OUR EUROPEAN LETTER.
Correspondence Jeffersonian.
Messrs, Editors. The American
who takes passage on tbe Brcmn
line of steamers does not Cod his first
riew of Germany the moat pre
possessing. The bay is Terr shallow
and muddy, and the port, a little dis
tance off presents the appearance of
a number of nooses mixed np with a
great many matt. Nearly all the
bouses are roofed with tile or straw.
A few wind-mills, turning slowly, can
be seen among tbe real, and at one
aide of town tbe rows of fruit trees
which mark many of the public roads
in tli it country. As soon as on loara
we entered the depot to await the
train for Ureinen city, rou ougm
to have seen how our Germans
drank beer and ate Hamburg cbeetie
Many took a beeUteak, and I among
them. It took just tbirty minutes
for that cook to get it ready. I have
timed eating houses several Uines
since, aud have never seen a beefsteak
brought out in less than twenty min
ute. But when tbey lo coine, luey
are delicious. A bcfclalesk coot from
twenty to twenty five cents
Soon we were on our way to Bre-
i . . .
men, passing over a level itbci i
country, of which the upland, if not
cultivated, is covered with oak, elm,
beech, pine and cedar, though small
and insignificant when compared wit'i
the forests of Auieriia. Tbe lew
land is ia some places good pasture,
but otbers, only turf. Where there
was pasture there were many cattle
and sheep. Tbo cattle and sheep, I
guess, are the same siock wmcu
Jscob recti ved out of Laban's droves
and flocks, for the cattle are all spot
ted, and many 4,brown among the
sheep.
We stopped at five stations between
Bremen Harbor and tbo city. At
each of these, most of tbe passengers
ate and drank. I had lieen told that
peoplo are always hungry when they
first come off tbe sea. Cit now I
know it, I am not certain but that 1
have forgotten some of the puces ai
which I ate that day, but 1 remember
of having eal. ii "six'' uicali, and each
time with as great a rdiuh as I ever
ate a diuuer at my mother's table,
after ploing two acres of corn in
the Crst half of a June day.
At Bremen our crew, who had by
Ibis time become as familiar with
each other as old friend, scattered,
bound lor different plaeca. 1 re
mained in tho cily a week. At first,
everything hoc mod very curious. The
narrow streets, aud still narrower
sidewalks, which seem to have been
Uid out without any plan whatever;
tho rod tile roofing on the houses,
and rectangular shape of doors and
windows: the universality of white
I '
Jaee curtaius, aud the similarity be
tween business and dwelling houses
all are novel. Tbe people are gener
ally smaller than tbe averngo Ger
mans in ntsluro, with a light eye, light
hair, and very light complexion
And then thitsn scooping, broad
hriininod hats, continuing with tbe
crown the same acinic I hut the nose
and forehead itear: tbe well-fitted
short coal and liht pantaloons,
bich assist in tlmpUyiu their mns
ties ; aud the liv. lied coachman and
strutting soldiers make the place
still more interealinc; to tbe new
comer.
A thousand years ago Bremen was
a fort. Tbe city, with ninety thous
and inhabitants, has grown up about
it. As, of course, a fort ia tho cen
ter of a city which is situated upon
level ground, is perfectly useless.
its ramparts were razed and the
place laid out in drives and walks,
and the space between planted with
hade and ornamental trees, shrubs
and flowers. The excavation ia used
as a pond which is supplied from tbe
river Weser, alxve, and returned
to it below again. Thus, though the
Water passes these aqueducts so slow
that you cannot see it move in tbe
ponds, it is kept pare. I say ponds,
because the streets have in crossing
the old fort side, cut the park into
several divisions, whicb, however,
-1 docs not destroy their beauty. Upon
the ponds float six or seven varieties
I of duck, and both the American and
jt I kuropcan swan, in the trees are
many sweet songsters, and in the
walks are many gallant gentlemen
and fair ladies. "It is good to
bcre.'
There are lew places ot particular
interest ia Bremen. The Exchange
building is probably the finest in the
city. As yon enter this building,
your right and left are two rows
columns ol the Doric order support'
ing the root. Behind these columns
on the wall are the arms of all the
German States. Fall la front of yon
on the opposite side is the bust, life
size, of "William I , King of Prussia,
and Kaiser of Germany," the man
whose regular army numbers a mil
lion of well drilled soldiers, who
boasts that in two hundred battles
they have always been victorious.
Above this bast, and a little behind
it, is a painting of the families which
formed the confederation of the Ger
man States. The painting represents
them debating the subject. Sow,
am not a judge of painting, bnt as
write here in Uanover, I remember
that as I looked upon the honesty
and determination depicted ia those
faces my own brows knit in sympathy,
There is an old cellar in this city
whicb has stored in It a great many
hogsheads of wine. It has been used
as it is now, for a convivial place,
a great many Tears. The custom
the plsoe is to keep the wine separate,
of course, and keep its age, and each
year add a small per cent, on
price for Interest. There is some
very costly w-ncs marked on their
drinking list. Some of It ia nearly
three hundred years old.
The last place I shall mention
the Dome It is as old, very old
church, erected by the Roman Csth
olics in the tenth or eleventh centu
ries. For tbe last two hundred years
the Lutherans have used it for their
worship. It is very quaint, and
would Ih folly for me to attempt
discretion in lull, it bas many
rooms, avenacs and gangways, many
paintings and inscriptions of different
ages upon the walla. But probably
the most interesting feature of the
place is a small room twenty feet
wide and about thirty long, off in one
corner of the Imilding, which has
the peculiar property of preserving
flesh. I could see nothing peculiar
place or the structure ot room.

the floor being about two feet llow
tbe level of the adjacent rooms. I
could feel nothing peculiar in tbe air
except that it was very dry. Codies
ot men and animals are placed here,
and decomposition never takes place.
Here are tbe remains o! a Dutchess
of Sweden, a Dutchess of England,
a general, a carpenter who fell and
broke bis neck, a student who was
shot through tbe head in a duel, and
many otbers Some of these have
been here over four hundred years,
and are s whole tut the day they
were placed here. In Bremen, as in
all places where there is any thing
curious, tbey claim it to le tbe only
place of the kind in tbe world. But
I have since understood that there is
a cave near Vienna, and a room in
the cathedral at Borne, in which aUo
bodies of men or animals dry in tbe
amo manner.
There is much difference in the
manner and cost of living here and in
America. Some articles of consump
tion are much cheaper and some
dearer. Money can be loaned to
bankcis at three per cent, for one
month, three and a half per cent, for
three months, and four per cent, for
six mouths. All kinds of articles,
whicb have taken much labor in
preparation, are cheap. I cm buy
the same coat here for twenty tbult-rs
(817,14-100) which would coat thirty
dollars in Findlay, Nina premium
dollars ($7,72-100) id the price for
furnishing lining ami trimming and
making a dress coat here in Ilanovsr.
Hanover is a city, which a few years
ago supported one of tbe most polite
and fashionable courts in Europe,
and is to day considered one of the
most expensive cities, so that I am
safe in saying that tbe style of dress
as fashion al ilo as in all Germany.
All articles for wear arc cheap. But
meats are very costly. Koofsteak is
thirty cents per pound, and other
meats in proportion.
In my next letter I will give you
sumo idea of the manner ol German
living. I shall remain in Hanover
some lime. For the present, good
Yours, etc.,

THE PRESIDENT'S FATHER.
Mr. J. II. Mayboroe communicates
to the Chicago Inter- Ocean tbe fol
lowing account of tbe kind attentions
he received from the late Jesse Grant,
when, wounded and a stranger, he
was being brought North : "In An
gust, 18U3, while acting as Assistant
Paymaster at Vicksbure, where Gen
eral Grant's troops were stationed, I,
in common witu otucrs, received an
order to return to St. Louis to make
up our accounts. Illness detained
me until the latter part of the month,
when, still suffering, I took the
steamer Kentucky for tbe North,
accompanied by a young man named
Henry rowers, an attendant, tie
had left Vicksburg but a few hours
when a tall, elderly gentleman en
tcred our state room, k or a moment
ho stood looking at Henry Powers
aud myself, and becoming satisfied ot
our relations, he motioned Henry to
to leave the room, and took bis seat
by my side. The weather was intol
erably warm, and the gentleman
fanned me and showed me much con
sideration in various ways. During
the trip to Memphis, which lasted
from Thursday till Monday, this gen
tletnan came into my room three or
four times a day, relieving Henry
from his care, and ever acting in the
most considerate and soothing roan
ner. We missed him after the boat
loft Memphis, and Henry ascertained
at the oilice that our friend had leit
the boat at that point, and that he was
aoae other than Jesse R. Grant, the
father of the victorious General.
His kindness to me was not an iso
lated act.. There were many sick
and wounded soldiers on the vessel
all of whom he had visited, spending
nearly bis whole time in sympathetic
ministrations.' -
Among the statesmen, budding or
blighted, who used the "Fourth" as
an occasion for popular instruction
was tbe great Liberal of Illinois, sx
Gov. Palmer. Ho occupied three
fourths of an hour in saying that the
American people had abandoned the
practice ot self-government, and tu
teen minutes in telling all he knew
about the railroad question. Mr,
Palmer's wisdom on tho latter topic
is principally remarkable in that it is
opposed to tho wisdom of everybody
else. He told his hearers that none
of the remedies of railwsy oppression
proposed by "professional reformers'
were worth anything, bat his own
remedy it would be difficult to define.
Ia a general way, it seems to consist
in cutting down profits on watered
stocks. This ia well, if only some
practical way had been discovered to
ascertain exactly what proportion oi
the railway stocks are water. But
when a great man has kindly pointed
ont that everybody else is wrong.
perhaps that Is as much evidence as
we ought to ask for that he is himself
right. In Gov. Palmer's case, it is,
at all the evidence we are

THE WRECKED STEAMER.
The telegraph brings the following
additional particulars and incidents
of the wreck of the steamer City of
Washington :
A five column statement of a City
of Washington passenger charges
that the loss of the steamer was dae
to the criminal carelessness ot the
officers and crew, and that all just
barely escaped being engulfed. An
ocan captain, a pasenger, frequently
aroed the chief officer t'.al ne was
jm.ing too far northward, and ad-
SfcJ running a hundred miles lartner
.u.n. but the aavicoa i uisrttgara
ed, although the second officer coin
cided in it. No eight was taken for
seven days, noiwituHiamiiug me
vcsiel was going through a heavy fog
at the rate of twelve or thirteen knots
an hour." Had she strucz at nignt
she would have gone down ; or had
she gone to tbe right or le:t two hun
dred yirds she would have struck
either Green Island or the reefs, and
feirful loss of life would have en
sued. The saloon passengers were
mostly chatting or playing cards,
ben, at half past one o'clock r v.
Saturday, the ship went at full speed
on -ulf Kock Shoal. She gave
wo slight bumps, and a tremendous
tremor ran through her. No one had
the smallest idea where the ship was.
After tbe lapse of half an hour of
terrible confusion, the cannon firing,
fog-horn blowing, and women and
children shrieking, a sailor cried, "I
bear a human voice." A death-like
i enoe followed, and soon two brave
men, Cornelias Swanbnrg and Wil
liam Ferguson, who had put out
from tbe shore ia a small boat,
climbed up the side of the ship. The
latter had risen iiom a sick bed.
The work of disembarking immedi
ately commenced nnder their . guid
ance, with three of the ship's boats,
the second otllcer standing at tbe
gangway of tbe ladder with hatchet
in hand, threatening to cut down any
man who tried to get into the boats
before the women. Meanwhile, the
bumping and scraping of the stern
post and rudder continued, arousing
fear teat the ship would break in two.
Tbe steerage passengers, however,
remained remarkably quiet, but no
attempt to rush was made. Some ol
tbe women displayed great presence
of mind and heroism, sitting quietly
to be railed upon to disembark. A
young Irish girl came and asked the
narrator whether she should ever see
Castle Garden at all. On receiving
an affirmative reply, she wrapped an
Ulster coat rounl her, gave him a
kiss and descended to tbe small boat
Once all on shore tbe Germans
gathered in one group, and the Irish
emigrants in another. All neighbor
ing barns and out houses were soon
occupied, and the adjoining fences
were soon stripped of rails. Fires
were built, biscuits distributed, coffee
served and all were happy under a
sense ot the great danger esc&ped.
The cabin ladies were received into
the houses of a Mrs. Hardin? and
Mrs. Lewis, who, with their uaugh
ters, cared for them like ministering
angels, boon many ot tbe poor em
igranta were fast asleep, lying about
in barns or on tbe beach, under
banks and big rocks. Colonel Par
nell, of the United States army, was
very prominent in affording assist
ance to the latter, and conducting
them to places of shelter. Tbe ship's
doctor was also very emcient in
erecting tents, distributing cordials
etc The cabin passengers raised
subscription of 8200 for the heroes,
Swan burg and Ferguson, and more
will probably be forthcoming. Stores
of 'blankets, beef, biscuit, fcc , were
landed all day Sunday and Monday
from the ship.
On Mondsy the ship was found to
lie in fifteen feet ot water, apparently
as solid as the rock she rested on.
Had she backed off on first striking,
she would probably have sunk in five
minutes. Ten minutes after striking
she began to fill, and on Monday bad
nlteen feet ol water in her hold.
When tbe narrator left, the neighbor
ing people were showing every atten
tion to the rescued passengers, and
there were plenty of provisions for
all tor days to come, lie doses his
narrative by compa-ing the naviga
tion of the City of Washington to a
man galloping at a breakneck speed
through darkness down a tarnpike.

A WORD FOR THE GRANGES.
to
President Welch, of the Iowa State
Agricultural College, one of the most
efficient institutions in the whole
country, and located in the State that
has had more experience with tbe
Grange than any other, adressed the
Patrons of Husbandry as follows :
Oar bond of union is the congeni
ahty of like pursuits. Tbe leading
purpose of the farmers college and
farmers grange though gained
through different paths, are largely
the same. The Grange" seeks to aid
the farmer by multiplying his means
of intelligence, by giving him the
mastery of all the better methods and
processes of the farm, by quickening.
intensifying, and elevating all the
better elements of his social life.
The Grange would secure the farmer
sgainst the torpidity of solitude and
the extortions of monojoly; would
kindle in his breast a readier zeal and
steadier courage ; would touch all the
labors ot his hands with a glow of
enthusiasm ; and, in short, would do
for him what skillfully organized
effort has already done for every
other great human industry on the
round earth. All this the Urang
aims to do by means which are the
most immediate and direct. All this
also tbe Farmers' College strives to
do oy another method ; by giving
knowledge, to such as will seek it, of
all those practical sciences that un
derlie tbe processes of agriculture
by training and sending forth men
who may become, as the years pass,
the leaders in the grand movement
which the Urange has inaugurated.
it is in harmony with this noble par
pose that the college, instead of
draining tbe rural districts of their
most promising youths and gradu
ating them to swell the overcrowded
ranks ot law, or to wander in perpet
ual search of a vacant pulpit, sends
back the farmer's son to the farm, so
educated that he revitalizes all its
operations and gives them a new and
endunng interest. Such are the be
nign objects which these two great
enterprises are organized to further.
And, mark you, each seeks to accom
plish its aim by tombuud effort the
college, on a closer and more concen
trated plan ; the Grange, on a wider
and grander scale. And what effort
ot man for attainment of good, or the
defeuse sgainst evil has ever reached
its final triumph, since the world be
gan, without combined effort ? Com
bination ia, in fact, the great instru
ment ot progress. Civilization would
relapse into barbarism without it,
of
- sssatos iimii expresses so
licitude that tbe Grangers shall con
duct their movement with becoming
wisdom. The Cincinnati Enquirer
pais ue matter sore plainly, and
nopes me farmers will "organize and
nominal wr um uemocraUc party:
JNio doubt the managers of that
apochryat organization would be ex
ceedtngly obliged to the farm ins: ele
ment if it would do something of that
sort, and thereby relieve them from
a great mental worry. And yet pre
cedents are against it, for last year
another element was called npon to
nominate for the Democratic party,
and without that signal success which
produces gratification in reading the
election'rsturna. Experience would
seem to suggest that if the party can
master sufheent vigor for the task,
now try its hand in doing its own nom
inating. v. a jwrneu.

Minnesota is about to receive a
most desirable aunncntaliou to her
population in the shape of about 2 ),
000 Mennonitcs, as they are called
These people emigrated from Holland
to Russia in the lost century on ac
count ot exemption from military ser
vice, uecentiy, however, their ex
emption was taken away from them,
and they concluded to come to Amer
ica. Their first intention was to set
tie in the British colony of Manitoba,
as they preferred a Northern climate
Their delegates happened to vimt t
locality ol which fanalionl Freud;
Catholic half-breeds formed the c!m i

mobbed them. Uonviaccil Ironi tins
that Manitoba was no place for them
or their people, the delegates crossed
the lino into the United States, and
selected lands adapted to their pur
poses. Already 820,000 worth ol
agricultural implements havo been
ordered in St. Paul for the colony, and
the men to use them will soon be on
the ground.
A Washington dispatch says that
since the 1st inst., about three hun
dred and fifty subordinate granges of
the Patrons of Husbandry have been
organized, making the total nnmbc
of granges in operation to date, over
four thousand seven hundred, with an
aggregate membership of about 350,
000. The order seems to be growin
in the States of Iowa which now
has seventeen hundred and fifty
granges Missouri, Indians, Illinois,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin
In response to requests from different
States, several additional generd
deputies have recently been sent out
by the national grange, to crganiz
subordinate eranscs. There arc at
present State granges in Arkansas
California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mis8i86ippi,Missouri,Nebraska,Norlh
Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tex
nessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.
Wb learn that on Saturday last tw
hundred farmer of ltoss county in
this State met to consider the scheme
of forming a grange. They had do
fore them the regulations of the IN a
tional Grange Association, requiring
each grange to pay a large enroll
ment fee, or something of the sort,
into the general treasury. The Ross
county farmers discussed for a long
time the question what this big
amount of money could be wanted
for. Not being able to solve the
question satisfactorily, they conclud
ed not to organize any grange and
dispersed. There are other people
besides the Ross county farmers who
would like to know what all the
money is wanted ior. If to buy i-p
legislators, judges and small newspa
pers, then this farmers' grange move
ment is a thing to be watched. There
is no legitimate work before the
granges that can require a formidable
treasury. The public would like to
know more about this. Cleveland
