Extrait: Un repris de justice, qui, dans cette langue immonde, s'appelle un ogre, ou une femme de meme degradation, qui s'appelle une ogresse, tiennent ordinairement ces tavernes, hantees par le rebut de la population parisienne; forcats liberes, escrocs, voleurs, assassins y abondent. Un crime a-t-il ete commis, la police jette, si cela se peut dire, son filet dans cette fange; presque toujours elle y prend les coupables. Ce debut annonce au lecteur qu'il doit assister a de sinistres scenes; s'il y consent, il penetrera dans des regions horribles, inconnues; des types hideux, effrayants, fourmilleront dans ces cloaques impurs comme les reptiles dans les marais. Tout le monde a lu les admirables pages dans lesquelles Cooper, le Walter Scott americain, a trace les moeurs feroces des sauvages, leur langue pittoresque, poetique, les mille ruses a l'aide desquelles ils fuient ou poursuivent leurs ennemis. On a fremi pour les colons et pour les habitants des villes, en songeant que si pres d'eux vivaient et rodaient ces tribus barbares, que leurs habitudes sanguinaires rejetaient si loin de la civilisation. Nous allons essayer de mettre sous les yeux du lecteur quelques episodes de la vie d'autres barbares aussi en dehors de la civilisation que les sauvages peuplades si bien peintes par Cooper. Seulement les barbares dont nous parlons sont au milieu de nous; nous pouvons les coudoyer en nous aventurant dans les repaires ou ils vivent, ou ils se rassemblent pour concerter le meurtre, le vol, pour se partager enfin les depouilles de leurs victimes. Ces hommes ont des moeurs a eux, des femmes a eux, un langage a eux, langage mysterieux, rempli d'images funestes, de metaphores degouttantes de sang. Comme les sauvages, enfin, ces gens s'appellent generalement entre eux par des surnoms empruntes a leur energie, a leur cruaute, a certains avantages ou a certaines difformites physiques. Nous abordons avec une double defiance quelques-unes des scenes de ce recit. Nous craignons d'abord
