M. Theirs, in conversing recently with an
American ntleman on the characteristics OF
the late Louis Napoleon and Bismarck, said:
'sBismarck as dplomatist has had his
schemes, and plots and str tagems. But in
the man he seems to have been distinguished
by certain brutal frankness. It was this
startling and unusual quality which deceived
men like Napoleon I'LL, men who, never
meaning what they said, were quite over
powered aud amazed to find that Bismarck
did mean what he said. 1t is because the
German chancellor has not been conspira-
tor that, dealing with conspiratols, he has
gained his astonishing success"

A "REMINISCENCES OF A NOTED CRIME.
A New Hampshire correspondent of
the Springfield Republican writes
Who does not remember the trial OF
Albert j. Tirrel for the murder of Maria
Bickford of Boston, twenty-eight years
ago, when Rufus Choate, the counsel for
Tirrel, spoke twenty-four hours, by his
marvellous eloquence gaining the aequit-
tai of the murderer, all the time know
ing that he was barbarously guilty ITO
the shame of Choate be it said The
husband of the unfortunate woman, who
loves her still faithfully, has been the
subject of inquisitive interest in West
Conway, where he formerly resided. He
treasures every article he could ever re-
gain belonging to her, even to the white
slippers besmeared with her blood, and
those are packed in a large box and
trunk with her wax statue, which he
purchased from a travelling Mrs. farley.
Over these musty things he will pore for
hours, and is always glad to display them
or talk of her, for the trouble cut deep
and left permanent traces observable to
any one. He has most of her letters,
for she kept up correspondence with
him in the midst of her SHINING, to which
he responded hoping always to win her
back. In one letter she expresses her
wish to return if he will allow her the
companionship of Albert Tirrell. In
spite of his ipfatuation, he refused the
shameless request At last, wearied with
sin sheprepared to return unencumbered
To prevent it, Albert j. Tirrell crept
into her room at night, found her sleep
ing and cut her throat. Over this hel
husband constantly laments, saying tha
if he had gone after her she would no
have been murdered, as he could hav,
protected her. They had one child
which fortunately died, but the bah.
shoes and triukets are preserved witt
her things.

FED BY RAVENS. The Laconia

incident
We are told of one of old who was
fed by ravens, but we had not supposed
until within few days, that the miracle
would be duplicated in this age. A few
days since a we'll known citizen, then
then living near the Wiers, was quite
sick. and diet Of partridge was recon
mended, to procure which, son of the
sick man travelled the woods in all d.
rections, without success, and returned
home disappointing the household. Very
soon hawk was seen flying over with
something struggling in his claws, and
that something proved to be q nice, fat
partridge, wounded but not dead, that
while over the door yard of the sick
mans house,got free of the hawks claws
and came tumbling down at the very
door where he was needed. The time
was when such an event would have
been accounted miracle, now it only
happened 80"

few of them who have made it point
to correct such, except to amend the

lucky however, there lives man who,
having no objection to the main state

in a local paper relating to himself, was
rather sensitive in regard to the details,
and wrote to the editor as follows:

AN AWFUL ATMOSPHERE The high
est peaks of the Sierras, Gray's Peak,
may well be called the home of the
thunder. On account of its great hight
it attracts the clouds, which almost dali
ly gather round its head and burst upon
it, SO that sometimes it tries the nerves
of the boldest to run the gauntlet of
these storms. At such times the whole
mountain seems charged with electricity.
Several who have been caught there at
such moment have told how it shot
through them like needles it buzzed
through their heads like bees; they
could hear it whistle like gale through
the rigging Of a ship. The guides, being
more accustomed to such things, are less
terrified, but tourists are sometimes par
aIyzed with terror, if not with the shock,
and fall to the ground unable to move.
Even the guides sometimes think it a
matter Of prudence TO throw themselves
flat upon their faces, SO as not to pre-
sent point for the lightning to strike.
The poor brutes taught by dumb instinct
turn their heads from the storm and let
it beat. If a party were caught on the
summit in snow storm, it is probable
that they would perish. In the blind
ing drifts it would be impossible to find
the path, and no mortal strength could
hold out for many hours.

THAT CHESTER ITEM.-That Chester
incident of $40 years ago" and which
is now doing good duty in promoting the
ambition Of young men of the present
day, to good and extraordinary deeds Of
valor, is probably explained by the fol-
lowing:
Forty years ago an old man now liv-
ing in Gambia, N. H., then young man
living in Chester, n H., working at his
trade "a cooper, saw a young woman
sitting on stone by the wayside, weep
ing bitterly. He kindly inquired her
trouble, and she told him she was trying
to get from Boston to her home some
where in New Hampshire. She bad
walked the distance thus far, was tired,
hungry and moneyless. The young man
took her to his boarding place, and had
her taken care of for the night, fed and
rested, and the next day gave her money
to pursue her journey. Years rolled
away, bringing with them care, labor
and eventually old age to the man, while
the girl prospered, married and became
wealthy. Recently she died in New
York, leaving fortune of $4,000 to b.
divided between four individuals, thi
same man who befriended her 80 Ions
ago being one Of the fortunate parties.
