The fame of this distinguished mah should not be limited by calling him "the greatest French novelist and poet of the century," though to place him above all the brilliant writes who have adorned the literary history of a country so prolific of scholars and writers of superlative merit as France is to give Hugo the most exalted ran*. Mis career is phenomenal because of the precocitv of his youth and the undimmed fire of his age which were separated ITV two full generations. When Napoleon was in the zenith of his glory and Hugo's father was the major domo of Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain, the IHV Victor was already giving promise of his mental power. When Walter Scott, now dead over half a centurv, was issuing, in the prime of his life, his splendid romances, Rob Hoy appearing in 1817, ViclorTTugo was step ping upon the stage to enjoy the woiider uud acclamations of the Parisians, for it was in 1817 he wrote the lest poem of the year, for the French academy, to be denied the prize because of his youth. It is probable that American readers did not lul realize his" power until Jjf.s Mherablfs was issued, and widely circulated in this country, in 1862. This work, if it is not the greatest work of fiction of the century, there is at least no greater, netted the writer $(50,000. But during the inter1 between 1817 and 18(52 the constaut succession of writings, prose and poetry lictioii and drauia, were not so well known litre, though throughout Europe any man was great who was great in Paris.
Such ii character as Hugo's was possible only to France. That fiery and in temperate zeal, that seething and restless energy, the intense self confidence and superb egotism were all indigenous to the (iallie temperament. Such a character could only be honest, and when he came in contact with the subtle, false Louis Napoleon, one or the other must fly, as one country could not hold both alive, lie was as fierce against that royal sham as a Curlyle could be—as tempestuous.
and yet as kindly and gentle, as Dicken's Bovthorn. The mission of France, during the last century, has been to act as a political yeast-powtlsr in Europe. The effervescence and fermentation which have kept Franco a bubbling caldron have [eriiieated the continent and quickened the spirit of liberty. All the quickness of intellect, the versatility of talent the reckless courage, and the sublime con eeit of the Parisians weretypitied in Hugo Perhaps in no other country could even the greatest man calmly turn his hurial over to his country in the full confidence that nothing would plcatehis countrymen better than to pay him the most maguificent funeral honors. It was a fine confidence, loo, to take them at their word and to believe that all their adulation had been sincere. As far as temporal honors go, Hugo's life has been glorious. His beautiful retreat on the Qhannel island and his home, in Paris for the last thirty years have been the MecCas for a train adoring pilgrims, and amidst all the the^ atric demonstrat^w^o.f^V^ijCh^nyi^ifc a-tm '-••a*"",le

PARIS, May 22.—Victor Hugo died at half past 1 o'clock this afternoon. The ministry will request the cJlamber of deputies to adjourn as a token of respect to the memory of the deceased.
It is reported that M. Hugo bequeathed his manuscript to France, and that he left it to the republic to seject a burial place for his remains and to decide as to the form of his funeral.
Victor Hugo's condition was so manifestly worse this morning that his death was reported as cei tain to take place within a few hours. When this fact became known, Cardinal Guidhart, th? Archbishop of Paris, sent specially to Hugo's residence, offering to visit him and administer spiritual aid and the rites of the Catholic church. M. Lockrey, the poet's son-in-law, who was in attendance at the death-bed when thej cardinal's proffer came,- replied for Hugo, declining, with thanks, the archbishop's tender, and saying fur the dying man "Victor Hugo is expecting death but h« does not desire the services of a prie.-t."
The government proposes a civil funeral for Victor Hugo at the expense of the state. The newspapers of Paris appear in mourning this evening. It is believed that the funeral will be the grandest seen in Franco for a century.
The poet was sketched as he lay on his death bed by the great painter Bonnet, who will transfer to canpas the impression taken.
In the senate M. I trover delivered an eulogy on Hugo. The speaker said for the past sixty years Victor Hugo had been the admiration of France and the world.
Vicomte Victor Marie Hugo, oneof the most distinguished writers of the present century, was born at Besancon, an ancient fortified town near the eastern boundary of France, February 26,1802, where his father, an officer in the French army, was then commandant of the garrison. The latter .subsequently rose to the rank of general, and was a man of great strength of character, of remarkable intelligence and the author of Some important military works. He married the daughter of a merchant of Nantes, and of the three sons of this union Victor was the young est. It is his illustrious career that .has rendered the family name immortal From his mother he imbibed romantic royplist sentiments, although his father was a most devoted follower of the first Napo'eon. Victor's boyhood was that of soldier's son. While yet an infant he was taken by his parents to the Isle of Elba, his father having received orders to take command of a garrison there. When Victor was less than four years of age he was, with his two brothers, taken to Paris by his mother, where she took up her abode,- her husband having been ordered to Naples, where Joseph Bonaparte had just been nominated king. His early home in thegayest capital of the world

was sent to schoo', bui was treated" witJ special consideration by reason of his very delicate health. He is said to have been so low-spirited at this early age that only his mother could make him smile, Between them there existed a peculiar affection, which lasted throughout her life. She was a woftian of very remarkaable character, and her influence contributed largely to the early mental development of her distinguished son.
After spending two years in Paris Mme. Hugo joined her husband in Italy They took up their abode in an ancient palace built on a precipice, where, through the fissures in the rocks, the boy Victor could peep out on a magnificent landscape and indulge in wonderful day dreams. A soldier's family is seldom at rest, and Victor's father was soon com polled to follow Joseph Bonaparte to Spain, when his family again returned to Paris. A commodious residence was found in the ancient garden of the Feuill antinef, where young Victor passed many happy years, which had ever since been to him a dear and hallowed memory. Previous to that time his life had been spent amid scenes of bustle and excitement. Ashe has himself said, he "began to traverse Europe before he began to tread the way of life."
His only companions iu his new home were his mother, his two brothers, and an aged priest, who was a kind tutor and taught the boys a good deal of Latin and a very little Greek. It was in the garden of the Feuilliantines that the boy Victor first met Adele Foucher, who afterwards became his wife. At that time she was a girl of 13 or 14, and ofteit came to play beneath the shade of the old trees. It was there that an acquaintance began between the two children that ripened into an affection which lasted through life.
A short time before Napoleon's abdication at Fontaineblean in 1815 General Hugo rejoined his family and placed his two younger boys in the Pension Decotte, a preparatory school in Rue St. Marguerite, with the view to their subsequently entering L'Ecole Poly technique. Young Victor began early to distinguish himself, and soon gave evidence that the mantle of genius had fallen upon him, He organized dramatic representations among the fellow pupils, and filled volumes of copy-books with poetry. From 13 to 16 years of age he had pioduced a prodigious collection of vei ing odes, satires, poems imitations of Ossian Virgil, Horace, Martial, and other Latin authors, romances and fables, epigrams, madrigals, charades in rhyme, impromptus, a comic opera, an "epic of 500 lines, called "The Deluge," etc. All this work was accomplished during his hours of recreation and yet he found time to indulge in the pastimes of the youth with his companions. Towards the fair sex he always displayed a marked tenderness. It had the delicacy of a ncble and manly nature. During his boyhood the one woman in the world for whom he entertained the most profound"respect was his mother. Many of the most daintily polished of his early effusions were addressed to her. It was during this time that she inculcated in him the principles of royalheld the highest
ism, which, after her, p'ace in his thoughts. He also imbibed from her the spirit of antagonism to Christianity, which, except for one short period in youth, survived the rest of his traditional creeds. She was a zealous disciple of Voltaire, and it was only natural that her inflnence in this direction should assert itself in her childrep.
Genius seldom takes long to declare itself, and young Victor soon found a way to make his rare gifts known. One dry while all the pupils of the Pension Decotte wtre taking their customary morning walk he boldly stepped out from the ranks as the boys were passing the Institut, within the walls of which was the secretary's office of the Academie Francaise, the literary corporation founded by Richelieu and, motioning the usher in charge of the school to fellow him, the two ran quickly up the great staircase and entered the sanctum of M. Raynodard, the secretary. Victor handed him a small roll of paper and explained, in a hesitating ana nervous manner, that it was a poem for competition on the snbject named in the annual'
HAOT®, SATURDAY, MAY 23 I886R^
award of ^prizes—namely: "The Pleasures of 8tndy.n The official courteously accepted the precious morceau, and marked it with the nnto.ber 15, Victor's age. ^Strange coincidence "The two hastily departed and rejoined the school. After the lapse of two weeks, Victor's elder brother, AbeL called at the school, and, with a delight he could not conceal, announced to his little brother that he had received an honorable mention from the Academic Francaise. "You little donkey," he, however, added, "what induced you to ppt your age into the poem You might have won the priie."
This was Victor's first success, and at the first attempt It was a grand one, too, for a boy of his a »e. The .newspapers of the day made favorable mention of him, and he was honored with invitations to dinner from several of the academicians.
Shortly afterwards, and just before the holidays, the self-confident young author entered into a compact with* a select band of his juvenile admirers that he would
write a complete novel in fifteen days of his vacation or, failing, give a dinner to the whole of them. -He had not overestimated his powers. "Bug Jargal" was the result. On its being read to the youthful critics, it was pronounced a grand success. A dinner party was given in its honor* by Abel Hugo, and young Victor was the hero of the occasion. It is hardly to be wondered at that Victor determined upon adopting literature as a careei. He and his brother Eugene, who was anxious for a like success, quitted college and devoted their time competing for prizes and writting articles and verses for a'magazine started by Abel. This was the initial step towards Victor supporting himself in the future by his pen. The lads lived at home with their mother, who not only delighted in their literary tastes, but continually encouraged them in the prosecution of their labors.
In 1821 a heavy blow fell upon this noted family circle by the sudden death of Mme. Hugo.. Up to this time she had had the entire guidance of her children without any interference on the part of General Hugo. On his assuming control of the household he objected to his sons pursuing the path of literature, and offered them allowance if they would quit it and adopt a regular profession. Victor was the oply one to aecline the proposition, and he thus cut himself adrift from all paternal guidance. By his pen he managed 'to provide himself with a hand-to-mouth existence. It must have been meagre, indeed, when his income- amounted .to less than $150 a year. His life at this time is portrayed in his character of the young student "Marius." In after years father and son grew to appreciate each other and a cordial sympathy existed between them but at this period of his life, and when he was only seventeen years old, Victor stood alonein the world, with the bare exception of one or two friends who cheered him on with words of encouragement. It was no play-work in those early days, but a continuous system of labor and toil over prose and verse, anything, in fact, that would sell and so provide for each day's need.
The first volume of this struggling author's short poems was published in 1822, through the assistance of Victor's brother Abel. The book was entitled "Odes et Poesies Diverses." It was a fortunate thing for Victor thaJ..w first persons to noRsess iii of them was with a copy dinary to^jjy^ijBennechat, reader-in-or-notice^fe,Louis XVIII. He attracted the the king to them, and, as Jthey ained *^a result was a pension of 1,000 francs. The first edition of the work, l/00 copies, was exhausted in four months, so rapidly did it grow in popularity. Victor had been for some time engaged to Mile. Adele
Foucher, whose father was an old friend of General Hugo, and the successful au thor now urged their marriage, the pen-sion-enabling him to provide a home for her. The wedding took place at St. Sul pice in October, 1822. The bride was 18 and the bridegroom 20.
M. Hugo's next work was a tale, "Hans d'Icelande." It created a great sensation, as its pages contained unmistakable evidence of the young author having be come a disciple of the romantic school inaugurated by Sir Walter Scott. A second volume of "Odes et Poesies Diverses was published in 1826. It exhibit) marked change both in the author's po litical opinions and in his style ofjiterary composition. His royalism giadually faded away, and, with the rising generation of Paris, he and Lamartine together espoused the cause of'republicanism. In the fallowing year, his first drama
Cromwell," was published. In the preface -the author demolished Racine nd the sticklers for the unities, and asserted the freedom of the modern drama against the rules of Aristotle.
About this time a literary revolution took place in Paris, with "Olympian" Victor Hugo as the leader. A club was formed and included the names of Dnmas. Paul Foucher, Mery Arnold, Fleury. Sainte Beuve, Thiers, Mignet Piesse, and Armand Carrel—men young, imaigina live, ardent, and confident. Their object was to renovate French literature by doparting from classic rules and models and substituting a varied and irregular verse for the momentous A lexandrines of the old school, and making art conform as nearly as possible to nature. This inno v&tion was pursued to such an extent as to even bring into prominence things' so disagreeable as to be positively repulsive. The new schools was called "Les Romantiques." They were stigmatized as "poetic barbarians, and violated every principle of literary orthodoxy."
In 1829 M. Hugo brought out his work', "Les Derniers Jours d'un Condamne a Mort," the terrific interest of which secured it an immense success. Such was its efi'ect upon Augur, the secretary of the Academie, that he threw himself into the Siene and was drowned. M. Hugo's next drama was "Hernani." It was produced at the Theatre Francais February 26, 1830, and the event will ever be memorable in theatrical annals. It ca\ised a scene of riotous confusion among the audience. The excitement was intense. Balzac, Theophie Gautier, and other poets, reviewers, and jonrual-
ists of. "La Juene France1' were present to defend the new drama against the denunciations of the "classics." Romanticism was victorious. The day after the performance Chateaubriand, who more than ten years before had styled M. Hugo "l'enfant sublime," wrote to him expressing his admiration of his genius, and hailed him as one rising before the world just as his own star .was setting. The Academic went so far as to lay a complaint at the foot of the throne against the attempted innovations contained in this play. CharlesJt. sensibly replied that "in matters of art he was no more than a private person." Shortly after the revolution of July, 1830, his
Marion de Lorne," which had been suppressed by the censorship under the Restoration, was brought out with suc"Le Roi s'Amuse" was performed at the Theatre Francais in January, 1882, and the day after its production was interdicted by the govern-: ment. M. Victor Hugo, who published a number of dramatic pieces of various merit, ofter many struggles, was admit ted into the academy in 1841, and was created a peer of France by Louis Philippe. In 1849 he was chosen president of the peace congress, of which he had been a standing member. After 1852 M. Victor Hugo resided in exile in Jersey, Guernsey, and elsewhere, and refused to avail himself of the general amnesty issued August 15, J859. On the fall of the empire, however, he hastened bade to his native countrv, entered heartily into the republican movement, and was returned to the
National Aaumbly at Bordeaux, which he soon quitted in disgust, sending. March 9^ 1£71 the following characteristic letter to the president, M. Grevy: "Three weeks ago the Assembly refused to hear Garibaldi tcAlay it refuses to hear me. I resign my seat." M. Hugo then repaired to Brussels, but the Belgian government, alarmed by his violent writings, 'and his avowed sympathy with the communists, expelled him from the country. He then sought refuge in the seclusion of the little town of iaoden, in Luxumburg, where he composed "L'Annee Terrible." Returning to Paris in July, 1871, he pleaded earnestly lor the lives of RosseJ Ferre, and the Other commno ists, to no effect. He accepted the mandat imperatif in the following elections, but
M. Vautriaan defeated him. M. Victor Hugo has given an account of this period of his career in "Actes et Paroies, 1870-'71-'72," published in 1872. He wrote much after he quitted France in 1852, His 8»tire, "Napoleon le Petit," appeared at Brussels in 1852. "Les Chiitiments" at the same place in 1853, and "Contemplations" at Paris in 18-53. His fame rests principally on'his '"Notre Damede Paris," which has been translated into most European languages, and is known in England under the title of the "Hunchback of Notre Dame." His semi-histori-cal and social romance, "I^es Miserables," translated into nine languages, was issued at Paris, Brussels, London, New York, Madrid, Berlin, St. Petersburg and Turin, the same day, April 1862. This was followed in 1864 by rhapsodical work on Shakspeare—not likely to add to his reputation. His last novel, "L'Homme Qui Rit," appeared in 1869. M. Victor Hugo lias been a prolific writer, and a list of his works would exceed our limits. Aoiong those best known in England are "Claude Gjieux," a tale "Lucrece Borgia," "Marie Tudor," "Ruy Bias," "Les Burgraves," and "Marion de I^orme," plays and "Le Rhin," a book of travels. His most recent works are "La I^egende de Siecles," new series,Kive vol?., 1877-'83: "Histoire d'un Crime," 2 vols., 1877-'78. being an account of Ixuis Napoleon's coup d'etat "Le Pape," a poem, 1878 "Ka Pi tie Supreme," a poem, 1879 "Religions et Religion," 1880, a poem which, beginning like the "Chatiments," in a tone of comedy and irony, reviews creeds and systems, passes from Catholicism to
Nihilism, and cohcludes by an affirmation of a Theism without "catechisms, korans, and grammars" "Les Quartre Vents de l'Esprit," 1881, poems and"Torquemada," a dramatic poem (1882.)
MACKIN AND GALLAGHER.
Judge* Ilarlan and r-sliam Disagree and the Accused Ave Out on Hall CHICAGO, 111., May 22.—The writ of error asked for in the case of Joseph C. Mackin and Wil.liam J. Gallagher, and ftrgued befere Judge Gresham .and Justice Haflan was decided- this morning. The two jurises disagreed. -The effect of this is that the question will go to the United States supreme court, and in the meantime the convicted parties are released on bail, pending the decision. Mackin and Gallagher were convicted of rifling a ballot box in the Third precinct of the Eighteenth ward at the recent national election and sub stituting bogus ballots for those cast by the electors. Their prosecution was based upon the filing of a criminal information
JJnited States district
against tiiein Lj by their attorney, and the point was attorney in the present instanc? their offense partook ef the nature of an "infamous crime" in the meaning of the United States statutes, and that a crimi nal information was not adequate, but that the accused should have been regularly indicted by the grand jury. On this point Justice Harlan and Judge Gresnam disagree, the former holding that the conviction of the men was .adequate and complete. The prosecution of the two men has been long and expensive, and great interest centered in the result, owing to the prominence of Mackin in local political offairs. If the supreme court should sustain Judge Gresham, the prosecution would have to be renewed In the meantime indictments against Mackin and Gallagher are pending in the state court.
A Story About Voorhees.
Chicago Tribune. Dan Voorhees tells a good 6tory of him. self. He appeared once upon a time in lawsuit out at Terre Haute in which one of the chief witnesses on the other side was the mother of Senator Booth of California. In his free and easy way the Tall Sycamore asked questions that the witness resented, so it seemed, for though inquiry after inquiry was propounded, not the slightest sign of attention came from the witness-box. Mr. Voorhees became impatient and his questions grew a little snappy. Nof a bit more effect was pro duced. Finally, in dire exasp«ration, he demanded in his own all-6weeping orator ical way whether or not he was going to be answered at 11. Then, with a smile barely tinging her protest, the lady turned to the lawyer of her friends, Dick Thomp son, and asked, with a seeming innocence that ruined all that court room's sfense of solemnity: "Mr. Thompson, must really say something to a man that looks like that?" She pointed to Voorhees and fairly shuddered. Mr. Thompson, in his suave way, advised her to be brave and answer the questions of his Wabash friend. "Then, I'll do it with my eyes shut," she said and she did. Mr. Voorhees is very proud of this story. True goodness, he insists, does not always have jeauty as its index.
Irishmen for Russian Service. The St. Petersburg Vcdomosti says "The Russian minister at Washington has asked the Russian government what reply to give to the numerous offers of American Irishmen to serve under the Russian colors, in the event of war with England, as officers, doctors, spies, tor-pedo-divers and commanders of cruisere. several Irishmen have offered to furnish privateers and torpedo boats at their own expense.- American ship-owners have declared their readiness to man a small war fleet and volunteer for Russian service.
British Postal Telegraph. Extensive preparations are being made in the English post office, degprtment to meet the increased traffic expected from the adoption of the C-penny late for telegrams. It is expected that in the first year there will be an increase in the total number of telegrams of 30 per cent. Half million pounds have already been expended for new poles, wiras, instruments, etc. Over 20,000 miles of additional wires have been laid, and 1,200 extra operators and over 1,000 messengers will be engaged.
