Democratic inconsistency.

From the stand point of consistency,
the present attitude of the Democrats
is remarkable. The party at the out
set opposed the legal tenders. They
declared them without authority in
the Constitution, unnecessary and mis-
cbievous. They have now gone over
completely to the opposite view. They
demand their issue for purposes which
the Constitution certainly does not
contemplate in time of peace, with.
out any preteXt of necessity, and when
the mischief to be done by their issue
is sure to be very great and lasting.
If the Democrats were right in 1862,
they are wrong now. If they were
right then, they are still wrong now,
because the facts which then justified
the issue of the legal tenders no longer
exist. The present Democratic posi-
tion il untenable. Though it may
have been the duty OF Congress to
make forced loan to save the Union
from destruction, there can be no ex.
cuse for making one at this time, SIM
ply to replace the National bank circu-
lation. The former act could never be
sustained except under the implied
power of Congress to do what to it ap.
peared absolutely necessary to save
the country. There is no such i'm
piled power called for at present, and
its exercise would be an assumption

A POPULAR ERROR CORRECTED.
George Eliot and George Henry Lewes.
New York Times1

Since the death of George Henry Lewes,
many Of the newspapers have been clumsily
discussing his relation to George Eliot, whose
genius and literary labors have entirely over
Swallowed his fame and his works, deserving
as they are. The press generally speaks OF
her as his wife, which she was, spiritually,
though not legally, owing to circumstances
that could not be controlled
The wife OF the author eloped from him
many years ago; but, having 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
ineonstant. She left him q second time
and he soon after met George Eliot, be-
tween whom and himself sprang up a
strong friendship, based upon perfect men,
tai sympathy and community of taste.
They would have married, but they could
not do so, inasmuch as having once condoned
his wife's oRense, the laws OF Great Britain
were not capable Of granting him divorce.
He could not marry again until his late wife's
death, and She unfortunately, showed every
symptom OF longevity. Such conditions
naturally produced dilemma. After long
elaboration and consultation with common
friends, among them some OF the best minds
OF Europe, they decided to dwell under the
same roof, disregarding conventionalty for
the sake OF mutual assistance and mental
growth a course in which their friends, it is
said fully sustained them.
George Eliot has been known and called for
years as Mrs. Lewes, and will so continue to
be called and known, albeit the former wife
still lives, and bids fair to survive the gifted
novelist, who Ia nearly CO. and has long been
in very delicate health.

Getting Ria OF Rats.

A correspondent Of the English Mechanic
gives one or two valuable hints for Kidding
promises of rats. One very good plan, he
says, Is to nail a red herring on the wall of the
warehouse or place infested, about eighteen
inches from the floor; on this, little to one
side, beneath the fish, place brick or piece
Of wood near the WALL At an equal distance
on the other side set an ordinary steel snap
trap, not baited. The rats, In jumping off
from the brick to get at the herring, after
few attempts are sure to fall down in the trap.
This is good permanent plan, as 1t is some
what above their comprehension. II rats
have undermined the foundation walls, which
they do sometimes to such an extent as to
endanger the building, it is Of no use to at
tempt to stop them out by tamping their bur-
rows with broken glass bottles, for they work
diligently to make fresh ones. A better way
is to put shoveIful of dry sand over every
hole. The rats soon come up through this,
but in doing so let half the sand into the bur-
row, which, unlike earth, they cannot either
force or carry up again, and by repeating this
at every fresh opened place their runs become
quite filled up, and they make up your found
ations again. By this means have known a
granary that was terribly infested with rats
quite cleared of them. All their burrows be-
ing at last filled with sand they were COM
PEELED to betake themselves elsewhere.
