cession. Monseigneur Guibert was a man of 

 strong feeling on political subjects, and openly 

 espoused the cause of the princes of the house 

 of Orleans when suffering from his last illness. 

 He built the church of the Sacred Heart on 

 Montmartre, and designated it as a votive offer- 

 ing for the sins of his country. He took a 

 prominent part in questions relating to uni- 

 versity education. His chief work consisted 

 of his pastoral letters, which have been col- 

 lected and published, and the letters that he 

 addressed from time to time to the ministers 

 on questions of the day, in which he dissected 

 their views, and portrayed their policy from 

 his own point of view. Only two months be- 

 fore his death he sent a remarkable letter to 

 President GreVy, in which he recounted the 

 wrongs that had been done to the Church by 

 the Republican Government; denied that the 

 clergy had any bias of hostility toward the 

 republican system, since their religion teaches 

 them to respect existing institutions, and de- 

 fended their partisanship for the monarchy on 

 the ground that they were naturally drawn 

 toward those who protect, and averted from 

 those who despoil them. The Government, 

 he said, bad for six years persecuted the cler- 

 gy, weakened Christian institutions, and pre- 

 pared for the abolition of religion itself. 



Hatton, John Liptroit, an English composer, 

 born in Liverpool in 1815 ; died in London, 

 Sept. 20, 1886. He was a self-educated musi- 

 cian, was the composer of several successful 

 operas, and wrote original music to some of 

 Shakespeare's tragedies. 



Heine, Baron Gustave, a German journalist, 

 born in 1808 ; died in Vienna, Nov. 15, 1886. 

 He was the younger brother of Heinrich 

 Heine, the celebrated German poet. The lat- 

 ter died in 1856, in Paris, in poverty. Gustave 

 Heine, who had none of his brother's literary 

 talent, left a fortune of millions, which he had 

 acquired by skillful business management of 

 the " Fremdenblatt," which he established in 

 1845. He had remarkable tact in choosing 

 writers for his paper. The title of baron was 

 conferred upon him some years ago as a re- 

 ward for services rendered to the Government. 

 According to an often-quoted anecdote, he 

 once said, talking of his paper, " My brother 

 Heinrich was a clever fellow, but he was never 

 equal to writing for the * Fremdenblatt.' " 



Hobart, Augustus Charles, known as Hobart 

 Pasha, an English sailor, born in England, 

 April 1, 1822 ; died at Milan, June 19, 1886. 

 He was the third son of the Duke of Bucking- 

 hamshire, and at the age of thirteen entered 

 the Royal Navy. While still a midshipman he 

 saw considerable active service in the suppres- 

 sion of the slave-trade off the coast of Brazil. 

 On his return to England, in 1845, he was ap- 

 pointed to the Queen's yacht, and in 1855 was 

 raised to the rank of a commander. He com- 

 manded the ship "Driver" in the Baltic Sea 

 during the Crimean War, and was mentioned 

 in dispatches for his gallantry in the capture of 



Bomarsund and Abo. In 1862 he retired, with 

 the rank of captain, from active service in the 

 English Navy. He espoused the cause of the 

 Confederates in the American civil war, and was 

 placed in command of a swift cruiser called 

 the "Don," engaged in running the blockade 

 off the coast of North Carolina. After the 

 close of the war, he published an account of 

 his adventures under the pen-name of " Cap- 

 tain Roberts." He entered the service of the 

 Sultan of Turkey in 1867, was at once placed 

 in high command, and was sent with a con- 

 siderable fleet to blockade the coasts of Crete. 

 In the Cretan difficulty, and in the delicate 

 negotiations relating to the Christians in 

 Syria, he played a discreet and important part, 

 for which he was subsequently raised to 

 the rank of a full admiral, with the title of 

 pasha, and received French and Austrian 

 decorations. During his active service in 

 Crete his name had been removed from the 

 English Navy list, but after several years' serv- 

 ice as inspector-general of the Turkish fleet, 

 he made a formal application to be reinstated, 

 and in 1874 his appeal was granted. On the 

 outbreak of the Turco Russian War, in 1877, 

 he was placed in command of the Turkish 

 fleet in the Black Sea. An outcry was at once 

 raised against the employment of an English 

 officer in the Turkish service, and he formally 

 withdrew from the English service, preferring 

 to remain a Turkish officer. At the outbreak 

 of the war he brought some Turkish gunboats 

 safely down the Danube, past the Russian 

 batteries. After the Berlin Congress he was 

 chiefly employed in preparing for what he be- 

 lieved was the inevitable renewal of the strug- 

 gle with Russia, when he expected to find 

 England and Turkey arrayed on the same side ; 

 and during the critical phase of the Afghan 

 question, in 1885, he went to London on a 

 mission, in conjunction with Hassan Fehmi, 

 and with this mission his public career ended. 

 During this visit to England he was finally re- 

 instated among the officers of the English 

 Navy. In 1881 he was appointed by the Sul- 

 tan mushir, or marshal, being the first Chris- 

 tian to hold that office. 



Holkar, Maharajah Tuckaji Rao, an Indian 

 prince, born in 1833; died at Indore, July 

 17, 1886. He was placed upon his throne 

 at the age of eleven by the direct intervention 

 of the English Government. During the In- 

 dian mutiny, which broke out a few years 

 after he had been intrusted with his sovereign 

 rights, he remained loyal to the English. He 

 devoted himself to the task of raising the 

 prosperity of his state and increasing the wel- 

 fare of his people, and by his efforts his revenue 

 more than doubled. He is succeeded by his 

 son, Shivaji Rao. 



Humphry, William Gilson, an English clergy- 

 man, born in 1815; died in London, Jan. 13, 

 1886. He studied at Trinity College, Cam- 

 bridge, and in 1838 was elected a Fellow of 

 Trinity. In 1869 he was a member of the
