IMPROVEMENTS.

Two More New Residences-A Hint to
the City Authorities.
Day By day the plumber Of new building
projected or in process of erection throughout
the city Is augmented, and the energy and
vi.or OF the onward march OF Improvement is
thereby constantly illustrated. The peaceful
serenity of the vacant lot on the south side OF
Wentworth street, next east of Smith street,
has been recently disturbed by piles OF lum'
Der, brick and mortar, and it will shortly be-
come the site of neat two and hall story
wooden residence, with street front foriy-
six feet long, double plazzas and pitched
slale roof. 1t will be thirty-six feet deep, and
will also have double piazzas on the rear. II
will have three square rooms, with dressing
rooms and panlries on each OF the two first
floors, and three attic rooms. A Kitchen Will
be attached to the rear. The house is building
by Mr.. J. q. Houston for Mr.. W. +. Butler,
and will be flushed during the latter part Of
May.
The same builder has just completed q two
and a half story wooden residence for Mr.. O.
E. johnson, of the clothing firm of o. E. d A.
s. johnson, at No. 27 Pitt street, west side,
near Wentworth. This building stands with G
gable twenty-sx feet long, fronting the street,
and extends backwards seventy feet. 1t is
covered by pitched tin roof, and has double
piazzas on The south front. II contains twelve
rooms, with dressing-rooms and pantriep, and
has kitchen attached to the rear.
The walls of the bnck store on the east side
of East Bay street, next north of the south.
ernmos. avenue to Boyce's wharves, which
was destroyed BY fire several years ago, have
been pulled down and the bricks Cleaned and
piled. 1t is probable that new store will
soon rise upon this site.
On the south side of Wentworth street, op-
posi,e Gleoe, is an old wooden rookery, which
maintains tumb!ing attit lde, and doubtless
would have fallen long ago were 1t not sup
ported by series OF props. The dangerous
condition of this building invites the aclion OF
the city authorities to have 1t pulled down.

MMIDDEEMARCH."
The Place Assigned to "George Elliott
by French Critic.

The Place Assigned to "George Eliot
by French Critic.
The Revue des Deux Mondes Of February 1.
1873. devotes twenty-three pages to review OF
George Eiot'e new nove', "Middlemarch.
under the title 'sLe Roman de Ia Vie de Pro-
vince en- Augletorre, The writer 9Th. BentzoD)
gives clever sketch of the book, with copious
extracts, and concludes with the following
summary.
George Eliot is certainly not deficient in
scholarship, talent or brllliancy, ncr does she
lack fertility in invention. Few English wri-
ters equal her in power. In some points she
faiIs-as, for instance, in the signal misuse Of
medical and physiological terms.
We find in this intermlnabe romance genre
pictures worthy OF observation through mag
nifying glass, even in the most highly wrought
scenes. Her long variations OF electoral can
vases oven silence criticism, 80 strongly do
they recommend themselves to notice by their
keen and delicate study OF human ambitions
and weaknesses; above all by judicious ming
ling Of philanthropy and prudent reserve when
political reform and social advancement are
under discussion; but all these noble and sub
stantial, delicate and vislbe qualities are not
enough to redeem fragrant contempt for the
essential rules of art.
"Middlemarch" is composed OF disconnected
chapters thrown together apparently by chance.
producing u3justlfable incoherence. This
may in part be excused by The fact that the
book was published in parts, q method whose
least inconvenience is weariness to the reader.
The reader must be reconciled. too, to the
dullness of provincial life in England, and
should remember this study is only back
ground to an interesting and glowing picture
made still more 80 by contrast.
In order to merit place among noVellsts OF
the first rank George Elliot must recognize the
truth that the first condition OF beauty is to
perfect the main part of the structure before
celebrating its ornament; and that perfection
in detail will not supply deficiency in plan.
Moreover, that the real is not annulled BY aliI-
anco with the ideal. II has often been said,
but cannot too often be repeated, the ideal ls
not above nature; it forms part OF the truth;
it is Indispensable to all superior work:
George Eliot has not accepted this immortal
precept, but has deliberately put observation
above imagination. and subjected to unpltvlng
analysis all that belongs to passion. senslbillty
and fancy. For this reason we must withhold
from her in our opinion place among the
worlds greatest novelis,s.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY,
ITS HALLOWED INFLUENCES IND AG-
SOCIAITONS.
The Observance OF the Festival in
Charleston.

On6IxeeLons
The seventeenth of March Is something
more than the anniversary Of patron saint;
1t has assumed the grander significance Of
national festival, and is the channel through
which pours the fondest hopes and Ioblest
aspirations OF people who love their ma
tive land with passionate idolatry which
finds no parallel elsewhere. Ages of oppres-
sion and humiliation, the treachery Of false
friends, The vlDdlctiveness Of open enemies,
the aercest chastieement Of the sword and
the torch, and all the awful agonies OF an
unequal struggle against overwhelming odds,
have apparently only served to intensity
this love and intertwIne it with the very
abres OF national being. Revealing itself
more or less at all times and under all cir0um-
stances, ityet seems to receive fresh I'M
petus on this day. The glorles and the wrongs
of Ireland are then Invested with stronger
power, and remembering the one and the
other, the sons and daughters Of the green is.
land approach the altar Of their country with
warmer devotion, and renew their vows OF
eternal fidelity with more resolute purpose.
Recalling what Ireland has been, feeling what
Ireland rs, they dedicate themselves afresh to
her cause, and In spite Of the disaster and
disappointment which have attended every
effort for redemption thus far, they look for
ward anxlously yet confidently to the hour
when ,he fetters of tyranny, the clogs OF pre-
judIce shall fall away, and Ireland take her
place among the nations of the earth.
Enshrined, then, in religion and In patriot
Ism, st. Patrlck's Day deserves to be held In
everlasting remembrance, and honored with
whatever ceremonial shall best express Ito
meaning.
How the festival will be observed In Charles
ton the readers of The NEWS have already
been Informed. While many Of our friends are
reading these lines at their breakfast tables,
the various Irish organizations will be muster
Ing for parade under the green banner at HI
bernian Hall, and the day, begun With rell-
gous solemnitles, will be closed amid the
Joyous festivities of convivial gatherings.
