Rev. Dr. Forbes, of Duluth, one of
the most popular preachers and
orators of the northwest, will pay
Virginia another visit next week.
He will preach in the NJ. E. Church
next Thursday evening, August

At Victor Hugo's house one even
ing the question was discussed as
to the Communication of the sentence
of Bazaine to perpetual imprisOn-
nlent. Several politicians present
maintained that no one had ever
better deserved death than Bazaine.
Said Hugo, "Had [ been President
of the Council of War, I should
have convoked to the Champ de
Mars the National Assembly,; all
the troops of Paris; all the people );
and there in the presence of that
crowd, in the presence of that army,
in the presence of the representa-
tives of the nation, l should have
had Bazaine brought forward,
dressed in all the insignia of a
Marshal of France. Then the Pres
ident of the Assembly would have
read aloud the judgment declaring
Bazaine traitor to his country,
and condemning him to degrada-
ton. Then the senior subaltern Of
fcer would have torn off his cross
es. trampled his epaulettes under
foot, and, the ceremony over, would
have said to the degraded man,
Nov Monsieur Baza1ne, go! you are
free!" No one can deny the grand
eur of this conception of moral and
exemplary chastisement.

The supper given on Wednesday
evening by the ladies of the Metho-

Tables we're laid in one of the va

Opera House block, the use of
which had been so kindly given by
Mr.. Fay. The tables were tasteful
ly decorated with flowers, and laden
with choice eatables. A large
crowd partook of the excellent re-
past, and the neat sum of over $500
was netted.
