THE UNIVERSJTT EXTENSION Beoond Lecture by Fr<>r.*Kpragur a

Grand Hurcewt.

Tbe second lecture In the present series f tbe University Extension course was Iven by Prof. Leslie Willis Sprsgus in the High School Building last Thursday evening before a Urge and appreciative audience. Tbe lecturer's oratorical esse and grace, bis broad knowledge and culture. were again manifest: and there was increased interest on tbe part of his bearers, as be entertainingly unfolded the ”* sod writing* of the greatest of Frencb1 —Victor Hugo. Prof. Sprague ha. a command of language aa he speaks rapidly and extempore, that in itself is an In-

tellectual delight.

Miss Mary Hildreth, daughter of Assemblyman James M. E. Hildreth, opened the evening with an.instrumental selection on the piano. Bchuman's "Night Song.” which was beautifully played. Miss Agnes Feaster read from ''Les Miserable*” a portion of Hngo's description of tbs gamins of Paris. Tbe lecture then began. After summarizing briefly tbe social and political condition of France at the time of Hugo's birth, 1805, Prof. Sprague spoke of tbe result, of the Revolution of 1789, of the uncertainty and wavering which It produced, the reaction upon reaction, ebsos upon chaos, revolution and counterrevolution, which tore asunder the very vitals of tbe French nation, as witnessed In the Napoleonic Empire, the Bourbon Restoration. I-oui* Phillipe. tbe Revolution of 1848. and so ou to I he Third or presFrench Hi public. Throughout all this e, 1828-18M), Hugo played his part, becoming more and more a revolutionist: a democrat of democrat.: intensely emotiousll In his politics! belief, and sublime In bis faith io and love tor tbe people. Literary France, like political and social and industrial France, was tyrannised over by tbe Classicists, or literary aristocrats. who had set up certain styles, systems. and a fashion in letters that was altogether foreign to the time. Out of tbs awakening there aroee the Romanticists, beaded by Hugo, who, in breaking away from tbe Classiciste, portrayed with brilliant pen and consummate art the degradation of the time, the frightful contrasts of society, the latent righteous rage of aa oppressed humanity that was dratiusd to assert itself. After the spectacle of the French Revolution, said tbe speaker, Victor Hugo dared to believe in the capacity of tbe people for self-gov era moot; moreover, Victor Hugo dared to proclaim hiafaith, in the political club* and governing bodies, in tbe face of royalty, and by means of novels abd plays. .Vs a result,

Hugo was exiled.

The professor then dwelt upon tbe conception. in exile, of Hugo's monumental fork—“Les Miserable*,“—which is tha embodiment of its author's scathing arraignment of the ruling classes for the fallen condition of tbe people. , In “ Lae Miaerables" we hire Hugo's message— tbe responsibility of society for human misery, vice, and crime, which lira In the neglect to educate. Hugo's great protest was against capital punishment. This, said the lecturer, was Hugo's unanswerable argument, Inasmuch as murder by the state lessened and cheapened the value of human life, and tended to Increasa crime. The eacredness of a human life was Hugo's plea. Withiu every one ot us ia a soul—a pearl—however steeped In the mire of human failings. Oor salvation liea
