A PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WONOER.
Things for Which Illsmnrck In Kiunooj

Some tlmo ago, while l'rlnco Illsmnrck was
still chancellor of tho Ovriiinii Kniplro, hi
phjsiolnii wnriied lilm Unit If ho wished to

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

reeonllng nngol has let fall n coiiplo of
teurs thnt blotted out the record of thoio
two lapses from his ustml serenity if
miuitu-r and gentleness of Hpeeeh, for it
Ih piettyeertnin that ho felt himself fully
justilled. which donhthw had ltn weight
In the jtidgini'iit of that good angel.
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."

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.

An uugnllniit jury awarded damages re

Hits Klllnd Many Million Hogs.
Tho champion hog sticker of the country is
probably John Wesley Haxlett, of Kansas
City. Ho has sjxiit fourteen years as n pack
ing house employe, and regards tho killing
of 2,000 hogs a fair day's work. Figuring on
that Uisls, nnd allowing JWO working days to
a year, it would appear thut during his career
Ilaslutt has presided nt tho obsequies of nenr
ly 8,o00,000 iwkerx. Tho Inrgest number
over slain by him In ten consecutive hours
was 4,118. Despite the fact thut his hnnds

ment. Tho "subject" had died of phthisis.

LITTLE MINNIE PALMER.
Airs. .Met It. Coliiillt Writes of Her Knoifl
edKe of ilils Artiste.
8xx'lnl ('iriesHiiiilonoe
ClIATTANOtHlA, April 10. 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. !
