PRINCESS BISMARCK PASSES
TO THE GRAVE.
AND IT'S FEARED HER HUS
BAND WILL FOLLOW SOON.

Berlin, Nov. 27.-Princess Bismarck,
wife of Prince bismarck. died at Var
Yin, at o'clock this morning.
Princess Bismarck duchess of Lau-
enburg,) wife of Prince Bismarck, has
been in poor health for q long time.
Her illness became pronounced two
months ago.
She was deeply affected and received
severe shock when the death of her
lifelong friend, Frau Eugene Reckow,
prioress of the Stolp institution for un-
married women, was announced.
Three weeks ago DIR. Schweninger
was called to Friedrichsruhe to pre-
scribe for serious attack of neural
gia. Since that time she has been al
most continually under the care of
physicians.
All the family were at her bedside.
Count Herbert Bismarck arrived yes
terday evening and was present when
his mother passed away.
Although it is feared that the effects
of his wifc's death upon the prince
will be serious, it is satisfactory to add
that the great chancellor has been in
better health lately and that he has
been able to resume his daily drives.
The princess was brought up re.
ligiously, but hers was bright, lively
nature, gifted with goodly portion of
natural wit, with fine taste and feel
ings. Very musical and splendid
player of the piano, she was at the
same time careful. sensible house
wife, and, after the manner of the
noble ladies of former days, she is
said to have had some knowledge of
medicine.
With genuine womanliness she Great
ed for her husband home full of com
fort and genial warmth, and intelll-
gently shared for years his grief and
hopes. sometimes even, as is evident
from some passages in Bismarck's let
tiers to her to n certain measure in
political questions, although, as a
rule, she did not belong to the class of
women who take active part in poll
tics.
Her correspondence with him, when
official duties or.pleasure trips separat-
ed them geographically, was very live
ly and affectionate. He called her my
heart" my dearest heart" in his
letters; he sent her jassamine from
Peterhof, blooming heather from Bor-
deaux, and promised to send her Edel-
weiss from Gastein, where on the six
teenth anniversary Of their wedding
day, he remembered that this day had
brought sunshine into his bachelor
life.
Dresden, Nov. AT public meet
ing held here it was resolved to erect
a large monument in honor of Prince
Bismarck and public subscriptions will
be collected for that DurpOSe

THE GRAVE ON Pixies PEAK

One OF the Humorous Fancies of the Sig
nal-Service Mon There.
A few rods from the signal observers
hut lot of small stones had been piled
up to resemble grave, and wooden
headboard throws shadow upon them
when the western sun is low. The aver
age visitor, says the Chicago Record,
approaches it with solemn air, and
when he reads the inscription he turns
glance of surprised inquiry upon
whoever may be standing by. The in
scription represents the grave to be
that of a lady who was eaten by rats
on the summit of Pixies Peak one night
in 1875, which, of course, is something
that never happened. Along about
that time some newspaper fakir pub
lished a yarn in the east about the hor-
rible death of o woman who was spend
ing the flight on the top of this noun
tain, and it was generally copied by
the press of the country. There was
no foundation for it, and it created u
great deal Of Indignation here. When
the railroad was first opened the in
fluence of the press was demonstrated
by the number of inquiries that were
made of the weather observers con-
corning this unfortunate woman, and
the signal service officers, who have
very little to occupy them, displayed
their humor and spent their spare time
in fixing up this grave and painting
the inscription on the headstone.
it is n fact, however, that there
are lots of rats on the top Of Pixies
Peak, and where they come from and
how they live nobody can explain.
The man in charge of the restaurant
told me they had to set traps every
night, and generally caught two or
three, but this did not seem to diminish
the number. Down on the mountain
woodchucks, squirrels, chipinunks and
other bur rowing game can be found
but the rats that haunt the signal sta
ton arc q mystery.

TATTooEp SNAKES.

Sailors Capture Reptiles and Print Por-
lions OF tho Biblo on Them.
Anyone who will take the trouble to
walk into certain shop in Piccadilly,
not far from the Egyptian hall, will be
rewarded by seeing species of snake,
known as the lemon boa, with the
whole of the third chapter of Genesis
tattooed on it's body. The reptile, ac-
cording to London writer's, is only
lent for exhibition, but the gentleman
who purchased it states that on board
the South American sailing vessel, the
scene of this remarkable tattooing, it
is common diversion among the sail
ors to capture live snakes, extract their
fangs and cover tho body with any
number of inscriptions, legends and de-
vices, and then dispose of the reptiles
ut the first port.
Few of the purchasers, however, care
to have charge of live snake-be they
ever so harmlcss--so it is customary to
either stuff these latter with fine straw
and putty, or else immense them in
alcohol, although this process COM
monty has the effect of taking all the
brilliancy out Of the pigments en-
ployed.
In the case of long and extremely
fine inscriptions alcohol shows up and
preserves these to great advantage. A
sailor spent six months in tattooing
one of the Sketches by Boz" contain
ing four thousand five hundred and
twenty-six words, upon tho skin of q
rattlesnakc, which he aftcrward sold
for eight guineas

DUELING IN THE ARMY.
Meetings on tho Field OF Honor OF Which
the Public Never Hears.

Meetings on tho ticld OF Honor OF Which
the Public Nevcr Hears.
Good United States people roll their
eyes in holy horror VIXEN they read
about the free and easy manner in
which dueling is practiced abroad,
says the Washington Star. Just now
they are in tremor Of indignation
over the recent ukase of the emperor
of Russia, which was addressed to
his army and navy officers, and in
nize the necessity Of fighting duels
under certain circumstances. If these
pious people were aware Of how much
real dueling occurs in the regular army
which protects the dignity of the
American flag they would begin to
hold mass meetings.
While our army is not as largo as
those of other countries, its young Of
1icers are as quick and ready to resent
an insult in the manner recognized by
the code as any continental wearer of
cpauieJtes iu existence. And they do
it, too. Affairs like the Maney-Hed-
berg tragedy are, of course, uncom.
mon, but any man well informed in the
personnel of the army and the lifc at
the various posts knows that there are
many occasions when differences arise
between officers which are not settled
until the approved number of PAGES
are measured off aud the two principals
in the difficulty take shot or two mt
each other. There is never any fatal
result, but there are many army Off
Ia, h, ,.yI,
sears of wounds that were never in

Thon They Split
"Womcn play odd tricks on one an
other sometimes" said smart Amer
lean woman; "but the queercst ever
heard of was porpctratcd by one social
leader in n western city upon another.
They were rivals, and hated each other
accordingly, though outwardly they
preserved the scmblance of pleasant
relations. Every chance that either
got to give dig at the other was
eagerly seized, but the final and most
effective stroke, after which no calls
were exchanged, was delivered by Mrs.
L. She sent out cards for grand en-
tertainmcnt, and then took pains to
find out What Mrs. f., her competitor,
was going to wear, A gorgeous bro
caded satin was the material of Mrs.
F.'sgown, it was ascertaincd. Accord
ingly Mrs. H., whose husband was in
the dry-goods business, obtained sew
eral hundred yards of the same idcn-
teal stuff and drapcd the walls of all
the rooms on the lower floor OF her
house with it, You may imagine the
feelings of Mrs. L. on arriving in her
superb new frock, which she expected
to make n sensation. Naturally she
ordered her carriage and drove away
in tears"
