 Mir. Reeder, influenced either by q spirit of accommodation or a desire to see his questioner somewhere else, pointed out the building. The reporter followed the directions. and found the historic old house at the corner of Main and ChiIlicothe streets. It is a sub stantial frame, looking considerably better for a recent coat Of paint, and bearing lev traces of its extreme age. In the second story the immortal humeriss werked at the case, and dreamed perhaps of his future fame. He was known then only as witty fellow, a genial companion au&A AA was just twenty-one. Two-thirds of his life had passed away. and he had yet to make his fortune. But from this time his star was in the ascendant. He en- tered upon his duties as an editor, and his nse was swift and srFe. He con- tinued in this sphere until the lecture field opened for him a wider reputation and better emolument. As wit his humor was distinctively American. His manner went far toward this end, and while possessing vast poweas of sart asm and irony, his shafts were % barbed that in his whole life he never made an enemy During the stormy years oftse civil war, his pen was active tn support oi the sniou shown particularly m his interview with Jefferson Davis and his picture oi Richmond after the evacuation. His powers were the gih of nature, receiving no cultivation except what the occur. rences of ordinary life afforded. Browne died al the early age of thirty-one, while on tour through England. The re mains were brought across the Atlantic and laid beside those of his father His works have taken their place among the impezishable offspring of genius, and will continue to leave their impress upon the humorous productions of his sue cessoss. Rising from mere compositol at the case to the forefron, of American humorists, it IS but natural the South Charleston people should feel proud o their fellow-c;tizen although generation has passed since he lived among them.

How Gautier Me, Victor Hugo.
The Manhattan.


 Nothing strikes me as more touching and beautiful than the meeting between Victor Hugo and Theophile Gautier, which occurred not long after the repre- sentation of "Hernani." The young poet had dreamed of this morning dur ing long evenings, and had prepared ly- rical apostrophes with which to accost the master upon the occasion of his in- troduction. But an invincible timidity had repeatedly caused him to evade the invitations of his friends to 20 and con- summate his hopes. At length one day he set out for the shrine of the god Slowly he climbed the steps of the gods temple-very slowly for his feet seemed shod with lead. He choked, breath failed him, cold precipitation bathed his temples and at the moment of putting his hand upon the bell, suddenly over come with terror, he turned and fled, going down the steps four at time, and followed by his companions, who rent the air with peals of laughter. Begging for lev minutes in which to recover, he sank upon seat, for his legs refused to support him, when at this moment the door opened, and 10 the god descende6 the steps for a wals. More overcome than Esther before Ahasuesus, or than Heine before Goethe, Theophiie was dumb and ready to fam, away. But Victor Hugo, raising him in manner, the most gracious and friendly, and post poning his yak, returned with him into the house, all lyrical apossrophes having meanwhile gone soaring away to ~ard the heavens like kites of which he had for gotten to hold the strings.
