RISMARK,S LAST CIGAR.

Here is a sterling anecdote repoted by
all the papers Of Germany:
At gala dinner he gave lately to the
President Of both houses of Parliament, to
the prominent leaders Of all parties, and
TO the notables Of the capital, cigars were,
at the close of the meal handed round
among the invited gnests Bismark
himselfofered one 10 the renowned General
Moltke, remiding him that this was the
second time he enjoyed this honor, but
the first cigar was far more valuable than
the one he was now offering.
When the tacituTn chief Of staff, by shak
ing his head, declared that he could not
recollect such an act Of friendship, the,minis-
ter declared him ungrateful, and to the high
satisfaction Of the numerous guests, remind
ed him Of the first cigar: "Do you not recol-
lect, dear Moltke, the moment when, on the
third Of July, as we cuirassiers are used to
say, the battle sood still, and the whole
staff, in the most ieverish excitement,
awaited the arrival of the second army
under the command of the Crown Prince ?
observed you, though at a little distance,
in the midst Of the Generals, how with iron
coldness You were looking there on the
fight, and then with the same hopeful eye
explored the left whether you we're not
able 10 discover the vanguard Of the troops
ofthe Crown Prince"
"But they do not come, though eagerly
expected and nay poor diplomatic soul
was agonized by the terrible thought thatin a
few minutes moreall my long and Herculean
labors would have been in vain. And then
| perceived to my horror that you were
throwing away hestump of your cigar Stop
said TO myself, IF he shall be enabled TO save
Us he must not be left without a cigar
ransacked my pocket, took ont the last
stock, one good cigar, and one Of doubtful
taste, and giving the spur to my horse /
was by your side, offering you the choice
Of my entire reserve.
by heavens, you did not look long on
the two cigars, but took the better one and
ignited ii as coolly as you have done
Just now. Your indisturbance, if i
may say SO, restored to me my good humor,
and then the thunder of cannen which soon
reached us from the left electrified US all.
But that you forget such a moment, dear
Moltke, would eIasperate me indeed. But,
gentlemen, by your consent, shall grant
him indemnity, may / noty
General Moltke smiled, but, like your
Grant, remained silent.
This anecdote, which il literally true,
characteriEes Bismark. He too smokes
his cigar, cracks his joke, remains undis-
turbed, and is sure of the final victory Of
his diplomatic SadoWas.

the appreciation of our patrons for this method
of obtaining rich, elegant and costly goods. The

large number of jewelry houses in London and
Paris, obliging them to sell their goods at a
great sacrifice in some instances less than one
third the cost of manufacturing We have lately
purchased very largely of these bankrupt goods,
at such extremely low prices that we can afford
to send away finer goods, and give better chances
to draw the most valuable prizes than any other
establishment doing a similar business. OUR
AIM Is TO PLEASE, and we respectfully So
hcit yolr patronage, as we are confident of Civ
ing the utmost satisfaction. During the past
year we have forwarded a number of the most
valuable prizes to all parts of the country.

value OF their money, as no article on our list Is
worth less than one dollar, retail, and there are
no blanks. Parties dealing with us may depend
