How Bismarck scared Europe.

Mr.. Sumner was in the habit of telling,
with much humor, one amusing incident
in Motley's diplomatic career in Vienna
After the close OF the joint war with Prus-
sia and Austria against Denmark on the
question of the Duchies, Bismarck came
to Vienna to settle the terms OF peace with
the emperor. He arrived too late to go to
the office of the minister of foreign affairs,
and remembering that his old university
chum, Motley, was the American minis
ter, he drove directly to his house, and
found Motley just retiring from the mod
est family dinner, with nothing but
the remains of the dessert on the table.
The old friends cordially Joined hands and
hearts: fresh viands were furnished from
Motley's kitchen and fresh Burgundy from
his cellar, and for hour after hour the old
collegiates went over their student eXpe-.
and frolics at the University of
Berlin, without speaking word about
politics. After cracking his last walnut
and swallowing his last glass of wine,
Bismarck, long after midnight, left Mot
ley's house, and sauntered away whistling
to his hotel. with an immense internal sat
isfactlon at the entertainment he had de-
rived from his first nights experience at
Vienna. But the eyes of all Europe
were all this time on the terrible man
of blood and iron. The foreign embassies
were in uproar. Was itpossible that there
was to be an alliance between Prussia
and the United Statess 1t was known
that New York was, in respect to its Ger
man population, the third or fourth Ger
man city in the world. What meant this
mysterious visit to the American Minister
the first visit the dreaded Prusslan states
man had made on entering Viennay Tel
egrams flew to London, Paris, Turin, and
st. Petersburg. The ingenuity of diplo-
matists was taxed to account for what
was unaccOuntable. Sumner himself, as
chairman of the senate committe OF for
eign affairs, received private letters from
eminent persons abroad, earnestly inquir-
ing whether the United States had resolv-
ed to depart from non-interference with the
affairs in Europe. as recommended by the
immortal Washington, etc.-absurd let
tiers, at which Sumner who knew Motley's
early associations with Bismarck, eXhlbi
ted his teeth IN the most genial and hui
morous of smiles. He laughed with
Motley over the occurrence some years
afterward when the affair was explained
to him Just as he had OWNED it. 1t is
pity that this one humorous incident in
the whole ffreary correspondence of the
American department of state with its
ministers abroad is not recorded in any
state paper. But il is certain that for a
day or two it seriously disturbed the con-
sultations of every cabinet in Europe.

the first drop swallowed, as he would start
with the first step he would put forward
in walk from the pure region of Hamp-

Thames at Barking Creek. The knotty
question then is this: Ought person to
start on that remarkable journey OF alco-
hOlic progress at all =? Should he try any
stageg Every one says, venture not on the
last three stages on any account; but some
say, live and go happy, day by day, through
the first; walk tho first fourth of the way
and you will be the better for it. 1t is a nice
exercise. 1t makes your heart light; it re-
freshes your mind; it quickens your secre.
tions; kit assists your sdigestion. The
wisest men of all ages have daily walked
this stage on the alcoholic highway toward
the point OF confederation of circumstan
ces. In this first fourth of their way, with
| an occasional venture little further when
the companionship was good, they have
given the world its wit, its humor, it:
poetry, its greatness
Suppose they have lived little shorter
time from the exercises, they have done
more work in the shorter time than they
would have done in lonE er time undel

indulgence in alcohol. Indulgence just

it is open, it is straight, it is smooth, it
filled with jolly companions every one,

culiarity about it, not hair's-breadth of

How Georxe Honey Hunted hats.

Here IL a story far funnler than most OF
the anecdotes one finds under the caption
of mOurelles Ia main in the Journal
Amusant OF the Figaro. 1t is story of
who, many years ago, while on a tour in
the provinces, had taken lodgings in an
humble house, somewhat the worse for
wear. Soon after retiring he was awaken
ed by fiuttering noise as OF a bird around
the curtain of his bed. He sprang up,
struck a light and saw a dark little crea-
ture with wings blundering about the
room. Not being well acquainted
with natural history he did not
recognize it as a bat. but deter
mined to catch it il possible. and ex-
anime it carefully In the morning. TAX

tried to capture the intruder for long
time in vain, but at last he pOunced upon

in a drawer, listened to its struggles to es

really caught it, and went to bed dream

signed to sleep long. Hardly had he do7

found another bat. After this one he had

Judge Blake, walking to church last
Sunday morning, at Celina, Ohio, met his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Franklin. On the pre-
vious evening Franklin had whipped his
wife, and she had fled to the house of her
brother, the judge, for refuge. Therefore
his honor was full of wrath at sight of the
offender. He drew a revolver. but quickly
changed his mind, and used only his fists
and the butt of the weapon.

What are you rattling off at such a
rate, Charlie. boy" asked little Charlie
Radcliffe's Aunt Helena, as she came upon
the piazza one Sunday morning before
church time. and found her nephew perch
ing on the piazza rail, with an open book
in his hand, the while his busy tongue, as
fast as it could move, chattered some
sounds like these:
Shilnut AXE thname.
Thlordthcgodn vainr
.Flordnut oldim gifts,
Takthisnamin vain,
Over and over Charlie turned this
strange-sounding medley on his tongue.
and Aunt Helena looked at him in IL pnZ-
zled way, trying to make out the sense, if
sense there might bc in any of it. At last
she asked, Where did YOU learn that glib
berish, Charlie, and what do you mean by
it, pray."
Charlie seemed surprised.
