THE OLD TESTAMENT ON LABOR
TROUBLES.

In suggestive discussion of the adN
mirable political philosophy of the Old
Testament, the Christian Union points
out that the Hebraic constitution throws
some light on the labor problems worthy
of more careful study than has been CIV
en- to them by either legislator or NOR
alist in modern times. Among the points
enforced we're the brotherhood of man I;
the rights of the individual political
equality; a large number of small land
,wners encouragement of the credit
stem; compulsory labor for the dis
NEST poor and considerate compassion
.or the honest and worthy. On two OF
these points the Union comments as fol-
lows
Lending in all ages has been the de-
vice of wealth to acquire the possessions.
of the poor; and borrowing has always
been the high road on which shiftless-
ness has travelled to want. The Hebrew
laws put a gate across this highway; /;
forbade usury warned the inexperien-
Cd against becoming security for their
cighbors; discouraged the system of
Nedges and pawn>broking and mortgaN
and, in so far as law can accom-
this compelled the poor to bear the
of their poverty at the outset and
aggravate the difficulty by fleeing
A the privations Of to. day into the
dangerous reliet Of debt tomorrow.

GEORGE ELIOT.

So little accurate information has been
given of George Eliot and the order IN
which her works have been published,
that the facts of her life and labor are
not without interest. Ii seems that she
was born in Warwickshire, little more
than fiftyseight years ago. Before she
had published novel or gained any
literary reputation, she was well known
in London, whittier she went in her
seventeenth or eighteenth year, as a
writer for the periodical press. She con,
tributed largely to the " Westminster, "
and was at one time its editor-a remarks

was then only &C. and the Review the
ablest in Great Britain. Her ilrst sus-
tanned effort was the translation OF Strauss

Feuerbach's Essence of Christianity
Eleven wears later series of sketches
appeared in Biack7OoO9 under the title OF
"Scenes of Clerical Life, supposed to
have been based on her own experience
in the home of a Church of England
clergyman, who had substantially adops
ted her. They at once attracted attention
by their freshness and vigor Of treatment,
and brought her pen'name, then used
for the first time, into a prominence

year following she published Adam

ers Of this country as well as to those OF
Europe. Although her signature was
generally thought to be fictitious, very
few outside of her immediate circle-a
very narrow one-had any notion OF her
personality. "Who is George Eliot2 "
was widely discussed in London, most
persons feeling confident that her sex
was masculine. "Adam Bede," ," it was
positively asserted by numberless wise
acres, could not have been written by a
woman-every line of it was demon
stration of manhood. 1t is not often that
a famous novelist has written his or her
first novel so late in life. But she had
evidently been storing her mind for the
task, and had stored it richly Her
second novel. "The Mill on the Floss, "
was published in 1859, and amply sus'
tanned her fame. "Silas Marner," re-
garded by many as the best Of her books,
came two years after, and in another
year " Romola, which, though the most
artistic of her stories, has never had the
wide acceptance of the others. BY this
time she was everywhere known to be

HEROISM.

In 1906, Turin was besieged by
powerful army of the French, and though
the Turinese opposed to their besiegers
the most resolute and skillful defence,
and kept them at bay for many weeks,
by foiling their attacks with frequent sur
prises and sorties, and with heavy firing
from the walls, yet, at the end of three
months, the assailants were so far adj
vanced, that all the defensive fortifca~
tions had been mastered, and one alone
remained to the Turinese, the capture of
which, seemingly probable, would ren>
der the citadel and the town incapable
of further defence. The governor of Tu>
rim, Count Daun, in order to save the last
post of defence, and to get rid of a tres
mendous battery which threatened it,
ordered a chosen body of men to ap>
5roach the battery by undermining the
ground, and to destroy it by subterran-
eous explosion, The captain of these
miners was Pietro Micca He obeyed
Daun's orders with the liveliest solicitude
and most unremitting labor. and got so
far in undermining the battery, that
nothing remained to be done but to lay
the train of powder, and to set fire to it.
When, 10 and behold the occupants of
the battery, probably apprised of subter
raneous operations by the usual expedi-
ent of putting dry peas upon a drumhead,
which, by their disquietude, indicate
that something wrong is going on below,
began to delve and agitate the ground
from above in such manner as to ap~
prise the underminers that they might
every minute expect a meeting with the
counterminers. The roof of the subter-
raneous passage shook down so much
dust, and brought such unwelcome
noises over the heads of the former, as
to show the battery>holders had no
mind to be blown up without their own
consent. The minutes of the awful crisis
soon contracted into moments. For the
whole rody of sappers to retire without
leaving some one individual to blow up
the mine, was to give up the whole pro-
iect. No resource for its success remains
ed but for some one to set fire instantly
to the powder in the mine, though this
necessarily inferred the death of the f.
rer. Pietro Micca took this task upon
himself, and resolved to perish in accom-
plishing it. He ordered his company to
retire. Remember" he said to them,
in melancholy voice, to recommend
my tender children to the paternal heart
of our king. Let him be their supporter
and father die joyfully to serve my
country and king" He then advanced
to the mass of powder that was to be ex'
ploded, set fire to it, and blowing up the
battery, expired under its ruins. To this
devoted act Of Micca, Turin for that time
owed its preservation.

three witnesses summoned to certify in
regard to Florida frauds before the Pot

John Sherman in the Treasury and one

Quarantine.

Our merchants in New Orleans
must remember that their duties do
not extend to "health regulations"
nor does the public appeal to them
for an opinion on the question of
quarantine. The fever commission
has already decided what the "coun-
try bucks up Red river demonstra-
ted, that when communication be-
tween yellow fever infected dis
trict and healthy one is prohibited,
it is utterly impossible for the des'
ease to reach the healthy section.
Red river had scattering yellow fever
cases as high as the steamboats, came,
and none above. Galveston is clear
ly in the fever Zone (so.called) and
they escaped by vigorous quarantine.
New Orleans must elect her choice
she must choose between tho West
India trade or the trade of the inte-
rior, during the Summer months.
Should yellow fever prevail in New
Orleans next year she will be blocka-
ded to her very surburbs.

ton, described in a recent special.
At all events, the order for Wharton
to report here and explain his alleged
want of zeal has been countermand-
ed. Some Louisianians here say
this is due to the renewed confidence
inspired by District Attorney Leon
ards ferocity while here, but my own
impression is that Hayes and his ad-
visers have taken q sober second
thought and decided not to yield al.
together to the demand of the stall
Wart mob.
There is much curiosity here among
both Republicans and Democrats to
sec how Leonard will work at the
crank of the outrage mill.
Kellogg, for some reason, has late.
~ become very conservative, and
advises Hayes against anything like
wholesale prosecution under the bay
onet act.
Hayes thinks it would be the bes'
policy to ignore the alleged outrage'
in the parishes, and concentrate thu
Federal machinery on the quarre
between the Democrats and the Cit
zens' Association in New Orleans, i
any hold can be got there. He hold
that prosecutions of that style 10 thu

He asserts that the interference with
the right of the poor laborer to vote

managed in Massachusetts than in the

of politics. Certainly General Butler
has no greater reason to misrepresent
