Why the Germans Did Not Interfere in the French Domestic Quarrel. BERLIN, April 24, 1871. Since 1869 Prince von Bismarck Schoenhausen has been in the habit, during the session of the Retch- stag, to invite the members of the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly, a few of his; fiends and high digaliaries of State to soirdes at his residence here. At these social gathertugs the gentlemen assembled around the Imperial Chan- | cellor put aside their respective oficial characters of representatives of gofernmenis and people; they meet in free and friendly converse, aud sociable in- teroourse takes the place of oficial relations, An tmmense deal of good is thus achieved, a better mutual understanding and appreciation of each other is arrived at, and Kindy feelings are engen- | dered andi promoted in a body of men on whose cordial co-operation in parliamentary life every pro- gressive measure for the welfare of a nation de pends. To one of theso so-called parilameutary soirées I had the high honor of being invited last Saturday. THE PRINCE'S RESIDENCE. At the time appointed, nine o'clock P. M., I re paired to the residence of the Bundeskanzler, Wil- helm Strasse, 76. I cannot exactly say that the exterior of the building in which the great German Statesman resides makes a very favorable impres sion; on the contrary it looks the worst of all minis- teria! resilences here, But then the Germans, if they ever will, have not as yet thrown off those par- simonious habits which distinguish them as a na- ton, and with very rare exceptions keep them from spending more money on public bulldings than they can possibly help. The mterior of the building is Bot much better. On the ground foor are the rooms of the Foreigu Office; on the first floor the apart- ments of the Imperial Chancellor. THE RECEPTION ROOM AND THOSE WHO WERE IN IT. Having ascended a flight of stairs and turning to the left I was shown into a kind of reception room, rather small, and lit up by a single chandelier de- pending irom a comparatively low ceiling. The room was very tastefully and pyettily furnished and arran_ed. red silk, the hangings were of silver gray, ¥ Curtains of the same color as the chairs, osite to that by which I had entered led Pismarck’s drawing roo; auother door to the righi led to the billiard room. At the time I entered there were only about haif a dozen gentle- men present, two of whom—Privy Councillor of Le- gation Von Keudell, and Count von Wartensieben— lonly knew. Herr von Keudell, besides being a very taleuted and able diplomatist and intimate friend of frince von Fismarck, has the reputation of being avery kind-hearted gentleman, and is untversally likea oy everybody who ever had the pleasure of meeting him. In personal appearauce he ts rather above the middle height and well jormea; his coun- tenance, pensive ana kind, has preserved @ certain youthfulness of appearance, which strangely con- trasts with lis grizzled hair apd mustacae, Count von Warteusicven is a young officer of dragoons, of tall statore, very prepossessing appearance, exceed. ingly obliging and amiable In his manners and con- Versation, ani, if Jam not much mistaken, a great favorite with the ladies, AS soon as he saw me enter he advanced, aad kindly offered to miroduce me to THE PRINCESS VON BISMARCK. Having communicated his intention to her High- ness che was pleased to leave her room and I was Presented to her. The Princess 1s of rather tall and sgraceial stature, and her countenance bears the im- press of her great mental culture and goodness of earl. 1 was also greatly struck with the extreme Simplicity manifested in the dress of her Highness, She was attirea in a simple black robe, and the oaly ornaments I noted were a few white camelias in her dark hair. Her eye is quick and lively, her voice clear and sounding, ner conversation frank and hearty. I can well believe that the Imperial Chancellor in his times of trouble, when worn out by fatigues, was only reinvigoratea by the comfort and cheer which wet him in his family. ~~ GOODNESS OF HEART. During the last war I understaud her Highness ‘Was busily engaged im ameliorating the condition of those poor families who suffered from the absence of their supporters, by private efforts, by participa- tou in the work of benevolent institutions and by forming cireles of her lady friends, whose joint labor waa devoted to the aid of these poor famiies, Oiven when f passed the residence of the Bundes- kanzier did I'see half a dozerr poor women enter- ing theré at once. In fact it seems that ic was the dearest work and greatest enjoyment of the Prin- cess in Christian charity to heal the wounds of the suffering and to giad jen the hearts of the poor and needy. Burter Christian charity and great piety are not the only characteristics which claim our highest esteem tor Princess yon Bismarck and ren- der her a worthy pattern for all other iadies; she is also, as I have observed before, a lady of high mental culture and great intellectual capacities, and thus a Gt companion for the great statesman whose glory 1s the present unity of allGermany. Her High- ness is a great admirer Of thé fine aris and special devote Of Classical music. Her birthday, which was in the beginning of this month, is always cele- brated by & concert of classical music. When I had been introduced to the Princess she kindly asked whether I was able to speak German, as shegras afraid her English had become rather rusty, but that as soon as her daughter had made her appearance she would not fall to address her to me. On my replying that I wasa native of Germeny, ‘and proud to belong to a nation that under the stavesmansnip of the Imperial Chancellor had at last been united and taken that rank amonw the civi- luzed nations of Europe to which It was entitied by its inherent qualities, she was just going to make come further remarks, when up stepped ee PRINCE BISMARO™ HIMSKLP, 4m the so-called interim’s uniform of a Meutenant general of the Seventh regiment of culrassiers, his own regiment.

When he entered Prince Bismarck advanced and shook hands, observ- ing, with a sinile, “We are just indulging in all sorts of biaaphemous remarks on the Reichstag’s room.” Dr. Simson, with arch solemnity, succeeded by a bland smile, rephed, “I hope that no unparliament- ary language 1s made use of,” woich observation Was received with general hilarity, THE ROOMS WERR NOW RAPIDLY FILLING. There were members of the Reichstag from every part of Germany and ef all parties present. I heard the different diatecta of the Wuertembergers, tho Bavarians, Saxons, Hanoverians and ochers; saw the representatives of the high aristocracy, with stars and orders, the plain evening dress; afew members of the Reichstag with the order of the iron cross, one having his arm still in a sling; and I aiso noticed the clertcal garb of bishops and Caiholic priests. Ali were eagerly conversing in groups of two and three, while | Prince Bismarck walked about from oue room to ; | the Church, then chatting with an acquaintance, aud all in such a pleasant and cheerful manner that everybody seemed enchanted, and there was such | n agreeable hum of voices mingled with frequent laughter as it is seldom the lot of host to hear from the society assembied around him. The tone ot the assembly testified to the fact that the Bundeshanzler knows how to make everybody feel easy and com- fortable in a company consisting of vastly differing elements.

The chairs and sofas of the room were covered in rich yellow Chinese silk rial Chancellor, another to the right to the great saloon. Two bearskins from animals shot by the Prince himsel’, as I was informed, also attracted my attention in this room.

He also told me that it was the inten. | tion of the Fishery Union here to acciimatize a certain sort of American trout here.

At thia juncture Count von Wartensle»eu begged me to accompany him, as he wanted fo introduce me to THE COUNTESS VON BISMAROR, danghter of the imperial Chancellor, and to some other ladies, 1 was kindly received, and soon en- gaged In an English conversation.

THE EPI-COPALIANS. The Chicago Church Troubles—Tho Case ot the Itey. Mr. Cheney. CHicaGo, May 11, 1871, One of the persons present at the meeting on Mun- day on the subject of the Church controversy writes to correct the account that has been published. Among many things, he says the Bishop did not propose to suspend the pronunciation of Mr. Cheney's | sentence till the meeting of the next General Vonvene } ton, and, further, thereafter, tf that convepuon sialt | decide tat Mr, Cnewey had been following the ' doctrine of the Episcopal Church in omiting the use | of the word ‘regenerate’ in te oiiice of Infant bap- tism, Mr. Cheney to consent to its use. Such @ pro- ‘ position was not even most remotely hinted ne Bishop's presence, A proposal somewhat resembling this was mooted at the afternoon meeting; but the hopelessness of any such settlement of the dificulty, even assunlog: that the law woutd allow the Bishop to accept such & svlution, was shown by the utver reiusal of Mr. Cheney to use the obnoxious term under any cir cumstances, and the refusal of its vestry to recom. mend him to suspend the exercise of his ciericut functions until the assembling of the Convention, Jt was, indeei, proposed that Mr. Cheney should | omit the vapuisinal service altogether during that ) mpterval; but, meanwhile, the vestry claimed lor | tm that he’ should be at liberiy toconunue the exercise Of all nis other functions In direct con.em ps | of the sentence of suspension already pronounced. ‘The report that Bishop Whitchouse telegrayhed to Rey.
