A correspondent writes to English paper; I'm
enumeratng the wonderful achievements Of Its
late Paris representative, NJ. de Blowitz. The
Times omits all aIIusion TO one of his most eX-
traordinary exploits. This had reference to Lord
Rosebery's visit to Berlin, in the middle eighties,
when he mad an interview with Prince Bismarck
and the incident was the event of the day. NJ
de Blowitz claimed to be first in the field with an
account of the interview. running to nearly
couple of columns, At the outset he remarked that
he had derived his information from distinguished
German statesman who had but just arrived in
Paris from Berlin. Unfortunately for this state
ment, Lord Rosebery owing to some accident or
other had reached Berlin day late. and 1t
thus proved TO be a physical impossibIlity for the
German statesman in question to have reached
Paris in time to allow NJ. de Blowitz to telegraph
his condolences to London the day his article
appeared! But then, the great always showed
an astonishing faculty for the intelligent anticpa-
ton of events. No surprised and
amused at M de Blowitz's feat than Lord Rose
berry himself
