CA.PIT AL CITY COURIER, SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1890 A PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WONOER. Things for Which Illsmnrck In Kiunooj Outside o( Polities. Some tlmo ago, while l'rlnco Illsmnrck was still chancellor of tho Ovriiinii Kniplro, hi phjsiolnii wnriied lilm Unit If ho wished to live lm mint roduco hU consumption of wlno and tobacco.

Tim prince undoubtedly spolo tlio truth, for besides nn Iron will ntul Iron iicrvoho bad an Iron stomnch, ivirtlculnrly in lilt youuRvr da) s, w linn ho shone preeminent lit nil tho student drinking bouts. At (lottlnc,on uni versity ho win Indeed to his classmate mill friends what ho was destined afterward to bo to tlio Ooniinn jiooplo a lender m i m WITH IIIM I'll'K AMI ML'( Among othur things ho Knitted mucli fmno as n duelist, nml In nil of his encounters which wore ninny wns nover wuiinded unvo onco, nml thun nccidcntnlly by tlio breaking of his ntlverwiry's blndo. Although little seen in tho professor's lecture room ho Is wild to hnvo huil nn Intlmiito acquaintance with tho career, or university Jail. Ills tiros In thoso days win striking. Ho wore high boots, a velvet Jnckot, nml n llttlo round vlsorless cnp, ilocornUil with tlio colors of his club or flKlitlnj; corjH. Ills porcelain bowled pipe, a yard in length, mid ornamented with 11 tassel, was seldom out of his nioutli. llosldos other things Doinlnus do Hlsmarek hml n reputa tion ns 11 skilled brewer of punch, which spread beyond tho limit of Gottliigon nnd piocured him nn invitation from tho stu Uonts of Jenn to visit tho university by tho finale and tench tho iumntcs how to concoct tho deloctnblo drink. A professor nt Uerlln, where IIlMimrck llnishod his education, onco said: "Ho did mo tho honor to plnca hisunmo on my class roll, but I never saw him In tho lecture room." Yot tho future clinncellor passed his stnte exnmlnntion with credit, having crowded tho work of six semesters Into one. Even when busied with tho uliairs of a na tion tho princo lovod to recall tho duys when ho wns exulornutly reckless, nnd to bring about him tho friends of his youth. One of thoso, John Iothrop Motley, when United States minister nt Vienna, lecei veil a letter from tho princo which tgnu "Jack, my dear," nnd continued: "Why do you never come to Merlin! When cuu you como, nnd when will you! I swear Hint I will mnko out the tlmo to look with you on old Loglcr'a quarters mid drink n Iwttlo with you nt (Jorolt's, where they onco would not allow you to put your slender leg upon 11 chair. Let jsilitics lio hanged unit como to see mo." It wns while n student that Hlsuinrck pur chused hl tliiit houud, a rnco from which ho has cliosuu his cnnlue compnuious over since. Being summoned before tlio doiiu of tho uni versity to receive a reprfmnnd, ho went, and took his dog with him. The ferocious ant nml torrllled tlio professor so much that tlio hid was let olf w 1th a suinll Hue on agreeing to "get that Leant out of tho room." Erratic nnd dissqintcd ns wns tho young count's student career It wns milk and wnter compared with tho orgies of w hlch ho wns tint hero nfter taking jxhsesslon of his estates. Ho oscillated between the wildest curousnls and fits of molnncholy. Ono hour ho would ImjHio leader in tho revels at u garrison mess tahle, tho next, anguish depicted on his features, ha would wander gloomily ulnmt tho walks of his prlvnto grounds. His neighbors thought him crazy and called him "Mud MUmarck." But oven thou ho was Imperious and master ful to a degree. Soon after receiving the jxwt of assistant Judge at tho Merlin city court ha roared nt nu attendant who annoyed him: "Sir, Lelinvo yourself, or I shall put you out of tho room." Tlio presiding judgo remarked: "My young friend, tho putting out is my alfulr." Tho annoyance being repented, Mls- niarck- cried: "u you don't behavo I will hnve tho judge put you out." Thut, in his later years, the chancellor could tnko ns well ns give vrrbnl rudeness ft shown by his interview witli a physlclnu who was attending him in illness. "You ask too many (mentions," sold tho prince. "If you do not want to bo interrogated, go to a veterinary," replied tho doctor. Tho distin guished patient remained muto n iniuuio and then exclaimed: "If you nro ns clover as you aro rude, you will go far." Tho medi cal man, Schweninger byname, cured him. While staying ut Mnrlenbnd, a few years njo, Mismarck wus assailed by a womnii who accused him of trespassing, and placed him in charge of an otllcer, who, on learning hi prisoner's inline, tried to lleo. Tho princo, however, insisted on Inilng taken to tho sta tion, where he charged himself with tho offense nnd paid n line. All in all it is a wonderful character, that of the man from whoso huuds the reins of power hnvo so recently dropped. Ho has quaffed deip draughts from every imaginable ioiuit of pleasure, and still retained health and intellect capable, for nearly two genera tions, of coping with the most tremendous problems of national )o, iiutiounl unity nnd the preservation of the inonurchiul Idea in government, into Lis retirement ho carries fresh hon ors, for ho is no longer l'rlnco Mis marck, but tho Duko of Lauon burg, colonel gen era! of cavalry mid field marshal gen oral.

On one occurIoii tho writer of this was in his olllee and for an hour watched him lis he 1 revived tho motley collection of unforttmato peraoni who came thero for aid. Mr. Cliilds nut in his chair, and ouch person enme forward from the outer olllee to the Htimll inner one, which only held himself and the ono person. "And what do you want?" ho would say kindly and sympathetically, and then tho person, man or woman, would tell his tale of sorrow or sulToring, and Mr. Cliilds would say nothing moro than to ask how much money was needed, and then, without a moment's hesitation, hand out tho sum required nnd cut short the thanks almost liruwuicly and hurry tho iRM-Non out, to go through tho samo formula with another. No unworthy person could withstand tho mild and trustful kimllinesn in thoso ovm, that were full of tears more than onco thnt day as some simple but sor rowful talo of misery was told him. Ho ! had an obituary poem put into tho paper tor a jioor old woman s dead grandchild, and he gave a broken down printer money to start a job oillce, and no small sum, cither, and ho gave a mini money to bury his wife and now liorn baby, and a news Iwy money to buy a bootblack's kit for a little friend who did not put in Ins ap pearance. All these applicants and very many more, from tho broken banker to tho sick lxok agent, went away rejoicing After thero iind been many of thoso visits there entered a lank and oily, long haired man, who at onco opened out on the evils of giving money to beggars and persons who might go right oir and spend it in riotous living, if not in winu bib bing, and wound up by asking Mr. Cliilds to give a thousand dollars to help a mis sionary church society. .Mr. Cliilds roso up in bis place, and his usually rosy color gave place to ono still rosier, while his eyes fairly snaped fire as ho said: "Not a cent, sir, not a cent; get out!" Tho other time was when the xdltieal kettle was just beginning to simmer, be fore tho nomination of Hayes, and thero was a party very anxious to obtain Mr. Cliilds' consent to a nomination for presi dent, and among all thoso brave men thero was not ono who dare broach tho sub ject to him. So they found a woman who knew Mr. Cliilds, and who did not know his deep rooted aversion to olllco holding, and who thought that tho word she brought was going to bring him pleasure, and she was proud to be tho bearer of so important a message. Tlio good man listened as tho lady un folded her tale, but sho grew frightened as sho proceeded, observing that instead of receiving tho news with pride and a feeling that it was but n just and de served expression of tho sentiments- of his good friends, clouds gathered over his usually benign features, and sho grew confused and frightened at her temerity, but persevered until her errand was done. "You tell thoso those cowards, who put an ignorant woman to do what they dnro not como nnd say themselves, that I'll bee them I mean ahem, well for reasons of my own I decline irrevoca bly and entirely. And now, my dear madam, you needn't bo so frightened, for you've dono no wrong, only you've been mndo a catspaw of. Let 1110 ad vise you to koep out of politics forever, as I shall. Good day." llEt.K.N AsilTON. Tim Chinese In Nun Krnuclnco. San Fuancisco, April 5. No ono would supjwso to look at tho Chinntnen here gabbling, gossiping, talking, laugh ing, and nlways apparently in a good humored frame of mind, that thoy wero so bitterly hated by n Inrge proportion of our race. They do not seem to tnko it to heart nt nil. They keep on busying themselves with their own nllairs, laying new plans for business, imjxirting more of their own wares, setting up now stores, while even now tho city author ities are seriously agitating tho question of tho removal of tho entire Chinese quarter, with Its hundreds, If not thou sands, of stores, and ixijiulation by tens of thousands, several miles awny to South San Fiancisco. Certainly they an tho queerest prob lem wo over confronted. Among us and :iot of us, hero in our midst now over a generation, and no more assimilation than between oil and water, stigmatized ns "heathen," "pagans" nnd a "lower race," yet quiet, orderly, industiious, skillful, persevering and generally suo cohstul in nu thing thoy undertake, tak ing immediate hold of American inven tions, such us the sewing machine, and using it to prollt and advantage; keen in business, their lending men carrying on large commercial transactions and hero they are seemingly determined to stay. Thelis seems a quiet, undemonstrative kind of determination, but it's very de termined lor all that. Disliked, abused, insulted, persecuted, with load after load shoved on them: their piiviloges constantly curtailed, their lesidciice hero rendered yearly more precaiious ami uncertain, et they seem to go on and go ahead with that sort of progressiveness which whjius to ignore entiiely failure and diillculty of any sou. Thoy seem to hnvo a happy faculty of forgetting the unpleasant of tho past. They jog on ami trot in after the last blow, tho last mountain put in their pathway, as if 11 was ali right and nothing more than 1 v expected. Thev seem like tho coral nsects, r, hich build for nieie hake or loo of huildiiitr. and if the whole leef is destroyed sut to work on tho ruins immediately, without tho least feeling of discouragement.

I lived for two or three enis In the same hotel with Minnie Palmer and was intimately ac quainted with the winsome little woman, When I llrst met her sho was playing Doiothy, In "Daniel Drtice," with I.uw lence llariett, utld a HW-eeter peisonatlou was never seen tlintl lusebiiil Minnie 111 the slnlil nnd somlier (junker cliarucler and dress. It was my complete satisfac tion w iih her performance that led me to approach her charming mother and ex press my admliatiitu of Minnie. Mrs, Palmer.a fiiscinntlrg anil cordial woman, met my advance in such gracious way thut it led to u long and pleasing associ ation. I soon met Minnie, and continued to see her fieqiiently. She wasqulle young then an apparition of glilish loveliness lose bloom and gtaco mid dimples. Nothing could exceed tho modesty of her conduct lu the hotel. She was ill w a) h attended by her bewitching mother (now Mrs. Kale Palmer .Stem, so well known in the movements for the help of working women), and was as flee of vanity and as simple as any ordinary schoolgirl of seventeen. She usually dressed ill dark colors; shoit skirts up to the tops of her shoes; her lovely nut brown hair falling down her back in a thick braid. She was always bright, amiable, frieudl). She was blest with high spirits, but iicvt'1'cios.seil the bound ary lino of rellnetuenl and good bleed- She was a I11111I student, and gave many hours to the study of music and dancing, giving .aiefiil attention to every branch of her art. Sho learned her parts lapldly nud was rarely Idle, doing plain sowing or funcy work when nothing more urgent engaged her tlmo. While I knew Minnie Palmer sho lllleil various roles Dorothy, a leading part in "Kngaged," supxjrting AgncH Ilooth; tho principal part in "Halm," in Balti more, Philadelphia and elsewhere, and nftorwurdstho charming creation in "My Sweetheart," which has added so much to her popularity. She enjoyed her stage triumphs and successes, nud loved her profession, but was exceedingly In different to the personal adiniiatlon and attentions of men. They annoyed her no little by their impertinent and per sistent olTbrts to meet her, and sho not only snubbed them right and loft, but whenever ixosslblo brought them to open ridicule. I rememler her telling 1110 with great glee of how sho onco silenced a young aspirant. Sho was acting in some opera Ixiutro with FortoMMio. One young man in tho nudlenco tried night after night, by notes, gifts and every known menus, to gain her favor and acquaintance. Finally ho sent, in a note, three violets, begging her to wear them 011 hor loft breast If sho would meet him nfter tho performance. Fortescue, ns wns usual in these burlesques, took the part of n woman, and to him Minnlo gave the vio lets. He pinned them on his ample 1k wiih, and when ho appeured in front found occasion to say: "I will meet you; oil! I will meet )ou." It is useless to state that there wus ono crestfallen young swain in the audience that even ing, and that, as his friends soon learned of it and nicknamed him "tho three violets," it was some time lieforeliu tried his fascinations ujxjii another uctress. The last time I saw Minnie I'nlmer, in public nnd in private, wus during her tour through tho south just Ixtfore sho went to Austialia. She was performing in "My Sweethert," supplied by (Irn hum. Since then she hns made her trips to England, Scotland nnd Ireland, where her successes, both social nud nrtistio, have Ijoon pronounced. She lina merited nil her Uiumplis for she is gifted, con scientious in her art and in chaiucter a sweet woman, devoid of piofessional jealousy, high toned and geiuvous. I am sure, too, that amid all the enticements of the stage sho hns kept "herself un iixatted from tho world," and the heart of her husband may securely trust in her. ! Mvi. K. Coi.qL'irr.
