To the surprise of the Austrians, no one

In astonishment the Austrian Colonel

"What?" exclaimed the Colonel "do

Bismarck's Personal Appearance.

The European correspondent of the New
York World, who won quite a reputation
as a spicy, dasbiDg writer during the war,
says that when be applied to Bismarck for
a pass, the latter stated that be had propos-
ed leaving all such business to the discre.
ton of the field commander; but, said he,
smiling, "when one has come. so far, and
from people We like so we'll as the Ameri'

The correspondent gives the following
free and easy sketch of the great Prussian's s
personal appearance
Barbaric in the stature as il the method,
measuring evenly six feet two inches in
height, and weighing not less than two
hundred and fifty pounds Count Bismarck
is entirely Prussian in physiology and
his port and strength are feudal in their
imperiousness. Seated in an Office chamber
of the great Schloss or Kings palace, with
clerks in the ante.rooms, couriers in spurs
at the hall, ready to carry orders, a table
before him filed with blanks, reports and
newspapers, and the light from the screened
windows fallings on his seated figure, you
behold in common business dress, man
who might pass for fifty years Of age, half
bald, smooth of face, save short and hea'
w moustache of grayish brown that quite
overlocks the hard shut, popderous mouth,
and nose of insignificant length, but proud
and broad nostriled
His flesh is in excess, so that around the
eyes it is puffy and creased, and his short,
story, and undimpled chin drops huge
double.fold, upon his breast. His eyebrows
are jagged if they were heavier over those
blood shotten eyes he would be terrible At
the back Of his deep cheeks pair of stiff,
bull dogs ears stands out to stop all the
winds and their rumors, and bis hands and
feet, that are determined even in rest, are
large enough to win woman's censure.-
So dark that he looks freckled away from
the light; so listful and yet SO massive that
be looks like panther IN granite, this man
would better beft baron's trencher, where
his vassals eat and tremble, than sit here on
the waxed floors Of a modern palace doing
desk duty.
expected that he would remind me of
Stanton, but he much resembled Butler

RATHER PRETTY.


We frequently hear of = pretty poem
but We have one here that is superlativel
pretty-in fact, in it the pretty is prett
we'll used up, although there is "pretty lii
tie" in it:
pretty little maiden
Had pretty little dream,
A pretty little wedding
Was the pretty little theme.
pretty little bachelor
TO win her favor tried,
And asked her how she'd like TO be
His pretty little bride.
With some pretty little bushes,
And pretty little sigh,
And some pretty little gances
From pretty little eye;
With pretty little face
Behind pretty little fan
She smiled on the proposals
or this pretty little man.
Some pretty little Gloves"
And some pretty little "dears,"
Some pretty little smiles,
And some pretty little tearsi
Some pretty little presents,
And pretty little kiss,
Were some pretty little preludes
To some pretty little bliss.
This pretty little lady
And her pretty little spark,
Met the pretty little parson
And his pretty little clerk
A pretty little wedding ring
United them for life,
A pretty little husband
And pretty little wife.

State Sovereignty.

Some years before the war, says the Bal
timore Transcript, the Governor Of Ken
tucky demanded of the Governor of Ohio
a fugitive from justice who had fed to the
latter State. The Governor of Ohio, un-
able to deny the constitutional provision
under which the demand was made, refused
to give him up, on the ground that Ohio
was sovereign State. This Governor was
afterwards member of Mr.. Lincoln's cab
met. Kentucky carried the case to the
United States Supreme Court, and it was
there argued for Ohio on the same ground
of State sovereignty which the Governor
had assumed in refusing to deliver up the
fugitives. Thereupou the Supreme Court
of the United States unanimously decided
that the constitutional requirement to
deliver up fugitives in such cases was be.
yond all doubt, but that the Constitution
made no provision for coercing sovereign
State, and by referring to the journals Of
the Convention which formed the Constitu.
ton, it appears that it refused to adopt any
remedy of that kind, and thus no power of
compulsion existed in the general govern
ment
Chief Justice Chase, it is we'll known,
when Governor of Ohio, proclaimed the
doctrine Of State sovereignty as broadly
and unquali6edly as it was ever announced
by Jeff. Davis, and the Legislature Of Mas
sachusetts formally resolved that the annex
alton of Texas would warrant dissolution
of the Union. Yet the South is never to
be forgiven for acting upon principles which
had been repeatedly proclaimed by the
leaders of Radicalism, and which it had al
ways believed to be true. The very men
in the North who were foremost in annouu-
cling these principles are the most intoerant
and vindictive in demanding that the South
shall be punished for practicing what they
preached, whilst the consistent aud Con.
servative Union men arc the only ones
who recommend conoiliation and forbear.

sar It is a curious historical fact that
the Philadelphia local officials were as
much incensed against President jackson
for his war upon the United States bank,
as are the authorities of that municipality
TO-DAY with President johnson for his de-
termination to restore the Union in all its
integrity. President Jackson was refused
reception when he visited that city in
much the same maner as. President johnson
was refused reception. For all that, An.
drew johnson will as surely be the means
of restoring the Union in it's integrity.
