Victor Hugo.

PARIS, May 22.-Victor Hugo passed
away peacefully, without suffering.
His death has caused profound emo
ton in the capital. The residence of
the deceased is surrounded by large
crowds.
NJ. Floquet, President of the Chamber
OF Deputies, has requested NJ. Allan
largo. Minister of the Interior, to allow
the coffin to be under the Arc de Tri-
omphe for twenty-four hours. The
municipal Council has expressed a wish
tnat the remains be inferred in the Pan
theon. This wish will be considered by
the Council of Ministers, tomorrow.
The death of M. Hugo dwarfs every
other subject, political as well as social.
"A storm was raging when Victor
Hugo died. The news OF his death was
announced to the assembled crowd by
Vlctorien Sardou. 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 hfeless. His white hair
and heard grew quite long during
his illness. His body was much
emaciated, but his brow retains its
5iduucuI. OCulptOr DalOQ mas taken o

photograph and Glaize made another

rush of reporters to the house,
and the servants were obliged to repel
them. LOckray closed the front door,
leaving tray in the street for visiting
cards. The body was embalmed I'm

and Hugo's grandchildren are
bowed with grief. Half his fortune,
100000 francs, was bequeathed
by Hugo to his daughter Adele,

Hugo's wish that his heirs
and executors should hereafter Join in
building lunatic asylum. Jules Simon
says the whole academy will attend the
funeral and Maxine de Camp will
deliver the Grafton. The death OF
Hugo causes grief throughout the
continent. Newspapers are eagerly
sought for particulars OF his last mo-

The London Fire Districts.

London Is divided for fire purposes
into four districts, each garrisoned with
100 or 40 menza force strong enough
to deal with the individual district fires.
They are the a. comprising West
minister, Kensington, Bayswater, and
writing roughly, the whole of West
End; the B, the centre, including the
city the G. the East End, and the D,
the whole.of the south side of the river,
in which the headquarters, in the'South-
wark Bridge road, are situated Over
each of these districts there is a super
intendent connected with headquarters
by telegraph, and in most cases by tele-
phone, and. himself connected with all
the stations over which he has superln-
tendence, for the disciplin and efficiency
of which he is directly responsible to
his chief No starfofl, with one excep-
ton, is geographically connected with
another; every order passes through or
from the superintendent, even if sent by
the chief. The one exception is in favor
of the two nearest stations of two
districts For instances the station
nearest to district AIS CONNECTED with
the nearest station in District B and the
nearest in district D, but the connection
is never made use of unless there occurs
a. fire on some point between, in which
case both stations communicate and
turn out The connection of course.
also employed if there be break down
of contamination such as frequently
occurs, between the Office of the super
intendent of the district where the sta
ton is situated and headquarters This
system of communication bystelegraph
and telephone, now rapidly approach
ing completion, is, assfar at any rate as
the telephone is, concerned, the growth
of only the past few years, for it was
in the early part of 1880 that the Edison
company gratuitously established tele-
phonic communication between the B,
&c and d districts and headquarters
The commission of the, A district (the
West End) was caused by the necessity
of laying underground wires, an expense
the company could hardly be expected
to bear. The, telephone now in use is
the Grower Bell, for the postal authori-
ties, from whom the brigade rent them,
do not appear to favor the Edison, not
,withstanding that those who have had
experience of both describe the latter as
the better.-Ex. s,sfo4 81

The Presby.ter

i CINCINNATI, May 22.-In the general
Presbyterian assembly, DR.. Butler. of
Brooklyn, chairman of the special
committee appointed by the last general
assembly to report upon the work of
the board of publication, made very
exhaustive report. So far as the criticisms
upon the management OF the board,
which gave rise to the appointment of
the committee, were concerned. the re-
port exonerated the board fully. 1t
found its business affairs properly con-
Quoted, but the committee, while COM
mending the business department, in
Guiding the publication of periodicals,
had not had an opportunity to examine
the missionary department. This re-
port gave rise to discussion, and the
feeling developed was, that as there
was some conflict between the business
and missionary departments, it would
be unfair to adopt the report commend
ing the one, and to that extent, fore
stalling judgement on the other.
Hence. she report was recommitted
A resolution to open another book

convenient locality than the present
one, was referred to committee. Bishop

Church, was invited to q seat, with the

Substitute for Matches

Countless accidents. as every one
knows, arise from the use of matches
To obtain light without employing
them, and so without the danger of set
ting things on fire, an ingenious con-
trivance is now used by the watchmen
of Paris in all the magazines wher re ex-
plosives or infammable materials are
kept. Take an oblong vial of the whit
est and clearest glass and put into it a
piece of phosphorus about the size of a
pea. Pour some olive oil heated TO the
boiling point upon the phosphorus; fill
the vial about one-third full and then
cork it tightly. To use this novel light
remove the cork. allow the air to enter
the vial, and then recork it. The empty
space in the vial will become luminous,
and the light obtained will be equal to
that of lamp. When the light grows
dim its power can be increased by tax
ing out the cork and allowing fresh
supply of air to enter the vial. In
winter it is sometimes necessary to heat
the vial between the hands, in order to
increase the fiuidity of the oil. The APP
paratus thas made my be used for six
iaonths.-Er

Public Men as Authors.

And so Justice Field is to write his
memories of politics and politicians
venture the work will be most inter
esting one, and it will probably describe,
among its California "reminiscences, the
duel which he came so near having
while he was member ofthe California
Legislature. It's wonderful how much
valuable historical material is being
gotten together by distinguished men.
| know of dozen reading statesmen
who are intending to write up their
recollections before they die. Repre-
sentative W. D. Kelley, the noted pig
iron protectionist, and one of the most
interesting writer's in public life, intend
ed to write a book of "reminiscences in
connection with his daughter Florence,
who's recently married the Russian
nobleman with the Aunpronounceable
name. Florence Kelley has a style
much like that of Dickens, and she
would have made a valuable assistant.
Whether her, father will carry out his
idea alone, l do not know. Senator
Sherman could write one of the most
interesting books of this kind, and he
has a fund of material which is inesti-
mable in value His letters from. his
brother. General VIM. r.. Sherman, run
ming back for almost three score years,
are history in themselves. These
letters are, 1 understand, very full, and
they have been penned under all imagin-
able circumstances. Many of them
were written during the Rebellion, and
some describe battles. almost .lmmedi-
atelyiafter they took place. In reply
to these, Senator Sherman wrote almost
as fully IN regard to what was going on
here at Washington, and if the General
has preserved his letters. the two sets
would make up the most interesting
book of the kind ever published in this
country. 1 don't know that the Sena-
tor contemplates writing such a,book,
but his health is almost perfect, and
should he Yetire from the Senate he
could find nothing mereinterestlng and
profitable.

Transferable Tickets.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The general pas

Association met here to-day, and adj
journed after devoting almost the entire
session to law passed by the Colorado
Legislature, making all railroad tickets
transferable by delivery" 1t is
claimed that this clause was slipped
through the Legislature by ticket brok-
ers, SO that they might deal profitably
in the hitherto non-transferable
tourist tickets issued in large numbers
at very low rates by the various roads
forming the pool The act is considered
unconstitutional by the roads, and it
was decided to put the matter in the
hands of attorneys for their opinions
and then to decide upon some course of
legal procedure.

fair given this week at the New York
Metropolitan Opera House for the bene-
fit of the Saleswomen's Hospital. When

ton to chances for chairs. paintings,

Gould subscribed to everything most
literally. When he came to book CON
tanning photographic fac-similes OF letters

sented to President Cleveland or ex-
President Arthur, according TO which
one should get the most votes, Mr.
Gould found the vote at that moment
stood a tie. After little hesitation as
to which of the two he should vote for

"Mr. Gould, in Wall street they would

other duties on timber to an extent that
will destroy the lumber trade of the

When we were under the old flag, and

same quantity by railroad from Port
Moody to Lytton. Is not that nice
example of justice given us by Canadian

A Lightweight Contest.

CHICAGO. May pat the Park The,
atre, tonight, young Tommy Warren
champion lightweight of Wyoming
Territory, fought four rounds with
Chris Somers. Warren weighed only
120 pounds, while Somers was
fifteen pounds heavier. In the
first round Warren proved himself
clever boxer and very hard hitter
for his weight. He punished Somers
considerably, backing one of his eyes
and cutting his lip. In both the second
and third rounds, he had much the best
of the fight In the fourth round
SOmers' face was covered with blood
and he rushed furiously at Warren. To
show good generalship, Warren
promptly dropped on his knees to avoid
punishment, although he had Somers
whipped at the time. SOmers struck
Warren twice while he was on his
knees, and the referee, Chandler
promptly gave the fight to Warren
amid much applause.
