was going on the stand, and he said Il

are therefore unable to say positively
whether or not the rumors are true, but
everytrea1er can draw his own inference.
We know this, however. that he has con-

here about his candidacy, and they all say
that he will be a candidate. Without an
exception, so far as we have heard, all
his former Democratic friends have adj

we can assure the Democrats of this dis

Women Whose Pens were Cooler
than their hearts

Two great ia OF letters OF our time
have suffered much In literary reputation
iu consequence of their personal ACTIONS.
One of th sc was George Elliot, the
other George Sand" The purely Inter-
airy character OF each was open TO attack,
because each had certain serious aud un-
pardouable faults a a writer; but quite
apart from these, the personal proceed.
ings of each caused a fairly we'll founded
direction To exist against her writings, An
objection which time has done but little
To efsce among those who once enter
tanned, or are now likely to entertain, 1t:
George Elliot became. IN mature age and
FROM deliberate purpose, the mistress OF
George Henry Lewis, a 'p~hilosorher,
who was also, it Is said, a good deal oil .
fop. George Sand began her eccentrlci
ties by wearing mems clothes then she
became the mistress, successfully, OF "
consumptive cyclists; one of them being
Alfred de Musset, a poet OF genius, and
a man of shockingly repulsive habits;
the other, Chopin, the musician, who
was only a weak poor creature, a bundle
of nerves, with a talent for musical ex
preston.
However illogical 1t may be, it is GER
tainly perfectly natural that those who
read the works oil certain writer's should,
especially when those writer's aspire to be
teachers, associate the effects of the doc
trines with the lives Of the preachers. ln
George Elliot's life there is a moral flaw /,
in her writings the movements OF passion
are supreme, and human nature is strip
ped of its one safeguard of Christian Pu-
rity.
George Sand came, by inheritance, TO
have a most singular possession OF blood
| and bad tendencies. Her grandmother was
the Legitimate daughter of the great
Marshal SAKE. SAKE was himself the IL
legitimate son of Augustus of Poland, bis
mother being Aurora o konigsmark.
whose early career was one OF reckless adj
venture. The grandmother barred Count
Horn, who was also Legitimate. Her
mother was originally of the lower orders,
a woman of beauty, older than Maurice
! Dufon, her husband, and not Of the most
s~potless reputation. Her early education
was neglected. Her mother, who had
her first. was of no creed. Her grand
mother was skeptical disciple of Voltaire.
And against all this inherited tendency
and acquired indifference, she had only
a couple of years in a convent to strength
en- her. Her husband, when she married,
was a dull man, who took to drink and
evil course. And her necessary compan-
ions 10 literature in the Paris of her time
were the Bohemians who lived In garrets
and passed precarious lives. If in such
circumstances the young woman of genius
went wrong, even with two children to
anchor her, we may lament it, but We are
not surprised. Genius Is seldom a res
traint against moral weakness. 1t is the
saving merit of George Sands career
that She got over her iollies early enough;
but her eccentricities chung to her. Hen

of the building will be of brick, with
marble trimmings, aud patterned after
the Grecian temple. In the front are to
be the Office and reception-rooms on the
ground floor, aud a cOnctergerie above,
where the superintendent will live.
The main hall or chapel will occupy the
body OF the building, and will be severe
ly simple in its interior finish, the walls
being tinted. and the ceiling finished i'm
square half-timbered panels or with
open timbers. The side and rear walls
within the chapel will be utilized as a
cOlumbarium, wherein, in inches, may
be placed the ashes of the deceased.
There will be a dais at the rea with
l%ecturn, where all creeds will stand on
an equality. In front OF this will stand
the Catatalquc, a permanent fixture,
within which the body will be placed as
it Is borne into the chapel. After re-
ceiving the body the catafalque will be
closed. The section of the chapel floor
under the catafalque will constitute the
floor of an elevator, by means of which.
as Don as the catafalque is closed, the
body will descend uolselessly and inn
perceptlbly TO the in~cineratiny chamber
in the basement. The service and the
incarceration will proceed Simultaneous
ly, an an hour or less after the body
has been placed therein the catafalque
may be opened, and the urn containing
the ashes of the deceased taken there
from.
Descending to the basement of the
building, we find in the front on the one
side a hot and on the other a cold re-
celvlng vault. The former is intended
for cases of possibly suspended ami

will be so high that if there is life in the
body it must speedily manifest itself,
and If not, the evidences of death will

There are fully 1900 practicing attor-

of this number there are perhaps 300
who do not make over 1900 per annum.
They are mostly all young men who
live at home with their parents or rela-
tives and are not compelled to make a
living. Then, again, there are almost
