Bfsmarck aud the Militards.

HIpld Frederic in the NeV York Tines.
A new story about Bismarck-,he
great Bismarck we used to know--is
something of rarity. This, / think.
has never appeared in type before. 1t
was at Versailles, in that fateful Feb
ruary OF 1871, when Paris had just capi.
tuated and the spokesmen OF victorious
Germany and humbled France were hag-
Cling over the bargain of peace. Ii
was already apparent that finance was
to play prominent part in the settle
ment, and some of the ablest aud strong
est fnanciers Of Berlin and Frankfort
had been brought westward to Versailles
for counsel and assistance. At their
head was Herr Schwabach, the leading
brain in the graf Beichroder combina-
ton, but even he shrank from the respon.
sibility of managing alone so vast a trans
feral of coined wealth as contemplated,
and urged that his father in-law, Alex
ander Mendel, whom he regarded as the
astutest and most capable money. mana
ger in Europe, should be sent for from
London. This was done, and old Mr..
Mendel attended the conferences held be-
tween the parties 10 the negotiations. 1t
was at one of these that Bismarck, press
ed bIuntly to name the minimum war
indemnity which the new German en-
pire would consent to take, blurted out
these tremendous words, "Cinq mil
liards.' There was dead silence for n
moment Then Jules Favre, springipg
to his feet, poured out rhetorical and
impassioued protest against this vast ex-
action.
"Have you reflected" he asked the
chancellor, in conclusion, what such q
sum of money-fve thousand millions
really means? Why, sir, if man, mi
raculously presrved against our common
mortality, had been born on the very
first day of our Christian era, and had
ever since gone on, night and day, put
ting franc pieces one by one on pile, he
would not even by this time have got
such a mass together as you demand"
Bismarck merely smiled, and laid his
big hand on theLondon fnancier's shoul-
der. THAT is very interesting about the
Christian era man, but my friend, Mr..
Mendel, is Jew. He had been count
ing franc pieces 1000 years before your
fellow began. So you see it is all right"

A western member of Congress, who
isn't much on society, bat whose wife is,
came home one aftern ,on in Washington
aud found her just returning from a
round of visits. 'Well, my dear" he
inquired, where have you been to-day 2
"Out making party calls" she replied,
with very apparent satisfaction. Party
calIs?" he repeated. |. in puzzled interro-
CATION. "Yes, Colonel, party calls He
studied over it for minute. "Now look
here, Maria" he said earnestly, let up
on that. You attend to society aud
leave party to me. You don't know
anything about politics, even if you are
in Washington with me, and ii you get
to doing any party work you'll make a
tangle of it sure" And then Maria
gave the Colonel a laugh that made him
wonder what he was there for.

In the Minnesota House Of Represen.
tatives there has been introduced a bill
prohibiting the manufacture or use Of
hoopskirts within the border Of the State.
1t was a reminder of the McHale anti.
tights bill OF two years ago which passed
the Senate aud only needed a few votes
to go through the House. The anti.
hoopskirt measure was introduced by
George NJ. BIeecker. who represents a
Democratic constituency Of Minneapolis.
In conversation concerning the bill,
after the adjournment, Mr.. Bleecker
said:
"The bill was introduced in all serious.
ness. The hoopskirt is admitted to be a
nuisance, and, like any other nuisance,
should be abated if possible.
"Should the hoOpskirt come into gen.
eral use the male population Of St. Paul.
Minneapolis and Duluth would he forced
to desert the sidewalks and street-ca1
and take to the middle of the road, after
the manner of the Populists Of Kansas"

Cures Others

Will cure You, is a true statement OF the
action OF AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true OF
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, il cannot be truthfully applied TO
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend. and try to i'm
pose upon you, as "just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, If you need blood-puriier
and would be benefited permanently
This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed a reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint Of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence Of tho people.
