STORIES OF BISMARCK.
Episodes In the Life OF the Iron Chan.
cellOr.

From the London News.
1 haze received an advance copy Of the third
volume Of H. V. sybel's History Of the Ger
man Empire" which will be published early in
January In common with the volumes already
before the public it contains a number Of cpl
sodes and anecdotes hitherto not generally
known. Probably the most interesting chap
ters refer to the relations between Prince Bis
marck and Count Rechberg, then Prussian and
Austrian ambassadors respectively at the Ger
man FrankforD diet. Prince Bismarck, (then
Herr Won Bismarck Schonhaussen) soon found
out that Count Rechberg was hot-tempered
and passionate. but in the main honorable and
good-natuIed Count Rechberg, on his side,
cordially disliked Prussia and its astute repre-
sentative, but did his best, all the same, to
keep on amicable terms with his colleague.
Both officially and socially there was, however,
plenty of friction between the two. On one
occasion things came to such pitch that
Count Rechberg, entirely losing his self-con-
friends shall wait on you in the morning.
why all this unnecessary delay?" Herr Won
Bismarck coolly replied: ''in all probability
you have pair Of pistols handy. Let us settle
the matter immediately. While you get the
things ready shall write a report about the
whole transaction, which, in case am killed, 1
request you to forward TO Berlin"
Both set about their work. When Bismarck
had finished he handed the sheet to Count
Rechberg, requesting him to examine the same.
Rechberg's passion had in the meantime given
way to sober reflection. After having perused
the report he said: "What you say here is quite
correct; but is it really worth while to fight
duel for such a reason?" THAT is exactly my
opinion" was Bismarcks answer, and the
matter ended
One day Count Rechberg called on the Prus-
sian ambassador to show him dispatch from
his government instructing the count to vote
with Prussia at the next meeting of the Ger
man diet Bismarck read the document and
returned it to the count saying: This is evil
IDENTIFY a mistake. Rechberg in his turn looked
at the sheet and changed color. Instead of the
official letter he had by mistake handed to Bis
marck the secret instructions he had received
concurrently calling upon him while openly
countenancing Prussia to use his utmost en-
deavors to cause the other German states to
vote against the measure. Here was Prince
Bismarck's opportunity. How he used it the
sequel will show. For moment both states
men looked at one another in silence. Then
Bismarck said: Don't be upset. You never
intended giving me the letter. Ergo, you never
gave it to me; ergo, l know nothing about the
whole matter" As matter of fact Bismarck
never reported the letter to Berlin. But he
gained Count Rechberg's confidence, in his
eyes an important conquest.

A Fraudulent Vanderbilt.

The reported engagement of Mr.. George
Vanderbilt of New York to Miss Johnstone of
South Carolina, followed by Mr.. yanderbilts
denial, suggests an explanation of the whole
affair from an Atlanta correspondent of the
New York World, who says: One year ago there
appeared in Atlanta Mr.. George III. Vanderbilt,
vino was received in several rich families here
on the strength of an acquaintance made the
year before in White sulphur Springs, Va.
These people spoke very warmly of their friend,
MIR. Vanderbilt, and were soon the envy of the
neglected bon ton. Mr.. Vanderbilt passed as
widower, spoke feelingly of the dear one In the
grave, was full of Vanderbilt gossip and spent
money with lavish hand. He looked at choice
tracts of land, bargained for elegant resi-
dence and lot and proposed to build such a
mansion as would lay all the others in the
shade. He was caught in questionable trans
actions. however, and skipped He played the
same role in other cities. 1t is possible that
this impostOr is the man who has set afioat the
story OF an engagement with Miss tombstone.
