Hnrax,a PonulnritY.

To THE EDroR-Sr: The indianapolis
Journal of Oct. 2 tries to prove that Hovey, in a
total vote Of 1926, in 1856, could show gain
of several per cent over the vote of Gudgel In
in 1884, in q total vote of 1870. II the Journal
is right, there must have been decrease in the
number of voters of the First congressional dis
trict. If the Journal had taken an increase of
population into consideration, and had figured,
not uponian increase Of republican votes, but
upon the per cent. of democrats who stayed at
home, il would not have laid itself liable 70 be
considered as catching at straws-and little
ones at that.
The Journal has no doubt heard of the col
legian who proved to his father that two
chickens were really three, and who was re-
quested to eat that third one. The Journal
stands in the shoes Of that smart young man.
The Journal acted upon the idea that figures
do not lie. The Journal is right; figures do not
lie; the falsehood lies in the application Of the
figures. FRITZ III. STRITTER-

Bismarck Mt Home.

A Germaa paper publishes some inter
esting details of the daily life of Prince
Bismarck. Everybody knows, says oul
contemporary, that the Prince hardly
ever gets up before noon, unless he has
to attend an important Parliamentary
meeting. But it must be remembered
that he only goes to bed after working
till "a. NJ, every night. la the Chan
cellor's bedroom a lamp is kept burning
all the night, numbers of messages often
recurring his personal attention being
brought in during the night. In con-
sideration of the late hours kept by the
Prince, supper is served late in the eyen-
ing. and seldom finished before mid
night. Beside the Prime s. Bismarck.

almost every meal, regularly leaving the

marck's birthday is always q great feast
and holiday for the servants of the house.
In the kitchen a barrel Of wine is pro
yided by Princess Bis narck. two bands
are in attendance, and the servants fam
lilies appear on the scene. The Prince
comes down, talks with the guests, and
distributes sweets to the children. Th'
pleasant relations between master ano
servant are also evident from the iac
that the Princess always gives six Easte
eors to each Of the servants. The do
mestic police for the Prince consist o
Sergeant and eight constables. If tn
Prince is away from home four consta
blcs 90 with him and four remain at IN
house, and all of them are entitled to al
rest any suspicious person, be 1t at Bel

The man who p 'sessed the heavies:

blacksmith, who does not seem to have
been otherwise remarkable, even for the
excellence Of his iron work. Since that
time, however, though grea. pains have
been taken to ascertain the brain weight
of celebrated men, not one record exists
of the brain weight of famous women.

Nuggets Of Foreign News,

The news of the formation of an English,
African company excites great interest in
Berlin. The opinion is general that it will be
necessary to rectity without delay the hastily
drawn frontier line of the German possessions
in order to avoid possible future disputes.
A dispatch from Zanzibar says: Tangani
natives resisted the landing of the German
company's officers and the s~ultan's troops.
Shots were exchanged and two Germans were
wounded. A German man-of-war afterward
bombarded Tanga. Thu excitement is spread
ing. Communication with the interior is in
~terrupted.
At a meeting of socialists in Berlin it was
decided that the election of Herr Liebkncicht
was q proof Of satisfactory progress by the
party, and that no further revolutionary
methods were necessary. A list of candidates
mostly from the working classes, has been
compiled, and an active canvass of all the
workshops In the capital and other German
towns has been decided upon.
Governor General and Lady Stanley ar.
rived at Toronto, where the Governor Gen.
eral, expressing his disappointment at the
rejection of the fisheries treaty, said: II
honestly trust that neither directly nor in-5
directly may we be tempted from the path
of calmness, sound judgement and oven q
feeling of geniality toward those with whom
we are brought in contact in political and
commercial affairs. 1t is impossible to be-
leye that where nations are closely alliedin
blood and interest," they can be put asunder,
even for atnIe, and ] hope and believe that
thesS which / have spoken will find u
response in the bosoms Of most of the com.
munity." -"
