Victor Hugo ami Gen. Grant

Now tina. the actors in the story
have all passed. away. think that
may relate here an anecdote of Victor,
Hugo and Gen. Grant which has. not 1
believe ever been published When
the General Was in Paris on his way to
Marseilles to beg his journey around
the world, he testified his desire to call
OH the great French poet. An effort
was made TO arrange an interview be-
tween them, but Victor Hugo refused
TO see the illustrious American. Il
cannot forget" he said that while
he was President Gen. Grant sent
message of congratuIation To the Ger
man Emperor for his victories over
France. The General quietly gave
up all idea Of Wis ting the irascble poet
and proffered an explanation OF his
action. He told me. however, that
this complimentary essage to the
Emperor William on the occasion OF
that monarch's ctories was mere
act of official courtesy. such as one
ruler s bound TO extend to another on
the occurrence OF any event such as u
marriage, the birth of prince or
princess in the existence of h fellow
potentate But that message of con-
graduation from the President Of the
United States to the Emperor Wi liam
always weighed heavily on Victor
Hugo's soul, and reused him to write
very pass onate piece of invec-
tive against G,n. Grant in his '.Annee
Terrible. Ali well, the two great
souls doubtless understand each other
better now. Now that the mists of
passion aud prejudice has given place
to clearer atmosphere beyond the stars.
