GREATEST OF TABLE TAKERS.
Vo1ubi1ity of the Iron Chancellor
While at His Meals,

While at His Meals.
When in the course of his tour around
the world Gen. Grant went to Berlin
and had an interview with Prince Bis
marck-then at the height of his pow
er-he carried away with him the i'm
preston that the German Chancellor
was the most interesting conversation
alist he had ever met. Carl Schurz, who
subsequently came to Berlin and was
entertained by the Chancellor, said
that the best table takers he had ever
known were Mazzini and Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, but that Bismarck was
better than either.
1t was strange anomaly that one
of the wisest men and best table talk
born on "All Fools Day"--the best of
takers, because the greatest man of ac-
ton, of modern times. And how infin-
itely more interesting must ever be the
talk of man who has done great
things than that of a man who has only
thought great thoughts! Bismarck him
self never published his autobiography,
if he ever wrote one. But when his own
memoirs come to see the light it will
be found that much OF their interest
has been discounted by the autobiog-
raphy which he has already spoken.
For, in addition to being the greatest
actor Of his time in the literal meaning
of the word-doer, achiever, author of
events, maker Of history~-he has also
been one Of the greatest takers in the
sense employed by Gen. Grant and Carl
Schurz, and much of his talk has been
about his own accomplishments. In
deed, there might now be written an in
geniously compiled book entitled Bis
marck. BY HIMSELF, in which nothing
would be used but the Princes own
words.-Reyiew of Reviews.
