SeQncl to Daniel Deronuss.' >
From the New York Tribune.l

From the New York Tribunel
The readers and not few of the critics OF
"Daniel Deronda are still expressing, pri-
vately and publicly, their dissatisfaction with
the termination of the novel. George Eliot
has been kind enough to telegraph US senti-
mentally from Embrun, France, where she
is staying at present, as to the fate OF her
principal characters. Herr Klesmer dies OF
excitement and rapture while attending the
performance of Wagner's Trilogy at Bay
reuth. His rich widow returns to England 4;
Hans Meyrick gets enamored of her, pro-
poses, and is accepted, and he thinks her
more of Vandyck Duchess than Gwendo-
len was. Rex marries Kate Meyrick, and
her sisters all find well-to-do and desirable
husbands. Myra dies of a slow fever in
SMYRNA, and Deronda, after wandering
through the East four or five years, goes back
to London, and accidentally meets Gwendo-
len at party to their mutual delight: She is
loveier than ever she has mastered Hebrew;
she reads the Talmud daily, and gives him
some valuable ideas in connection with the
great work of his life. She expresses her
earnest desire to embrace the faith of Israel.
She does so, and after some months of in
tellectual and spiritual communion they are
married and start out for Jerusalem, where
they still permanently reside. Their lives
are very harmonious except when she asks
him once in a while: I" Now, tell me, dearest,
what could you discover in Myra Cohen to
ensnare your affection?"

Timely Hints.

/. If man faints, place him on his back
and let him alone.
g. If any poison is swallowed, drink In
stantly half glass of cool water, with a
heaping teaspoonful each of common salt
and ground mustard stirred into 1t; this
vomits as soon as it reaches the stomach; but
for fear some of the poison might remain,
swallow the white of one or two raw eggs, or
drink cup of strong coffee, these two being
antidotes for a greater number OF polsons
than any other articles known, with the ad-
vantage of its always being at hand; It not,
a pint of sweet OIL or 'drippings," or melted
butter or lard, are good substitutes, especially
if they vomit quickly.
3. The best thing to stop the bleeding OF
a moderate cut instantly, is to cover it pro-
fusely with cobweb, flour and salt, halt and

tie a handkerchief loosely around near the
part between the wound and the heart; put
a stick between the handkerchief and the

increase the pressure until the bleeding cea-
ses, but do not lessen the pressure for an in

5. Ii your clothing take fire, slide the
hands down the dress, keeping them as close
to the body as possible, at the same time
sinking to the floor by bending the knees.
This has smothering effect upon the flames.
If not extnguished, or great headway IS got

is tired, sleep.
T. If the bowels are loose, lie down in
warm bed, remain there, and eat nothing
until you are well.
8. If the action of the bowels does not
occur at the usual hour, eat not an atom until
they do act, at least thirty-six hours; mean
while drink largely of cold water or hot teas,
and exercise in the open afr to the extent of

About three years ago, Jennie Grissinger, a
young lady of this city, was afflicted with dis
ease of tue spine, which gradually became
worse, until she was obliged to take to her
bed She was attended by physicians, who
resorted to every known medical expedlent
to relieve her except the application to the
spine of red-hot iron. Two of them held
a consultation recently, at which it was de-
termined to apply this terrible remedy, IT she
would consent to go through the terrible Or
deal. They communicated the RESULT of their
deliberations to her, but she protested against
any further experiments, and said she had
made up her mind to trust her case to super
natural agency for cure that something had
told her she should rise from her long contine-
ment next day. She rose accordingly, and
sat in a chair, The following day she walked
across the room, and since she has attended
church, walking with perfect ease Owing
to the prOtracted confinement, she IS weak,
but her spine, which was broken in three
places, has been restored to its original firm
ness. The physicians were called in to see
her after she left her bed; and expressed their
surprise at the marvellous change. Even her
lungs, which had been seriously affected,
seemed perfectly sound. Miss Grissinger,
who resides on Allison Hill, attributes her
cure to divine interposition in answer to
prayers. She had particularly fixed her mndo
certain passages in the Bible relatingt to prom
ises. The young lady is daily growing
stronger, and expects to be restored to per-
feet health

Bride and Groom Il Century Ago.

To begin with the lady. Her locks were
strained upward over an immense cushion
that sat like an incubus on her head, and
plastered over with pomatum and then sprlnk-
led over with a show of white powder. The
height of this tower was something over a
foot. One single white rosebud lay on top,
like an eagle on haystack. Over her neck
and bosom was folded lace handkerchief,
fastened in front with bosom pin contain
ing her grandfather's miniature. set in virgin
gold. Her airy form was braced up in a
satin dress, and the sleeves as tight as the
natural skin OF the arm, with waist formed
by a bodice worn outside, whence the skirt
flowed off, and was distended at the top by an
ample hoop. Shoes of white kidwith peak
toes, and heels of two or three inches eleva-
ton, enclosed her feet and glittered with
spangles, as her little pedal members peeped
curiously out.
Now for the swain. His hair was sleeked
back and plentifully beflowered, while his
queue projected like the handle of a skillet.
His coat was sky-blue silk, lined with yel-
low his long vest Of white satin, embroider-
ed with gold lace; his breeches of the same
material and tied al the knee with pink rib
bon. White silk stockings and pumps, with
laces and ties of the same hue, complete the
habiiments of his neither limbs. Lace ruff
fles cluster around his wrists, and q preten-
tious frill, worked in correspondence, and
bearing the miniature of his beloved, finished
his truly genteel appearance. a.

Husband and Wife.
IFrom the Christian UniOn.]


The good old times when wife was to
be mere echo, and family repeat her hus-
bands latest opinions, have gone. II that is
your notion of a wife, you ought to have
lived in Corinth in the first century; or you
ought to live in India now. And even in
India you would have to keep out of the way
of troublesome Miss Britain. Your wife is
entitled to her own individuality, to her own
opinions. They ought to clash sometimes
with yours and you both ought to know how
to strike fire in conversation and have no
explosion. Because you are a Democrat is
no reason why she should not be Repub-
lican because you are Congregationalist is
no reason why she should not be an Episco-
pallan. Shame on the notion that a wife is
only cipher to stand on the right side of her
husband SO as to make unit into 10. A dumb
wife is a disgrace to her husband. An inde-
pendent wife is his glory. IF she never diff
fers from you, it is because she is serf and
you are despot. She ought to be your best
adviser. She ought to be your most conf
dental counsellor. The self-conceit of men
amounts to genius There are many hus-
bands that would as soon think of taking ad-
vice from their wives as from their children.
But it is only the fool who is too wise to seek
counsel

A marriage occurred in London recently
which possessed some romantic features. A
few months ago paragraph in the papers de-
scribed melancholy accident which befel
young man while out shooting. A stray shot
entered one of his eyes and extinguished 1t.
This gentleman was highly educated and con-
nected, though without fortune, and he was
only twenty-three years of age. He was
brought to his lodging house in London. where
he lay suffering. But wealthy and hand
some young widow, On whose estates he
happened to be shooting when the accident
occurred, came and took up her abode in the
same house in order to nurse him. Her care
was extended through several weeks, but,
alas, the other eye sympathized with that
which had been put out and it, too, was eH-
tinguished, leaving Tic youth anu scholar
hopelessly and totally blind. But tine pretty
widow was equal to the occasion. She pro-
posed to him-marriage. The result was a
splendid company alighting at the door Of a
fashionable church in our neighborhood a
beautiful dame of thirty, attended by her two
little children, leading blind youth of
twenty three to the altar, there to endow him
with all her extensive worldly goods and

Yet is himself the best.

She knows you've been with him.

ABOUT GRANT.
A Place Prepared For Him.

Washington, Feb. ga plan is on
foot for providing a place for Grant
which promises to secur him Il position
and to keep him still, in one sense, in
the service of the country. 1t has long
been desired when the rest of the la
tional debt come to be refunded, that
the syndicate assuming the work should
be under American control and it is
now proposed that some strong New
York bank, either the Bank of Amer
lea or the Bank of Commerce, be Or
ganized as a national bank, with a cap
ital of ten to twenty millions, for the
purpose of conducting all further oper-
ations for refundiug the national debt,
with representatives in the board of di-
rectors from I'll members of the present
syndicate, and also from the houses of
Brown Brothers, Earrings, and Won
Hoffman. The plan proceeds upon the
idea that Grant could be chosen and
could be induced to accept the presi-
dency of this bank. This would give
him an assured income with an occ@pa-
ton sufficiently dignitied and agreeable,
while it would crafty his family feeling
by fixing his future residence near that
of his sons. Ulysses Grant, Jr., has
been in New York for Il day or two
consulting with bank officers on the sub
ject, and there is a strong disposition
among some of the mOneyed men, with
whom the matter originated, to carry it
through.
