VICTOR HUGO,S WAYS.

Victor Hugo rarely makes use of the pen. He
works with the brain and not with the hand.
When composing his works he PAGES the floor OF
his room, holding high his Olympian head and
shifting the air like Jobs charger, debating to
secretary sitting at desk in one corner. He die
tates very slowly, sentence by sentence, Moses,
to whom the poet often compares himself, must
have dictated the words engraved upon the
ancient tablets Of stone. I say that the poet
often compares himself to Moses whom he re-
CARDS as the greatest man that ever lived, but
there arc great doubts In his mind whether or
not Moses and Victor Hugo are one and the SANG
person. Ii Hugo did not live few thousand
years ago under the name OF Moses, be thinks
the soul OF Moses must have descended to the
Hugo Of to-day. 1t is even said that he has de-
clared any other minds that ever existed In
capable of writing the first books Of the Bible,
and rather inclines to the belief that ne wrote
them himself say minds above, but this is e
mere fdeon de parIer, for Hugo uses the singular.
If he extends this theory to others his lOfty con-
tempt for the rest Of mankind must make him
assign the rest Of Us to brute state of existence
at the time he was the chief Of the Hebrews and
the lAwgiser Of the human race.
Victor Hugo works necessarily, wearing out
two secretaries when pressed for time, and he
eats as heartily as any man alive. The amount
Of fish he consumes by himself would supply
small family and his bsefstsaks are Of old fash
Toned dimensions. After all, there Is nothing like
q good appetite and an excellent digestion, espe-
cislly when one rises ct ave O'Clock In the morn
ing and works until midnight. On the morning
his son died Hugo was correcting HIS pRools, apd
he wont back to thswork the moment he returnsd
from the cemetery. But rejecting persons viii
not md in this q thought 6f callousnsss, for the
stricken father was doubtless trying to make bis
work rampant against bis grief

MAx1Ms OF CARpLNAL DE RETz.


Some Of the most celebrated aphorIsms ever
given TO the world are those Of Cardinal De
Retz. As writer the fame Of De Retz rests upon
the "Memoir," most striking and brilliant work.
But his maxims have their value, as the ref1ec.
lions which great and able man formed from
long experience and practice in great business.
This was Lord ChesterfcId's opinion,and he adds
"They are true conclusions drawn from facts, no;
from speculation" We subjoin few Of Thorn:
"Weak men never yield at the proper time"
"Thore are no small steps in great affairs" =
81 an persuaded that greater qualities are re-
quired to form o good party leader than to form
an emperor of the universe; and that in the
order Of the qualities which compose him, resolu-
tion should walk hand in hand with Judgment
I mean heroic judgment, the principal use Of
which is to distinguish the extraordinary from the
impossible"
Upon men OF small understanding nothing
makes so deep an Impression as what they do not
understand"
"When fear rises to o certain height It produces
the same effects as temeTIty. Fear never applies
the proper remedy"
1--WE should never play with favor; we cannot
too closely embrace It when it Is real nor fly too
far from IL when It is false"
"a man who mstrusts himself never truly con-
fdes In any one."
"Men never believe others can do what they
cannot do themselves"
"The effects OF weakness are inconceivable, and
maintain that they are far vaster than those Of
the most violent passions"
81 have remarked that ll-foundsd enmities are
ever the most obstinate. The reason Of this is
clear. As offences Of that kind exist only IN the
imagination, they never fail to grow and swell in
that receptacle, too fruitful in evil fancies."

time, but both were again condemned to the
same penalty. Among the witnesses against
ZEN were Francois Campona and a relative,
who thus, 1t is believed, attractedthe aEimos:iy

TAXING OFF THE SHOES.
In Syria people never take of their caps or
'turbans when entering house or visiting
Fl end, bu. they always leave their shoes at the
door. The reason is that their floors are COW
crel with clean mats and rugs, and In the
Aoslem houses the men kneel on the rugs 10
pray and press their foreheads to the floor, so
that it would not be decent or respectful to
walk In with dirty shoes and soil the SHADY on
which they kneel to pray. They have no foot
mat or scrapers, and 1t is much cheaper and
simpler to leave the shoes, dirt and all, at the
door.
1t is very curious to go to Syrian school
houses and see the piles Of shoes at the door.
There are new bright red shoes, and old tat
tered shoes, and kob-kobs, and black shoes,
and sometimes yellow shoes. The kob-kobs
are wooden clogs, made to raise the feet out of
the mud and water, having a little strap over
the toe to keep It on the foot. You will often
see little boys and girls running down steps
and paved streets on these dangerous kob-
koos. Sometimes they slip, and then down
they go, on their noses, and the kob-kobs fly
of and 60 rafting over the stones, and little
Ali, or Yusef, or whatever his name is, begins
10 shout "Ya Imme! Va Imme" ooh, my
motherl,' and cries just like little children in
other countries.
But the funniest part is to the boys when
they come out of school and try to find their
shoes. There will be fifty boys, and of course
hundred shoes all mixed together in one
pile. When the school is out the boys make
q rush for the door. Then comes the tug of
war. A dozen boys are standing and shutting
on the pile of shoes, looking down, kicking
away the other shoes, running their toes into
their own, stumbling over the kob-kobs, and
then making dash to get out of the crowd.
Sometimes shins will be kicked and hair
pulled, and tarbooshes thrown of, and great
screaming follow, which will only cease when
the teacher comes with CASA" or a stick,
and quells the riot. That pile of shoes will
have to answer for a good many schoolboy
fights and bruised noses and hard feelings in
Syria. You will wonder how they can tell
their own shoes. So do 1. And the boys often
wear of each others shoes by mistake or on
purpose, and then you will see Selim running
with one shoe on and one of Ibrahim's in his
hand, shouting and cursing Ibrahim's father
aud grandfather until he gets back his lost
property Women Of the arabs.

A letter from Bastia, dated March Is, states:
yesterday the Office Of the local magistrate
was the scene Of q fearful struggle. Two
brothers Corti had summoned one Francois
Campona, on account of en- alleged trespass.
and the case was duly heard. When the NAG,
istrate- had retired, Jean Antoine Co-ti drew a
Ndagger apd stabbed Francois Campoua. while
the other Corti fired o revolver at Campopa,,
brother, who YVES wounded in the chest.
relation Of the Camponas, who interfered. was
stabbed, and a bystander was wounded by a
ball from Corti's revolver The two Cort,.
were allowed to retire without any attempt BIZ.
ing made TO detain them. The feud between
the parties is believed to have arisen ont of
events which occurred many months ago.
elm August, 1872, bailiff named Montocalli
was found murdered on the high road. and
public rumor accused the Cortis of having hired
the assassin. Corti the father died while the
Investigation was proceeding, but his son, Jean
Automs, and his daughter were tried for being
accessory to the crime, but were acquitted. Two
other men were convicted of having been con- !
cerned in the murder, and were sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment. This judgment
