The Insignificant Incident which Changed
Bismarck's Career.

Bismarck's Career.
Al illustration of how great issues
may depend upon gniiicant incidents
is furnished by passage in the career
of Prince Bismarck, which has just
been made public. About the year
1850 the Regent of the duchy of Anhalt-
Bernburg requested the Prussian
Government to name several men from
whom one might be chosen for high
state Office in the duchy. The request
was complied with, and among the
names submitted was that of lotto Won
Bismarck zu Schoenhausen." Bis
marck and another were ordered 10
present themselves on certain day be-
fore the Regent for demonstration of
their fitness for the position to be filled
Both travelled accordingly to the center
of the duchy, but as i'll luck or luck
would have it the axle of the carriage
in which Bismarck journeyed broke on
the way, and he was compelled to stay
night with the rest of the passengers
at the nearest town. Next day he re-
sumed his journey, but he arrived
twenty-four hours after the time ap-
pointed for the Interview. In the
meantime his rival had been given the
post So Bismarck returned home, and
in time became Imperial Chancellor
instead. Who can tell how the course
of German history might have been
changed had Bismarck wasted his
powers on the duchy of Anhalt-Bern-
burg?-PdH NAL Gazette.

Her father had purchased the young
FLY from gentleman named Bughcr
for $500. Not long after he took n
friend out to Chester Park to look Mt

after one of your childrcn?" asked the
friend. al had not thought of that, :"
was the reply made as they walked
away. The friend thought no more of
the lilly for about two weeks, wnen he
met Captain Stone coming out of the
post-oflicc. "Hello, said he, "I have
acted on your suggestion and have just
posted the letter claiming the name for
my filly. l am going to'call her after
my daughter Maud" "Maud Stone
will be pretty name," responded the
friend. ooh! I'll not call het the full
name," replied the Captain, with n
blush. "You see, | wouldn't like to
see her full name on race card, so
have called her Maud S." After the
filly made her great record at Lexington
she was sold to w. II. Vanderbilt for
S21, 900. He never knew how to handle
her, and was never able to get herspeed
out of her. Captain Stone tried to buy
her back, and offered $1,000 for her,
but the Vanderbilts would not lot him
have her. .-Philddclphia NetOS.
