AT ARLINGTON.

BYJ.R RANDALL, AUTHOR OF my MARYLAND,
The broken column, reared IN AIR,
To him who made our country great,
Can almost cast its shadow where
The victims of a grand despair,
In long long ranks of death await
The last loud trump, the Judgment Sun,
Which comes for all, and soon or late.
Will come for those at Arlington
In that vast seDulchre repose
The thousands reaped from every fray;
The men in blue, who once uprOse
In battle front to smite their foes
The Spartan bands who wore the gray.
The combat DER, the death hug done,
In Summer blaze or Winters SHOWS,
They keep the truce at Arlington.
And almost lost in myriad graves
Ofthose who gained the unequal fight,
Are mounds that hide Confederate braves
Who reck not how the North wind raves,
In dazzling day or dimmest night,
Ger those who lost and those who won.
Death holds no parley which was right
Jehovah judges Arlington.
The dead had rest; the dove of peace
Brooded DER both with equal wings;
To both had come that great surcease,
The last omnipotent release
From all the worlds deliriOus stings.
To bugle deaf, and signal gun
They slept, like heroes OF old Greece,
Beneath the glebe at Arlington.
And in the Springs benignaut reign,
The sweet May woke her harp of pines:
Teaching her choir thrilling strain
OF jubilee to land and main,
She danced i'm emerald down the lines
Denying largess bright to none.
She saw no difference in the signs
That told who slept at Arlington.
She gave her grasses and her showers
To all alike who dreamed in dust;
Her song birds wove their dainty bowers
Amid the jassamine buds and flowers,
And piped with an impartial trust,
Waits Of the air and liberal sun!
Their guileiess glees We're kind and just
To friend and foe at Arlington.
And mid the generous Spring there came
Some women of the land, who stroye
To make this funeral field of fame
Glad as the May Gods altar flame,
With rosy wreaths of mutual love,
Unmindful who had lost or won,
They scOrned the jargon of a name
No North, no South at Arlington.

DR.. Jordan's idea of the college professor is
the most exalted. He should be not only able to
carry on the advanced work in his department
without strain on himself, but he should also be
able to carry on and to actually be engaged in
original investigation. If g professor in botany,
he shall not only be able to teach botany but
shall also be among the leaders in original
work If a professor in English, he should not
only be able to do the work in his classroom
but shall carry on original research in 'philology
Such will be the character of all the new men
who come into the faculty. Those who are ac-
quainted with the views of the president and the
board of trustees, recognize that the institution
is entering new era in her history. Never be-
fore have her aspirations been higher, her
methods simpler; never had a man more able ard
so willing to lose sight of self and work untir-
ingly for the best interests of the college than
the new president. These points need not be
mentioned to anyone connected with the affairs
of the institution, for to them they are patent.
Many changes are being made which common
sense approves because they spring from common
sense, and the outlook is so promising that
many of the best students in the senior class have
expressed the wishithat they were now fresh
man and could go through college under the new
diSpenSation.

She fought with all her strength. and being a

two of the strongest officers of the court to re-
move her to the van.

Ade1e's Life in the Asylum.

From Sketches of the Great Frenchman.
Victor Hugo's daughter Adele has been for
twelve years the inmate of a private lunatic
asylum in the neighborhood of Paris She is
about ffty-fve years of age, and her story is a
sad one. Some twenty years ago she fell in love
with naval officer who had some property in
England and several estates in Trinidad. Her
relatives were opposed to her marriage but as
she was of full age she carried her point, and
the newly married couple proceeded to the West
Indies. After few years of life together the
Commodore abandoned his wife, whose previous
eccentricity, under this blow, rapidly developed
into insanity. In her lucid moments she
has been heard to say: IF he had not
abandoned me should not have lost
nv reason" She found herself left without re-
sources and in her distress she appealed to her
illustrious father. The help he sent she placed
upon the carpet and told the trades people to help
themselves. The first corners took all, where
upon the old negress servant advised her to write
again to her father In the interval poverty and
distress were endured, which intensified the ma
MIA, and finally the poet sent for her to come
home Her insanity is mild and harmless She
can reason we'll and her memory is good, but
suddenly, while at the table, she will put her

ct with host of things which she picks. up
out of the road in her daily prone
made, and one day she collects the
pebbles in her path, which she replaces
fathers reputation, and knows his works by
heart. Mile Adele, as she is called, is supplied
with everything that contribute to her phys
ical comfort. She has her own servants, and she
spends most of her time walking in the grounds.
One day as she passed the garden where the
most afflicted patients walking she re-
marked to her companion: 'Poor maniacs; how
unhappy they must bel" Her father often Wis
tied her, and the days of his visits were red-let
ter days to her and the other patients, who
knew him and thronged to him with questions,
to all of which he gave answers While the

caress the fathers face exclaiming, II have lost
my life!" She speaks in low tone, and as he
was somewhat deaf, her companions would re-
peat. Can anyone imagine moro remarkable
scene?

VICTOR HUGOS DAUGHTER ADELE.
Betrayed by False Marriage, She Becomes
Insane and Is Consigned to MadhouSe.

HALIFAX, y. S., May 27.-The Herald this
morning published some details of the romantic
career of Adele, the daughter of Victor Hugo.
c., a well-known criminal lawyer, who acted for
her professionally on several occasions. Adeles
story, as told by herself, is as follows:
When mere girl, living with her parents in
Brussels, she became acquainted with young
man, one Pinsen. belonging to wealthy family
then living in Brussels, and fell in love with him.
He appeared to be equally infatuated with her.
They became formally engaged, and were Sc
cretly married as she believed. Owing to the
opposition of Pinsens family, the affair was kept
private, and he promised to make her
his wife publicly in due time. Meanwhile he
was gazetted lieutenant in the British army
and ordered to Halifax. Just previous to this,
he wrote to her to meet him in London where
they would be formally married, but before she
reached there, Pinsen had started with his regi-
ment to Halifax. She returned to Brussels, and
shortly afterward clandestinely left home. re-
solved to follow the man she loved so madly.
Arriving in New York, she made her way to
Halifax, and lived there for nearly three years.
Pinsen proved recreant, but she seems to have
followed him day and night, and frequently de-
clared to the family with whom she boarded
that he should never marry another woman
while she lived. She was eccentric, and never
went out unless deeply yelled. AT night she went
out alone in disguise, wearing high hat, top
boots and carrying stick. Pensen repudiated
all knowledge of or connection with Adele Hugo,
and had not been here long before he became
engaged to daughter of j. W. Johnston, then
Premier of Nova Scotia. This coming to Adeles
ears, she confided her history, in professional
confidence, to Mr.. Nation, and that gentleman
sent letter to the Johnston family, and they
Immediately broke off all social intercourse with
Pensen Lieutenant Pensen left Halifax with
his regiment for Barbados, and Adele followed
HIM. Some years ago she became insane, and
was placed in a private asylum either at New
York or Boston. The fate of the man who be-
trayed her is unknown
