Bismarck in His Family.

Its really difficult to be struck
with the contrast existing between
Prince Bismarck's terrible reputation
and the patriarchal picture represent
ed by the family Of which he is the
head when he returns home to rest
from the ardent struggle in which he
has so long been engaged. Nothing
is more simple and touching than the
respectful and silent enthusiasm
with which his wife and children sur
round him and the devOtedness they
show him In his family circle he lets
himself be governed by their anxious
tenderness. When he leaves the
table his wife or son brings him his
long clay pipe and lights it for him.
This first smoked, a second, all ready
is handed to him, aad this after
ward gently taken from him without
a third being brought. The Prince
yields to this silent tyranny, which
relieves him of portion of his per
sonaI cares. His son Herbert told
me, 81 have put my father to be bed,
for he, too, you see, ends by being
tired" He is treated, indeed, by his
family as a demigod, cared for as an
infant. On hearing him chat with
his family one is struck by the clear
ness with which he expresses him
self, the grace with which he stoop:
to familiarity, and also by the feel
ing of irresistible force which he in
spires, so that when once he said any
thing it becomes law. Even when h,
unbends the most naturally you are
conscious that he has only to clincl
his fingers to crush an adversary.

Radical Yellow Fever Treatment.

New Orleans Ticcsl
The home of poor washerwoman
on lie street Ga widow and the
mother of four children) was invaded
by the yellow fever, and all Of her
children were attacked within twenty
fours. Having had experience in
nursing yellow fever, she determined
to dispense with the services of a ply
sician, and Immediately administered
the usual purgatives and placed the
little ones in bed, well covered with
blankets.
She succeeded in inducing Persprira-
ton in three Of her patients, but the
fourth and youngest one she could not
manage. The pores remained closed
and the skin dry, She tried every
thing foot-bath, hot drinks
and cold drinks but all her efforts
were unsuccessful.
Stepping into the yard for a mo-
ment, the implements Of her profes-
sion (the wash boiler and tubs met
her view, and instantly thought sug
gested itself to her mind which she al
once acted upon. Procuring a furnace
she started a fire and placed it in the
room, and, returning, half-fllcd the
was boiler with water, placing it OF
the fire. She then took the little ont
from the bed and sat it in the boiler
allowing it to remain there until it wa
nearly parboiled, and then returned
it to its he'd.
A neighbor, who had been told o
her unavailing efforts, asked her hov
the children were. After explaining
her modos opsraadi of inducing pers
piration, she wound up with the re
mark, ''That fetched her." All he
little ones recovered.

A Clergyman's Involuntary Dance.
New York Letter 10 Boston JOurnaI,I

New York Letter 10 Boston Journall
have had, said n well-known cler-
gyman, some very droll experiences.
Among the most exciting was the one
that I will relate. A well-known mcr-
chant was very sick-some thought
nigh unto death. He would. see no
pastor, nor allow anyone to speak to
him on the subject of religion. One
day he mentioned my name, though
he was no acquaintance of mine. He
named me two or three times. At
length his wife asked him if he wanted
me to call. He hesitated for some
time, and then asked his family to send
for me. He added: "Tell him to come
right away" [ obeyed the summons,
was ushered into the sick chamber, ,and
at once recognized the gentleman as
one who had been an occasional hearer
in my church. He greeted me with
great cordiality, and asked that all
should leave the room. He wanted to
speak to me privately. His wife left
with evident reluctance, the man was so
weak that. he could with difficulty turn
in bed. AS soon as the door was closed
he sprang from his bed turned the pa
key IN door, seized me with thestrength
of a giant and said "Now,we will have
nice dance" clasping me about the
body, he in his night-shirt, commenced
to caper round the room, humming in
a low voice, II and my Father are one,
equally in power and glory" He kept
his pace for a full hour, till was near
/ " dead from exhaustion and fright
He was wild maniac. Once l at
tempted to scream. He siezed me by
the throat His eyes flashed fire. He
said he would brain me if l was not
quiet. Round and round he turned,
keeping up the refrain, 81 and my
/ Father are one, equal in power and
glory" Pretending to be pleased, !
suggested that we call in some of the
family to join US. He caught at the
idea. He opened the door to call the
household up, and 1 instantly fed down
stairs, pursued by the mailman. He
was arrested, taken to the mad-house,
and in twenty-four hours died raw

those words repeated without being
thrown into a cold sweat. 1 danced
enough that night to last NE the bal
ance of my life.

Who Are GFCeREackers.

Governor Vance, Of North Carolina,
recently told Il gentleman that the
Greenback Labor Movement Is spread
ing rapidly throughout the South, and
he expressed the opinion that it would
be embraced by the colorcd and
white voter everywhere. He said that
both the old parties are making ad-
vances toward these classes, who con-
prise majority in every State, and he
intimated that the result will be the
breaking up Of the Solid South, and a
re arrangement Of parties without re-
gard to race, on some of the financial
issues, L Exchange.
The Governor will find that it viii
be embraced, also, by the wealth Of
the South, if we can be said to have
any wealth in our country when CON-
pared with the mighty bond-holders.
There Is no danger of the triumph OF
error as reason is left free to combat.
The want that pervades all classes Of
our community; the mortgages upon
our farms: the low price Of cotton and
land; the scarcity Of money; and the
high rate of taxation upon everything
We eat and wear; tell Us, in terms that
cannot be mistaken or misunderstood,
thatour financial system Is rotten to the
core, and the exemption of bonds md
greenbacks from taxation, shows be
yond disputation that the machinery
OF the government Is run in the interest
Of the rich, and is oppressive upon the
poor. The bone and muscle of the
land are made to bear the burdens Of
the Government, and the bondholder
sits idly by and grows fat off Of the
sweat Of his brow, Is drop by drop it
falls from his corded muscles into his
Golfers. I'm arrangement o. parties
without regard to race Is what all right
thinking men desire. 1t is what the
Democratic party has contended for
in the South ever since the war. 4 po-
litical party based upon a color-line,
would produce 4 conflict of races, and
be fraught with consequence most dis
astrous TO our country. We hope
never to see the like again in our day
and generation. Parties should he
organized upon principle, those Of Ike
views assiniiIating, and al striving for
the glory and advancement Of our com
mon country.

For The Bulletin.
A HAPPY HONE.

''Earth's nearest spot to heaven Is a
happy home, where kind words and
pleasant tones are forever heard" l
know not the author Of this language,
but 90 to the ancient or the modern
bard search the writings Of sage or
sophist, if you will, and find a more
beautiful, "a truer thought or expression.
1t is, indeed, among the brightest gems
of thought. I am sometimes led to
think that happy homes are few and
far between. How many could we
find in Hardeman county?
A happy home! Notwithstanding it
is sweet, and, perhaps, a sacred spot,
wealth, honor, fame and ambition,
tear Us away. and send US adrift upon
a wreck-strewn sea, only to yearn and
weep, at last, like the traveller at the
source of the Nile?
One, whose age is now threescore
and ten, has amassed wealth, and ac-
quired learning, but he is not happy.
Though he has always been in search
of happiness, he has not found it, but
has lived 4 life Of slavish toll and
wretchedness. Yes, he has toiled out
his days, "a cold, carc-fretted heart
less man, forgetting the truth that,
Could we call all Europe ours, with In,
dia and Peru,
/ The mind would feel an aching void, an5
still want something new"
and forgetting, also that one can live
nearest to heaven in an humble
happy home!
Af1uence is not required to make g
happy home. It is not poverty, envy
jealousy, pride, hatred-these mar and
destroy the happiness Of home. In
mates Of a happy home! they may
/ possess but little more Of this worlds
goods than did Scotia's honored bard
Winters storms may howl about then
humble hut, what matters il? If the
heart blooms, if pence and lore are
there, it is enough! Let every ont
make haste and possess a happy home
"a home where love abounds. 1t i
Earth's brightest and warmestsPot.
.'With his ice, and snow, and rain,
Let bleak Winter sternly come;
There Is not s,3nnier cline
Than the loye-lit witter home"

An Ast0nished Englishman.

a young Englishman stopped at a
tavern in Tennessee, where he got
into conversation with a native Ten
nesseean. AS usual, he boasted of
English products in comparison with
those of the Yankee. Finally he got
to talking about English cheeses.
He saidit was not uncommon to see
cheeses in England weighing 1 200
pounds each.
"Poohp Exclaimed the Tennes-
seean, "my father keeps a dairy ten
miles from this place, and supplies
all the taverns. He never thinks of
making cheeses ofIess weight than a
ton each"
''You can't put that joke off on
me" said the Englishman, laughing.
''Ask the landlord" said the Ten
nesseean.
The landlord was accordingly ap-
pealed to, when hereplied, 81 never
weighed his cheeses, but know that
the old man runs, at the foot of the
hill on his place, two saw mills which
are driven the whole year around by
the whey which runs from his cheese
presses"
"Will you be so kind as to ordel
up my horse?" quietly remarked the
Englishman.-[ Exchange.

Children and Coffee.

The effects of coffee upon children
are bad. Those who drink it grow
slowly, compared with those who live
on milk, bread and oatmeal mush.
The former have less power to resist
the influence Of disease. They ara
not supplied with matchmaking food.
In health, coffee, properly prepared,
may enable Us to undergo great fatigue,
It Is a safer stimulant in shocks from
serious injuries, than alcohol. 1t Ia
more apt than tea to disagree with
the stomach. We ought to say to
those who cannot get honest coffee,
that an excellent drink may be made
from various materials, anv one of
which may be vastly healthier and
more nutricious. Roast n pint or
more of oats as you would foreign f
fee. Grind it. Pour upon it cold
water and gradually bring it to 4 hoil,
Strain and serve it with milk and su-
gar. In the same way prepare wheat,
barley and coarse maize. To each
add, if you wish to have variety in
flavor, roasted sweet potatoes, or any
aromatic the taste play fancy. The
oatmeal coffee is particularly useful IN

SHALL WE FIND THEM AT THE
PORTALS.

VIII they meet us, cheer and greet us,
Those we've loved, who've gone before?
Shall we find them at the portals,
Find our beautified immortals,
When we reach that radiant shore?
Hearts are broken for some token
That they live and love US yet!
And we ask, "Can those who've left us,
OF loves look and tone bereft us,
Though in heaven, can they forget?"
And we often, as days soften,
And comes out the evening star,
Looking westward, sit and wondery~--
Whether, when so far asunder,

Those who walk with Him in white,
Do they, mid their bliss, recall us?

Those we've loved, who've gone before;
We shall find them at the portals,
Find our beautiful immortals,

A woman went into a barber-shop

ed 10 know how much it would cost to
dye a mans hair and moustache.
The price was named, and she then
asked the barber to get his dye and
follow her.
'Why can't the man come here ?'
asked the barber.
'He's dead" replied the woman.
"and the last thing he said when he
was passing away was, "Sally, fix me
up pretty for the funeral" His hair
curled beautiful, but was little grey.
1t don't look well to see a woman cry

bearded man in it. So l want him

The barber dyed the dead mans
hair in the highest style of the art,
and the widow remarked when all
was over that she was the loveliest

The Origin of Diphtheria.

Diptheria is believed to have origin
ated in Egypt more than 1000 years
ago. 1t prevailed in Egypt and Asia
Minor, to which it extended, during
the first 500 years, and hence was
early called Egyptian or Syriac dis
ease. Having invaded Europe, the
disease appeared in Rome, A. D. $50;
and being akin to the plague, of which
it may be a remote modification, hav-
ing had the same origin, with some
similar characteristics, and being ike
it and Malignant typhus highly con
tagious, the disease, in its 300 years

fected mainly rural districts and gar
risoned towns. 1t had extended tc
Holland, in which II was epidemic, IL

The Lady Of Culture.

Leslie's illustrated Newspaper
The first element Of true culture
IS utility The homely uses of life are
strong body, without which accom-
plishments have nothing to adorn bat
themselves, and are thrown away.
In the swift fuctutions of business and
the terrible reverses which so often
sweep away the best fortunes, none
are safe. 1t is folly for any family to
rear a girl in the lap of indulgence for
life of luxury, when a single wave Of
misfortune may sweep the castle
beautiful away and leave It's inmates
at the mercy of the pitiless clement.
Every girl should be so educated that,
should adversely throw her upon the
world, she would fall like cat, on her
own account. a lady of culture is
one who can use her knowledg and ac-
complishents for her own support in
case of need, and does not feel that
any useful industry is demeaning The
practical must precede and support
the ornamental, and even the orna-
mental should be so thoroughly in
grained that it can be made Of use in
case of need. The worst evils Of mod
ern society will not be got rid Of till
every woman is able to earn an honest
livelihood, and respect every woman
who earns one, whether she is a 'lady
of culture" or not.
