Anecdotes OF prince bismarck.

Correspondence New York Tribune.l
Although Bismarck is comparatively
young, and has not been more than ten
years prominently in the public eye,
there is already floating on the surface
of German gossip large number of
anecdotes illustrative Of his character.
Some Of these are too coarse to be put
in print, and are net oreditable to the
Prince himself Others are forged or
magni6ed bv the Aatterers by whom q
powerful man is always surrounded. But
many are at once characteristic and
AMUSING, and are invaluable to him who
wishes 70 study thoroughly one of the
foremost statesmen of the country.
1t appears that Bismarck vas sent to
Gottingen rather than 10 Heidelberg or
Jena because his mother thought his
sybaritic qualities would find less en-
couragement at ths former place. At
the University he seems TO have ooprted
and won the reputation Of the college
bully. He could fight more duels, drink
more vine, and pay fewer bills than any
Of his colleagues. He was graduated,
therefore, with no very enyiabie pros
poets for his future. In the course Of
time he finished bis law studies, and
was admitted to the city courts of Berlin
as AHscnlfdfoT, which is the first degree
IN German barrister's career. His
first term in this capacity furnishes
an anecdote which shows the ready wit
OF the incipient attorney. One day

A SCENE FOR A STUDY.


White Law the snow over roof, over wold-
While hung the moon in the frosty sky;.
And huddled sheep that crouched in the fold,
Wore the white raiment dropped from on
But n little window, rustic and old, "
CLEANED cheerily red on the wanderers nigh.
A painter passed on his way. that night.
"What a scene for study" the painter
Fairly glimmers that ruby light.
Icicles fringe it from caves o erhead
moon. thou art ghostly! 0 world, thou art
I'll look in at the window all warm and red
So he looked-kut whatever his eyes might see,
His pencil told not, his lips were dumb.
/ might guess, but VINO would listen to meT
And the days of the painter have told their
sum. 80.
Would you know. you must wait till your soul
And you two meet in the world to come.
Here is the study the painterwrought:
A little way off that window glows,
And the prints of children's feet arc brought
Up TO the doorway. athwart the SHOWS.
And the moOnbeam falls like an alter thought
And silvers their pathway who now repose.
Cold shows the world and the skyround about,
And warm breaks that ruddy light between;
OF the painter' 8 thought i need not doubt,
For long like his study his life had been;
Ah, long time his lot was u. walk without.
From the one light apart, in q uintefy scene.
But hope. whore the white flakes frcezs nc
ihope, where winter is over and gone,
For the cold of the night that went before
He almost forgets how he made his moan;,
And almost forgets how they had closed the
door, rs =,
And doomed him to walk in the world

in court, while the clerk was making
out some papers, the noisy conversation
of lawyer interrupted the work to
such an extent that Bismarck jumped
up angrily aud shouted Sir, conduct
yourself better, orI will throw you out
the door" The presiding judge mildly
interposed with the remark, Be calm
sir, the throwing out business belongs to
me. Bismarck sprung again to his
feet and thundercd to the offending law
yer: "Sir, behave yourself, or / will
cause the judge to throw you out the
door" There was silence thenceforth
in court. At the same epoch Bismarck
was presented in court, and the event
gave the present Emperor, then Prus-
sian prince, an occasion for afclever
bon-mot. Bismarck was presented in
company with another Auscultator, like
himself giant in stature. The Prince
stared at them a minute, and said:
well, it seems that Justice selects her
servants by the same standard with
which Frederick William chose the
Prussian guardsmen.'
1t will be recollected that during the
late war an infant was once found in
Bismarck's bed at Meaux. Many yer.
sions of the story and of the note left
with the child have been published, but
Prussian journalist has lately given
what he affirms to be the facts in the
case. The Chancellor occupied little
chamber looking out on garden, which
in its turn opened upon the street. Re-
turning to his room late one night the
latter heard the noise of a child in his
bed and the attendants who were called
in discovered the little intruder. The
note found at the same time contained
these words Ny husband fell at Sc
dan; | have no food, aud despair has
driven me to sacrifice my child. His
name is Vincent" A council of war,
hastily summoned, decided that the
child should be sent to Berlin, The
Chancellor was the object of good deal
of fun on the part of his colleagues, but
he stood it we'll The French negotia-
tions gave rise to many characteristic
incidents, some of which have not been
generally published.
The following story doubtless had a
grave political bearing, and will interest
somebody in Richmond, Va: A frm
in that city lately sent the Prince a
quantity of fine smoking tobacco, and
he replied in an autograph letter Of
thanks, in which he assured the givers
that he would "use it only to fill the
pipe of peace" Bsmarck's opinion on
the Austrian experiment of dualism is
worth repeating, though it was expressed
with metaphorical reserve. AT the con-
ference of Salzburg an Austrian politi-
clan asked the German Chancellor what
he thought of their new movement.
Bismarck replied, Il know nothing about
your affairs, but it seems to me that you
are in the position of the owner of fiery
horses who knows not how to manage
them. Now, in politics as in horseman-
ship, do not hesitate to say that one
makes the journey more safely and
speedily with one four-horse team than
with four one-horse teams

Riding and Riding Gear i'm Chill

From the Lond0D f1eld.I Ma Ma
The gear of Chill horse is one Of the
most curious looking arrangemepts in
the world. The bit is composed Of fat
piece of iron which rests on the horse S
tongue and against the roof Of his
mouth; at the end of this is hole,
through which is passed massive iron
ring, about four inches in diameter,
which encircles the lower jaw; in front
of the mouth another fiat iron ring is
placed, to which the reins are fastened.
The whole nffair weighs about five
pounds, and is sufficiently powerful to
break horses Jaw with a sudden jerk.
The reins are formed of finely plated
hide, and are of about the thickness of a
fore6nger; there are only two and they
are Joined together just above the grip
OF the hand. They terminate in long
lash (chicote) about four feet long, at
the tip of which there is ball of lead
sewn up in the leather. When not re-
quired for use this chicOte is curled
round the near-side of the rider, and
hangs down on the off flank of the horse.
OF course, as may be readily imagined,
il is a formidable weapon in skillful
hands;fa a man not on the lookout is fire.
quently Knocked clean off his saddle by
a blow on tie head with the ball at the
end
The saddle is a queer affair. In the
first place, six or seven sheepskins are
placed on the horses back, one on top
Of another; leather strap is passed
round these, and firmly secured; q skel-
eton saddle, or rather piece Of wood with
cantle at each end, is then placed on,
and on the top Of this any number of
sheepskns, finished off, if the owner is
swell" by a foxskin, or some other
valuable fur. Sometimes as many as
seventeen or eighteen skins may 20 to
make up a montura. The four corners
are kept down by broad leather straps,
ornamented with silver buckles, to enable
the rider to wedge himself in. The stir
rups are made of two huge pieces OF
hard wood, with hole halfway through,
and frequently weigh five pounds or six
pounds piece. once had the curios-
ity to weigh a montura of a well-to-do
huaso; it weighed sixty pounds more or
less and yet this was by no means an
uncommonly large one.- When the rider
is in his saddle, all his legs are concealed
by the sheepskins, and viewed from be-
hind, clad in poncho and an enormous
straw hat, he presents one of the most
laughable objects in existence.
OF cousre, nearly all their feats of
craftsmanship are due to their using
such powerful bits, the comparative
smalness of the horse, and the almost
impossibility of getting thrown from
such saddle. When the horse does
come down, the rider is almost invaria-
bly, seriously injured through getting en-
tangled and mauled in the struggles of
the animal. They are good riders, as
far as sticking on goes; but of pace
and of nursing horse they haven't the
faintest notion. The best rider in Chill
that is, among the natives--couldn't
take the best horse in England two miles
over a fair country; he would simply
pound him in the first halfmile..
