Thetown had been founded about one hundred yearsbefore by Albert the Bear, and men had come infrom the country around to enjoy the privileges andsecurity of city life. Doubtless Herbort or his fatherhad come from Bismarck, a village about twentymiles to the west, which takes its name either fromthe little stream, the Biese, which runs near it, or fromthe bishop in whose domain it lay. He was prob-ably the first to bear the name, which would have nome

So it came about that theletter by which the offer to the King was madehad really emanated from his own Chancellor. Itshews to what good purpose Bismarck used the con-fidence which, by his conduct in the previous nego-tiations, the King of Bavaria had been led to placein him. On the 18th of January, 1871, in the Palace of Ver-sailles, the King publicly assumed the new title;

Then came a pro-posal for change in the local government whichwould diminish the influence of the landed proprie-tors. The Conservatives refused to support thesemeasures ; the Conservative majority in the Houseof Lords threw them out. Bismarcks own brother,all his old friends and comrades, were now rangedagainst him. He accepted opposition from them aslittle as from anyone else; the consent of the Kingwas obtained to the creation of new peers, and bythis means the obnoxious measures were forcedthrough the unw

Hopesnever to be fulfilled ! Absent from his fathers death-bed, he returned to Berlin a crippled and dying man,and when a few weeks later his body was lowered intothe grave, there were buried with him the hopes andaspirations of a whole generation. His early death was indeed a great misfortune forhis country. Not that he would have fulfilled allthe hopes of the party that would have made himtheir leader. It is never wise to depend on

It was, he said, a melancholy result of the cen-turies of disunion.

Then he continued : Everywhere wherecorruption is found there a form of life begins which noone can touch with clean kid gloves. In view of thesefacts you speak to me of espionage.
