Bismarck's Little Dodges,

An amusing anecdote, Of which Prince
Bismarck and Lord Odo Russell are the
heroes is published. One day when the
English ambassador was calling on the
chancellor, the conversation happened
TO turp on the numerous and annoying
visits the latter had to undergo owing to
his high position. = wv do you manage
to get out Of them9' asked Lord Odo.
'Ohl l have several little lodges, replied
the chancellor with smile. For in
stance, / have arranged with my wife to
enter the room and request my presence
elsewhere on some pretext or another,
whereppon, Of course, my visitor has to
leave Hardly were the words out of
bis mouth. when Princess Bismarck
opened the door and told her husband
not to forget that the hour for taking
his medicine had arrived. The effect OF
this announcement on the prince and
his visitor may be imagined, but Lord
Odo Russell took the incident in good
part and after exchanging q laugh and
aud cordial shake hands with the
chancellor, took the hint and his depar-
ture.

Tne Citizens Committee Examine the
Machinery at the City MM.
On Saturday afternoon the committee
Of citizens appointed at the meeting OF
Council on Thursday night, met at the
Water Department office, and proceeded
to examine the pumping machinery al
the city mill.
The committee, In company with the
Water Committee and CHER Engineer
AcIntire, carefully inspected the water
pumps, and the Cornish and Worthing-
ton pumps. The water wheel was found
to be almost completely worn out, thav-
ing been in constant use for over hfty
years. while II was very generally agreed
that the Cornish pump was about good
for nothing. The Wor,hington pump
was found TO be IN splendid working or
der.
The committee also examined the stat
istics of water supply and consumption,
showing that the supply was dependent
mainly upon the Worthington pump, as
the com bined capacity ofthe other pumps
was not equal to the daily average con-
sumption.
After making a thorough examination
| the committee returned to the Water
| Department Office, TO consider upon tie
| nature of the report they would make to
| Council. During the consultation, the
member from the First Ward, j. Morton
Poole, made come remarks in relation
the committee giving an expression OF
opinion upon the proposition OF Messrs
Joseph Bancroft & Sons, to supply The
city with water from their Rockford
dam. Col Feblger, of the Ninth Ward
claimed that the committee had nothing
to do with this proposition, and that thei
only duty was TO report upon the condl
ton of the pumping apparatus. and th'
advisibiliiy of puttlngin new wate
wheel, and new Worthington pump
for use in case of an emergency.
After discussing this question 70

Senators whose personal relations
are more harmonious and agreeable
