He smoked five pipes, one after the

ing forbidden him to take any alcoholic
drinks since March.

the prince incredulously.

DR.. Schweninger describes his histOr-
ical return to the dying chancellor. He
says:
Death was due to want of air in the
lungs. He imagined that death would
result from sudden paralysis of the
brain or heart. There had always been
trouble in the leg since the St. Peters
burg incident; but this was by no means
so bad at the time of his death as at
many times previously. The rapid clos
ing of the coffin was dictated by no
desire to prevent anybody whatever
from seeing the body
Passing from his professional to his
private relations with Prince Bismarck,
DR.. Schweninger relates that Bismarck
had repeated to him again and again
that his dismissal was his death SEN
tence. It robbed him of the whole OBJ
ject of his life The hermit of Fried
richsruhe had no field in which to ex-
ercise his energy.
His superb energy OF soul, says Df-
Schweninger, was intense. Often did
he say to me the old Romans vOlun-
tarily took leave of life when they were
forced to quit the scene of their activ-
ity. but this fate is not for me-
EulOgizing Prince Bismarck's con-
versational powers, DR.. Schweninger
says:
I remember not long since listening
to him discuss a particular subject
which had better be left unmentiOned-
In his passion he suddenly clasped his
head with both hands and stOrmed: If
I could but interfere in this disgusting
business and tell them what result it
VIII have; but, as you know, Schwen-
niger, my trumpet will sound no long
err 1t no longer holds wind
'Mournfully the Iron Chancellor look
ed into the political future. We are
advancing toward difficult and danger
Gus times he would say.
Despite his temperament Bismarck $
pulse was scarcely sixty to the minute.
His lungs were magnificent. One breath
a minute would have sufficed him If
necessary.
This character, which I got to know
as no one else, was simplicity itself
The phrase, No one is great in the
eyes of his valet did not apply to Bis
marck.'

highest measure goes without saying, for
they are animated by the high profession
al spirit which distinguishes the navy ana

But from my personal observa ton ana
knowledge I desire to add to this, that
equally marked have been the intelligence,
the wide judgment, the comprehensive
fOrethOught and the unfailing competency
to meet every exigency which have dis
May it not be said that not one error
has been made? Proper control by the
department has been exercised over all
movements in the field, and yet at the
duly left to exercise discretion and have
never been hampered in their work 1

DON'T WANT TO GET OUT.
Officers of the Second Regiment May
Get Another Chance.

And still the effort to keep the Second
North Carolina regiment in service con-
tinues-on the part of the officers.
Col. Andy Cowles has been to Wash
ington half a dozen times. more or less,
to have the muster out order rescinded.
But he accomplishes nothing.
Failing to influence the Secretary of
War directly he determined to bring the
Governor to his assistance To this end
he seated himself. pen in hand, in the
writing room of the Ebbtt and began
writing botty interviews for the Wash
ington Post.
In these wonderful productions Jim
Young was praised, Russell was en-
dorsed, the Democrats We're denounced
and a Fusion victory predicted.
Coaxed by fattery spreao on so thick
Governor Russell has been induced to
write letter to the Secretary of War
asking that the Second be kept in ser
vice. Preparatory to this, however, Col.
Burgwyn went to Washington and added
his protest to that of Cowles against be-
ing mustered out.
As Il result of this visit and the Cover
nor's letter the Secretary of War has
decided to allow the soldiers to vote on
the question of muster OUT or mo mus
ter out" if Capt. Todd. the muster out
officer thinks it advisable.
Capt. Todd was, therefore. directed
yesterday to investigate and report to
Adjutant General Corbin on the advisa-
billy of pursuing the course recommended
by Coils. Cowles and Burgwyn and en-
dorsed by Governor Russell
