Mr.. Cross informs us that the name,
George Eliot was assumed because
Lewes's name was George and Eliot
was "a good mouth filling easily pro-
nounced word.' Mr.. Stephen takes
this without question, but is it the fact?
Did George Eliots memory fail her in
the matter or had she some reason for
concealing the underlying motive for
that pseudonyme? In any case in
1854. three years before ''The Scenes of
Clerical Life" was published, there was
drowned at Naini Tai in India a
British officer by name George Donni-
thorne Eliot George Donnithorne
Eliot. as we learn from Notes and
Queries of 1892. probably left War
wickshire for India when George Eliot
was some seventeen years of age. He
more than once returned to England,
and became a lieutenant in 1888, being
transferred to Meerut in 1851. AS /
have said, he was drowned at Naini
Tai in July, 1854. When we remember
that Arthur Donnithorne was one of
the principal characters in Adam
Bede.'' is ii possible to doubt that
George Donnithorne Eliot had given
Miss Evans the name of one of her
characters and also her own pseu-
donyme? OF course, it may be all a
coincidence. and my readers may be-
lieve whichever they find the easier.
There are any number of other mis-
cellaneous facts about George Eliot
that have not been tapped for the
purpose OF this volume; in fact, in her
earlier years at least, there was q more
human side to George Eliot than is pre-
sented by anyof ner biographers. Take
for example the following letter, not
hitherto, L believe. published, and sign
ed Mary Ann" and not Marian the
name she had the weakness to assume
in more prosperous days:
"Elave You, dear Patty, read any of
4. Carlyle's works? He is a grand
favorite of mine. and | venture to re-
commend to you his 'Sartor Resartus.'

Says the Literary World for July
Colonel HiGginson is now almost the
Nestor Of the literary fraternity in ana
about Boston, and adorns the position
with an unaffected dignity, a gentle
grace. and a sparkling wit and humor
which are as inimitable as they are IL
resistible The gentleman to whom we
refer-patriot, soldier, reformer, au-
thor. lecturer, journalist and critic-is
not to be confounded, as he is by
strangers in Rochester and elsewhere
with his cousin, Major Henry l.. Hig-
ginson, also of Boston. capitalist, bene-
factor of Harvard College, and other
wise friend and Servant of the public
with his purse as Colonel Higginson is
with voice and pen. The mistakes by
which one of these gentlemen is often
mistaken for the other are sometimes
amusing. Colonel Higginson wears
lightly and with easy concealment the
burden of his seventy years, and daily
demonstrates the courtesy OF his ma
ture with all the assiduous generosity
cf a much younger man. His working
home is in Cambridge, Mass. but his
Headquarters are now in the saddle
and the saddle has been seen of late
on the road between Wilton and Dub
lin, n. H., where have reached him
with the punctual regularity of the
new system of rural delivery the proof
sheets of his forthcoming memoir of
Iongfellow, for which large number
of readers are eagerly waiting.

thrilling scene is at the battle of Ink

The Bookman thus speaks of sever
al authors who accomplished their
most important work after reaching
the age Of fifty. Samuel Richardson,
for instance, attained his success after
passing that age. The first part of
Pamela" was written in two months
of the winter of 1739-40, and published
in the latter year. Boswell had passed
fifty when the work that made him
immortal, Life of DR.. Johnson" was
published. After achieving this sue
cess he lived for only four years, and
died sadly and ignominiously. Ger
vantes was fifty-eight when, in spite
of all his miseries. he found the oppor-
tunity of completing the first part of
Don Quixote.' Daniel Defoe was fifty
eight years of age when he wrote Rob-
inson Crusoe,' and at the same period
of life John Locke produced his Essay
on the Human Understanding. Milton
was fifty-nine when Paradise Lost
was published. Samuel Johnson was
sixty eight when he began to write his
Lives of the Poets which has been
called the -.most masculine and massive
body of criticism in the language
