In the matter of the printing of the ar

the prothenotary te have the lists for the
year lbsl printed the same as he lias in
the year 1880 and te get it done as cheaply
as possible.
When the court made this order, Coun
ty Solicitor Fulton was in court and
stated that he understood that the bills
fef printing these list were entirely tee
large, ai:d he stated that from what he
could learn, the price would reach
81 a page. Mr. Fulton was en

this fact Judge Livingston was aware,
and he sharply told Mr. Fulton that this
was something with which the county com
missioners had nothing whatever te de.
It was done through :m order of the court,
and the commissioners would have enough
te de it they would attend te what con
ccrnrd them.

make a specialty of ucertain disease and study
every thins that has a bearing upon it. They
experiment with different medicines until one
is leuad that gees right te the mark. This may
be said et the C. & C. Cordial manufactured

The Popular Demand.
Se great has been the popular demand for
the celebrated remedy Kidney-Wert, t'.iat is
is having an immense sale from Maine te Cali
fornia. Seuiu have ieund it inconvenient te
prepare it irem the dry compound. Fer such
the proprietors new prepare it in liquid lerni.
Tills can be procured at the druggists. It has
precisely the same effect as the dry, but is
very concentrated se that the dose is much

This wine for sickness has long been in pop

Spcer torments his wine by a new process, pe pe

yard in the old or new world thai can yield a

GEORGE ELIOT UbAI),
Tin Sudden Tlieuh ulet uiul Painless Enil
of tite Great Novelist.
Londen, Dec. 23. Mrs. Cress (" Geerge
Eliet "), the distinguished novelist, died
at ten o'clock"last night. Her death was
iiuict and almost painless. She was seized
with a chill en Sunday Inst while in the best
of health and spirits. The disease, how
ever, did net create alarm until six o'clock
last evening.
Mra. Cress horn Mi-w Marian Evans, late
the reputed wife et" Geerge Henry Ijewes,
though net joined tnhuvliil wedlock with him.
nun iuiueuh 111 inerature uniier tlie iinm tic

Warwickshire, En.. and was born there in
1S-.M. She 11:11 the daughter of a country
curate and early displayed that, genius
for literary composition the ilevelepcinent
of which ranked her as the great.t
female intellect, produced in any Eng
lish speaking nice. She acquired earlv

her contributions te, and at one time her

man. Herreiutatien,us the greatest el women
novelists, bewail with her publication in
JJlneK-ivewt. el. the " Scenes et Clerical Lire,''
signed Geerge Eliet," and " Adam Bftle,"
wliich followed, established her fame. Siuce
then "The Mill en the Fless," "Silas Marner."
" Roinehi," "Felix Helt," " Middleuiarch"
and ' Daniel Dereuda, " novels appearing at
Intel vals, have .sustained her reputatleii and
each lias been received with increased intere.-t
and rewarded with the mnnitleent compensa cempensa compensa
lien et imblishers and the most extended
l.itrenageby the reading public. Her ambi
tion has always been te excel In poetry, but
none of her poetical productions, save "The
SnarDli Gynsey," has ever attained a high
plac- iu public laver.
By louimeii consent "Geerge Eliet" has held
the highest place in modern tlctien and most
erities grant that the history of literature re
cords no eiiud intellect since Shakspeare.
Years agen literary sympathy attracted her
and Geerge Henry Lewes te each ether, but
the existence of his lirst dissolute wife (tlie
condoning et whose "lirst offense" by him was
a lar te their divorce ) forbade his legal union
with "Geerge Eliet." They agreed, however,
te live together as man and wife without fur
ther cemp.ict than of mutual agreement and
they did, until he died a year or se age.
Stie mourned his less devotedly and retired
from literature, until last spring the world of
letters was staitlcd te hear that she had wed
Mr. Cre9, some twenty years her junior, and
an old friend et herself and hushaud. His
tastes were congenial and their union has
been a happy one, devoted te the gr.itilicatien
of their mutual love for art and literature.
