HE TURNS AGAINST AUSTRIA.

other untitled people to his soirees and thereby
provoked the anger OF his colleagues, Whle
gaining certain popularity among the people
of Frankfort.
He had long given up that veneration, or as
he once himself expressed it, 'adorat'on loi
Austria, which he had imblbed with ms ih0Iher
mllk.n This feeling had been replaced oy lne
conviction that Prussia could not tul its mis-
sion in Germany until Austria was driven out OF
the Bund. He had already had long conVersa-
tions on this subject with several leaders OF the
opposition. Including Herr Won Unruh, and his
diplomatic action at Frankfort did indeed
chiefly consist IN Offering hostile opposition to
Austria on every possible occasion, tasS on he was tne
| Recbberg and the scenes he had with him were
not less piquant in their way than his former
encounters with Herr Won Yincke and Count
SChwern and his more recent ones with Gra-
| bow, VIrchow, and Herr Won Bokum-DollIs.
! With Herr Won VinCke he had already had
| duel which, however, was followed by no ser
! Gus results, although Bismark is an excellent
shot, while Won Vincke being short-sighted, is
! but moderately versed in the art OF duelling.
But even Count Rechberg was once 80 deeply
insulted by him that a challenge seemed to be
inevitable. Fortunately, the friends OF both iu-
teriered and prevented the scandal. On another
occasion Count Observation-Disclosures accidentally
or purposey Is not known-appeared at one OF
its sittnes, contrary to custom, in morning
dress. 1t might have been one OF those num-
beIess sittngs in the Eschenheimer Case, at
which nothing was done but TO collect so.called
valuable material for the future; still IL will be
cents morning-coat. The ambassadors who
were present are said to have been not little
shocked on seeing this coat, which ought TO
have been preserved in spirits, together With
Prince Menschikotf's famous paletot; but Herr
Won Bismark did not lose countenance in the
least, and coolly drawing out mis- cigar-case,
lighted cigar, and offered another politely TO
his nelghbor. Every one understood the hint
and morning-coat has never been seen at
sitting of the Bund since.

| HIS PERSISTENCE.
In this remarkable paper two qualities be-
| longing to Count BiSmarK are revealed, with a
want OF intention which adds greatly to the
value of the sketch. He must be one OF the
| most self-con6dent and one of the most persist
ent of men. He was in Paris in 1859, a mere
| visitor, without any instructions from his court,
| his appointment being at st. Petersburg, ana
with no relation to It's Ambassador, yet he took
| upon himself to represent Its views, and calmly
proposed to Count Walewski to give Prussia the
supremacy OF Germany as the condition of an
| alliance which would relieve France from $50
| lation. That is as If Mr.. Layard were OF his own
voition to offer NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys the hearty
alliance of England, provided France would
agree to an English conquest OF Spain. His
| Government repudiated him, but the cool
diplomatis betook himself to Berlin to the King,
then only Regent, and propounded his ideas,
which were identical with those which he Is now
carrying into such rapid effect PRUSSIA was to
come to an understanding with Russia and
France in regard to the establishment OF
German Federal State, OF which the King
OF Prussia was to be the head. After
obtaining the consent of the two powers,
a German Parliament was to be cOuvoked
at Frankfort. THIS would be hailed with JOY
by the German democrats, VINO would carry
along with them the opposing Governm ents
Prussia at the same time supporting her demands
by military demonstrations; and If the German
Federal State, with its parliament, were then
established, the Frussian Constitution, together
abolished, the Frankfort Parliament would be
dispersed, and an absolutisJ regime euergetically
entered upon" The King snubbed him sharply,
and even addressed to some German monarchs
new assurances OF his friendship, whereupon
Bsmark calmly followed HIM to Baden and
pressed the same on him again. This time he
received a singing personal rebuke, and re
turned to st. Petersburg, where he was minis
ter, only to reappear IN Berlin as first minister
OF the crown, with all his ideas unchanged OF
streng thened by a second visit to Paris, this time
as the accredited representative OF the Prussla1
court. Persistence OF this kind on the part OF 9
man who had no standing in his country-ht
was poor squire OF ancient Sclavonic birth
but little property-veTy little esteem with the
official world, and no court favor, shows the
Count to be in some measure at all events al
idelogue, and one who honestly believes tina
he, and he only. can rule the situation. Sucf
tenacitY is inconsistent with the character TO
recklessness which DR.. Schlesinger, in common
with the rest OF the world, attributes to him. o.
rather the ''recklessness" is merely the OUTSIDE
manifestation OF the inner tiXity OF will Nothtnl
seems dangerous to q man absolutely convinced
that his judgment is correct; he has only Il
apply his principles, and all will go well.
Mr.. Schlesinger concludes his paper with thes
