BARON GEROLT.
Alleged Causes OF his Retirement from
Washington.
A Washington dispatch to the New Yor

A Washington dispatch to the New York
Tribune says:
The causes which led TO the removal of the
most popular German minister who ever set
foot In Washington have just been developed
here, to the no small discredlt OF one OF tne
most trusted representatives of the Grant ad'
mInistraton.
Baron Gerolt came to this country in 1876,
and from that time to his removal, especially
through the rebellion, gave the most suostan-
tial evidences of bis own friendship, as we'll ae
that OF the country which he represented, for
the American people. In the midst OF the Fran
co-German war, the Baron, becoming COL con,
vlnced that the administration was hard
ly observing It's neutral obligations With
reference to the sale OF military stores
to the belligerents, wrote friendly
note to Bancroft Davis, observing that,
according TO his Information, the Frencn
were allowed 100 much facility 10 the pur-
chase of arms in this country. Davis wrote q
most cruel and insulting reply thereto, Wnlca
the Baron, Immediately on It's reception, look
to Secretary Fish, and asked what 1t meant.
The secretary, with blaDdness which never
deserts him. assured the Baron that he need
nav no attention to the Insulting misslve, and
that Davis, acting merely ID clerical capa'
oIty. was beneath the dignity of his Just In.
dignatIon. Thus conciliated, the Baron paid
no further attention TO tne matter. a very
short time after this uupleasautneas Baron
Gerolt received q telegram from BISMARCK,
raprImandIpg him for his conduct towards
American officials at Washington, and more
esneeially for his nnfrleDdness to the Grant
administration. Without even replying TO
This Telegram or even Offering an explanation
| TO IL. the Baron at once rendered hls resigna'
tIon, which was speedily accepted. When ne
returned to Berlin, circumstances oc'
curred which led him 10 ask an explsn'
alton fur the censure given him oy BIS
marck. The latter then put the Baron lnto
possesslon of various communications maze
10 himself by Minister Bancroft, wherein the
Baron was declared to be hostile to Grants ad'
minjstraior. and on unftiendly terms with

THE ALABAMA DELUGE.
Terrible Effects on the Railroads and
the Crops.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser. of Tues
day, says: 80
The rainfall during the ,forty-eight hours
beginning last Thursday and terminating Fri
day night exceeded eleven inches-the heavi-
many years. The wharf on the Alabama at
this place is said to be washed away, and the
rapid waters have made such inroads on the
banks OF the river that, in order 10 avoid the
UNDERMINING OF the track, the Mobile and
montgomery Railroad Company contemplate
moving the track of their road, near the foot
OF Commerce street. several feet further In.
Such food at this particular season is almost.
II not altogether, unprecedented In the history
Of the State. Al
The Alabama River was higher YESTERDAY
and last Sunday than It has been known to be
before at any, time since the war. The bot
toms, embracing the most productive lands
IN the State, are everywhere overfowed, and
the damage to the crops cannot but be i'm
mense. This river and its tributaries wash
not less than two thousand miles Of shore,
and If the overfowed lands average twenty
acres to the mile. the loss resulting from this
overflow cannot fall far short of two millions
Of dollars. In times like these 80 great q
loss is Q terrible calamity, and one cal
ence II not actual suffering among the
planters, upon whom 1t directly falls.
The great bend opposite this city, which q
few days ago was covered with the most luxu.
RANT and promising crops In Autauga County,
is now nothing but wide waste Of rushing
water, unrelieved save by an occasional tree
top which peeps out from the muddy torrent.
The bed Of the South and North Road along
the loWlands contiguous to the river Is COM
pletely submerged. In several places the
track has been completely washed away, and
1t will be several days before it can be so re-
paired as to admit OF the passage of the trains.
We have had no Northern malls since last Fri
day, and 1t will 90 yet several days before they
can get through.
Dispatches reach us from Wetumpka that
the Coosa, Tallapoose, Alabama and other
small streams In that neIghborhood are about
to overflow that historical old town. At last
accounts tile Coosa Hall had been reached, q
distance Of eighty yards from the river, but
the waters were supposed to be recedlng at
sundown. At that lime the water was only
four feet beneath the high old bridge that con-
meets East and West Wetumpka.
A large planter In EImore County says that
the overflow In the bend opposite this city
will destroy between ten and fourteen thons-
and bushels OF corn between here and We
tumpks, and that the damage to the crops
down the river cannot now be estimated, but
that 1t win be very heavy.
The track of the Selma, Rome and Dalton
Railroad was washed away in several places
by the late rains, and the splendid new bridge
across the Coosa Rlver is seriously threatened
by the floods.
Not single bale of cotton was received in
this city yesterday, the most remarkable event
of the year. No cotton was shipped, because,
on account Of the wash.ups, there were no re-
liable means Of shipment.

GOSSIP ABOUT TEE PAPA0K:

There Is a good deal of talk now In the
newspapers about Bismarck and his eproposed
interference in the election Of g new Pope
after the demise of Plus TX. On the other
hand 1t is stated as of s'unquestiouable trust
worthinessD that Plus TX issued bull two
years ago conferrlng on the cardinals living
at the Vatican the right to elect bis successor
at any time, and that they have already done

official German papers say, Is q friend of the
Jesuils and bitter enemy OF the new German
Empire. The whole story, however, amounts.

THANKSGIVING.
BY BELLA FRENCH.

o you, in homes of wealth and ease,
With naught Of care
Where music floats upon the breeze,
And perfumes rare
From sweet exotic flowers rise;
Where mellowrd light
From corored curtains greeLs your eyes
An Eden quite.
You, who have everything to love
And much TO bless
Your voices, sure should rise above
In thankfuIness. ;
And you, whose path is not as sweet
With perfumed floW'rs-
Who tread on thorns with bleeding feet
Through weary hours;
Within whose homes dwell want and cold,
And naught OF cheer;
Whose misery may not be told
To mortal ear
1t is by you the angels walt
With sweet caress,
To fill your spirits, soon or late,
With thankfulness.
o, who in all this peaceful land
Such sorrow wears,
That he sees not the Fathers hand
Mid all his cares?- p"
Who, be he great or all unknown,
Will turn away
From worship at the Makers throne
Thanksgiving Day?
o, who so poor he cenn0t see
Some thing to bless
Some thing Tor which to bend the knee
In thankfulness
