Hugo's Unsuccessful PIay.

Amy Robsart" is an imitation, or
rather an adaptation, Of Walter Scott,
which served as the writer's debut on
the stage. He never printed this
piece, and the manuscript was suppos-
ed to be lost. When anybody spoke
to him about it, he used to say, evil
IDENTIFY in good faith, Il fancy 1 burn
ed it." 1t was found at Guernsey un-
der a pile of other old papers.
When it was produced at the Odeon.
Victor Hugo borrowed for the occa-
sion the name of his brother-in-law
Paul Foucher, the future playwright,
then schoolboy, / imagine, who sat
on the same bench with Alfred de
Musset. The first evening the piece
was Missed, and the name, then un-
known, of Paul Foucher excited op-
position. On the morrow Victor Hugo
wrote to The Debats very manly let
ter, in which he said: I'm face Of the
reception accorded to Amy Robsart' /
feel il incumbent on me to declare
that all the passages Missed yesterday
are of my writing" This is exactly
the answer he made Harcl, the man.

We'll, be it so; that proves the piece
to be mine" This was frank and de-
cided.

as the author declared. Still, the piece
is interesting, and the volume should
be read. 1t is bit of literature APP
pearing in the heyday of an industrial
and scientific exhibition. 1t is well
that things of the mind should be re-
presented by the side of the apotheo-
sis Of what is material. The Athe-

Alex II. stephens Kindness.

The grave OF Rio, Mr.. Stephens fa-
vorite dog, reminds one of the remark
which he made to his servants on his
departure for the governors mansion:
IF a dog passes here open the gate
and give him bone instead of throw
ing rock at him." The many sheds
around the premises recall his remark
that he would never own anything
that he couldn't cover. Under one OF
these sheds the close carriage in which
he made his last campaign for con-
gress still stands, much the worse for
wear. In this carriage he was driven
by faithful Harry, and pulled by tho
noted flea bitten grays," and in it he
received ovations in every county
in the Eighth district. His open
carriage is in good repair, in the
ownership of Mrs Sanford, and
will yet do valuable service. An in
nocent old quarter witted darby shows
alike the liberality of Liberty hall of

Darwin's missing link, and is as USE

has been here for fifty years. In an
swer to any question he says: "My

called dat by old marster; Use always

What She wouId Do.

"Ive brought Tommy with me- Yes" said
Mrs. Eighty, meeting Mrs. Smythe in one Of
New York's biggest and most bewildering
dry goods stores. II don't often bring him,
for l think there's great danger in having
little children in one of these big shops or ON
the crowded streets. He wears little medal
with his name and the number of our resi-.
dence on it, and I've taught him just what to
say in case he should get lost, and I'd know
just what to do myself I'd keep perfectly
calm and go right to police headquarters and
give information there and then-why, where

"Devil Ansen Hatfield, one of the
Hatfield. Mccoy faction of West Vir.
ginia and Kentucky vendetta fame,
was tried at Charleston last week
for violation of the Internal Revenue
laws and acquitted, it having been
a trumped up charge by his enemies
to get him into trouble and to lay
their murderous hands on him.
Marshal White is being highly
praised and complimented for his
shrewd and successful management
OF the case. The w. Va. and Ken
lucky State authorities have war
rants out for his arrest on charges
sworn to by the McCoys to get the
reward offered for his arrest. "Devil
Anse" is good natured, broad
shouldered backwoodsman, and
claims that he is guilty of no crime
except protecting his life when at
tackled by his enemies. He gave a
full history of the feud and of the
families engaged in it,-all of Viz
ginia birth. He served in the Con-
tederate army. The trouble began
in 1874, over a law suit. The Hat
fields and McCoys were related by
marriage and there some OF the bad
blood was engendered. Some bloody
scenes took place, one side taking
advantage of the other. and the fight
was generally engaged in by from
ten to twenty men on a side. Re
wards we're at last offered for the
arrest of the murderous factions,
and many arrests and indictments
followed, but there the matter end
ed.
Devil Ansen was promised pro-
lection by the U. S. authorities and
safe return home. He was accom-
panied by five hackers with loaded
Winchesters, as the opposing fac.
tions and detectives we're on his
track. Judge jackson ordered the
Marshal to send enough deputies to
guard the old gentleman safely to
his home in Logan Co.

Limitation of Medicines.

The man who recognizes fully the
limitations of medicines is the safest
and most practical adviser. The time
is fast approaching when hygienic and
preventive medicine must supersede
in great degree the methods of the old
healing art. Less credit given to
drugs results in a great reliance on
measures that render them unneces-
sary. And thus a knowledge of limi-
tation becomes an increase Of power.
The time has come when a vigilant,
broad minded (but strictly scientific)
electricism should be the aim of the
physician of any school, who would
make the most of the marvellous
growth of the medical sciences.in our
day. Docility, not dogmatism, is the
spirit of true science, and it is gaining
ground in the medical profession.

A conflagration in Lynn, Mass,
destroyed twelve blocks of large
shoe manufactures, burned over a
square mile from the heart OF the
town to the sea, and entailed losses
estimated at ten millions of dollars.
Hundreds Of small dwellings were
also burned, and several bank build
ings and churches were included in
the sweep in the flames. Every
newspaper Office in the city was de-
stroyed. Thousands of operatives
in the shoe factories are thrown out
of work, and the many homeless
families have been furnished tempo
rary refuge in churches, schoolhouses
and public halls.
