HE "Iron Hand'' of Bismarck was
beginning to be felt In the poli
tics of Europe in the latter part
of the fifties of the past, cen
tury. . Previous to this the OtfiS
man nation, or at least the aggressive
element of that oountry, had begun to
look upon him as a powerful man who
was to lead their country successfully
throurh ,the trying vlclBSltudes and to
carry out the policy of uniting the Ger
mans under one head wmcn was iob
tered in the mind of King William..
- it was in the late fall Of the year
1862 that his majesty summoned him
from Paris to assume the post of minister-president
Less than a fortnlgtft
aftenhla arrival .at Berlin be made his
first speech at a sitting of the budget
committee. - He argued for military re
form aa a requisite for a national pol
icy. To "this argument was presented
by those opposed to him that it would
be much better, for the government to
aim at making; moral conquests by a
liberal policy.
Thereupon, it is said, Bismarck pro
duced his pocketbook and took from
It a little twig with a few dried leaves
upon it "I broujht this olive leaf with
me from Avlgn9n," he said, "In order
to offer it to the progressists as a sym
bol of peace, but I Bee that I am much
too soon with it" This remark being
received with a smile,' the chancellor
aroused himself to sterner speech.
"Germany," he said, "does not look
to the liberalism, but to the power of
Prussia, and Prussia must pull herself
together , so as not again to miss the
favorable moment Not by speechify
ing and by resolutions, as In 1848 and
18.14, can; thg great question, of the time
be decided, but by blood and Iron."
And with this he crushed the olive
leaves In the palta ot his band., sprlnks.

the history of the famous "olive twig
of Avignon," as well as of the still
more famous phrase which character
ized the policy that was to make Ger
many one, and give to Bismarck his fa
miliar nickname of "The Iron Chan
cellor." Conversing soon after this with Dr.
Frederick Oetker a Hessian deputy,
Bismarck complained that his mean
ing had been perverted In the report of
the speech. "Blood" had had only used
as a synonym for "soldiers." he said.
It was not the first time that Bis
marck had used the phrase in reference
to the policy he conceived as best under
the circumstances, but it was the first
time he used It as a spokesman of his
government The germ of the phrase In
Bismarck's mind was found in a letter
from St Petersburg to Baron von
Schlemits. the Prussian minister of
foreign affairs written May 12, 1859,
which did not, however, see the light of
print until 1868: ,-I perceive tn our re
lations with the Bund a fault of Prus
sia's which we must heal sooner or
later 'ferro et lgne.'
Tbe more famous phrase before the
Prussian house of delegates wus deliv
ered September SO, 1861 . The phrase
was an old one. however, in Germany
even then. Heine had anticipated It as
it. stood in the first . draught when in
some manuscript memorandum printed'
after his death, he said Napoleon held
the sick nation through Sword and fire.'
. .Schenkendorf, in "Das Elaeme Kreus"
had anticipated a similar form , of ex
pression when he said that -only "iron
and blood" could save his countrymen.
Even centuries before. Qulntillan, in his
"Declamations' had , defined "soldier"
as meaning "blood and Iron." But the
phrase caught the fancy of the world as
descriptive of Bismarck himself and Is
the undoubted origin of his famous so
briquet "The Iron Chancellor." In no
Instance has a nickname been more ap
propriately applied.
"How Is if King William once asked
Bismarck, and his cousin, "that the Bis.
marcks of Schonhausen are all such tall,
strapping fellows, and those of Brest
Just the contrary?"
"Because my ancestors," replied Bis
marck, "all served the king as soldiers
in battle, while my- cousins were en
gaged in civil affairs."
The following story is named an ex
cellent one as shewing the character of
the man of "blood and iron." About
the time when war .with Austria only
seemed a question of a few weeks, Bis
marck went to dine, with the Saxon en
voy (Count Hohenthal), whose sympa
thies, jof course, were all with Austria.
"Pray tell me,' your excellency," said
his hostess to him with charming frank
ness. "Is it really true that you mean
to go to war wlffr Austria, n make a
conquest of Saxony T"
..-"Certainly ,.iny.(learesL50ttnteglre:
plied Bismarck, with equal candor, "it
is perfectly true. From the very first
day I took office I " never thought of
anything else. Our uns are now all
ready, and you shall soon see that they
are superior to the Austrian artillery."
"Oh. how frightful!" exclaimed the
countess. "But .now that you are in
such a candid mood, will you also give
me a friendly piece of advice? We have
two estates, and I want to know which
of them I shall fly to the one In Bo
hemia or the other near Leipzig?"
"If you will take my advice," replied
Bismarck, "do not go to Bohemia, for it
is there, and precisely in the neighbor
hood of your estate, that we shall fight
the Austrians, so that you might have
all sorts of terrible adventures. Tou
had better, therefore, go quietly to Leip
zig and you will not even be bothered
with the billeting of troops, as your
chateau doesn't lie on 'our military
road."
Bismarck was 82 years of age when
he entered German politics. He at once
began to impress the people " with his
great tact and forethought, and each

Berlin, Jan. 20. Germany is begin
ning to worry about the condition of
her navy. She has taken a good deal
of quiet satisfaction in the troubles
France and England have been .having
with their warships, but now reports
are current that she has little to bras;
about In comparison with other sea
powers and her fleet is much stronger
on paper than it Is in fact
"Prestige" is a valued factor In the
Fatherland, and, with the navy as with
the army, no effort is spared to create
the impression that a very high state
o efficiency exists.
For a long time the German navy
has lived on a legend of remarkable
gunnery efficiency. ,,The facts, how
ever, are that the best shooting shin
in the high sea fleet only made 35 per
cent of hits at 7000 yards, -while the
average for the whole fleet wan uhnnt
15 per cent. This 18 decidedly inferior
to me snooting or tne English or Amer
ican fleets. :
More serious still is the state of the
personnel. Owing to an order forbid
ding engineers to attempt to recognize
or associate with deck officers on shore,
many of the best engineer officers have
left the naval service in dlsg-ust. while
of the remainder few put much heart
into tneip work, "comradeship" belna-
almost nonexistent . Its place is taken
by petty jealousies and snobbery. Tho
men are passing through a stage of
Socialistic influence similar to that
which a few years ago rendered the
French navy so noneffective. There Is
a growing absence of cheerful obedience
or "military feeling" afloat a lack of
a spirit of emulation.
These things are not generally known
but I understand the admiralty has tak
en cognizance of them and is doing all
in Its power; to remedy the defects.
STABBED BY A TWIG,

Marquette, Mloh., Jan. 20. One of the
most remarkable cases that : ever has
come to the attention of the surgeons
at St Mary's Hospital is that of Leo

Riding on skees, Graber was coast,
