attribute TO it considerable importance.
They point to the length of his inter-
view with Count kalnoky, the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister,
Prince Henry VII Of Russia,
the German ambassador to Vienna
the arch duke, the emperor and others
and to the circumstance that about the
same time the Grand Duke Nicholas
had an interview with Bismarck at
Berlin. a majority of the special dis
patches from the continent to London
newspapers state the prevailing
opinion is that whatever is conceded
by Count Kahioky to Degierse was
conceded with the full concurrence
and approval of Germany.
The Neue Freie P5'esse says the prep
aration for Det;ierse's visit to Vienna
for the settlement of various questions
was negotiated through the Austrian
ambassador at st. Petersburg. Accord
ing to this account 1t was agreed that
Seryia and Montenegro should for the
present be satisfied Russia will sup
port Austria at London in the confer
ence OH the Danubian question
and at Constantinople con
corning the question of the iunc-
way; in return Austria will make no
objections to the eventual junction Of
Bulgaria and eastern Roumelia. This
.same paper hears that Degierse in his
interview with Bismarck ut Varsein,
touched upon the entry of Russia into
the Austro-German alliance but
not with refusal. While
DeGreise was mt Vienna, he had an
Interview with the president of the
Russian Church there, who passes for
one of the best informed men regard
ing the pauslav agitation, and is sup
posed to have heard his views and not
neglected TO give him 3 his
official views on the agita-
ton with tie view of correcting
any illusions that the panslayists may
cherish. Not single journal sue
ceeded IN Interviewing Degreise while
he WAS in Vienna. Two DAYS before
his arriva! messenger from 81. Peters
burg brought detailed instructions to
him. The Standard sums up the
effect OF the visit OF Degriese to Wen
ma, the most important point of which
Is that the porte is granted a respite.

A day Or two ago, says Boston dis.
patch, an elderly man, holding promi-
nent financial position, called on a de.
tective here and said that he had friend
who was in serious trouble, and asked
the detective to advise with him, An
appointment was made, but a few min.
utes afterward the man returned and
nervously confessed, II am the friend" !"
Then he told the circumstances which
had kept him in hopeless despair for two
days. He was grandfather, o deacon,
and had for many years held q RESPONSE.
BILE position in the business community,
but he believed his ruin was at hand. a
few days before. while walking
toward home at the south end,
he met woman of fascinating address
who claimed to recognize him
as former acquaintance. Naturally he
escorted her home and was induced to
make brief call. He did not comprom.
ise himself very seriously while in the
house. but he was in very undignified
situation when the door opened and q
woman announced: Hattie, here il
Your husband" The old man hurriedly
got out of the house. A day or two Of
terward he received note from lawye,
requesting him to call at his office. The
lawyer was visited, and claimed to know
nothing about the case except that his

A curious anecdote about Wagner is
going the round of the Partisan 1press,
and it is given as on the authority OF
Count Beust, the late Austrian minister
in London. The eminent diplomatist
was some years ago president Of the
council in Saxony. where he received q
visit from Wagner. The maestro, owing
to the share he took in the troubles Of
1849, had been obliged to fy the king
dom, and had just taken advantage Of
the amnesty to return.
"They tell me-" said the count, "that
your friends are getting up an ovation
for you. Countermand it, it will only
lead to unpleasantness." ey.i
"WhatW asked the composer, .does
not the court of Saxony like my music ?"
"Music has nothing to do with the
matter. But, You know, you took part
in the events Of 1849."

but in the face of this unexpected re-
minder even he could find no answer
and nothing more was heard of the "ova
