From eight till nine o'clock in tho evening tho Princo remain with his family nnd then works alone, often until ono o'clock nt night. During thoso nightly Htudies his inseparable companions nro a long smoking pipe nnd a bumper filled with beer, of which ho drinks copiously. Kegs of tho brown liquid nro frequently prosontod lo him by somo of tho famed breweries of Germany. J lis modo of living is almost always tho, same, oven in Berlin or during his DISMAKCK AT HOME. Social and Domestic Llfo or Bismarck. Many books and nrliclo.1 liavo been written on tho political career of Ger many's fammm "Itoichskiuulcr," but ho far no ono has undertaken to give a de tailed account of hid pnvato lifo. Prince HlHiimrck ranks among thoso great men who differ widely in their family life from that exterior or olllcial life upon which thu geuoral publia bason iU ontlmitto of ohnractor. Ho whom wo only know as an imporious statesman mid diplomatist, as tho "man of blood and iron," this very mimo man is at homo a good householder ot tho old I'omoraniau stylo, which is basod upon thu principles of fidelity to "God, King and Fatherland," of true and tender caro for family and servants, of liolp to uoighlKirs, of bolief in Bimplo but Hubstantial meals, and recreation by means ot plenty of oxerciso in tho open air. Knpecially when at ono of his throw country seats Friedrinhsruh, Varolii or Sohoenhuuson ho really livos liko a nobleman of tho olden time. Kvory detail pertaining to bin estates he oversees himself, puyine; particular at teutiou even to the ooirifort of his farm hands. In all thu villages surrounding 'nr,in and l-'riedriulmrtih, whero ho prefers to dwell, ho is likod by poor and rich, and whuiiever he passes tho chil dren will gn'ot him with "(Jtiten tag, llorr llioiiiaiek." II is mode of living, ns is well known, J peculiar. Ho does not rico earlier than uiuo o'clock, and then, after taking a cup of collco, he looks over his mail. Should tho weather bo favorable ho takes a walk with his family about eleven o'clock if in Herlin, through his and hi neighbors' maguillceut garden, which adjoin tho pubho park (Tlucrgaitcu), and if at one of IiIh country reals, to his beloved foicsts or to the near llclds. On the.o promenades ho wears a large, broad brimmed felt hat and cauics a heavy cane. After lunch he devotes se end hours lo tho tillairx of State. Then, while giving frequent instructions to his m relury, he lither walks up and down tho mom or hit- at his writing desk playing with hie. quill pen, from the iinmeino sue of which the name "ItiMiinrck poo" is do uvod. Kxaetly nt the o'clock ho hits down to dinner, which generally lasts two ami often thieo hours. After the KnglLsh tyle. every dinner contains llsh, which dish the I'lince likes very much and of. illicit he cats luwttlly. Hois one of thote who lirmly beliee in the old theory that tho phosphoric substance contained in tUh contributes to the restoration of tho brain mass, lie generally has a ery good appetite, Kvery day- eomo diplomatic or military men or friends dine with hiiu, even if ho should stay at his country teat, Ynrzin, near Schl.iwe, which is situated far off in Lower I'onu'ntniu, at somo consider ablu distance from all largo cities. When lining tho Trinco is almost always in usual summer sojourn at Kifsiugcn. Several timed during late years, whilu nnder enrfj -of - Dr. Hchwonnlngor, of Munich, ho had to make temporary ex coptions. Dr. Schwcnningcr, n young, ambitious physician, 1i3 found in tho old Chancellor n willing and hopeful pationt for bis nowly discovered system, Tho treatment which Dr. Schwonningor energetically pursues with his pntionts is an ontiroly chnnged diot, substituting dno consisting of nothing but milk and bread. This causes emaciation, nnd it is said that its clTeotH hnvo roliovcd the Princo eovcrnl timos from ecvoro nou rnlgio pains and other kinds of sickness, As ho onco iu n while enforces this treatment upon hlmsolf, ho has, as n consequence, lost consldorably in weight. It has been his custom to hnvo himself weighed at Kissingon whonovor in snmmor ho spends a few weeks at theso springs. In 1871 ho woighed 207 pounds; 1870, 210; 1877, 2U0; 1878, 81.1; 1870,2-17; 18S0, 237; 1882, 21)2; 18811, 202, nnd hut year 201 pounds, Tho lowest point ho ovor reached in weight was 105 pounds. This was three yoars ago, when Dr. Schwcnnlngor for tho first time treated him according to tho new system. Regarding tho health of tho Princo from timo to time tho most contradictory rumors aro circulated. Somo cay tho onco gigantic figure of tho mnn has fallon away, nnd trncos of his mnny maladies, especially of sovoro attacks of neuralgia and jnumlico, nro marked deeply in his countenance, whilo other a'porbt assure tho public that tho "Iron Ohancoller" looks a little worn, but nevertheless honlthy. In n letter from Hamburg, rccoived iccently by a Urook lyn gentleman, this report i somewhat confirmed. Tho writer of tho letter, who has lately hcoii tho Princo at his country sent, Priedrichsruh, givos the following report : ''Princo UUmnrck's faco is thinner than some four yoars ngo, wlmn I saw him last. That tho Prince wears spectacles was entirely new to me, but I am told that ho uses them as little as possible Ho is now in his sovonty-llrct yenr, nnd it is only natural that his eyes should hnvo become weak and lost their lustre. Hut, although ho walkvdowly and heavily, ho carries his head erect. Any ono seeing him must confer that ho, like many men of his age, htill PO3S0S.-CH great physical powor." Although his general appearancu is well known through pictures of every kind, wo Boloct a fow characteristic points for description. His features wero never cither handsome or ugly, but being very remnrknble nro not easily forgotten if onco been. In his younger days, his biographers say, his face fcwas strikingly clear and full of cheerfulness, even to gayety. Hut for many years it has lieen earnest, almost solemn, with an expression of most indomitable energy and hardiness. Ho neath the lwld forehead his large, pro jecting blue eyes do not look about with the vivacity of a young man, but turn quietly from one object to another. His eyes are -o penetrating that many ex perience a disagreeable feeling upon meeting them. His broad forehead and his remarkably long and buhy eyebrows heighten his t-trongly marked features, which often appear harsh. His largo and heavy tlguro does not appear clunky, as every part is well propor tioned the large, round head, the big neck, the broad shoulders and the stout limbs. For the safety of his jeron the Prince is,idyays surrounded by n num ber of detectives, nnd besides ho keeps n dog, tho famous "Hoiehshund," called Tyras. It is a largo, well fed Danish hound of blackish color, On his way to Herlin or Kisoingen ha is generally accompanied by eight detectives, under the command of a superior officer, and whenever ho remains anywhere for any length of time moro detectives aro added tq them. This may scorn a disa greoablo fact, but constant caution is absolutely necessary, as experienco has aught that tboro nrc defpernto charac ters who aro only waiting for nn oppor tunity to "do away" with him. Princo Dismarck's immense success as n statesman has not only bestowed upon him high rank and dignities, but it has also mndo him ono of tho greatest land ownors in Germany. When ho commenced his career as tho son of a simplo country nobleman ho was con stantly in pecuninry embarrassment. Tho country scut SchoouhnuBcu, which ho inherited from his father, had been for n long timo encumbered with debts, and tho young diplomat, who was al most always in need of money, was compelled to seek for aid. At that timo ho found a helping hand in the Jlcrlin financier Dleichroedor, who, through Princo Bismarck's influonco, is now a nobleman nnd writes his nnmo "Von Bloichroedor." It is said that Herr Dleiohrocdcr, Bomo forty years ago, foresaw a groat tuturo in tho Bimplo "Junker" ptto v. Bismarck Schoon hausen. They hnvo been on tho most iutimato torms over since, nnd there was a timo when tho financier supplied tho Ghancollor with tho finest brands of cigars and tho Princoss, during many a winter eooson, with tho most oxquisito bouquota of natural llowers, Tho Prin cess often romarkod that her husband owod much to llorr v Meichroodor, and it is supposed that in oxchnngo for tho sorvicoa rondorcd him tho mighty Chnu cellor was not tardy with euoh informa tion as tho banker could use to his financial advantaco. This intimato connection botweon tho Chancellor and tho rival of tho firm of ltothsohild ofton gavo occasion to tho political ene mies of tho Uhancollor to lay suspicion upon him; but tho accusations wero of no avail, as ovidonco never could bo pro duced to subuuutiuto them, Princo Dismarck's affection for his wifo and children is great, and is ropnid by thoir caro and love. Thoy consider ovorybody a personal onomy who causes him trouulo or vexation. When ho is sick, as was so very often tho case during recent years, thoy nnrso him with untiring patience, and in his hours of ulcasuro they heartily join with him. Should any visitor succeed in entertain ing him to such a degree 'as to draw from him a laugh tho family will show their gratitudo by profuso thanks. During his whole lifo tho Princo has shown tho most hnprcssivo ovidonco of lovo and gallant tenderness toward his wife, thu Princoss. Timo could not chango this feeling. Everybody inti mately acquainted with tho Dlsmarck family praisos tho kind nnd honorable relations which exist between tho Princo and tho Princess. This is also amply provod by many published letters which tho Princo has writton her whenover he was away irom noino in omco or on a mission, and further by tho noticeable fact that not ovon ono of his numerous deadly enemies has ever attempted to darken his charnctor as a husuanu anil n father. Tho Princess, n sistor of tho Prussian Minister von Puttkamer, is said to have been a beauty in hor youngordays. She is now in her sixty-second year, but looks much older than sho roally is. Sho is of slender figure and of hardy but noble features. Hor manners aro vory amiable. Karely does a lady of high rank dress as plainly ns tho Prin cess Dismurck. Sho also is regardod ns a model of a German housokecpor. In socioty sho is reserved and modest. She is a good Christian but not a bicrot, and on Sundays sho generally attends tho church services. Tho Princo often re marks : ".She is tho ono who made mo what I am." Of his three childron Princo Bismarck pets his daughter most, and ho generally cnlls her "Meino Mario." Sho resem bles him ery much, only that her features exhibit kindness and mildness. Whoovor has been her must confess that her whole appcuruueo is charming. She is married to Count llautzow, who Is a kind of assistant to the Prince. Tho Countess is an excellent pianist, and her father loves to listen to her for hours, especially when peaforming earnest or sentimontnl airs. Sho has made the Princo several times a "grand father.'"
