Friday, Mons. Alphons" at the Saturday matt
nee, DIANE on Saturday night, and the "New

attraction. Beside the above attraction, Mr..
Lingard will present his great sketches, Of which
he has entirely new subjects. Seats be

GAYErY 1'HEATRE.-Sa Saturday night was most
certainly at this pleasant little place Of
amusement, judging from the crowded house
that greeted the many talented artists who have
been brought out by Mr.. James Flynne, the pro-
prietor who deserves success for the pans he has
taken to please the public. An hour or two can
be most pleasantly passed at the Gayety.

+" NINETY.THREE.'

The last romance of the famous Frencl
author, Victor Hugo, has made quite a sen
satiOn in the literary world in this countr,
since the translation from the editorial pei
Of Frank Lee Benedict was published by
Harper Bros, New York. Having received
copy from Messrs. Kahn & Co., No. 13(
Canal street, it was our intention to review
it, but the following admirable review
which we clip from the New York CONNER.
cial, covers the whole ground
The book is a masterpiece. 1t is the epic
story of what the author calls Gan epic con-
t1ict." 1t deals with the tragedies of which
Robespierre, DantOn and Marat were the
heroes-'tragedies knotted by giants and
united by dwarfs"-and centres in the horri-
BILE barbarities of the civil war in La
Vendee. Its created characters are tender
women and children, it's historic peronages
are men half heroic and half demoniac.
Probably it is correct picture of France
to look upon that year Of butchery as
Astounding only in. blasphemy, blood and
social anarchy, Victor Hugo's book comes
with the light of a new revelation. The old
Republican sees in the Commune of 1898, a
heroic reaching forward to civilization. He
declares that the Assembly, acting as forge
as well as furnace, produced civilization.
Where "terror dubbed, progress fermented."
He claims for that red aye of the guillotine
that it branded the slave-trade; organized
rational education created the Academy of
Music and the Museums; decreed the unity
of calculation by the decimal system cared
for the blind, the dumb, the aged, the help
less and the innocent; and drew the lines of
all social law in the decree that ''the liberty
of each citizen ends where the liberty of an
other citizen commences" This, and more,
the author says, was accomplished by the
Assembiy-"Th epic gathering of antagon-
sms."
Victor Hugo holds his argument in hand
with unmatched power. Yet he never hest
tates to display in their lOathsome nakeness
the guilty excuses of the time. The work
is his masterpiece. The hand that wrote !:
"Les Miserables" seems only to grow more
skilIfnl with age. Whether it paints the
gladiole-" the flame of the marshes" or
gives to Danton "the fist of porter and
eyes that blazed," it makes every word tell
in the readers mind. The book bristles
with facts that had almost slipped Into obi
won, and personal description that it was
almost too late to endeavor to gather up.
When students hereafter shall have read
the dry, statistical history of the days in
which the gnillOtine was dictator, they will
be advised to supplement their knowledge
with Victor Hugo's story OF the struggle
that threw human rights and social laws to
the surface in wild world out of which
ORDER is SLOWLY evolving
