A FALSE ALARM.

Scheme b> Which tlie Noted Chancellor
Obtained Possession ormi Heirloom.
I beard an anecdo.e last week of which
Prince Bismarck it the hero, writes a cor
respondent of the London Figaro, which
would tend to show that he docs not always
gain his ends by the blunt eutiqioken
means he so often adopts. When the Ger
man army wus hesitging Pans seventeen
years ago Prince Bi.-marck, like the Em
peror anil the Crown Prince, of course re
sided in Versailles, and the house he,oeco-
pied is still pointed out to curiou's'vis-
ltors, although its owner has so altered Hu
exterior appearance (it is said front patri
otic motives) that Prince Bismarck fitm-
bcU_ would probnbl; fail to recognize it
again. During his forced occupancy of
the dwelling Prince Bismarck i. reported
to have several times come in collision
with its patriotic proprietor. When the
time came for tho headquarters to leave
Versailles, Prince Bismarck not unnatn-
rally wished to take with him as a his
torical relic tlie rosewood writing table on
which he had during nis accnpancy of the
house signed so many momentous dec/ees
and made so much history. So he sentfor
the proprietor and expressed his wish to
purchase tlie table, which was a very ordi
nary and inexpensive one, at any reasona
ble price which might be named. But,
not much to tho Prince’s surprise, proba
bly, the proprietor refused to part with the
Diece of furniture in question. Nor did
Bismarck attempt to argue with the man.
lie merely said, “Very well,” and let him
go. But that same night two German sol
diers of the engineering corps, who chanced
to be skilled cabinet makers, were brought
to the Chancellor’s house, and within
twenty-four hours they hail made a table
so_ like the original one which the Prince
wished to take with him that no merely
superficial glance would have disclosed any
difference between the two. The sequel
can he guessed. When Prince Bismarck’s
baggage left Versailles the “simon pure”
table, if I may so term it, wns safely
packed away with his effects, w hile the one
left in the embrasure of the bow window of
the room the Chancellor had so long occu
pied was the imitation on* that had been
made by bis order*. Whether tlie propri
etor of the house detected the fact of thn
substitution 1 cannot say. hut it is certain
that the historical table lie refused to sell
to the Chancellor is now at Varzin, where
Jt has be>n duly scheduled among the
items that are to be banded down in the.
Bismarck iamily as heirlooms.
Went With Ills State.
From the leCrango Reporter.
One of the most remarkable instances of
Confederate patriotism on record ia fur
nished by Troup county. Mr. R. H.
Strong, Sr., known as “Uncle Bobbie,” now
gone to heaven, was bitterly opposed to se
cession nnd was very outspoken in that
nnnoailion. So g a; them WmS aClinuie
to Veep Georgia in the Union, he labored
with might and main to hold her to her
allegiance. The momrnt, however, that
the State severed the tic, he was equally
ardent in liis efforts to sustain her act.
Uncle Bobbie had three sons of his own
able to bear arms. These he sent ta the
fnn;t. Four orphan hoys, three of whom
he had raised, resided under his roof.
Three he also gave to the
Confederacy. As if this were not enough
to show that the family were solid for the
■ of the South, Ion two sons-in-law
tkewise enlisted in the army. Hq-in all,

From the Rei>1*vtlle Enterprise.
it will be remctnbcreil th t at the last
October court a man named Davis was
tried for bigamy, convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary, lie was also charged
with the murder of wife No. 1, as he had
been seen with a -tratige woman, who sud-
dcsly dUALpeaicd, Ir.iving no trace. He
was not tried for murder, however, as at
that time there was no evidence, after a
long and diligent search for the n mains.
At nightfall, Tuesday, it wns reported
here that Mr. Dan Partin had, that day,
or the day before, discovered what were
supposed to bo the remain* of the unfortu
nate woman. Beside a pine log • n a hill
not far from the house where Davis had
lived with wife No. 2, he found partly
burnc-d human bone*, some of wliieh he
recognized as part* of a human skull, a
breastpin, some hair-pin.i. aud some other
articles usaally po**- ►■•d by women. Un
der the tshea, somehow protected from the
fire, was found a pie, c ol cloth, i uck ss a
woman’s dress might lie made of.
We have not learned whether or not the
coroner has been notified.
