We Gull from DIR. Moritz Busch's interesting work
"Count Bismarck and His People," some additional
anecdotes and epigrammatic sayings. which will COM
pete already full abstract of this much discussed
book.
Bismarck's hollow pretencs of despising public
opinion, expressed through the daily press. has
already been exposed in the extracts hitherto given
There probably never was great statesman who
busted himself much manipulating the press
down to its pettest details Bismarck. He was
much pleased with the appearance Of Saxon reg-
mcnt, and 50 he says to Dr. Busch :--'They seem to
be quick, clever boys ana that ought to be set forth
in the papers," The least attractive part of these
memoirs, though BY means occupying the smallest
space is that which refers to personal incident pre-

tion is always personal, referring either to him
self or to others. The personal incidents recorded
in the book are numberless. From his student days

Bismarck thought General Stenmetz the "slaugh-

conspicuous position, near the Presidents chair 80
that everybody might have good view of him.
Then Steinmetx also affected great attention to the
proceedings and always had paper before him
which he continuously jotted down his notes. "He
thought the papers would take notice OF all this aud
praise his zeal. and 1t turned out that he not
mistaken"
At Mars la Tour an officer who hsa isesn sitting
wayside stone was reported to have been killed by
the French. At dinner there is discussion whether
he was shot stabbed. Bismarck says that if he
had to choose between the two modes Of death he
would much rather be stabbed than shot. It may be
remarked here that nearly all of Bismarck converse
ton occurred at the table. 1t required the nspira-
ton OF good dinner the bottle to make him talk
ative Bismarck gives extraordinary for not
wishing to destroy Paris when some Of his dinner
companions zcalously advocate the ruin of Babel
He thinks that Paris should be preserved, be it only
to the property of the Germans and especially
of his countrymen from Cologne and Frankfort who
had settled there.

DR.. Busch relates the following incident which
shows how contemplate and uninanly French war;
rors could be in venting their impotcnt rage upon
Bismarck:-During the hrst part Of the campaign
French cuirassers in Cermont celebrated their antic
pated victory the Germans by dressing up
great cur in woman's clothes, calling him Bis
marck. pinching his TAIL and then when he
barked and whined calling out That's Bsmarck's
language" The cuirassiers danced with the dog
and then led him in festive procession through the
place amid Of laughter and shouts Of applause
Two weeks after Bismarck stood the very spot on
which they had sought to ridculc him by likening
him to cur as the victor and conqucror.
Bismarck was often interrupted by people talking
outside his door, Ordinary noises don disturb me-"
he said emusic the rumbng of wagons don't
interfere with me, but hear people talk

about. and lose the thread of my thoughts" 1t is
evident that Bismarck would not do for newspaper
