George Elliott.

1t is assumed by some that George Elliott lived
in conjugal relations with a man who was legally
married to another, and that in doing so she de-
parted from her ideal and felt that it was sin and
degradation. The facts of the case are these:
George Lewes was married unhappy, and his
wife, by her infdelity, gave him scriptuarl ground
for divorce. Size came to him repentant and he
forgave her. This in the English law, by the
English statute, condoned her offence and des
stroyed his right to bring suit for divorce in Eng
land. His wife deserving him thereafter, he ap-
piled for divorce in Belgium, and it was granted
to him according to Belgian law and in Belgium,
and according to Belgian law, he was legally mar
red to Marian Evans, and thereafter they lived
together in closest bonds of affection.
Now, is it not time that American writer's ceased
to print the SANDER that she lived with man TO
whom she was not legally married? True, it was
not recognized by English law but the majority
of cases of divorce in this country would NOT he
recognized by that standard.
Mr.. Lewes cut himself off from the benefit Of
the English law by his practice of Christian for
bearance and forgiveness. Had he been unfor-
giving, had he not given his erring wife one last
fruitless trial. he could have obtained his divorce
in an English court, could have married George
Elliott or Marian Evans in an English church, and
her enemies would have lacked their fragile foun-
datlon for their cruel SANDER.
In some particular States first cousins are for
hidden to marry. If they cross the boundary in
to another State and are there legally married, are
they thereby outside the pale of decent society?
In South Carolina the laws do not provide for anv
such thing as divorce. If one living in South Car
DINA had scriptual cause for divorce and secured
it in another State, would his marrying thereafter
be any crime, or subject him or his wife to even
the slightest social ban? We know the contrary.
we know that there are many, many couples in
America good Christians, ministers Of the eospel
deyout men and women, who are married but
could have not SO married under English law.
George Elliott is in the same company as these.
They could none of them have married under the
English aw.-Ladies' Messenger.

endeavored to teach young friend to sing an air
by playing it over on the piano for him while he
tried to initiate the tones with his voice. Failing
in this it occurred to Miss Glover to paste letters
over the keys and write corresponding letters on
slip of paper in the order in which they should oc-
cur to bring out the tune.
This proved SO successful that the young lady,
assisted by her sister, soon began to build on this
foundation the ''Tonic Sofia" system. By dis
carding letters and using sylables-except at the
beginning of tune to tell where the keynote lay,
they tested their work by practical use in the par
ish schools. Like all great reforms it met with
opposition and severe criticism. Womanike,
Miss Glover patiently and perseveringly toiled on.
Her first work containing these new educational
principles was published in 1885, and attracted the
attention of Mr.. John Curmen, who about five
years later began to systematic the great princi-
pie set forth by Miss Glover Many educators
became interested and their experience helped to
perfect the method. In 1871 Mr. Curmen began
publishing itin book form, and by 1865 all the old
masters were stereotyped in Tonic Sofia notation.
By 1867 some of the highest prizes ever awarded
at musical competitions had been captured by
"Tonic Sofia associations. The system had been
adopted by "IIer Maiestys' Board (publc)
schools Instrument books had been published
and the new method had been taught in England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales, where it has since
supplanted all others for church, school and social
purposes. The London College, established in
1875, became the great centre of musical authority
and influence. 1t has been introduced into Aus
traIia Madagascar Hong Kong, South Africa,
Spain, Canada and many other countries, coming
to the United States through Mr.. Theodore F.
Seward of New York. 1t has been firmly estab-
shed in many of the educational centres of this
country, and the most classical musicians are its
warmest advocates. Prof Powell will complete
his work of instruction here in short time, but
musicians, or those who understand the principles
of music can still avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity of learning the method if they wish to do so
by calling at the church in the afternoon or even
ing, where they will find an enthusiastic class of
pupils that have made rapid progress under his in
structions.

OGDEN, Feb. 1.-THE most important
election that has ever taken placeln Utah
took place to-day. II was a fight by the
Gentiles or liberal party, for foothold in
the territory by the election Of the mayor
and council. The new city hall was
crowded at all Its entrances, where the
election proceeded at four different ballot
boxes. The city voted as whole and not
by wards, and 10 accommodate The large
number Of voters four voting places we're
necessary. The Mormons, or peoples
party, now havs the Offices of the city, and
at daylight brass bands and drum corps
were promenading the streets. With the
beginning OF voting system OF intimida-
ton commenced on the part OF the Nor
mons by arresting Gentiles before they had
a chance TO vote and hurrying them of to
JAIL. THIS was anticipated by the opposi-
ton party, who had Marshal Dyer present
and squad OF United States troops quar-
tered In the Broom hotel, across the street.
The marshal at once stopped the arrests
until the voter had chance 10 tender his
vote and be passed upon by the judges.
After this the election passed OF quietly.
The result OF the election is q complete
victory for the liberal candidate for mayor,
who Is elected by majority OF 40. The
balance OF the ticket including a full city
council and the chief OF police, was about
the same majority. The Gentiles are jubi-
liant over the result.
