GEORGE ELIoT.-Edmund Yates gives a
graphic sketch of George Eliot in the Lon
don World. A slight presence, of middle
height, as the height of women goes; "A face
somewhat long, whose every feature tells OF
Intellectual power, lightened by the perpet-
ual play of changing expression; a voice of
most sympathetic compass and richness; a
manner full of grave sweetness, uniformly
gentle and intensely womanly, which pro-
claims the depth Of the interest taken IN or
binary and obscure things and people; con-
versation which lends itself as readily To
topics trivial as TO topics profound, ana
which Is full OF humor, as, indeed, are her
writings, that Is redeemed from sarcasm by
its ever present sympathy. Such is a rough
and imperfect sketch of George Eliot as she
may be seen when she is occupied with her
sunday receptions in her pleasant home near
Regents Park. Far from strong in health
she feels the effort Of authorship so severely
the interest which she takes in the develop
ment and the destiny of the creations of her
brain, who might be better describcd as the
seneralizatiOns from her own personal know
ledge and experience, is SO painfully and alb
sorbingly deep that she is unequal to the
task OF going very generally or very much
into society. So thoroughly does she think
out her books, even 20 the structure OF her
sentences, before she commences To write
them, that unlike Dickens, though like
Thackeray, her manuscript displays scarcely.
an eTasure or a blot.

\ LEAP YEAR INCIDEST.-The Titusville

dent young man, between gasps and bushes,

have TO meet MI. Smith, and I'm afraid I'll

his overcoat, he tried to make exit through
the door OF q cupboard. Why said the
young woman, lifting her eyebrows In sur
prise, wanted yol 10 accompany me TO a

THAT SANE OLD SwINDLE.-The New
York and Hartford Pu blishing Company has
turned up at Boston with suits against
several prominent citizens for publishing
biographical sketches OF them, and ex- Mayor
Wightman has been obliged to shell out S92,
in accordance with an agreement he m ade,
some two years ago, when a canyasser for
the company visited Boston. The claim was
for So,lsl, and Mr.. Wightman had actually
signed an agreement that would bind him 20
pay that amount, but the court decided that
the signature was gained under false pre-
lenses. The contract bound him to pay the
publisher one-third OF a cent for eacn wo.d,
each and every issue (or each COPY, aud
eight cents for each engraving OF his portr ait
inserted In the work, also To pay the pub.
Usher two cents for every minutes time thar
elapsed between the date OF the signature
and the delivery 10 the publisher of the ma
terial of which the biography was 10 be
made, and for every minutes time elap5iag
between the receipt and return of proofsheets
Of the sketch, and for every minutes time
mat passed between the asking for and the
payment OF the amount agreed upon. Others
signed similar agreement, aud the COM
Iany entered the suits with the evident
expectation OF making a big thing out Of
them.
