to Allow Him to Seat Oat
<Mk4 Mew> Over His Private Wire.
During the Franco-German war, from
Oct 18, 1870, to March 1, 1871, I was
attached to the hradquarters of the
crown prince, who occupied an unas
suming little villa called Les Ombragoe,
in an outakirt of Versailles, his august
father reading throughout the invest
ment and siege of Puis in the prefecture I
of the whilom "royal burgh,’* and
Count Bismarck, with his staff of coqn*
cliars add secnetariea, in a detached
house of the Rue de Provence. I often
met the chancellor out of doors, walk
ing or riding, during that tong and bit
ter whiter, but sedulously refrained
from soliciting audiences, being well
aware that the visits of a war corre
spondent, who had everything to ask
and nothing to teU, could not possibly
be welcome to so desperately overwork
ed a statesman aa Bismarck.
By what means I need not explain in
this place, I had been made acquainted
with the precise terms of the capitula
tion of Puis at an early hour of the,
morning after the conclusion of the
armistice, and had, moreover, good rea
son to believe that the conditions of the
surrender had not been communicated
£ any other correspondent ot an Eng
b er even a German newspaper at
headquarters. Having obtained the su
premely important item of news, what
was Ito do with it? Unless it oould be
forthwith transmitted to The Daily Tel
egraph office by telegraph, my chances
of forestalling my fellow correspondents
would be annihilated, and thus was no
wire at my disposal—or, for that mat
ter, attest ot «ay foreign journalist—
within the vast radius of the lines of
investment.
The situation appeared an utterly
hopeless one, the hap
piest of "happy thoughts" flashed
through my rated. Rerhapathe all pow
erful chancellor, newly created > prince
of the young German empire, would*
authorize the transmission to London
of my dispatch oyer his own official
wire, by means el which he was "en
rapport’’ with every European capital
except beleaguered Paris. There waa no
time to lose. Before 8 a. m. I had taken
down the articles of capitulation from
the lipa of my informant, within half
an hour I had copied them out, "large,
bold and handsome," on two pages of
foolscap and had made myself presenta
ble.
At 9 o’clock I presented myself at the
street door of the boose to the Rue de
Provence and sent up my card to Coun
cilor Lothar Buoher, vfiph a penciled
request that he would alfciwme to speak,
to him in private. Almost immediately
he came down to the waiting room on
the ground floor, into Which I had been
shown, and asked me what he oould do
forme. "Can you procure me a five
minutes’ audience of the prince?" I re
plied. "I don’t know," waa the rejoin
der, "but I’il try. The chancellor is ex
tremely busy, but perhspekß’ll toe yon
if you can assure ma that the matter is
really urgent." I declared that for me
it could not possibly be more so, where
upon Bucher left me—l confess, in a
fever of anxiety—and was absent for
about a quarter of an hour, at the ex
piration of which he reappeared and
beckoned to me to follow him up stairs.
In an ex-boudoir on the first floor
converted into a sort at. office I found
the chancellor awaiting me. After the
briefest of greetings he said, "Pray, tell
-me what you want in the fewest possi
'Me words, for I have not a moment to
lose." I produced my dispatch, handed
it to him and asked him if it was sub
stantially carsect
After looking through it he answered:
"Yes, it is. I don’t know how you got
your information, and I don’t intend to
ask, but these are the terms on which
Paris surrenders. What then?" When
' I besought his permission to forward
the message over his wire, he laughed
rather grimly, saying, "You must be
mad to ask Booh a thing!*’
I urged upon him that the tension of
public feeling in England with respect
to the fate of Paris was very painful
many people's sympathy being tempo
rarily averted from Germany by harrow
ing accounts of the sufferings undergone
by the population of the French capi
tal. "That tension would be considera
bly relieved, sir,” I replied, "by the
knowledge that the siege of Paris is
come to an end and that the victors
have accorded merciful terms to the
vanquished." Prince Bismarck held out
against my importunity for about a
couple of minutes, but he yielded at
last, only stipulating that I should
efface my name'at the end of the dis
patch.
"On no account can I allow you to
sign a message sent over my wire. If
your people in London do not believe it
to be authentic when it reaches them,
that is their affair. But it must go un
signed or not at all” It did go unsign
ed; it was accepted as authentic, and
its publication that very afternoon in a
special edition of The Daily Telegraph
proved to be one of the greatest journal
istic coups effected by any London
newspaper during the Franco-German
war.—Loudon Telegraph.
B* Maoie.
A Glasgow paper thus analyses the
music of the bagpipe: "Big flies on
window, 72 per eent ; cats on midnight
tiles, 11% per cent; voices at infant
puppies, « per eent; grunting hungry
pigs in the morning, 5% per cent;
steam whistles, 8 per cent; chant of
cricket, 2 per cent."
In Japan every useful soecmpllsh
ment taught children is the use of both
hands in writing and other work; hence
there are no right or lefthanded peo
ple, as a rule, but both hands are used
indiscriminately.

One of the fosUona which, at first sight, I
wm difficult to account for ia that par- I
ticular weekMM which rausra an endless I
number of people to change their smt-
MtuM. But a little thought will give th* I;
alow to the rapidly increaalng army who I
go through the world labeled in a form 1 1
differing from the original advertisement I
Sf their known male ancestors. It fit
strange, but nevertheless a true fact, that
the undoubted tendency ot aristocratic
families Is to become extinct, or to end in
heiresses. There is no legitimate male
descendant of any king of England who
sat on the throne before the reign of
George I.
Os the 26 barons who set their hands to
Magna Chart* not a single male descend
ant remains. There is not a single Eng
lish barony by writ (heritable by or
through females) now held by a male of
the family in which it was originally
created. There are only about 800 noble
or gentle families now holding the same
land in male succession which their male
ancestors held even aa recently as the reign
of King Henry VIL There is scarcely an
English pedigree without a break. It ia
doubtful if there are 50 authentic mate
pedigrees today In England which can be
taken back to the conquest.
Thus the necessity of changing one’s
name argued a connection with and de
scent from an ancient family—ergo, it was
an aristocratic thing to change one’s name
or take a double name. After that of
course came the deluge of such changes.
At a much later date came the «lass whet
with no inherited obligation to do so,
were glad enough to perpetuate by a
change of surname or by the adoption of
a double surname the fact cd their descent
in a female line from an ancient house.
At a still later date, probably within the
last 60 yean, has arisen yet another ciaas,
a typical product of the days we live in,
who for mere purposes of distinction, one
might say from the necessity of distinc
tion, have been glad to seise any plausible
excuse to either make a complete change
or more often to hyphen on some other
name in the hope that the combination
will be more or less distinctive. While
such names aa Plantagenet, Maltraven,
Mauleverer, Conyers, Fitzalan, De Bohun,
i etc., have become extinct, the names ot
Smith, Brown, Jones and Bobinaon still
increase and multiply as the sand upon
the seashore. And with this ghastly mul
, indication and duplication, small wonder
that distinction becomes advantageous.
It seems to be a very general idea that a
man may change his name, as, how and
when he likes, seeking the approval and
authorization of no one save himself.
Nearly every solicitor will advise you to
this effect, because the textbooks he crams
from and relies upon do not teach him to
the contrary. This idea, unfortunately,
is rapidly spreading and to a great extent
dates from the following dictum of a
judge, who remarked from the bench, "I
know of no law to prevent any man chang
ing his name as often as he likes, provided
that it is not done for the purposes of
fraud." This is not the only case in
which a judge has gone wrong by endeav-
I oring to apply the rules of law court law
and jurisdiction to matters of "honor,"
which are in the sole prerogative of the
crown and which are within the jurisdic
tion of the earl marshal’s court.—Genea
logical Magazine.
Life on a Tnuaport.
You have no idea of what a transport is,
and especially one that is overcrowded. It
is really a hell on earth, or rather on wa
ter I Thank heaven, the weather has been
fine, and I have slept on deck every night,
not even going below when it rained. I
never felt better in my life and have oome
to the conclusion that I can stand any
thing.
As I have not been at all seasick, X vol
unteered for the stable police, who have
to clean up below decks where the horses
are. It you oould put all the terrible
■malls in the world together, you would
get some idea of what it is. We can only
stand it for about half an hour at a time
and then have to take a spell on dock to
recover. If we had a storm, I am afraid
it would go hard with some of the lads, as
a good many are pretty seariok now.
The food is fierce, and we only have con
densed steam to drink, which is almost
hot, but still I seem to thrive upon it.
Every morning we get up at 5 and form a
line in dur birthday suits and have a great
hose played on us. Then we have break
fast, and after that comes target practice
at boxes, over the stern. We were on fire
three times in two days and only had hard
tack and rotten coffee to eat and a little
dirty water to drink.—Harper’s Weekly.
Btomarek’s Head.
Some accurate particulars as to the form
and measurement erf Prince Bismarck’s
head have been contributed by Herr Fried
rich H. Kranz, the present head of the old
Frankfort firm of hatmakers, Martin! A
Co., to the Hamburger Nachriohten. As
the Bismarck family objected to a cast of
his head being taken after death, the trade
statistics supplied by Hen Kranz may be
valuable to future bkgnpben and physi
ologists. Fifty years ago, according to
the flsst letxwd of the Martini Kopfmaes
maehtae, Bhaaarok’s head had a width at
59M centimeters. During the later year*
ofhfe ttfo Mn head had swollen to Um
width of W cantKnotersi
His skull was of a peculiar formation,
the ‘‘bpaspe*’ being considerably larger on
the right side than en the left. Wtihyu

said that the old Adam in him was in
clined to republicanian, he »em allowed ‘
these early inclinations toward the Ml to
influenee hi* reaolnte determination to up
hold the eontaary tote in politics, and the
physical development of the tight side of
his skull may have been a trophy of the
victory of his will over his inclinations.—

THE ENGLISH NOT PROFANE,
llttd lAikffttaffa In iMdoa Outaldo I
tdttle rough or rude language is nae<l
by the English. They even fight with
out swearing end get very drunk and
noisy without employing strong lan
guage. They love to chaff and guy each
other, and the crowds and tbs street
people who drive bones and peddle t
goods and hang about the corner* are a
great deal wittier than most of us give
them ciedit tor being, but they seldom
resort to bad language 1 never heard
much of it until I went to Petticoat
lane, and I know a woman who has
lived here two years and been oonstant
lyabout town who tells me that in that
time she has only heard one oath from
an Englishman’s lips. The worst word
I heard in Petticoat lane was "bloody.”
That, however, is the wont word I
could have beard—in English opinion
it is the foulest word there is. I have
only heard one man use it and he did
not speak it He was very angry, and
he spelled it.
I am telling you this because I know
that at home in America we associate
it with the English and put it in Eng
lishmen’s mouths in our anecdotes, aa
if it were a matter of course that it
should be used to give a local color to
an English story. Americans oome here
and make use of the word for the comic
value that they attach to it, and yet I
assure my readers that if they tried to
think of any really disgusting term they
had ever heard and made use of instead
they oould not more startle or shock
these English ears. - «
English sailors have brought the
word "bloody" to our shores sailors
and prizefighters and stablemen, and
only such persons cling to It here.
What we consider a very much fouler
word has. a vastly wider circulation,
but is not considered as bad as
"bloody." All this is very strange and
requires a native to explain it, especial
ly as "bloody" is merely the contrac
tion of the oath “by our Lady," which
was more or less commonly used in the
ancient days when this was a Roman
Catholic country.
The people who try to swear without
swearing—who in our country say
"bully chee” and "by cripss,” all use
the word "blooming" over here. “X
oan’t very bloomin well make you buy
thia bloomin thing, but I’ll ’ave a
bloomin try at it," is what I heard a
street fakir say to a crowd the other
day. There is no harm in that at all,
and it is much more typically English
than the word "bloody," bmjdes being
decent
It Is funny what mistakes nations
make about one another. Over here the
very smart thing in reporting the speech
of us Americans is to make us all and
always call ourselves "Amurrioons." It
may be true of us. This whole nation
believes it But I never heard an Amer
ican so pronounce the name of our coun
try, and yet I’ve got a quick linguistic
ea£, which is a thing the English utter
ly lack.—Julian Ralph in Providenoe

A R«lly Histeriaal X«v«L
To produce a so called historical novel
has been attempted by many, but with
indifferent success by the majority, so
for as history is concerned. Alike the
best known and the most successful
authors of this class are Soott Kings
ley and Lytton. In grouping books of
this type in an order of merit based on
their historical worth, it cannot be de
nied that "The Last of the Barons’*
should be awarded the first place, with
"Henry Esmond” and "Herewaxd the
Wake" bracketed aa second. Victor
Hugo’s "L’Historted’un Crime," which
has been called "the apotheosis of the
special conespondent," is a notable ex
ample of a contemporary history writ
