A CRAZE FOR RELICS.
Bismarckian relic-huntera have had a fine harvest in Franzenbad, where the rooms which the great statesman occupied in the Hotel Huebner have been fairly atormed and ransacked.

Everything that the prince could possibly have touched was considered a good prize— paper clippings, quills, candle and cigar ends, toothpicks, pencils, and the primitive porcelain, inkstand itself. Some of the most intrepid invaders are said to bare penetrated into his bed-room, and to have triumphantly carried off the soap, eoapdiahes, and glasses of the washstand.
