George Elliot's Romola.

A timely interest is given, by the
death of the author, TO the new edition
of hor masterpiece, "Romola," just is
sued by the American Book Exchange,
New York. 1t shows her work at its
best and strongest, and at the same
time gives the reader the opportunity
to acquire lasting familiarity with the
scenes and society ofmedimval Italy. 1t
is one of the few really great historical
novels of the world. 1t is issued in
handy and beautiful form, extra cloth
binding, simple but rare elegance and
taste in design, and like the other Issues
of the Literary Revolution its cost is
almost nominal, viz. 35 cents. 1t Is one
of series intended to 70. m library of
classic fiction, which will include one
representative and characteristic work
of each OF the great authors who have
won lasting fame i'm the re lin of fiction.
Life IL too short and too full of work TO
permit reading of all that Is beautiful
and valuable in these creations of the
Imagination, but even very busy people
can find time to read one book by each
of the score of authors who have won
immortal fame aud place in the affec-
tions of the people. Not to be acquaint-
ed with them is to be ignorant of much
that is most important and most in
teresting in the history of nations and
of men. Not to possess them is to be

sources of enjoyment. Among those is

DEER LAKE, Mich, Dec. Is, 1880.
After two weeks spent in visiting
friends in the central part of the State,
we arrived about noon, one fine day
early In December at a thriving little
town called "Rcej City" on the Grand
Rapids & Indiana railroad, and very
soon We were speeding across the snow
clad country, in the direction of the
pine woods. A ride of ten miles for
the most part through dense forest of
tall pines, brought us t" q little clear
Ing near small body of water known
as Deer Lake. Here six months ago,
the trees stood thick down to the
waters edge, but the woodman's Ak has
been at work and how on space OF
about thirty acres, not tree Is left
standing, and here, three or four miles
from any habitation, little town has
sprung up, like a mushroom in the
pight. The first thing that meets ones
eve as he emerges from the wood into
open day is the great mill. $50 feet long
by 20 feet in width and As feet high.
There were used In covering the roof
90 thousand shingles. And there are
$50 braces and ] 200 lights of glass In
this immense building. As l stood and

on the 2Oih alt. She was about 20 years
of age, highly cultivated and had seen
much of society and of the world both
In this country and in foreign lands.
DIR. Haygood, President of Emory
College, Oxford, Ca, in an address to
tn. students of that College, says:
There Is vast mass Of iilliterucy
among us. There Is white as well as
black illiteracy. There are multiplied
thousands who can neither read nor
write They must be taught. Let
us wake up to our want of educational
facilities. Our public school system is
painfully inadequate. Our colleges
and universities are unendOwed, and
they struggle against fearful odds
in their effort to do their work. We
are ore hundred years behind the East
ern and Middle States. We are also
behind many of the new States of the
West.''
The most auspicious signs in the
broad arena of Southern thought is the
revival of interest in the Union as
whole, and the steady growth of pride
In this Republic as the greatest, most
powerful, and most progressive country
on earth. 1t Is evidence that the
wounds of the war are closed, though
the scars remains; that the people of the
Southern States realize that their sphere
of sction IL National, and not merely
local; that it begins to be understood
that there is grander future for the
Southern States, rs an integral part OF
the United States, with fifty millions of
people, glowing with life, energy, en-
terprize and activity, than as constitu-
ting a separate Government, limited
and restricted by the institution of
slavery, and lia le to disintegration at
any moment by the exercises Of the
right of secession by any State which
imagined that it was able to stand alone
or could profitably form new COM
pact elsewhere. In the drawing to-
gether of the North and South, In the
nascent determination to bear and for
bear, I'm the willingness to forgive

erring augury of Union and Peace for
the glad New Year!-Courier, Charles

States to be 50.152. .ss8, the number
being divided as follows: States 49,
S69, sos, Territories sos, ,633, District of
Columbia 177,s6S. Immediately upon
the announcement Of the above figures
Mr.. Cox introduced bill in Congress
for reapportionment Of members
of Congress on the basis of s01
representatives. Owing to the increase
OF the basis of representation this will
slightly change the relative members of
Congress from the different States, in
creasing some and diminishing others,
but will give the South the larger pro-
portion of the increase.

been made. From paper prepared by
the Secretary, but which his unexpect-
ed reelection prevented his presenting
to the meeting, we learn that the official
life and duties Of the present a1minis-
tration has not always run so smoothly
and prosperously as may have been
supposed. In the year 1878 the receipts
fell 80 far short of the expenses that the
Society was only able to pay 81 cents
on the dollar. The year 1877 paid out
In full and left small surplus of $263,
which made the prospect look brighter.
But those were the years Of and follow
ing the panic, the years of the centen-
nial and frosts, and a.generally..unsettled
condition of affairs, and as times began
to brighten, the officers took new cour-
age, and new life was infused into all
parties concerned. In the following
year, 1873, this surplus was expended in
improving the grounds and adding &C.
commodations for stock, and the in
creased receipts justified their manage
ment for there was a surplus after pay
ing all claims of $2O7. As. In the two
following years thousand dollars
were expended in Improvements,
and now the buildings and grounds are
in q condition not inferior to those of
other similar societies, and the outlay
has been justified by one Of the most in
teresting and profitable meetings held
since the organization of the Society.
The outlook for the future is certainly
encouraging, and continued manifes-
tailon of interest by the farming COM
munity and business men is only need

growth that shall give new impetus
to tillers of the soil and manufacturers

healthful recreation in attendance upon
our annual exhibitions. The next an

LUDINGToN, Jan. 9th.
To the Editor of the ENTERPRISE.
Ludington, the county seat of Mason
county, is situated on the Western
shores of the State of Michigan, midway
between Chicago and Mackinac. Her
small lake (Lake Marquette) separated
from the waters of Lake Michigan by a
peninsula, gives her the advantage Of a
natural harbor. A light house and
piers have been built by Government
appropriation, making it one Of the
best harbors on the lakes, which is
kept open all the year. In the
summer time the hsrbor is filled with
sail boats used in shipping her millions
Of lumber to Chicago, Milwaukee and
other ports ON the lakes, and in the
winter line of Steamers are run be-
tween here and Milwaukee to trans
port whe,t and -four which is shipped
East over the Flint & Pere Marquette
Railway and other lines to the seaport,
thence to England and other foreign
ports. An elevator with capacity Of
eighty thousand bushels IL used to trans
fer the wheat from the steamer to the
cars. The freight house Of the F. & p.
NJ. Railway fronts the harbor and re-
ceives the freight from the steamers.
The building Is three hundred feet long
and sixty wide, and contains a double
track. Twenty men are employed by
the company to do the business. The
town has a population Of four thousand
and they are from every State in the
Union, AID every foreign land, and
whosoever will may come, for the
freedom of the city is extended to all.
The society here, like that of all West
ern towns that grow so rapidly, is not
as good as in Eastern towns of the same
size. but il is being improved very fast
by a better class of citizens that are set
tling here. Christianity is taking the
place of infidelity, morality of immoral
ity and temperance q intemperance.
There are eight churches and large
temperance hall, which is also used for
concerts and operas. The new union
school. building is nearly completed
aud will be opened In a short time. 1t
is built of white brick on a stone base,
with slate roof. The dome Is sur
mounted with a large globe, a fit en-
blem of education. There are over
seven hundred school children in the
four wards of the city. Professor Foster
is the Superintendent of all the schools.
Three papers are printed here, Mason
Co. Record, Ludington Weekly Appeal
aud The Democrat. Two Republican
and one Democrat. This Is ono of the
Signal Service Stations, so that We are
! notified of storm some time In
advance. 1t is of great value to the
Sailors. Ludington is the Golden Gate
of the State of Michigan, and in a few
years will take her place among the
cities of the State.

Scientific Miscellany.

Trials with the electric light in navi-
CATION at night have lately been made
on the Rhine. 1t is hoped that the re-
suit of these trials will lead to a new
phase in river navigation.
Whereas previous investigations have
indicated a height of about $50 miles as
the greatest extent of the earth's atmos-
phere, NJ. Jose. j. Sandeur in a recent
paper places 1t at not less than 2, 200
miles.
DIR. Werner Siemens has applied cleo
tricity to the operation of elevators.
His system, which operates through the
transmission of power by the dynamo
electric machine, is as safe as the hy-
draulic system, and is claimed to be far
less costly and inconvenient.
A new French appliance is an electric
brake which is made to operate on the
wheel brake, by means of electricity
generated during the motion of the
train, and applied at pleasure. Expert
ments thus far made with this apparatus
have been entirely successful.
The rare phenomenon Of an inverted
rainbow was observed at a Prussian
town on the morning Of November 25th.
The ends of the semicircle, the centre
of which was the sun, rose and moved
westwards with the latter for some
thirty minutes, when the appearance
vanished.
1t is fact known to cloth manufa-
turers that vegetable fibers mixed with
woollen fibers cannot be equally spun,
dyed or woven together. An Austrian
scientist claims, however, to have dis
covered chemical process by which
this combination of varying fibers may
rendered amenable to the operations
mentioned.
Extensive observations Of the aurora
borealis have been made in Europe,
from the results of which Herr Trem-
holt infers that the aurora Is local
phenomenon, circumscribed by narrow
limits, aud manifested in inconsider-
able distances from the earth's surface.
The light is usually white, less often
led or green. That sound often accom-
panies the aurora, Herr Tremholt be-
lieves to be an indisputable fact.
A new theory of the cause of earth
quakes has been propounded by DIR.
Novak, of Pesth. He considers that,
besides the rotation OF the earth on its
axis and its revolution arounl the sun
a multiplicity OF motions of the earth
appear in space, In virtue of which the
earth's axis, and with 1t the equator,
shift their position. This causes varia-
ton Of the forces Centrifugal and cent
ripetaD Influencing the earth's form,
and the earth's crust has u tendency to
adapt itself to this change.
A Nuremburg chemist has devised a
new method for decorating silks and
other fabrics, which is expected to
supersede embroidery. The art is called
eidographie, and the operator has hol
low pencils which are charged with a
fluid metallic compound. On exposure
to air the compound instantly hardens.
Every color can be produced, and the
designs traced with the pencils are ex-
ceedingly durable, lasting rs long as
the materials on which they are traced.
Glass can be stained and woodenware
and pottery decorated by the same pro-
cess. The manufacture of the pencils
has already become a considerable in
dustry in Germany.
