Ambassador Bernstorff ar Philadelphia
was again to-day the subject of a dis
cussion during a sitting OF the Reichstag.
In the course Of q debate on the budget
Herr Lebermann Won Sonnenberg, an
Asrarian. remarked that the spirit ex-
hibited BY the ambassador was chivalrous
but the phrasing Of his speech was mall
adroit.
Herr Adolf Greber. o member OF ,h.
Centre party, said that Count Bernstorr
was exactly IN the right when he contro-
verted the fantasies respecting German
policy. Herr Zimmermann, anu-Semite,
replied that n the ambassador had con-

4 LITERARY DANDY.
Centennial Celebration OF
Barley d1ur6rdly.

Paris, December ?.
The centennial celebration of the birth
of Jules Barley d'Aurevilly. author of
Les Diaboliques," the drastic critic, the
man of fearless independence. who for
powers of human observation may hear
comparison with Balzac, and yet who is
one of the least understood of writer's.
even among his own countrymen, gives
actuaIity TO NJ. Eugene Grele's biography
OF Frances greatest literary dandy.
on Sunday Robins bronze bust of
Barbey d'Aureviily. with upturned head,
flowing hair. and distended nOstrils sniff
ing the salt Atlantic breeze, was m
veiled at the little Norman commune Of
Saint -Sauveur-le Vicomte. his native
village.
Barley d'Aurevilly, who died in 1889,
VAS one of the most remarkable figures
i'm Paris. He was essentially a dandy i'm
eclecticism as well as in daily life. His
impassioned short stories" Les Dia-
boliques." have the intensity of Edgar
Poe aud the hum0r and "gauloiserie" OF
Gay de Maupassant, Ind in his ten solid
Volumes-"Les Euvres ct les HOmmes
du XIXme. Sieele"-one finds passages
of literary and dramatic criticism as
trenchant, more subtle and quite as
brilliant as anything written by Sainte-
Beuve.
Barley d'AurevilIy devoted three hours
a day TO his toilet and attire. His treus-
ers. usually pearl gray. with black velvet
stripes, were as carefully composed as
the "Eclogues'' or Virgil. His waistcoat
was an iridescent Iliad, his ceat was
sonnet. his cravat an epigram and his
wonderful head. with long. flowing. lux
uriant hair. tortured by curling irons
and tyrannized by pomade. was an epic
poem.
Barley d'Aurevllly wrote with heroic
pen of solid gold. He used crimson ink
and sea green paper. He scorned a blot
ting pad. and sprinkled his illegible sem
tences with clouds OF golden sand. The
impression when reading one of Barley
d'Aurevilly's letters was like that caused
by gazing upon a gorgeous sunset. He
carried silver framed Louis Nv mirror
in his pocket.
Mime. Alphonse Daudet describes his
peculiar way of drawing il forth and
scrutinizlng his own features before
launching some new pet scheme, fad or
fancy. in which he analysed and dis
sected the mentality of his hearers with
the cold steel precision of a surgeons
scalpel tempered with Neronic cruelty.
After this operation he would assume a
Byronic pose and caress his cravat. in
variably folded with consummate art
worthy of a George Brummel or of a
Comte dOrsay. Barley d'Aurevilly has
at last found some measure of his 'vin-
dication' in the bronze bust by Rodin

"My brethren and sisters, we are
