An Interview with Count Bismarck.


A letter in the London Daily News gives
some interesting particulars relating TO the
Prussian Minister. never yet, says the
writer, saw any one who so impressed Inc
with an idea of power. Count Bismarck
believes in himself, and fully SO. lie
believes he is called on to do certain work,
and that he is quite able to accomplish it.
His power Of endurance is very great. lie
often sits up night after night, working hard.
During the campaign he never slept more
than three hours out of the twenty -four.
This is less than Napoleon l. under similar
circumstances, who took four hours sleep.
But you see the effect this constantly
continued work has had upon him. His
face is scanned all over, he has quite dark
lines under the eyes, and the eyes themselves
are bloodshot lie looks like man who is
quite knocked up by being overworked,
and yet he is gay aud jovial, and pleasant
and CHEEKY.
When came in he shook hands and at
once offered me cigar. told him did
not smoke. Oh, nonsense, he said, | am
sure you do. Why everybody smokes; the
whole world smokes. What surprised me
most was his thorough openness in conversa-
ton. Without the least reserve he spoke Of
his intentions, of the future of Prussia and Of
Germany. For one hour aud half he thus
went on speaking. His resolve is indomtabIe
but he also feels certain of going through
with the work before him. The king is, of
course, mere tool in his hands; but it shows
his great skill and dexierity in turning such
an instrument to serve his purpose. His
words were, he "took the bit between his
teeth" Ga literal rendering Of the French
expression). AsI said before, it was the
thorough openness OF the man that SO greatly
surprised me. And there was no acting "A
part; it was no assumed ingenuousness, that
you saw and felt at once. There is no
stiffness in his manner, nothing ceremonious
lie is quite natural, and there is nothing oi
the air or manner you expect to find in a
minister. He is all the day long overwhelin.
ed with giving audiences etc.
went TO him in the chamber, and sent
him my card. He came out to me, and
said he could not then stay, rs he was just
going TO make speech, but if would come
later in the evening to his house, lie should
be happy TO see me. When l went, 8
gentleman came into the antechamber to say
the Minister begged me to wait little; he
was busy, but would soon see me. Ever
then, at that late hour, he was giving
audiences. When all were gone, be came
and led me into his room. He is tall more
than six feet, and we'll and strongly built
lie is a fine, handsome figure, broadchested
and gives you the idea of possessing vigorous
health. And he must have a good consti.
tuition to work as he does. lie has a tiue
towering head, broad in front, broad too,
behind. The photographs of him are not
like; they do not give a notion Of the man.
do not think him liberal in the sense that
you and are liberal. There is no doubt
that what be thinks best be will enforce, but
what he does is, he believes, for the good
and glory of Prussia.

A Subaqueous Volcano.

About two months since, says the Placer
Vile Courier, during the month ofSeptembcr,
singular and curious phenomena occurred on
Lake Bigler, nearly abreast of A. IL. Saxton's
saw-mil. The lake at the time was calm and
quiet, when suddenly the water boiled and
bubbled up without any apparent cause. The
water arose in a conical form some five or six
feet in height, and in a circle Of some eight
or ten feet, then subsiding formed whirlpool
drawing everything within its votex. On the
succeeding day the same singular occurrence
took place, and was witnessed by a number
of persons employed about the mill After
the commo,ion had subsidized on the second
day, one of the men employed on the lake
shore took a small boat and rowed out to the
spot that had been in such ferment, who,
upon placing his hands in the water, found
that it was warm. At the place where this
occurred there is deep hole which has been
sounded to the depth Of seventy five or eighty
feet; outside Of this Ddentation of the bottom
of the lake the depth Of water is only thirty
or forty feet. Two years and more ago, this
hole was noted as an excellent fishing place,
but for the past two years no fish have been
taken there. Those familiar with this por.
ton of the lake think it is the crater Of an
extinct volcano"

Anecdote Of Stonewall Jackson.
ThoRNroN; TAYLOR County, w. Va, !
September %, 1896


Editor Staunton Spectator:-I undertake.
10 give you an imperfect account of an occur
renee that took place at the widow Wills at
the time Of the death ofher son who was
captain in the Union army will give it to
YOU Just as it was told to me, which was in
these words:
The Union forces were all out Of sight, and
then the rebels came in view-came on and
hurried after and then came more and more
s,ill-a man (an officer evidently, for he had
his staff with him, paused at the gate) asked
question or two of some one, alighted from
his horse, threw the bridle rens over post
and with slow step, solemn mein, and rev.
erentIy uncovered bead, passed the threshold
into the room Of the dead, the loved and lost
lie was not old, he was not young, stern he
was, in look, not comely, yet there was
something o. beni nignity, and kindness, and
sympathy that cleaned out from under the
faded old cap drawn DOVE over his forehead.
lie gave calm, s,eadIast look at the dead
sodier-strong feeling was battling with the
soul of the rebel officer, for tremor played
with his lips, and truaut tear wandered from
his eye and bedewed his cheek. calm,
steadiast look on the dead soldier, on the
widow, on the maid, and then he said softly;
kindly, "Let us pray"
And oh! the depth Of the feeling the
strength Of the subdued earnestness in that
stern looking, poor clad, dus,-covercd rebel,
as he commended in low and eloquent words
the widow and her brotherless child 10 the
care and protection, and the comfort Of the
mercitul Father of all. And oh! how he
prayed that the angry surges Of this ocean Of
war might soon be hushed by the still, small
voice of the A-wise, and love be born of
tumut to the now discovered sections. It
was deeply, touchingly pathetic 1t was not
long, but very appropriate, very sincere. He
rose--touched the cold hand of the dead SOL
dier-graveIy, owly bowed 10 the disconso:
late widow with compassionate "God bless
you" laid his broad, weather-siain palm low
inely on the bowed head Of Ida, with a quiv.
ering lip, saying Heaven bless YOU stepped
noiseessly from the room, out of the house
mounted his steed, and his horses hoofs we're
clattering down the road.
"Who is that?" asked the chaplin of sotns
one standing near. "What officer is that
who has Just taken his horse and ridden away?'
"StonewalI Jackson" was the reply:

A New GERMAN GUNpowDER.-A German
has brought to Paris an inexplosible powder
which is going to make revolution in this
department of war material. This powder,
invented by Mr.. Numeyer. OF Leipsc, does
not explode in the open air when infamed,
it burns up slowly like SO much tinder;
but it explodes with more explosive force
than any other powder, in closed cavity; it
is cheaper than ordinary powder, aud may be
manufactured anywhere, even on board
ship. Experiments are now being made
here with this powder, and il all that is said
oft is true, everybody will be obliged to
have il.

LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

1. Subscribers who do not give express notce
to the contrary, are considered as wishing 10
continue their subscription.
2. If subscribers wish their papers dlscontin, !,
ued, publishers may continue to send them uh'il
3, If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the Office or place to which
they are sent they held responsible until they
settle their bills and give due notice to dlscon-
tinuc. .,,
4. If subscribers move to other places with
out informing the publisher, and the paper Is
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
snopsiblc. Notice should always be given OF the
removal.
s. The Courts have decided. that refusing to
take paper from the Office, or removing ana
leaving it uncalled for, is prma 1acia evidence

Archbishop Alemany

Pen pictures of the archbishops and many
of the bishops who attended the Plenary
Council, recently held in Baltimore, says the
Monitor, were drawn by correspondent Of
the New York Tribune. The following hand;
some notice of our excellent Archbishop aps
pears among the rest,
Yonder refined and noble,looking Prelate;
who wears white cassock, instead ofthe pur-
pie robe assumed by his brethren, is the Most
Rev. Joseph Sadoc Alemany, Archbishop
of San Francisco. He is a Dominican monk,
and retains, in the color OF bis habit, a relnn.
iscense ofthe peculiar garb of his order. lie
is native of Catalonia, and, in the course
of some Of the many political troubles that
have affected Spain, was exled to Italy.
Thence he came to America. and was chosen
Provincial Of his order in this country. He
was consecraed Bishop of Monterey in 1850
and promoted to his present dignity in 1858.
lie appears TO be but little beyond middle
age, and is Of rather dark complexion, with
fine handsome features scanty black hair, a
high, bald forehead, a pleasant expression;
and dignifed carriage. An active, vigilant
keen sighted pastor, with very few old fash,
oned notions which one would naurally look
for in man Of his nationality and monastic
training, and with pretty full sympathy
with American ideas, he is destined to exert
powerful influence in the church, and is
looked up to with considerable deferonce BY
his brethren of the Council.

THE FLOODS IN THE WEsr.-A correspon
dent in Indiana writes us that the recent flood
throughout parts of Ohio and Indiana
having subsided, some little idea Of its extent
can be ascertained. The losses, in the
aggregate. fall heavily on farmers of small
means, where crops were near the river
bottoms. Thousands of corn, yearly ready
for harvesting, were all swept away, and in
many cases farmers of limited means lost
their entire crop. What the flood did not
submerge, the incessant rains rotted. On
White river, in Indiana, the heaviest loss was
sustained for thirty miles ou its banks.
Eleven dwellings were hoated off; happily
but two lives are known to have been lost.
The loss in live stock was immense; dead
hogs and COWS could be seen drifting with
the current for week after the rain bad
subsided.

WORKING CKMENr.-Referring to the ce-
ment around Placerville, the Silver Mountain
Bulletin says:
We are satisfied that il, after crushing, the
pulp be treated with steam or hot water, in
"mullers," double the amonnt will be realized
than from the cold water process now in use.
The yield from this cement rarely falls below
$40 per ton, which makes it more valuable
than quartz Of double that yield, as three
times the quantity can be worked in the same
time, and nearly all the gold it contains saved
if proper system Of working it be pursued.
