Victor Hugo On Pence,

Victor Hugo, replying to an invitation to
the Congress of the League OF Peace and
Liberty, writes:
The Peace Congress is kind enough to re-
member and to appeal to me. l am deeply
touched by it. i can only repeat to my
felow-citizens of Europe what l have al
ready said to them several times since ISL
the year SO fatal for the whole universe.
My hopes are not shaken, but they are
postponed. There are now two movements
in civilization, the one working against the
Other-the effort of France and the effort
of Germany. What France wants to make
is Europe. To make Germany is to con-
struct the empire-that is to say, night. To
make Europe is o give birth to democracy
that is to say, light. Between the two
worlds-one gloomy, the other radiant
one false, the ether true-the choice OF the
future, be assured, is made. The future
will give the casting vote to Germany
and France. 1t will give to the one its
share of the Danube, to the other it's
share OF the Rhine, and it will give to
both that splendid gift, Europe-that is,
the great federal republic of the continent.
Kings band toge ther to fight and conclude
treaties of peace which lead to eas,,s belti.
Hence those monstrOus unions of monarchi-
cal forces against every social progress,
against the French revolution, against the
liberty of peoples. Hence Wellington and
Blucher, Pitt and Coburg; hence that crime
called the Holy Alliance. TO speak of an
alliance of kings is to speak of an alliance
of vultures. This fiatrlcidal fraternity will
come to an end, and to the Europe of coali
ton kings will succeed the Europe of united
peoples. To-dayl No. Tomorrow Yes.
Let us, then, have faith and await the fu
ture. No peace till then. l say it with pain
but with assurance. Dismembered France

Isolated Vicksburg.

There is a recognized danger in Yicks-
burg that the Mississippi river will make an
island out OF the peninsula, and leave the
hill entirely out of sight of water. 1t is
well known the water has steadily en-
croached, the banks regularly giving way.
The great bend of the river near Vlcksburg
has altered wonderfully since 1923, but be-
cause the alteration has been above Vcks-
burg and above the bend no measures have
been taken to check it. At Nicksburg, the
left bank, on which it is situated, has
changed but little. Exactly opposite it has
neared the city 1000 feet. The right bank
has neared the city in the same time at
least 600 feet, leaving the space between
the two volumes of water at the narrowest
point only 700 feet.
To explain this little more definitely, it
should be said Vicksburg is situated on the
left bank of the river, which at that point
flows directly southwest, on very high
Directly opposite is the parallel portion of
the river that continually changes its
course, steadily eating the barrier between
the lower portion. 1t cuts away mostly
below Vicksburg. Grants canal is mile
and half below this-below the delta.
over 1000 feet.
1t ID reasonable that the people should De
alarmed, and the Vicksburg Herald not
only sounds the note, but complains that no
efforts have been made. AS matter of
course, the Monitor denounces the Herald
for frightening the people, says there is no
danger and even if it should happen VIcks-
burg would be more important when cut
off from all communication with the rest of
the country than she was before.
The estimates given here are much under
those of more accurate observation that in
dicate the real danger. General NJ. jeff
Thompson considers it likely that by next
January Vicksburg will be two miles from
the river on the borders of lake. From
1928 the shortest distance has decreased
from a mile and a half to $50 feet. The
alarming fact OF this is, that the ratio of en-
croachment increases with the diminishing
space of resistance. One hundred and
sixty -ons million cubic yards of sand have
been carried away. A comparison is made
between this and Davis cutoff, where the
water in the old river is unnavigable only
at extreme low tide. The only difference is
this: Not only are there some very enter
prising men in Vicksburg, but it is point
easily reached by others, with an idea fol
| the main chance from St. Louis, Cincinnati
Evansville and Louisville. They would
immediately establish wharfboats at the
cutoff, receive freights on reduced commits
sions, run expresses, make a postal and
commercial depot, and make the old city Of
Vicksburg tributary to the new order o.
things. The only remedy for the city OF
the hills is to stop quarreling and go tt
fighting, might and main, to keep the rivel
in its old channel.

AT the recent newspaper press fund.-
banquet III London. Dean Stanley, who pre-
sided. made the following remarks in refer
ence to "leader writer's" .Assuredly, when
l think of this it seems to me to be one of
the most unattainable, unapproachable
pieces of human workmanship that can be
conceived. When l think what an effort it
costs me to write even single letter, anon
ymous or otherwise, to one of our great
journals, addressing myself to the whole
reading public of England, can not but
reflect how incidentally greater must be
the effort of those effusons of which have
just spoken. It we have happened to know
privately such and such a one who has been
concerned in the production of one of those
works, we must have been surprised to find
how he rose entirely beyond himself into
colossal proportions, being inspired with a
power not his own, so that we can not re-
cognize the individual we know in his
humble private capacity. Hear, hear,

The Nurse,

When woman thinks of making delib-
crate choice of the profession of a sick
nurse, she can of course take into careful
consideration if her character and temper
ament are or arc not suited for so arduous
and trying an avoeatiOn. If she is person
of excitable nature, and possessed of but
little selt-controI, she can be wisely cOun-
seled to give up the idea of life fer which
she is so thoroughly unfit: but no peculiar
tiles OF character or temperament can eX-
empt woman from being called upon by
the plain voice Of duty, at one time or an
other of her life, to take her stand by the
bedside of one dear to her, and soothe as
ness and pain. Very few, indeed, are the
women who escape this rule-most have
to take upon themselves the burden of at
tendance in a sick rOom-and perhaps there
are few subjects upon which the generality
of women are go well intentioned. and yet
so ignorant. With the very best and kind
est meaning in the world, attention be-
slowed upon a suffering, person may be pro-
ductive OF more discomfort than comfort to
the patient, and endless annoyance to the
physician, just because the jealous but alas!
unframed and undisciplined volunteer does
everything the wrong way. Again, from q
mistaken and unreal idea of true delicacy
and refinement, many women shrink from
ever seeing or learning anything about suf-

A curious correspondence has Just passed
in France between Nine. De Gasparin and
the French Minister Of the Interior. Mad
anne is distinguished literary woman,
greatly veuerated for her piety and zeal in
good works in Protestant circles. She is
the widow Of Comte Gasparin, of agricul-
tural celebrity. Though a rural nebleman,
the count was a man Of culture ard refine.
ment, and took deep interest in the lead
ing QUESTION: of his time. Prison reform,
negro emancipation, the politico religious
bearing of Swiss and German affairs,
we're subjects on which he wrote with
marked ability. His last work. "The
True Enemy of the Family" has been
brought out posthumously by his widow
Though IN 'derate conservative, the count
denied that the radicals are the chief foes
of family life. He ascribed the growing
laxity of morals, which dissolves the family
tie, to the pernicious influence of the Jesuits.
Their enervating action on the conscience
was breaking up French society. Senti.
mentality was set up by men in the place OF
duty. That fragile prop was of very little
service in keeping down low instincts.
which if no. sternly conquered in the
of family life impossible. Nine de Gas
parin wished her husbands work to obtain
the publicity of the railway book-stalls, to
which end she submitted it to the comm s.
sion of colportsge. This board of censorship
was ostensibly founded by the empire to
keep down licentious prints. But it is
and always has been, purely pol
itical institution, rarely standing in the
way of prurient authors. NJ. de Gasparin'
work was rejected as unfit to circulate in q
Catholic country. The widow thereupon
appealed to the Minister of the Interior, to
whom she sent a copy, in the hope that he
would carefully read it, and. finding il
highly moral and patriotic, allow it TO bt
sold in the railway libraries. The Minister
of the Interior wrote, in reply, that he had
most carefully gone through it. He was
warm in his praise of the style, research
and moral tone of al Enemi de la Famille,'
but he regretted that he was unable to raise
the interdct. The astounding reason ht
gave was this. ut seems to me, mat am

To and fro her white hands 60,
As over bloom laden trees
The wandering touch of the breeze
Wakes music soft and low.
Flash radiant fingers of light;
Silver the gloom OF the Swallowed room;
Swee D W tn your cleaning tips
Over the white frozen lips,
TIL they speak from their tomb.
SInite! emite the white lips of song,
Break on the keys like stormy seas;
Be the fl ishing spray notes flung
Like cries from anguish rung-
Anguish that knows no peace.

No murmuring music whisper peace;
Grief such rs thine must find release
In silence-not in song.
