Count Bismarck. The friends and adm of Count Bismarck gave him a serenade, in Berlin, on the occa- | sion of his escape trom the assassin a. The Count, stepping out upon the balcony of j his official residence, returned thanks in the | the following words: «Gentlemen and beloved countrymen :—M. thanks for your xindly offering me this mar of sympathy, afer sack <a agp immineat danger - one of us would only be too happy to die for king and country, whetber in the street or on the baule-Meild. 1, for one, should regard it as &@ special tavor of God Almighty were He to accord me such a death. Let us give ashort yet comprehensive expression to our bv the cry of ‘Long life to William IP” Blind, the assassin, is dead. A correspondent writes of bim: “He must have been 4 most res- olure character. He not only mace the attempt in one of the most freqnented thoroughfares of the capital, but as appears from the more ex- plicit paruculars which have but now ap- peared, tired the last four shots while strugglin with several persons who actively endeay to seize h.m. The first bail he fired when the Count was walking directly in front of him. Before he could discharge his revol ver a second time a tradesman of the name of Elia had caught Bold of him. While trying to shake him off ne fired bis second and third balls Then Count Bismarck threw himself upon him, holding down his right arm Blind taking his pistol in bis left, and pressing it against the chest of bis mtended victim, fired tor the fourth and fifth time. It seems, however. that in the tus- sie the pistol was turned aside. so that the balls only grazed the skin. One of the last two balls wounded a journeyman bookbinder of the name of Bernewitz, who happened to be Passing. At this moment a number of soldiers came up and disarmed Blind, who had still one bali left. He bad not teen many hours in prison, when, eluding the vigilance of the con- stable sitting by his side, he managed to com- mit suicide. It is said he feigned to wipe oif the perspiration from his face, and holdinga knife concealed in his pocket handkerchief, With one sweeping cut drew it from ear to ear. As the attempt was unsuccesstul, the penaity tor his crime would bave been imprisonment with hard labor for fifteen years. He had been studying at the Agricultural Academy of Hohenheim, near Stuttgard, and bad only been two days in Beriin.
