Disarming an Unseen Foe.

This was sometime paradox, as Ham
let says. Since, however, the people OF
America and other lands have been ena-
bled to pit Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
against that unseen foe, malaria, it is no
longer paradox, but an easy possibility.
Wherever malaria evolves its misty ven

BISMARCK OF TO-DAY.
His Personal Appearance and His Abillt,
as an Orator.

His Personal Appearance and His Ability
as an Orator.
Bismarck has grown old during the
last few years, his mustache is white
as snow, and his walk less erect than
in former years, but the power OF his
face and the might of his eyes live still
the same as they did ten years ago.
When he sits down 1t is as If he was
on guard, his sword laid across his
knees, as formerly old Hagen used to
sit, and though he is no Hagen in
guilt and wickedness, he is a Hagen in
faithfulnoss, and II need be, in stern
wrath. And he is on guard at the
gates of the Fatherland.
Bismarck, Us every body knows, is
not an orator. nearly said, thank
God, he is no orator. His speech has
been likened to forest stream which
rumbles over stones and roots. The
comparison is somewhat poor.
think know q better, though rather
technical one-namely, his speech is
like quicksilver drawn out. Take a
drop of quicksilver containing some
lead or zinc, put it on pane of glass
and hold it slantingly. The drop
swells and rolls, but presently it stops,
becomes thinner and longer, remains
immovable for moment, gathers new
strength to flow, becomes thin once
again, and so forth. Thus it is with
the Chancelor's words; first half
sentence comes out, then he hesitates,
stops, or utters a short inarticulate
sound, and goes on again. 1t Is evil
dent that TO speak is a physical exer-
ton, but even when he is in first-rate
form he does not talk fuently.
But on closer observation the reason
appears very soon. The form OF his
speech is improvised on the spur of
the moment, but, unlike many fluent
Speakers, he does not use the first ex-
preston which may come TO his mind,
but while ne is uttering the first half
of sentence he is thinking how TO
shape the second half in order TO ex-
press exactly what he wishes to say.
If he makes joke or a slight observa-
ton he speaks quickly and without
hesitation. but as soon us he returns TO
the serious treatment of political sub
ject this painfully-accurate expression.
the result of mental work, becomes
again apparent, which shows that he
endeavors not TO say syllable which
he can not reconcile with his respon-
sible position. This is the reason why
his speeches concerning foreign poll
ties, read like official diplomatic docu-
ments, every word is carefully con-
sidered.
His voice Is peculiar, high-pitched
and not very powerful. 1t has been
called u thin voice, but this only ex-
presses one OF its qualities. Another
is that it is so remarkably young that
one would think it almost incredible
for man of his age to possess such
voice. II one does not see him while
he is speaking IL is difficult to believe
that it is not young Lieutenant OF
twenty-eight who is speaking (Which,
by the way, is rather pity, since the
SNAIL aud the drawl OF the German
Lieutenant is detestable). But put in
connection with this quality Il can
sound extremely soft and Aattering,
and | should not be surprised IL in
former years, when he was Ambas-
sador. some Of his personal successes
had been due just TO this tinbre Of his
voice. Cologne Gazette.

Republican Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 27.-The republican
Senators held we'll attended caucus to-day
prior to the meeting of the Senate. Two
subjects were under consideration. Oae
was with reference to pating all clerks on
the aonual list, payment to be made out of
the contingent fund There WAS q general
sentiment ia favor of doing this, but the
question OF its legality being raised no con-
clusion was reached. Il is inferred from
what was sni that the legal doubt will be
sullic ept to defeat the scheme, although
that is not absolutely certain. The other
subject was "Shall Senator Coke's speech
Oh the Southern election outrages be an.
swered ?" The conclusion, while not for
mally expressed, was that there should be
no further discussion of this subject at this
session
