution of the Indian Problem.
gome of the circumstances which complicate our
relations with Indians, if they atl'ord no excuse for
savage retaliation, would at least be considered a
eamiH brtii among civilized nations. A mining com
pany advertised in the California papers is making
preparations to send forward to districts in Arizona,
Sonera, and New Mexico their first detachment of
100 men, on or about the loth of July. "The men
will lie armed to the teeth, and go prepared to copo
with thn hostile IndlanB," says the notice. They are
to establish bases of sapply, and In general adopt
military as well as mining tactics. Probably the In
dians regard sucn pioneers very mncn as Canadians

There is a disciple of the church militant In De

strength of his faith by the vigor of his works.
Franklin street in that city, like Water street wLth

The Advance ot the "Freedmen."
A series of letters written by J. W. Alvord, Gene
ral Superintendent of Education of the Freedmeu's
Bureau, to General Howard, give in detail the facts
collected by M r. Alvord while on a tour with refer
ence to the education of the freed men. These let
ters constitute a suttlclent reply to tho constant
asseverations of those who predict the decay of the
colored race. The statements that the colored peo
sle are "dying orr," that they kill their children, that
they are inebriates, diseased, degraded or thriftless,
cannot be in any particular sustained in the face of
the facts which are presented. Neither when tested
by comparative statistics of arrests, of crimes, of

A Uevy of Parisian Beauties.
At the races on Sunday last, says a Paris corre
spondent, there was a galaxy of beauty, each rival
ing the other In luxury charms, and wonderful
head-gear. Madame Musard caused one of the great
est sensations in a turn-out with six horses, and pos
tilions in light-blue jackets, making an appearance
almost royal. Cora Pearl on horse back, though
not possessing the rich charms of her rival, rode
her Arab pony with such grace as to cap
ture the hearts of the ring. Adele Courtols, once
the prize blonde of Paris, whilst showing the en
croachments of time, deceived many as to her age
by artificial means, assisted by the extreme beauty
of tbe outline of her features. Madame Banlccf,
Victor Emanuel's old flame, appeared determined to
let the world know that she was not to be shelved.
Her face, of a remarkable palloi, and her wonder-
iuny uiacK nair, onerea sucn an extraordinary con
trast as to draw upon her the gaze of the multl
tude. lilanche Dantlgny was surrounded by
admirers. This remarkable actress, for
some time and still the rage, is, notwithstand
ing the large sums she is receiving, alwava
impecunious. Her money disappears as by enchant
ment, and rumor has it that a loan of fifty francs
from her Jemme de chambre was refused on the race
dav. Fortunately for this "great beauty" (she is
nearly six feet in her stockings) one of osr lions

Wednesday. June 39. 1870. I
The local money market is srraduallv tralnlm?
in dullness as the heated term progresses. Large
numbers of onr more prominent business men
are leaving the city on their usual summer ex
cursion to the seaside or the interior of the
country, and there is really little business doing
in any department oeyoua supplying the cur
rent consumptive wants of the market. Call
loans are dull but rather firmer, 4 per cent, pre
vailing, v ery mi'e commercial paper is otter
ing, and the range is, as heretofore, 5f57 per
cent., according to the credit of the maker and
the time of maturing.
Gold is qnlct but remarkably steady, with a
slight upward tendency. Sales opened atlll1
and closed at noon at 111.
uovernment bonds were more active, and
prices show an advance of per cent, on
closing prices yesterday.
At the Stock Board there was a fair business
in railroads, but very little further. Prices
were rather stronger. Clxty Sixes, new bonds,
sold at 100;, and Lehigh Gold Loan at bW for
me otius.
In Reading Railroad there were sales at 53-44
an advance. Pennsylvania sold at b7K:
Lehigh Valley at 583; Camden and Amboy at
119: Philadelphia and Erie at 29 b. o.: Cata-
wisea preferred at 37J-S s. o., and JXorristown at
81. . .
Canal shares were neglected, the onlr sales
being in Lehlirh at 34 V. The balance of tho
list was overlooked, but asking price show a
