AUDACIoUs BISMARCK.
How lie CooIIy smokes in the Presence Of
His superiors.

Busch's life OF Bismarck contains the foi-
lowing amusing account OF the manner III
which the Prince treated the Austrian
President at Frankfort, who monoponzeu
the privilege of smoking. IL is from
Bismarck himself. asked about 'ne
famous cigar incident. "Wmch one

which ne gave me with astonishment ue-
picted upon his countenance. But tnere Is
another story OF the same sort. AT the
sttings of the Military Committee, wben
Rochow represented Prussia at the Fede-
raj Diet. Austria alone smoked. Rochow,
who was an inveterate smoker, would have
gladly done the same, but did not dare 10.
When | arrived. seeing no reason 10 the
contrary. | asked the presiding power
TO obhge me with q light. This re-
quest was apparently regarded by the
chairman and the other gentlemen with
amozement and dspleasure. Obviously,
Il was an event. As matters then stood,
only Austria and Prussia smoked. But
the Others considered It question OF such
importance that they reported upon II 10
their respective governments. Somebody
must have written TO Berlin about it, too;
for an inquiry reached me from his late
Majesty. who was not a smoker. and proDa-
Div did not find the occurrence to nis
taste. The incident called for serious con-
sideration at the smaller courts. and
six months elapsed, during which only
the two great Powers smoked. Then
Schrenkn, the Bavarian, began TO vlndl-
cate the dignity of his position by smoking.
Nostitz, the Saxon, had doubtless & feat
mind to do as much, but had not received
permission from his minister. When,
however, at the next sitting, he saw the
Hanoverian, Bothmer, light up, he must
have come to some arrangement With
Rechberg (NOstltZ was under Austrian
influence, having two sons in the
Imperial army, for he took cigar
out Of his case and pulled away
vigorously. The only ones left were tue
Wuertemberger and the DaTmstadter,
neither OF whom smoked. But the honor
and Importance OF their states imperalively
required that they should smoke, and so
next time the Wuertemberger Won Rein

THE BOSTON BRUISER.
He'll Fight Thompson or Any Other
Man by Queensbury Rules.

Los ANGELES, Cal, March 16.-Replying
to Herald reporter, whether he would fight
Mervine Thompson, of Cleveland, John L.
Sullivan said, Yes, provided it is a match
for IS, 600 side, with or without gloves, to be
fought to the finish. Any match Sheedy
makes Smith and I will stand by.n "Then
you have not retired from the ring as has been
generally supposed?' 81 have retired, but
on account Of Sheedy putting up $4,000,
will stand by him, so that they cannot get
away with bluff. Guess it's a scheme for
half gate money, the same as that man Rob-
inson worked at San Francisco" 'sWill you
fight according TO English prize rules, or
Marquis of Queensbury?" 81 will fight by
the Marquis of Queensbury rules. l
like the Queensbury rules. They make man
fight if he has got it in him. Under these
rules 1 will be ready to meet Thompson or
any other man within reasonable time l
shall be in New Orleans the LIST of April. If
fight is made, it will probably come off in
that vicinity" Sulliyan's hacker said: II
have telegraphed Sullivan's acceptance
to Sheedy, though 1 had not
expected to have Sullivan meet any one until
we arrive in New York, when match be
tween him and Pendergast will take place.
Mitchell also will have chance to redeem
himself. Sullivan is in good condition." It
is reported a man in Tombstone is training
to meet Sullivan on his arrival there.
