Bismarck's Magnificent PHYSIQUE.


The appearance Of Bismarck, who is
not only a famous man, a prince, and a
general, but who is chancellor of the en-
pire as well, makes the populace gasp
venture to assert that nowhere in the
world can a man of 70 years be found
who compares with this magnificent
looking leader. The perfect command
that he exercises over himself in addition
to pulling the noses and patting the backs
Of the nations was shown last winter
when the Iron Chancellor reduced his
weight thirty-five pounds by a course Of
training that would have staggered a
collegian. h
"The full significance Of this feat"
one of the princes physicians said to me
the other day, twill not strike you till
you call all the conditions into view. 1t
shows after all that three score years and
ten is by no means goal to be dreaded.
A mans age is what he makes it, accord
ing to Prince Bismarck. Still when a
man Is in his 73d year it looks like fool
hardness to suddenly reverse all old and
methodical habits, take ice cold baths at
daybreak, have cold meat and cold tea
for breakfast, let wines and beer drop
out of existence, and do an amount Of
violent exercise that would wear out a
80-year-old laborer."
The hard physical work which the
chancellor has passed through in order
to get his weight down has left him O
picture of erect and sturdy manhood.
He gives the lie even to the most COM
plimentary of his portraits. All his life
he has been an athlete, and now he reaps
the reward. -Blakely Halls Berlin Let

The Humor Of rsd.x.

Coincidently with the decadence of
poetry, another phase of the human mind
has put itself forward with marked en-
phasis; and that Is what we call humor.
Humor, in fact, is one of the most reso-
lutte and dreaded enemies of the modern
poet. The humorist will take a poem
and put it in such a light that we begin
to see something ludicrous or affecled in
what was till now beautiful and pro-
found. OF course, the humor that does
this is q humor not of the larger sort; it
is the cheap humor Of parody and ridi-
cule, the humor of literal interpretations
and grotesque comparisons, such as is
rife just now in this country. When we
wish to express our admiration of it, we
call it the humor of common sense; it is
at any rate common" in so far as it is
easily come by, and is low and material
in its point of view. But nothing exists
without a cause, and the cause of this
humor is the hypocrisy, humbug and
pretense which characterize so much of
our social and moral and intellectual be-
havior, and which it is the end and aim
of our "humorists" to show up and dis
credit.-Julian Hawthorne in American
Magazine.

Roscoe Conlsling in New York and
Matthew Arnold in Liverpool met death
in modes thoroughly characteristic of
their natures. The poet and man of let
tiers had taught the virtue of physical
culture throughout his life. He believed
in athletics, believed in his own teach
ings, believed in practicing what he pro-
fessed. And SO, at 66 years Of age, he
must needs leap fence because, for the
athlete, fences are made to be leaped.
The statesman and jurist had been in
the habit of walking down Broadway
from his Office, regardless of wind or
weather. Brooking no opposition from
his fellowmen his imperious temper re-
fused to bend even to the elemental
forces; and so he shouldered his way
magnificently through the binding snow
storm and successfully defied the biz
card at its worst. But for his temporary
triumph he has paid the penalty of his
life, and now nation mourns his I'M
timely taking off.

mortals be.-Chicago News.

Bath ASYLUM Excursion.

Thatcher Post, G. A. R., of this city, are
making arrangements to give the little ones
in the Asylum at Bath happy day at the
islands early this season. A committee has
been appointed by the Post to manage the
details of the matter and the managers of
the public transportation lines enter into the
work heartily to aid the comrades in the
good work. The arrangements are still un
der consultation and nothing definite or
special has been determined upon, beyond
the general idea to bring them all up here
and give them day of recreation and good
shore dinner, with such amusements as may
be provided. No communication has as yet
been had with the managers of the Asylum
and everything thus far depends upon their
acceptance of the invitation in behalf of
their wards, Certainly no more pleasant
sight can be imagined than to see these lit
tie ones in the care of their natural guard
ians the Grand Army of the Republic on
their way to enjoy happy day. The COM
mittee inform us that they meet with the ut
most interest and enthusiasm ON the part of
those having charge of steamboats,, island
resorts and in fact of everybody whose SER
vices they will require.
