at their interview at Ferrieres a fort

When on the 9th of September, 1870,
Victor Hugo, his son and daughter,
Mime. Drouais, and several friends left
Brussels for Paris. where the poet ex-
pected a triumphal welcome, their train
was brought to a stop at Maubeuge by
the side of another containing part of
Vinoy's army that had escaped the dis
aster Of Sedan. Men and horses were
huddled pellmell i'll cattle trucks, the
men silent and depressed, brooding over
their unexpected and blastlike defeat.
Hugo tried to cheer them. He leaned
out Of his carriage and shouted: "Vive

there was no response, not even when

speaking to them. On the platform,

Madison, n. J., but he recently took
notion that he wanted to join the sum
mer colony at Newport. After looking
over dozens of costly cottages he made
ND his mind that the mansion and estate
owned by Louis Lorillard and known as
Vinland would just about suit him.
Mr.. Lorillard said he was willing to
sell, but that his price was ST., 600, 600.
This was the highest price ever put ON
house in Newport. When Cornelius Van
derbilt gave Pierre Lorillard $500, 900
for the Breakers property, which ad-

which had not been broken up TO that
time. But Mr.. Twombly had decided
that he wanted Vinland, and so he

There is no doubt that he has as fine

to Louis Lorillard by his aunt, the late
Miss Catherine Lorillard Wolfe, who
built the house. The property, besides
the massive brown stone villa, includes
an estate of g acres of the most desira-
BILE land in Newport. There are also
commodious stables, a lodgekeeper's
cottage, greenhouses and extensive Crap
cries. The villa is exquisitely furnish
ed throughout, this having been done
according to the refined and artistic taste
of Miss Wolfe, and it is to be turned over
to Mr.. Twombly just as it stands.

aunt, Mrs. Harrison, who invited her to
make her home at the White House.
Mrs. Dimmick gladly accepted and

James Buchanan.
James Buchanan was the last demo-
cratic president Of the United States
before Grover Cleveland, and don't the
foregoing extract from his message
sound strangely like Cleveland's mes
sage calling the extra session OF con-
gress in 1893. Buchanan was writing
at a time when the democrats had been
in power for many years and had fore
ed the free trade notions upon the ma
ton. 1t ruined the industries then. it
has ruined them now. Buchanan was
writing at the time of the unparalleled
gold production on the Pacific coast,
but it was all required to pay for for
eign products.
History proves that the democratic
party is a party Of incompetents. They
never were able to run the government
in a successful manner, and it is not
probable that they ever will be.
