Prussian King Loathes Bismarck Sight
An 1859 remark by Prince Regent William I names Otto von Bismarck as a diplomat detested by the king for his restless push. An Raleigh asylum anecdote humorously links lawmakers to lunacy. The New York Independent laments Radical party disarray, accusing it of lacking moral purpose.

The New Minister to England Motley For England
A collection of opinions on J L Motley chosen by Gen Grant as minister to England. The piece criticizes Motley as a Boston doctrinaire with limited diplomacy and warns against his selection for delicate Anglo American affairs amid looming tensions. It cites his Dutch Republic history as praise, and his London Times letter as proof of illiberal tendencies. A judge’s quip on sermon length and a Colorado miner’s hopeful letter close the excerpt.
