World) A correspondent wno left Versailles November 21 brings the following report of aa interview he had with tlsmarck on that day : Correspondent What ib the explanation of the great dissatisfaction expressed in tierinany at the utnu or eampatn, especuiiy in relation to Paris? Uismarck The capture of Paris is clamored for. and it must be accomplished, sooner or later, to satibfy the folks at home; Respecting the time and means for accomplishing this, public opinion is widely astray. It bestows animadversion unjustly, Had my counsel been followed, Parts would have been uuacked long ago. Correspondent Your excellency says yourcoun eels were overruled. ISlsmarcW When the forces led by Von Blumon. thai, alter tho victories of A'isseiuburg and Woenh, emerged from the Yosges anil .marched towards Chalons, wht re the cavalry under Priuoo Albrecht stood. Von Moltke decided that they should come up and help to annihilate the army bo hurriedly abandoned at Chalons. 1 urged that tuey shouU be oidered to coutluue their march on Paris, tUen unprepared for a siege, aud tae it, or at least cut It oif from the rent of France, which, should then be overrun as quickly as possible. Wuen tho de partments of .the Seine and Oise were reached, they were found a hard nut to crack, and then mere was a newtnuestlon. Hoy was the kernel to be reached ? At first It was determined to bombard, of which In tention a serret park of artillery at Villa Coinblay was a suillcient proof. This measure I urged. Hut bow came a disagreement. The King, under the advice of Von Moltke, decided to let famine reduce the city, trusting that discord among tue citizens would contrioute to hasten a surrender. Correspondent But the plan was universally sup- riofea to ne rour own. Bismarck So far is that opinion ffo.J the truth that I never eessed to disguise my indignation at being no longer made a part? to councils wherein great questions were decided. 'In 1S0D no important proposition was ueciied wituout asking my advice, Now. there are great changes, aud whole plans are adopted without consulting me, while tha popular disapproval laus upon me. 'i nose who say it is my fault that Paris has not been bombard 3d are wholly la error. I have most ardently desired it and most strenuously urged it. Correspondent But at least you have the satifac tlon of having accomplished the unification of Germany? Bismarck Ah, no! I attribute the halting and partial lailu'e of the attempt for German unity to thedelHv rosulnnir from tnese ODDosinir schemes. llad my advice been followed, the people of Havana and Wurtemburg would have been carried in a wave which swept over Germany, aud the graad scheme of a united fatherland and German Empire would have become a reality instval a haif-hearted con federation, now about li be born. For me, ths great object of the war never lay ou this side of the ithlne, but ou the other aide, where I meaiit it should exist, one great country, one great people, and oue great mperur. This extraordinary conversation was held nnder feculiar circumstances, which caunot be stated, bat have given almost the exact words used by Bis marck. The military situation to-day is very critical.

Frrm A vi Uton't Journal. Shallow beyond toleration, and yet com mon as it is shallow, is the understanding of tbe poetry of the day merely at an amuse ment and a grace for the parlor; whereas, in truth, it is the most ncrionnly expressive, the most immediate and intimate sign of the moral and spiritual condition of our social being. And yet, instead of interrogating so valid a sign of the interior life of the modern man, we often concern ourselves with the artifice of tbe versifier, and yet oftener fail to understand the significance of poets while we talk of their art, robnke thoir liconse, and, without a glimmering of the philosophy of expression, do not see that tbe dominant poetical utterance is tho sympathetic, the personal, the representative confttxi-m of the generation that honorw it. Bo much in a general way. Now, (o ,et at our little lesson of the day, let us look again at France a country profitable for study in every way, which, next to Italy, Reems to bo the mom generally endeared in the imagina tions, in the memories, aud in the affections of foreigners. Let. us trace the secret trouble which has had so much public utterance iu France, which at this hour leives her so uns able to cope with tho virilo Prussians. How much France has been corrupted and relaxed in all the masculine conditions of a great state, we will show you just by a glance at the first poet of thft second empire. And who do you think is the first poet of triumphant imperialism, without breathing so much as the name of Louis Napoleon? We say the first poet, because he was most hon ored at tho palace of the Tuilorias, aud bo caute, in the spirit and expression of his mUKO, all that was encouraged, all that was enjoyed, under the second empire, in tho most bewildering and feminine city of tho w orld, finds the most elaborate and exquisite, and exclusive expression. The poet of whom we speak is Thoophile Gautier he that went with tho Empress to the opening of the Suez Canal; ho that wrote art and dramatio articles for the imperial paper of yesterday, the Moniteur; he that, indifferent to the struggles of French republi cans, closed his windows during an entente, and wrote verses, as a goldsmith pleases him self with the quaint and curious shapes which he forms in the costly metal xiudr his hand Gaulier, whose fortune it has been to put forth two volumes of poems of the moat elegant, luxurious, e,?otiatic, and elaborate art, just when Faris was most disturbed by the struggles of liberty aud tho rival ambi tions of dynastio families Gautier, who cared for none of tbeso things, but thought only of the pleasure of pleasure, tho beauty of beauty, and the delightsomencss of royal and opulent idleness Gautier, the poet, jMl' e-terlkiwe, of tho second empire, of Turin under tho second empire, and consequently the veritable sign of its moral life. Heading unutier, we do not wonder that Franco w is unequal to the struggle thit her ruler of ye terday provoked. From the time of the first empire to tlm last days of tho second empire, Frauce has had a group of poets exquisitely aud pro foundly related to the political liuctuatious and changing moral aspects of 1 ranch society. Firat, Beranger, a light find gay singer, but a true lover of liberty, and a man of groat simplicity of character and goodness of heart; then, Lamartine, a noble und true ex predion of French sensibility, in face of all tho hopes and fears of the most generous minds; then. August Barbier, who wrote iu a strong and masculine spirit, pluokiug many of his subjects lrom tbo very streets of Paris, but giving them a grand character. lie was without hope of the amelioration of the ills of France, whoso trust and courage found ex pression only in the voice of an exiled poet tbe Ulustiious V ictor Hugo while in Fans. at home, De'Mnsset was the fashionable por. a feeble thinker, but an exquisite and spirited writer, unable to measure and copo with the more serious interests of his time. List came Gautier we say last, in view of his ascend ency; in fact, his first volume of poetry was put fortn about tne same time as Barbier s, at the same time as De Mussct's last came uauiicr, naving come through and survived all the political chauges ot his country witbout breathing one breath. for liberty, for revolution, or for progress He was found, after tbe coup dibit, harmless, because indiff erent to any political doctrine. and wholly in accord with the spirit and ten deney of imperialism that is friendly to a luxurious, costly, immoral civilization, asking no troublesome questions, and never address ing a word to tne ignorant and obscure vio tims at the base of the dazzling structure of imperial magnificence. France, at the cul mination of the glory of the 6eoond empire, in 1807 and 1808, had no . poet in Paris more honored at the Tuileries than Thoophila Gautier. All of his poetry is suggested by the forms of his face. There is about him an air of imperial idleness, of Oriental calm, like Ton Dyson's lotus-eaters, who, tired of struggle, have no other wish but endless rest aud obli vion of the dreadful past. Such a poet could be read at the Tuileries with perfect satisfac tion: such a poet was best for the immediate interests of shopkeepers, and artists, and soldiers. His expressed sense of beauty flat tered the taste of artists; his love of luxury was stimulative to expensive tastes, which pleased jewellers and merchauts of costly stuffs; while the military spirit was left nnrebuked by his Etruscan-like muse, that uttered Itself careless of po litical and moral issues. Beyond any modern French poet, be is the purest type of indif ference to revolution, of indifference to de rnocracy, of indifference to what is called pro cress. He is tbe only French poot who is. in his preoccupations, the absolute antithesis of a poet of the people; and for this reason he ia the poet of the second empire, of its idle and opulent and showy glory, of its material ism and negation of morality. And an em pire which reacht d no higher, that sounded no deeper experience of the common heart of humanity than is found in a poet like Gautier, could not maintain itself at tae head of modern civilization. Eugene Benson. Bells. By filing or chipping away some of the metal at tlu thiokest part of a bell, called tbe "sennd-bow. where the hammer or clapper itrikes, the tone is deepened; whereas, by reducing the diameter of the lower edge, it is raised. The ' ureat lom of Lincoln, though smaller than the great bell of St. Paul s, is heavier, on account or its greater thickness, and yieldi a higher tone. Connoisseurs in bell soienoe aver that modern church bells do not throw out such rich, penetrating sounds as the bells oast many centuries ago; and they attribute this to tbe pernicious craving for cheapness which is now besetting us. A thin lare bll will yield a note of the same pitch as a smaller bell containing greater thickness of metal, but the tone is poor and meagre. Tan monster bell at Moscow, which is estimate. 1 to weigh 400,000 to 500,000 pounds, uovr Lad thw good lilm to Ld hzzg u;, km I, therefore, its txaet pitch cannot be aoou tttfJ BtMeO. .Whoa Dr. Clarke. wM w Russia, he asked permission to assay or analyze tbe metal of which the bell is com posed, to ascertain whether silver is one of the components, in accordance with a popu lar theory; but this request was not complied with. About thirty years aco, however, the late Emperor Nicholas caused an analysis to be made, when it was found that the metal consists f about six copper to one tin, with scarcely any trace of other ingre dients, lhe sound of the bell depends, of course, on many different oircuuistancos or conditions. One of these is th metal of which the bell is composed. The mixed metals or allojs illustrate in an instructive way tbe differences of quality which result from differences in the proportion of ingre dients. Copper and tin produce the metal bronze; in other proportions they yield specu lum metal for making tbe brilliantly white re flectors of telescopes; whilo in other propor tions, again, they furnish boll metal. The Chinese iu their gongs, nnd the Europeans in their bells, have seen reason to employ pretty nearly the same kind of metal. There is always much more oopper than tin; but every bell-founder has his favorite rfcipe in this matter. home adopt simplv four of copper to one of tin. Big Ben has about twenty-two of copper to seven of tin. Mr. Lavard found at Nineveh bells which had as much as ten parts of cop per to one of tin. It is, therefore, evident that no very great amount ofj exactness is necessary in this matter. It is considered, in a general way, that an extra dose of tin improves tho sound, but renders the alloy more brittle; the founder, therefore,. estab lishes a balance of advantages according to bis judgment and experience, when a large bell is annealed very slowly the sonorous nudity of the mass is improved. Sometimes a little load, arsenic, or zinc is added to the copper and tin. Rrifinfrr. MARINE TELEGRAPH, for additional Marine Sum net First Ta-ju. ALMANAC FOR PHILADELPHIA TJ1I.S DAY.
