Victor HugO's Predictions.

faffs Correspondence OF the London Telegraph
While the great majority of parlia-
mentary notabilities were yesterday at
Nancy assisting at the unvailirg of the
Theirs statue, MN. Victor Hugo and
Louis Blanc were delivering speeches at
the Chateau d'Eau Theatre. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to raise funds
for the workmen at Marseilles. NJ.
Victor Hugo, who presided, made the
first speech. "The sixteenth century"
remarked the venerable Senator, was
the century of painters, the seventeenth
that Of writers, the eighteenth that of
philosophers, and the nineteenth will be
the century of apostles and of prophets.
In the twentieth century, war, the
scaffold, hatred, royalty, frontiers and
dogmas will have died all out but man
will live. Our children will enjoy this
splendid century," Having preiaced
his observations in this style-with
which all who are acquainted with the
aged poets late utterances are familiar
M. Victor Hugo set forth the means
by which this glorious end was to be at
tanned. There are people, said he, who
have nothing in the world. On the
other hand, there is a world waiting to
be colonized and civilized. Therefore,
cut isthmuses, turn deserts into seas, lay
down railways No one will contest
your right to occupy the land. Con
sidering that Africa is specially III view,
this might appear a somewhat startling
assertion, but the Paris public know M.
Victor lingo, and delight in the pres
ei.ee'of their poet. The details of his
speeches are never harshly criticised
"These African plains continued the
authorof Les Miserables, "are worthy
of being French, since they were once
Roman. They are now in state of
barbarism; they are occupied by say.
ages. Turn them out" A few sentences
further, he adds: "Tet us all feel
citizens in equality, men in fraternity,
and spirits in liberty, and let us love
both those who love and those who do
not love u.s." Possibly among the latter
might be included the savages who are
to be " turned out of their possessions"
However this may be, M. Victor Hugo
was loudly cheered at the end of his
speech rt -a lL

Reign of the Postage Stamp,

The total value of stamps, stamped
envelopes and postal cards issued during
the past fiscal year was $29530, 02O, an
increase of $671 1866 over the year pre-
vious. There is big difference between
this showing and the first year of the
existence of the Post Office Department.
The whole revenue in 1890 was only
$27 1886, and it was not until 1915 that
the BUSINESS reached million dollars.
l was not until 1860 that the business
reached ten millions. In the last twenty
years the business has trebled. When
the post-office branch went into operation
in 1890, the postage on letter. COM
posed of single piece of paper, was s
cents under 40 miles; under 80 miles, 10
cents; under $50 miles, 121 cents; under
300 miles, IL cents; under 500 miles, 20
cents; over 500 miles, Is cents. 1t was
not until 1915 that the mileage system
was practically abolished, by making
the postage on single letter of one-half
ounce, under, 1900 miles, prepaid, 8
cents; if not prepaid, 5 cents. In 1868,
the mileage system was entirely abolished
and the present system adopted.

Mr.. Look and Miss Parrot.

Mr.. L. Look seemed to be demoralized
yesterday when he and red and green
parrot were placed before Justice Muir
ray in the Jefferson Market Court. Mr..
Look had been dissipating, and the par
rot had accompanied him. Mr.. Look
had demolished bottles and glasses in an
Eighth Ward saloon, and was then
lodged, with his parrot, in the Prince
street police station. The parrot perched
on the railing of the bar, when Justice
Murray asked its owner what he had to
say.
The-you say" was shrieked.
"Jt's the parrot, Judge" explained
Mr.. Look, as the Justice gazed sternIy
upon him.

Shall we condemn gossip? Only when
it is thoughtless or malicious. For

gossip the village would be a stagnant

Inability of the stomach to act upon the food
Is productive of serious and speedy mischief to
the entire bodily economy. Tho circulation
ianguishes and grows poor, leanness, pallor,
and loss of muscular and organic power super
venc but, worse than this, tho functions as
ISOLATED with and dependent upon digestion,
such as evacuation and the secretion of bile,
grow irregular, and the organs whose business
It is to discharge those functions become badly
disordered. This disastrous state of things is
more readily and thoroughly rectifed with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than any known
medicinal agent. The stomach being invigor-
ated, the life giving principles of the blood
are increased, the system properly nourished,
leanness and debility overcome, and the bowels
and liver thoroughly and promptly regulated.
CARS MADE IN THE FLESH by abcesses and
ulcers speedily disappear without leaving scar,
when HENRY's CARBoLIo SALvE is tho agent
employed to heal them. This standard article
cures the worst sores, eradicates cutaneous
sruptions, relieves the pain of burns, banishes
pimples and blotchcs from the skin and has
proved to be eminently successful in remedying
rheumatism and soreness of the throat and
