In a little pamphlet regarding the slate of the VYieeibudeiiers in Krird richsruh there husappenml a itisumtek anecdote, which shows how near (tcr ntuny onee was to losing in hiu youth her great uniner. The seme anecdote also illustrates how duels are still mutle In Germany. Bismarck first visited Wiesbaden two or three years after taking his univer sity degree. He went one evening lo the big dance hall in the Kurhauaand, during a pause between dances, sat on n sofa talking with a friend and look ing at the persons who walked by. lie hud a sharp eye and a defiant nir, even in his best tempered mood, and several men returned his looks with ill-natured (tares. Eventually a young doctor, (Justs v Lange, of Heidelberg, walked uu to tun sofa, and, fixing his eyes on Ills murck, inquired: "Why do you stare at me?" now Lange was a very ' handsome joung man and Bismarck was in a btrn- py mooo. ineae two mcu dictated II marck's answer: "Because I tike your appearance." But I do not like yours," was Lange's reply. An animated dialogue followed, Bis marck at first seeking lo appease Lange'a wrath and Lange trying his best to make trouble. The upshutw-as tnai card were exchanged in order that Lange might wipe out with blood the deadly affront of being stored at by Otto von Bismarck. Tbescconds ar ranged that the meeting should take place in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, not iar from uiebncb. Lange was adead shot with the pistol. anil pistols wire the weapons to be used in the duel. The young phymcian could hit the two-mark piece, flipped in the air, nine times out o ten. It looked bad for Bismarck. His second)! un tloubtedly felt that be was about the same as a dead man from the moment be stepped into the field, and they la bored hord to find a peaceable solution of the quarrel. The Knglieh captain, whom DismaVck had made one of his seconds, wns enpecially eager lo pre vent bloodshed, and he proposed to Lange, at the place of meeting, that the principals talk the quarrel over before risking their lives for such a trivial cause, Lange said eventtiollv Unit lie would do his beet to settle the affair wiiiiont a shot if his opponent would meet him half way. The Kiiglishmnii hurried in Biiarck with the doelor's offer of the olive lo-anch, but Bismarck would not have it. While the Kngliidi man slowly paced off the (liKtonce. stretching his legs to mukc it as long at, jMisinie, me other second argued with Blsmurck. fionge leaned ugaiiiHt a tree and said nothing. Justaa liisw.n- onds were expecting the principals to iane meir places Bismarck yielded. 'I n the stirpriite of hi seconds he did not wait for any preliminary conversation. lie wanted across the field, stretched out his hand, and remarked: Well, we will try lo live In near.. then."
