iiismarck,s Daily Life.

Bismarck does not arise until eight or
nine o'clock, sometimes later, especially
when the Reichstag is in session. Then
he sips brandy and settler, takes a
short stroll and on his return goes to
his study, where he sips coffee, nibbles
at hard brown toast and reads the
newspapers while his secretary is open
ing the letters. Bismarck, so the Under
Secretary told me, opens many of the
letters. He processes to despise news
papers and writer's, but the servants all
know that he looks at every article.
Breakfast is served shortly before noon,
and the family dine at one table Bis
marck likes soft boiled eggs and fried
eggs done brown, with thin slices of
bacon done to crisp. He will not eat
white bread or any kind of fresh-baked
bread. He drinks black coffee without
cream or milk, and if he has been up
late he drinks four or five cups, with
a small glass of brandy in the first cup.
Mutton chops and rare beefsteak suit
him, but he is light eater. His wife
and the children however, must have
dainty dishes, with fresh rolls, and re-
main at the table for an hour chatting
or reading the papers. Dinner is set
out at six O'Clock in the evening, and
unless guests are present it is very
plain, but at all other times it is a grand
affair. Bismarck eats meat and vege-
tables and brown bread, but his wife
and the children are fond of pastry and
CONNECTIONS Bismarck drinks Mosele,
Tokay or Johannisberger wines, and
occasionally he has a mug of stock
lager. Generally there are from five to
twenty guests at dinner. Bismarck re-
mains at home in the evening reading
or writing, unless the Reichstag is in
session or he has to 90 TO some recep-
ton or conference, and tea is served at
midnight He seldom retires to his
bed-chamber until two O'Clock. His
room is not carpeted. but there is mat
in front Of the plain bed.

Theory OF Cycles.

iheory OF cycles, as applied the phe-
nomena OF nature, he's gained as adher-
ents all scientific persons of any stand
ing, and numbers among its disciples,
we belleve. great many orthodox
theologians. Indeed, there is good
scrlptural authority for the belief that in
general way lit never rains but it
pours, or. in other words, that the ma
terial universe moves in circles. and
events repeat themselves in groups at
certain intervals, not as yet thoroughly
understood by mankind, but which are
probably regulated by fixed laws, the
secret OF which may sooner or later be
unlocked by science. This is forcibly
brought TO mind by the events of the
past i've or six years. Within that pc
Rod the earth appears to have been es-
pecially subject to internal disturbances.
Volcanoes long silent have again given
signs OF activity, and some of them have
burst into fierce eruption. Something
like score of volcanoes have been re-
ported, and in the Straits of Sunda a
single day witnessed the eruption Of a
dozen or more. These phenomena have
been preceded, accompanied and fol-
disturbances. To-day it is Asia Minor,
yesterday it was Java, the day before it
was lschia; and in all cases there have
been fearful loss of life and universal
terror. In the Southern hemisphere.
too, there have been strange atmos-
pheric effects, the sun apparently Shin
ing through a veil of blue OF green, and
coloring all things with strange, awe
inspiring light. Doubtless this last phe-
nomenon is due to volcanic eruptions in
remote South American regions. ac-
counts of which have not as yet reached
the telegraph lines. 1t is a little re-
markable that while these disturbances
are beyond the reach of human forecast,
the highest civilization seems to have
centered in terrestrial belts which have
not been subject to upheaval within re-
cent geologic periods. France, Ger
many, England and the United States
are, for the most part, outside of the
earthquake belt, so far as its Limits are
at present defined 1t is not reassuring,
however, to know that we are probably
passing through period of terrestrial
disturbance which may not reach its
maximum without giving us all taste
OF its power. This earth of ours runs so
smoothly along its elliptical track, per-
forms its own mechanical functions or
dinarily with such perfection, that it is
hard to realize how small a thing, COM
paratively considered, may throw the
machinery out of gear. There are I'M
known forces imprisoned within its sur
face, which now and then give us hint
of their existence, and there are I'M
named extinct suns drifting about
through space, on whose bulk the
wrecked earth would barely make hill
ock' 1t is well enough for US at times to
remember these conditions, and reflect
how utterly insignificant is our home
and its belonging in comparison with
the universe of which we form part
The Continent.

One he Hadn't Met.

One day pompous little fellow at a
dinner-table was boasting of the great
men with whom he was ON intimate
terms. He had been in constant cores
pondence with Longfellow, had lunched
with Tennyson, was in friendly relations
with the Prince of Wales, and in short,
knew everything and everybody. At
length quiet individual at the further
end of the room broke in on the CONVEX
sation with the question: MY dear
sir, did you happen to know the STA
mese Twins when they were in this
country" Our hero, who evidently
had talent for lying, but no real gem
ius, at once replied: 1.-The Siamese
Twins, sir? Yes sir. became very in
innate with one of them, but | never
had the good fortune to meet the other. .

cal rights have betrayed their wards.
These witnesses are all Democratic
and multitude more of the same stripe
might be summoned, but they will
suffice to answer the assertions of Demo-
cratic exchanges that the clamor about
Ohio is ''all Republican noise-making. "
The Cincinnati News, a Democratic
paper above quoted, says that from
81, 900 to $1,000 was paid for votes for
Paine, and it is stated that his election
cost more than $4,000. 1t is by such
means and methods that our Democratic
friends propose "to elevate the moral
Standards" promote civil service re-
form and purity in politics generally.

A Horse Which Acts Like a Dude.

Mr.. Lawson Melton, of Dawson, has
a mirror in the side of one of his stables,
and he has horse which goes every
day several times and looks at himself
with peculiar air of personal pride,
as if he were a young dandy. He steps
before the glass, takes look at his
face. then he turns and scrutinizes him.

spection of his form and proportions,
and when he is satisfied with his mascu-

currycomb he then goes away. Who

personal vanities so common to man.

Santa Fe county, about eighteen miles
from the railroad. There are extensive
works for smelling and preparing the
ore for the market, but all lying idle

ain in which these mines are located,
seems to be solid copper ore. On one
