At dinner given to Victor Hugo in Paris

an impromptu address, in which he gave
expression to his faith in the Infinite and in
the souls immortality. His friend. Hous-

Hugo at that time was man of STEEL
with no sign of old age about him, but with
all the agility. the suppleness, the ease and
grace of his best years." He was contra
