The population of this Territory is largely composed of wo. men, and they have the elective franchise, which means representation in the best sense politically; women are engaged in business, in publb work of various kinds, and with that and having the ballot, should be entitled .to consideration in the body politic. There is no occasion to fear a feminine element in politics, ancTthat phaso should haye free and full expresslonyphy-sica- l strength is by no means the source of righteous law, and it seems to us that men should rejoice to take into their political meetings that part of the human race who represent most largely its sympathies and finer feelings. Sir Charles Reed, Chairman of a public meeting in London recently, in his remarks said: It is said that women wish to enter Parliament, and it so all he could say was that the assembly would not bo the worse for them. He believed they would at least be peacemakers and moderate the proceedings very often, " It is pur belief that a quickening moral influence would result from the recognition Pf.womon in politics. .

GEORGE ELIOT. Mrs. Marion Lewis (George Eliot) is thus described by a correspondent: f'My hand was held for a moment by a lady in the plainest possible attire. Somewhat to my surprjse, I found her intensely feminine. Her slight figure it might almost be called diminutive her gentle, persuasive air, her constrained gesticulation, the low, sweet voice all were as far removed from the repulsive phenomenon, as it is possible to concfiivn., Th A hrnw alone seemed to betray her inSllectnal su-- : periority; her face reminded me somewhat of the portrait of Charlotte Bronte, that every one is familiar with. Yet there was no striking similarity; I should rather fay the types of head and face are the same. When she crossed the room- - to call attention to a volume under discussion she seemed almost like an invalid, and evinced also an invalid's indifference to fashion and frivolity in dress. Perhaps it is half true, the strange story that I heard in all Its va. riations, for there were those presen t who sat transfixed and gazed rapturously upon the creator of Romola" and "Adam Bede." Every syllable she uttered sank deen into fertile h the homely home that seemed almost bare, and lor the homely hospitality, than which nothing can be less pretentious. I shall never forget tho absolute repose of Mrs. Lewes, the deliberation with which she discussed tho affairs of life, speaking al ways as if she were revealing only about a tenth part of her knowledge upon the sub-jein question. With her it seemed as if the tides had all como in; as if she had weathered the ultimate storm; as if circumstance and not desire hadV swept her apart irom her kind, and left her isolated, the unrivaled mistress of a passionless ex. perience.
