BISMARCK'S CONTEMPT FOR MOBS.
The Great German Took No Stock in "The
Majesty of the People,"

Tho Great German Took No Stock in "The
Majesty of the People,"
It has been one of the secrets OF Bis
marck's strength that he has never let him
self be imposed upon by inflated talk about
the "majesty of the people," The democracy
has been in his eyes mere multitude OF
mediocrities. Scent imbeciles ne font pas
un sage" said Voltaire, and though La
Roohefoucauld inclines to the contrary
opinion in some Of his well-known aphor-
isrns, it is provable fact that the only sue
cessful rulers are those who have had eyes
enabling them to analyze the compo-
nent elements of crowd. AS sports
men delight in tales of the chase, and
soldiers in anecdotes of war, so Bismarck
has always taken peculiar pleasure in
stories showing how one man by presence
of mind has mastered an angry mob, or
outwitted it, or coaxed it into good humor. A
sure way to make him laugh is to tell him
such stories, and it must be added that he
likes them all the better when they exhibit the
bon enfant side of the popular character.
During the siege of Paris while he was at
Versailles pass was applied for or by s; rels
critic and member of the French academy.
The chancellor at once gave the pass, say
ing: IN. Fleury is an admirable man: l
know a capital story about him." The
story was this: M. Fleury, who had been
tutor to tho duo d'Aumale, was in 1S4S
private secretary to the duchess of Orleans.
When the revolution of February broke out
rabble invaded the Palais Royal, where
the princess resided. and began smashing
works Of art, pictures, statuettes and
knicknacks All the household was seized
with panic except NJ. Fleury, who,
throwing of his coat, smeared his face and
hands with coal. caught up q poker, and
rushed among the mob, shouting: Here,
I'll show you where the best pictures are"
So saying, he piled his poker upon furniture
of no value, and, thus winning the conf
dence of the roughs, was able to lead them
out of the royal apartments into the kitchen
regions, where they spent their patriotic
fury upon the contents of larder and cellar.
The sequel of this story is very droll and
Bismarck relates it with great relish. A
few days after he had saved the Palais
Royal. II. Fleury was recognized in the
streets as the Duchess of Orleans secretary
and mobbed. He was being somewhat
roughly hustled when a hulking water car
rier elbowed his way through the throng
and roared: "Let that man be! He is one
of the right sort. He led us to the pillage
of the Palais Royal the other day.

Public Road inspectors.

We notice that in a number Of
parishes, the police jaries have ap-
pointed q parish road Inspector,
who is charged with the general
supervision af all public roads. We
think this IS a wise move, which will
not fail to better the condi ton Of the
roads, but also secure a uniformity of
excellence. We commend the plan
and endorse the following adtice
from he Morehoase Clarion, which
some Of our parishes would do we'll

A tall man, with brown beard
and clear blne eyes, came TO Atlanta
last week. He wore a salt.af light
gray doeskin jeans and a SLOUGH hat,
and his general appearance was
that ofan old time planter. He
was a planter, but not OF the old
times. Mr. John P. Richardson
is hardly old enough to remember
back Of the war, but he owns M.sis-
sippi plantations with thousands Of
acres and has in addition large
Interests in Chattanooga and ID the
big Mississippi mills that make the

Miss. not many miles from Yazoo

the rich black land that made much
trouble in Georgia a hundred years
ago. aud was finally coded to the
government TO make more states.
OF this vast estate, which is eleven
miles long, 5000 acres are In active
cultivation most Of in Ia cotton.
On the farm there are three or four

This value of land there is cons

a plantation of 1000 acres sold for
$4,000, and not long ago it sold
for $50, 0e0. If the land was worked

almost every acre would make two
