An Eloquent Letter from the Great French

Victor Hug has written the subjoined letter
in favor OF The Jews of Russia: "The

course to the last means What we are now
Witnessing is more than criminal-it is
monstrous A people has become a monster.
Horrible phenomenon! A curtain seems to
have been rent asunder while a voice says ::
Humanity, look and behold! Tw" solutions are
before thine eyes. On one side man is adj
vancing, slowly and surely, toward more and
more luminous horizon. Man holds the child
by the hand: man advances. his brain full of
enlightenment, the child with his brain full Of
hope; labor accomplishes its mighty task;
science seeks God, thought sees Him; God is
truth, justice, conscience, love: man mingles
Him with things earthly-liberty, equality,
fraternity; God soughtis philosophy, God seen
is religion; no more tales, dreams, dogmas;
i'll nations are brethren; frontiers are disap-
pearing; man sees that the earth is not yet dis
tributed; wars, less and less frequent, have no

The Father OF u Thousand Children

From the London Globe.
An old man has just died in Vienna whose
name deserves to be chronicled in all lands for
the singular goodness Of his life. Frederick
Reidt has been known in his own city as the
Father of the Orphans" for nearly half
century. He was a man Of considerable means
and was happily married, but it was a grea,
grief to him and his wife that they continued
to be childess. Herr Reidt said to his wife,.
"Since we are not to have children of our own,
can we not be parents to some of those who
are fatherless and motherl, ss?" He was a
man of action. and began at once to carry his
conception into practice. He commenced
with taking fatherly charge of two or three
orphans, but his zeal and repute increased to
such an extent that, at the time of his death.
he was the legal guardian of more than a
thousand fatherless children. Those whom
he adopted in this manner we're not htfully
taken up and then let drop, but he kept con-
scientions watch and ward over them,
from their early education until their mar
rage or their start in adult life at the close of
their apprenticeship. He never sought fame
or publicity, and took no credit to himself for
his devotion to those who had no natural
claim upon him. Now that he is departed,
however, every one speaks of his singular life,
its que,ness, and yet restless energy, its con-
scentious and severe fidelity to his sef-im-
posed obligations. lie began by asking as
favor to be accepted as the 'honcrary guard
IAN of two or three orphans, and the calling,
which he had thus taken up for his own salts
faction, as he put it, was in time regarded by
many Of his fellow citizens as sort
of official occupation which he was
bound to fulfill. Herr Reidt had an
especial tenderness toward illegitimate
children who, from no fault of their own,
started life under heavy shade. His cour-
age was equal to his tenderness. When he
could discover the father of an illegitmate
child, he would seek out the man and deal
plainly with him as to the duty which he had
incurred by his sin. In this way, he often
compelled fathers to look after their children,
who would otherwise have fallen under the
hard discipline of the official guardians of such
unwelcome additions to the population.

The Baltimore Sun says that when Emerson

The WOndr rful Sour Lake of Texas.

GALVESTON, July IS, 1882.
To the Editor Of The EVENING LIGHT:
Having recently visited Sour Lake on a
orief health sojourn there. perhaps few
items concerning the place may interest some
of your readers. To reach the place you leave
the Tex. & N. o. R. X. g miles east of Hous-
ton and continue by stage nine miles to the
hotel.
The grounds, about one thousand acres in
extent, were purchased last spring by Mr.. p.
!. Willis, of Galveston, for $4,000. Since
April he has erected good-sized hotel, a
building especially for ladies and 'bachelor's
row." capable OF accommodating I25 persons.
The grounds are finely shaded by trees, with
many lofty pin-oaks draperied with Spanish
moss.
The lake is of inconsiderable size, some
what round in form and three to five feet in
pleasant bath, but has no virtues particularly
curative that have heard of. a dozen wells
of 10 to IL feet depth stand near each other
upon the shore Of the lake. Though several
of these stand almost side by side, it is curl
Gus to note the great difference in the taste
and properties of their waters. There is the
iron we'll, the we'll strong with iodide OF
potash, and close by it the acid and alum we'll,
and others.
The sulphur baths are believed to have
strong curative effects. The small wooden
houses stand upon the shore of the lake and
the water is some ise to 200 lower than the
adjoining lake. The bottom Of the bath is
covered with a soft, black mud, which the
bather plasters upon himself. and then waits
for its drying. Although rather trying oper-
alton, | exrect, for sensitive persons, yet, when
washed of, it imparts an agreeable and very
refreshing, Strengthening feeling to the body.
DR.. II. Shearer, formerly of Galveston, af-
fords medical advice and treatment to all de-
string it, and advises gratuitously as to the
use Of the wells and baths. rheumatism,
skin diseases and liver and kidney troubles
are considered as specially benefited by these
waters.
The natural advantages of this place are
such that it can be made. beside health re-
sor, celebrated all over the country for its nu-
merous cures, a most beautiful spot of repose
and secu sion for all fatigued by social or
bushes, Cares. To accomplish ,hi, and to
furnish those comforts and convent, noes al
ways expected in such place Ivy the public.
will demand energy, tune and the expenditure
OF a large sum Of money. The visitor III '8S
will accordingly find this place in many re-
spects more satisfactory and comfortable than
at present.
An analysis Of the waters will soon be made
by some chemist of distinguished reputation.
Physicians, here and elsewhere, can then in
diligently prescribe the use of the waters to
their patients.
Rates of board are from $I2.so to SIG. 90
per week. The hotel will remain open dur
ing the winter. There are no mosquitoes
here. The gas from the waters offends them,
and they are dear, but undeplored in their
absence. FONS.
