GENEROUS WITH CIGARS
On one occasion bismarck had received present of
cigars and ordered DR. Busch to distribute them
among the wounded soldiers. Dr Busch going
made such pitiful faces as he passed them by. and
their German hospital comrades asked him
esty to give the Frenchmen few cigars, too. that

an excellent man for this sort OF thing" Bismarck
remarked. 'he can be rude igrob in the politest
fashion.
Bismarck heartily despised the German patriotic
clamor for Alsace, based upon union OF and
language. This far too sentimental for the iron
vantages, not because 1t had been part of

steward thrashed because the latter would give

| RIGHT AND WRONG.
The momentous question OF right and wrong is in
cidenally treated by the Prince 1t may be renlem
bered that after the French Emperor taken pris

pleaded for the immediate conclusion Of peace.
Upon this General Vogel caused the well known DR..
Jacoby who had spoken loudest, to be arrested on

country was ut war might imper the safety Of the
nation The republican party being thoroughly in.
significant, the influence attributed to Dr. Jacobys
eloquence was clearly pretext for hitting man
detested by the conservatives and the butt
OF liberals for his many eccentricites. The arrest
created great sensation the right of the govern
fnent to resort to such forcible measures being
pretty unanimously denied by liberal opinion. The
case was freely discussed ia the camp when OF
