The election in New York last fall
might mislead those who do not study
the figures. Cleveland's majority oveI
Folger was 1872, 900, and yet his vote
was but 800 more than Hancock's, in
1880, who lost the State, while Folger'
vote was 213, 900 below Garfeld's. The
Half Breeds let the State go by
majority that made Folger's eyes snap
This year, it is said, the Half Breeds
and Stalwarts can both stand under
the same umbrella, and the Demo
Gratis will not have walk over. It is
believed, however, that they will elect
their State ticket by a respectable
majority. Last year Pattison was
elected Governor of Pennsylvania by
plurality of 10000 in consequence Of a
split in the Republican party. When
ever this breach in the Republican
ranks is healed, Pennsylvania will be
safe to bet on for Republican majority.
Pennsylvania Republicans say the
breach is healed now, but they have
not shown a serene state of mind since
the Ohio election. Two State officers

Fame and Happiness for Women.

Ssau0 ttnu 11NppaucSS1 Or "O110l.
To the very finest natures literary
fame can give but small pleasures. As
suredly George Eliot was far from being
a happy woman with all her fame and
alliher intellectual triumphs. And per-
haps the cause is simpler than might be
supposed. 1t is not literary fame that
can satisfy the yearning In woman's
heart. "Mais vous, de qui on MEASURE
que vons pas homie detre 81 sauante?"
wrote Queen Christina to Mile. LIE Fevre,
when that learned Frenchwoman sent
to queen a copy Of her edition of CALI
machus. And without saying that the
final cause of the existence ola woman
ls that she should be loved by man,
this at least must be said, that to q
woman the need of q mans love is so
pressing need that no success and no
triumph will really bring satisfaction to
her heart which do not minister, or
seem to minister, to that need. Either
this need is exhibited in such q pathetic
yearning for masculine support AZ George
Eliot discloses in the volume before 1s,
and as even 80 stronga woman as George
Sane disclosed in that cry of hers in the
Letters dun Voyageur::" "Ah, no! I
was not born to be poet; was born to
love; it is the misfortune Of my destiny,
it is the enmity of others, which have
and as Nine. de Stael disclosed when
she declared that she would willingly
barler all her fame for little beauty, or
else it is seen in such heroic aud self
conscious defiance of women's chains
and the demands of sex az we see in
Emily Bronte.
When "Adam Bede" appeared there
was much discussion as to the sex of the
novelist. The present writer never
doubted that the author OF that great
novel was q woman, and alse plain wo-
man, when he came upon this we'll
known passage: "Thero are faces which
nature changes with meaning and pa
thos not belonging to the simple human
soul that f1utters beneath them, but
speaking the joys and sorrows of FORE
gone generations; eyes that tell of deep
love which, doubtless has been and is
somewhere, but not paired with these
eyes-perhaps paired with pale eyes
that can say nothing, just as q national
language may be instinct with poetry
until by the lips that use it." If Nine.
de Stael felt how cruel are the condi-
tlons OF Sex upon woman, how much
more keenly did George Eliot feel it!
Rehind those "pale eyes, of hers, be-
hind features elongated to almost an
equine type, there lived a nature whose
atfettionateness was as deep and as far
reaching as it's intelligence. There is no
more painful spectacle than that of q
woman made se]f.conscious by the
plainness which isolated her in her
childhood. Perhaps even George Eliot's
intellectual diffdence (for exceedingly
di6ident she was. notwithstanding ali
her doctrinaire wsys) has subtle con-
nection with this great fact of her child
hood. The plainness, or rather the
gaucherie, of Emily Bronte simply
aroused in her q sentiment of heroic an
tagonism; that of George Eliot made her
humble.-London Atheneum.
