BIsMARCK's BoYs.-A Berlin correspon-
dent thus deals with the scions of the Prus-
sian Prince: The two Bismarck bows are
perhaps, the most vicious of their kind, and
YET IN the towns where they have played
their most scandalous pranks they are spoken
OF with sort of admiring awe. Count Her
pert, who has been in during his winter mis-.
sion, mas introduced more than PrusSian di-
plomacy into the by no means grateful Ba-
Varlari court. There is no end to the scandals
circulated concerning that young gentleman
tne hundredth part of which would serve TO
osnlsh MIN nom self-respecting commune
ues IN any other country. His younger
brother, Count John, is too young To conceal
ms excuses, and too blunt even if he were
not; lie is OF the impression that his father
nolds Germany in fee simple, and il that
doesn't give him the right to do as he pleases
what can? SO he does as he pleases. and he
pleases to do exactly what the world In gen
eral holds TO be low and very debasing. His
hauntS are more notorious for dem0crafic
Vlclousness than aristocratic seclusion. HIS
naolIual STATE is not one TO recommend him
70 polite attention, and If the face is as Mr.
Beecher sea-chingly says in some OF his char
acterlstlc analyses, al index of mans ruling
passions, Count John would be about the
person TO bring on Brooklyn witness stand
herbert Is rather fine looking as his race 90
put John is dump, blear Of eye, scorbutic of
Vlsaee, and coarse of manner generally The
pair give the prince, their father, unceasInp
anxiety, lot only for their notorious profliga7
cy, but Tor the difficulty he finds in keepiug
mem on TENS with their army and diplo-
matte associates. He has been striving TO
marry Count Herbert to pretty countess of
Tue Protestant party, but l am told the
father refuses. The consent of the lady is
never asked In affairs OF this kind.
SAD RESULTS OF RELIGIOUS EXCITE
MENT.-One of the sad results of excessive re-
uglouS excitement was witnessed last eve
nlng on the north side. A young girl, living
on East Indiana street. near Clark, had de-
voted herself 10 religious exercises and read
ing until she had become partially demented,
and, in ferver of which she deemed pious
zeal, she concluded that TO the pure in heart
all thln2s were pure, and that therefore
Clothes were OILY hindrance and entirely
superfuous TO the righteous. Thus beIiev-
Ing, she removed every article OF raiment
rom her person and ran out on the street.
Before her absence from the house had been
noticed she had made her way to Clark street
and passed rapidly along that thoroughfare
for two or three blocks before anybody could
muster up courage enough TO stop her. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that she vas the Oh
seIved of all whom she met. At length a
man with more moral stamina than the rest
stopped her and wanted her TO go home. She
refused 10 do this, however, and also declined
10 put on shawl offered her by lady, saw
ing TO the latter that she would not be deiIed
py the touch OF garments, and that only the
sin1ul needed covering; for herself she was
clothed with righteousness, and needed no
other habiliments than those of the word
Although this may have been convincing to
