Alleged Interview with Bismarck.

NEW YORK, July 18.-In sensational ac-
count of an alleged interview with Bismarck,
at Berlin, the latter is represented as saying
that he was not going to withdraw from public
life and retire to Virgin because he was grow
ing unpopular, but because he was growing
weary of the fight of the Empire against the
Church. Bismarck added, Nothing has
amused more than the praises which | received
from the Protestant Christians of England and
America-the asses. have wished to crush
Rome that might crush Christianity If any,
thing could console me for the chagrin which I
foresee am to endure for some time to come
it'would be to witness the amusement of those
good friends of mine when they understand the
truth. But understand it they never will, they

forms us that Carlin, the man who shot Mer-

barrel of -four which he afterwards refused to

Several other instances have also transpired in
which Carlin thought he was poisoned by arti-

Want of Vitality.

If deficiency Of vital energy is not disease In
itself it is condition which lays the system open
to the attacks of all conceivable maladies. Night
and day we are surrounded more or less by delete
rious influences. No atmosphere is entirely pure,
water utterly free from injurious particles;
while in many localities both are positively UNI
wholesome. What defense has the weak, languid
system in which the vital principle is deficient or
dormant, against any of the morbid influences
which produce epidemic and other diseases ?
None whatever. There is no safety save in artifi-
have, beyond all question, vitalizing effect. II
the nervous forces of the body have been reck-
lessly expended in cxhaustinp physical or mental
labor, dissi patod In the indulgcncies of FAST
life, this powerful vegetable tonic and corrective,
will restore them. II the defective vitality is n
constitutional evil it can be remedied to great
extent by this wonderful inyigorant. AT a season
mated with the seeds of periodic fevers, it is cspe
cially desirable that the digestion should be per-
feet, the habit of body regular, the liver active
the blood pure and the nerves firm. These con.
ditions the best protection against all disor
ders, and they are conditions which the Bttters
are better adapted than any other medicinal agent
| to promote and secure. See to it, however, that
no imitation counterfeit is substituted for tho
genuine article, and let all who value health and
| have an antipathy to poison beware of the loca
bitters made from condemned drugs and Wiley
adulterated alcohol, which have sprung up like
unwhoesome fungi all over the country.

Many people, writes Sumnerist in
the Cincinnati Commercial, have a
vague idea that Mr.. Sumner is lover
of books, but only those who know him
we'll are aware of his excessive fondness
for books, or realize the extent of his
learning. The fact is, that his reading
is well nigh omniverous, and, science
excepted, his knowledge is encyclopedia.
The habits of study formed early when
as young scholar he attended the lee
lures of every distinguished professor
in Paris, i'll every department of knowl-
edge, law, philosophy, art, dclie-lettrcs,
and when, in 1889, ut Rome, he en-
braccd in his studies the whole of the
italian literature, reading from 6 O'Clock
in the morning until 5 in the afternoon,
daily, and forsaking his books only to
study works of art, under the tutclage
of the great genius, Crawford, and to
converse with the master of italian Ian
guage and history, Green, then the
American Consul at Rome-the habits
then formed have continued ever since,
and now, with his convalescence, the
old passion is renewed in all it's fervor.
Passing into his study a few days since,
L saw hundred or more volumes piled
in the hall, and learned that they were
volumes which he had recently read,
and which were to be returned to the
Congressional library; and to books
from the library must be added the
large number he receives daily from his
booksellers and from authors.
