died What Margaret Fullers father SAID
of her when she was girl-incedd reg'na-
NAV be said OF the mature woman who writes
under the name of
GEORGE ELIOT.
She is a finely-shaped woman, and quite
large, though not in the sense IN which Haw-
tkorne describes English female largcness.
She is by 10 means corpulent, nor Is there
any suggestion OF steaks and sirioms about
her but she is Of large skeleton She Is not
meagre either, but has the look OF beng
made out Of fine clay. She IS blonde, with
very light auburn hair, clear, serene, sinii-
Ing ewes, beautiful teeth. She has also Sra-
cious and easy manners, with an indeiinabie
air of unworidliness having been made
for larpe and fine societies, but never enter
ed them. In a word, she is 4 woman who,
Though not handsome, wcEll personally sat
isfv her most ardent admirers. In remark
able contrast every way to George EiotIs
MISS BEApDoN-
tho GREAT sensational novelist. One would.
ON seeing her, naturally doubt whether she
could write her name Mixed of lower clay,
the exact embodiment of the southern phrase
"commony," with color which looks like
rouge but is not, she is really indescribable
here but one may see her anywhere along
Broadway at any time OF the day.
MISS FRANCIS POWER coBBE
is huge. The first impression she makes is
that Of a great mass Of merry flesh and blood,
weighing nearly $40 pounds. She too often
has TO walk about on crutches, which gives
one sad feeling that this enormous size IS
far from being the result of, or accompanied
by. health. But when one converses with
Miss Cobbe he finds that the CHEZ charac-
teristic of her face and expression Is de.icacy.
There is lambent humor about her mouth,
subtle perceptiveness blended with sweet
ness about her, 4 sensitiveness and sensibil-
itv in her manner under which-as convcr-
sation and acquaintance 90 on-the corpu-
lence seems to shrink, and the most charm
ing physiognomy to be unsheathed. Miss
Cobbe has IN extraordinary power of CON
yersation, is one of the Witiiest of mOrtals,
and wherever she appears has about her a
groud of fascinated young people -particu-
larly of her own sex-by whose bursts OF
merriment one may know ON entering CON-
pany where the auth oress OF Iafadire Morals
is seated.

DELIcACY IN WoMPN.-If there is one
trait in woman's character to be loved
and admired above another, it is true,
modest, unassuming delicacy. The true
delicacy of woman consists in admister-
ing to the wants of the distressed, giving
counsel and good advice in friendly man.
her, and in not seeming to knew that she
has done anything but her duty, and it in
a very unobtrusive way. True delicacy
will never give offense, yet tell us of our
worst faults at all times. We have known
ladies with such a natural delicacy that
our admiration of that most estimable
trait of character-though they were very
plain and not possessed of natures beau
ty-caused them to seem to us the most
beautiful of women. Delicacy made them
SO pure IN thought, word and act, that our
admiration did not allow us to see the
fault of natures adornment after we had
known them day. A delieacy that is ma
tural Is ever modest, retiring and full of
compassion and human sympathy; it is
possessed of heart that is ever open to

Our DAILY BREAD-The Medical Er-
dminer asserts, without hesitation, that
pure bread is impossible under the prac-
tice of misunderstanding" The great
est care and cleanliness cannot prevent
the perspiration of the workers from fall
ing into the kneading- trough, nor their
cast-off epithelium from becoming lncor-
porated With the dough. 1t is not pleas
ant to think that our daily nutriment con-
tains what is not very different from the
sweepings of a Turkish bath; but such is.
nevertheless, the case, even when our
bakersare thecleanest of mankind Where
they are dirty, as We fear many Of them
are, the impurities in bread are increased
ten-fold. The bake-houses are allowed to
remain in a filthy condition. Cobwebs
hang in strips from the rafters, ready to
tall on the slightest tread on the floor
above. Rats, cockroaches, beetles, and
other vermin infest the floor, and make
playful incursions in the knead-trough
and the flour sack. Sewer gas and the
e1halations of the workers remain pent
up in the filthy cellar, and are greedily
sucked in by the porous dough The
water which is used in making the bread
Is taken from reservoir that is exposed
to the efiiuvia. and to the same dirt, and
which is seldom, ii ever, cleaned out.
The flour, too, remains for days in the
same horrid den The bakers add their
share to the general ''dirt pie" Perspi-
ration and used up epithellum are, as We
have shown, unavoidable ingredients.
Hairs and head scurf, nasal and pulmona-
~ excretions, and the chance dirt which
may collect upon them are avoidable.
but, We fear, not always avoided evils.
To this burden of horrors We may add,
that kaeading with the feet is not alto
gether unknown.

IosC III Ten years SJ9o. by, 4sO As
These were ten years of peace, and the
expenditure reached less than one-fourth of
the whole national debt, for which there is
noY nothing to show. Six hundred millions
Of dollars i'll roand numbers disappeared
like water poured through sieve. And yet
the cry is to increase the army.
According to the returns received at the
Adjutant Generals Office, the militia availa-
bic for military duty is put down at three
millions in round numbers, including the
States of Nevada, Oregon, Indiana, Georgia,
Florida, West Virginia, Alabama, North
Carolina, Delaware and Tennessee, from
which no reports had been made when the
estimate Was prepared. New York is stated
at 4S3, lS3.
These stern facts must command the at
tention OF the taxpaying people, who will
see what 1t costs them to maintain an army
of 25,OO0 men, when 10000 men are ample
for all the needs of the country.-N Y.Sun.

THE PRESIDENTS IDEA OF THE
SITUATION.
He Throws Radical Republicans Over.
board and Counts on Southern
Democrats.

'The President has not decided upon
the points in the South which he will visit
during his September trip. The route he
will mark out depends very largely upon
the reports Of the agents of the Admins
tration now travelling in the south, as well
as upon the result Of the conferences to be
held at White Sulphur Springs in Virginia
and the Hot Springs in Arkansas. The
President is confident that he will secure
enough southern Democratic congressman
to enable him to organize the House of
Representatives in the interest of his ad-
ministration. He does not apprehend any
serious results from the disaffection Of
Republican leaders at the north like Blaine,
or from southern carpet baggers like
Chamberlain and Packard"
Thus spoke a political friend of the
President who has intimate relations with
the White House, Further he said: "rhe
antagonism of the radical leaders 10 the
north would only bring southern conserva-
tives closer to his Administration. 1t is
the Presidents belief that in the event of
serious attack on his Administration by
the Northern radicals and southern carpet
baggers, southern Democrats, led by Cor.
don, Lamar, Morgan, and Garland in the
Senate, and Goode, Gibson, Walker, aud
feates in the House, would come to his
support and bring with them a large per
centage of the Congressional delegations
from the south. For this reason he does
not borrow any trouble on account of the
Iowa Republicans or the mutterings of
dissatisfaction which come from the Cam
Gronian faction in Pennsylvania. The at
tack made by Blaine at the Woodstock
gathering, instead of giving him any un.
easlness, really gives him encouragement
lie has made up his mind TO part company
with the extreme element 10 his party, and
the fiercer the representative men of that
faction assault his southern policy, the
more probability there is of conservative
southern Democrats coming to his rescue,
From the same source it appears that
Hayes's idea Of the political future is about
