DEATH OF EUGENE SuE.-It was stated
in the foreign news that Eugene Sue, the
celebrated French novelist, was dead.
The following is brief sketch Of his life
He was born in Paris in 1903, and in.
herited considerable estate from his
father, who was professor of anatomy.
He studied surgery. and served for seye>
raj years as surgeon in the French ma.
w. After having squandered his pstri-
mony in extraragant living. he was driv-
en- to writing romances. His first literary
success> was 'Mathilde. or the Memoirs OF
Young Woman" wherein, contrary to
the usual custom Of French noyelists Of
the time, vice was punished and virtue
rewarded. The popularity of this book.
however, was far exceeded by that Of
"The Mysteries Of Paris" "Tho Wan
dering Jew" was no less popular, and
like 1.-The Mysteries of Paris" was
translated into many languages. 1.-THE
History Of the French Marine in the time
Of Louis XIV" a work in which truth
and fiction are ingeniously mingled. was
very successful. His mysteries OF the
People" written after he had become
identified with the socialists, did not meet
the anticipations Of his admirers. In
1850 he was elected 10 the National AS
sembly. where he exerted no great influ-
ence, His extreme scholastic views
made him obnoxious to the party OF or.
der, and after the coup detat he became a
refugee. More recently, however, he re.
turned to Paris. where he died on the Sd
inst, aged 40.
AS writer. Eugene Sue possessed
greatpowers of vivid description and live.
~ narrative. His works abound in hor.
rlble and mysterious incidents. and won
favor with the lower classes by the vigor
with which their wrongs and suffsrinps
were contrasted with the vices and luxury
of the rich. Notwithstanding his social.
ism. he has always lived very extraya-
gantly. as the great popularity of some of
his writings enabled him to do.

SUDDEN CHANGE OF OPINIONS IN Pol1r1.
c1ASs.-The Bridgeport Advertiser (De.

ty. praised him to the skies. On Tues.
day, finding that Rollins is probably elect.
cd Governor. it says:
We made mistake, and ne hope
our political friends will forgive us for
CHASING such an unprincipled rascal with
them"
This brings to mind recent incident
in the history Of the New York Express.
On the 7th inst. that paper spoke of Roll
Inns as "the so called American eandida ale
for Governor" On the 12 inst.-the fact
that Rollins was elected having come to
light-the same paper says
1t now looks as if Major Rollins. the
American candidate for Governor of
Missouri. had slipped in, and by hand
some majority. This is not only splen-

political event, which is destined. to exer-
