! HOW VICTOR HUGO WAS RECEIVED IN PARIS -
HIS VIEWS on THE WAR.
PARIS, September 7.
great ovation was yesterday given 10 VIC
| tor Hugo on his arrival ut the Northern Rail-
way station. The large place of st. Lazare at
the station was filed with people mostly. of
Guards and Gardes Mobiles was drawn up as
guard of honor on the high ground around the
station. A number Of the democratic leaders
of Paris, including Victor Hugo's sons, n.
Rochefort. M. Glalsblzion, the venerable
Michelet, NJ. Laboulaye and others, had assem-
bled to meet the eXied poet and patriot. q
hasty arch had been thrown up over the door
way of the station and wreathed with the flags
Of France, Italy, the United States, Switzerland
and Spain. Much attention was excited by the
appearance among these standards OF the flag
oil the German Republic Of lS4S. AS the ven
cradle exile appeared, supported by his irlends,
to enter the carriage sent for MIN oy Jules
Favre, he was greeted with enthusiastic shouts.
When these had somewhat subsidized he spoke
in full. clear voice, and with great earnest
ness and simplicity of action, these words:
.tCitizens I come back from an exile OF
twenty wears simultaneously with the Repno-
lie. The Republic comes to defend IN Paris
| the capital of civilization. Paris must not be
sullied by invasion; for to invade Paris IS 10
| invade liberty-it Is to invade CIVILIZATION: NO
such invasion shall triumph. Paris Will oe
arms in her defence. The defeat of Paris
means new hatreds, new resentments, new
barriers between people and people. Paris
must be victorious in the name Of Fraternity,
for only by making the fraternity of all posi-
| ble can the liberty of all be gained. Pointing
| to the American flag, Victor Hugo said, ''that
| banner of stars speaks to-day 10 Paris and 10
France proclaming the miracles Of power
which are easy to great people contending
for q great principle-the liberty Of every race,
the fraternity Of ALL"
The speech was immensely cleered and the
speaker fairly carried by the people to his car
riage. He looks we'll, though agea-hls long
| locks gone, his dark beard white, his eyes full
of fire, his voice as firm rs ever.
