The truth Is that, after having waited four days in
Berlin TO see the Chancellor, heard upon ffth
that he was gone to varzin. without leaving even
message for me. then returned TO Paris, much
adected by this affront, which seemed meant 10

Twice Count Arnim has appealed against impris-
onment without trial, which Is, IN fact, con-
demning man before he Is judged. The courts
answered once and twice that 'inasmuch as his
guilt was uncertain, he could not be set
at large" Yet these are the same courts that
upheld the famous Miler's cause miller Known

duel for life and death perhaps-so when his pistol
missed fire he knocked down the Count with the
but-end OF It, Well, politics is q rough game,
and those who lose the stakes must expect to get
hurt. The fight between Arnim and Bismarck was
fair fight up to a certain point 1t ceased to be
iair fight when Prince Bismarck took to legal
bubbles and countenanced charges against his
adversarys character. 1t became cruel and dis
creditable persecution when the Chancellor in

the poor lady had q domiciliary visit from the
police; both she and her son are watched.
