two to three weeks in duration were IA

OF his school at Schnepfenthal, in Thur

The school excursion offers the ~ /,

outings. the pupil may be brought 10

son. There Sarcey's parents toilod with
varying fortunes, and thence Francisque
took his fight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints Of tho late Jules
.Ianin, who also devoted his life TO
dramatic criticism. Ilo makes an idol of
the drama. He lives for his work He re-
spectfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and not a trade, and perhaps for
that reason is tho greatest critical au-
thority in France
He told Us OF his duel with Hector
Pessard, the musical critic and comic
opera composer, who is very charming
man, by the way. Sarcey, in 1865,
wrote soathing attack ON Girardin's =
paper, La Liberte. Emile de Girardin
objected on principle to duels, SO the
editorial staff. considering their literary
style insulted by Sarcey, drew lots as to
