THEOPHILE GAUTlER.
Some Of His Peculiarities Killed BY News
paper Fright.
New York Times.1

In his life of Theophile Gautier nj. Berge-
rat tells Us that the French poet-novelist had
the blood OF kings in his veins. Gautier was
a remarkably precociOus youth. He wrote
poety before he was twenty, and at the age Of
twenty-five his publisher asked him for IN,
roman De senatiOR, and they got it in Nile. de
Maupin. Like johnson he was melancholy
and possessed OF the fear Of death which
sometimes haunts men of great physical
strength and courage. When he was Ill the
dread Of death came upon him Instantly.
Among the modern inventions which he de-
tested was the custom of reportdge. the indus
try of intervewers and of the spies of the tat
thing newspapers His splendid flow of talk
seeing his good things In the Figaro next
morning. A newspaper gossip fastened his
decease. He had long been i'll, but his Ia
tions concealed from him the nature OF his
complaint They did their best to mystify
the newspaper people who came with their
inquiries and to keep newspapers out Of the
poets sight. One unlucky morning he read
In colum of twaddie that "Theopnile Gau-
tier has heart disease" and this manner OF
conveying intelligence really FASTENED his
end. IfGautier, like johnson, dreaded death,
like him he was profoundly superstitious.
He believed in omens and warnings, In the
dangers Of enterprises begun on Friday, In
the peris that environ people who number
thirteen at dinner, in the miSchiefs that attend
the splitting OF salt. His romance Of 'Jettatura"
does not exaggerate the ardor of his belief in
theevil eye. He could never even mention nj.
Offenbach, who passed for being q jefutore,
without making the signs which are supposed
to act as lightning conductors and to carry
off the streams OF evil. Again, like johnson,
he leteSted music.

"Why, five years ago" said 9 noted New

man had been counting her for six months !;
that his business prospects and character
were good, and that he gave promise Of being

theless, be wanted to know whether their dis
positions and temperaments were such as
would conduce to happiness In married life.

reply. Informed the father that as regarded
temperament and certain other inherited
characteristics, the young people might prop
erly be mated, but / also told him that the
young man was lacking in conscientiousness;
that lie was selfish, tyrannical and inclined to
immortality. Three years afterward the
young woman called On me Ia New York to
thank me personally for saving her from life
long unhappiness. AT her fathers request she
had broken her engagement, and not long
afterward the young mans true character
was made plain to all. He robbed his employ
er of a large sum Of money, and ran away
with woman of bad character. After living
with him few months in Canada, this woman
quilted him because he was In the habit of
abusing her, and she returned home, her face
still showing marks Of his brutality. She be
trayed his whereabouts to the police, and the
young man was sent to State prison for the

During the haying season an honest old
farmer on the Gratiot road employed three
young men from the city to help cut and store
his timothy. None of them liked work half as
well as whisky and a conspiracy was the re-
suit. About noon one day one Of the trio fell
down in the field, shouting and kicking, and
the other two ran to the farmer with wild eyes
and called out that their companion had been
bitten by a rattlesnake, and must have whis-

was to teach the children that the earth turns
on Its own axis. The children went home and

them that the earth went round the sun. The

that the earth revolves around the sun, The
minister answered: "Well, this may be, NO

Well, ye-es;' has Brother Blank been guilty
Of anything wrong2 I know of church that

recommend him very highly. Have yoa any
reason to suppose that he would not give sat

"Well ] will tell you one reason. Mr.. Blank
lived next to D neighbor whose hens and
chickens troubled him very much by digging
up his garden. He spoke about it several
times, but 1t did no good; those fowls kept
in his garden all the time And what do you
think he did2 Instead of shooting some Of
them, or building high fence around his gar
den he came here to Hartford and bought
the best game cock he could find, and took
him home and turned him loose In the gar
den. The next day that neighbor heard q
great commotion among the poultry, and
when he looked over the fence there Were all
his hens and chickens lying in windrows and
that game cock walking over the bodies and
growing. Now, you can't say that that was
un- Christian conduct, but 1t was certainly
calculated to destroy MI. Blanks usefulness
