THE LATE GEORGE ELIor.-The Eost nota-
bic event in the literary world of 1cent date
is the death of Mrs. Cross the famous English
novelist, better known as George Eliot. She
has been long recognized as one Of the leading
lights OF English literature and the formost
of female writers. Regarding her works,
however, there has been considerable con-
troversy, and there exists large class OF
readers who hold that many of her wise say
ings are so involved as to be utterly incom-
prehensable. Her plots were never marked
10y originality, and critical analysis of her
writings reveals a curious lack OF attention to
what is generally termed dovetailing." In
the analysis of human character and the
probing of mental traits which lie beneath the
surface of ordinary observation, her equals
have never been acknowledged, and the pub
lie verdict on her works will place them in
the highest niche. Much has been said and
written against her private life, which has
given the outside world an unjust opinion of
her domestic relations. She lived for some
years with Henry Lewis, man who at the
time had wife living in a lunatic asylum,
and according to the laws of England the
wife's insanity, although acknowledge to be
incurable, was not sufficient grounds for
divorce. For a long time this circumstance
was a partial bar to her socially, but her
genius and purity of character gradually de-
molished these barriers, and her house be-
camo tho favored resort of the best minds and
society of England. Mr.. Lewis, on the death
Of his wife, married lrer. 1t was afterwards
reported that she married Walter Cross, and
the report was denied. A relative of the de-
ceased who is a resident Of Carson informs the
writer that she was not married to Cross, or if
so, her relatives were never made acquainted
with the fact, and have always denied it.
over her reported marriage with Cross there
has been some dispute in English newspapers
quite recently. She wrote ''Scenes in Clerical
Life, madam Bede, ""The Mill on the Floss, i"
''Silas Mariner" "Romola," "Felix Holt, the
Radical" "Middlemsrch,', "Daniel Deron- |
da," together with some smaller stories and
poems.
