publication Count Arnm made himself ''mpossiblen y
as they say in Berlin, once and forever For though
he has succeeded in terribly annoying ths great Chan
ceor, yet he shows US the man who was generally
supposed to be made entirely OF "bood and iron in
quite different character from what his admirers have
generally painted him.
BISMARCK
appears in the correspondence published in this pam
phlot subject to all the vanties and fears that
characterize weaker, ordinary mortals fearfuy jeal-
Gus OF his rival whom he is determined to annoy and
bully until he makes him submit.
THE PAMPHLET
The best yet published here of the pamphlet
appears in the Standard whose Berlin correspondent
is intimate with the Arnimists and who has had copy
OF the brochure for perusaL He says
AT this moment the book is not to be had for love
money IN all Berlin. The publication was not
nounced in the usual way and few copies only were
sent through the post by way Of experiment TO test
the powers OF endurance possessed by the police aud
these few copies at snapped up BY the rea-
tIves and intimate friends Of the Count himself Since
then the demand has been enormous and the hands OF
the booksellers ache with the toll Of transcribng
orders for the next batch. The preface opens
the charge OF indscretion or want Of
patriotism in giving to the world details which had
hitherto been kept in the background, but the under
standing of which is in the opinion Of the writer,

judgment upon the merits of the The publica-

might not only be attended with disagreeabe conse-
quences to the Count hmself but be preudical even

over, and any act of mprudcnce the part OF Arnm
himself of his friends might influence the
decision Of the Supreme Court Of Justice,
whose judgment was Still pending On the
other hand II argued that view of what
may be termed the present split or what is very
to split between Prince Bismarck ana his new friends

signs Of leaning on the part OF the former TO his old
friends the conservatives the appearance OF this book
might be snguary ill-timed and in fact nip this
version in the bud To the first OF these objections IL
is replied that the sentence of the Supreme Court being
OF purely technical character, could not in any de-
gree he influenced by any act, even II imprudent
and illadvised, which might be committed by Arnm
or by his friends In the meantime, and that,
BESIDES in all probability the sentence Of the Court
would be known and the question far set at be-

ing improbable Many quite recent facts have been ad-
duced in its favor Among other things we learn that

more affirmed that the recent onslaught made upon
that gentleman by Prince Purbus and his friends,

own Church policy as an act of folly (eine uorhenl
But admitting the probability of such a conversion on
the Princes part Count Arnms spokesman argues that
the time is gone by when such alliance could have
been desirable or even possible Having lost all for
which 1t contended in bygone times the conservative
party what remains Of IT, has only one task left for

The reasons on the other hand which initiate In

justice to Arnim himself, whose has never been
fairly stated before the public, all that portion OF the
documentary evidence which told in favor OF the accused

that nothing is published here which the prosecution
