The cab e brings the sad announce- ment of the death of Mrs. Cross(Geo. Eliot) which took place at 12 o'clock n Wednesdey evening at her home in L ndon. Marian C Evans wasborn in War wickshire i1 1820. Eurly in life she w's adopted by a wealthy English clergyman and enj yed the advantages fan excellent education under the turelage of a brilliant young engineer now known to fame as Herbert Spencer. Miss Evane mental maturity was slow. She wasa voracious reader, a fine musiciaa wd an accomplished linguist years befure she wrote a line for the prese, Her earliest publication was a transla- ruon of Scrauss’ ““Life of Christ,”which appeared in 1846, and which was fol- liwad eizht yesrs later by a translation of Fuerbach’s “Es:ence of Changtianity. In 1857 a series of sketche: entitled “*Scenes of Clerical Life,” appeared 1 Blackwood’s Magazine over the nom de sjume of ‘‘George Elior.” Their ir-shaess, diversity and power inthe d hoeation of character at once at- iracied atwention to the author, who, m the following year by the publica cion of **Adam Beae,” was univerally accorded a place a ong the most dis- tinguiched of Englsh novelisis. In 860 ppeared the **Millon the Floss;” **Silss Marner” in 1861; ‘*Romola” (iirst published as a gerial in The Corn- vill Magazine) in 18§3; ““Middle- march” in 1871; “Daniel Deronda” in 1876; and “Theophrastus Such” in 1878. Her poetical works are: ‘‘The Spanish Gypsy” published in 1868; “‘Agaha” in 1869, and “‘The Lesend cf Jubul” in 1874, For a number of years she was associated with John Stuart Mills, as as-cciate editor of the Westminster Ke- view, and always was a devoted desci- ple of Jeremy Bentham and M. Comte. Miss Evans was married a number of years ago to Georgs Henry Lewes, the distinguished expounder of Posi- tivism, and within a year after his death to Mr. Cross, a Loodon mer- chant.

Daring and since the recent cam- paigu, no paper in the state has been more abusive than the home organ of E K. Valentine, The West Point Re- publican, edited by M S. Burtlett.

At the instance ot Major Balecomb t «n ublisher of The spublican, and other friends of Sen- ator Thayer, ivclading myself, Valen- tine was appuiuted regster of the West Point laud « flice.

After many day’s search Valentine secured th. names of John Sahler and John Smi- ley, both in-olvent, and then appealed to me. Desirous of ading a worthy but poor young man as I then regarded him (and being a member of the same M+sonic loage) I signed i1s bond and qualified for the amouut. 1 did not ask Valentine for a line to secure me, nor did I exact a promis. of ofticial favor. 1 had no axe to grind then, and did nt dream 1 should ever leave the telew: 1 ser- become an editor.

For ihe benefit_of Seth P.

In the summer f 1878 a few days after the death of Congressman Welen, an Omaha mer- chant, who is intimate with S, H I Clark, informed me that V lentine was Clark’s choice as the succ ssor of Welch.
