President his bell the protests Of the House and the
opposition Of public opinion alike. In the year.

BISMARCK Az 4 DIpIoMArsr.
His diplomatic life dates from the summer Of the
1851. He had long given up that vcncnton or as he
himself expressed IT, elaboration Of Austria which
no had imbibed with his mothers milk This feel
ing had been replaced by tho conviction thar Prussia
could not uldl Its mission In Germany until Austria

opposition including Horr Won Usruh. and his diplo-
matte action at Frankfort did indeed chiefly con-

possible occasion. Hc was the last man to be nwed
by the st bearing Of Count Rechbcrg and tho scenes
he had with HIM were not less riquant In their
way than his former encounters with herr Won vncke
