The literary career of George Eliot
has reached its present renOwn by
steady perseverance. Her first novel
brought her only $500. She sold the
"Nhll on the Floss" for 5000, and
"Romola" brought SI5, 900. 1t Is not

New Orleans Times estimates that the
sugar and rice crops viii be abundant,
the latter yielding 10000 barrels more
than il 1873. In sugar, the losses by
floods will be about 10000 hogsheads,
and the total yield from 90, 900 to 100, 600
hogsheads. The acreage devoted to rice

pected to be 10000 barrels.

scribed the righteous man as Zone,
who, without doing any injustice, yet
has the appearance of the greatest in
Justice, and proves his own justice by
persevering against all calumny unto
death" Again, he predicted that if
such a righteous man should ever ap-
pear on the earth, che would be
scourged, tortured, bound, deprived of
his sight, aud, after having suffered all
possible injuries, nailed to a post.
Explorations have recently been made
into the mounds OF Ottumwa, Iowa. In
one, a mass of charcoal, bed OF ashes,
and some calcine1 human bones were
found, showing that cremation was
practise1 by the people who erected
them. As Indians never barn their
|, dead, this adds another proof to the
theory that they were not the original
mound builders. The similarity OF the
mounds of Mexico and of Iowa point to
, the fact that they were constructed by
the same race of ancient Mezicans.

number and varieties OF their in
dustries, and it is to this cause that
Northern and Western cities owe then
great populations. It would be vel
