been entirely overshadowed his fame and
his works, deserving "a they are. The
press generally speaks of her as his wife,
which she was, spiritually, though not le-
gally, owing to circumstances that could
not be controlled. The wife of the author
eloped from him many years ago; but, hav-
ing repented Of her folly and wishing to
return TO him, he very generously restored
her to his heart and home. She proved to
be incurably inconstant. She left him a
second time, and he soon after met George
Elliot, between whom and himself
sprang up strong friendship, based
upon perfect mental sympathy and
community OF taste. They would have
married. but they could not do SO, mas
much as, having once condoned his wife's
offense, the laws Of Great Britain were not
capable of granting him divorce. He
could not marry again until his late wife 3
death, and she, unfortunately, showed every
symptom of longevity Such conditions
naturally produced dilemma. After long
deliberation and consultation with common
friends, among them some OF the best minds
OF Europe, they decided to dwell under the
same roof, disregarding conventionality for
the sake of mutual assistance and mental
growth, course in which their friends, it
is said, fully sustained them. George Eliot

transactions connected with the plac ing of

PUBLICATION OF THE LAWS.

At its next session the legislature will pass
npon the revised laws, and We think IL
would be a wise act If that body would pass
d law providing for the publication of all
new acts as soon as passed and approved by
the Governor in every newspaper in the
State. This could be done at nominal cost,
snd would be of incalculable value tothe peO-
pie, who are supposed to not only know the
laws but 10 obey them.-Edscurds County
Louder.
The above suggestion by the Leader is good.
The laws should be published by one paper
in each county-Ihe one having the largest
circulation-or, at least by one In each judic-
ial district. The cost OF such advertising is
comparatively rrihIng, and there is no other
way in which the Information can be brought
50 successfully before the people~LEAvES-
WORTH TINES.
There is no doubt about the propriety of
the above, but We suggest that the rate
should be made as low as is considered a
fair compensation for other like advertis-
ing. The idea of giving the work to the
paper having the largest circulation is also
a good one. This plan will prevent the
starting of "muling and puking" organs
whose existence begins and terminates with
the supply of official pap.-Rics County Ga
