A man OF IRON.
Something About Prince Bismarck,
The Man Of Mystery.
HIS DEVOTION TO GERMANY.
Some Characteristic Phrases From His
Telling Speeches---Appearance
of the Statesman.

Europe held its breath one day during
the past week. 1t had been announced
that Oh Monday Prince Bismarck would
in his address to the reichstag inform
humanity whether the spring time was
to bring war or peace. But we are about
as wise now as we were week ago re-
speeding the probability of the future.
The great benefit of such speech
is that it gives the Solons of the Euro
pean political papers each chance to
interpret the chancellor's words in the
way that suits him best. What Prince
Bismarck wants now and all the time is
to increase the military strength of
Germany, so as to be ready for emer-
gencies, the most likely of which is the
simultaneous attack of Russia and
France. TO meet this he can now place
a million men on either frontier, and
after keeping Europe on the tiptoe of
expectancy for few days he is happy.
''The warlike tendencies of France and
Russia" he said, "drive us to defense.
The pike in France and Russia compel
us to become carp"

There were a large number of men,

examination, which was quite severe.
The tests consisted Of lifting weights.

failed to pass. Climbing the rope and
walking the swinging plank were about
the hardest tests, and more than one
poor fellow went down under them.
When failure was made, every one
laughed at the awkward appearance of

some keen opponents he grows nervous,

for Bismarck, while he is the first civil
officer in the empire, is at the same
time general of cavalry, and always
wears his undress uniform in the rechs-

When aroused his ebulltions of pas

had made himself particularly
obnoxious to the habitues of the place,

CAUGHT ATTHE CRUCIFIXION.
Jerusalem on That E,VentfuI Day
Shown in a CyciOrama.

Shown in a CyciOrana.
The great cyclOrama, "Jerusalem on
the Day of the CrucifiXion," is to be
placed on exhibition in the panorama
building at Minneapolis about April ].
This enterprise is based upon one of the
most remarkable successes in Germany's
art center. There is now on exhibition
at Munich a panorama of Jerusalem
and the crucifiXiOn, which may be called
Il faithful reproduction of all that is alb
s0lutely known, by authentic record
and tradition, as well as from ruins and
other preserved evidence, of the scenes
surrounding the death upon the cross of
Jesus of Nazareth. The most remarka-
BILE preparations were made for this
work. An expedition of artists and
surveyors spent the better part of year
in and about Jerusalem to ascertain the
exact topography Of the city and its SUI
rOundingS within the horizon Of a spec
tator standing upon GOlgotha, and to
obtain the most reliable material for re-
building, upon canvas, the city of Jeru-
salem as it appeared on the day of the
crucifiXiOn. Besides, thousands of
sketches were made Of the people, the
animal and vegetable life OF the coun-
try, the atmospheric effects, and, in
fact, Of everything necessary to
reproduce faithfully all the land, with
all that was upon it, over which the eye
swept from G0lgotha on the day Of the
crucifiXion. Then all the obtainable
material was obtained for the costum-
ing, for the domestic and travelling hab-
its OF those times; and finally, the best
authorities were consulted upon the
probable grouping of the principal
scene and upon the attitude of the
masses Surging in and about Jerusalem
on the day preceding the great Passover
feast. The backbone of the panorama,
che topography and architecture, upon
the faithful representation of which the
historical value of the work principally
depends, was the work of Prof. Carl
Fr0sch, who has made himself familiar
with every ruin in and about ,Jeru-
salem, and with the result OF all the
various investigation carried on in
the Holy Land for centuries past
All the sketches and all the materials
used in Munich have been at the full
disposal of Prof. FrOSch and his CO.
labOrers, but the picture to be placed on
exhibition at Minneapolis is a new
work, embodyIng all the successful
features of the Munich painting with
out its weak points, and adding much
which study Of American investiga-
ton of the subject has suggested.
This new panorama of Jerusalem on
the day of the crucifixion will be recog-
nized not only as superior work of art,
but as the most famous representation
from sacred ard secular sources of the

1t is altogether probable that the
council will next Friday elect a police
commissioner to succeed 7. B. Janney,
but it has not been agreed upon.
The law says the election shall
take place in March, but gives
the council full month in which to
complete the job. There has been no
intimation of a Democratic caucus as
yet, and caucus is the unavoidable

which mighty individual the choice
will alight. Each candidate has 'seen"
the aldermen and in his memorandum
