OreeD & Co.'s re:w>rton cotton futures savs:
“The main feature has been the ability to hold
the market. Little that could be called anew
demand came in, and there was a com*q*>nrt
ing absence of a desire to sell, leaving the posi
tion subject again ulmost wholly to local in
fluence. This was ini pfroved by one of Ihe larger
operators, who seemed to stand under the posi
tion from the outset and caught up every de
clining tendency, with rates touching some 6®7
points above fast eveuing and ru ini; pretty
(Irmly, though the extegme was not fully sus
tained to the close. Foreign affairs re main
aooiit as before, an 1 port receipts are ranging a
trifle above the calculation.’’

GEORGE ELIOT AND GEO. LEWEa
Their Devotion as Noted by T. Adol
phus Trollope in His Recollections.
From the Philadelphia .Veins.
Mr. Trollope’s recollections of the Lewes
form the fullest and most interesting chap
ters of his book. He was their constant
cicerone on their several visits to Florence,
and George Eliot, when preparing to write
“Romola,” often drew on his wide and ulti
mate knowledge of Florentine history, Mr.
Trollop* very naively pats himself on the
b ek for being ao superior a persou as to
rise to the gre .t woman's level. “To roe,”
he says, “ * * * she was a companion
each minute of intercourse with whom was
a delight. But I can easily understand
that, despite her perfect readiness to place
etself lor the nonce on the intellectual level
of those with whom she chanced to be
brought in contact, her society may not
have been agreeable to all.”
The are some very pleasant letters to
Mr. Trollope from both Lewes and George
Eliot; but pleasanter still is the picture be
pivr of Lowes’ devotion to his “Polly.”
“If any man could ever be said to have lived
in another person, Lewes in those days, and
to the end of his life, Uv sl in and for George
Eliot. The talk of worshiping the ground
she trod on and the like are pretty lover’s
phrases, somet mes signifying much and
sometimes very little. But it is true, ac
cuiately and literally, of Lewes, that care
for her. at once c iinorehensive and minute,
u isieepi g watchfulness, lest she should
das.i her foot against a stone, was never
absent from his mind.”
Elsewhere Mr. Trollope tells pretty
little story whit h illustrates Lewes’ worship
for his wife in a very characteristic way:
“Once when he was wulkmg with my wife
in the garden of their house in Surrey she
turned th ■ conversation, wlii h ha-1 been
touching other lop.es, to speak of George
Eliot. ‘Oh,’ said Lewes, stopping short and
looking at her with those bright eyes of his,
•your blood lx on your own head! I diiln’t
begin it; but if you wish to speak of her I
am always rea ly.’”
Iri the iigtit o! all this one sees what true
a"d deep sympathy there was in the follow
ing letter which Lowes wrote to Mr. Trol-
I pe on hearing of M s. Browning’s death.
\Vc quote a p eceding passage also as con
taining a point of further interest: “Yester
day Anthony dined with us, and as he had
never stvn Carlyle he was glad to go down
with us to tea at Chelsea. Carlyle had read
and agreed with the West Indian book, a.id
the two got on very well together; both
Carlyle and Mrs. Carlyle liking Anthony,
and I suppose it was reciprocal, though I
did not see him af erward to hear what he
thought. He told us of the sd news of
Mrs, Browning's death Poor Browning!
That was ray fir-t and remains my constant
reflect.on. When i>eople love each other
and have lived toget ter a 13' time they
should die together. For myself I should
not care in tie least about, dying. The
dreadful thing to me would bo to live after
1 sing, if 1 should ever lose, the ono who
lias mad e life for me.”
