A last weeks 'left over" paragraph of our Stafford Hollow correspondents says The warm weather of the past week makes it appropriate to mention other cases of warm weather.

All this was certainly warm for the season.

peror is spoken of rs the most impor.

was not the most valuable. But Bis
marck, Notwithstanding his warlike and
businesslike qualities, is and eve has
been a man of sentiment, and the Schoen-
hansen estate, his ancestral home, is
easily first in his affections of all his
possessions.
Bismarck's expenses have been much
smaller since his retirement than they
were during his official career. They are
important items in his yearly outgo be-
ing the amounts expended for the main
~tenance Of his many guests. Here are
some figures made q year or two ago,

reduction during the last few years and
perhaps cannot be regarded as net, above
the expenses of running and maintain

derstood that there are mortgages ag-

doubt that the ex-chancellor is very
comfortably fixed for tho rest Of his
life.
bismarck's declining years are being
passed in all atmosphere of the greatest
tranquility, q tranquility that affords
a most striking contrast to the years Of
storm and stress that made up his youth,
his early manhood and his middle life
and extended we'll into the period Of

SIMoNosEKI, March 28.-As Ii Hung

returning to his lodgings in this place,
after having attended Il conference
with Count Ito and Visconnt Mutsu,
the Japanese peace plenipotentiary, a
young Japanese fired "A pistol at him.

tions, he has always been a great lover
Of Gods fog footed creatures. His
fondness for his dogs has eve been
of his most conspicuous personal char
acteristics, and he has often said he
could trust these dumb companions far
more implicitly than he could any hu-
man friend, while for the grim man
whose genius united the German en-
pire four footed creatures have always
fully ~reciprocated the regard bestowed
upon them.
1t has often been said of Bismarck
that he was loved by the women as
much AZ he was feared by the men, yet
domesticity has always been one Of his
chief virtues. The affection subsisting
between himself and his wife was a
really touching thing to see, and his
grief when she died not long ago was
profound. The story Of his tempestuous
probably never been duplicated. In his
youth he was an extremely wild fellow.
He was a duelist, q hard drinker, a fan.
tastic practical joker, and he had no
rivals in these directions in all Ger
many. Indeed his days as a student were
days rendered b~urdensOme to the tutors
and the professors Of the university he
attended,
For some time even after he left
school his career was lively and pictur.
esque, but finally having met the charm
ing Fraulein Puttkamer, he started out,
as he told one of his friends, on a chase
for a wife. The Young lady s family did
not fancy the e~rratic, hard drinking
young fellow and let no opportunity
pass for acquainting him with their sen
timents. This, however, did not abash
him in the least. When he was quite
ready to claim her, he did SO by putting
his arm about her in the presence of her
father and mother and an assemblage of
relatives and announcing his intention
Of marrying her. There was a bit Of a
storm, but it soon blew over, and the
young girls parents eve had occasion
to regret the winning of their daughter
by Otto o Bismarck.
The only time in all his life that any
thing in the least approached a scandal
was breathed about him came when he
allowed himself to be photographed
many years ago in company with Lucca,
then one Of the most famous singers in
the world.
Between Bismarck and the c~antatrice
there was nothing but a casual ~acquaint-
ance. The singer realized, however, that
to be photographed upon the same card
with the most powerful man of Europe
would advertise her better than any.
thing else that could be devised. She
had the temerity to ask his consent, and
he had the good nature to acquiesce.
The result was all Lucca could have de-
sired III the way Of an advertisement,
but 1t brought to Bismarck a kind and
degree OF notOriety that he had not an
ticipated and led to his being very care
ful never again to be. ~entangled in a
similar way. N. l. DEXTER.
