Buscn, tho Boswellan, biosraphcr OF Bis
marck. has produced an interesting book.
His description Of the prince as a humorist is
good. Most Of Bismark's humor, however, is
Of tho Rabelaisan kind and will not bear
printing. His account Of himself il pathcti-
cally amusing; "In point of health am
mere drum, only skin and sound" Speaking
Of his interview with Louis Napoleon after Sc
dan, he said "Siting for an hour opposite
the Emperor Napoleon, felt fer all the world
like young man al a ball who had engaged a
young lady for a coiillon, but could not find a
word TO say to her, and wished some one
would come and take her away" The natural
good humor of the prince was sorcly disturbed
on many occasions by the late Herr Lasker.
Tho impairment interruptions Of politicians
like Lasker or DR.. Gucist generally drove him
into an nngovernable passion. In one Of these
outbreaks he turned aside from the matter in
hand to thunder out: ~ tell you I'm no orator.
l can not play with words so as to work on
your feelings and thereby darken facts. am

A Suggestion.

Charles Delmonico, thirty years ago,
when mere lad, suggested to his uncle
that men who patronized restaurant OF
the kind the firm had just opened, were
not the men to dun, and at his request,
the rule was established, never, under
apy circumstances, to present bill or
ask the payment Of check, until such
action was requested by the debtor.
"Why isn't that the best place to go
and hoard when a man visits New
York ?" asks the editor of Western
naper. "a place where they don't pre-
s.nt bills till boarder asks for them
would seem to fill want long felt"

A CORRESPONDENT, writing from Salt Lake
City, says that he never saw Mormon wife
with smile on her face. The favorite wife in
afamily may look happy during her brief
reign, but the others are in the depths OF
gloom. Bad rfecling rcvails all the time.
Even Brigham was always in trouble. At one
time he had so much trouble with his wives
that he threatened to divorce the entire lot,
but this had no effect. Mormon wives feel
their absolute degradation, andare wholly mis-
cradle. Nearly every Mormon girl seeks to
marrya Gentle. All women who have seen
anything of the horrors Of polygamy desire to
escape from its bondage.

tense anxiety as to what the State
will do towards closing the gap and
how soon they will begin. If, as
stated by several eminent engineers,
after CAREFUL examination and sound
ings of the two channels or bayous
that i'll exist at the rear Of the
crevasSe there will remain at low
water mark in depth often or twelve
feet Of water with u width of several
hundred feet, it follows that there is
no time to be lost. With the pro,
per soundings there is now no oh
stacle, apparently in the way Of
properly locating the levee, and
beginning the construction at once
The two open channels may be
cribbed with Sewall Bros piling
and the work of filing the outlets
should begin without delay. There
is 10 doubt that ar ordinary levee
with slope of three to one, six
months old will resist the regular
high water, but the leyee must have
age. Hurry mp, Mr. Board of State
