Apropos Of Gambetta's facility in
speaking on the inspiration Of the mo-
ment the following anecdote is told:
While journeying one day with a young
deputy from Paris to Versailles, be
said: ''Do not speak to me. have
long and important speech to make,
which have not even had timeto think
over" The silence, therefore, remained
| unbroken. When at last his friend
looked round he saw that Gambetta was
not deep in thought, but fast asleep,
| nor did he wake until they reached Yer
sailles. When reminded of the speech
he intended to prepare he only laughed
and shrugged his shoulders. In the
evening, however, he delivered speech
as splendid and finished as if he had
made voluminous notes and careful pre-
paration.
Count William Bismarck, the
Princes second son." says st. James's
Gazette, twas, like his father, long
troubled with obesity. One happy day
a literary friend introduced to him a
certain Doctor Schwenninger, Bava-
rian, who claimed to have hit upon q
regimen which was an infalible cure for
fairness. Count William placed himself
unreservedly in the hands of the Herr
\ Doctor, and in few weeks had lost his
superfuous bulk Thereupon Doctor
Schwenninger was summond to the
Chancellor, whom he undertook to cure,
as he had cured his son. At the end of
seven or eight weeks Prince Bismarck
weighed sixty pounds less, and he now
looks upon himself as cured. He sleeps
long and TRANQUILITY; he is at his desk at
seven in the morning; he takes long
walks which would fatigue young
man; and, after ten years. absence from
the saddle, he is now able to ride. All
this is prodigious; but what is Doctor
Schenninger's mysterious regimen?'
