THE EXCELLENCE on SYRUP on FIGS

simplicity of the combination, but also
TO the care and skill with which il is

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup OF Figs has
given TO millions of families, makes
the name Of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. IL Is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts ON the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating OF weaken

Discovered a New island on the Horn.
(From the Philadelphia Record. }

(trom the Philadelphia RecOrd.)
1t does not often fall to the lot Of a
navigator nowadays to discover a new
island, but such a distinction is claim
ed by Capt. Pande of the Norwegian
ship Prince Edward, which is now dis
charging at Girard Point piers a cargo
Of manganese ore from Carrizal, Chilli.
The captain was on his way to Phila-
delphia from that distant port when.
on March 9. in the South Atlantic
ocean, he discovered a new and I'M
known island in latitude AZ degrees
south and longitude So degrees 80 min
utes west.
The island is not very large, only 500
feet long and 40 feet wide, but Capt.
Pande thinks it big enough to bear a
name, and he is thinking of naming it
Dewey island, in honor of the distin-
guished admiral. The new land, which
is undoubtedly of volcanic origin, lies
in the track Of all vessels rounding
Cape Horne outward or homeward
bound. The water in it's vicinity was
found to be very warm. The sea broke
| over it with great force, and the wa
tiers had disturbed appearance. There
| was also an entire absence Of the WELL
| defined currents known to all naviga-
tors.
Soundings in the vicinity, made at
| Capt. Pande's orders, showed the wa
ter to be 1000 feet deep all around the
island. At a long distance the new
land appears to be well defined, but at
night it might easily cause the loss OF
any vessel striking it, as there is moth
ing to warn mariners of impending
dangers.

How Blsnasck Worked.

The prince used to prepare himself
for answering questions put In Parlia-
ment; ne was very indignant at the
practice, and at the meeting OF the
ministry when the matter was dis
cussed declared: Il must speak
straight out, and should like to be as
rude as possible without being insult
ring" He made use Of several express
sions, asking the minister Of justice II
those were insults. The minister. be-
ing conscientious, was obliged to say
yes. Then the prince grew angry, ex-
claiming that in that case 1t would be
better that he should not answer at all,
but leave it to Camphausen. the vice.
president of the council. Herr Won
Tiedemann describes the Office hours
in the chancellery, which began early
and ended late. At that time Prince
Bismarck rose only toward noon. He
worked hard from IL to s, and again
from 9 till late at night. Tiedemann
seldom left his office before A. NJ.
It was not easy to read to the prince.
He demanded suscitating extract
Gas he called it) of everything. and de-
clared, however complicated matter
might be, it's kernel might be extracted
in few words. His subordinates
gradually accustomed themselves to
speak in. and Tiedemann often con-
densed more than hundred para
graphs into the space Of ten minutes.
But the preparation for such a report
had cost several hours study. AS
soon as the reading was over Bismarck
gave his decision without moments
reflection. 1t was astonishing with
what certainty he hit upon the impor-
tant points. Never did he hesitate. but
always knew what he wanted. If any
thing did not interest him, he said. do
what you like" He wrote very little,
preferring to dictate. Since Killmann's
bullet grazed his right thumb he had
found 1t awkward to hold a quill pen.
His method of dictation was strange.
He spoke in jerks. sometimes with long
pauses. and then SO rapidly that it
was difficult to follow him. His thought
and expression were SO rich that ne
frequently uttered two or three tauto-
logical phrases. and then said, Please
choose the most fitting" AS he might
never be interrupted (for. strange to
say. he then lost the thread of his
thought,) it was all the more difficult
to follow him. Butcher did this more
readily. for he was a stenographer, but
Tiedemann was not and so he seldom
could write a whole sentence, and had
to be content to catch the most impor-
tant turns of speech, sometimes only
single word. Afterword it was his
business to work the sentence out
Exchange.
