george Eliot and Her Aeroines.

The paper read by Mrs. Abba Goold Wool
son, daughter of Hon. William Goold of
Windham, before the American Institute of
Instruction at Newport, r. L., was on the
subject of George Eliot and Her Heroines."
1t opened with brief mention of the dis
tinctiye excellences which have made George
Eliot's name the greatest in recent English
fiction, and which promise to secure for her
immortal remembrance among English au-
thors. She will, said Mrs. Woolson, proba-
bly, be ranked as the greatest of that trinity
of superior female n0velists which this cen
fury has produced, and which includes the
names of Jane Austen and Charlotte BrOnte.
Particular stress was laid on her depth of
purpose and breadth of view, the excellence
of her characterization, and her humor, and
on certain limitations which affect the quail
ity of her work. The speaker then passed to
consideration of the individual heroines of
her later noyels-their characters and cir
cumstances as they illustrate George Eliots
proposes and views. The prevailing tone of
gloom and despair which pervades all her
writing was traced to its source in the eonsti-
tuition of her own mind, and in her peculiar
philosophical creed. Her efforts to elevate
the race by providing for higher education
for women, remarked Mrs. Woolson,
showed the earnestness of her desire to do
her part toward carrying out the noble mis-
sion of this nineteenth century, which Vic
tor has designated as the "Woman's Cen
tury." A sketch was then given of the
ideal novelist of the future, who, with a
more hopeful thought and finer spiritual
insight than George Eliot possessed, would
leave to the world, upon her pages, such a
picture Of life, and of woman's possibilities
in it, as would tend to cheer and stimulate
rather than to depress the mental energies

cheyennes on the War Path in South
ern Kansas.
Settlers Massacred and Stock Driven
Off.

TOPEKA, Kan, July S.-This city was con-
siderably aroused last night by the reported
reception of kilograms announcing the arrlv-
al of Cheyenne Indians in the counties of
Pratt and Comanche, and that the marauders
were doing great damage to life and proper
ty. During the evening Gov. Martin recely-
ed the following from Col. Cuff, OF the
Santa Fe road: s4
The day operator at Wichita says that an out
break was reported in the southern part OF Pratt
county yesterday. Several were killed and the
rest OF the people driven off. The stock is all
driven out. One man who came into Pratt today,
says he is the only one left in his family, the rest
were killed. but the operator does not know how
many there were. All possible exertions are be
ing made by the government to protect the citl-
zens of the State from outrages by the Indians.
TOPEKA, Ks, July s. THE sheriff of
Kingman county states that news has been
received that Nescatunga, a little town of
150 persons, is in the possession of the Indi-
ans and that Coldwater some fifteen
miles west, is surrounded by Them The
sheriff says these reports may be sensational
but he requests Governor Martin to send
arms so that they may be prepared.
The governor has ordered the military to
be ready to move at a moments notice, and
has directed the sheriff of Finney county
and the mayor of Dodge City to organize
forces and send out runners to notify the
settlers General Augur telegraphs Gov
ern0r Martin that he has no information from
Fort Reno of an outbreak there but has or
dered three companies of cavalry to Barbour
county.
A report comes from Pratt Centre that a
large number of settlers have arrived there,
fleeing from the Indians, who were reported
moving north. They also report the massa-
ere of a family named Schofeld at Spring
Creek.
Adviees from Kingman now state that the
Indian scare is unfounded and that set
tiers who had fled to forts and larger set

The Indians have satisfactory account of
the origin OF the Montezuma mosquitoes.
fhe legend runs thus There were in times
Of old, many moons ago, two huge feathered
monsters permitted by Manitou to descend
from the sky and alight ON the banks of the
Seneca river. Their form was that of the
mosquito. They were so large that they flew
Toward the earth. Standing on either bank
tley guarded the river, and stretching
.ileir long necks into the canoes Of
tae Indians as they attempted to paddle
along the stream, gobbled them up as
the stork king in the fable gobbled up
the frogs. The destruction of life was so
great that not an Indian could pass without
being devoured in the attempt 1t was long
before the monsters could be exterminated,
end then only by the combined efforts of ali
the Cayuga and 0nondaga nations. Thebat
tie was terrible, but the warriors finally tri-
umphed, and the mammoth mosquitoes were
slain and left unburied. For this neglect the
Indians had to pay dearly. The carcasses
decompoSed and the particles, vivifed by the
sun, flew off in clouds of mosquitoes, which
have filled the country ever since.

AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION.
Representatives of Colleges and Ex-
pertinent Stations in Washington.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The convention of
representatives of agricultural colleges and
experiment stations began here today, The
assembly takes place in the seed room of the
Department of Agriculture, hall of consid-
cradle size in the new building in the agri-
cultural grounds The store of last years
seeds, now amounting to about two car loads
has been piled up in bags at one end of the
hall and covered with bunting, with which
material and flowers and plants from the hot
houses the hall is tastefully decorated. There
were present at the opening between so and
60 delegates, representing all the leading ag-
ricultural colleges and experimental stations
of the United States. A temporary organi-
zation was effected by the election of Com
missioner Coleman as Temporary Chairman
and Prof George Fairchild as Temporary
Secretary. Committee on Credentials was
named. Commissioner Coleman in his open
ing address of welcome briefly sketched the
discussions in Congress which preceded the
magnificent grants of lands for the endow-
ment of agricultural colleges in the several
States of the Union, and said it would be
conceded that the general public professed a
degree OF disappointment In the outcomes OF
these institutions The predominant idea in
Congress was that of interesting young men
in farming operations and in the fundamen-
tai principles of plant culture by showing
how they might realize profits in raising
crops without diminishing the fertility of the
soil Facts were submitted to Congress show
ing that the average of yields was gradually
diminishing in quantity, and the soil was be-
ing rapidly exhausted of plant food To ar
rest this somewhat alarming tendency to-
ward the spoliation of arabic lands it was
deemed advisable to encourage institutions
where the results of scientific Investigation
in vegetable physiology would be exemplifed
and their practical application in fields and
gardens clearly illustrated The results had
not been commensurate with public expecta-
tions. Complaint was made that compare.
