Victor Hugols face Is n that puzzles
me. II has two physiognomies. When
it is seriousA-almost gloomy; and not
only like a fac that has never laughed,
but one that can never do so---and his eyes
look at people with an expression of in
quietude. One feels Ike saying to him.
"Hugo, do me the favor to look the
other way y They are the eyes of a stern
judge, or Of a duelist stronger than you,
who wishes to ~faseinate You by his glance.
AT such moments put on him, in
thought, a white turban: he becomes an
old shcik- replace this with a helmet: he
Is an old soldier--place on his head n
crown, and he is a vindictive and mex
orable king. lie has something of the
austerity Of a priest, and the gloom of a
magician. He has q lion-like face.
When he opens his mouth il seems as if n
roar must be heard, and when he raises
his strong fist il seems IA If he could not
let it down without crushing something.
At such times one can read on his face
the history of all his struggles, suffer
ings, the iron-like tenacity Of his nature,
the gloomy sympathies Of his fancy, his
conyicts, collins, specters, RACES, and
hatrcds, all Of the Ombre, or he would
say, the dark side Of his works. But
suddenly, AS happened to see that even
ing, while some one was telling n funny
anecdote Of one of the cabmen Of Paris,
he burst out intoA laugh so gay and free,
showing all his superb white teeth, and
in that laugh his eyes and mouth as
snmed such a youthful and ingenious
expression that one could no longer rec
ogHize the original man, and was quite
as astonished us if n mask had fallen
from his face and presented to his view
the true Victor Hugo for the first time.

1t Is a surprising thing, but it is quite
n safe thing to say, that possibly the
greatest voluntary gathering of mankind
is annually seen at n horse-race. This
race is the English Derby. Tho iowa Of
EPSON is fourteen miles southwest of
London. and is famous in two ways--as
being the place of the great trial of run
ming speed named after the earl of
Derby, whose country-seat, the Oaks, is
near by, and rs beng the place where
EPSON salts originated. Tho railway
carries passengers for u shilling the round
trip. Lines Of vehicles fourtoeIf miles
long occupy the highways. The attend
ance usually numbers 1000, 900 souls.

aAIDs oF TIE SLAVE DEALERS.


mattop,s Review Of s,anlev,s New Bool
The upper country of the Congo has
for wears been subjected to the raids of
the Arab slave dealers---the same set of
inhuman banditti against whom Gordon
defended khartoum. tho same class
against whom Gen. Wolseley went forth
in the Soudan. Stanley for DAYS steamed
past sacked and burning villages, and
his description Of the Gendish work of
the Arabs is heartrending, and should
set all C~hristendom In league against
the hcllish business which no country
except. England has as vet tackled in
downright earnest. Stanley camped
near an Arab stronghold. This is his
summary Of the results OF the brutal
raiders.
'1he slaye-tradcrs admit they have
only $500 captivcs in this fold, yet they
have mided through the length and
breadth of a country larger than Ireland,
bearing fire and spreading carnage with
lead and iron. Both banks Of the river
show that iIs villages and forty districts
have been devastated, out Of which is
only educcd this scant profit of 1890 fe-
males and children, and about ., 900
tusks Of ivory The spears, swords,
bows, and the quivers. Of arrows show
that many adults have fallen. Given that
these f1s villages were peopled only by
1000 each, we have only a profit of 9 per
cent; and by the time all these captiyes
have been subject to the accidents Of the
river voyage to Kirundu and Nyangwe,
Of camp life and its harsh miseries, to
the havoc of smallpox, and the pests
which miserics breed, there will only re
main n scant / per cent. upon the bloody
venture.

peditions have come and gone with their
booty Of ivory and slaves, and these five
expeditions have now completely weeded
the large territory described above. If
each expedition has been as successful

enabled to obtain 5000 women and
children safe to Nyangwc, Kirundn, and
Nibondo, above the Stanley falls. Thus

Navigating n branch of the Congo
called the Black river, Stanley and his
companions tried to open a conversation
with the people of a pleasant looking
village, \ few Of the principal men adj
vanccd firmly to the edge Of the river bank
and one spoke unhesitatingly thus: 1--WE
do not know who you are, or whence you
came, or whittier you go, or what is your
intent. If YOU come neal enough 10 the
shore we will begin fighting. If you
wish to go on, 90. If you wish to re
turn the river is free, but touch not the
land Was there ever such candor, so
beautifully and clearly expressed, or was
it the guides way of speakingl We re-
turned the way we came, u departure
being accompanied by a shower of sticks,
clods, stones, etc, which. however, did
not approach within 200 yards OF our
steamer. 1t is probably in this way

Louis Ricl's war-flag was n common
table cloth, Gxi feet, with fringed, or
rather frayed edges. On the flag is q
steel engraving of Notre Dame DIES
Lourdcs, and beneath is written the
pedigrc of Louis Ricl; then n prayer to
the Virgin Mary, signed by Louis
david Ricl. On the reverse of the
picture is n %prayerful proclamation
The flag is in possession Of Capt.
Howard, who will probably take it with
him TO his home in Connecticut.
The flag which has just been presented
10 the Sixty fifth regiment Of Montreal
bears a sacred heart, with the inscrip-
ton. Thy kingdom come" Curious
enough, the badges taken from the half
breed rebels at Batoche--one Of which
wls brought TO Toronto by n grenndier,
taken from Ricl himself also bears n
sacred heart and the same motto.

Nothing is so speedy as gambling to
deaden tho sensibilities, freeze the sym
pathics, and make calloused the nature
of the participant. 1t creates an in
satiate greed which must be satisfied
even at the expense Of the life blood of
an opponent. One who has ever watched
an average game Of poker will have seen
how swiftly the participants become
transformed into something repellent,
not human--something sinister, brutal,
savage, abhorrent. Eyes become filed
with a cold, fierce light. The continued
i'll luck OF n player, even though ac-
companied by the knowledge among the
Others that the money being lost Is not
his own, that it represents bread for
starving children. clothes for a ragged
wife, funds belonging TO an employer,
creates only n savage exultatiOn that he
is losing. and no sentiment of sympathy
or commiseration ut his misfortune.
The pallid face, pinched mouth, glaring
eyes, despairing expression of a loser, If
noticed mt all, excite only n diabolical
delight over the prospect that his i'll luck
will add to the winnings of the others.
Rarely in such meetings does II hear
pleasant converse. There is nothing
social in the developments. Generally
the conversation is ribald, often BIAS
phemous, and frequently shocking in the
extreme, rs the players anathcmatize
their own poor luck or the fortune Of
their opponents. Each player becomes
a striving hyena, who aims to fasten
his fangs in the throat of his opponent,
and is at the moment as fierce, as savage,
as much a beast of prey as the animal
which he resembles.
To the confirmed gambler all evil is
possible. His voraeity speedily absorbs
and obliterates his moral sense, and he
cares as little for the rights of others as
the wolf does for those of the lamb
which it holds in its grasp.

This is the kind of a yarn that comes
up from Florida: Some boys were in the
habit of bathing in a certain pool, but
were frequently driven out by an aliga-
tor, which came in to sample them.
Various methods of driving him away
having failed, the boys finally rugged up
a dummy BOY and stuffed it with dyna-
mite. The ruse worked. Stealing quietly
in the alligator closed his jaws on the
dummy and the next instant found him
self blown tail first up the river three
miles. We are not informed as to
whether or not he was killed. The IN
certainty which surrounds this simple
story adds vastly TO its artistic merit.

In the Roman theatres, where the au-
