PRINCE BISMARCK As -DlMnX,

The Paris correspondent OF the London
Daily NeaoS relates the following anee-
dOte:
"a Saxon military band gave private
performance before Prince Bismarck, few
weeks ago, in Berlin, just prior to his de-
parture for Kissingen, and one OF its MEM
bers has furnished Dresden paper with an
account of their reception by him. The
Prince showed them over his house, and
pOiHting 10 a desk in the Princess room,
tOld them his wife, as they might observe,
kept the cash. He had frUm the beginning
intrusted her with the charge OF his money
affairs, while he attended 70 politics, and
he would advise every married man to do
the same, taking no more than his wife
gave him. Drawing table out Of q cor
ner, he said: AT this table NJ. Thiers,
NJ. Favre and played dummy game
at whist. That dummy was won partly
owing to you SaxOns, for If all had not
been so brave | should have held no trumps
in my hand. When we began to negotiate,
the gentlemen would not understand my
French because l demanded too much.
Thereupon i spoke German to them, and
that they would not at first properly under
stand; but at last we agreed. They con-
ceded everything; and when they had signed
their names to it, l again spoke French
with them. Had we been united two hun
dred years ago We need not have been tyr
annized over by the French; but now,
thank God, we are united, and l hope We
shall remain so. Ifthey once more require
it, we shall again give them a fall. Al
luding TO the war Of 1866, the Prince said
IN had always respected the Saxons, for
they, above all, had the courage to stand
firm against the PrJIssians when all the
others had lost their heads. you must
see he sa d, shat it could not be helped.
We were forced to find out which was the

A ROMANCE OF THE ORANGk
GROVES

The Neav Orleans Times tells a very in
tereSting but pathetic story Of the life Of an
orange planter named Landman. Thirty
wears ago he came into possession, as
sluaiter. of the Island of ChenieTe on the
Gulf coast. He was at that time very
Young and full OF enterprise. BY hard
labor, year after year, he succeeded an
raising one of the largest aud finest orange
orchards IN Louisiana, although he worked
alone for wears. After time he married
and took his wife to the island, and for
years they enjoyed one Of the happiest OF
homes. Children were born to them, and
their work was remuneTative, so
that they laid up handsome sum. Then
sickness came, and, one by one, ali
the family died until the father was left
alone arain. BrOOding upon his troubles,
he fancied that the spirits Of tine dead were
about him, and soon he became an ardent
believer in Spiritualism. At this point,
some greedy land speculatOrS discovered
that he had no valid title TO his land, and
set about in the courts to dispOSsess the old
man of his island home. He would not
retain counsel. but relied upon the spirits
to help him manage his case. OF course
there could be but one issue to the ease.
There was practically no defense at all.
His spirit friends did not help him. He
lost his home where he had been living for
thirty years, and where his wife and chill
dren were buried. When the judge all
nounced his finding and decree the poor old
man arose in court, and his sole reply was:
'.PleaSe your Honor, there is no redress for
me in earthly courts; therefore appeal
my cause to a higher court of the third
heavens" This is an appeal which cannot
and will not be set aside. His cOmpensa-
tiOn will come.

HEREDITARY MANIA FOB SUI
eide

In his remarkable work, Mind and
Bodg, DIR. Maudsley gives many curious
instances of hereditary mania exhibiting
itself in various ways, but we do not re
member such a case Of hereditary mania
for suicide as that lately mentioned by the
Paris EueRenleItt. A few weeks ago some
boatlnen on the Seine discovered in the
water the body of man, whose pockets
were full of pebbles, and who appeared to
have been in the water several days. He
proved to be NJ. Jules Delmas, who was
regarded as very happy in his domestic and
other relations. A few evenings before,
be and his wife had gone out shopping on
the Boulevard BatignOller, and were on
their way home when, as though struck by
a sudden thought, Delmas said: @Oh,
look here, l have somewhere to 90, and it's
a long way, so there is no good in your
coming with me; you can 90 home;2 and
left her. 1t grew late, still he did not re-
turn, and she became extremely anxious.
The following morning a note arrived
from him. She seized it and read: ''For-
give me, my poor Magaret. am going TO
cause you one more vexatiOn, but at all
events it will be the last. 60 to rejoin
my father and mother" The father was
killed by throwing himself from an omni-
bus; the mother by throwing herself from a
window; the sister suiiocated herself.

THE project to construct a tunnel be-
tween France and England is assuming a
practical phase. The capitalists and engi-
neers embarked in this gigantic enterprise
demand a concession of thirty years instead
of the ninety-nine usually accorded to
railway companies, and ask for neither
guarantee nor grant. Further, they are
ready TO advance a sum of four millions
for preliminary investigations. The pro
ject in question consists in the immerglng
of duct on the English and French coasts,
and the boring of two long galleries from
each side. OF the result of the enterprise,
SAYS the Journal de CALAIS, there can be
no doubt.

A SINGULAR case of suicide recently oc-
CURED at GeSsenay, near Berne, in Swltzer-
land. The man who killed himself had,
by immense efforts, in which he was sec
onded by his wife, who was even more ava
riciOus than himself, succeeded in aIlass-
ing a considerable sum of money. Not
long ago be was informed that legacy OF
10000 francs had been left him. This piece
of fortune gave him the mortal blow, pro-
found melancholy seized him, and the lear
of death from hunger haunted him day and
night. To avoid this fearful prospect he
stealthily left his house, went into the
neighbOring forest, and hung himself to
pine branch. He left 100000 francs.

MARRYING FoR A BIsHOPRIC.

The manner in which DIR. Sumner, late
Bishop of Winchester, proved his fitness for
the EpiscOpate reminds one Of American
Civil Service requirements. After gradua-
ting at Cambridge, he was made tutor to
the young Marquis of COnyngham. While
travelling in Switzerland, the pupil fell in
love with beautiful Swiss lady who had
neither money nor rank. The watchiul
tutor informed his pupils parents of the
perils to which he was exposed. They
promised the tutor that if he would marry
the dangerous siren himself they would not
forget it. DIR. Sumner saw his opportunity,
and Miss A[aunoir speedily became Mrs.
Sumner. Lord Conyngham kept his word
DIR. Sumner was introduced to the Prince
Regent, received an appointment in his
household, was subsequently made Bishop
of Llandaff and afterwards Of Winchester.
If the lovely Swiss was not allowed to wear
a coronet she had the good fortune to share
an income of $4,000 year and the homage
paid to an ecclesiastical Lord. From this
story it may be inferred that promotion in
the English Church sometimes goes by
favor.

THE Washington correspondent OF
the Neac York Sun says that Sypher,
Patterson and Spencer are Immensely
iubilant over the success of their mis-
sion to Long Branch in company with
Attorney-General Williams. 1t is all
they wanted or asked for, they say.
However, it is quite certain that they
would have been thankful for a little
more. There is no doubt of the inte1-
ton of the circular addressed to United
States attorneys and marshals, not
withstanding the warning in 1t against
using theirpower and influence IN favor
of one political party to the disadvan-
tage of the other. The carper-baggers
know very well that they can use the
District Attorneys and Marshals as
they please.
Perhaps the most mischievous feature
of the policy adopted by the govern
nent is that it is not to those sections
alone where crimes have been most fire.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The next scheme
of the carpet-baggers is to have Southern
Convention on the first of October, 10 con-
coct an address of lies and defamation OF

excuse the military pressure which IS TO be
employed prior to the elections in Noyem-

ayers had proposed to hold at Atlanta, Ga,
but have Just changed the location to
