Literary Notes.
Sidney Whitman, who has written
book called German Memories"
recently published by Heinemann, of
London, probably knew Bismarck and
Won Moltke as we'll as any man not
in official life. Mr.. Whitman was long
valued correspondent of a great
New York newspaper and when Bis
marck died it was he who sent to

baron tells what Madame de REM
usat intimated long ago, that Napo-
leon III. was the son of Napoleon /.
and not of the King of Holland.

factor in his own downfall. His the
DRY of the necessity of united ma
tionalities in Europe resulted in a
united Italy and a united Germany.
Italy, with the inevitable ingratitude
which follows the bestowal of a gift
or benefaction, in the case of nations
as well as individuals, deserted him
in his hour of trial, while Germany.
existing entirely through his instru-
mentality, overwhelmed him and his
empire in 1870. At last Italy again
showed her ungrateful temper toward
France by becoming member of the
Triple Alliance.
