charge put upon him. With a reputation
for straightforward honesty and a certain
hearty blufl'ncss of manner, blessed with
common sense, if not brilliant genius, a le-
nacity of purpose, and the military instincts
of his race, he finds his filling place as ru-
ler of the great German nation, which, not-
withstanding ilre proverbial mystificatiou
we are accustomed to attribute to the Ger-

deer of deeds, not the thinker of thoughts,
the movement of German nationality could
have had no better loader.
King William, who was brother to the
late king,.was the son of Fredrick William
III, and was born March 22, 1797. He en-
tered the army, and toolgpart in the cam-
paigns of 1813 and 1815, which closed the
period of war, and until the year of revolu-
tions he had no opportunity of distinguish-
ing himself in active service; 1848 found
him acting as governor of Pomerania, and
in consequence of the revolution he was
obliged to take refuge in England, although
not for long, for being elected to the con-
stituent assembly in May of'tlrat year, he
returned to Berlin and took his seat in the
chamber, June 8, 1848. ,The story of the
Prussian revolution is an oft told tale, and
need not berepeatcd here—the house of Ho-
henzollern was overthrown, and Prince
William was in 1849 nominated commander-
in-chief of the Prussian army acting against
the revolutionary forces in Baden.
In 1858 the prince was appointed regent
in consequence of his brolher’s mind giving
way, and in 1881 he succeeded to the throne,
under the title of William I. It was on the
occasion of his coronation that he asserted
so strongly the doctrine of the divine right
of‘kings, his adherence to which, it is said,
stood seriously in the way of his nlinisters’
schemes as regarded Hanover. As a prince
the subject of our memoir had been known
for his liberal plinciplcs, but as a kinghc ap-
parently favored a policy of another tend-

ization was the subject, arose between the

many has for the first time caught a glimpse
of the much-desired unification, seems 'ad-
PRINCE FREDEBIC CHARLES.
The very opposite of the Crown Prince,
not in Light, both being middle size, but in
his appearance of energy, promptitude and
sell-sufficient baughliness, is Prince Frede-
ric Charles. He is broad an ‘ rather stout,
but shows to advantage in the red hussar
uniform of his regiment, which he wears in
preference to that of a general of the army.
Seeing him at the side of his wife, a. beau-
tiful little creature, a Dessau princess, one
can scarcely suppress the remark, What a
handsome couple! He has not quite es-
caped scandal, but he has the reputation of
having sown his wild oats.
During the first Schlcswig-Holstein war
the prince served as captain of the Guards,
and showed himself so adventurous, endan-
gering by his impetuosity and disobedience
his command, that the Gcneral-in-Chief, De
Wrangcl, ordered him to be rear—guard,nat-
urally only for a few days. Being a royal
prince hc'was advanced to the command of
a regiment, and decided by a flank attack
llle defeat of the Danes at Schleswig. He
then took part in the campaign against the
revolutionary party in the south of Ger-
many, and was wounded at Wiesenthal.
Having been made a general in 1861, he
commanded the Prussians in the campaign
against the Danes, and proved by his strat-
egies] operations and before the entrench-
ments of Duppel that, with advancing years,
he had learned to control the rashnéss of
his temper by prudence and arlfnl combi-
nation, and not only to make a brave. al-
tack, but also patiently to prepare its suc~
cess. During the last war, in conunzlnl of
three army corps forming the first army, in.-
marched on the 22d of June: into Saxony,
pushed on into Bohemia, won on the 28th,
the day at lilunchcngratz, took part on the
3d of July ' at Kwniggratz, after the first
skirmish occupied Saar Bruenn on the 12111,
took on the 161h Sunderburg as commander
of the advance, went on the 17th into Hun-
gary, and was at Rresburg only prevented -
by the conclusion of the armistice from
taking prisoners a whole army corps.
THE FRENCH GENERALS.
GENERAL mocrm.
This celebrated French general, who is
now, in effect, the dictator of Paris, and is
likely to become the central figure in the
fast-commg events in France, was born in
the department of lllorbillan, March 12, 1815.
He received his military education at Saint-
Cyr; was made a lieutenant in 1830, and a
throne, as represented 'by M. von Bismarck,
and the Chamber of Deputies; for the time
constitutional government was utterly dis-
regarded by the high-handed minister;
there was much bitterness of feeling, hostile
vote followed hostile vote, but King William
was faithful to his minister, and that minis-
fer kept his own counsel. Then came the
episode of the Danish war, and the ripening
of the quarrel between Prussia and Austria.
While negotiations were carried on with the
lesser German States, a treaty of alliance
was secretly concluded with Italy, and then,

OTTO VON BISMARCK.
.Count Otto Von Bismarck, the Prussian
Premier, although over fifty-five years of
age, has only recently occupieda prominent
place in the history of Europe. Born of an
aristocratic but undisliuguished family, his
early life was spent after the manner of Ger-
man youth, and during this period the future
diplomat is said to have been inclined to be
wild. He seems, however, to have born
ith a sturdy devotion to the royal prerog-
atives, which grew with his growth and
strengthened with his strength, until it be-
came the ruling influence of his life. With
11 his allegiance for royalty, he has through-
out been a friend of nationalism, and while
is career has shown him a bold, cool, and
astute diplomatist, his first aspiration was
always for the unity and greatness of the

His service in the Prussian Assembly al-
tracted the attention of King William the
monarchy, and soon won for Bismarck the
position of conservative leader in the sec-
ond chamber. The services rcndtred by
Bismarckfin his position as leader, were ap‘
proved by the King, who, in 1851, appointed
the future premier ambassador to the Diet
in Frankfort-on—the—Main. From Frankfort
he was transferred to St. Petersburg, and,
in 1862, he was made Prussian ambassador
to Paris. His stay at the French court was
of but a few months’ duration, when he was
summoned by telegraph to Berlin, and made
minister-president.
Immediately after assuming the ministry
in December, 1862, Bismarck entered upon
Prussia her proper position in Germany,
prosecuted them unremiliiugly through a
series of years, until, in 1866, the victory of
Sadowa assured the success of Bismarck’s
policy. A united Germany, with Prussia at
his head, was the goal be aimed at and

and on the 24m of November, 1854, was

to the end of the campaign. In May, 1859,
he was made general of division, and served
with distinction in the Italian campaign. In
1866, he was placed on a commission for re-
organizing the Freuch army. Gen. Trochu
was made a commander of the Legion of
Honor in 1855, and a grand officer in 1861,
having, althe latter date, been twenty-five
years in actual military service, and served
in no less than eighteen campaigns. In 1867
he published anonymously, a work on the
army of France, which ran through ten edi-
tions in the course of the year. All this
goes to show that Troebn is a man of cul-

He en-
tered the military schOol of St. Cyr in 1825,
won his first laurels in Algeria, where
he fnlght in numerous battles and minor
eugngmncnts, and became conspicuous by
his bravery and daring during the assault
on Constantine. His superiority as a tacti-
clan soon became apparent and was fully
apprecia led and rewarded by rapid advance-
ment. His long career as a military com-
munder in the colony, and his never-ceasing
activity in behalf of the firm establishment
of French authority in northern Africa
were interrupted, for some time at 1east,by
his recall to France in 1856. It was not,
however, the intention of the government
to let Irim remain inactive; he was, on the
contrary, immediately assigned to the com—
mood of a division of infantry forming part
of the army under Marshal Bosquet. Here
he laid the foundation of his military glory
by the ever memorable sieges and success—
ful assault on the Malakofl' fortifications at?
Sebastopol, which had generally been con—
sidered impregnablc. In 1857 he returned
to Algeria, forced the revolting Kabyles in—
to submission, and was soon after appointed»
commander-in-ehief of all the French forces
there on land and sea. The outbreak of the
Italian war, in 1859, caused his return to
France, when he was assigned to the com—
mand of the second corps of the army of the
