It has been shrowdly suspected by those who have watched tho movements of the sugar re- finers during tha past two or three years, and atudied the difficultles which tha Gosernment has coostantly to meet in the collection of duties on Imyported sugars, growing out of the sharp practices Indnlged in by the refiners and importers, ns a clnss, to which, however, there are a few honorablo exceptions, that the memo- rlal fs 8 more dangerous feline than he appears tobe, There Is, without donbt, a large-sized fourtcenth amendment concealed in tho wood- plle. A Trisuxs reporter yesterday dropped in among the grocerymen and indulred in o qulet conversation on the subject of the memo- rial. Beveral had no hesitation in stating that the represcntations made were correct; they {firmly belleved that the fmposition of specific rate of duly wauld lend only to the Inportation of the hefter grades, extinguish thatof the lower quallties, and suppreas the busincss of refining.

A PLATONIC MARRIAGE. The True Btory of tho Relations of George £ Ellot and 11, M. Lotwes. DThiladetphia Teleqraph. Tho relations of Georga Eliot with the late Mr. George Henry Lewes have come In for some share of attention since the death of the latter, In this connection the London correspondent ot the New York Times—who at times nppears to monopolize a great desl of thoknowledae of the world—Iaments the fact that tho English papers noglected to make any mention of Georre Elfot, or Miss Evans, or Mrs. Lewes, or whatever her legal name may now be, in announcing and commenting upon Mr. Lewea' death, Ac. cording to the Tima' London mau, the rather dlercputable woman to whom M, Lewes was marrled in carly life still llves, Tols statement fs directly contradictory of ono made over four years ago, on quite ns good authority, to the effect that thy origioal Mrs, Lewes had kinaly quitted this world, and that thelong-leferred marriage cercmony between Mr. Lewes and Miss Evans had taken placs “out of respect to tha projudices of soclety and the majesty of tho law.” “\Yhen the first Mrs, Lewes abandoned her husband for another man, the dlographicr of Gootho regarded the unfor- tunate occurrence lke the pbllosopher that he professed to be, and mede no effort efther 10 Ect her back or to deprivo her of tho right to ear his name. By-and-by she repented of her folly and came back to Mr. Lewes with 80 much contrition on her lips, It not {n her heart, that bo philosophically forgave her, and_by llving with her thereafter condonea her offense, For a thne they lived tugether In peace and happl- ness, but’ the wayward wife soon . tired of this monotonous existenco und 'again eloped, Thls time she went for good, and never thereafter troubled Mr. Lowes. The lat. ter, by soma cruok of tho English law, was de- barred from claiming a divoree after this second offenso because he had condoned his wife's former waywardness. BHo he was compelled to bear with this sccond frenk as ghllomphlmlly a8 he had dune with the first. Meanswraile Mr., Lewes had made the acqualotance of Miss Evaus at the houso of tho editor-ln-chlef of the Westm 'nater Keview, Dr. Chapman, with whomn ehe resided while acting as his nsslatant in edit- fng tho Review.
