dered-Debate on the Wool Bill.
The attendance OF the members In the
House was again msager to-day, aud this
fact was emphasized by Bailey Of Texas,
who. without antagonizing the special
measure, made the point of no quorum
present. and several bills called up had to
be withdrawn In order to clear the track for
the regular business of the House.
Catchings Of Mississippi for the Commit
tee On Rules reported back the resolution
for the appointment of a special committee
of seven members to investigate the charges
made against the Census Bureau. Catch
ings demanded the previous question, W here

simple but substantial meals, and recree-
tion by means If plenty of exercise in the
open air.
Especially when at one of his three couu-
try seats-Frederichsruh. VarZin or Schoen-
hauseu-he really lives like a nobleman Of
the old time. Every detail pertaining to his
estates he oversees himself. paying particu-
lar attention even TO the comfort Of his
-farmhands. In all the villages surround
ing Varzn and Friedrlchsruh. where he
prefers TO dwell, he is liked by poor and
rich, and whenever he passes the children
will greet him with ."Guten tag. Herr Bis
marck."
His mode of living. as is well known, is
peculiar. He does not rise earlier than
O'Clock. and then, after taking a cup of
coffee, ne looks over his mail. Should the
weather be favorable he takes walk with
his family about IL o'cloek-if in Berlin,
through his and his neighbors' magnificent
gardens. which adjoin the public park
(Thiergarten), and If at one of his country
seats, TO his beloved forests or to the near
fields. On these promeDades he wears q
heavy cane.
Exactly at O'Clock he sits down to din
ner, which generally lasts two and often
three hours. After the English style every
dinner contains fish, which dish the Prince
likes very much and Of which he eats
heartily. He is one of those who firmly be-
lieve in the old theory that the phosphoric
substance contained in fish contributes To
the restoration of the brain mass. He gen.
orally has very coed appetite. Every day
some diplomatic or military men or friends
dine with him.
From to Q o'clock I'm the evening the
Prince remains with his family and then
works alone, often till o'clock at night
During these nightly studies his insepa-
rable companions are long smoking pipe
and bumper filled with beer, of which he
drinks copiously. Kegs Of the brown liquid
are frequently presented to him by some of
the famed breweries of Germany.
