were still remembered In Gottingen:
in Pomerania his nume was familiar,

three or four years in Parliament, and

was all; he had given no sign of genius,
no proof of statesmanship.
Herbert, tho older of Bismarck’s two
sons, was horn at tho end of 1849. He
was educated at Frankfort, Berlin and
Bonn, at the last of which cities he
took his university degree. When ihe
war with France began, Herbert was

nich and Dresden, and then became
Secretary of Legation ut Bern. From

ant secretaries. That he might give
special attention to different language«
und -taatoms, he was for some time con­
nected with the legation at London,
then with that at St. Petersburg,
and finally advanced to the posi­
tion of German Minister at The Hague,
By 1835 his progress had been so satis­
factory to his father That the latter
thought It time for Count Herbert
to begin to learn how to play
the great game of diplomacy at Ber­
lin. ilo was therefore recalled
advanced to the Under-Secrotaryship
for Foreign Affairs. Since then he
has been nromoted to the Secretary­
ship, and In his diplomatic position
ranks next to his father. An educa­
tion In diplomacy could not be more
complete or more logical; and It might
be doubted If there was ever another
one so much so.
Since the advent of the youthful
Emperor tho old Chancelor seems to
find groat pleasure In seeing the two
men of the future yoked together and
parading before all Europe as if
they were the real leaders of Ger­
many. Young Bismarck has been
the almost constant companion and
adviser of the Ern|>eror In his recent
travels. Unless this Intimacy ceases,
or the present Chancelor die* within a
year or two, evory thing seems to in­
dicate that Count Herbert will oe his
father's successor.
In personal appearance Count Her­
bert Is one of the very few handsome
men one sees In Gormany outside of
the army. Like his father, he Is ove?
six feet In height, and Is of splondld
proportions. His face is finer than his
father's, and consequently does not
•how so much intense personal energy.
Instead of the father's fine bald head
and white mustache, the son naa a
heavy growth of dark brown hair and
a dense mustache of the same color. —
