Bismarck's Fortune.
COLUMBUS, IND.
TCourrier des Etats Unis.1

Bismarck refused the title of duke on
the ground that his income was not
sufficient to enable him to support the
burdens which the thing would bring
upon him; but in reality he refused be-
cause he could not very we'll accept an
honor which might look like compen-
sation for his removal. We have the
most trustworthy information to prove
that the fortune of Bismarck at the
present moment may be estimated at
more than 500, 900 income. He is one
of the largest land proprietors of Prus-
sia. He owns brewery, a paper fac
tory, saw mill and distilleries. He
was always proud to say that every
thing that was consumed in his house
was the product of his own property.
The donations given to him on several
occasions formed the greater portion of
his fortune. His property at Varzin
was purchased by him in 1866, after the
war with Austria, with the 100000
which were then presented to him.
After the war of 1871 Emperor William
took out of the indemnity milliards
$500, 900 for M. de Bismack, and this
sum served to purchase the great do
main of FREDERICKSBURG. This latter
castle is remarkable for its simplicity.
There are some portions of it that are
simply whitewashed and without any
ornamentation whatever. Up to 1845
Bismarck was obliged to live rather
modestly, and, as he himself admits, he
did not resist the temptation of gam
bling, in the hope that chance would
favor him. The inheritance of his faith
er bettered his pecuniary situation
and brought him the property of
Schoenhausen, and it was shortly after
that when he married Johanna Won
Puttkamer. For some time Bismarck's
charity was eagerly solicited, but the
old chancellor was always economical,
and he rarely responded to appeals for
aid. A few years ago he caused to be
inserted in the papers a singular ad-
vertisement declaring that it was USE
less to ask him for assistance.

notable period when no contendipl
parties had each other by the ear
and therefore the party Is not entitles
to exclusive credit. Nor Is Alaska. be
cause that iciele is the frigid gift of the
Republican party. But all the acces

to the country, and all of this splendid
heritage was given in the face Of op

reasonable, at least most uhpatriotiC
utterances.
A magnificent domain in itself. It's
northren boundary stretches out fol
l,6OO miles before reaching the Pacific;
its coast line 800 miles, its north line
1000 miles, and its river line the whole
length of the Mississippi and more.
Within this boundary is found q land
of varied condition, but most of which
possesses elements of wealth TO the peo-
pie and to the government. Its auri-
ferrous ores glistening in the eyes of the
world; the products of its grazing
grounds reach the sea and cross it.
Its golden cereal is quoted in the
worlds great marts. It's luscious fruits
gladden. the palates of the people in
many climes and its grand scenery at
tracts the lovers of the beautiful from
far and near. Upon every league of
this vast expanse-from the mouth of
the Father of Waters to the far away
Cape Flattery, from the Gila to the
Lake of the Woods-the Democratic
footprint is seen, and the sign-manual
OF the party is set in characters of un-
fading glory.
While still holding the map take COM
prehensive view and make COMPARE
son of the relative size of the original
area and with the area west of the
Mississippi. Then imagine if it be not
too humilating process that that riv-
er formed the western boundary of this
glorious country! That imagining. but
for the Democratic party, would to-
day be reality, with England or other
monarchies in control of the whole vast
region beyond. 1t requires little fancy
to conjure up the succession of uuarreIs.
braWls, and disturbance of various
kinds that always characterize the peo-
pie along such boundary, not to men
ton graver and complicated interna-
tional questions that would inevitably
arise from this contiguity. Then would
we sigh with vain regret over "what
might have been" if the tide had been
taken at its flood. But thanks to the
Democratic party such imaginings were
anticipated. The wisdom of its lead
ers dictated the course that was to re-
dound to the glory and welfare of the |
nation. Schooled in the resolution,
their minds expanded with the happy
close of the great struggle, and they |
saw with prescient eye, the grand pos
of the years to come.
When the young man has studied
the parties, as many do, with the view
of choosing party affiliations, and has,
as well as he may, mastered the princi-
pies and policies of the two great con-
tending parties of to-day, he will feel
an additional pride in allying himself
with the Democracy. In the contem-
Dlation of its great and worthy past, he
will feel that he has in some sort
part and parcel in its grand achieqe-
nents. ALARIC.

Thousands Poisoned.

In recent work on heart disease. DR..
Franklin Miles-the noted specialist-gives
many new and startling facts. Thousands
of people are slowly poisining themselves,
weakening their heart by the use of tea, cof-
fee, tobacco and alcohol. These are heart
whips, causing it to beat rapidly, thus grad
ully wearing it out, producing shortness of
breath when exercising, pains in side and
shoulder, hungry and faint spells. Finally
swelling of the ankles and sudden death. For
weakened and irritated heart the press every
where highly recommend the New Heart
Cure discovered by DR.. Franklin Miles, which
is for sale at /. Leists.

THE ARr OF MeNpINe.

Every Girl should Acquire 1t Early
Possible.
There is nothing more important in
the instruction OF the children of the
household than systematic lessons in
mending As soon as little girl is
able to handle a needle she should be
taught to darn her stockings and sew
on shoe buttons As soon as she has
mastered these arts. she should be
taught how TO lay patches; not in hap
hazard fashion. but neatly and fatty.
matching the pattern Of the goods and
laying the patch the proper way OF the
cloth. A patch, put on properly and
pressed after IL is put on, can hardly be
recognized as patch- The darning of
cloth is an art by itself which even ex-
pert seamstresses do not always under
stand. The edges of the rent should be
brought together, and the needle run
through the cloth between the inside
and the outside in such way as to con-
eeal the stitches When the darn is
dampened and pressed, Ii becomes al
most inv. v.sible, and can only be found
after the closest inspection 1t will be
long time before little girl can do
such neat work as this, but she should
be encouraged in every way to try.
Lessons in mending should be ven as
a stimulus to economy as we'll as good
needle-work- A girl who has been prop
erly brought up, and is compelled to do
her own mending, viii be more careful
Of her clothes than one who is at no
pains to mend rents. For this reason If
1t Is considerable more trouble to over
see mending than to do it yourself the
child should do it, not only for the sake
of the instruction, but in order that she
may suffer from her carelessness If the
rent Is the result of carelessness.
An important part of all mending Is
the ripping and preparing the work for
mending. II the garment needs re-
lining it is often desirable to make it
over entirely, in which case it should be
ripped thoroughly. The thread should
be brushed off and the garment cleaned.
There are many ways of cleaning ma
terials that can not be washed Deli
cate silk ribbons and other silk may be
sponged with little alcohol diluted
with water. Stains caused by ecids may
usually be taken out by weak solution
of ammonia and water Woolen goods,
that are too much faded t. be made
over, may often be dyed and combined
With little new silk and may give as
much wear as they did before. There is
always special sat sfaction in making
over a new dress that had seemed to be
past it's usefulness and in finding it able
to serve again and perhaps look better
than it did when it was new. The se-
cret of the proverbially economical and
well-dressed French-woman's success
lies not only in her taste, but in her
ingenuity in making over and repairing

economical women are usually the best

care of their clothes, while women who
spend money lavishly on their attire are
often slovenly to the end,--N. Y.

A glimpse of walter Damro.eh.

Mr.. Walter Damrosch undoubtedly
stands near the head of American con-
ductors; If not in experience, at all
events in musical culture. He is 2s
years old, rather slight, but with well
squared shoulders and straight as an
arrow. He has none of the foppery OF
long hair and outre dress that lesser
musicians affect. A keen faced, intel
lectual American, with deep set hazel
eyes and fine manners-that is Mr..
Damrosch. Perhaps his manner is
hardly American. There is hint OF
European suavity in it that is not ma
tive to young and bustling country.
This comes naturally enough. Mr..
Damrosch was born in Breslau When
9 years old, however, he went to New
York, and New York has since been his
home. Chicago Tribune.
