Bismarcks attitude in Parliament had
been much noticed at court. The King,
Frederick William ", had taken great lik-
ing to the ,ju'eker, and when the post of Prus-
sian minister at Frankfort became vacant, he
thought Of Offering 1t to Bismarck He was
rather surprised, however, when the latter,
without asking time for reflection, declared
himself ready to accept the Kings proposal.
But you are aware that it is very difficult
post and it involves great responsibility ?"
said the King. "Your majesty may at all
events give me chance" replied Bismarck;
"if do not succeed can be recalled at any
time" The position which he at once as
sumed at Frankfort created considerable as
tonishment there Austria was at that time
the ruling power in the bundesrath and the
minor German States not only suffered this,
as being legitimate and unavoidable, but they
actually favored the pretenslOns OF Austria;
for they saw in the house OF Hapsburg their
natural protector against the Hohenzollern.
The last representative of Prussia at the
bund had not been able to resent this, and
had quietly consented to play an humble sec
ond part, Count Thun, the Austrian minister,
and president of the bund, being unmistaka-
bly, No. /. This had gone so far that Bis
marck's predecessor had, like his colleagues,
allowed Count Thun to be the only member to
smoke during the committee meetings. No

of his pocket, asked Count Thun, to his
amazement, for light, and puifed away
freely long after the Austrian minister had
thrown his cigar away. 1t was but a trif1e
but that trihe required more courage than
any OF his colleagues possessed, and Bismarck
acquired thereby personal position which
his predecessor had never enJoyeu.-l Black

A Stamp-COllection Story.

Some time in October an aged lady
in New York City, finding herself with
out the means to procure the necessa-
ries of life, made application to various
persons for assistance in obtaining adj
mission to the st. Luke's Home for
Women in that city. One gentleman to
whom she applied asked her if she was
willing to make great effort to obtain
the desired end She replied that it
was not much that she could do, but her
will was good and she would try. The
gentleman then replied: eff you will
collect one million of old postage stamps
| will give you the $500 needed to obtain
admission to the Home" The old lady
was at first discouraged. However, as
she was a person of much energy and
courage she went to work in earnest.
She first sought the assistance of some
friends of better DAYS, and was fortunate
id finding two ladies noted for their
energy in works of charity, Mrs. Glib
bins and Mrs. Halstead, of New York,
who promised to aid her. Their plan
was as follows: To call at many of the
offices in the city and ask that all the
stamps on the letters received might be
saved. Mrs. Gibbins also wrote to the
wife of Mr.. f. G. Champney, the artist,
of this city, requesting her assistance.
Mrs. Champney at once began work.
She informed her friends of the scheme
and requested their assistance.
The enthusiasm with which this idea
was received was wonderful. Children
began to watch for letters that came to
their houses with almost as much impa-
tience as any lover watches for dainty,
perfumed notes. Men and women on
receiving letters would proceed to cut
off the stamp before reading the epistle.
From hundreds the number became
thousands and tens of thousands. Last
week all that was wanted to complete
the amount was $4,000. On receiving
the contributions from various sources
this week it was found they had 1,005,
600, and on informing the gentleman
who takes the stamps of the fact he Of
fered TO give another free bed in DR.
Burghart's Hospital for second mil
lion, the bed to be disposed of by Mes
danes Gibbins and Halstead to the most
deserving person known to them.
On being informed that her home for
life was insured, the lady expressed her
gratitude to the kind friends who had
assisted her. Although having had the
assistance of many, the lady has gath
cred by her own personal efforts over
100000 stamps in the past 10 weeks, or
an average of $4,000 in week, or 1000
in day. The stamps on being re-
ceived were counted and tied up in pack
ages of 100 each, and then 10 of these
packages were tied together, and in
this form they were sent to the gentle
man who has agreed to furnish the
money. What final disposition was to
be made of the stamps was for a long
time a matter of much curiosity. 1t
was at last ascertained that they are to
be sent to Europe to be used in the man
ufacture of papier-mache goods, the pa
per of which the stamps are made max
ing them very desirable, and the mucil-
age also adding to their strength. The
LOCO, 900 stamps, packed in the manner
described, fill an ordinary Saratoga
trunk. Boston Post.

Welded at Last.

A gentleman from WaXahachie, now
visiting in our city, informs us that con-
siderable excitement was created in the
social Circle Of his town last Wednes-
day, by the marriage of Mr., Nicholas
Sims, wealthy farmer of Ellis County,
aged seventy, to Mrs. Dunlap, an es-
teemed lady of WaXahachie, of some
sixty summers. In the State of Tennes-
see they had in the days of childhood
lived together; in youth had loved with
all the feryor of the hearts first passion,
and when grown, rumor says, plighted
their faith but the pledge was broken
and, the lovers separated. n The lover
married another, whose death he mourn
ed several years ago. The lady twice
bowed at the bridal altar, and twice has
wept over the grave of aideparted hus-
band. After forty years they met in
this distant State, and, though his form
has lost its youthful pride and vigor,
and her once rosy cheek and sparkling
eye have somewhat faded, the love of
former days is aroused from its long
slumber, and at the residence OF DR..
Sweat, the brides son-in-law, in the
presence of few old friends, the broken
pledge is fulfilled. Such a remarkable
renewed of anAearly attachments seldom
found, and challenges even fiction for
an equal. Time, we learn, has dealt
kindly with the couple, and they look as
though they may yet enjoy many happy
days of welded bliss.-DdIlas (7eGas)

Since that time (the 18th inst nothing
definite has been ascertained of their
operations or Intentions. Not a single
American is left in the town, all having
fled to this place. The rangers, of
course, feel very bitter because of the
rough treatment they have received.
The Meoicans claim that they wanted
nothing but Howard, and him they
would have, cost what it might. He
had killed Candis, their best friend.
There can be no doubt that many of the

A Very Smart Horse.

The New York FGremen'S Journal
says: Engine Company No. II of this
city has horse that knows the stations
on which the company perform duty.
He shows it in this way: Whenever the
gong sounds an alarm he runs to his
place and snaps his pole-strap to ring
in strap for that purpose. Upon the
sounding of the gong for other stations,
striking more that two blows, if the man
on house patrol does not stop him, he
will pull the bunk-room gong, and as
the men come tumbling down stairs he
will neigh with satisfaction at having
turned the men out of their beds. When
returning from the house to the stable,
if he can get broom, he will sweep his
stall or break the broom-handle and
throw it over the fence into the next
yard. When the gong is sounded and
visitors are present, he will come to his
place limping, as if he was lame. When
he wants drink of water he unloosens
himself and goes to the watering-trough,
turns the faucet, and drinks his fill ;
then he will fill the pail with water and
take it to the other horse, and when he
has finished, if not detected before, he
viii neigh, TO let you know he has done
some mischief. Another peculiarly
about this horse, he will not eat oats on
Friday, nor will he eat feed cut on sun
day. These are only few of the
tricks of this exceedingly intelligent
horse.

Mysteries of the Dead-Letter Office.

1t will be perhaps recOlleeted that two
years or more ago an account was pub
lished in the New York Graphic of a
large number of letters, each containing
50, addressed to Maria H. Russell, sent
to the dead-letter office unclaimed from
New York. These letters were never
applied for by the person addressed, but
the publication of the facts led to sew
eral applications from persons who were
unable to identify them, and to whom,
of course, they were not delivered.
Their contents were finally, under the
law, deposited in the United States
Treasury to the credit of the Post-Office
Department, and the letters placed on
file in the dead-letter office. Upon the
facts being made known to the public
that these letters were unclaimed, the
writer discontinued mailing them, but
had never asked for their return.
A similar case, which has not vet
reached a determination, has just been
developed in the dead-letter Office. Since
1874 letters mailed in Boston from time
to time have been addressed to Catharine
Maxwell, of that city, each containing a
80 bank note. Inc person audreSSeu
not being found, they have from time to
time been forwarded to the dead-letter
office. A request has very recently been
received at the dead-letter office, from
the Postmaster at Boston for the return
of these letters for the purpose of iden-
tifying claimant who has finally APP
peared. They have been accordingly
returned, in the hope the claimant may
be able to establish title to them. The
person claiming is an old lady who has
no idea from whom the letters came, be-
yond supposition that it is case OF
restitution from man who robbed her
son some years ago, and is taking this
means of paying back to the mother, the
son having since died.-WashtngtOn
