Hngo,s Strange Belief.

Victor Hugo was always convinced
that he would meet all his friends in d
future world. He was equally sure
that he had always existed from the
antediluvian times when the Creator
placed him on earth. He believed
that he would exist forever, inasmuch
as he felt in his soul thousands of hymns
dramas and poems that had never
found expression. When the atheists
would say To him: "The proof that
you will not exist in the future is that
you did not exist in the past" Hugo
would answer: sWho told you | did
not exist in the past centuriesY You
will say that is the legend of the ages.
The poet has written: Life il fairy
tale twice written He might have
said thousand times written. There
is not an age in which | cannot find
my spirit.
II do not believe in the doctrine OF
surviving personalities for the reason
that you do not recollect your interior
existence. But how can the recollec-
ton OF vanished ages remain imprint
ed on your memory when you do not
remember thousand and more
scenes and events of your present life
Since 1902 there have been ten VictoI
Hugos in me- Do you think that
can recall all their actions and all their
thoughts? The tomb is dark, and when
| shall have passed the tomb TO emerge
into light once more all these Victor
Hugos will be almost wholly strangers
to me. but it will always be the same
soul"
M. Viennet wag, asked Hugo one
day who was the greatest poet of his
time, whereupon Hugo drily answered.:
ALFRED de Musset is the second great
est poet"

The Cure for the Worlds Evils.
Madison Courier,

Christian harmony and unity is The
great need of the age. Men are perish
ing for want of it in America as well
us i'll heathen lands. All the patent
plans fer the correction of the evils of
modern society fall short of the re-
quirements. They are makeshifts, in
adequate, and at the best, partial rem
edies. The only cure for the evils of
the world, and the only hope for the
oppressed, the suffering and the weak
of the world, is incorporated in the
teachings OF Jesus Christ.

With all our schools we could never
he an intelligent people without news
papers; they are the peoples libraries,
the cyclope.lia of millions. Scholars
and professional men must read books
but woe, Woe to them if they read not
the newspapers Even the frigmenta-
ry and ephemeral character ot its arti-
Giles lend additional charms, If not nd
ditional utility to it. The freshness
and variety Of articles lure the reader
ON; it talks To men Of their business,
th'.ir political party, their church and
themselves. The men it describes are
their contemporaries, their neighb'rs.
1t thus adds something of dignity to
their lives. The newspaper OF to-day
chronicles the movements of thoughts
as we'll as those of men and nations.
All find place in these perpetual
school and textbooks Of popular learn
ing. Other things being equal, the
man or family who takes and reads a
good newspaper will he more intelli-
gent than neighbors who do not. = Her

@FoR God and Home and Native

cross and anchor intertwined, is the
significant story told in gold and pre-

MED this talismanic gift and called
out an equally beautiful response. The

\ LITTLE prosecution is often nm ex-
cellent thing, and in more ways than
one. Twelve students in Knox Col
lege, who engaged in bell,ringing and
other jubilation ON the right of the
recent triumph for their college in the
inter State omtorical contest, were put
in durance vile by the whisky Mayor
OF Galesburg for disorderly conduct.
The evidence ut the trial proved con-
clusively their Innocence, and it was
discovered that the secret Of the arrest
was that these students worked hard
for mti-license at election, and were
thus punished for it by the Mayor and
his cliqne. But they overreached
themselves. The trial was the grand
est temperance lecture ever delivered
in that city. In the examination the
facts were brought out that most OF
the boys had never tasted liquor, and
that the policeman who arrested chem
was dali drunk.

dent.
Especial telegram 20 the Dispatch.l
NORFOLK, August II, 1885.
There was quite a daring robbery
committed during the daytime yester-
day in the main Office Of the Dismal
Swamp Lottery Company, on Main
street near Church. One safe was
blown open and 800 secured, and one
Of the doors Of the larger safe, contain
ing $4,000, was partly of, when
the cracksmen were frightened
off by a clerk of the concern
entering the Office about 5 o'clock
TO brush his hair. The place was
entered through the rear from Church
street. and it is thought from the
amount of work accomplished that the
burglars had been engaged from day
light. Fifteen minutes longer work
and the large safe would have yielded
to their efforts. A full kit of burglars
tools was found on the premises. The
police at once arrested number Of sus-
picious characters found around Church
street. but only one or two are held.
In Portsmouth last night the resi-
dences Of Mr.. Charles Goodwin, shoe
dealer, and Captain William NJ. Hope,
foreman of shipwrights in the navy
yard, were entered by burglars and
rfed of money and yaluables.
1t is very evident that there is a
well-orgaDized band of thieves ope-
rating in this vicinity, and so far they
have been very successful in looting the
neighborhood. 1t is said the police
were notified some time ago that a gang
Of thieves were making their way to
Norfolk.
George A. Brown, a dealer in shoe.
findings on County street, Portsmouth,
has disappeared, and his family and
friends fear that he has met with foul
play, as he had smoney and valuables
on his person when he left home. He
was formerly in business in Nashville.
The August term Of the County
Court commenced to-day, and an i'm
mense crowd Of country people are in
attendance in Portsmouth. 1t is the
criminal term, and the docket embraces

The foreign demand for slaves must
be picking up with our dealers. as
there are several sailiDg-ycsselS and one

ship taking on slaves exclusively is
somewhat rare in our port.
A serious accident happened this az
ternoon to two wcll-known ladies Of our
city-Mrs. William u. Morris and her
daughter, Mrs. +. A. Hawkins. The
ladies were out buggy-riding or the
Cottage toll-bridge road near the city,
when their horse took fright at a pass
ing locomotive and ran off. The ladies
were thrown violently to the ground,
and Mrs. Hawkins, striking her head
Sgainst a telegraph pole, had her skull
fractured, and is probably fatally in
jured. She was still unconscious at .
O'Clock tonight, and hephysicians in at
tendance are very anxious. Mrs. Morris
had her shoulder blade dislocated and
is otherwise injured. The ladies are OF
