PRINCE BISMARCK IN 1892.
But let me tell you how Prince Bismarck
looks at seventy seven years of age He is
as big as any man you have ever seen, and
he stands six feet IN his stockings. He is
as straight as the mighty oaks which stand
by the tens of thousands in his forests, and
his shoulders are broad and full His
franc is that CT giant, but he keeps il
from fat by careful living, and his weight
ranges from lS6 TO 200 pounds The head
Of Prince Bismarck 10 one Of the most
striking have ever seen, and his face as
saw II. has far different expression from
that seen in his pictures. There seemed to
me an entire absence of sternness about it,
and his blue eyes were kind and smiling
They are said TO fash fire, however, when
bismarck grows angry, and he can be the
pcrEonihcstiOn of wrath. Prince Bis
marck' S bead is fully as large as that Of
Daniel Webster. 1t is rather rounder than
that seen IN Webster's best portraits. but
II shows more than Webster's strength OF
character. The forehead is broad and full
and tho top OF the head, as can be seen
from lis badness, is one OF characteristic
bumps. such IS would delight phrenolo-
gist. Bismarck's hair consists of q fine
fringe, which runs from high above his
large ears around this wide oasis of bald
ness- II is now as white as snow and the
heavy mustaehe. which shows prominently
out from under his large and full nose, is
Of frosted silver, with yeilowish tinge di-
rectly under the. nose. One Of the most
striking features OF his face is his eye-
brows. These are very heavy and they
stand out over his full steel blue eyes like
silver bristles His eyes are rather fat
and the flesh under them puffs out slightly.
though pot so much as you see in the face
Of Secretary Blaine. His chin is long and
full aud almost double and he has way OF
clearing his throat as he talks and Of NOV
ing his head back and forth in emphasis of
his words He arNcrlRfes distinctly and
his tones are by DO means unpleasant. He
does not you know, believe much IN ora
tory and ne thinks that eloquent public
speakers are more Of IN evil than good.
He once compared orators to dudes. who
wear shoes too small for them and spend
their time IN sticking their feet eout to be
looked at His manner OF speaking is more
like thai Of our best after-dinner orators
and he uses the simple conversational style.
saying the most striking things in most
striking way with little apparent emotion.
He talks ia the same tone in private con-
and he is said to be one Of the
most entertaining takers Ia Europe. Hel
has no aira 0f either tone or language and
ne made everyone feel perfectly at home
At this FEAST he is too great man to be
snoobish and 7 was not surprised at his
great simplicity Of manner.
Prince Bismarck dresses as simply as he
tsiks. He wore yesterday long double
breasted frock coat bnttoned well up over
bis broad chest, and pair of dark panta-
Icons. Around his neck white necktie-
ike stock shope out ABOVE white shirt
and upon bis head q soft white felt nat
