Frtncu, men of letter., would suy ol a brother
in art what Dumas said of Rogr de Beauvoir,
lately deceased, who had the misfortune to
be born in affluence?
'Had he been poor, he would have composed
verses equal to Merj's, comedies equal to Alfred
Musset's, or romances equal to mine!"

"Hatnaby Uadee?'' Yet such anup'inceinent is
made on the p irt or fount Aloutc thristo when
his multifarious duties permit.
If evervthinc which Alexander rel ites of
himself be true, he is perhaps a being set apart
in meiifiil HtJd corporeal qualities Eugene de
Mirecourt hints that his courage is somewhat

' Mouton uttered a low prowl, turned round,
regarding me with his bloodshot eyes, recoiled
three steps, and sprang at my throat.
"Fortunately I hud guessed what was about
to happen, and so had time to put, myselt on

opened, and his eves rolled in their orbits. He
fell, while I was still pressing his thiuat; out
my riL'ht hand was all lacerated."
if Intense conceit reu'ieru its possessor more
or h3 eccentric, Alexander Dumas mnv be con
sidered the prince of the clas. He thus heals
one of the chapters of his "tluioire de mes
Jsetei:'' ' How I brought home, from Constan
tino a vultue, which cost forty thousand francs
and the government ten thousand," and thus
sublimely enters on the subject. We are obliged
to clip, to tome extent, the wings of the nar
rative. "Two men, attended by natives and Euro
peans, were returuitie lrm BlidaA to Algiers.
'Strange!' sdi one, 'that, this maaniflcent coun
try which we are traversing should be so little
known. Know you any means of popularizing
it!" 'Were I you, minister,' said the other, 'I
would pet Dumas to go over this very ground,
and write two or three volumes on it. His boot
would be sure to be lead, and, out of the three
millions of readers, fifty or sixty thousand
wohld be deeply interested.' 'It is a good idea,'
said the min'ster; 'I'll think over it '
"These two men were M.de Salvady, Minister
of Public Instruction, and umy good friend
Xavler de Marmier.
"One fine morning in September I received an'
invitation to dine with the Minister ot ?ublie
Instruction. 1 was rather astouUhcd, but
nevertheless accepted it.
"31. de Salvandy received me in his best
manner, showed bis whi'est teeth, an I after
dinner, taking my arm, conducted me to thrs
garden, and the lollo'inir conversation took
rlace:
"31y dear poet, you must do me a service.' :
" 'A "poet do service to a minister I With a'.t i
my heart, if it were only for the novelty of the
thing. What istho nature of it?'
" 'Have you made jour arrangements for next
winter?'
" 'Me make arraneements ! I live on a bojiih.
like tb Dirtf. Wuile it h calm 1 remain; it it
blows I spread my wings, and sail away ou the
wind.'
" 'Have you any objection to Algeria?'
"On the contrary. I was about to start for
that couuirv at live in the evening on the 2Gih
of July, 1830. But at five in the mormug ap
peared in the Montteur the famous ordinances.
So ius ead of taking the mail coach I took my
musket, and three days after, instead of entering
Marseilles, I entered the Louvre.' (Dumas has
ever loved the pomp of war, but, we think, has
hitherto been innocent ol thedding huuiau
blood.)
" 'I undertake to devote 10,000 francs to the
mission.'
"And I shall add four thousand myself. For
merly I went ou my journeys, staff in hand;
now I drag a whole iaiu'ly after me.'
" 'When cn you set oil r

to finiBh: that will take a fortnight. I have
some iaiiway shares to sell, but that can bd doae

" 'It cau be let during my ab-ence.' "
But Dumas would make the voyage as a
prince, and the minister was obliged to give
him full use and possesion of a royal ship of
the line to cruise about tn the Mediterranean.
The journey and voyntre huviug bueu pub
lished soon after lii return, he considerately
encaiks:
r "My intention Is not to record here the famo is
journey through Spain, where people asserted
that I went as hisiioarapher to M. le Due de
Montpensier, nor the more famous voyage to
Africa, which, thank? to M. do Castellaoe, to M.
Leon de Malleville, and to M. Lacrosse, male
such noise in the Chamber of Deputies. No; I
mean here to speak only of the famous vulture,
price as above stated."
The rest of the narrative can only be given in
a contracted form. Ho purchased for twelve
francs a prime vulture from a youth of the Bout
Woufletaid, an equivalent to the "dons of the
Cross Doddle or the Seven Dials," and was well
pleaded with his purchase. Jugurtha, named
after the amiable Numloiau King, bad only one

There is one quality allied to M. DumaV
vanity, for the sake of which we conld almost
foreive an equal amount of a still worse thing, '
namely, pride, in his personal sketches he
very rrly speaks ill o any contemporary, and
a fund of kindness and eood-natuie Is visible
throcgh the txture of all the vagaries of his
wonderful selt-romplaeency,
Harely has Alexander b 'en a favorite with
the powers that be, a circumstance accounted
for tn his own lefty, unapproachable stylo.
"Compounded of a double clement, aristocra
tic and popular; aristocratic by my fattier,
popular by my mother, none ever united in a
nighcrdegrec in one heart,respectful admiration
for what is great, and tender and profound
sympathy for the unhappy. I have never spoken
so much ol the Napoleou family as when under
the junior branch (the Orleans dynasty). I
have never sooken so much of the younger
branch as under the republic and the empire.
1 worship those whom I have known and loved
in misfortune, and I never forget them till they
become happy and powerful.
"So no falleu prearuets passes before mo with
out my saluting it, no merit stretches its hand
to me without receiving a grasp, it is when
every one seems to have lorgotten those who
have passed away, that, like an untimely echo,
1 cry aloud their names; wherefore, I know not.
It is the voice of my heart, which breaks forth
without reference to my iniud. I have written
a thousand Volumes, sixty dramas. Let any
one open any of them nt random, at the first
page, at the middle, at the end, and he will see
that J have always inrulcnted clemency, whether
the people were slaves of kings, or kings
prisoners of the people As soon as a
personage falls I approach him, and stretch out
my hand, whether he Is called the Count of
Chambord, the Prtnre de Jolnvllle, Louis
Napoleon, or Louis Ulaiic. .... Tnus it is that
I am a more frequent visitor in prisons than in
palaces. Thus it is that 1 have been ihiee times
at Ham, once at the Llysee, never at the
Tulleries."
In the "Histo'iede mes Betes," he relates that,
within a week alter the br.'akiug out of the
"Forty-eight," he h'ul it, e following letter pub
lished in La I'rii&e. If so, and we have no
reason for thiowiog doubt on what he says, it
proves his diEinteri ste:ines and moral courage
to bo greut. Perhao? love of singularity had
something to dj in tne matter. He had been a
great favorite with t he young princes, though
disliked by their father.

Co'onel Desniotilms was sufficiently vaudalic
to tader the statue ot the Duke of Orleans,
which stood in the court of the Louvre, to be
thrown down. Dumas was furious at the wau
ton insult thus offered, and wrote to Eniile do
Oirardiu a letter which did bis heart credit.
He detailed therein the many acts of kindness
atd goodness done by the dead priuce, though,
as he says, he enpectcd to receive an invitation
next morning to go "cut a throat" with the
Colonel.
Poor Alexander's self-estimation was sorely
hurt during his canvass lor a place lu the
House ol Deputies by the language used towards
him by some Jacks in offitTe, who bad no better
name to spare him tnan "Monsieur," or "chat
Monsieur," or "that contractor lor feuil
letons." However. be had one friend,
Moie. de Girardin, who made these "Mes
sieurs" smart, if their skins were not as
thick as that cf the rhinoceros. if, in
her defense of her admiring friend, her
piaise flowed over the margin of the
just measure, Alexander was not the man to
check her liberal hand. Alas for tue uncer
tainty of life, the shortness of the reign of kings
and queens of literature, and the oblivion
wh.ch soon obscures their memories ! Maie.

entire has not heard. Certainly M. Dumas is
much lets of a marquis (a ridiculous pcrsonaue
of French comedy) than M. Three-Star; but M.
Three-Stars is much more of a monsieur than
Alexander Dumas."
Commend us to a true woman of mind when
we need a friend!
Dumas, like other mea preat and small who
Were born In the early part of the present ceu
tury, can number at this day but asmailsprink
ling of his early associates. He has-lately been
called on to write a biographical preface to a
posthumous work of au old friend and man of
letters, Hogcr de Beauvoir, one who was not
driven into the profession by need. It were
better for him, perhaps, if he had been; for
though bis friend handles his memory tcuderly,
it is evident that hi was a life of dissipation.
The book to which allusion has been made
enters into some amusing particulars of eccen
tric chaiHCters known to the author, and forms a
volume ot amusing reading. The writer's
real name was Roger de Bully; but
his uncle (Deputy de Bully) obliged
him, when he took to the profession of letters.
to w-Bume a new surname. The enforced chango
was really a happy one. He was born in Paris,
2stli Kovcmbcr, 180'J, and at an early age im
bited a taste for fictions on mediieval subjects.
In 1835 he went to Holland, and redded there
some time; and in his after works ho intioduced
many intcrestirg sketches of the life he wit
nessed there, lie married Mad'lle Leocadie
Doze, a beautiful and accomplished actress, iu
1840; but the uulou. as in rtiany other similar
conditions, was not a happy one. Tue separa
tion ot the gifted pair was effected, with much
robe, iu 1850; and the husband sought balm for
his wounced teelinus by publishing a metrical
account of the trial. His wife, a native of
Henncbou in Morb hau, Brit'auy, was known in
the world of letters. f?he died HOth October,
1859, at the early age of thirty-aeven years and
ten dajs.
This Is the prosaic side of the matter; lei us
look at it from Dumai' poetic point ot view.
"At his return irom Spain he fell In love with
a beautiful, witty, poetic woman, predestine!
by her very name to te loved. There wai
penuma love, but with it came gnuiue sorrow.
He fancied it one of these passing fancies such
as be ban before experienced, but he wns de
ceive d. This love, like the tunic of Nessu?,
scorched his heart. Irom the moment he
bepnu to love her lfo loved no ottier. He loved
In r faithful, he loved her lulte, he loved her
living, he loved her dead !
"He quilted his house (I' Hotel Pimodan) iu
1845. He would quit I'arif, he would quit France,
he would return to America, to Italy, to Spain,
go where he bad never been, to San Frauciseo,
to Jndia, to China, to New Caledonia. He
remaine l, and the man least fitted iu the woill
to be a husband wedded a woman the least fitted
to be a wiie. How explaiu this? He a
cbarmipn; young man, she au adorable young
womau !"'
Roger de Beauvoir, i his friend says,
enjoyed an iron constitution, constant good
health (he implies that he abused these gifts),
and consoled himself lor the domestic estrange
ment, but not in a Christiau or philosophic
way. In November, 18U1, when reaching for
a Look in bis library, Rue U'cher, he fell, and
the results were a spelling of the abdomeu and
lege. The most skilful d ictora in Paris were
among his Intimate friends. They did all that
could be effected by zeal and skill, but for
eiphteen mouths the mala Jy wi nt on increasing.
At last an operation was deemed necssary, and
Dr. Favrot was selected to perform it. But we
are unable without Dumub' aid to describe the
sequel.
"Favrot presented himself before the Invalid
with the iesoiutiou come to by the physicians
in one hand, and the instrument of torture in
the other. Roger felt the irois quarts (three
quarters, the instrument), and said he would
ra'.her die than undergo the operation.
" 'Faith, 1 believe you are right,' said Favrot,
who belonged to the skeptic school.
" 'Well,' said Roger, 'as there is nothing fur
ther to be done iu the operating line, let ua
have a glass of champagne together.'
" 'Champagne lei it be,' said Favrot, who did
not wish 10 annoy his patient.
"instead of a glass apiece they emptied two
bottlef.
' 'Well,' said Favrot, as they were separating,
'let us embrace, for it is probable we fchall
never tee each o'her again lu life."
" ' ou hope, then, that my suffering won't be
Iodp;.'
" '! can promise no more than about twelve
hours;' nud the patient and doctor embraced
again.
' Farot withdrew.
" 'Come to-morrow, at all events,' said Roger.
"Certaii ly,' said Favrot, M it were only lrom
curiositv.'
"And Roger laid himself out on the sofa, to
die as comlortably as he could.
"Contrary to his expectation, he enjoyed a
profound bleep.
' During his sleep a crisis came on. An issue
was formed iu his legs. Outflowed the water,
aud Roger, ou awakening, found the room inun
dated and hinuelf healed.
"Neitday Favrot came, expecting to find his
patient dend. He knocked, and it was Roger
bimself whocpened the door."
Poor R ger had fourteen physicians. He en
tertained ttieni all at dinner one day, comparing
himtclt to the Republic which had sent fourteen
armies to march against death.
But the enemy had only made a temporary
retreat. Wi'h the fogs and Irosts of winter it
returned, and for a leng lime the poor man was
unable to lie dov.n. He lived on, however, till
2Gth Aupuer, when he was visited by Count
O'Haearty (O'Kgherty in the Uxt) and Father
Aubert, two of hts early friends. Having re
ceived all the teliplous consolatiousin the power
of his friends to allord, he died next day, re
tailing coiiscioiipness to the latt.
Some veises composed by him during bis long
malady nie not without their moral:
"I had a friend for twenty years,

There are too many lawyers, cunning Creeks,

'Alas, alas I he has quitted me;
