ictoL Hugos Politeness 1 The great poet and novelist who lately said OK reioir to his friends on earth possessed among other charming traits a profound reverence for women A writer in speaking of Hugo says He caught up also the grave courtesy of the Spanish manners and the chivalrous form whichpoliteness to ladies takes in Spain The Castilians who Tiregreat for proverbs say that what goes into us when we are in swaddling clothes remain mains until we are rolled up in the windingsheet Victor Hugo thought that he had forgotten Spanish But he spoke nothing else in the delirioda i crigis of his last illness Every woman whom he met lie treated as a ladyand he used 1 to step on one side to lei his Irish cook who was old and ugly pass Like a true Frenchman he probably had more admiration ad-miration for a good cook than would have been inspired by anyother domestic domes-tic His leehngd towards the unfortunate unfortun-ate Duchess of Orleans was of the most romantic character but as he did not like to arouse the jealousy with which Louis Phillippe and Marie Amelie were inclined to regard her he paid them three visits for every call he made on her The princess and the poet corresponded corre-sponded when the absences were long and her secretary Asselme was often the lettercarrier Victor Hugo worshiped wor-shiped the widowed Duchess as a good Catholic might venerate an image of the Virgin Mary The Scotch at Fullers Hill Gardens On Wednesday last those citizens of the city and neighborhood hailing from the land 0 rakes and bonnie Scots i numbering about 400 held
