BISMARCK AT VERSAILLES.


Daily Life of kina william and His Premier.
Some interesting particulars about the daily
life of the King and Count Bismarck at YER
seilles are given in a letter from that town,
dated October 25, which says
The King Of Prussia has taken the Prefecture for
his residence Generally on Thursdays and Satur-
days the King goes out hunting, taking his depar-
ture in an open carriage with four horses preceded
by a platoon OF Dragons galloping two hundred
metres in advance as scouts. In the evening the
game which has been killed is distributed among
the troops Of the Guard, with the execution
OF what is reserved for the Kings table.
Many of the soldiers sell what comes TO
their share, so that we are well supplied
with hares and venison. Meat and butter are
both at an eXorhitint price; non try is abundant,
and the consumption much larger than that Of butch

drove through the cold damp morning air to her
present home, where she arrived about IL
o'clock.
The appearance of the ex-Empress and the
Prince Imperial in one of their favorite resorts
in Chislehurst in the course of Saturday caused
surprise to those who saw them--the fact of her
arrival up to that time having been a close
secret. The ex-Empress, her son, and members
of the household attended IL o'clock mass at the
small Roman Catholic church. A good many of
the residents of the village had assembled along
the way, and as her Majesty and the Prince I'm
perial passed they were respectfully saluted on
all Sides and the salutes we're very gracefully
acknowledged. The ex-Empress was simply and
neatly attired. She wore over q short skirt of
brown velvet dark robe, white handkerchief
round her neck, and black round hat, trimmed
with black silk ribbon, generally called sailors
hat. AS the imperial party entered the church,
the whole congregation stood up, and the En-
press and her son walked along the centre to
their seats, bowling their Acknowledgements of
the marks of respect that had been shown them.
The little church was crowded in every part
At the close of the service the same Difference
was shown. Both the ex-Empress and the
Prince looked in excellent health. The Prince
is at times allowed to roam about the picturesque
suburbs of Chislehurst freely, and on these occa-
sions he proves himself to be as joyous and wild
and careless boy as his best friends could de-
sire him to be.

FORT PLAPPEVILLE.
How Baznine Might Have Escape

The special correspondent of the London
telegraph, writing from Metz Nov. 4, gives the
following description of Fort Plappevllle aud
the country it commands
found the fort Of Plappeville to be OF larger
dimensions than had at cursory glance estimated.
1t mounts 81 guns and In point OF commanding posi-
ton it little inferior to st. Quentin. But it Is
finished, at least on the side toward Metz. The ira
verses ana the parapet are OF immense thickness.
The ground work is of solid masonry, with much
narrower ditch than fortihcatons OF ike sort
amore acute angle. and have much more material
in them while the whole OF the uppr works are CON-
posed of EARTH The fort Ia irregular In shape, aaked
by six bastOns the enceinte being sunk, and the
cavalier unfinished; but the peculiar situation OF the
work and its aptitude for resisting an attack, were
well made apparent by the natural glacis which
slopes gently away from 1t on every side, except the
rear, to distance varying from 5000 to 1900 yards
This glacs all sides strengthened by positions
for field guns and also by rned trenches; so that an
attack upon Plappeville was utterly out or the
question. The same was said OF st. Quentin, which
commands Plappevile at a distance OF 1000 yards
and at an elevation OF 20 feet
Immediately below Plappevile is deep ravine,
leading towards the heights above Amanvillers.
This part of the county is thicky wooded, while
towards Sauny the same sort OF ground Is TO be met
with. Emerging from these two ravines, by simul-
taneOus attack, the French troops, masSlng a large
force and aided at snrst by the guns of,plappeye,
could have effected their escape. The Plateau OF
ST. PIivat the weakest portion OF the German posi-
tOn, where the French masses could have deploy ed
right and left strengthening their front, would have
been at their mercy. They could then, by series
Of forced marches, have taken up position on the
Meuse, relieving VeTdun with division, II neces-
sary Otherwise their escape III any other direction
would have been OF no advantage TO them.

A DREADFUL DEATH.

An Old Man Hurled Twenty-Five Feet by n
Revolving Pulley, leaving au Arm In the
Belt.
The Toledo Blade of the 10Th says
"At o'clock yesterday afternoon dreadful
death befell an old man employed in the paint
shop OF the Toledo, Wabash, and Western Rail-
way Company.
For several years there has been among the
workmen at the paint shop of the railway COM
pany mentioned on old veteran with the brush
named David Lyons. The painter was bald and
wripkled with the hardships and joys of years,
numbering close upon seventy. Of kind and
sympathetic nature, his advanced age and
fatherly bearing the familiar title of Grandpa
from ali his fellow-workmen. Having lost his
dexterity with the brush the old man had
charge of the material, oil, ETC., and he
also assisted in mixing and grinding the
paint. The mill for this purpose is To-
Gated in the machine department. and is
run by a belt attached to one of the
main pulley shafts, which are impelled by steam,
and make one hundred and sixty revolutions
per minute. Yesterday, soon after the recess at
noon, Mr.. Lyons began grinding some paint in
this mill. flaw appearing in the coupling of
the belt running the MILL his work was inter-
rupted and he proceeded to adjust the difficulty
Being decrepit he had often been told that
younger men would assist him in any work that
was in any way hazardous; but the old man pro-
cured q ladder necessary to accomplish his pur-
pose and climbed up to the pully on the main
Shaft neglecting, unfortunately, to stop the
running belt by shifting it from the pulley.
"He had no sooner began his work than his
right arm was drawn around the pulley by the
belt. This threw the belt off the mill pulley,
when it instantly commenced winding around
the mans arm and pulley, binding them together
with great frmness. Being. thus chained,
which was done in twinkle, the old man
shrieked with agony, and as the employees
turned to look his body was drawn over and
over the shaft, and in an instant hurled upon
the shop floor twenty-five feet distant, leaving
his right arm mashed and bloody, bound to
the still revolving shaft. Mr.. Potter,
the superintendent Of the shop, and the
workmen sprapg forward to the pros
trate man, when they found that both legs
were broken and that ghastly wound had been
received in the side, breaking rib All of this
was probably done by foot-plank nearly par
allel with the shaft, which the man struck and
shattered in his rapid revolutions. Notwth-
standing the frightful fracture of his limbs, the
wrenching off hiz right arm, and the heavy fall
the old man still breathed. Medical aid was at
once sent for, and in the meantime the man was
carefully conveyed to his home, not far distant.
Consciousness returned, and the sufferer was
able to converse with his wife and children for
brief space, but death came in the course OF
an hour and ended his dreadful suffering"

from the Hotel Schombardt to the palace to
drive down to Cassel, this circumstance being
of almost daily-nay, hourly-occurrence.
Quite as usual, had seen the Emperor in the
afternoon walking with General Castelnau,
nothing indicating that separation from
the Empress was so near at hand. But
when the carriages, at the appointed
hour, sis P. NJ, were Ia readiness at the
palace, the Empress with another lady, both of
them closely yelled and in plain black dress
and with two gentlemen in attendance entered
them, the coaehmen receiving orders to drive to
the station in Cassel About a hundred yards
from this place they were stopped and ordered
back. The Empress and her attendants walked
into the station and left by the train which
started for Hanover at GOA P. NJ. 1t must be
remarked that an hour before her departure
Bazaine had arrived at Wilhelmshohe, and that
there is no doubt of an interview having been
held between the Marshal and the Empress.
The Empress reached Chislehurst on her
return from the continent on the 9th instant.
An English paper says that she came up to town
by the night mail from Dover, due at Charlng
Gross at P. NJ. Notwithstanding the authori-

NOVEL ELECTION BET.
Whe cling a Sack of Flour from Wall street,
New York, to PeeixsixilI,


The New York Post of last evening says:-
John r. Spaulding, Custom House gauger,
is an earnest Republican, and before the elec-
tion became engaged in a discussion with a
friend at Peekskill concerning the rival quail
ties of Woodford and Hoffman, aud their re-
spective chances of success. Spaulding was
confident that Woodford would be the next Gov
ernor of lhis State. His friend was equally cer-
tain that Hoffman would be reelected, aud,each
was willing to back his opinion. At last a bet
was agreed on, by which 1t was determined that
the loser should wheel one hundred pounds of
buckwheat flour from New York to Peekskill,
or from Peekskill to New York, as the case
might be. Election day came and went Hoff-
man was re- elected, and Spauldiug lost his bet.
Accordingly, at 8 o'clock this morning he ap-
peared in front of the Custom House in Wall
street. clad in white miller's suit, accompanied
by few friends. The wheelbarrow and sack of
wheat, which had been in the surveyors Office of
the Custom House all night, was brought out,
and Spaulding set off on his journey.
light wagon, decorated with Ameri-
can flags, and containing refreshments,
preceded the amateur miller on his march along
Broadway. Before long the unusual spectacle
had attracted the attention of the passers-oy,
and large crowd occupied neatly the whole
breadth of the street, following him as far as
Union Square. Spaulding then turned down
Fomt teenth street and wheeled his barrow up
Seventh avenue. He has four days to complete
his journey in, and expects to arrive in Peeks-
XII II on Wednesday night.
