THE DAILY BEE---TUESDAY JANUARY 13, 1885, PRINCE BISMARCK | ©Oharacteristics of the Man who Rules the German Empire, Oorrespondence London Times, The chancellor is not avoricious, but he is a Prussian, and the Pantheon des tined for generous Prussians is known to be still w. ng for its first guest, With. out being avoricions, he is as fond of or- der, cconomy and regularity as the Great Frederick, and enters into detatls of housekeeping to which one would natur ally suppose him a_strenger. I have heard him relate, with the broad humoe characteristic of him, that one ot hia for mor valetehad begged him for a lease of an inn on his property at Varzin. ‘A soon as he became the tenant,” said Bismarck “uf the inn, which used to vield' 2,000 marks, he betook himself, in his capacity of my ex-valet, to the study of politics, He subseribed to all kinds of news. papers,and onthem passed his time. When gueats arrived he treated them insolently for distnebing him., He soon foll into disrepute as a surly landlod, and travolers took care not to enter the inn. Ho now carns scarcely enough to pay for his nowsparors, As to myself I shall have to evict him, for he has long ceased to pay his rent.” And you could see that the loss of the rent affected him, Yot the tone was not that of a miser, but that of discontent at having his calcula- tions deranged. Prines Bismarck leads a very methodi cal life, and in the count'y, as in the town, no event is allowed to interfere with its regularity. His grand dinners are abundant, with mathematical sufficiency, without stint or waste, His daily meals are those of a good family burghe d the servants are methodical, attentive d silent, None of his household ever com- mits the mistake of epeaking at _the table before the ster of the house has, so to speak, tacitly given him to see whether the prince is in a_conver sational mood, and when he is pleased to speak, all are hushed, not to lore one of his words. o this, in part, is due the Jarge number of words, anecdotes and di alogues attributed to him, for it has al- ready long been customary for his liste cra to treasure up every word he utters. One of the pricce’'s chaiacteristics is his lové for some large dog, which he makes hls constant companion and feeds himself—a dog, for instance, like the one that so terrified Prince Gortschakoff. The dog follows the prince into his dinlog room and stretches itself on the carpet. In the course of the meal the butler brings a largs piece of boiled boef on one plate, and bits of sosked bread on an- other. The prince in person cufs up the beef and prepares the food for the dog, which stands by, grave and astentve, pending the solemn preparation ot its food. The prince's dog is never fed in any other way. There 13 something note- worthy in tho habits of this man, who personifies the Prussian race in its most elevated character. 1f Bismarck is not close, ho is not gen— erous either. He does what he deems right, and_expects everjone to do also what is right by him. Generosity, in the ordmary senso of the term, is too mild, unreflecting, effeminate a qual ty to enter into this collossal, romgh-hewn nature. He treats men too much like figures, to dded, multiplied and divided at will, to entertan any tender feelings toward them. He aspires less to rule them by gentleness than by the vigorous ascen- dency of his genius, and he would not be areatly flattered by an affection unmixed with dread and admiration., KEven on rare occasions where, in other men, what is called the heart comes into play, in him the master— nay, almost the tyrant —is to be found. Hisvery effection bears the character of oppression, and no glove is thick enough to conceal the iron hand beneath it. Yet, such as he is, this man is the most prowminent, mos: striking figure of the age, and this is so true that amid all the exe— cration he excites, it is here considered aean by his very enemies to treat as the reichstag has done one of the monuments of the century. e —— Frenchmen csn properly ba called ‘‘the Kuights of the table.” They are good judges in all its refinements and delicacies.

A mosshack knows enongh to sit still and piece of the territory ad itation until his enterpris work out the development of his of country. He never ecngages in any of the schem which have no imwediate and positive promise of remuneration to him His little t soul can't comprehend the desirability taking part in any enterprise looking 1 the public wolfare.

Although he never contributes materially towands subserip tions for advancing the general prosperity of his town, he always feels himself in sulted in that the distribution of the funds is not made in exactly the manner that he desired. ' He cannot be pleased. He respects only those who ignore him and he abuses everybody. If a projected railroad is approaching a town lnhnblhd by & colony of mossbacks, the chances are that the depot will be located four miles from the village because tha moss backs of the south side would rather let it go there than tnat those mesn north ors should get it. If Robinson dies and bequeaths plot of ground to the town to be used as a city park, the Jones faction, having control of the govern mont, refuses to accept the legacy be. cause the late lamented Robipson had been a leader of the Smith party, their mortal enemies, A chair factory or a canned goods es tablishment looks over the town with view to putting in worke.

Butter is the mature froit of the fall blown cow. Itis the greatest effort of her life. The cow toils not, neither does shospin. yot I say unto you that Solo- mon In all his glory could not beat her on hand-made, or rather milk-maid butter. This subtle joke 1 have ropaired aud newly upholatered for use during the winter. 5 Butter comes from the cow in a liquid state, Lt s quite a trick to win her con- fidenco 8o that she will yield it up to a total stranger. I onco sought to woo the lacteal fluid from the milk-retort of a Iargo spockied cow to whom 1 was a comparative stranger. She waen't one of those blooded cows that look ag though they havebeen cut out of a shoet of paper with a pair of eclssors. She was a low cow, with coarse Instincte, born in ob- acurity. Her brow was low, but she wore her tail high and she was haughty—O, to haoghty, The young man who had hitherto acquired the milk from thie cow desired ono evening to hie him away to a neighborlng village, where ho might trlp the light bombastic toe till the wee sma’ hours anent the twa'. (Quotation from a poot who was a poor speller.) Hewant- ed me to milk his Iarge, speckied, plobi- an cow; and 1 said 1 would. The move- ment was certainly ill advlsed. I nnder- took to do as I had agreed, but failed, From the moment I entered her atall and made & commonplace remark to her I knew our acquaintance would not lead to s warm attachment. Somehow I felt constrained aud unessy in her society from the moment we met until loving friends pulled me out through the stable- window and brought me back to con- eciousness. I shall never undertake to milk a strange cow again until the sign is right. So far the slgn has not been right. 1 might be sent on a polar expedition and get stranded on an iceberg, with no other alternative but to milk a cow or eat an old friend; but [ should hate to tackle the cow unless the friend wasa very old friend indeed. Butter is produced by expunging the juice from a rare and costly chemicsl, known as cream. Cresm is the bead on the milk, Milk is known as dry and ex- tradry. A good milkman will always ack you if you want your m!lk wet or otherwise. An old well-digger named Grady told ms sbout going over into Southern In- diana at one time to dig a well for a man named Withum, Withum was sald to be very close. He was the most contiguous man in Indiana, His wife used to skim the milk ofi one side, and then turn it over and skim the bubbles off. It wasa constant struggle between Withum and his wife to see which would s the mean- er. The first day that Grady bad a round ball of butter lemon and s hard as Pharaoh’s heart, The butter-knife had a handle that would turn every fime any one tried to get a lick at the butter, and the little round ball would flop over on the other side and swile. Now and then a hired man would reach over with his own knife and malke a slash at it, but the butter, confident of its own strangth, would tip over with a dull thud, andthe man would heave a sigh and give it up. Then another farm hand would make a wild dash at it, but burst into tears and quit. ally Grady, who had watched this performance several days, jabbed his fork down into the mid- b of the yellow chunk and successfully cut it in two. In the center was a small, solid wooden top. ““There,” “I'vo found out what the blamed thing wound on, anyhoy.” et e T o Pro Atlanta (Ga.)

Sth. A young masn, eupposed to be in the employ;of & railtond company, from the fact that s brakeman's badge was found on his clothing, died saddenly at Kansas Oity about five weeks ago. The only other article in his posecasfon was the phetograph of a young lady. The picture was found in the inside pocket of his vest. His death was supposed to have been a case of sulcide, although the coro- ner's inquest failed to establish the fact. No evidence was adduced touching the identity of the man, who was described in the report as ‘‘to the jury unknown.” His body was embalmed and held at an undertaking establishment for identifica- tion, J. D. King, a_postoffico inspector of Chicago, was at Kansas oity during the present woek, He happened to visit the undertaker's establishment where the unknown body was held, and while thero saw the photograph found on the corpso. He recognized it as the picture of a young lady resident of & small town in Wisconsin, the affianced wife of Frank G. Martin the absconding assistant post- master at Pierre, D. T. The body was identified as that of Martin, who had dis- appeared from Pierre in January, 1884, and had taken with him $1,300 of the office money, No trace of him was ever discovered. It s supposed that after securing the money he traveled until his tunds were exhausted and then secured | D, work on a railroad running into Kansas City. Martin was the eon of the Rev. John Martin, of Helona, Neb,, and was for- merly employed in the First national bank at Beaver Dam, Wis. After securing a position in the Pierre postoflice he be- came addicted to drink and likewise in- duleed in numerous gambling games for high stakes. His loszes at the gaming table induced him to appropriate the office funds to his own use, and fearing detection he took to flight. o — LITERARY NOTES. Within the Shadow. By Dorothy Holroyd, 12mo, $1.256 the latest edition to the famous V. I. F.” series, and is a story of such brilli- ancy and power as to at once entitle ita author to recognition as a writer of high ability. The plot Is ingenious, and yet net complicated or improbable, and the events happen so naturally that the read- er is never called upon to exercise his imagination or to manufacturs reasons for the action of the narative. The hero- ine is Cecll Chestor, a young girl who has been tenderly and carefully nutured, and whose unusually natural gifts have been developed by judicious culture. By the death of both her parents ehe is suddenly loft alone in the world without relatives and without motiey. Of on independent spirit she rejects all offers for help from friends, chooeing rather to avail herself of her accomplishments to support herself, She enters the home of a wealthy widow a8 a companion, and while there by an extraordinary combination of * circum- stances, is made tosppear as having com- mitted a crimlnal offencs, for which she is arrested and brought to trial. The story of her sufferings is vividly told,and the clapter in which tthe climax is renched is strongly dramatic. The book cannot help making a sensation. Bos- ton, D. Lothrop & Co., Publithers.
