PRINCE BISMARCK.
A Glimpse at the True Character of thu
'.Man of Blood and Iron"

A Glimpse at the True Character of the
'.Man of Blood and Iron"
Since the accession of Bismarck to
the highest position in the nation, next
to the monarch, he has greatly exalted
the power and position of Prussia, but
it has been at fearful cost To carry
his purposes he has muzzled the press,
detied the representatives of the pco.
pie, and with an iron hand ruled like a
dcspot Fearless by nature, he has
confronted every kind of enmity and
opposition at home and abroad. There
is no need to follow closely his career
since he became the chief adviser and
prime minister of William |. Bis.
marck's prominence as statesman
has somewhat obscured his merit as q
soldier; but he himself always believed
that the army was the place for which
nature designed him. When the En-
peror invested him with the highest
military order in his gift, he addressed
him in the following terms: "Iruly
at many grievous time you have
shown the highest courage of the sol
dier, and you have also thoroughly and
completely proved at my side
in two campaigns that, apart
from every thing else, you have the
fullest claim to conspicuous military
distinction 1t is astonishing that
Bismarck has been able for 50 many
years to sustain the burden which has
been laid on his shoulders. Nothing
hut an iron constitution could have
borne all that has been thrown upon
him Six feet two in his boots, seventy
wears of age, but straight and unbent
by weight of years, in weight from two
hundred to two hundred and fifty
pounds, he has been and still is a model
of manly strength and vigor. OF late
wears there have been times when he
has been compelled TO beat a retreat
for "a season from the cares and labors
of Office to recuperate and re-establish
his health. He has always been
great eater, and deep drinker, and
heavy smoker. Prince Bismarck. in
the course of such a distinguished and
career, has become one of the
richest men of Germany; but no one
has ever accused him OF ayailing HIM
self of his position to acquire wealth in
an improper manner. Most OF his
has been the gift of the na-
tion. From Chds, Lope'S life Of Bis-

For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last best arrow
Has bounded back from the marx,

The eager anxious soul,
Who falls with hs strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal;
For the hearts that hrcak in silence
with a sorrow nll unkuown;
For those who need companions
Yet walk their ways alone.
There ARE songs enough for the lovers
Who share loves tender pa n.

Gen. Alexander DeclOuet was discover
ed among the audience, and to prolonged
calls, the venerable gentleman ascende,l
the platform. He received perfect Ova-
tion. He spoke feelingly and with tell
ing effect. lie traced the course of the
Democratic party, from the past to the
present day, and in strong convincing
language showed that the future prOspe-
rity OF our country depended upon the
continuance of wise Democratic admi-
nistration. Throughout the course of
his remarks he was often interrupted by
deafening applause.
Addresses were also made by Judge
Simon and Mr.. Armand Martin.
1t may be remembered that the Messen-
ger said last week that the party was
never more united than now; we have
no reason to change that assertion.
st. Martin will undoubtedly give Judge
MOutOn at the approaching election, such
majority as will even surprise his
friends.
The delegates selected are among the
most respectable men of the parish, and
their selection reflects credit on the
meeting. They will represent st. Mar
tin wisely.

We Must Stick Together.

The Ascension Democrat, in an able
article on unity in the party says:
Schism usually leads to severance and
severance means the coalition Of the
weaker side with the common enemy,
and in that step remuneration Of the
title Of Democrat is virtually accom-
plished.
Ii is absolutely essential to a healthy
condition that difference of opinion
should exist within the party; it is in
the multitude of opposing councils that
the wisest policy is found and the best
men selected for standard bearers. Let
each one valiantly fight for his own end,
let him insist with all his powers of ar
gument and persuasion upon the adOp-
tiOn of his views, let him urge the nOm-
inatiOn Of his favOrite candidate and ad-
vance his interest by every available legi-
innate means. But when the contest is
over, and the fight lost if he claims the
name of Democrat let him acquiesce in
the result and labor loyalty for the COM
mon cause.
This is good Democratic doctrine and
what the Messenger has always preached.

The Democratic Mass Meeting

Seldom, if ever, have we seen larger
gathering Of the sturdy Democracy of
the Parish. than was seen at Breaux
Bridge last Sunday. To give an idea OF
the number of people present, it is only
necessary TO state that the Firemen's
Hall, where the meeting was held, has a
seating capacity Of over 200, and it was
crowded. hence, allowing pretty fair
guess Of the number present.
The meeting was harmonious and en-
thusiastic throughout, and marked in
terest was manifested in all the proceed
ings. Mr.. Cyprien Guidry was master
Of ceremonies" and acquitted himself of
his onerOus duties with credit.
Judge ]. E. MOutOn, was called and ad-
dressed the people in his usual felicitons
happy and vigorous style. His remarks
elected much applause.

The Grievances of the Crofters-Probable
Extension of the Debate.
LONDON, Aug. BIN the House of Commons,
Peter Esslemort, Liberal member for East Aber
deenshire, moved an amendments to the address
expressing regret that the croftors' act had not
removed the grievances of the crofters The
amendment was supported by Messrs McLaren,
Clark, and Mason, Gladstonians, and by all the
Parnelltes. Mr.. Mason, in speech. said that
Scotland demanded home rule. Applause.
DR.. Tanner, Nationalist condemned the con-
dition of the Scotch crofters, and said he hoped
that the Irish would assist in rescuing them from
the vulture-like landlords, an act which would
tend to make Ireland and Scotland more
friendly. He was proceeding to violently de-
nounce the policy of determination" when the
Speaker ordered MIN to resume his seat, because
his remarks were irrelevant.
Mr. Balfour, Secretary for Scotland, denied
that the crofters suffered more than others of
similar class in Scotland. He said it was more
a question of overpopulation than of rent. The
agitation was due, in a large measure to the
example of Ireland. The outrages and the re-
fusaf to pay rent were not due to povert-. but
to the advice of agitators who wished to prevent
emigration, the natural remedy for overpopula-
ton.
Several members who had obtained the floor
were ordered to resume their seats, for making
irrelevant remarks, having gone on to discuss
home rule
Mr. Esslemont's amendment was finally re-
jected by vote of 203 to 121.
Mr. Sexton moved that the debate be ad-
journed.
Mr. Parnell asked whether the government
would give evening sitting for the censidera-
ton of Mr.. Sections amendment relative to the
Belfast riots.
Lord Randolph Churchill said that the gov
eminent could not grant an evening. because it
would proong the debate through the week
Mr. Sexton was not inclined to move his
amendment on Wednesday, as he wanted to
postpone the report stage until Thursday; but
Lord Randolph Churchill's refusal to grant an
evening for the discussion of tine amendment
compels Mr. Sexton to move the amendment on
Wednesday. Mr.. Sexton hints that, if unre
strie.ed, the Irish speakers will probably pro-
long the discussion until Friday, whereas if
Churchill had granted an evening for the amend
ment. the discussion would have eI7ded on
Thursday.
The Parnellites have received "whip" urging
their constant attendance during the debate on
the estimates.
At meeting to-day. of forty advanced Glad
stonian members of Parliament, Mr.. Alfred Ill
ingworth, presiding, it was unanimously re-
solved to favor forward and aggressive policy.
It was also decided to notify Sir William Vernon
Harcourt and John Morley that the meeting de-
sired that the home-rule struggle commenced at
the recent elections should be strenously main
tanned.

Mr.. Rounds on Sept Is, and in the meantime his
brother the chief clerk; will famiiarize
himself with the business of the Office. The ad

some stir among employees of the Office and there
is some anxiety to the policy TO be adopted

prevails thatvery many changes are to be made
by Mr.. Benedict. From what can be learned it
seems that Democrats will be installed, a rule
