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. _ a /r**” , , . -r | 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.

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.

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 Journal 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.
