HONORE DE BALSAC.
French Writer Subject of Last INT
versity Extension Course Lecture.


Prof A. y. Myrick delivered the last of
very successful series OF lectures in
the university extension course in Will
lians Science hall last evening The sub
tect Of the lecture was the great French
novelist. Honore de Balsac, with refer
ence to his place in literature. the signi-
ficance Of his work and the charac ter
of the writer rs portrayed In his works.
Iionore de Balsac, said the speaker,
Wa a man of remarkable capacity. he
WAS Il genius In the immense fun" OF his
knowledge. This noted French writer is
to be compared with Napoleon; he was
rs great a master of intellectual mater
ial as Napoleon was of the science Of
war. Balsac possessed his inintabe
power by dint OF hard work, his working
day having in It Is hours. He has been
characterized as a miracle Of energy, a
man of inexhaustible physical strength.
Prof Myrick quoted several times from
Balsacs novel. The Wild ASSES Skin
to illustrate the descriptive ability of the
writer and his character Balsacs own
struggle against poverty is incorporate ed
In many Of his productions, Palsac some
where said Of himself: II have placed my
heart In the brain which never fails
and which survives all" And this was
literally true in his case. Reason and will
were the dominating factors in the great
realist's life
The lecturer dwelt upon the fact that
the novels composing the series Of the
Human Comedy constitute a sort OF re-
construction of the society of Paris and
the provinces upon the basis Of q scisn-
tific classification in some sort resemb-
ling that Of the animal kingdom Tho
novels composing the scenes then will
be. after all. sort Of corpus Of social
natural history AS necessary conse-
Quence Of his scientific prog gram. Balsac
was shown to be the one great realist
OF French fiction and the ancestor Of the
modern French realists.

RETAIL FRUIT.
BAY STATE CRITICISM.
CFrom the Boston Traveller.

The republican machine OF Massachu-
sets has in the past undertaken many
methods OF coercion, but the action OF the
members Of that party who participated
In the meeting which nominated Albert
p Langtry as its candidate for secretary
OF the commonwealth gave an exhibition
unprecedented in the history of the State.
In Its endeaVor to force the members
of the Republican party in the Legislature
to vote for the machine candidate the
caucus attempted 10 amend the constl-
tuition of Massachusetts and to turn what
that once venerated document says shall
be a secret ballot into an open disclosure
Of how each man votes.
1t was not surprising to see Representa-
tive Robert NJ, Washburn OF Worcester
leading the fight for such a coercive
measure, but tho surprise came when
Speaker Joseph Walker took the floor
as the principal advocate and apologist
of steamroller methods,
The constitution says that the election
TO fill vacancy such as now exists shall
be held In a Joint convention OF both
houses OF the Legislature and shall be
by ballot. Fearing that the opposition to
Representative Langtry would DO so
strong that a democrat would be elected
II the members Of the party were left
to exercise their Will by ballot, Repre-
sentative Washburn proposed that when
the ballot WAS taken each member should
rise In his seat announce openly his
choice and then proceed to drop his
ballot In the box. In othor words. al
though the constitution prohibits roll
call, tho roll-call should be had In effect
and everybody be whipped into line.
No honest man objects 70 tho prfnc,nls
Of an open ballot, hut there is great OH.
lection 10 the method In which If ia OH
tained and how It 10 used

IN MEXICO.

Pessimist, pessim'st high and low,
What did you find in Mexico
Nothing novel In act or word,
More than | ever have seen or heard;
Men are yet as they long have been;
Saints or sinners-whiche'e will win:
Brother with brother and race with race,
Bartering blood for power and place,
Strong men dying by night and day,
So the living could have their way.
Thus II has been and Is ever so
Where the pleasures and passions grow.
Dreamer-delver In long-ago-
What did you find in Mexico?
Shades Of the Toltecs fingered there
Aztec conquerings filled the air;
Cortex striking with greedy fangs--
Guatimozin In torture-pangs;
Star-flass greeting in bloody fray,
Cerro Gordo and Monterey.
Small Napoleon's empire boast,
Maximillian's unhappy ghost;
All seemed wandering to and fro
There in the hils Of Mexico
Patriot seeking the sunrise-slow,
What did you love in MeXico2-
Heroes teeming with bravery grand
Fighting for God and father-land,
Still in the faith of duty strong,
Whether their cause were right or wrong
Still did they suffer toll and fight,
Still did they seek with brain and
might
Something perhaps they could not ace
But that they hoped was yet to be
Thus with their blood there yet may
flow
Future blessings for Mexico,
Will Carleton In Every Where.
