A QCEEB BEUGIOUS SECr IX OHIO. Something Abont Their M saners and Castoms-Tbe Origin of the Colony. Eds Wilbelmi McLean, M. D., in Boston Cburvr.- This little colony of Zoar has from 200 to 400 people, snd In no way reaemblea any other sect known in the United S atee. Tbelr village is situated in a beauti ful valley cf Tuscarawas county, Ohio. For miles tbelr fertile high lands and and low lands stretch out before you as you pa s either by rail or carriage, and by tbe luxuriant verdure of foliage and rich green fields are easily dis tinguishable from tbe less highly cul tivated land of individual proprietor. No fences mark the boundaries of their farms; here aud there a clump of trees marks tbe site of some Iro'attd houee. mt more than two of these, probably, to be found on all their land. Tbey follow tbe old German custom, live together in a village and go from there in numbers to tbelr work in the morning and return at uigbt. ' Beligious - persecution compelled them to leave Wurtembarg, Germany, in 1817, to find a free home in Ameri ca. Joseph lilemler, a teacher and re ligious enthusiast, headed this little colony and brought them to tbis conn try. They landed at Philadelphia, Pa. He bought them, from Quakers in that city on long credit in 118. 6500 acres of the land they nowown.of which tbey took po'seesion in midwinter. Tbey wtre almost destitute of money, farm ing utenrils, food and the necessaries of life. Tbe land was oovered by for eats; no settlement were near and the country abounded in animals of prey. . . Bark huts snd leg shanties were built and aflotded their only shelter. Tbe hardships of poverty, cold and hunger were endured. Cutting their way through heavy timber, grubbing up tbe underbrunb, breaking tbe ground snd e'eaning off the stones to make a fitting soil for tbe cultivation of tbe oorn aud potatoes which formed the chief articles of diet. Instead of the church so ng bell in vltirg to the house of God on Sundays the eouod of the trusty rifU was heaid reverberating among ths hills Veni son and game, which were abundant, were stored for the coming week. Tbe building of the Onio csnal gave th.m work and means to pay fur tbelr lands ; tbey took a section and alt bauds la bored upon it. women included. This was their beginning; they now own many thouod scree of the richest and b'st lsnd in the country, and era worth several millions ot dollars. Tbey invest their money in govern ment bonds, and are large holders of bank and railway etVooka. They live together in a small bat substantial and comfortable village, whose red tiled roots and church spire hiding in tbe green trees greet you from a dis tance with euch f rlendltneea that y a dream ot the "fatherland." The Wirtbsbaus waa built soon after the first winter, and waa open to trav elers straying tbat way. Mine in tbe kitchen as cook and "Fraa Winkain" scon had a reputation for as excellent dinner, and tor many years to go to Zoar for one of Mina'a "dinneia" was considered a rare treat by those who had lived e'en eo far as 100 miles away. la 1832 the Wirtbsbaus was rebuilt. Their church Is ot red brick, witbout arshiteetnral beauty, either outside or In, and ita only ornament is a very large and handsome pipe organ. They are a people very fond of music, and have several cf the very beat modern plsnoa and otber instru ments in their various homes and in the Wlrtbshaus. One of the greatest delights to me when a child was to be ttken to the house of "Alferi Frits," tbe cabinet maker, and bs shown tbe little old piano tbat he hsd himself made. He would play for me "Bound ing Billows." and the music and sonn of his folk lore by tbe hoar, and tien carefully, as if he loved it dearly, show me his work of ark, or rather, as be called it, his "weibthen"-little wife. lilemler used to preach to the Zoar ites every Sunday. One of the thoughtful members, after these Sun day preachings, went home and care fully wrote down these sayings of Blnraler as he remembered them. After Blemler's death they were ga'hered together and printed, and are now read from tha pulpit every Sun day by a litt e white-haired old man with gold-rimmed spectacles and a red bandana bandkerdef which he uses vigorously at every period. Their dead are burled witbout tbe least ostentation. The body is put into a rough box covered with straw, and at night is lowered into the grave, tbe relatives and friends never asking oor knowing where. They mourn in si'ence and without any outward rign. In a large whita building opposite the .Wiitbsbaus, called the "store," Uvea old Barbara, her fnce all seamed and wrinkled with care and age, her white hair combed straight back from her faoe, and a little tight fitting while cap tied nnder the ehm. Shs oomes to greet you, knitting in hand, as yon enter. This building is dsvoted to tha storing of tha quaint and curious articles, many ot them manufactured by tha villagers In ths old German manner. Each member of the locietv is en titled to bis share of tha goads, every thing being owned in common; but shou d any one leave, whioh is always optional, ha goes without anything. Any one may join none are obliged to star- Ha who would join binds himself for one year: if dlsmt'sfied, be leaves, taking what ba brought with htm ; it contented, a second year passes. He becomes a member, but is allowed no vote. At the beginning of the third year be signs his propei ty, it he has any, to the eocioty, bat if he then leaves he takes nothing with him. ; For many reasons tbey prefer poor peop'e to jo n them, aa they ate mors eertaln to remain. All vote, tbe young men at 21, the Soung women at 18. At these ages iey sign the constitution ot the so eioty. Originally their leader gov erned them; a large house waa built for him and be was tbelr law giver. Ua died, and in his place a successor was appointed, but at tbe same time three trustees were elected who hold office as long sa trustworthy, which In each cate so f.r has been a life time. Aa ear y as 1821 a grist mill wss built, snd a race construe'ed to it Tbis old mill, now no longer in use, is a picturetque place oovered by En glish ivy, with tbe gray monld lying on the old stone wall, the broken mill wheel covered by green lichens snd mosse, and the limpid water rippling over the stones losing itself in ths woods close by ( tha red tiled roof with Its stiff wooden weather cock flying on top, make one feel as if suddenly traos- B'anUd into one of tha mill regions of e Black forests. - "w . .... . ta. , i. now in use, and la built further down the stream. A woolen factory, vbere the wool from their sheep is made into home spun, yarn, blankets and flannels, and linen aWo woven for personal and household usee, ia atlll in vogue. A striking peculiarity to an American is the entire absence of any cotton fabrics ; everything tbat can be is made of pore white linen. A planing mill, foundry and furnace, all were t-uilt and are now in use. One of ths finest herds of Durham cows, sleek, fat and shining, being from 160 to 200, can be seen every mnrolng end evening, driven by the Kub-hist and his dog back and forth from the pssturee to their large bsrns. These cows have always seemed to me to be remarkably intelligent ; each cow knows her own stall, and qu etly goes along nntll she comes to it, turns in and s ajs there nntil the milking is over. Here yon see the veritable milkmaid. All tbe young girls in the village goto milk; their drsesee are tucked into the belt, the while sleeves of tbe linen chemise, which comes h'gh up to tbe throat, are rolled np over the arm, a bucket of rich foaming milk is bal anced on tbe head, acd with one arm akimbo and ba-d on hip, tbe other steadying tbe bucket, they go to tbe mllkhouee to empty the milk into a huge tank, when as much as is needed is distributed to tbe viltagers and tbe remainder made into butter and a pecu liar kind of chene. This milking of tbe cows is considered by visitors who go to stay during the summer months the mott en ertaining sight there. Cons'ance Fenimore Woolson, tbe novelist, used to frequent this little village every summer. She had a bathhouse built on the mill race, snd the Z ar people tell me that she wonld sit on the s'eps the whole day long, with the water running over her, while she read acd wrote. She wrote several ehortstories about the Zoarites, and one of them fell into their bands; it contained some misrepresentations, which angered tbem, and she was never tolerated there afterwards. Women and girls work In tbe fields during harvest time. A nursery wss in vogne until recently, where all oung children and babies were sent and uksn ca-e of by the colored women, who were incapacitated for other work. Bat now hard labor is not necesmry for the women, and they devote more time to their families and homes. One bakery and laundry answers for all; they bake only the nnlcaven bread. The small honey cakes tbat are rarel given to strangers I have through special kindness -been ofieo allowed to eat, and I can vouch for their delicionsoeiM. A brewery, snd large garden of two acrea, where only flowers aad orna mental shrubbery are grown, with a conaervatory attached, filled with rrs and bsaotlful plant, completes the list ol interesting objects. The gardener, Simon Bieler, and his wife, Mary, are two Important people. Mary is tbe midwife, the old doctor being dead. She, scientifl ally in structed; ushers into existence the babymembeia of tbe society. The gardener ia at the sama time sehool teacher and Justice ot tha Peaee, and an extremely pleasant and well edu cated man. But time bfg-'ns to moderafze these people; the change is very marked since a few years; railroads are pass ing through tbelr village and lands, bringing more of tbe stir and bnstla of tha outside world than has ever been there, and the orginal entbusiaete are dying off and aging, and the younger members bring innovations never dreamed of by their elders. Tbe most marked change is in their mode of dieea. The youngest mem bers no longer drees either themselves or their littla children in the "quaint street garb of yore" ; but instead, tbe furbelow and the flounce holds sway. If "old Mine," tbe cook, who has been dead and gone "this many a year," conld turn back and look into tbe Wirtbsbaus kitchen of today, and see the old tile stoves gone, and in their Elaoe, large modern ranges, I think er sweet, old face; would wear a puzaled look. Their religion, as near ss I can get it, is this: Their first loader, Bieraler, founded his belief in the simpl'ciry, purity and celibacy of Jesus Christ This ne gave to his followers as their law. There was no marriage for the first five years cf his reign, but finding that the laws of natnra are compul sory laws, that little crying waifs were found in all sorts of places, snd that the society would in all probability come to an untimely end, be parsed a decree that each man shenld take unto himself a wife, which is followed to thia day, mfcking tbem a moral, honest, simple people and a rich ana thriving community. Time will, no doubt, wipe out the sect, as many ot the present genera tion leave to go to the neighboring cities, reeking for themselves otber homes. no PEBrKT weiK att ood's.

Tbe only police ex ecnt ve in the place Is a Marshal, ad vanced in year, and decorated with a bodge which bears in La'ln the diplo matic axiom: "Discretion is the bet ter part of valor." As tbe Parnell es tate les about half a mile out of the "citv limita." and beyond tbe Mar shals jurisdiction, popular sentiment is in favor of allowing Mac a$er8!evin to earn bis own $20. Thoroughly con vinced of this, Mr. Slevin bas located spring guns In hidden places, and car ries a deadly weapon in his pocket and a terrible intention in his mind. The estate comprises 2 5 acres of the richest farming land snd the most pic turesque pUceof forest in tbe country. It stretches eastward over the bills from the bsnkj of the Raritan river at i s widest par'. A mile to tbe north tbe river receives the mule power com merce of tbe Delaware and Raritan Canal, that runs through a halt dozen locks into Trenton, about ten miles sway. Tbe homestead Itself stands upon a high bluff, around tbe base of which coils tbe single track of the Amboy division of the Pennsylvania railroad. A hundred hlsh and ancient trees, oak, ash, hemlock and elm, hide with their overarching branches tbe two story and a' tic frame house, that, uninhabited and ytt richly fur nished, faces the broad, sunlit surface of the Raritan river.

No spirals of blue amoke curl np from the chimneys, no footsteps disturb the dost deposit ot years, no voices awaken the echoes that want out ot existence exactly four yeara ago. On August 20, 1882, Miss Fannie Parnell died in tbe ,blg northwestern chamber up stairs. She was a poet re, and if tbe life-size Oil portrait that testa upon an eaeel in the deserted drawing room down stairs, is faithful to her features (and the neighbors ssy it is), she was a very beautiful young woman of about 27 vers, with great brown eyes, small rea Hps and an ex pression of qniet dignity. . She died ot consumption. Since that day her mother, Mrs. Delia Parnell, has never lived tor any length, of time in tbe houee of the old commodore, her father. Beautifully situated, ss it is, roomy snd homelike, the mother of tha most successful stat:sman of Ire land today prefers the hurly-burly of the city to the repote of ' Old Iroc aides." . It is not to be supposed that Mrs. Farnell shares tbe superstitious dread of tha old houss that tbe neighbors evince. . Not one of the practical farm era or their ever busy wives would sleep ene night in the bouse for any ooeaderation. Yet there are no evi dent es of ghostly visitation to be found within. The lofty, frescoed rooms on tha first floor are : all carpeted with flowered Brussels, and an occasional Turkish rug gives an air of luxury to the interior. The furniture is mahog any and is made in the styles ot an en tire century. The dining room opens directly en the front: piaazi and its windows overlook the broad plateau and glimpses of ! tha river csn be caught between the trunks of. venera ble trees. : The library is entered through an arcade to the south of the dining room. Here are antiquated book eases with diamond shaped panes ot glass protecting from tha dust several hundred books of very- diverse char acter. The books of John Adams, in handsome leather binding, stand aide by side with Mark Twain a light and airy aketches of ths humorous features ot travel and domestic life, 1 All the more ocst y books have been removed, however, to Mrs. Parneli's city home. Orer ths antique stone fireplace is hug a war painting of the gloomy Ii nte thai betray tbe brush of an old master. ' y n ! There are very maoy family tokens ef Charles Stewart Pameil's boyhood. The old sun dial on the bluff ever the river, which awakened his thirst for scientifle . mysteries, . is still there, borne of the books in the library bear his autograph and margin quotations, and in the attic, a-e a few old fash ioned tops and an old velocipede that are said t) have been his property. The father of St Clair McKelwav, editor in chief of the Bro klyn Eagle, was the family physician for Commo dore Steward, snd Mr. McKelway himself remembers tbe days long past when young Parnell and himself were dots together. Charlea 8iewait could fight his way even in those days. Curious brlc-a-bracs and fabrics from female fingers, old portrai's, little carvel bracelets supporting souvenirs of foreign trawl, festoons cf elephant tusks and tha eins of wild tropical animals, old a' boms filled with ths faces ot dear friends and the auto graphs of men and women known and unknown to history; in fact, every species of domestic treasure, tome of intrinsic value and some priceless from old associations, fill the old homestead and all these th!np ae protected from vandal bends partly by the belief that the house Is haunted and jpartly by tbe prowess of Edward Slevin. This "care taker" is an Iiishman of middle ige and a bachelor. Honesty and patriotism sre the only emotions that bis heart can fesl. He is the only man in Bordentown who dares to sleep in "O d Ironeider." He takes his meals at tbe house ol a farmer in his employ and associates wiih no-one except when business demands i'. He bears ths reputation of being a tough customer to interfere with, and his de votion to Mrs. Parnell is shown by toe admirably tbrilty condition of har es tate. Ths house barn is filled with hsy and grain, the fields are fully cul tivated and the fences are kept in per fect repair. Mrs. Pamell wrote to ber macager just before she left for Chicago last week that ou her return she might net f or a few days at the old homestead. Slevin is therefore making great preparations torso unusual a vieita tion. It was nearly a year sgo when the mother of Charles Stewart Parnell last rams to Ironsides. She remained eight days, and memories were too op pressive for a longer stay iu the ieo lated house. She is 72 years old, and Slevin ears he can notice berincreaed feebleness every time he sees her. II has been in her employ many years. The Star published tbe fact about a month tgo tbat Mrs. Parnell has made her will. This estate Is the priucipxl part of ber property. ' There is a mort gage upon it, but not for a quarter of its value. The expenditure of a few thousand dollars wonld transform it into a veritable paradise. I's location is unsurpassed for beauty of environs and facilities of access. But for ths activity and aggressive character of Sievin the place would ba in ruins lon an.
