(VICTOR HUGO'S KINDNESS.
Bar ah Bernhardt Witnessed It and
Hugged Him In Appreciation.
One daj when the rehearsal was
er an hour earlier than usual I
wm waiting, my forehead pressed
agmnst the window pane, for the
arrival of Mme. Guerard, who was
ooming to fetch me. I was gazing
idly at the oppooite footpath, which
ii bounded by the Luxembourg railings.
Victor Hugo had just crossed
the road and was about to walk on.
. An old woman attracted his attention.
She had just put a hoavv
bundle of linen on the ground and
was wiping her forehead, 011 which
were great beads of perspiration.
In spite of the cold, her toothless
I month was half open, as she was
1 panting, and her eyes had an expression
of distressing anxiety as
ahe looked at the wide road she had
to cross, with carriages and omniboaes
passing each other. Victor

abort conversation he drew a piece
I mi monej from his pocket, handed
it to her; then, taking off his hat,
I he confided it to her and, with a
I ywck movement and a laughing
p lace, lifted the bundle to his shoulder
and crossed the "road, followed
I by the bewildered woman. I rushed
V downstairs to embrace him for it,
L bat by the time I had reached the
passage, jostled against De Chilly,
wanted to stop me, and def

'the Oman's back, but it seemed to
Me that she hobbled along now
mere briskly.
The next day I told the poet that
I had witnessed his delicate good
deed. "Oh," said Paul Maurice, hia
Swet with emotion, "every day
dawns ?is a day of kindness for
fern." I embraced Victor Hugo, and
we went to the rehearsal.?From

THE PICAYUNE.
What tha Cain Usad ta Buy Whan It
Was In Circulation.
The first time I ever saw a penny
was at school in Yankeeland in
1847. It was given me to pay the
man for bringing me a letter from
the postoffice?10 cents postage, 1
cent delivery in those da vs. People
had to get their mail at the of1
fice. There was no free deliv:
ery. Certain neighborhoods of
: piasters, however?the college
; town was full of such?secured the
! services of a lame, halt or blind
! man to bring their letters from the
office to their door once a day for
! the stipcifll of a penny each.
! There was no coin in circulation
of less value than a picayune where
! was my home. A picayune repre:
sented so little value that a miser
j was called pieayunish. At the same
time it represented such a big value
that we children felt rich when we
had one tied in the corner of our
handkerchief. Old Manette, who
set up her table and urn for an hour
or so every morning at the corner
of Camp and Canal streets, served
delicious hot coffee?a big cupful,
too?for a picayune, but when I
was out of bed early enough for that
it was to go to market with John.
Then we took our coffee at Palmare's
stand, for she supplemented
a greasv cake the size of a cracker
as lagniappe with the coffee. At
the corner of Chartres and Canal
streets was a tiny soda fountain
where one could get a glass of soda
for a picayune?or mead. We children
liked mead. I never see it
now, but as I recall it was a thick,
honey, oreainy drink. We must have
preferred it because it seemed so
much more for a picayune than the
frothy, effervescent, palish soda
water. It was a great lark to go
with pa and take my glass of mead
while he ordered ginger sirnp (ol
all things!) with his soda. In the
changes years bring, a penny now
buys about what a picayune did in
mj day. One pays a penny for
ever so big a newspaper today. A
picayune was the price of a small
beet in my time.?Mrs. B. itiplsj
in Hew Orleans Times-Democrat.

The literary society held its regular
meeting Friday, March 24, Miss
Swann in the chair. The query for
debate was: "Is eloquence a gift of
nature,or may it be acquired?" The
decision was rendered in favor of the
affirmative.
"Miss Fearless and Company"
went to Salters Friday night; the
proceeds of the entertainment will
be applied to the base-ball team.
