After the Franco-Prussian war, a law wa pusaed in I'ranoe forbidding any ofli oer in tbe army to marry a woman unless she Lad a dot, or dower, which was to lie Ber.led upon her aud Ler children, and which would yield an income of at leat t ioC per annum.

Thi law wa suggested by the large nuu.oer 01 oiiioert wives, wiaoweu in the war, and left without either monev or eduua'ion to provide for their chil dn-n. Ameri'-aus condemn, junt!v, tlie nier- cenarj1 marriages common in France, and a uuiveraal rule tbat a girl is un marriageable without a dot. The poor ent eaaalit daughter know that ahc must have ber little snra laid by, before she can wed, and ber plenishing of bed ding, linen, etc., witu which to begin ber bumble housekeeping.

J hi is very generous and mairnaui- moue for the huHbuiid, but it it tbe best aay for the girl, or tlie girl'i father to look at tbe matter?

Lefore the grave closes over the re mains of George Eliot, I may perhaps be tiermittud to add to the notice of her which has already appeared in the Dailv News, a few personal recollections and impressions gathered during a twelve year's friendship which only closed with her death. In the first place, I am absolutely convinced of this, that no one of her younger friends I might almost add, of her acquaintances failed to feel in hor presence that they were for the time, at all events, raised into a higher moral level, and that none ever left her without feeling inspired with a stronger sense of duty and positively under the obligation of striving to live up to a higher standard of life. George Eliot's jiersonality was fullv as great and as remarkable as her books. In every line of Ler face there was power, and about the jaw and mouth a prodigious massive ness which might well have inspired awe, Lad it not been tempered by tlie most gracious smile which ever lighted up human features, and was ever ready to convert what otherwise might liave been terror into fascination. Whatever George Eliot's religious opinions may Lave been and it may, IerhapB, surprise those who know her intimately to learn that the "De iniitat- lone Chnsti was one of her favorite books, found by the writer lying on her table by her empty chair after her death she possessed a marvelous degree of the divine gift of charity .and of attracting moral outcasts to herself, whose devils she cast out, if I may be permitted the expression, by shutting her eyes to their existence.

In vain Lis humiliated friends went to him, one after another, and persuaded kirn to withdraw. Hooker was unconsckrai of the disgusting spectacle Le was making lie lUbisiej on uemg iieara on every point, and was wholly unmanageable. For a while members were amused, Tnen they gathered uround him, lite Leedless boys about a drunken man in the streets, and laughed. Such a sight in the streets is sickening to most peo ple. On tbe floor of Congress, as in this instance, it was doubly disgusting. This was soon evident on the faces of members, and in a scarcely suppressed hiss from the galleries. The hilarity on the floor Boon gave way to a pain ful silence, and vorious ruBes were tLen adopted to choke Hooker off. It wai not until the committee rose, as it did, while tbe member from Mississippi m in the midst ot a maudlin speech, that he was finally squelched.

BTiS7 foanie t they Belong; but women are ao aeldoi Tbe day was hot, and lying under a cedar tree, where the grateful coolness of the breeze gave a zest to my enjoy ment of that blessing to a prospector, a brulegule (short pipe), I looked down and abroad on a landscape which, under the lambent atmosphere of Arizona, ap peared exceedingly beautiful not the beauty of cultivation and art, for as far as the. eye cculd reach (over a hundred miles) there was no sign of man s pres ence, lo tue right stood our green wooded Pinols, with their snowy tops, which make such a refreshment to the eye when we look np from the warmth below, and against the eastern horizon towered up Mount Turnbull, with its white peak, and the lofty neighboring ranges aa a background for the long sloping volley between. Then further to the north was plainly visible the Gila range with its lolry plateau, level, bare and square, like an artificial work. The scene to the left, shut in by the Apache mountains, rocky and barren, added another bold feature to the view. My musing on the ages of change that it must Lave taken to mold the scent to its present aspect were broken in upon by a large rattlesnake gliding out on u bore rock within fifty feet of the point where I was sitting. He seemed ic search ronnd like a dog for a place to suit bis snakeship, and then stretched himself out to enjoy the warmth. I was thinking if it was worth while to heave a rock at the monster, when a shadow swept down and a Lawk nearly caught him napping, but not quite. The snake sprung his rattle and coiled himself ready for attack, wkile the haw k hovered round making a dash, now on the right and now on the left. It was quite an in teresting skirmish, bnt at lost tiie snake made a spring and apparently failed to strike, and before he could recoil himself the hawk seized him with both talons close behind the head. In fact, he hsd him on the neck, and swept into the air, while the snake struggled and twisted, away np into the blue in wide circling sweeps, until the struggling reptile hung limp and lifeless, when the hawk came down to the earth again, and alighting on a neighboring tree, made a meal on the snake.
