company with a friend, and while there his
companion became involved in q little diff
Guilty with an Omaha visitor, and drew u re-

away from him, and started home. The
owner of the weapon tried to get it away
from him, and failing TO do so, had him ar
rested. The court accepted the explanation
and the prisoner was discharged.

RiSmarck on the Epanch TInnrunpn
St. James Gazette: A rather amusing
resume of the views of Prince Bismarck
respecting the study of French and of
other languages is contained in a com
munication which M. Rendu has read to
the Academy of Moral and Political
Sciences in Paris. NJ. Rendu was one
of the delegates who were sent in 1863
to the Congress of Social Science at
Berlin, and while in the Prussian capt.
tai he unfolded the plan of Comte
Sclopis for the foundation of interna-
tional schools in which pupils were to
study the language of each country,
going from England to France, and SO
on. The suggestion was f~avorably re-
ceived in France, and when mooted to
Prince (then Count Bismarck by M.
Rendu, the Prussian premier expressed
his approval of it. When, however, M.
Rendu explained that it was proposed to
found a branch school in Berlin, and
hat a subsidy would be expected from
the Prussian government for the pur-
pose, the count aaopiieaa q different tone
"You KNOW" said he, THAT Prussia is a
country of beggars. The idea is a good
one for you people who literally reek
with gold and silver, but l have other
fish to try; and, besides, you must UNI
derstand that we are not the people
whose interest it is to encourage such
studies. We Germans are conversant
with English, particularly with the
former, almost from birth; while you
French have the audacity, as we'll as
the disadvantage, to know no language
but your own. That ignorance is the
effect and sign of the supremacy of
French before which foreigners bow
down and dispense us from the necessity
of studying other tongues; but we want
to put a stop to that audacity." In an
other conversation with M. Rendu, the
count remarked that ten years before
the date of the congress not a soul at
the French embassy in Berlin under
stood a word of German. Then the
count quoted Smelling, to the effect that
German was majestic. strong, and sonor-
Gus ms an organ. 81 am satisfied with
the national organ" added the future
chancellor of the German empire, land
the time will come when / intend to
have all my dispatches written in Ger
man, and when | shall inc NEAR to
make them understood ever in France"
The chancellor has certainly kept his
word, and the most remarkable proof OF
this is the prevalence of the study OF
German in every school and college in
France at the present day.
