The gutters is the great place for lost things; they get dropped there by women who are alius in a flurry crossing roads, or they get knocked in by feet or dresses.

The only [ I wonder is that, as he made the great discovery as many as thirteen years ago, it should II only now have been given to the world in i the pages of the Deutsche Revue. It appears i that it was on the evening of Gravelotte, afi ter a day when the Prince, like everybody else, had had nothing to eat, and was huni gry?hungrier, we may presume, than any, j body, lie had, however, the good fortune j to secure five eggs for 2()f., and the generosi| ty to share them with two of his companI ions. But fore-seeing the mathematical dif'1 ficulty which would arise if he were to atf tempt an equal division, he took the precaution to eat two of the five himself, and then dashed off to his comrades, and with a t great show of magnanimity made a fair dis. tribution of the remaining three, keeping ! to himself all knowledge of the two that he had so conveniently got rid of.. A rapacious [ statesman would have kept all the eggs, and ; a Quixotic statesman would have kept only [ one of them. But it is Prince Bismarck's . peculiar distinction to combine sedulous attention to the interests of number one with f an effective display of unselfishness. He has divided countries ere now on the princi' pie on which he dealt with the five eggs.? Pal!
