Washington md Jefrerson.

Hamilton Fish, in recent interview, called
attention to the fact that General Washingt on
WAS voted for rs president three times. 1t is
tue he was not a candidate, but nevertheless
in 1897 he received one electoral vote from
North Carolina and one from Virginia. Mr.
Fish said: Washington had designed to leave
office at the close Of the first term, and had
prepared message with that object. He
yielded to his party friends, and filed second
term, and then feeling tho pains of q life in
tho public service he insisted upon having
leisure and repose. Yet, after going back to
Mount Vernon his political interest reawak-
ened, and preparations TO bring him ont tho
year he died were rapidly going on. He has
loft no writings nor is thero any public statute
of tho time, indicating that any body thought
it would have been an offense TO run him
again"
OF Jefferson and jackson, Mr.. Fish said
"rhere was a great deal Of what we may call
demagogsm In his nature and he at first opposed
any government at all, because q president
was reeligible; but when he came to the close
of his own first term we ceased to hear any
revival of his soruples. Aud think il is a
matter OF record that bo was disappointed in
not being run the third time. A strong party
had arisen, however, in Virginia, opposed to
taking him up, led by John Randolph. The em.
barge of Jefferson had raised great opposition IA
him. Randolph opposed Madison, too, as q con-
tinuance of Jefferson. AS to General Jackson,
he was very old man at the close of his
second term, and obliged to take refuge on
his farm. Though it is historically said he
was only soventy-one years old when he went
into office, ii was charged that at the time he
began to look toward the presidency he moved
his age back several years. i have always
thought he was nearer eighty than seventy
because he was United States senator while
Washington was president"

George ElIopsn Marriage.

The formal announcement in the New York
Times of the marriage of John Walter Cross to
Mary Ann Evans Lewos, in London, recalls
the disputed question as to whether or not the
bride was the first wife of the late George
Henry Lewes, the author, or Marian Evans,
better known as "George Eliot tho novelist"
who lived with Lewes after his separation
from his first wife. Times reporter called
upon a wellknown gentleman of New York
city, who is near relative of John Walter
Cross, aud learned from him that the lady
who has married his relative is really George
Eliot" and not the lady who bore the legal
title of Mrs. Lewes. Mr., Cross is twenty years
the junior of his bride, but is, according to his
relatives, infatuated with the literary talents
and charming conversational powers of the
eminent author. As proof of tho fact that Mr.
Cross did not 'marry for money" it is stated
that no insisted on having his wife's large for
tune settled upon the children of the original
Mrs. Lewes, and that was demo. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gross are now enjoying an extended tour
through Italy aud the Tyrol. They are ex-
pected TO return to England in August, when
