I"The Man who laughs" the
title of Victor Hugo's last book, is
no index whatever to the nature of
it. It is generally supposed that
it's contents are on the witty order,
and that the perusal Of il leads to
oft repeated laughter. On the con-
trary we have seldom read a book
Of a more serious cast, and one
more free from anything that pro-
vokes mirth or levity. The English
translator admits that there is con-
siderable difference of opinion as to-
the proper rendering of the title,
"L'homme qui rit," which he has
translated literally "The Man who
laughs. It has been suggested
that the Laughing man" would be
more nearly correct, but the trans
latOr insists that ii Victor Hugo in
tended to convey that idea he
would have said, "L'homme rieur."
The hero had been mutilated BY
a curious operation on his face
which gave him the appearance of
one who continually laughed, al
though he perhaps never really
laughed in his life. Ursus calls
the victim of the operation in
Latin, ''naasca ridens," which
would seem to imply that !" Laugh
ing man" is more correct English
translation of the books title than
"The man who laughs"

W The recent death of Senator
Green, OF Missouri, and the unen-
viable notoriety acquired by the
Presidents brother-in-law, Mr..
Abel Rathbone Corbin, serve to re-
call circumstance which once
came to our personal knowledge.
Mr.. Green was put forward by the
Southern Senators as their cham
pion against Judge Douglas on the
question Of admitting Kansas un-
der the Lecompton Constitution.
The report read by Mr.. Green, of
the committee on territories, was
very much complimented as an
able, logical and convincing docu-
ment. Now, Mr.. Green had but
little education and knew scarcely
anything about the rules of COM
position. AS is so common about
Washington he had to call in a b.
hcmian to assist him in writing his
report. It was written bodily by
Mr.. Cor bin, who then held small
clcrkship in one Of the departments
and made little money with his
pen, and by lobbying on a small
-
scale. He had been an anthem
ton editor in Missouri and welded
a polished and forcible pen. He
was strong Southern man then,
but it was long before he had mar
ried a Radical Presidents sister,
and before he had made a fortune
by specializing with his brother.in-
law in the New York gold market.
The Bohemian's occupation is now
doubtless gone with "Ratsbane''
Corbin, as Colonel Benton used to
call him. - NJ

+opinion was very feprehensible. H
concluded, after very severe review
OF bis acts, by saying that he hat
sem the time when no nals not eve,
the President would have dared t,
dosuch thing. When the bin sbol
lishing the ranking privilege epme'
properly before Congress, withou
reference to the merits of the bill, a,

Creswell will be made to understand
thath cannot walk over Congress.

the, body that wipes states out Of ex
istence with a wave of their hand viii
not allow even a Postmaster Genera,
to coerce them with impunity
There's breakers ahead for Cressy.
The last day allowed for debate upon
the Virginia bills was taken up in
great part by Senator Trumbull lash
ing Senator Sumner, which he did
with a vim, energy, and plainness
that made the Senator from Massa-
chusetts writhe in his seat in intense
mental agony. The wrath of the
past nine days was expended on his
head to the great delight of those
Senators. who had been often brow
beaten and domineered over by the
infallible Summer. In his agony he
called out to Trumbull, "mna:yy I cor
rect the Senator?" Mr.. TrumbuIl
replied. "The Senator may hold
his peace until I shall have exposed
his assumptions /: l shall refate his
imputations and strip from him the
infalibility and superiority which he
assumes in this body,,' and after a
most unmerciful scoring and showing
up he capped the climax by calling
him old and venerable. During the
course of his remarks he was called
to order for using the word eAronte-
ry. Mr.. Sumner began his reply by
he should not be drawn
into personalities but before he was
through he was also called to order
for supplementary language. He
charged Mr., Trumbull with being
the representative of the Ku Klux
upon the floor of the Senate, and
proved himself the sole apostle of ne
groism. He read anonymous letters,

it been beaten? LaureIs to whom lanrels

AS we are prOyerbially a very

give the Torch-light man the de-

place "those horns" were never

fice-holder, we like to see him intrude

on Friday TO reply to Mr., Dawes but
was outgeneralled in 80 signal man

most hurried manner amid the laugh
