POPULAR BISMARCK:

The farewell audience between the Emperor and Prince Bismarck was held on tbe 26th. The interview lasted three-quarters of an hour. Tho retiring Chancellor was heartily cheered on his wav to the palace bv crowds which had gathered along the route. As the Prince was driving past the bridge between the Lustgarten and Uuter den Lindeu, his horses shied and one of them became entangled in the traces. It was necessary to stop the carriage until the harness was rearranged. A crowd quickly gathered about the ex Chancellor, and ladies threw him bouquets and kissed their hands to him. Prince Bismarok was

bo greatly affected that he shed tears. He shook hands with a number of those about his carriage, and his voice faltered as be thanked the people for their demonstrations of affection. The accident was of a trifling nature and as soon as the harness was arranged the Prince resumed his drive amid cheers. His passing through the streets was a veritable triumphal procession. The people wanted to unharness .the horses and drag the carriage themselves. Those nearest the carriage thrust in their bands to the hands of Bismarok, and it was with the utmost dHßcutty that i passage could be made through tho crowd. It was the pressure of the throng upon the carriage that caused the accident which delayed the Prinoe’s progress. A now idea in cofTee-spoonß is to have each one of the set Bhaped like a different flower, with a long stem for the handle. * I,' ' o* I t *
