PRINCE BIsMARcRs IRON RING.

The Reason Of His Wearing So Singular
an Observation-Disclosures
chicago Tribunel
Prince Bismarck wears upon one Of his
fingers an iron ring. on which is inscribed
the Russian word "Nitschowo" dts all
right. To a correspondent Of Russian
paper who inquired of him the reason of
his wearing so singular an ornament, in re-
ply he related the following laughable
episode: In 1859, when l was the Prus-
star ambassador to the Ru'qian court,
received an invitation to join the imperial
party in hunt which was to take place in
a few days about 100 versts from ST. Peters
burg. Being an ardent sportsman in those
lays. left early in order to enjoy myself
little before the arrival of the emperor. but
missing my road found myself at the time
set for the rendezvous in little out-of-the
way village, speaking just enough Russian
to inquire of peasant how far it was to the
meeting place Of the hunters:
"About twenty versts," was tho answer.
"WilI you take me there?'
Certainly, my lord, he replied.
A few minutes later, and was sitting in a
miserable sleigh, drawn by two little Rus
sian horses-insignificant little things.
"Can you land me there in time am in
great hurry" said.
"Nitschowo," was his reply
"These are a couple of rats you have tied
to your Sleigh" l remarked, when things
we're getting a little slow
"Nitschowo," replied the peasant, giving
the reins to his little horses Away they
dartei forward, as if shot out of a gun. The
, sleigh flew over the snow at such arats that
| was near losing my breatc.
Hold oni' cried; are you getting crazyan
"Nitschowo," was the only response l re-
ceived.
"But you will upset mel"
'Nitscho wo'-nothing more, until upon q
su iden found myself rolled out into the
snow.
The laconic "Nitschowo" ought to have
Gained me, but the delay which the acct.
dent would cause uS provoked me so that
was about to chastise the peasant in the
true Russian fashion, with small iron 70 !
which had been broken from the sleigh, but
upon second thought l returned to my seat,
secreting the rod beneath my coat as a re-
hinder of Russian imperturbability. From
that rod this iron ring was manufactured
Ny good Germans often criticise ME for the
over-consiterats manner in which treat
the RussianS; but it must be remembered
that am the only man in Germany who in
critical moments has the habit of saying
"Nitschowo" while in Russia at such time:
| hundred million have the sams word on
their tongues end.
