Hubert (IIit.eiitus), St., son of Bcrtrand, duke of Gnienno, was high in ofiice under Theoderic, king of the Franks, having been a great sportsman, and, accord- ing to tradition, converted by a stag which bore a shin- ing cross between his antlers, and which spoke, entreat- ing him to turn from his gay life and serve the Clntrch. He at once entered the Church, succeeded his religious instructor, Lambert (Lamprecht), as bishop of Liittich in 708, and died in 727. His body was in 827 transfer- red to the Benedictine convent of Andain, in the Ar- dennes, which thence received the name of St. Huber- tus, and it is here he is said to have had the ab<n-e- mentioned vision. Tradition also holds that his relics, by virtue of the golden keg of St. Hubert, whicli he re- ceived from St. Peter, can cure hydrophobia, etc. The 3d of November (St. Hubert's dag) marks the end of tlic hunting season, and was celebrated by great hunts (St. Hubert's chase). — Pierer, Unic.

Hubert, Order of St., the oldest and highest or- der of Bavaria, was founded in 1444, and often reformed, the last time in 1808. The sign of the order is a golden cross on a shield, in the middle of which is the jiicture of St.Hubertus (q. v.). It is borne on a golden chain.
Hubertine Annalist, an anonymous writer of the chronicles of St. Huberts monastery, flourished about the middle of the 11th century. In his Chron. St. Hub. Andaginensis the style of Sallust is imitated. P>ethmann (L. C.) and Wattcnbach (W.) issued a new edition of it in Pertz, Script, viii, 5G5-G30, and tlie lol- lowmg opinion of the author is expressed by them: "Satis habeamus nosse, auctorem operis fuisse vi-rum inter medias res versatum, acrem judicio, veritatis stu- diosum : hoc enim totum ejus dicendi genus, hoc simjilex et sincera rerum narratio suadent."— Herzog, Reul-En- cgklop. vi, 29G sq.
Hiibmayer or Hiibmeyer (HiiiwioiO, Bai.tiia- SAH, one of tlie most learned of the Anabaptists, was born at Friedbcrg, near Augsburg, Bavaria, in 1180. He studied theology and philosophy at Freiburg with Eck, and in 1512 went with his teacher to Ingolstadt, where he became preacher and jirofcssor. In 151G he went to Rcgensburg, v.here his ministrations led to the expulsion of the jews; but, having oi)cnly expressed sentiments favorable to the Reformation, he was himself obUged to leave Rcgensburg. and taught school for some time in Schaflfhauscn.

Miinzer, and embraced the Anabaptist views. He wrote several works in support of his new views, more partic- ularly upon baptism and the sacraments ; but the ground which he took against his early coadjutor and intimate friend Zwingle provoked a violent rejily from the latter, and caused the estrangement of the two friends. Driv- en to Zurich in 1525 by the Austrian persecution at Waldshut, he was branded as a heretic by Zwingle, and, after suffering imprisonment, finally fled from the Aus- trian territory (lo2G). He preaclicd a short time at Constance, and then journeyed to IMoravia. In 1528 he was arrested, probably at Briinn, by the Austrian au- thorities, and was burned at the stake in Vienna (INIarch 10). His wife, who steadfastly adhered to HUbmayer's views, was imprisoned with him, and suffered martyr- dom by drowning. Hiibmayer is now conceded by all historians to have been a man of very exalted charac- ter, and, although a fanatic in religion, it is certain that he never favored the extreme views of some of the Ana- baptists.

Huby, Vincent, a French Roman Catholic theolo- gian, was born at Hennebon, in the Bretagne, May 15, 1608. He entered the order of the Jesuits in 1643, and contributed greatly to the growth of this order. He died March 24, 1693. He wrote a number of ascetic works, which have been edited by abbe Lenoir Duparc, and ])ul)lished under the title CEuvres spirituelles (Paris, 1753, 1761, 1769; Lyons and Paris, 1827, 12mo) ; also by the abbe Baudrand (Paris, 1767, 12mo).

Hue, EvARiSTE Ekgis, a French Roman Catholic missionary, was born at Toulouse Aug. 1, 1813. He was educated in liis native city, and entered the order of St. Lazarus, and in 1839 was sent as missionarj' to China. After about three years of missionary labor in the north- ern districts of China, he started with father Gabct, in the fall of 1844, to explore the wilds of Tartary and christianize Thibet, according to the directions of the apostolic vicar of jMongolia. Accompanied by a single Chinese convert, a young lama, they reached the lama convent of Kounbonn, where they acquired the dialect of Thibet. Towards the end of September, 1845, thej- joiued a caravan from China, with which they went to Lhassa, the cajiital of Thibet. Here they were permit- ted to remain on their declaration that they had come only for the purpose of preaching the religion of Christ. But they had barely settled when the Chinese ambas- sador commanded them to leave the comitry. They were put in charge of a Chinese escort, and carried back a journey of nearly 2000 miles to the extreme south, and arrived in October, 1846, at Macao. Here they were subjected to a trial by the Chinese tribunals, and were finally permitted to return to the station from which they had originally started on this journey. Hue, whose health completely failed him, returned to Toulouse in 1849, and gave an account of this journey in his Souvenirs (run Voyaf/e dans la Tartarie, le Thibet, et la Chine, pendant les annees 1844, 1845, et 1846 (Paris, 1850, 2 vols. 8vo). This book met with great success, and was translated into various languages (English by Hazlitt, Loud. 1851, 2 vols.; and New York, 1853). It owed its great success partly to its description of a coun- try heretofore unknown, and also to its lively style. In this work the abbe also pointed out the similarities be- tween the Buddhist and Roman Catholic ceremonials, and for it was punished by seeing his book placed on the " Index" (comp. Midler, Chips from a German iro/7i-- shop, i, 187, note). By order of the emperor, he then published U Empire Chinois, faisant suite a Vouvrage intitule "Souvenir d!un Voyage dans la Tartarie et le Thibet" (Par. 18.54, 2 vols. 8vo). This work was crown- ed by the Academy. There are several editions of it, and it was also translated into EngUsh (N. York, 1855,
