 1:3O p. m. on Friday, the 22d in

 known that he had but 8 fey
 hours to live Cardinal Guibert

 thanks the Archbishop's tender
 and saying for the dying man "Victor Hugo is expecting death
 but he does not desire the ser
 vices of a priest"
 A storm was raging when Vie
 tor Hugo died. The news of his
 death was announced to the
 assembled crowd by Victorien
 Sariou. The dying man lay in a
 trance for some hours before the
 end. He awoke suddenly, raised
 his head, gazed at his family and
 friends standing around the bed and sank back lifeless. His white hair and beard grew quite long during his illness. His body was much emaciated, but the brow retained it's grandeur. The sculp. tor Dalon took a cast of the face, Nadar photograph and Glaize made another sketch. His last words were, "Adieu, Jeanne, adieu," addressed to his favorite granddaughter. The funeral! too6 place on Wednesday last.
 A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
 Vicomte Victor Marie Hugo was born at Besancon, February 26, 1892, his father being a Colonel in the French army. From Bes- ancon he was taken to Elba, to Paris, to Rome and to Naples be- fore he was 5 years of age. In 1909 he returned to France and received classical instructions at house. In 1922 he pub lished the first volume of his codes and Ballads" and his tales of "Hans of Iceland" and "Beg- Jargal," were witten about the same time. In 1926 was brought out a second volume of "Odes and which exhibited a his political and literary opinions. In 1927 he composed his drama, Cromwell" In 1929 he published his Hast Days of @ Condemned Criminal" the abs sorbing interest of which secured it an immense success. Hugo prepared a further attack on the stiff and unnatural style of French literature in his 'Hernani," first played at the Pheater Francais, February 26. 1880, and it caused 8 scene of riotous confusion. The Academy went so far as to lay complaint against his attempted innovations at the foot of the throne. The sovereign, Charle X, sensibly replied that in matters of art he was no more than a private person. Shortly after the revelu- ion of July, 1880, his "Marion de Lorme," which had been sup> pressed by the censorship under the restoration, was brought out with success, Gle Roi S'Amuse" was performed at the Theater Francais in January, 1882, and he day after it's production 1t was interdicted by the Govern nent. The poet, who published number of dramatic pieces Of various merit, after many strug' ,les, was admitted into the Academy in 1S4l, and was created Peer of France by Louis Philippe. In 1849 he was chosen President of the Peace Congress, ,f which he had been leading member. After 1852 Victor Hugo 'esided in exile in Jersey, Guern-

Assembly sitting at Bordeaux

which, however, he soon quite
 in disgust, sending on March
 1871, the following characterIsti
 letter to the President, M. Grevy
 "Three weeks ago the assembl,
 refused to hear Garibaldi; to-da,
 1t refeused to hear me. I resigl
 my seat"
 M. Hugo then repaired to Brus
 sells, but the Belgian Govern
 ment, alarmed by his violen
 writings, and his avowed sympa
 thy with the Communists, ex
 pelled him from the country. Kt
 then sought refuge in the seclu
 sion of the little town of Vianden
 in Luxemburg, where he wrote
 "L'Annee Terrible" Returning
 to Paris in July, 1871, he pleaded
 earnestly for the lives of Rossel
 Frere and the other Communists
 but to no effect. He accepted the mandat imperatif in the following elections, but M. Vautrain de. feated him. Victor Hugo has given an account of this period oi his career in "Acts ct Paroles, 1S70-71-72," published in 1872. He wrote much after he quilted France in 1852. His satire, Napoleon le Petit" appeared at Brussels in 1852; "Les Char mants" at the same place in 1853, and "Contemplations" at Paris in 1853. His fame rests principally on his "Notre Dame de Paris" which has been translated into most European languages, and is published in English under the title of "The Hunch back of Notre Dame." His sophisticated and social romance, "Les Miserables," translated into nine different languages, was issued at Paris, Brussels, London, New York, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and Turon Oh the day, April 3, 1862.
 This was followed in 1864 by a rhapsodical work on Shakespeare. not likely to add to his reputa- ton. "L'Homme qui Rit," hIs last novel. appeared in 1869. Historic dun Crlme." being an account of Louis Lapoleon's coup Petat, was published in 1878. Victor Hugo was an airy, prolific and an entire list of his works would be inconveniently ong. The latter years of his life were quietly spent at his home n Paris. On the occasion of his birthday, the Paris ans bedecked the public build> ngs Of the city most gorgeously n his honor. The Champs Glysees were gayly adorned with lowers and banners, and the Avenue Victor Hugo was thonged with citizens of all classes from uorning till nights. Political diff erences of opinion were forgotten | n the desire of all to render | homage to the brilliant, unsel6sh, f cratic, poet of France and of humanity. Jules Claretie in the Temps says that the mother of Victor Hugo in speaking of his Infancy once described him as 'eing so exceedingly wan an thin hat he more nearly resembled able>knife than a human being, 'et on his eighty-third birthday le appeared so vigorous and active hat the delighted citizens in heir enthusiasm christened him he "Oak, the King of Trees" lis fame as an author is firmly stablished and will surely en- lure, but his views as states nan were utopian and almost i'm ossible to reduce to practice.
