HERBERT BISMARCK? "”‘
Son of the Great mnmcdlor my Be
Appointed Ambassador to the
United states.
Prince Herbert Bismarck, who, it is
said, may soon become the German am-
’bassador to Washington, would be a
lmost potent influence in cementing the
lfriendship between the great republic
£3111 the great en: pire. His reception in
ashington would be more than cor-
dial, and his presence in this country
:Would make the American people most-
keenly alive to the great debt of patri~ .
otism they owe the grand old Father-
land. Prince Herbert, the son of one
HERBERT BISMARCK.
(May Soon Become German Ambassador
at Washington.)
of Europe’s most. eminent statesmen,
is himself a politician of rare ability.
The elder Bismarck won the admira-
tion of the world by his fearles-sness
and originality. The younger inherits
his capabilities. The great chancellor
on many occasions expressed his high
regard for the United: States, and his
sonis notinsensible to the merits of the
great nation of which his countrymen
form so noble and patriotic an integer.
Prince Herbert was born in Berlin in
1849. As a diplomat he ranks with the.
shrewdest and -best in Europe. He
served as secretary to the London em-
bassy, and on his father’s retirement
he. was provisionally charged with the
direction of the foreign affairs of the-
empire. In 1886 he was secretary of
state and assessor to the chancellor. In
January, 1889 the-emperor conferred on
the count, as he was at that time, the
first class of the Order of the Red Eagle.
Mature, sober, highly cultured,.a patri-
otic German, and bearing the name of
that beloved grand old man of Ger-
many, e would be recognized as the
most distinguished of the diplomats' 1n
the American capital.

E RESIDES in the little town of
Genoa, Douglas county, Nev., and
he came across the Sierrarange in 1859.
He is somewhat over 70, gaunt- and
rugged in frame, with handsindicating
a man who had seen hard work. The
most. noticeable feature about Haines
.is his deep, heavy jaw, the like of which
I never saw on a mortal man. Haines is
now a man wort-h, say, half a million,
through owning a vast tract of red-
wood timber in Eureka. county, Nev.
In his old age he likes to tell of the-hard
times he used to undergo, and themem-
cries of those bitter days are all con-

to save our necks, and finally I started
in to feed them hay.
“The top story ate the .hay, but the
two under stories couldn’t getanip.
"‘As soon as the horses smelt grub
they made a. big effort to get. on top of
the sheep, and the sheep were wedged
in so tight. that the horses walked all
Over them. The wool was thick and
.soft, and it beat. all the body Brussels
carpet you ever saw. After about ten
days we had to pull the. building down
to get the sheep out, and the two under
5 layers had eat all the wool off each oth-
;_er. Yet the critters seemed to have
got along all right during that time,
and I noticed that when they lay down
at night; they would all lie down togeth-
er and all rise in the morning to their
'2 feet. This puzzled the horses on top
when the mass would rise and lbwer
five. or six feet, at which time thehorses
would gallop\around almost frightened
to death. 1
“Well, we got the sheep out and kept
tunneling along until We got along by
old Batchelor’s where. the snow wasn’t
so deep, and they made cuts instead of
tunnewls
“We struck a splendid cut' 1n the- hard
snow. It was six feet deep, and just
wide enough for a pack mule.
“They told us it was made. by a man-
who had a pack mule lroute over the
mountains to Virginia City, and that if
we met him he’d make us turn back. I
laughed at the idea, for. we. were all
. well heeled and no man could turn us
unless he was a. quicker shot.
“Well, we piled our sheep and horses
into this cut, and things glided along
all right until the second day, when
the'line came toahalt.
“By Jove, we’d met the pack-mule
man. ,I_.climbed out on the hard snow
and gotround to the head of the column
with a big Winchester rifle, and found
him sitting on a pack mule as serene and
smiling as anything. All he had in his
hand was a small cane, and he. looked
like he. owned the earth. Behind him
was a string of pack mules {is far as I
could see.
“We passed the time’ er day, and then
he began to talk about the ‘right—er—
way’ and the ‘competitive points in
travel.’ I had never heard of those
things before. and wasn’t disposed to
place much stock in ’em, when he bal-
anced the came on the finger and thumb
of his left hand and began to play his
right along over the knots and talk, I
laid down my rifle and began to listen.
His language was convincin’, I tell ye.
He showed how that I was only just in
the trail, and could turn bac’k with a
great deal less expense and in conven-
ience, and that. as he was carrying the
United States mail, obstruct-ingit might
result in my being taken into court for
it, and perhaps landed in the Sacraa
mento jail for life.
“When he got through I said I‘d turn
back, and so I told. my men. They were
hot, and went. to the front vowing to
kill him.
centrated in the sad expression of his
blue eyes.
Coming from the Winnemucca con-
vention I found Haines sitting in the
stateroom of the'sleeper. I touched him
on his trip over the mountains in 1859,
and he responded.
“I left Placerville,” said he, “with 500
head‘of sheep, five horses, some steers
and two hired men. It. was in lovely
weather. We had a. covered wagon,
plenty of provisions, and were all in a
happy mood. Everything went along
nicely until we got near McClauber’s,
when just. after sunset one nightalittle
black cloud about the size of my hat
came over us. It- got bigger and bigger.
until gheblackest pail you ever saw cov-
ered the heavens, and the snow came
down in sheets.
“When I say sheets I mean‘shé‘ets. I
calkerlate the snow was packed up in
the sky and the weather. clerk just
sliced it ofl from the under side. You
saw the ‘layer of snow come down, and
when it fell around you and your head

“These are facts which any old set-
tler will verify. Well, in the morning
our sheep were out of sight under the
snow. Well, itwas tough ébutwe began
to shovel’ em out. Abaout a mile from
our camp was a stable where the over-
land stage homes were kept.
“We ran a tunnel from the sheep to
the stable, and drove the sheep
through.
“We had to make tunnels through
that tunnel to light the way, and it was
as pretty a piece of engineering as I
ever saw. We ran it by guess, and hit
the stable door square in the middle the
first time.
“Well, when the sheep began to crowd
.. into the stable the horses got uneasy,
but the sheep'kept wedgingin till there

to their entire satisfaction.
“Well, to make a long story short,
the cut was so narrow that the animals
couldn’t turn, so we had to lean over
the cut and reach doWn and lift’ em one
at a time and twist’ em round towards
the west.
“It took us all day, and when we. got

and fell asleep, while the pack mule

Study of Political Bconomy.
Thirty years ago the professors in the
Berlin university devoted 13 hours a
week to the study of political economy.
This amount of time' 15 now more than
doubled. The range of this subject has
been extended and includes such ques»
tions as labor rights, currency piiob-
