Bismarck and His Cigar

During the great war between France
and Germany, Prince Bismarck, "the
man OF blood and iron, was the actor i'm an
incident of most suggestive and gentle
nature. The Prince is said to be a
smoker, ardently attached to'the ''weed. ("
lie is reported to have said: 'The
value of a good cigar is best understood
when 1t is the last you possess, and there
is no chance of getting another " Most
devotees OF tobacco in any form seem to
delight IN their bondage to il, and to be
miserable if deprived of it. 1t is said
that Bismarck had cherished his last cigar
all through battle, in glad anticipation
OF the luxury in store for him, when he
suddenly and gladly deprived himself of
the smoke-giving solace. In his own
words, painted in glowing color in nv
mind the happy hour when i should en-
JOY it after the victory. But had mis-
calculated the chances. A poor dragon

History of the Tea Trade.

The Dutch East India Company
brought the first tea to Europe in i6l6
An Act of Parliament, passed 1860, laid
tax of Is Cd. on every gallon of tea sold
at the coffee houses. Pepys, in his diary,
dated September, 1861, says: "I did
send for cup of Tea Ga Chinese drink,
of which | have never drunk before"
Six years after he says: Home-found
my wife making of Tea, drink which
Mr. Polling, the Potticary, tells her it is
good for her cold" etc. The East India
Company, about this date, directed one
hundred pounds of goode ley" to be
sent to England on speculation. The
price was fifty or sixty shillings the
pound. Two pounds three ounces of the
best tea was not thought an uniting
present from the Company to the King
Now, more than $4,000 tons of shipping
are employed in its transportation, while
it is probably consumed by more than
five hundred millions of persons, as esti-
mated bv good authority.

The improbable in War.


Every man who has ever been in the
thick of a fight knows that, to all appear
ances, the escape of any man so placed is
utterly improbable, if not well nigh inn
possible also Bullets fly around him
thick as hail; shells burst and solid shot
scream around his head for hours. That
some one of the thousand missiles shall
hit him seems to be almost inevitable !;
and yet in very few battles does one man
in ten sustain any sort of harm. The
writer Of this article has seen 13-inch
mortar she'll fall and explode in NOR
tar pit Is feet square, in which eight men
were standing, without doing harm to
any one of them. Ninety-nine times in
hundred such an occurrence would kill
every man so exposed, but in this case
the utterly improbable thing happened
In another case within the writer's
knowledge, a caisson chest, with IS
pounds of powder in it, exploded with
out injuring man who was sitting on it
at the time. improbable things of a
contrary sort happen not less frequently.
To draw still from this writer's observa-
ton, man lying in mortar-pit II feet
deep, lying close to the revetment, too,
was killed by musket-ball which came
from distance of not less than thou
sand yards, and passed through the
mans lungs. 1t had probably struck a
pebble or some other object in front,
which caused it to fly upward, and after
ward to fall behind the high parapet. At
any rate, it killed the man.

DEATH OF BRIGHAM YOUNG
The Great Mormon Prophet and Author
ofPolygamy Gone to His Last Account.
-Biographical

ofPolygamy Gone to His Last Account,
Biographical.
Brigham Young the great leader OF
the Mormon church in Utah, died at 4
o'clock p. NJ, August 18th. His physical
and mental faculties were unimpaired
until the last. 1t is not impossible that
the trial and execution of Lee, and the
alleged exposure which grew out of it,
have had much to do with fastening his
decline. He was born in Vermont in
1901, and was consequently rs years old.
The state of Ohio was the scene of the
great Mormon's first debut in public life,
he having joined the church in 1892
when it was in full sway at Kirkland.
The sect moved later to Nauvoo, Ill.
In 1914, on the death of Joseph Smith he
was chosen president and prophet and
led the emigration from Nauvoo to the
far west in 1916. Having peopled his
Promised Land" with wonderful
rapidity, he organized the state of
Deseret, in 1849, and demanded admis-
sion to the union-an honor which Con
gress very properly declined, organizing
the Territory of Utah in lieu
thereof. Late in 1850 Willard Fill
more appointed Brigham Young
governor of the new territory, which
place he held until ousted, at the point
of the bayonet, in 1858, by Buchanan's
appointee, Alfred Cumming. Since
then he has been content with his spir-
itual rule, though frequently endeavor-
ing to secure the admission of Utah as a
state, in which case the Mormons
would, of course, have secured the gov
eminent, and sheltered their cherished
polygamy under the protection of state
rights.
Brigham Young has had over forty
wives, and his children and grandchil-
dren are numerous beyond mention.
There are twelve apostleships, $50 settle
ments, and the population numbers $780,
000 Brigham was the originator and
keeper of polygamy, and claimed that a
revelation sanctioned it. His death may
end it. Among the claimants for the
presidency is David Smith, son of Joe
Smith, the founder. The Smiths are OPP
posed to polygamy, and favor Mormon
ism as first taught. The twelve apostles
elect the president.

An Amazed Bank Deposition.

In the year 1916 the late James Bid
well, then post-rider from Middletown to
Saybrook, did errands for people living
on his post-route, deposited their money,
collected their bills, etc. He deposited
that year, for gentleman living in a
town down the river, in the Middletown
Savings Bank, the sum of $50. The
gentleman visited the bank for the first
time last Tuesday, bringing his bank
book with the original deposit to have
the interest added to it. Great was his
surprise to find that in thirty-two years
it had accumulated $875.18 interest,
making in all due on his book to May i,
Stops. 1S.-Nec Hapen Palladium.

A Faithful Flagman's Death.
From the Philadelphia Press, August %


Yesterday morning a singularly dis
tressing accident occurred at the railway
crossing at Ninth and Wallace, where
the tracks of the Germantown and Nor
ristown branch of the Reading railroad
enter the depot. Shortly before nine
o'clock, Henry Stout, young man who
has been employed at that point as flag
man for some time, observed man in an
intoxicated condition staggering across
the track. A train was being made up at
the time, and the stranger was in i'm
minent danger. Stout called to the man
to get off the rails, but no attention be-
ing paid to the request, and the cars at
that moment running down rapidly to
the point, he sprang on the track, and
catching the stranger by the arm en-
deavored to push him into a place of
safety. Then ensued scene which can
never be forgotten by those who wit
messed it. The man turning fercely
seized Stout with vice-like grip, and a
struggle began. For a second or two
the men swayed backward and forward,
and then the stranger, being the most
powerful man of the two, dragged the
fagman to the ground and fell himself
just as the cars reached them. For an
instant there was a sickening sound of
crushing bones, and then the mutilated
bodies of the two victims were seen COW
cred with their blood The fagman had
both legs cut off and the stranger had
one arm severed from his body and the
right leg crushed almost the entire
length, and was badly cut about the
head When the miserable man first
grappled with the fagman the spectators
called to Stout to let him go, but the
grip of the man was too deadly. As
soon as the cars were stopped the two
mutilate bodies were taken up and car
ried to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Both
men were frightfully injured and expired
soon after being admitted.

Latest Foreign News.

LONDON, August 81 -Suleiman cannot
drive the Russians out of Schipka and
they do not seem able to convince him of
his inability. This was really the situa-
ton in which the contending forces were
placed when the last intelligence left
the scene of action, though both sides
claim to have obtained advantage. From
some statements it would appear that
the Turkish outposts have reached
Gabrova road, on the northern side of
the Balkans, but these are probably
troops sent by Suleiman around by
Feredisch Pass, and not, as has been
claimed, portion of Mehemet Ais
forces. Nor Is their presence there
OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE,
as the Russian reinforcements have now
occupied a strong line of communica-
tions with Schipka.
At the Russian headquarters it is be-
lleved that the moment is now at hand
Tor an attack upon the Turkish armies
north of the Balkans. An assault upon
Plevna is certainly only matter of
few days, and
