M. von Bismarck has been made a Count for his

supposed services to the King of Prussia. The King has also paid a visit of congratulation to the Minister. Even as to the King, the services are more than doubtful. Von Bismarck might by a different policy have made his master an Emperor, and all Germany might have congratulated both parties on the achievement. As it is, the King congratulates Count Bismarck, but nobody congratulates the King.
