Victor huno,s Pronhecv.

A correspondent of the New York
Times sends to that paper the trans
lation of few lines copied from a
sheet of paper on which Victor Hugo
wrote them, presumably just before
his death. They read as follows: Il
represent party which does not as
yet exist, the party of revolution, Of
civilization. This party will mold the
twentieth century. There will come
forth from it, first, the United States
Of Europe, and then the United States
of the World" In fact, Victor Hugo
might have written these words long
before his death. They represent SEN
timent rather than conviction after all,
for Hugo was more prophet than logi-
clan. and his dreams or hopes con-
fused themselves easily with facts
