During tho Franco-Gorman war, from Oct 18, 1870, to Maroh 1, 1871, I wai attached to the headquarters of tha oruwa prlnoo, who occupied an nnai timing little villa called lOmbraKO. iu ru outakirt of Versailles, hit august father residing throughout tho Invest tutiut aud singe of Paris in tho prefecture of the whilom "royal buigh," aud Count Bismarck, with hli staff of oouu. oilort and secretaries, In a dotaohod bouse of the Ituo do iTovenoo. I of teu wot the ohuuoollor out of door, walk ing or riding, during that long aud bit ter wlutor, but sedulously refrained from soliciting andluncot, being well aware that the visit" of a war oor re spond 01 it, who hud everything to ask and nothing to tell, could not pomlbly be weloouie to to desperately overwork ed statesman M Bismarck. By what meant I need not explutn In tbit place, I bad beeiniade acquainted with the precise termt of the capitula tion of 1'arit atau oailybourof the morning after the ooucluaion of the armistice, and bad, moreover, good rea too to believe that theoouditiout of the urreudejf had not been oommunicatod to any other correspondent of an Eng llfb or even a Oertuan uowtpapur at headquarters. Having obtained tha in premely important item of newt, what wai I to do wit!) it? Unlets) it could be forthwith transmitted to The Dully Tel egrapb ofllce by telegraph, my ohauoea of forettulllug my fellow correspondents would be annihilated, and there wat no wire at my diurnal or, for that mat ter, at that of any foreign journalist .within the vent radlut of the line of investment The situation appeared an utterly hopeloM one, until suddenly the hap piest of "happy tboughta" flashed through my mind Purbapt the all pow erful chancellor, newly oroatod a prince of the young Gorman empire, would authorize the transmission to London of my dispatch over bit own ofliolal wire, by moans of which be wat "en rapport" with every European capital except beleaguerod Paris. Tbwe waa no time to lose. Dufore 8 a. ni. I had taken dowu the articlea of capitulution from the lipa of my iuformaut, within half an hour I bad oopied them out, "large, bold and handsome," on two pagea of foolscap and had made myself presentable. At 9 o'clock I presented myself at tbe street door of the house in Ibe line de Piovence and tent op my card lo Coun cilor Lotbar Bnober, with a penciled request that be woold allow me to speak to bim in private. Almost immediately be came down to tbe waiting room on tbe ground floor, into wbloh I bad been abown, and asked me what be oould do for me. "Can yon procure me a Ave minutes' audience of tbe prince?" I re plied. "I don't know," wat the rejoin der, "but I'll try. Tbe chancellor it ex tremely busy, bet perbape he'll wje yon If yon can aarare me that tbe matter It really urgent." I declared that for me it could not possibly be more to, where upon Bucber left me 1 confess, in fever of anxiety and wat absent for about a quarter of an bonr, at the ex piration of which he reappeared and beckoned to me to follow bim np stain , In an ex-boudoir on tbe first floor converted into a tort of office I fonnd tbe chancellor awaiting me. After the briefest of greotlngt be said, "Pray, tell me what yon want in the fewest possi ble words, for I bave not a moment to lote." I prodnoed my dispatch, banded it to bim and asked him if it wat sub stantially correct After looking through It be answered: "Yes, it it. I don't know bow yon got yonr information, and I don't Intend to ask, but these are tbe termt on wbloh Paris surrenders. What then?" When I besought hit permission lo forward the message over hit wire, he laughed lather grimly, laying, "Yon most be mad to ask inch a thing!" I urged upon bim that tbe tension of publio feeling in England with respeot to the fate of Paris waa very painful many people't sympathy being tempo rarily averted from Germany by harrow ing account! of the sufferings undergone by tbe population of tbe French capi tal. "That tension would be considera bly relieved, sir," I replied, "by tbe knowledge that tbe tlege of Paris it come to an end and that tbe victors have aocordod merciful termt to the vanquished." Prince Bismarck hold out against my importunity for about oouple of minutes, but be yielded at tout, only stipulating that I should efface my name at the end of the dis pute!) . "On no acoouut can I allow yon to tign a message tent over my wire. If your people in London do not believe it to be antbentio when it reaches them, that it their affair. But it must go un signed or not at all." It did go unsign ed ; it was accepted at antbentio, and itt publication that very afternoon in a special edition of The Daily Telegraph proved to be one of the greatest journal istic oonpt effected by any London newspaper daring tbe Frauoo-German war.
