F THE DIVINING ROD. Something for the Scientistw—The Sin- gular Power of the Sixth Sense. From the Cleveland Lex said Mr. Charles Lati- ic gentlemen and others ethe sixth sense. Tread your artic lished to-day, and desire toadd another instance Georgetown, D. C. eng: She awoke suddenly, and, turning to a relative, sald: ‘Mrs. Abbott has been thrown from her carriage at Biadensiurg and has had both her | arms broken.’ Mrs. Abbott is a very intimate | j friend of my aunt, but is not a relative. Two hours later a messenger announced to my aunt's household that Mrs. Abbott had been thrown from her carriage at Bladensburg and that both ofher arms had been broken. Now sir, I be- leve—yex, 1 know—that Lean go to Brooklyn Village, examine the blood of the burglar who attempted to rob Mayor Jones and whom the | mayor wou and, by the aid of the sixth | liseover the thief. Ihave a book, pub- | nls related the discovery of a murderer, who, during his erie, was wounded and whose | blood stained te ground where the struggle cceurred. A detective, who had discovered what I term the sixth sense, examined the blood and by means of the electrical current traced the murderer to a prison. He entered the jail, looked over those confined therein, and, his hand upon the shoulder of a burly ei , said: ‘This istheman.’ The detective took the prisoner back to the scene of the crime and the felon confessed. “The divining rod {s only another exemplifica- tion of the existence of a power not yet recog: nized. With a piece of witch hazel I discovered the coal mines which bear that name. I told the number of feet a shaft would have to be sunk in order to reach the coal and even gave the thickness of the vein, Yet people say there is nothing in it and that the divining rod is a superstition. If I have an idea that tee me in money, then the public pronounce it a good. one. Money is the foundation upon which wople base their declarations. Seating the Witch 1 mines and am paid be- sides twelve and a half cents for every ton of coal taken out of them. Superintendent White- Jaw, of the water works, did not credit my ab:lity to locate water pipe. He came to my residence one evening and I went with him through several streets and with the aid of the divining rod told him exactly where the pipes were located. I offered to make a map of all . giving their connections Finally he asked me to go with him to the public square. I traced several pipes for him there, when he asked me to find the big one. I not only found it, but told him how far it was below the surface of the earth. I have a letter in my possession from Mr. Whitelaw verifying m experiments. I once went to the anoted scientist in Philadelphia, where I made another test of the power of the divining rod. I walked across his library floor aad traced a pipe. He said I was mistaken, as there were no pipes of any description beneath the floor. T insisted that there was one at least, and told him Ishould be compelled to leave his | house with the firm conviction that he was | wrong and I right. Finally he made an exami- nation in the cellar beneath and discovered a tin pipe fifteen mches beneath the floor, the ex- istence of which he had forgotten. The divin- ing rod shows the superiority of mind over | matter. Istand over a vein of fron ore, and the rod turns. My sixth sense realizes the presence of a mineral,and the realization moves | the switch. Here is a feeling that must sooner | or later be recognized. Menory fraud and su- perstition, but I know what I know. I know that the switch turns when I walk above a metal. that is indisputable, and to me satis- factory. The same sense comes into play when people dream of certain things which are hap- | pening to friends, or are about to. I prove the | cerrectness of my theories to men. They say | yes, and look mystified! If I catch them in| Public they throw their heads back and decline to believe. simply because they are fearful of | their friends’ ridicule. But the time is coming | when all must beli Sika, ALaska, July 19.—Althouz Fealized the distance we had traveled to the | ws lenth of the days, we were astonished enough when we reached | Sitka to find all of our time-pieces torty. minutes ahead of the local time. For the first | time we became aware of the fact that our course had yerged to westward, and we | puzzled not alittle over that great difference | in time between Astoria and Sitka. Although | Sitka and Alaska are almost synonymous with | north pole to average minds in the temperate zone, a comparison of maps shows that Sitka and St. Petersburg, Russia, are in the same | latitude, and the mouth of’ Chileat river, the most northerly point that we visited, is on a line with the south coast of Greenland. The extent of this north- west territory and the vast distances between points are more than bewildering. Alaska itself is equal in area to all ot the United States east of the Mississippi river. Counting the Aleutian chain, the Pribyloff group and the 1.100 isiands of the Alexander archipelago, the total area of the Alaska Islands is 31,205 square miles. The Island of Attu. the last of the Aleu- tian chain, is as far west of San Francisco as Bangor. Me., is east of it,and the indented coast line of Alaska, measurieg over 25,000 tiles, is even greater than the whole coast line of the Atlantic and Pacific shores of the United States put together. Southern Alaska, as it is called, comprises the narrow strip of territory that extends southward from Mount St. Elias to Dixon channel, the boundary line between Alaska and British Columbia. This thirty-mile strip ot land. with its outlying islands, 1s the best known of the territory, and, with the exception of Onalaska and the Seal islands,is the seat of the only white settlements of any conse- quence or promise. Dense forests clothe the Isl- ands and mainland of Southern Alaska and “‘dark- ena region half as large as Europe.” Although the rocky foundations are only covered with a thin, sandy soil, vegetation flourishes with a Tankness that cannot be surpassed in the tropics. The close forests of yellow cedar, Sitka and Douglass spruce, Jeffreys pine and balsam fir have never been devastated by fires, and for Unnumbered ayes only glaciers or avalanches have interfered with the steady processes of mature. The Russians cleared a little ground about their settlements, but later inhabitants have made no efforts In that way, since crops cannot be raised with success and there are not enough horses or cattle for any one to direct their attention to grasses that cannot be dried in the constant downpour. The stumps of trees will neverrot in the ground, and the fallen tranks | in the forest form a network like the corners of | eral fences, with each loz covered with thick | mosses and grasses, and bearing a dense growth of rank ferns, bushes andsmalltrees. Itis wholly | {inpossible to penetrate the forests without a| path first being hewn through the thickly ranged tree trunks, and in the wood paths about Sitka one frequently sees trees two and | three feet indiameter, growing over the pros- | trate forms of pines of even greater dimen- sions. If you step aside from the path to force your way through the underbrush to reach lusters of crimson and orange salmon-berries you may suadenly be engulfed, and sink two or ten feet into a pitfall ot mossy logs. Only the certainty that there are no snakes or creep- ing things in Alaska encourages one to venture aside from the narrow and graveled paths that beneficent Russian rulers caused to be madeabout Sitka. Although there are a few natural ciear- ings at the mouths of the streams, and grassy fields cleared by the toil of the old serfs, no at- tempt is made to raise or keep cattle, and the milk of the three cows of Sitka is sold at 80 cents a quart. Without beef or mutton the ple live on a routine of fish, venison and meat. and no quail-eater grows wearicr of his dally luxuries than these Alaska citizens do of their regular venison, salmon and halibut in steaks, roasts and curries. en the Indians know nothing of the interior yathera Alaska, and on account of the im- uetrable forests not one island has been whoily explored. All travel is done by boats and canoes, and the two sections of the territory are as far apart for a traveler as if on different con- tinents. From Sitka to San Francisco it is some 1,600 miles by direct line, and communication is kept up by the monthiy mail steamer Idaho. From Sitka across to Onalaska there is a voyage on the open sea of 800 miles, and the Seal Islands lie hundreds of miles further west of that point. Onalaska and the sealing stations have communication with San Francisco by the steamer belonging to the Alaska Commer- cial company, but nodirect communication with Sitka or the rest of the territory. The collector of customs at Sitka gets the report from his Onalaska deputy viagSan Francisco, unless a rare schooner or whaler comes that way, and sailing vessels, as @ rule, give the tortuous channels and unknown reefs of the archipelago @ wide berth at all times. Northern Alaska, or the territory proper.com- prises vast areas of unexplored land,where even ‘the adventurous Russian and Hudson Bay Com- Dany’s traders have never set foot.

Succeeding writers have drawn upon him en- tirely for their statements, and his book, although published more than twelve years azo, is still the standard work. Prof. Whyimper pub- lished a book of his travels in Alaska, and it being in aligther and more discursive vein, 1s more frequently read than Dail’s.

The SchieMin brothers, who first worked the mines | at Toombstone. Arizona, have lately become in- terested in the Yukon mines, and are now work- Ing them. They fitted out their own vessels at | San Francisco. and took up miners and mining | suppliesa year ago, and thisspring they sent up | another consignment of workmen, mining tools, mill machinery and supplies. From the fact | that no definite reports have yet been heard as |to the richness of the Schiefflins’ mines, the | outside world is divided between a certainty of | failure or a suspicion of fabulous and shrewaly i 1 got $5.000 for | concealed riches. Zhe Schieflins have with them steam launches tor exploring the Yukon river on prospecting tours, and it is probable that through them something more will be known oft that great river that empties into the sea |by five branches, forming a delta more than seventy miles across. The Yukon is al- ready lored for a length of 2.000 miles, 1,500 of which are navigable for small yesseis. | Besides the schiefflin colony, Lieut. Schwatka, | of Arctic fame. has started with a small party of men this summer to explore the head waters |of the Yukon. The hwatka party lett the | mail steamer at the head of Lynn channel in southern Alaska, going thence in canoes up the Chilcat river to its head, then by portage ot twenty-four miles through the forest to a chain of lakes that lead to one of the tributaries of the Yukon. Important resuits are looked for from the Schwatka explorations, and miners are particularly interested in this last venture of the Arctic hero. More than for geological surveys and explora- tlons do the people cry for some form of govern- ment and the establishment of some definite law and order; for in its present neglected con- dition Alaska is a territory in name only. The collector of customs at Sitka and his two depu- ties are the only civil officers vested with au- thority. and their jurisdiction only applies to Treasury regulations as to imports, duties and clearance papers. The people have petitioned fora governor, for some judicial officers, or to have a recugnized delegate in Congress, and nothing has ever come of it. Man-of-war gov- ernment may have dcne very well for the few years succeeding the Russian transfer, but within the past five years Alaska has’ been developing industries and slowy coming into @ prominence that demands some pr’ tection of law and semblance of order. If a trader is caught selling liquor to the Indians he must be indicted and tried by the courts at San Francisco. If convicted he may be fined $500, meanwhile the expense of bringing the accused and all the witnesses from Alaska to San Francisco costs the government three or four times as much as the fine may amount to. As the United States attorn@ once remarked, j ring aten cent Indian down to San isco and give him a 1,000 trial, all for doing the territory a favor by killing the worst white man init.” It is only in extreme cases, however, that prisoners and witnesses are treated toan excursion to San Francisco at government expense, since the commander of the man-of-war is vested with constabu- Jary and all kinds of power, and metes out justice by direct and common sense methods without the rigmarole of the law. The discovery of gold at Juneau, and the rapid ‘growth of that mining town, make the want of government all the more felt, and the trouble constantly arising between the miners, and tue miners and the In- dians, keep the man-cf-war at Sitka busy main- taining the peace by wholesome examples. Owners of mining property at Juneau cry for a surveyor and a land office more than for a police court, since without surveys or titles to their Jands they hesitate to put money into works or miils that the first oranized band of squatters may demolish or take from them. While this state of perfect lawlessness exists enterprise is checked and operations are slowly conducted, the great capitalists waiting until some protec- tion is assured to property and some torm of government is given to this rich and undevel- opedcountry.

To do this, as @ mere matter of preliminary practice, tie a small weight, say a little block of wood, an inch long, and as thick as your little finger, to the free end ot your line, which has been drawn out through the tip-ring some eight or nine feet. Now, standing firmly erect in an easy position, take therod in the righthand, grasping it by the handle just above the reel; with the thumb and forefinger of the left hand take light holdof the bit of wood at the line's end. You are now ready for acast. The rod isnearly vertical and the line is drawn taut. By a motion gradually increasing in rapidity, wave the rod backward over the lett shoulder, at the same time loosing the bit of wood and allowing the line to swing stralght out behind you. Then, before the wood can touch the ground in your rear, wave the rod, by a gradually quickening ‘motion and with a slight curve to the right, tor- ward so as to whip the line to the fuil length that is unwound,straight out before you, allowing the block, which at present is your fly. to settle lightly on the ground. Now, to cast again, wind off, by turning the reel, a foot more of line, and then, by a gentiesweep of the rod up- ward and backward. fling the line full length straight behind you, and before it can fall to the ground throw it forward again as in the first cast. Try this over and over, until you get so that you can fling out twelve feet of line every time and make your bit of woud go to just the spot you aim at. This accomplished, you are ready to begin practice on water with a fly. You must now “rig your cast,” a3 anglers say; that is, you must loop six feet of heavy “silk gut,” called a Stretcher, on to the end of your line, to which stretcher two flies must be attached oe short pieces of like material, one at the end of the stretcher and the other two or three feet from tne end. The short line by which the fly is attached to the stretcher is called a snell or snood. ——--____. How a Gameof Poker Was Sto From the Boston Traveler. A past city official was entertaining a number of members of the city government at his hos- pitable residence. The day was Saturday. Supper had been partaken of, and at its close a “little game of draw” was proposed, and before many minutes the entire party were deeply en- gaged in the mysterious and fluctuating for- tunes ot “poker,” as laid down in General Schenck’s rules for the government of that al- Inring but fickle game. The time flew rapidly | and merrily, the blind goddess lowering on now one and now anotuer. At length it was no- ticed that the hands of the clock passed the hour of midnight, and the players were en- croaching upon the first hour of the Sabbath. But what cared they for that? There were large sums of money on the table, and the “pot” wav one of formidable proportions, “I'll raise you $5,” exclaimed one of the players. “I'll see that and raise you $10,” shouted another in his excitement “I'll raise the whole of you out of this!” was the cry ofa newcomer, as ‘a female was seen enveloped in -her night clothes and with a Lorsewhip in her hand. There was an immediate break made for the door, and some even found exit by the window, abandoned the “pot” and whatever money there was on the tavle, and itis said that some of those city oMecials are xaenieg fee that littie game upto the nt time. lady of the houge ad- mot her siege lord—not over gently, it is to be presumed—on his desecration of the Sab- bath, quictly swept up the money and betook herself ouce more to bed.

Commissioner Loring, at Washington, gives us reliablereportsfrom allthe states, but neither can tell us what the ruling price will be tor cot- ton or corn, or wheat, or pork, or beef cattle. That is settled in New York and Chicago. Neither the weather nor Providence has any- thing to do with it. I see by the papers that they are fixing up another big corner on wheat in Chicago, and they have already got thelr agents.all over the northwest buying it upat a low price, and they will hold it for a high price. Wheat never advances much until the rascals have bought most of it—not untilthey have bought all that the average poor farmer has fo sell. That is just what isthe matter with our people. Both the farmer and the average con- sumer are alike the victims of the speculator. The farmer has to sell too low and the con- sumer buy too high, There is no general aver- age—no uniformity. Rich farmers who can af- ford to hold seem to like these corners pretty well, They get a big price by holding and waiting for the Chicago bulls. But the masses of farmers that have to sell soon after the | harvest, and the masses of the laborers and mechanics fatten for a while on cheap flour, which, I suppose, puts them in a better con- dition to perish after a while when the price is doubled. Figures don’t lie, and the figures say that in 187 most of the wheat was sold by farmers at 85 cents, and after the Chicago buils had bonght it they ran it up to $1.33. In 1883 it was sold for ninety-five cents, and the bulls ran it up to $1.45. When they had vought all | they could they blockaded the elevators and the railroads with it to keep down competition and prevent the holders, who still had some to sell, from getting into the market. Now, what ought to be done to them fellows who make their millions out of the life blood of the poor? We regulate railroads with a commission, and we get after the distillers with the whole power of the government, but these cornerers who suck the blood of labor and toil are allowed to go free. They patronize the banks liberally and theretore the banks are their friends, and the banks control Congress and so we have no relict. ‘There is an epitaph on the tomb of Sir Robert Peel, and it says, “He gave the poor cheap bread,” and no man has a nobler one than this. But here sit the American Congress and state legislatures looking onall this iniquity and do no- thing. How do they expect labor to be reconciled to capital and go on smoothly when the common laborer can barely live at his wages,and sudden- ly find that bread and meat have gone up 50 per cent, and that rich, heartless speculators have combined against him? How can he be recon- ciled? How can he be kept from thinking and talking and drifting into communismand organ- izing strikes for higher wages. There is life and death in this business. The averave age of the rich is5d—of the poor it is 35. Only eighty children out of 1,000 die among the wealthy. classes, but 309 die among the poor. As food grows dear sickness and death grow plenty. Scarcer bread means more abundant crime; lar- ceny Increases as flour advances. The common laborer who works in the factories for daily wages gets barely enough for bread, meat, and clothing when these things are cheap. He gets nothing for luxuries, nothing for comforts,noth- ing for sickness or doctors’ bills or old age. Nothing for the accidents of life, a broken lez or abroken arm. Nothing for fire or flood, or pestilence, or any other calamity. He has to live by faith and hope—a shrinking faith and a despairing hope, and continual apprehension for the welfare of his children. The great ques- tion with us is what will become of our chil- dren. Will they be able to weather the storms of life when we are gone? Will they flud em- ployment and be able to live comfortably, and marry respectably and have a good home and be happy? We hope so—we pray for it and | work for it. but there 1s less hope tor the next | generation than the last, tor the rich are getting | richer and more heartless, and the poor are get- ting more dependent. When a man iakes a | fortune at leyitimate trading it is all rignt and honorable, but when he builds up by pulling somebody else down it fs all wrong. and not only dishonorable but criminal. The laws of England forbid it. The law# of the United States do, too, but they don't enforce them. Fore- | stalling the market is a crime in all civilized countries but ours. When Armour bought up 500,000 barrels of pork and a million more in futures, at nine dollars a barrel and sold out at eighteen, he made seven millions of dollars, but he never produced anything or added one dol- lar to that already produced. What he made somebody else lost. He made it all out of the consumer—that Is, the masses—chictly the poor. What kind of an ‘epitaph out to be put on his tombstone? “This man’s greed was great—his pity was small. If there bea hell he is enjoy- ing it.” In 1881 the Chicago syndicate cornered 70,000,000 bushels of wheat. Why, what pro- tection have the people got? Gen. Toombs once made a very notable speech and said he would lead his chilaren to an altar, and, like Hamilear of old, swear them to eternal hostility against this foul Momination, and just so I feel when- ever I read about Armour and Keene and Jay Gould and company, and ponder upon. their machinations. Iwant to lead my children to an aitar and swear them—yes, swear them to fight monopolies, to fight these torestallers and cornerers and plunderers of the working peo- ple.

I suppose you have heard that story about the country- man who saw an operator working an old Morse paper instrument and called his girl up to see this fellow make paper collars.’ *” “How do you manage to keep your ear on one instrument when there are twenty or thirty go- ing in the same room?” “There is no difficulty in that,” was the reply. “Itis as easy as it is for you to keep the run of a friend’s conversation when there are other persons talking in the room.” “But no two voices are alike,” hinted the re- porter dubiously. “No two instruments sound alike to an oper- ator, and there is no more difficulty in distin- guishing the click of your instrument in a room- ful than in distinguishing the familiar tones of a brother's voice.” ise you tell whois sending at the other end?” “We can easily detest a friendly hand, al- though I don’t know as I could make you un- derstand how.” “Do you hear anything that goes over the wires?” “We could If we cared to, but that gets to be avery old story. We only listen for our call, which is repeated till we answer, and then the message is sent.” “I suppose you have had some sad experiences when you receive messages of death or sick- ness.” “Well, hardly. Ifwe were affected by such things we should be in a perpetual state of grief. You don't notice them at all. Why, once I received a message addressed to me say- ing that I had ome a father, but I had be- come so used @ such things—I mean to re- ceiving such messages—that I never noticed to whom it was addressed, and sent it down to the counting room with @ bundle of other dis- patches I had received at the same time.” “Speaking of curious experiences,” chimedin another operator who had n listening to the conversation—“‘speaking of curious experiences, Iremember when I was working nights at a little station on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy read.

He had telegraphed the word “help” by touching the ends of the wire together.” = og Why A Horse “interferes. The reason a horse interferes, 1. ¢., “cuts,” is purely anatomical. If the animal “toes out- ward,” reject it for the road; it is valueless; and for slow use, half-price is enough; for breeding, probably good for nothing. The toe, knee and shoulder are allin a line with each other, hence at every step the foot is behind its mate, and in bringing it forward it cuts, cuffs or inlerferes, a point near the toe striking the opposite fet- lock, or above it. There is no remedy. The shoulders are not parallel, but set obliquely, the same as the foot. A horse somade cannot hel cutting, or {fa horse toes inward it is im; ble for it to hit. The smith cannot make him cut, nor prevent it in the other casa . ‘WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. One of the Ingredients Used to Enrich the Brewer.

What of it?” “Do you see the schgoner in the draw of the bridge and the other approaching it?” “I do; both have, bark also.” an eth that’s the wayyou see tt here day after y. “What do they want with so much of it? Do they burn it or use it In the tanneries?” “There is the interesting point. The stuff won't burn worth a cent. It is hemlock bark, It is sometimes used in the tanneries, but you can’t imagine that all that comes up the river is used in making leather. The tan-yards would hardly hold it in stacks.” “Then what becomes of it?” “It is used as an adulteration for beer. Large quantities ofit are ground up and shipped to other points, Chicago brewers can atford to make pure beer, and I guess they do it; but this bark is fixed up here and sent to other places. I suppose you know that brewers do not now report the ingredients of which their beer is made, as they once did. The courts have de- cided that they are not compelled to do so. I have made some casual inquires and I learn that. tan bark and soda are the principal substances used. A little rice malt gives it body and makes it hold the foam. Hemlock bark is a new dis- covery in this respect and is useful because it takes the place, to a certain extent, of both malt and hops.’ It is not poisonous, but it cer- tainly cannot be said to contain any nutriment.

From the Boston Transcript. Hildebrand de Montmorency knelt at the feet of Yolande Vavasour. “Lady, command me a duty to test my love,” said the impassioned knight. i “Sir Hildebrand,” rejoined the damsel, “often hast thou promised me to do deeds of high emprize in my name. Know that the king of Abyssinia has one fair daughter whom he guards from all the world. She has never seen the tace of man, save her father and her brothers, forthe king sweareth she isa pearlof great price, and that there lives no man worthy of her. The courtyard of her palace is guarded by five-and-twenty trained lions who rend all In- truders. In her seclusion this fair princess has learned a great secret. She knoweth how to do up her back hair without filling her mouth with hairpins. I command you to travel to Abys- sinia, learn her secret and return to me ere yet @ year passes.” So saying, she gave her colors —ascarf composed of twoshades of ecru, bound with tillenl, shirred and cut bias—to the good knight, who thereupon set out on his quest. Scarcely had the sound of the hoofbeats of the knight’s palfrey died away in the distance when there arose from the neighboring pome- granate grove the strains of a melody of passing sweetness. Opening in 6-8 time in C minor, the melody, after a series of arpeggios in B-flat major, was skilfully developed by the inversion ofthe dominant seventh and passed into A, whence, atter a brief succession of mordents written in close counterpoint, it was taken up by a cadenza, and ended in one long-drawn res- olution of six consecutive fitths, allegro assai, sforzando, scherzo, a meno mosso, ‘By my halidom,” said the lady, ‘an angel with his voice tuned to concert pitch could scarce sing sweeter than yon strain.” Scarcely had these words passed her lips when | Blondel, the minstrel, knelt before her, the ophicleide, the favorite instrument of medieval minstrelsy, being drawn in a cart behind him. “Lady, an’ then lovest_ me, such strains shall echo around thee all thy life. even though the neighbors should set up opposition with accord- eons.” : “Minstrel,” rejined the fair one, “thy songs are sweet, and fain would I give thee the rich reward thou crayest, though I know many music teachers’ wives have to live in extremely ineli- gible flats; but as I have set a task to the good knight Sir Hildebrand de Montmorency, it is but fitting one should be assigned thee to test thy truth. Know, then, that there dwellest ona high rock in the river Rhine, in Almayne, a maiden wondrous fair, who singeth a song that brings to her lovers from far and near. Woe to him who is drawn to the rock whereon she sings. She seizes him and carries him to her en- chanted palace in the river's depths, whence he never reappears. I charge thee go to Almayne; transcribe this song. Be not lured by the Lore- lei, but bring me back the authorized score of the song, with full orchestra parts. No piano- forte score with instrumental indications will be accepted at this shop.” “Lady,” firmly answered the minstrel, ‘an’ I do not thy behest: I were only fit to be lbrarian toacircus band,” and after breathing out his soul in one impassioned cadenza on the orphi- cleide, he departed on his way. There lacked but a day of a year since the knight and the minstrel departed when they reached the castle gate again from the success- Tul completion oftheir tasks. But, alas! their perils were in vain. The lady Yolande was wed to Sir Aldezonde de Treville. He had kept at home and invented ice cream. ——_—$§_o-_____ Im Ancient Rothenburg. Professor G. B. Wilcox, in the Advance. I believe I found in Rothenburg the queerest, quaintest and one of the most antiquated and picturesque cities in Europe. I have never seen an American who had found his way to the town. It lies on the outskirts, so to speak, of the railway system of Germany. A rickety branch road—the seven miles of which it took the train nearly an hour to traverse—ends near one of its gates. Nobody ever happens in Roth- enburg. He is there, if at all,on purpose. If a young lady, whom I met in Lelpstc, had not told so fascinating a bit of history of it, and painted so vividly its medieval attractions, this account would never have been written. Nuremburg, which lies onthe common route of travel, is supposed by most tourists to be the ideal of a romantic old town of the mid- dle ages. But it is nothing to Rothenburg. The flavor of the nineteenth century is steal ing into it. New-fangled ways and modern improvements are making fearful havoc. Why, I saw houses in Nuremburg that are not a day more than ahundred and fifty years old! I was shocked by the sight of a dozen, at least, piste glass windows. There is gas in Nurem- jurg. They have street cars there. Some of the city wall has been torn down to let in more nineteenth century. But hardly a sight or sound within the circuit of Rothenburg breaks in upon your medixval dream. The narrow, dingy streets are lighted—so far as lighted at all—by lanterns. These are hung on wires stretched across the strects, and are drawn in by pulleys to one side, to be replenished. Street- rail or gas-lamp there is none. The town is hugged completely around with turreted gates. And the towera, as they, throw their arms ten- derly about their chi , look back to bid de- fiance to all modern intrusions. At some points the very water in the moat stiil sleeps in vener- able stagnation. As your omnibus rattles under three or four successive arches into the silent streets, the lingering echoes of our new era die away behind, and you dropfouror five centuries from human history. You wander through the little city (of mot ‘more than 6,500 in- habitants) wherever - your feet ‘incline, and pass hundreds of houses, any one of which would be the chief “lion” of an American town. Most of them were stand- ing before the pilgrim fathers left Holland— many of them before America was discovered. With their steep, towering, red tiled roofs, their sculptured gateways and corner turrets for de- fense. and gloomy court yards, they look down in lordly compassion of your freshness and fone upstart nation beyond the sea. Hour after ‘our I roamed the streets, looking in vain for a single modern house. Every street is paved throughout, with not .a sidewalk to be seen, ‘The primitive simplicity and naturalness of the Rothenburgers, too, are charming. About every man you meet recognizes you at once as ‘a stranger, and feeling that the town owes you courtesy, touches his hat witha cordial smile. Nota bad example for some of us Americans. It must be ‘ed that the odor of antiquity In some ot the by-atreets is slightly too strong for the most romantic. But one can pardon ‘that, and even overlook the torture-chamber, under the Rathhaus (of which the present generation is innocent) 1p consideration of all the weird fascination of the quaint old town. pcascis ery Veet ole D Bob Ford on the James Acquittal.
