his hands behind his back-the officer
with the grayish hair, very short, and a
face cut with many fine lines, his head
slightly stopped, the eyebrows pro-
nounced and the eyes deep setY There
is the man whom the junkers of Berlin
called the old schoolmaster What a
lesson he has taught the Austrians and

There is a stir wherever he goes-caps
touched and hats raised. He makes
straight for a little knot of Americans
General Burnside, in plain clothes, Cen
eral Sheridan, General Hazen and Cen

swords. You hear his laugh above the
murmurs of the crowd and the wave of
sound in which his name, Bismarck, is
borne. How heartily he shakes hands
with them, buoyant and free, elated as
some officer might be who had just won
promotion on a battlefield. All the
world knows the soulless likeness out Of
which even photography has failed, how
ever. 20 take all expression; but one
must have actual experience Of the
peculiar yivacity. or rather penetration
Of his glance as it is emitted from under
those tremendous shaggy eyebrows to
measure the power Of his face-the one
grand, overwhelming force of which is,
to my mind, intrepidity-an immense
audacious courage, physical and mental,
and a will before which every obstacle
must yield or be turned. The people
we're never tired Of looking at him, and
grand dukes and princes were Of small
account as long as he was to be seem
