The scene came to pass in this wise: Eighteen montbs sgo it was propased by the advanced Liberals in the Parliament to strike out the appropriations of 818,275 for the pay of the Germsn envoy to the Papal Court.’ But Prines Bismarck would not consent to this. Heo at that time contemplated s reconciliation with the.Papacy, althongh it must nok be for- gotten that by hisownstory, heknewthen all the horrible things abort the Papacy which he told three days ago as if they were new revelations. Prince Bismarck has now altered his plans. He bas cither found that a reconciliation with Rome is impossible, or else he does not now wish it; 2nd 80 when the question of the sppropris- tion came up again three days ago he moved to strike it out. The Centrs party—the party of which the Catholics-form the " largest ‘por- tion—naturally resented this, and the fight began by Dr. Jorg, the leader of the Bavarian Catholics, making & sharp attack upon the gon- eral foreign polioy of tha Chancellor. . He began by complaining that the Chancellor had not per- mitted (e Foreign Affairs Committes to meet once this year, and that during this period he had managed affairs simply to suit himself. “His management,” szid Dr. Jorg, *‘was one of meddling and provoking interference with the affairs of other countries. In Fel it he sent & d.\xx;tch to Versailles saying that Ger- many would not wait for Franca to attack her, but wonld'attack France~ whenevér shie thought it most to ber sdvantsge. The only justifica- tion for this threat was that two French Bishops had issued oddresses fo their flocks clothed in somewhat bombastic.lan- guage. Such “.an ‘outrageous and rant intermeddling in the inner ifairs of a foreign nation might easily have given rise to a war which would probably have. become a religious conflict of the most deplorable and fearful char- acter.” Here the Liberal side of the House ‘broke out into angry cries, bat Dr. Jorg went on: “The course of the Chancallor with regard to Spain was quite a3 bad. Seizing the moment when' a.great number of our.countrymen had ‘been thrown into a state of frenzy by the con- temptible crime committed by that half-witted fellow, Knllmann, the Chancelior dropped upon us, a8 from heaven, the question of interyention in Spain. A formal intervention was really con- tomplated, and it was only by a second thought that the Chancellor contented himsalf by recog- nizing in Spain the ' dictatorship of n man _with Whose name I shsll not “sully my lips fSerrano.] 'The Chancellor, you eeo, was bound to fight the Roman Catholics here, thore, and everywhere. The Carligts are Rorman Catholics, so he must fight the Carlists. Had he permitted the FomignAfl'fi.rs Commitiee to mest, tiere would have been no such ridicu- lous recognition of the s(gnnish usurper. Count Moltke has told us that Germany is feared but notloved. Ho means that there is everywhers s well-founded hatred of Germany, on account partly.of her overgrown military force and of what is balieved to bo_her aggressive foreign policy. Tt would be wall if she conld change thig dislike into respect by pursuing a genuine policy of peace.” = ‘Bismarck in reply made the following speech. Ho was tolerably calm when ho began, bat he soon .burst out into astorm of passion,, He trambled with rage;. . ho threw himself into dramatic attitudes, and boat the air with wild gestures.

Finally the storm died, and theu & most dramaticincider? . occurred. The whole of the Centre, obeying one impulse, and led by Count Bellestrem, rose in their seats, and, with one voice, looking straight at Bismarck ard pointing 8t him with ihair fingers, nttered the single word * Pfui!™ This is the most contemptuous oxpressica which one German can uso 10 another ; it meaus more that can be written of utter disgust and con- temg; It stung Dismarck to utter madness, and hs spravg to his Zéet livid with rage. “ Mina Berrenl” bo exclaimed, **Pfui! is an expres- sion of disgust and contempt; I experience these feclings myself, but Iam toopolito to nttor them.” The tempest broke cat azain, ard continnod until another of the Catholic mem~ bers, Dr. Windthorst, got into the tribune and began, in & very quiet way, to sgain stick sharp pins into~thoe Chapcellor. *Ho bas suswered Dr. Jorg’s speech withont under- standing it,” eaid Herr Windthorst,**and tbe facts remain that his policy is driving us in- evitably into another war. The Chancellor miag‘ht also have shown more discretion in al- Inding to the case of tho unfortunate Kull- mann,—unfortunate, [ Bay, because ' every crimipal is an unfortunate person.

Kullman's act was' ehameful, but shamefnl also was the action of tho officiat prees ; and the Home and Justice Ministers not. only took no steps against such excesses, but, oo the contrary, issued a scandalous circular which we'shall find an opportanity of calling attention to in the House. I affirm thst the men really guilty of such deeda os thoso of Eullmann are not the wretched perpetrators, but tha men in high places who have imposed unjust lawa on the country, which have driven people to oxas- peration.” Prince Bismarck, still quivering with anger, again rose and eaid: The last speaker accuses me of not having used m: influence in Kissingen to moderate the (ngn of '.hz official press. 1 should like to nak him whether Le used -his influence to moderate tha tons of €ho Gltra- montane organs; from the Germania down to_the Bairisches Vateriand, whiczh were then ail bury making excuses for the deed.

Gustavo Desjarding, on Freuch national, embloms, has revived the question mootednoarly * two years ago as to the historical claims of the, White Flag. 3. Desjardins contenda that up to’ 1789 Frauco had no naticnal flag, hut that every regimont had its own standard decorated with a’ white badge, tho old Huguenot symbol which- was adopted by Heori IV. Aa for the whito cornet, which he rogarda as the ancestor of the. White Flag, it was introduced in the middle of the sixteanth century as a sign of euperior com- mand. But Chazles IX. and Henri IV. wers the only Kinga wha used it, though up to the Revoln-~ tion every Colonel was entitled to display it. The cockade varied indifferont rogiments ; butin 1767 theinfantry received a white cockade, and onder - 0 . it was extended to the cavalry. In thonavy, both blue and red werae originally hoist~ ed, then blue alone ; while Louis )&L reservec. the White Flag for his own vessel, allowing merohant vessels, however, to employ it coupled with some distinctiva badge. In the cigh- teenth century merchant vessels umiver- sally adopted the White Ilag. Tho colors of Paris, red and bluo, displayed after the fall of the Bastilla, formed, in conjunc- tion with the white cockade of the troops, tha tricolor cockade, and tho colors bacoming na- tional were tranaferred the flags. 3 Desjardins intimates that the Emigres sl Vendeans were mistaken in regerding the Whize Flag as the en- eign of Heori 1V, The Legitim'ats, however, cite the suthority of Favyn, 1620, who mentioned the white cornet a3 the national color, and Benston, 1739, who gives stil' more omphatic testimony to the samo effect. They alsa appeal to Lafayette’s *Memotrs,” which etate that ho proposed tia tricolor, instead of bluo and rod, because the lat- ter formed tho Orleans livery, aad because ba wished to nationalize tha old Fronch color, white. by combining it with the colors of tha Revolution. They urge also that, oven after tho tricolor waa edopted for the cockads, tbe White Flag wad. ‘upfarled above the King in the Assombly in1799, and was retsined by Colonels of regimanta tilt 1791; while the Assembly, in decreeng in 1740 that the tricolor sisould be adopted by the navy. distinetly recited that ths White Flag had up ta that time been tho naval ensizn. The Journal Officis!_and the Orleanist Soledl side with 3i.. Desjarding, while the Union insists that the- Comge do Chambord was under no mistake i nailing the White Flag to kis mast. The formex would fain prove the trizolor to be of alder daix than its competitor, for they maintain that tha French armg nnder Lonis™ XIV. showed three jleur-de-kys flage—red, white, and blne—grouped ‘on oaoh gide 30 a3 {0 form the tricalor, while tha Legitimists lay stress on the whiis cornet, snd oa- :he use of white for scarfs, plumes, and cack
