A FAMOUS GRAVE.
That OF George Eliot in Highgate
Cemetery,

4
London Letter in Gin cinnati Commercial.
George Eliot is buried in Highgate
Cemetery. She had not much that was
bright and CHEEKY in her life, as the
world goes. Even i'll death she sleeps
( in the sorrowfalest spotin all London.
The ground of Highgate Cemetery is
stiff, iron-like clay soil, 1t holds mois-
| ture tenaciously. Water seems to ooze
| out and lie upon the surface, as though
the ground has gathered and held fast
all the tears ever shed for the generations
of dead who are buried here. All the
rest of London was dry and bright the
day we went there, but Highgate was
damp and melancholy. Water stood in
puddles under our feet as We walked
along the lane beneath dark, tunereal
trees.
There is something unutterably
dreary and depressing in tine very at
mosphere of the place. The horrible
damp and gloom seemed to chill
one to the marrow of his bones,
even on that sunny October day. And
here, in this sorrowful, weeping place,
all alone in the midst of stranger graves,
not even by the side of the man she sac
rifced her life for, sleeps the greatest
of writer's among women.
She was probably buried i'll Highgate
because G. IL. Lewes had been. But he
is buried diagonally off to her right, in
the tier of graves behind hers.
1t was past the hour for visitors
when we reached the cemetery, and the
gates were closed. But we applied to
the superintendent, :.and, although the
rules were very strict, he stretched
them so us to let in two strangers and
tourists from America, and kindly sent
his son with lis 10 show us the tomb. 1t
was courtesy which l shall remember
gratefully as often as recall my visit to
the grave of George Eliot.
A slightly monument has been reared
at her head, by her husband, Mr.. Cross,
it is said. 1t is single. tapering shaft
of gray Scotch granite, of the kind
known us ''salt an | pepper" Upon it's
base are carved the two lines from her
own pen, which are now known wher-
ever the English language is known.
The whole inscription is like this:
"Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence
Here lies the body

Upon the grave were two ofthose hid
eous funeral emb!ems made of black
and white beads, which are so much the
fashion in Europe. They were falling
to pieces. One | remember bore the
motto: "In Memoriam" The other was
horseshoe shaped. What was left of it

4 Big Nevada Wildcat.

On Sunday night last, as Daniel
Tyer and Bill Dye were strollinga about
a mile from their home, near Wallace,
Calaveras county, they heard their
dogs making a noise u short
distance away. On reaching the scene
Of the trouble they found that the
dogs had freed a monstrous wildcat.
The cat seemed to feel quite secure,
and IL stretched itself at foil length
along one Of the branches of the tree
and turned Its half sleepy looking eyes
on the dogs beneath. Tyer got his
shotgun loaded with buckshot as
quickly a. posAibls, and blazing away,
Knocked the wildcat off the limb to
the ground. A terrible fight ct once
ensued between the animal and the
besiegers. 1t soon lvsnquished the
dogs, and then started for the young
men. Tyer was just as quick as the
cat. He had but one charge in his
gun, and he knew he must put that
whore 1t would do the most good. As
the cat made q spring Tyer fred, kill
Ing the Infatuated animal. The cat
weighed q hundred pounds. 1t was

A FlENDIS 4 PLOT.
An Unsuccessful Attempt II Destroy
the Latin IL Rand Works Dis-s
covered-Gravele in
the Cake.

New YORK, March 3U.-What is
thought TO have been a deliberate plot
to pillow up the Latin & RAND powder
works, at Singaok, PAssaic county, N.
j., near the Mountain View station
on the Delaware, Lackawsnna &
Western railroad, was discovered on
Wednesday In time to prevent the
demolition of the buildings and the
probable loss of several lives. The
works consist of a number of small
buildings, connected by q tramway.
The ingredients of the powder are
ground separately, and then sent to
be mixed, and the mixture pressed
into large cakes In the 'wheelhouse."
These are taken to the corning. mill,
where they are broken into Jumps.
The Jumps are, In different buildings
further on, g~ranulated into the re-
qulred sizes and finished.
The discovery OF Wednesday was
made by an employe named Kelly,
who, q one of the cakes was about to
be sent to the oorning-mill, noticed q
pebble Ia 1t. This Is a source of dan.
ger carefully avoided, as the contact
of the flint with the iron breakers In
the corning mill Is certain to produce
a spark. Kelly removed part of the
cake aud found a handful Of gravel In
1t. Suspicion was aroused, and the
works were at noe stopped. 1t
seemed certain that the gravel mugt
have been put into the cake by de-
sign, as there was so large a quantity
of it, and that it must have been put
In at the wheelhouse where II could be
safely done, as the pressure there Is
not sufficient to cause sparks.
The motive sscribed by those who
suspect a deliberate attempt TO blow
the works up Is jeslously on the part
Of some of the older hands towards
some new men, powdermskers of OK.

In place Of some discharged workmen.
The old hands who remained did not

fact that most Of their number were

whelmed by the fiery cascade. The
stream was estimated to b. fifteen
miles long and two or three miles wide,
and It's flow continued for eight weeks.
Again, In 1893, Cantania was shaken
to the ground, and 10 600 people were
destroyed by an eruption and earth
quake, which did not cease until fifty
cities and towns In Sicily and 60, 600
to 100, 0C0 Inhabitants were sw ept
from existence.
Tho record shows on increase In the
frequency of the eruptions within the
last three or four centuries, probably
because there has been q greater care
taken In noting the events and pre-
serving whatever registry was made,
rather than because of an actual in
crease In the number. Although
seventy. nine eruptions have been duly
noted, the latest in the list being
dated In 1868. The volcano, whether
quiescent or In action, has been Justly
called "famous," "immense," ''ter
