No Bovoroign or statesman Is moro
conspicuously on ovldonco limn Prince
Bismarck ; but lately his personality
nn < l his prlvnto concerns Imvo boon
brought before the public more promi
nently than usuul. On the ono hniul
wo Imd n lilphly sonsaUonnl nrtlclo
which ran the Review in which it ap
peared through a succession of editions
with phenomenal rapidity , says a writer
in Murray's Magazine. Very oppor
tunely for the fair fame of the great
Gorman chancellor , the correspondence
of Mr. Motley appeared nlmost simul
taneously. And between these conflict
ing judgements , we are miturally in
clined to accept the dispassionate
opinions of the impartial American.
Bismarck and Motley are very old
friends. They had boon intimate in old
college days at Gottinzon. And when
Motley wrote from Frankfort tolas wife
in the summer of 1855 , assuredly ho had
no idea that the letter would be pre-
Borvod and published. Tolling of the
renewal of their former acquaintance ,
ho says : "I like him even better than I
liought I did , and you know how high
an opinion I always expressed of his
talents and disposition , " ' A few days
afterwards ho writes again : "Tho truth
is , that ho is so entirely simple , so fullof
laissor-allor , that ono is obliged to bo
Baying to one's self all the time , "This
is the great Bismarck , the greatest liv
ing man , and ono of the greatest histor
ical characters that over lived ! " In
fact , there are few men whom it ought
to bo moro easy to road and analyze ,
for , according to all who know him best ,
his predominating bharacteristic is ins
astounding candor. It has boon said , of
course , that his candor is the mask of a
profound duplicity. In point of fact ,
the theory of hypocrisy is absolutely in
consistent with all wo have hoard of
him ; and if ho has been in the habit of
romancing in hisdiplomatiointorcourso
with an affectation of truthfulness , it is
strange ; to say the least of it , that he
has never boon found out. Moreover ,
the simplicity of speech which Motley
I remarked upon in 1855 , as afterward at
| f i Vaiv.in in 1872 , had necessarily been
I ! confirmed by his growing solf-confl-
H dcnco. The solf-roliant envoy of Prus-
fi sia to Austrian-ridden Gorman diet
| | had become the autoorrtic clmn-
Jj collar of the Gorman om
it pi re , and the political dictator
I' of Europe. Ho was too proud , ho had
rj become too masterful and overbearing
I ? if wo please to call it so to wear a dis-
r guise with the men ho had learned to
I' ' look down upon. If wo take the man as
fj what ho represents himself , ho is the
I * best of witnesses on his own behalf , and
L- wo may learn as much besides , as wo
care to know , from those who have
P lived in daily familiarity with him.
* The unreserve that is so exceptional
; in a trained statesman and diplomatist
' has told against him. "He is the least
; of a poseur , " says Motley , "of any man
I . " The
- over saw. representative
| ! ' Junker , the hard-living Pomeranian
I f squire , had tumbled intouolities instead
I of being trained to them. Naturally
I- ) impulsive and impetuously outspoken ,
I \ he never cared to conceal his faults or
I ' his failings. Consequently the many
I enemies ho has made have always had
I , much to say to his disadvantage. There
i * isaboastfulnos3adnshof swagger in his
Ifi nature which inclines him to parade the
' JnllrinHipsortho forcibles , of which ho
I IB noways ashamed. Ho delights to tell
\ stories of his Gottingon student time , in
. which ho was industriously sowing his
If wild oats. Ho prides himself still on his
f feats as a trencherman , and on hiscapac-
tj ity for carrying an unparalleled qunn-
l | tityof strong liquor. Even if ho sot
$ himself solemnly to "make his soul , "as
I ' the Irishmen say , wo could never con-
I , ceivo him becoming a total abstainer ;
K and , indeed , his keenest regret
' over a misspent past seems to bo that
{ ho can not indulge at dinner
| 1 and supper us ho used to do. It is something -
) thing , indeed , to huvo irindo himself the
arbiter of Europe , but it is a sad to for
swear cigars and bo reduced to u soli-
II tary egg for breakfast see Motloy's
| i letter from the ITotol du Nerd at Ber
lin , August 1 , 1872. Ho has been reproached
preached with unworthy jealousy , and
doubtless there is something in the
charge. Wo might suggest similar ex
amples of that nearer homo , in men
standing indisputably above their fol
lows , who habitually displav short
sighted envy of their able and aspiring
inferiors. But it must bo remarked
that while Bismnrck is essentially mas
terful , ho has only risen to his inuoh-
envied ascendency , and maintained il
in circumstances singularly dillleult and
'
delicate , by repressing nil' insubordina
tion with an iron hand. Wo do not defend -
fond bin ruthlessly hunting Count Von
Arnim down , or his apparently tyran
nical persecution of Dr. GoiTckon. Take
it at the best , his conduct in both cases
showed the .worst and weaker side of his
character. But it was all in accordance
with what wo know of him , am"
with the Jlxod principles by which
ho has governed his career. Like
Louis Napoleon , ho believes himself i
man of dosilny , butunliko Louis Napoleon
leon , ho was not absolute master in his
own house , and ho had to practice al
most unexampled patience while nlubo-
rattng and executing the plans ho had
codcoivod. To achieve these , every
Gorman must bo bent to his will , so in
principle ho nuikns examples of recalci
trants , pour encourager los autros. Wo
repeat that wo are not defending him ;
wo are only trying to BOO him as ho in.
Unquestionably the chancellor is a
man , arid what wo should call a goot
follow. When nature gave him a greai
brain , alio gave him at the same time a
splendid physique , with an iron consti
tution , on which to toll the truth , ho
lias drawn most recklessly. Somewhat
over six foot in height , one of the
greatest of his minor griefs has boon
his growing corpulence. When ho
wants speed and safety and endurance
combined , it is hard to llnd a horeo to
carry him. Ho is the typo of ono o
those sturdy Pomeranian grenadiers
whoso bones ha grudges to foreign quar
rels. It la fitrunge how those si in
Gorman students whom wo BOO leading
'
lioumlti In'lonshcH us tall and lanky as
themselves , about the university towns
swell into square built man when the ;
Bottle into steady habits. Wo romom
per visiting the fortress of Spanlluu
during the Franco-Gorman wur , when
the French prisoners wore boiup
marched out for exorcise under guari
f of ft Gorman soldier or two. The broad
i \ feliou dorod , deep-cheated Pomoraniai
prUrundonburghor stood out consuicu
buely from the blight and wiry French
nonho had In charge. In solidity rather
.linn . by stature. In depth ol chest ns
n breadth of beam , if wo may borrow
n nautical phrase , Bismarck is a noble
specimen of the Pomeranian. Educated
it private schools and under the eye of
in anxious mother , ho only began to
aiinch out in indiscretions when his
constitution was formed and his frame
veil-knit. Then , it is true , ho gave
limsolf the freest swing , and for many
years with delusive impunity. It is
itrnngo to speculate on what the future
of Europe might have been if Bis-
nnrck's stomach and uljrcstlvo pow
ers had not been as vigorous as
lis brain. Though In after
years an excessively heavy
voight , ho has always boon a fearless
lorsemun ; hut ho and his horse often
came to grief or parted company , nnd
on ono occasion ho broke throe of his
; 'ibg. Twice lie narrowly escaped with
tils life , which he came to believe had
joen preserved for providential pur
poses , lie told the stories himself ,
talking to Count Hutzfcld at Versailles.
Trio first time was whnn "I was on the
road homo with my brother , and wo
ivcre riding homo as fast as tno horses
would go. Suddenly my brother , who
was a llltlo in front , heard a frightful
: raclc. It was my head which was
cuockcd on the road. " Happily , though
the saddle was broken , the head was
only stunned. The other trouble of
iuli ho spoke was even moro serious.
"I was riding fast through youngbrush-
wood in a grunt forest. I wanted to got
on by a near cut riirhl through the
wood , but 1 fell with my horao and lost
consciousness. I must have lain there
throe hours or BO , insensible , for it was
trotting dark when I woke up , * * *
I must have stumbled forward fifteen
paces , when I came to the ground nnd
tumbled over the root of a tree. When
the doctor examined the hurls , ho said
it was contrary to all professional rules
that I had not broken my neck. "
Pistol practice was perpetually going
forward in Bismarck s houses generally -
ally in the garden , but sometimes , in
his wilder days , within doors. His secretary -
rotary and Bosswoll , Moritz Busch , re
lates among the practical , jokes that
used to bo played at Schonhausen , that
tmesis who had gone to bed after a
heavy supper , wore wont to bo awak
ened by pistol shots that shattered the
plaster over their pillows. It is notori
ous that "mad Bismarck" took a high
degree in the art of fencing at Gotlin-
cren. His biographer , Ilcsckicl , tails a
dramatic story of his breaking ground
by provoking the simultaneous chal
lenges of four Hanoverians , which re
minds us of d'Artagnnn ' nnd the "Three
Musketeers. " Ho was not sure as to
how ho ought to proceed , but thought
ho would be safe in flinging a "dummo
Fungcr" in their faces. However , a
friend of the Hanoverians , who lived in
the house with Bismarck , "had seen
that ho was of the stuff of which good
student chums are made , and induced
his companions to revoke or to receive
suitable apologies. " Novortholessin his
first throe terms ho fought upward of a
score of duels , and ho is said to bo rather
boastful of the indelible scar left on his
cheek by the breaking of an antago
nist's sword-blade. Ho is a , powerful
swimmer , and proved it once when ho
saved the life of his proem , who had
slipped into the water. Bismarck , who
wore the heavy uniform of the Land-
wehr , throw off his saber and cast him
self into the lake. Hampered in the
grasp of the drowning man , ho had a
hard struggle to reach the shore.
Thorn was an excited crowd looking on ,
but no ono dared to come to bis help.
Nothing but pluck and great bodily en
durance could have pulled him through ,
and the incident created such a sensa
tion that the king formally bestowed
upon him a sort of humane society's
medal. Wearing the decoration at a
state ceremony , he was asked what it
meant by a foreign diplomatist , who
was glittering with medals and orders.
"It was given mo for saving a life , "
said Bismarck , contemptuously answer
ing the sneer ; "it is u habit I some
times have. "
There is no denying his personal cour
ago. Ho was repeatedly under heavy
lire , both in the Australian and the
French campaigns , showing himself as
cool in the saddle as if ho had been sit
ting in his cabinet. Though wounded
once in an attempt on his life , nnd al
ways with reasonable cause for appre
hension , ho iiovpr took precautions
against assassination. "In Grand Pro ,
too"says Busch , "tho chief showed that
ho had no fear of any murderous attack
upon his person. Ho wont about freely
in the narrow streets of the town with
out a companion , in places whore he
was quite liable to bo attacked , " The
fact being that , with his profound faith
in his destiny , ho fancies himself im
mortal till his work is done. Ho is un
doubtedly superstitious. Ho disliices sit
ting down to dinner with a party ol
thirteen : ho has attributed many minor
misfortunes to having undortalion im
portant work on Friday , and lip is said
to believe firmly in prognostications
which fortoll the year of his death.
Oh the other hand ho is sincerely
pious , though his belief or his unbelSel
has been changing , through successive
transitions from free-thinking to broad-
thinking. There is an odd medley of
the- pious and the sentimental , the phy
sical and the metaphysical , in a lettoi
written to his wife from Frankfort in
the summer of 1851. "Ono Saturdaj
'
evening I wont with Rochow and Lyna'i
to Rudeshoim , I then took a boat ,
wont out on the Rhino , swam in the
moonlight , oyea and nose only aboov
the water , to the Rat Tower near Bin-
gen , whore the bad bishop met his end.
There is something strangely dreamy
in lying on the water on a still night
slowly driven by the stream , seeing the
heavens , with moon and stars above
nnd on either hand the wood-cappcc
mountains and city spires in the moon
light , without hearing anything but
one's own splashing. I should like to
swim like that every night. I then
drank some very decent wine , nnd sni
for a long time smoking with Lynar on
the balcony , the Rhino beneath us.
My small testament and the starry night
led to some conversation on Christian
ity , and I shook oarnnstly at the Rous
seau-like virtue of his soul , only reduc
ing him to ullonco. " That nigln
ho passed in the house o :
the doctor of Duohory , before
the memorable interview with the
French Emperor , of the books ho wus
in the habit of reading before going to
bed , ono was soon lying1 on the Hoer o :
his chamber and the other on the table.
They were "The Daily Watchwords of
the Moravian Brethren , " and "DaiU
Refroshmontjfor Believing Christians. '
Ono evening at Forrloros ho remarked
to Prince Furstontoiu , "If I wore no
longer a Christian I could not remain
for an hour at my post. If I could no
count upon my God , assuredly I couli
not do so upon earthly masters , " It
was easy for the Frouchmon , who natur
ally detested him , to WHOOP at thoexcon-
trio and inconsistent Christianity of the
man of blood and iron. From the days
of Joshua and Moses downwards , these
who believed themselves the ohosoi
servants of the Lord or ministers of his
Providence , have always wielded the
sword ruthlessly with a clear con
faotoncno ; witness Cromwell's dispatches
to the parliament after the sacl
of Drogheda , when the Ironside
who poured into the place through the
breaches , assuredly did not do the work
negligently , and spurodneither ago no
sex. Bismarck hud always doomed , i
neat merciful to take the most summary
methods with his enemies ; determined
on arriving nt hla ends , ho 1ms sought
, ho shortest nntlis. As to the formida-
> lo forces of his own countrymen which
10 called into the field , ho was always
nero clmrry of their lives than the
itrntogists nnd professional soldiers.
lo condemned Stolnmotz who was
afterwards cashiered from his command
after the fonrful fighting around Motz ,
'as a blood-spondlhriftj ' and ho tlls-
.inguishod . between the bloody battles of
, ho Kith of August , when the French
lad lo bo kept back at any cost , and
, ho more sanguinary engagements on
the 18th at St. Privat , when tha flower
of the Guard was wantonly sacrificed.
It would seem that Prof. GofTckon
was much mistaken in saying there is
10 redeeming touch of softness about
Bismarck. On the contrary , ho strikes
us as sympathetic with the sympathy of
llio strong for the strong , and as deeply
impressionable. Wo know that Ills
nerves are Unholy strung , and that de
pression cornea with the reaction after
excitement. Wo have scon the senti
mental mood to which lie abandoned
liimsolf when drifting down the Rhino
in the glimmer of the moonlight. The
iottors written to his wife in the
course of his diplomatic wanderings
abound in dcligntful descriptions of
scenery , and are rich in local coloring.
Wo have a panoramic scries of the most
fascinating pictures of the snow peaks
of the P.yroness , of the dismal Russian
wastes and the dark Scandinavian for-
Ojfta , of the surf off Nordnornoy and the
cliffs of Bad-Gnstcin. Above all , ho has
surpassed the best of the brilliant Hun
garian painters in depicting a midsum
mer drive on the dusty Danubiau plains ,
among the sun-brownod peasants , the
muting cattjo and the market carts
aden with the luscious watermelons
and the produce of a semi-tropical irri
gation. A fond husband and affection
ate father , no man moro delights in
the domestic life , and his grandchild
ren are oven greater pots than his dogs.
Naturalist Aeasslz Has n Klght.
The famous naturalist missed one
morning throe snakes ho had brought
homo the night before , says the author
of Recollections of Court and Society.
On searching high and low ho found
two , but ono wus still missing. Airs.
Agassi/ ( who was dressing ) , in putting
on her boots , found it coiled inside her
boot.

Her screams of surprise brought
Agassi ? , who exclaimed : "Oh. Lixxeo.
how torreeblo it might have been. "
"What " said his wife "aro
, , they poi

little serpents you can think so rare
and you might have crushed the nice

Shaken Ijikc a Leaf
By the most trivial causes , weak nerves
are easily susceptible of iuvigoration , a term
which also imports , in this instance , quictunu.
The nervous have but to use Hostctter's
Stomach Hitters systematically to overcome
that of the human
super-sensitiveness senso-
rlum , which is subversive of all bodily com
fort ami mental tiMtiquillty , and which re
acts moat hurtl'ully upon the system. The
difllcultv underlies this , as well as many
ether ajlmuuts , is imperfect assimilation , no
less than incomplut6 ill-rest ion of tli'j food
In the disdmrKu of both the dfpuslivo ar.d
assimilative functions , Iho bitters nro the
most' potent , the most roliublo auxiliary. As
the body regains vijjor and regularity by Its
aid , the brain and nervous system are also
fietioHtteil. Persons subject to the influence
of malaria , dyspeptic and rheumatic Invalids ,
and pcrsoiiH whoso kidneys are inactive ,
should also use the bitters.
The Bout Iluisca
Sneaking of remarkable incidents , I
can tell you one that I have never seen
equalled , although it occurred more
than half a century ajro , says a writer
in the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. . The
steamboat Charleston was on a trip
from Louisville to St. Louis with a big
cargo of salt in barrels. When just
below Grand Tower , on the Mississippi ,
she came in contact with a hidden ob
struction. While they wore preparing
to put her afloat again , after being at
the bottom of the river a day and night ,
she popped up with surprising sudden
ness with her deck to the lop of the
water. The salt in the barrels stored
on her molted when it came in contact
with the water , and the buoyancy of
the barrels raised the boat to the sur
face.
Colonel Sncparil.
Colonel Shepard , the roliurious
millionaire editor of the Mail and Ex
press , is still having a hard time of it
in this wicked city , says a New York
dispatch. Last evening's Commercial
Advertiser says editorially : "In two
short weeks Elliott F Shepard has been
accused , first , of stealing , by the World ,
which furnished proof ; second , of lying ,
by the Times ; third , of not being u
Christian , by the Evening Post ; and
fourth , of being a 'boodlo politician , '
by the World of yesterday. To-day a
big delegation of Colonel Shepard's
wealthy neighbors made a formal pro
test against the erection of u big stable
the colonel has begun building. "
