Many Of Thorn Were Confident That They

But you shall shine more bright In these con-

Lord Tcnnyson, too. is reported to

Princess" is the finest lyric in the Eng.

1t is related of Victor Hugo that.
when quite unknown, he walked into
the office Of certain publisher and
tried to sell him some poems. The
publisher was not in a buying frame of

Felix Faure now holds the honors
throughout all France for his excellent
English, and Englishmcn resident in
Paris, as we'll as the public. men of
London, who have opportunities of
knowing, say that he quite equals Ma.
poleon III. in his flucncy l'Anglaise.
Nd. Faure, in fact, is the first of the
presidents who has been able to pro-
nounce English well. Theirs, MacMa.
hon, Grevy and Carnot had q very i'm.
perfect knowledge Of that language.
and Grevy was especially weak, not
only in his pronunciation but in his
handling Of English verbs. This is a
curious fact, and q rather instructive
one, when it comes to be recalled that
nearly all the last kings Of France
were good English scholars.
Among French statesmen Baron da
Courcel, the present ambassador Of the
French republic at the court of St.
James, has a fine grasp of the language
