Bismarck's Strategy.

While the Germans were laying siege to
Paris about twenty years ago NJ. Theirs
cume out of the city to consult with Bis
marck about the proposed capitulation.
Of course it was the Frenchman's duty to
present u cheerful front and to seek to con-
vey the impression that things were not in
30 desperate n condition in Paris as the be-
siegers might suppose. On the other hand,
Bismarck was pretty we'll satisfied that the
besieged Parisians were being starved out,
but of course he intimated no such thing
in the presence Of M. Theirs. But after
the conference Bismarck invited M. Theirs
to dinner, and the Frenchman only too
gayly accepted the invitation.
Then it was that the willy German no.
ticed that M. Theirs ate voraciously Of the
vegetables and breads, rejected the canned
and picked foods, and partook with SEEM
ing avidity of the fresh meat. This con-
frmed Bismark's suspicious Paris was
starving. After M. Theirs went back into
the city there was found in the ~lavatory
adjoining the apartment assigned to him at
Bismarck's headquarters part of a Paris
newspaper, and from certain items in this
bit of newspaper it waa learned that the
condition Of things in Paris was even more
desperate than had beer supposed.-Eugene

the son took to the business naturally, be-

years of age he was matched by his father
to drive a trotter in a race, and that the
old gentleman's confidence in the boy was

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The Greeks and French

shameless in the matter of dowry, the Ger
mans show the least pretense of sentiment.

can, but they always mean business. One
Frenchman told a young lady who was
very rich while he was poor: do not fear.
We shall be happy. l love you too much
to allow your wealth and my poverty to
humiliate me, and we will be thus always
on the same footing" No matter how ar
dent the suit of a Frenchman of a certain
sort it cools very rapidly when he finds
there is to be no dowry.

at/the hose contests last Saturday. The
money won by the company was voted to
be used to increase the general fund and
the individual prizes were decided to be-
long to the contestants who won them.
The election of officers followed, and it
was somewhat similar to the recent demo-
cratic conventIon-offices went begging
owing probably to the slim attendance,
several members being out of town. Joseph
NJ. Edgerly was elected foreman to sue
coed John HOman without opposition.
Edgerly has been an active fireman for the
past five years or more and certainly de-
serves the honor bestowed upon him.
Angus Mcdonald was elected first assist
ant foreman, Henry Tatley second assist

John Homan treasurer, VanHOrn, Wick
