THE ASSEMBLY Al CAPE MAT.
THE BTOORIOH HOUSE BALL LAST NIOHT A
MAONinCENT OVATION TO THE MARYLAND
1 1FTH THE EVENT OI' THE REASON.
The ball to the Maryland Sth at the Stock
ten House last night was a brilliant affair,
and passed off with great ccM. At 9 o'clock
the regiment, escorted by the Reception
Committee, entered the house, and imme
diately thereafter the invited- guests and
others followed. The hall was tastefully de
corated with Hags of all nations, the coats-of-arms
of the various States being assigned
proper and prominent places throughout the
room. Frevious to the regiment entering the
tall, and while drawn up in line, a tine dis
play of fireworks was had. Dodworth's Band,
increased to thirty performers, furnished the
dancing music, while that for the promenade
was furnished by the band of the regiment.
The scene In tl e ball-room as the glittering
throng moved through the graceful figures of
the quadrille, or whirled and twisted in the
nazes of the waltz, was exceeding pictu
resque and inspiring. The toilets of the
ladies were remarkably fine and elaborate,
and were distinguished by that modesty and
good taste that have characterized all the balls
given here during the present season. The
officers and men of the 5th were in full
dress uniform, and threw themselves into the
f'f Htivities with an abandon that manifested
inhere feeling and earnest enjoyment.
Numerous officers of the army and of Phi
Indelphia regiments were present in full
r.nifcrm, among whom were noticeable Gene
ral Van V lei t, Sewall, Bingham, Bier and
.'arr, and Colonels Sellers, with several line
.fficers of the 4tb, Leo, and Moore. Hon.
Reverdy Johnson, W. Prescott Smith, Hon.
Thomas Swann, lion. N. G. Penniman, Hon.
Samuel J. Randall, Senator Ramsey, of Min
nesota, Hon. Morton McMichael, Judge
Yorke, W. E. Lehman, Samuel R. Phillips,
Thomas Dolan, John T. School, John Tucker,
S. Gross Try, and numerous other prominent
gentlemen were also present. The programmes
were exceedingly elegant and novel, and were
brought from Baltimore.
During the evening a banquet was served
in the breakfast room for the officers of the
5th, and the special invited guests. The
entire affair was under the immediate charge
of Colonel Herbert and several of his officers.
Mr. Duffy, of the Stockton, was indefati
gable in his endeavors to render everything
successful, and succeeded to the entire satis
faction of every one present. The greatest
attention was paid to every detail, and
nothing that could suggest itself to Mr.
Duffy was left undone. Dodworth also de
serves special notice for the very excellent
music furnished.
The ball was a most gratifying success in
every particular, and the numerous visitors
from Baltimore were filled with delight. The
numerous pretty ladies present were a sub
ject of general remark among the gentle
men. Many of these were from Baltimore.
The occasion was one of the most enjoyable
ever experienced at Cape May, and in gran
deur far excelled that of the New York 7th.
Each of the ladies present was presented
by Mr. Duffy with a small bouquet of fra
grant flowers during the evening. The hall
decorations were by W. F. Scheible, of Phi
ladelphia. WE WAIt.
THIS MORNING'S DESPATCHES.
I WLPAEAT10N8 FOR THE SIEGE OF COLOGNE
THE EMFUCOn'a ADDRESS TO THE NAVY THE
lUENCH-r-BUBblAN SECRET TREATY.
Paris, July 2. La Liberte announces
that the Journal Officid will publish to-morrow
the correspondence between the French
and Italian Governments, in which the first
steps were taken for the solution of the ques
tion of the occupation of Rome. The
Libtrte promises that the document will
create a sensation, and will show that the
Italian Government has not even asked for
the withdrawal of the French troops, but
Trance has taken the initiative to that end.
La Liberte reports that the Empress has
t-aid "that the only end the war can have is
victory for France. '
The Journal Officid publishes a despatch
from the Duke de Gramont, addressed to the
diplomatic representatives of France, refuting
the statements made by Baron von Wertber,
that no mention had been made of the candi
dature of Prince Leopold previous to the late
offer of Prim. Gramont appends a latter
from Count Benedetti, dated March 31, 18G9,
btating that he bad been assured by the Cabi
net of Berlin that there was nothing serious
in the report that it was possible that an
offer of the throne of Spain might be made
to iionenzoiiern.
ine Aiomieiir au aoir says it learns from a
good source that Prince Leopold of Hohen
zollern and his father are in bad odor at Ber
lin, on account of their renunciation of the
Spanish throne, and adds that Bismarck had
reproached them for their precipitate action,
which enabled Spain to keep clear of the
quarrel, and permitted France to place more
troops on the Rhine, as there is no need for
her to watch Spain. The same paper notices
editorially the treaty proposed in 1SC6, and
bays it never bad the adhesion of the Empe
ror. The Moniteur du Soir adds that such a
project did exist, bnt it was proposod by
Prussia and not by ranee.
The Empress while at Cherbourg read to the
sailors of the fleet an address from the Em
peror, which says: "Though not among
yon, my thoughts follow you to those seas
where your valor will be displayed. The
French navy has a glorious history. You
will be worthy of its past. When in front of
the enemy remember that France is with you.
and calls the protection of Heaven upon your
arms. While von fight on sea, your brethron
fight on land for the same cause.' Go and
show with pride the national standard, and
when they see it the enemy will know that it
unfolds the honor and genius of France."
After the delivery of the above address,
the Empress was overcome with emotion.
The effect of her visit to the fleet is said to
be great. .
London, July 20. The raU JfaU Gazette,
now that the real designs of the French Em
peror are revealed, counsels England to make
every preparation for war.
Persons residing near the fortifications of
Paris have been notified to quit their houses,
as the space is required for the play of ar
tillery. ! The French force at Thionville and Moselle
is estimated at 80,000 men. The Imperial
Guard is at Nancy.
, The early evacuation of Rome by the French
troops is almost certain. France takes this
method of securing the friendship and alli
ance of Italy.
The French report another cavalry skirmish
near Metz, and claim that the Prussians were
beaten and lost three officers.
A despatch from Paris assumes that the
Emperor leaves to-night for the front. The
environs of Cologne have been cleared of the
inhabitants and buildings, and the hills will
be levelled, in preparation for a siege. The
French Government exempts coal from the
list of articles contraband of war. A further
advance in the rate of discount at the Bank
of France is expected.
A special despatch from Strasbourg, - re
ceived to-day, says: "Theelite of the French
aimy is now concentrated at Strasbourg and
Belfort. The Algerian forces, consisting of
Zouaves and Turcos, and filling eighteen rail
way trains, reached Strasbourg on the 24th,
and to-day took up position at Belfort, close
to the Baden line. Sixteen squadrons of
Chasseurs d'Af rique arrived to-day, via Lyons. "
Despatches received from Thionville,
Sierck, St. Arold, Metz and Bitche, state that
the army has commenced to move to the fron
tier. The Imperial Guard has already
started, and it is now regarded as certain
that the Emperor designs closing in on the
Prussians between Thionville and Weissen-
bourg, throwing the army under MoMahon
on the German side of the Rhine. This army
is composed of three corps, commanded by
Generals Failly, Douay and McMahon. A
force of S000 marines, in command of Gene
ral de Vassaigne, accompany the Baltic fleet,
and an attack is to be made on Stralsund, im
mediately north of Berlin. France denies
the authenticity of the secret treaty said to
have been offered to Prussia.
Grafe, the eminent German oculist, is dead.
In the House of Commons to-night, Mr. Glad
stone, in reply to a question of Mr. Torrens,
said negotiations for. the settlement of the
Alabama claims stood where they aid a year
and a half ago, the United States having de
clined the offer made by England. The next
advance was due from the American Govern
ment. Earl Granville, in the House of Lords to
night, again referred to the draft of a secret
treaty alleged to have been proposed by
1 ranee to Prussia, and said be had an inter
view this afternoon with the French Ambas
sador, who told him that the treaty originated
with Bismarck; that it never had a serious
basis, and was rejected by both parties. The
ambassador protested that France was actually
desirous of maintaining peace with Belgium,
England, and Holland.
Mr. Gladstone informed the House of Com
mons that advices from Hertin, settling tne
authenticity of the Times' information regard
ing the alleged treaty, were hourly expected.
The British Minister at Berlin had telegraphed
that the despatch containing the original pro
positions of Napoleon embodied in the treaty
existed in Count Benedetti's own band-
writing.
Mr. Utway, under foreign becretary, de
clined, when asked, to make any communica
tion or express an opinion of the proposal
made by Napoleon to annex Holland.
THE BOISE OF ROUEN ZOLLERN.
ITS OIlIGIN AND , PROGRESS A LOXO HISTORY
IN BRIEF.
JVoiH VOpinion, Rationale, July 13.
The House of Hohenzollern, which to-day
makes so much noise in Europe, and menaces
all nations by its ambitious projects, is of
Suabian origin. In leaving the town of
Hechingen, watered by a tributary of the
Neckar, the traveller wno directs nis steps
southward toward Berlingen sees rising
on his left a conical-shaped mil, on
the summit of which is situated a castle
of feudal proportions. That is the cradle
of the bouse of Zollern, called Hohen or high
Zollern, on account of the elevation of the
ancient manor. This castle, which gave its
name to the royal house of Prussia, was built
about the year U80 A. D. The petty nobles
to whom it served as a residence lived for a
long time in obscurity, and became divided
into three branches, that of Franoonia,
whence has issued the royal house of Prussia,
and those of Hechingen and Sigmaringen,
who remained stationary. The two latter
have played but an insignificant role in his
tory, but the line of Franconia learned early
to appreciate the value of money, and
Frederick VI, afterward Frederick I, con
ceived the happy idea of lending 100,000
florins to the Emperor Sigismund. That
100,000 florins was the origin of his great
ness. Sigismund, being unable to repay them,
yielded as collateral security to his creditor
the Margravate of Brandenburg, till he should
be able to discharge the debt. Frederick
found some trouble in installing himself in
the Marches, for the nobles of the district did
not feel disposed to submit to this hypotheti
cal superior. The Kitgows, the Bismarcks,
and others revolted, and at first came off con
querors. But Frederick was a man of ability.
He learned that the Margrave of Thuringia
was the possessor of a new weapon of war of
marvellous power, called a . cannon. He
brought this to bear upon his adversaries,
and, thanks to the cannon, terminated the
struggle to his own advantage. Thus was
Prussia born by the power of gold and cannon
balls. Despoiled of their possessions in
consequence of the wars of Napoleon, the lit
tle princedoms of Hechingen and Sigmarin
gen lost their royal dignity, but having
given their adhesion to the Confederation of
the Rhine, they were reconstituted by Napo
leon I, a proceeding which did not prevent
them, from turning against him in .1814.
Having but scanty revenues and abundant
debts, Hechingen and Sigmaringen decided
upon resigning, in 1848, all their rights in
favor of the King of Prussia, who, by a
treaty concluded in 1850, agreed to pay the
former branch an annual sum of
10,000 thalers, and the latter of
z.rj,uuo inaiers. lie ten ms Honor oon.
cerned in the possession of this little
territory, containing 74,000 inhabitants,
which gave him, besides, a footing in South
Germany. Scarcely was he invested with his
double principality before he hastened to re
pair the manor of Zollern, to rebuild anew
its Gothic fortifl cations, and to cause to be
inscribed in letters of cold and azure, above
the entrance door, this Inscription:
Zollrrn, Nuremberg. Brandenburg united, bnllt
this msile In 14ns. The strong hand of Prowl
raised me up. 1 am called the door of 'the Eagle
1661."
I Above this proud gateway of the Eagle his
Prussian Majesty caused a figure in relief to
be erected, representing a fully-armed knight,
with this motto: " Vom Fels tumMeer"
from the rock to the sea; that is to Bay, from
Zollern to the Baltio; from Zollern to Trieste,
on the Adriatic, being understood.
