bismarck and the Fair SEX

Eugene Field in the Chicago News.
If in all Germany there are those who rejoice
in the retirement of Bismarck they belong to
tina: class who have come to regard Bismarck
as a woman-hater. The truth seems to be that
Bismarck has always had very distinct con-
vic.ion that woman had sphere and that she
ought to stick to it. 1t is told that upon one
occasion the Countess Waldersee remarked to
the chancellor that the Empress Frederick was
lady of ripe political judgment "Yes," an
swered Bismarck, Il am sure of it, for the pol
itics of tine ladies lies in the nursery and
the kitchen, and L am aware that the empress
Is an admirable wife and mother
But" argued the countess, with good deal
of vehemence, "a woman may have interests
outside the nursery"
Certainly" said Bismarck, 'when her hus-
band is content to rock the cradle"
The wife of Count Schouvaloff the Russian
ambassador, was always quarreling with Bis
marck and amusing tales told of the
spirited disputes that passed between them.
Upon one occasion Bismarck was particularly
grumpy and he srubbed not only the countess
but every other lady in the room in the most
brutal manner. As he withdrew from the
apartment one of the large Russian mastiffs in
the hallway had the temerity to growl at the
chancellor Whereupon the Countess Schou-
valoff ran to the door and called out, saucily:
prince Bismarck, don't you dare bite my
dog"

A Curious Custom in Iceland.

From the New ork Ledger.
There is an old ceremony in Iceland of show
ing civilities to strangers prevaIen. in the re-
mote rural districts. 1t is that the ladies of
the house shall pull off the trousers of the
fatigued and discOnsolate travellers. The
theory Is that, as the rain may be expected to
be Away falling, the trousers must be wet at
bed time, and rs the regular days pony ride is
about forty miles the adventurer from other
lands should be exceedingly weary and in need
OF gentle encouragement and assistance 1t is
thought, therefore, that it is nothing but an
act of pohteneSs and true concern for the well
fare of the traveller that the most agreeable
person III the house should undress his legs
may add that there Is not among the Iceland
ers who perform this solemn rite the remotest
suspicion that there Is any iDdelicacy in the
performance. 1t is related OF the most pious
and famous missionary who ever visited the
island, Henderson, who distributed Bibles
throughout the island fifty years ago. that this
business of pulling off his trousers was a sad
embarrassment to him and somewhat pre-
vented the development of his vital piety. He
could not refuse to accept the hospitality of
the good people among whom he distributed
the good book, for which they were grateful in
the extreme, and he finally managed a COM
promise and systematzed it. He insisted upon
first rolling himself in Il blanket and then upon
embarrassing himself as to suspenders and
waistband, and then, and not until then he
allowed the ladies to seize the offending gar
ment by the straps (Which he uniformly wore
to keep his trousers legs down when rding)
and pull them of. SO while they took the
trousers in triumph he spared his modesty all
the rudeness of the terrible shocks that would
otherwise have been inflicted. This philo-
sophlcal and ingenious minister published a
very large volume about his troubles in Ice
land, and the story he tells about his trouble
quite pathetic and profuscly garnlshed with
DlOus reflections.

.ssrsrsST CHIEF BELT fire duty within the
limits prescribed, and in case OF the absence OF
the chief engineer assumes his duties and au-
thority. He visits the engine houses in his
district regularly every day to see that every
thing is ready for service at moments notice.
He joined the old Franklin Fire Company in
February, 1863. and served under Chief Engineer
Peabody He has attended and worked at all
the great fires i'll the city since 1861 He joined
the Washington, ID. c., fire department October.
1867, and has the distinction OF having driven
the first steam fire engine In this department
to IRE.
CHANGES IN THE SERVICE.
Time has worked many changes in the fire
department of Washington. A fire service has
been built up second to none in the country as
far as efficiency goes. Chief Paris as well as
his two assistants, are strict disciplinarians,
and this has had more to do with bringing
about the present state of efficiency Of the de-
partment than anything else. Every morn
ing the forcmen of the several companies
make written reports to the chief and these are
carefully considered. Ii anything needs at
tending to 1t IS done at once. There are at
present ten companies and ll9 men III the de-
partment. Chief Paris has used every means
to get each company strengthened by the APP
pointment of two additional men. but yet
Congress has not made provision for them.
COVERING THE CITY.
The system of governing the attendance at
fires is quite interesting. For instance, sup
pose an alarm came in from box 157, the Execu-
tive Mansion. fire companies l, 2. and and
Truck Il would respond. Now. the field which
they have Just left one would think 10 unpro-
tected, but this is not so. Immediately after
the alarm is sounded a general change in the
companies comes about and several companies
detailed to attend to any further alarms
coming from that district.
VETERANS IN THE DEPARTMENT..
Among those who belonged to the old vol
unteer fire department there are at present in
the service, Chief Paris, John L. Maddox,
foreman No. Engine Company; Vim. A. Shedd,
engineer Company No. l; Vim. French, fire
man No. l Company; Thomas Martin, engi

What Becomes of Old Hats.

From the Chicago Tribune
State street hat merchant: 'Most people
who buy hats here leave their old ones. What
becomes Of these old hats? II the body of the
hat is very old it is sold TO the old hat man,
who strips it of the band, the sweat band and
maybe the lining, il il is not too much worn.
lie usually sells these strippings for % cents.
But II the hat is only partially worn it is kept
here until the accumulation becomes too
great, and in that case the old hat man
has harvest. But those that are not
TOO much worn, which we retain, are
brushed up for the benefit of our customers.
a man comes in who wants his hat renovated.
lhe loo may require time. The man may not
want TO wait. Says, Lend me hat and we
give him one OF these. A good many of these
hats are worn to base ball games People don't
Ike to wear good hats to a ball ground. There
Is superstition that there is apt to be rain
some time during the day on which game of
ball Is played or that not ball may get loose
on the grand stand. That is why 80 many old
hats are worn to ball games"

The Sleepless Eve of Justice.

From the Cincinnati Times Star
Many stories are told at the expense Of the
well-known German ex-magistrate with the
glass eye. One day while trying a case with a
jury he fell asleep. but as the glass eye was
open the lawyers and those interested in the
case knew it not, nor that their testimony was
all for naught. They only discovered that the
genial j. p. was sound asleep when one of the
lawyers arose and asked for the decision of the
court, and not receiving an answer demanded
OF the constable what was the matter. The
constable then hastily awoke the sleepy
squire and formally stated to the assemblage
that the eye which had been open was glass.
The case had to be tried again from the start,
as the magistrate hadn't heard a word of the
testimony.

necessary to say to the people Of this city that
since he has flied the position of chief engineer
he has made most excellent officer. The
records of the fires extinguished with compare
tive small loss are too fresh in the minds OF the
public TO require detailed mention He has a
record to be proud of.
The chief engineer has sole command at fires
over all other officers and members of the fire
department and all other persons present, and
takes al proper measures to extinguish fires,
protect property, preserve order and cause
the several engines to be placed in the most

How a Noted Traveller Got Pass.


Tourist Operator Bogardus, known to tele-
graph operators in every city Of importance
throughout the United States, was in the city
Yesterday. '.Bogy," as he is Familiarity called,
has travelled all over this country and Europe,
and mostly on the contributions Of his brother
kew FOUNDERS and the passes of persistently
importuned railroad officials ''Bogy" hasn't
done a stroke of work for an interminable
length of time simply because nomadic life is
preferable. He was yesterday on his way to
Memphis with the avowed intention of
actually going to work at the key board.
Hundreds OF stories are told of 'Bogy's"
persistency in applying for railroad passes
The best of these Is, perhaps, his importunate
demands for q pass from General Manager
Williams of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton road After declining at three or four sue
cessiye visits Mr.. Williams indignantly told
Bogardus never to call again at his Office for a
pass. An hour later ''Bogy" popped his head
into the general managers Office and re-
marked:
..Mr. Williams, I haven't called for a pass; I
lust want one of FOUR time cards. I've con-
Guided to walk, and want time card so as to
keep out of the way Of regular trains"
Mr. Williams bit his lip to suppress an in
oipient smile, and ordered his clerk to write

HOPES OF FUTURE BLISS.
An Old Colored Mans Expectations of
Compensations in the Next World.

An old darkey, with many incidental grunts
and groans, was engaged in picking up stones
and broken bricks in an excavation just off 7
street near Rock creek the other day. He was
very slow about it. taking them one at a time
and throwing them very gingeriy into broken
down wheelbarrow, as if they were precious
and to be handled with extreme care. Ow-
ing to the heat of the day, he had re-
moved his coat and hung it on the corner of a
clay bank close by. The garment in question
looked as if it were made from secondhand
meal sack altered and retitted His costume
otherwise was an astonishing assemblage of
unrelated patches, and IL was hard to tell why
he should have considered it necessary to
sport three dilapiGated waistcoats ON so warm
an afternoon.
What is yo' lbbin' for, anyway, uncle?''
asked one of his fellow workmen, who was
sturdlly throwing big spadefuls of gravel up
on the bank over his head.
Oats de queshun, uncle" said another
"Wot Is 20 good for in dis world-an ole,
used-up, bald-headed nigger?"
Yes, why is 20 hbbin', uncle?" joined in a
third.
The old man dropped the half brick he had
just picked up, and, Strengthening himself as
quickly as his infrmities would permit, began
to gesticulate.
HOPES OF GLORY
Use hbbin'-Ise hbbin'," he shouted, 'be-
case dere's a time comm when 1 shall rise
right up i'll de air. Before long I'm a-goin to
bust right out into glory. Did yo' ebber see de
kind OBJ bug wot dey call de locus, dat breaks
Outen his ole shell an goes alvin

though yo' wouldn't spOse it. Dis po' mig

dressed in homemade clo'es am only a she'll

keys all de time dat you cusses are shubblin'
dirt on n grabbie bank down here"
AS he proceeded with this flight of oratory
the old man cried out louder and louder and
threw his arms about more and more violently
At the end of 1t he grasped the handles Of his
broken-down wheelbarrow and started down
hill with II, talking to himself in a sing-song
way as he went. while a depressed silence fell
upon the group of his fellow laborers so un-
| acceptably provided for i'll the picture he had
drawn.
