Most young married couples have first baby

they have two first babies. The first baby Is al

q summary Of the piece; which is in fact hippanS
caricsture of it.
There is of course reason for everything the
great man in Paris Il mean NJ. de Blow1tz, not NJ
Victor Hugo does. 1t has to be said tina ne does
not approve of Victor Hugos play. which he pro-
nouuces mistaken and misleading drama he
stands mp for poor Francis l., the King who amuses
himself propoundng historical views on which
dare not stay TO comment. When NJ. de Blowitz has
once proclaimed Francis l. the author of the Renais-
sance and the man who did more for French great
ness and unity than any other French King
-" moro than Louis XL, more than
Louis XIV. more than Napoleon -
there is nothing for it but to throw all our French
histories into 1.-THE fire and beg NJ de Bowltz to de-
vote his leisure to composing a new one writer
who has risen to the height of patronizing Hugo
it is necessary to speak out the work of Victor
Hugo. excusable perhaps in young poetT) must
be capable of much else. He is capable, at any
rate. of describing Hugo as determined" to trav-
esty history and to fatter the popular asSlon for
calumny and the plot of his piece as childish and
foolish. All which means that NJ. de Blowitz has
made himself the echo and tool Of the royast caba
which has filed Paris now 1t did fifty years ago
with its pancstrcken outcres against this satire
royalty.
After these heights of NJ. do Blowitz's tragic
wrath it is scarcely worth while TO quote the
remark of The Daily Telegraph that Victor Hugo is
a poet and poet only The world which had sup
posed the author Of "NOtre Dame de Paris and
Les Miserables" to be a novelist, and the author
of Hermann and Ruy Bias" TO be a dramatist
of no mean powers, will now learn how mistaken it
has been.
Mr. Burnand renews this week his attacks upon
Mrs. Langtry. While the tide of popular feeling
on both sides the Atlantic was setting in her favor,
Mr. Burnand was silent. But he seizes upon the
first hint of American disapproval to resume his
sneers. The New-Yorb correspondent Of The Stand
ard London has sent two or three dispatches about
Mrs Langtry, Enthusiastically hostile in tone and, so
far rs they can be judged by the papers that have
arrived subsequently,, unfair. Forthwith Mr.. Bur

The PerfeCtiOnists.

A reporter of this paper paid a
visit to the hall in the Potter block
last Saturday evening, at which place
there was meeting of the perfection
lists. The room was about half full
of people-the ladies being in the
majority. After some pleasant sing.
ing, Mr.. Swincforth addressed those
present on the perfectionist faith.
He tried to explain why he was
driven out of the Methodist church,
and went for that society quite lively,
According to him, there was not room
in that church for a soul; it was q
desert. He related how he was per.
secuted, and then talked for some
time in wordy and disconnected
manner, the main portion of which
must have been unintelligible to those
who had not got the perfection faith
"God," he said, twas pleased will
him." He had got the true faith
not suddenly. but gradually. Chris,

night 10 see if the Lord had come"
And still the holy ghost had not
come TO him. I'm his dispair he APP
piled TO Moody and several other min
listers. but still no relief. Finally one
minister told the troubled one that
he had as much holy ghost as he (the
minister) had. This, he said, scared
him, and now he was worse than ever.
AT last the Lord took him TO Chica-
go; he there met Mrs. Beekman; re-
cognized her as the Comforter, and
then everything went lovely.
When witness got through, he
generally made some reference to
Mrs. Beekman as the Saviour. One
referred to her as the candle that
would illuminate the whole world.
Another said of her Behold the
Lamb of God that taketh away the
sins of the world" Others proclaim
ed their firm belief that her voice
was the voice of God. One big, fat
fellow became excited and gave a
lively exhibition of his faith. He
had come, he said, five hundred miles
to attend these meetings. Others
were not properly wound up, and
thus were unable to testify as they
would have liked to, and as the Lord
did not come to their assistance, they
ended their remarks rather abruptly.
The afternoon session was kept up
some three or four hours, and in the
evening there was another gathering
of the faithful and of the unfaithful
the latter forming the large ma
jority. AT that session Mr.. Swine
forth evidently thinking that little
variety was an agreeable diversion,
spoke of Mrs. Beekman as the "bride
of Jesus Christ" and spoke of him
self as the apostle.
One member notified the unbe-
levers that if they prosecuted their
headlight, the Lord would inhict upon
them grevious punishments, and re-
lated how two wicked Chicago people
had been thus punished for not lis
tening to the voice Of God, that is,
Mrs. Beekman.
Our reporter has attended several
meetings Of the perfectionists in the
search of truth, and the above re-
presents how he succeeded. And now,
as the prophetic mood overshadows
him with its mystic knowledge, he
prophecies that his remarks will not
be received by the unbelieving per-
fectionists as the truth, but, on the
contrary, they will be apt to say that
it is persecution, misrcpr esentation,
disbelief and skepticism. He, how
ever, has one comfort-all the re-
marks of other prophets were soothing
ly received at the time they were ut
tered. Under the influence of this
prophetic mood, he further predicts
that if this perfection sacrilegious be-
lief is continued, that much misery
will be visited on the place. That
discord will enter family circles and
wither away its happiness that fam
lily ties will be broken; that friend
ships will be dissolved, and that
skepticism and Ingersolism will in
crease. It's fostering influence now
broods over the city like a pestilen-
tial fend, destroying faith, friend
ship, love, truth, religion and every
thing else that is pure and holy, and
leaving nothing in its place but a
fanatical sacrilegious belief.
1t is not with pleasure that these
remarks are made, but, because like
the headlight, we are ordained to dc
so and can't help it.

Mud Lake on berry picking excur-

and Charles, son of David Thompson,

the leg, from which he has been suf.
