Edmond de Goncourt.


Edmond de Goncourt was the chief
spokesman of his school. He was the
nrst to set the fashion, or at least the
i'rst to proclaim it, of going about note
oook III hand for professional purposes,
aud on nothing did he pride himself SO
much as on the paternity of the "hu-
man document. For any useful-nay,
blessed-formula let him receive ali
credit, so long as the invention is un-
aerstood to be Of a phase, not of a thing.
L limitation is necessary, in view Of
certain eHtravastant pretonsions which
would assign TO the founders of realis-
TIC fiction an onor and glory similar to
that which. IL physical science, belongs
to the author Of the "Novum Orga-
nnm.' Ii 10th cases, we are told, there
was a change of method i'll 10th the
Importance OF particulars was olnpha-
sized. Unfortunately the comparison
can hardly be extended to tie subject
matter and the results. Nature was un-
KNOWN when LaaOn prescribed rules for
the discovery of her secrets. Human
nature, the motives and conduct of
men, was as well known 1000 years
ago as it is today.
No documentary novelist has added

ism, or Iaturalisn, was at most, then,
one of method appl- d to a given body
OF already known phenomena, just as
the same facts may lie treated by induc-
tion or deduction in turns. And even
as an innovation of method it has been
much exaggerated on the ~fatuous pre-
sumption, often made by De Goncourt
and others, that no novelist before Bal
FAC had ever studied the details of life
"a presumption resting apparently ON
no other basis than the fact that our
old friends, taking such study for grant
ed, did not deem it necessary to be con-
stantly talking about it.-Macmillan's

granddaughter of Louis Emanuel :Jadin. the famous musician of Yer sailles, the renowned composer of thirty-nine operas and other compost tions surviving him to this day, has be- come a public charge upon strangers with whom she cannot converse, be- cause she speaks no language but her own Brilliant Madame Timoleon Rou- tier de Bullemont, who has sung and played for the pleasure of kings in their palaces, and who has received tokens of esteem and reward from the hands of the Dauphin, now takes her meals at the paupers' table, accorded no distinc- tion beyond that which inf1rmity and age command.
 Aristocratic Madame Timoleon Rou- tier de Bullemont, whose features even now have the delicacy and high-b daintiness of an old miniature, whose ancestors were Royalists. Legitimists and supporters of the crown-loyal Madame Timoleon Routier de Bulle- mont, who despises republics and loves monarchy, has been compelled to sacri- flee her home to a man who peeled po- tatoes while she was treading the car pets of the Tuileries.

 In January, 1897, there is another transfer which completes the story. It is between the same parties, and for and in consideration of S10 what was once a principality passes to an un- willing owner, who was compelled to accept the security he had taken for his loan

And the man who had once been the genial lord of all took his place meekly on the lower rung of fortunes ladder, and. like Hardy's Mayor of Caster bridge, gave his services for hire to his successor.
 Joseph Routier's days were ended here. One evening in the early part of February, when returning nome from the postoffice at Patterson's road house, his horse became unmanageble, and as he turned through the gateway over which there is an arch bearing the word "Routier'' the vehicle in which

 ed. In the very way the friends of ex- Senator -Routier speak his name there is a revelation of the dead mans char acter.~ Joseph Routier was one of those men to whom wealth meant merely a means, not an end. His generous, large nature was incapable of harboring a wish for money; the possession of it were redeemed in his mind only by the use it's owner made of it. And that use-Routier's whole life is the expres- sion of his sentiment in the matter that use is the spending of it, freely, with unstinted, ungrudging open handedness. This was Joseph Routiers s creed as exemplified not alone by faith but by works.

There was room for all or vou' and if the great dining room could not accommodate the whole party, tables were set on the lawns; and the French chef and his assistants tripped over each others heels in their anxiety to serve Routier's guests.

 The Mazas, a very tall, old, red building, still stands near the ter minus of the Lyons Railway. near the Faubourg Saint Antoine. It was then the largest prison in Paris. Six nar- row four-story wings radiate from a central court or rotunda.

 My maiden name was Jadin. My father was a bodyguard to Charles x. In 1880 he accompanied the King to Cherbourg He was afterward retired on half pay. My grandfather was gov ernor of the pages who sang in the royal chapel. He composed many operas and music of a sacred order. He was a man of great renown in his time.

San Francisco Six months had elapsed since their elopement, and, disregard ing the ties which bound Madame to her husband under the laws of France, she became the wife of Routier de Bullemont under the apparent sane tion of the laws of California.
 It will be noticed that the name ac- uuired by marriage Is omitted. The woman would have 1t so now. and good taste suggests this course. There is no reason why the reproach she brought upon her children should be- come an open shame.
 On a hot summer afternoon In the month of September, 1870, Joseph Rou- tier, as was his daily custom, sat Tn the shade of the trees at Pattersons Inn, waiting for the arrival of the evening mail. When 1t came it brought the news of the surrender of Louis Ma poleon to William of Prussia.
 ."Thank God!" exclaimed Routier. as his eyes met the announcement. NOW can return to France. Then he seemed to fall into deep study, and after a time shock his head and nut tered: "No; all the barriers are not yet removed"
 Joseph Routier never returned to France.
 My husband was generous. Now I am left in poverty" sighed Madame Routier, when she was seen by Call correspondent just prior to leaving her old home forever.
 Madame Routier is very, very old. sc ha hoc broken by age, by the loss of that dear companion for whose sake she gave up what women hold most precious. Yet. despite all. despite the poverty which makes her now helpless charge upon her old friends sympathy. she still re- tains the charm, the oid-time grace of the Parisian grande dame.
