latlons made is that of the influence Of cir
cumstances and association on George
Eliot's beliefs and literary geuius. With
all her inherent strength ofmind there was.
as she somewhere says, something chame-
leon-like in the readiness with which she
took color from her surroundings. Prob
ably no great writer was ever more de-
pendent for mental activity on books and
the conversation OF friends, and yet with
the hne, true instinct of genius she assimi-
lated only what was essential to her own
growth-of that growth the lines were pre-
determined, but it is curious to watch the
gradual effort fulfilling the promise of
youth. In spite Of abnormal constituencies,
of almost constant ill-health and conse-
quent depression Of spirits, of religious
opinions settled finally only late in life, she
builds slowly yet surely in the direction of
her destiny, till at length the GROWING
glory of her genius is attained.
Of those who aim to perform great tasks
for which they are untitled mentally,
George Elliot writes:
"What should like to be sure Of as a re-
suit Of higher education for women-a re-
suit that will come to pass over my grave
is their recognition of the great amount
of social unproductive labor which needs to
be done by women, and which is now
either not done at all or done wretchedly.
No good can come to women, more than to
any class of male mortals, while each aims
at doing the highest kind Of work, which
ought rather to be held in sanctity as what
only the few can do we'll. [ believe, and |
want it to be we'll shown, that a more
thorough education will tend to do away
with the odiouS vulgarity Of our notions
about functions and employment, and to
propagate the true gospel, that the deepest
disgrace is to insist on doing work for
which we are unft-to do work of any
sort badly"

The whole nation will sympathize in
kindly sorrow; bearing in mind as the hours
pass, that sick room where spirit cour-
ageous and strong Of will hardly succumbs
to relentless enemy.
There is now but little doubt that the
hours Of General Grant are numbered, the
bulletins from his sick room are not hope
full. Walking about his house; sitting
down to the work of that book, which his
nerveless hand can never complete yet is
he heroic. Heroic because he is uncon-
querable. The world is gazing upon his
last conflict, death is remorseless. Yet
with that quiet pluck which the world 50
admires in General Grant he is holding
up his head, and waging a hand-to-hand
conflict with death. As this goes on, as a
unit, the nation regards this man with rev.
erent admiration, now we remember his
bravery, his compassion when he was
triumphant in battle, his fortitude in re-
verse. Now we remember the quiet
courage of his demeaeor through every
trial Of life, and hoping for him, yet dread
to think that this last enemy, with which
he contends, can never be vanqui8hed.

Tried to Ride a Broncho.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco ChrOnicle
The broncho is what the cowboys
call "high-strung." If you want to
know how high he is strung, climb up
on to his apex. We rode a broncho
once. We didn't travel far, but the
ride was mighty exhilarating while it
lasted. We got on with great pomp
and a derrick, but we didn't put on
any unnecessary style when we went
to get off. The beast evinced consid-
cradle surprise when we took up our
location upon his dorsal fin. He
seemed to think moment, and then
he gathered up his loins and delivered
volley of heels and hardware,
straight from the shoulder. The re-
coil was fearful. We saw that our
seat was going to be contested, and
we began to make a motion to dis
mount, but the beast had got under
way by this time, SO we breathed a
silent hymn and frightened our grip.
He now went off into a spasm of tall,
stiff-legged bucks. He pitched US SO
high that every time we started down
we would meet him coming up on an
other trip. Finally he gave US one
grand farewell boost, and we Glove the
armament and split up through the
hushed ethereal until our toes ached
from the lowness of the temperature,
and we could distinctly hear the
music of the spheres. Then we came
down and fell in a little heap about
one hundred yards from the starting
point. A kind Samaritan gathered up
our remains in acigar-box and carried
us to the hospital. AS they looked
pityingly at us the attending surgeons
marveled as to the nature of our mis-
hap. One said it was a cyclone, an
| other said it was railroad smash
up; but we thought OF the calico-hided
pony that was grazing peacefully in
the dewy mead and held our peace.

Allan in the entrance, "let me out
I'm choking! I'm dying! Hurry"
A brilliant idea darted into Allan's
mind. In Mr.. Carston's extremity he
saw his own opportunity. Why not
make Nora the price Of her father s
release?
''Give your consent to my marriage
with Nora, and [ will release you I'M

"You shall never have Nora?" ex-
claimed Mr.. Carston, with a gasp OF
defiance.

and gasped almost inarticulately:

Allan thrust aside the man at the
pump-handle, undid the complicated
fastenings Of the box, and his future
father-in-law dropped Imply into his
arms.
After he had revived his patient with
fan and sal-volatile, Allan flew to
find Nora.

SAILING OUT.
BY ELLA DARE.

Sailing out; sailing out, from the moment O
birth,
Sailing out, Ger wonderful earth!
Each babe with its cry,
Is ship going by,
On the ocean of life,
Through its storm and its strife.
With pennons unfurled
1t crosses the world,
I'LL 1t catches the breeze
From invisible seas,
And passes from sight
TO harbor of light.
We are nearing the shore
we are all treading DER
The paths trod by loved ones before.
The dangers we dare,
The clouds of despair,
They have borne as their share
trough the passage of years,
Through the shadows and fears,
Through the griefs and the tears
Whilst the sky that's now blue
was fair to their view;
And they joyed in their way
L en- as we do to-day.
If this life be all,
II the shroud and the pail
Mean the full stop and the end
Then let US no longer defend
The Author of being, or name Him as great,
Since cruel or cold He can create
The seed and the bloom, to blight at the last,
The promise of progress in which it is cast.
Down deep in the soul
Is an unmeaSured scroll,
Whose surface is spotless and white,
Whose substance, illumined with light,
Is stamped as Immortal from courts up
above,
And carries the message of amending love.
Then let us feel sure
That we are secure
That we are afoat
In the Fathers own boat,
And that He, in His wisdom, Will pilot us DER
The channel of change, to the heavenly shore

"A Successful Petitioner.
from the Sacramento Bee. I


Robert Barnett, henewly appointed
collector of internal revenue for this
district, can stand the onslaught OF
place-seekers remarkably well for one
who has had no more experience in
politics than he, and he greets all ap-
plicants courteously and good-nat-
uredly. He came near having his
equilibrium upset by citizen the 9TH
er day, though. It will be remembered
that Mr.. Barnett was a member Of the
last assembly, and many of the Demo
Gratis of this city took time by the
forelock by having the legislature sign
petitions recommending them for all
kinds of appointments and positions.
These petitions were SO numerous
during the latter part Of the session
that the members frequently signed
them without looking at their con-
tents. The other day Mr.. Barnett
was in the reading-room of the Capital
Hotel, when he was approached by q
smiling stranger, who shook hands
tions, and finally remarked:
81 suppose my position is all right. +"
"And what POSITIONS that ?" bland
ly inquired the new collector.
deputy revenue collector for this
district, of course" remarked the
stranger.
"Well," said Mr.. Barnett, "you can
hand inyour petitions and recommen-
dations, as others have DONE"
"Oh, | don't need any," replied the
applicant, cbeerily. 81 already have
your endorsement" and he drew out
a long petition addressed to "Mr. -,
collector Of revenue for the fourth
district of California" which set forth
in strong terms that that the bearer
was in every way worthy of being APP
pointed deputy collector, and on which
was the bold signature of Robert
Barnett"
The collector was rather staggered
for a minute, and it is said the enter
prising applicant will have place in
the office, but not the one he sought.
