LETTER FROM EUROPE.
MUNIC, BAVARIA, Sept. 4th, 1876.
Editor Journal: My last to yon
was dated from Verona, Italy, lotn
nit. and hone has reached you ere
this. The weather at the time of
that writing was so excessively hot
that I was surprised at myseu at
being able to write at all and I had
no idea of remaining there until the
30th August but then copious show
ers, heavy hail storms and a material
change in the temperature, and above
all the pleasant surroundings of the
manv near and far relations caused
the prolonged stay.
As stated on the 30th nit, I took
the cars at C:30 P. M., arriving here
the next day at 1:50 P. M., making
the trin over the celebrated Brenner
Mountains durine the night The
grand mountain sceneries lit np by
the moon, then almost full in fact
the road passed mostly along high
mountains, taking in and traversing
the Tyrol. Snow we found and saw
rdentv. if not immediately on the
road at least on the slopes of the
Mountains, sometimes reaching al
most down to the road bed, and over
coats and wraps were a necessity,
even with all the windows down in
the usual close and oppressive coupes
of the R. R. cars.
Since r.y avrival here I have put
in the time to best advantage possi
ble. I found the city crowded with
strangers, representing most all na
tions, owintr to the Exposition of
Fine Arts of the German Empire,
and- upon application at several ho
tels found every space and room oc
cupied and engaged ahead. But I
was sure I could make myself com
fortable some other way, and so I
made inquiries and secured rooms in
a private house at about double the
rent usually paid, and though not
perhaps as elegantly furnished, I have
at least a temporary home and a
place to lay down, and I cat where I
please and when I please.
Traveling is no doubt very in
structive and generally considered a
pleasure and recreation, but to travel
in the month of August in a climate
like that of Northern Italy proved to
be this year, is surely and most em
phatically anything else but pleasure.
Railroad cars are not a patent of
comfort, and such dust cannot be
fonnd in any other conntrj'.
Thanks to the change of the sea
son and the location of this country,
we now can breathe again and even
can make good use of a spring over
coat in the evening and mornings.
It would be of no use tor me to make
an attempt of giving a description of
this city as I hardly have seen enough
of it, and even if time should permit
a prolonged stay here I would hardly
attempt it
I would call it the City of Arts, for
I do not suppose there is another one
in the world where such a collection
of paintings, antiquities and general
works of art can be found, where
many foreign students make this
their home of study, and where at
one time the King of the land has
devoted such a Capital and such time
and attention to the various works of
art now to be admired.
In the large Museum, with collec
tions of Japan, China, part of North
America, including Indian antiqni
ties, Sandwich Islands and other isl
ands in the Pacific Ocean, Lapland,
South America and many other coun
tries can be seen all that an inquir
ing mind wishes to know about those
countries. Everything except the
living people, for perfect miniatures
of the different tribes and nations,
and the respective classes and casts
amongst them are to be found; fig
ures about one foot high, with their
costumes (if any worn in their coun
try,) collections of utensils in use for
house management, their arms, coin,
patents of their dwellings, their
ships, their mode of worship with
numerous complete outfits from
places of worship. In fact the for
eign traveler has no need to venture
abroad he can see the sights right
in these halls he can study all he
wants.
Amongst the collection of oil
paiatings, which are very extensive
and many in number, can be found
the masters of that art represented
by some of the finest works in exis
tence. The Exposition of Fine Arts of the
German Empire, held now in the
Crystal Palace here is, I am told, the
grandest affair of that kind ever got
ten up. I do not mean to say that it
should be grander than the Phila
delphia Exposition, but in fine arts it
will excell anything ever brought
out
It has been largely patronized by
some of the Protestants who have
bought liberally.
In calling it an Exposition of Fine
Arts, I do not mean to say that
paintings, scnlpture and such are
only to be seen; it really would ap
pear to me that the fine works of
many trades are represented there
(not machinery, for there is no room
in tne ouuaing,j in otner words a
collection of works of luxury, be
thev in the manufacture of furniture,
'tapestry, China-ware, castings, man-
ufacture of clocks, paintings, sculp
ture, weaving of silks and wool goods,
mosaic work, glass-painting, car-
'riaee-making, photographic, copper
andnteel plate work, bronze casting,
iewelers worK, artinciai nowers, lan
cv leather work, cutlery, firearms, in
fact of all these and many others the
" finest and costliest work to be found,
paintings and sculpture work for
twenty thousand dollars one job,
and a neat one it was. Attractive
above all, to me, was the wood work
-"from Tyrol,
Munic, as a city, pleases me very
much. The cleanliness and the qoiet
. ness is far more agreeable than the
noise and confusion of Vienna.
I am told that this Country is in
verv prosperous condition suppose
hat the Government got a naa share
.
of the French money as their reward
in assisting Prussia to conquer that
nation.
The military, ot winch there arc
only seven or eight thousand here,
well uniformed, and a more robust,
healthier set of men would be hard
to find, and they can fight (the last
war has shown it )
The large Sedan Festival, last Sat
urday, Sept 2d, was quite an affair.
Flags, white, blue, "the Bavarian
flae." and the German flnr, hung
from hundreds of houses and grand
revue by the military, was the order
of the dav. In the evening mass
meeting of the citizens and oration
by the Mayor, in which the dis
patches sent by Emperor "William to
his wife m Berlin on the day or tne
surrender were read, and great joy
and excitement evinced after tne
speech bv the masses.
'I paid a visit to the Royal Palace,
where the public has admission one
hour in a day, only under the guid
ance of an usherer. Owing to an us
ual large crowd of visitors, upwards
of two hundred, I did not enjoy the
sights so well one never can when
there are too many; but, withal, I
could not but admire the elegant and
artistic interior arrangements. What
a patience and what money such a
work must cost!
In two of the large rooms adjoin
ing the ball rooms are a collection of
life size oil paintings of the hand
somest women living in Europe, at
the home of King Ludwig; some of
these girls of low rank but extreme
beauty, which attracted the atten
tion of the King, who had the paint
ings made. And well may they at
tract any Kin?, or anv other man's
attention, if the pictures arc true.
Some of them are living now here,
the wives of respected citizens; oth
ers have since .died, and others again
are ranking amongst the highest no
bility on the continent
On top of the front post ot the
Royal Palace is the Winter Garden
of the King, where no one is permit
ted to enter.
I am told that a fair-sized little
lake, with pleasure boats, etc., etc.,
are there, where the lung spends
hours amongst his plants and enri
osities. In summer time he is never
in the city, (taking, suppose, a .pat
tern from D. S. A,) but spends most
his time in. the mountains, on one or
the other of the manj- country villas
he owns.
It is a nice thing to be King; I have
to be satisfied with humming the old
song, "King of the Sea."
I will now close for the present.
I am again getting ready to shift
my quarters towards tne dear old
home and stamping ground, Switzer
land, where I once enjoyed the easy
and careless days of sweet sixteen,
and when I get through there with
my short visit, I will hurry towards
the fashionable centre, Paris, and
with not too long a stay, wend my
way towards my dear new home.
Truly yours,
LOUIS BAER.

A NIGHT OF TERROR.
"Mrs. Discomb." said I, one even
ing, to a middle-aged lady with
whom I was spending an hour in
pleasant conversation, "you appear
to have met with manv adventures
in vour voungcr dav3. You relate a
story so well, that I never tire lis
teningtovou: so. if there has been
an3' thriliing episode in your life
that I have not as yet nearo, x
should be pleased to have you narrate
it, and I can assure you tuat i snail
be a most attentive listener.
"I'm afraid vou're a great flatter
er, Mr. Williamson, sue repueii.
"However." she added, "I will com
ply with your request, for a startling
event recurs to my mind at tnis mo
ment
"Twenty years ago, my husband
was a dealer in jewelry, and also in
most articles of great value. He
traveled almost incessantly, and
stopped but a short time in eaeh
city or town. I could not bear to
be parted from him for months at a
time, so I always accompanied him
in his wanderings, and endured many
hardships and dangers for the sake
of always being with him. There
were not many railroads in those
days; they were 'like angels' visits
few and far between.'
"Late in the summer of 1852, we
were in New Orleans; he had finish
ed his business there, and was ready
to leave. On making inquiries he
found that there would be no vessel
for Savannah, our next stopping
place, till the end of the following
month, so he decided to take the
overland route.
"Well, we got as far as Opelaka,
Georgia, without meeting with any
very scnou3 annoyance or danger.
Opelaka, at that period, was little
more than a village, inhabited by
half-breed Indians, miserable treach
erous rascals, and a few whites.
Every two weeks a stage left Ope
laka for Griffin, the terminus of the
Railroad from Savannah. We got
there in time for the stage, but,
through the stupid obstinacy of my
husband we were left behind in that
miserable place. He had three
trunks filled with valuable goods,
and the stage driver wanted ten dol
lars more than my husband had ever
paid anybody else that is, for an
equal distance for carrying them to
Griflin.
'George, give him what he asks,'
rather than stay in this wretched
village for weeks. If we remain here,
we will be murdered and robbed by
those villainous looking Indians.'
"'Annie,' he replied, 'I won t pay
such exorbitant charges to that
scoundrel, no, not it we have to stop
in this place for a month by refusing
to do so.
"Well, as I said before, the stage
left without us, for the driver :efus-
cd to take the trunks for less tliau
he demanded.
"There was a squalid-looking ho
tel tavern rather in the village,
kept by a dirt', ruffianly-appearing
half breed,, which my husband and I
entered on the departure of the stage.
"'Cau we get a team to take our
trunks and ourselves to Griffin f
asked nryhuaband of the host.
" 'The roads are in very oaci con
dition, and you couldn't get more
than five miles from here this after
noon, and you'd have to stop at a
house where a man was murdered
last week for two dollars. You'd
better stop here to-night; I'll make
you as comfortable as I can," he re
plied.
" 'Well, then, l guess we n stay
here till to-morrow morning,' observ
ed my husband.
"The host'went to prepare a room
for us, and as he left the apartment a
white man stepped up to my husband
and said:
" 'Mister, you'd better not stay in
this shebang to-night, for you'll sure
ly get murdered if you do. There
were five men killed and robbed in
this ranch within the last two
months. I'm a teamster, and I'll
take you to Griffin if you want me
to.'
" 'A very pleasant prospect, in
deed,' said George. 'If we stay here
we re likely to have our throats cut,
so he tells us; and, if we go on
this afternoon, and stop at the old
tavern over night, mine host says
that the same delightful fate will
await us there. Between the two
evils choose the least; but confound
the whole affair! I don't know
which is the least My friend,' he
added, turning to the teamster, 'reck
on we'll remain here to-night Be
ready to start early to morrow morn
ing at daylight'
'If you and your wife isn t as
dead as a door nail, you mean to say,
mister,' said the teamster, with a
grin, as he walked away.
"'Good heayens, lieorgcr l cried,
when safe within the apartment that
we had been conducted to by the
host; 'we'll be murdered, and only
because you acted like an obstinate
mule,' and then 1 burst into tears.
" 'My dear, he replied, 'be a phi
losopher, and make the best of our
fehcitious situation. I here is one
consolation that is, if our throats
are cut we shall have the blessed
privilege of dying in each other's

" 'George,' 1 sobbed, 'how can you
be so hartless as to joke when we are
in such great danger of our lives?
If vou d had any consideration for
my comfort and my safety, you'd
have given the stage driver what he
asked. I shall nevei forgive you for
acting so no, not as long as I live.'
" 'Well, perhaps that won't be very
long; so you'd better not treasure up
any harsh feeling against me, for if
you should happen to die suddenly,
without having pardoned me, your
soul wouldn't rest in peace.'
"I made no reply, for I saw that he
was very anxious, and was trying to
cheer me up by making light of the
situation.
"About six. o'clock the host
brought us some supper, which we
partook of sparingly, for we were in
humor for eating. At nine o'clock
George ordered two milk punches,
When the host had brought them,
and deposited the tray on the table,
and left the room, my husband cau
tiously tasted and smelled the con
tents of one of the glasses.
" This punch contains drug3,' ho
said; 'we have, indeed, got into a
murderer's den.'
"The windows.were both shutter-
less, and our room was not more than
feet from the ground. It was a
lovely, clear, moonlight night, and we
could see those treacherous half-
breeds standing outside, gazing np
into our apartment and looking as

lives.
" 'It's a slight consolation to know
that you have your pistols with which
defend us, if we are attacked by
these scoundrels," said I.
"Unluckily for us, as it happens, I
placed them in my trunk yesterday
mistake, and the trunks are down
stairs. I should have had them
brought no here, but I did not wish
do so, as I thought it might cause
tavern-keeper to think that we
suspected he would rob us if he got
opportunity.
" 'Oh ! 1 cried, 'then we shall have

What need you to have cared
the man's suspicious as long as
had something to defend our
selves. Oh, George! you have acted
rashly.'
" 'My dear Annie, we vc got into a
scrape, and now we must get out of
as best we can. We must put our
in luck, and hope we shall es
bodily harm.'
" 'Not in luck, George, bnt m uoa,"
solemnly replied.
"Our conversation had been car
on in whispers, for we were
afraid of being overheard. About
twelve o'clock the tavern-keeper
knocked at our door and asked:
you asleep, and is there any
thing you wish to have brought to
My husband answered in the
negative. Three hours elapsed, wnen
same question was repeated.
George made no reply, but with a
slender, though heavy stick of wood
his up raised hands, stood ucar
door, readj to attack the first
person who entered. I lay, trem
bling in an agony of fear, stretehed
the bed. The suspense was
awful, and I was almost crazed with
terror.
"My eyes were fastened on the
and husband, who statue like.;
stood beside it. The door had
neither lock nor bolt, so anybody
could enter the room easily. Sud
denly 1 perceived it move slightly,
by degrees it opened wide
enough to permit a man to come in.
my great horror I saw through
aperture made by the opening oi
door, the tavern keeper, and in
right hand he clutched a bowie
knife. He thrust in his head cau
tiously, and as he did so, my bus
band struck him a heavy blow with
rude-weapon. The wretch with
out giving vent to a cry or even a
groan, fell to the floor like a dead
weight
"'You've killed him, George,' I
cried, though hardly above a whis
per. "'No, hes only stunned. Just
hand me that cord lying on the ta
and I'll pinion his arms so that
won t be able to give us any
trouble when ho regains his senses.'
"I obeyed my husband's order, and
quickly bound the villain's arms

for him to move when he came to.
the first sign of consciousness that
showed, George gagged him, and
carried him to a large closet
placed him in it, and closed the
door.
" 'At daylight' said George, 'the
teamster will be here, but few peo
ple will be up and about and we
be able to leave quietly. If
fellow had had any accomplices
would have brought them with
he has no wife, so the people
not miss him until long after
are gone. If they knew how
ve treatel him, xreu have the
whole tribe at our heels, and they
would make short work of killing us
dividing the spoils, I fear. Once
of this detestible place and we
safe.'
"Daylight at last came, though the
seemed long before it did, and
never before or since have I hailed
first gleam of light in the eastern
horizon with greater joy. The team
ster soon made his appearance, ray
hushand helped him to put his
trunks on hi3 cart, and we were
shortly driving rapidly toward Grif-
which place we reached in two
days, and without meeting with any
other adventure.
"So yon see, Mr. Williamson' she
said, in conclusion, "my life thus far
numbered at least one thrilling
experience. I can afford to laugh at
perils and fears of that terrible
night but it is not likely that'I shall
ever forget it or them as long as I
live."

A Queer Marriage Stipulation.
[From the Camden Herald.]
Somo time in August last an aged
man named John Humphrey died in
Appietonj ale., aged about eighty
three veirs. He was universally
known aa very miserly man, and it
was supposed he had more or less
hard money secreted about the prerai
ses of his homestead. Eight years
ago he contracted with Samuel Rip
ley to take his farm and provide a
support for himself and wife, during
their lives Mr. Ripley, feeling sat
isfied that there must be money some
where secreted, immediately after the
death of the old gentlemen began a
vigorous search, for the supposed
treasures, and was liberally reward
ed for the search by finding secrete"
in an. old. desk two sacks filled with
double eagles of gold, ($20 each),
to the amount of $1,300 in each sack.
There was also found iu an old sink,
laid away in an unoccupied closet
other parcels- filled with silver coins,
many oft them-of ancient date, and
mostly foreign com, among them
many five-franc pieces (an old
French coin) and also Mexican dol
lare and Spanish coin.
I learned from good authority that
Mr. Humphrey denied himself and
wife even the comforts of life in or
der to gratify his miserly disposition
to hoard np his earnings and savings.
I also learned as related by Mr. Hum
phrey, that he first saw his wife in a
store trying to drive a very sharp
trade with the merchant, and discov
ering such a sharp, shrewd, business
tact, that he said to himself, "That's
the girl for me, and immediately be
gan cultivating an intimacy with her
that resulted iu a marriage union of
their efforts to get and hoard their
earnings, and, no doubt in her Jays
of consciousness, she knew where
these treasures wore secreted. It is
said that, in their marriage contract,
many stipulations were made and
agreed to on both sides, one of which
was, "never to boil meat that could
be fried."
I Can't Help It.
That is what Harry Day always
said when he was told of any of the
bad habits: "I can t help it; " which
really mean't "I don't wisli to help
it, because we know well enougli
that wo can every one of us "help"
doingwrong if we try in the right
way.
Once Harry came upon an old
story in a worn' soiled book which he
routed out of a chest in the lumber
closet and this story set him think
ing, as it may perhaps some other
young folks thinking why it is nec
essary to resist what is bad in its
earliest beginning.
. .T 'l 1 ' I t.l t
mit who had left the busy world for a
cell in the desert, and was reputed
to be learned and wise.
"Many people used to visit the
lonely man that they might receive
his advice, and once a youth came to
him who begged to stay with him for
a while for his pupil.
"The hermit consented, and the
first clay he led his companion into a
small wood near to their humble
dwelling. Looking round, he point
ed to a very young oak tree just
shooting from the ground.
"'Pull up that sapling from the
root,' said ho to his pupil, who obey
ed without any difficulty. They
went on a little farther, and the old
man pointed to another tree, but also
a young one whose roots stuck deep
er. This was not so easy to pull up
as the first had been, but with sev
eral efforts it was accomplished.
"The third had grown quite tall
and strong, so that the youth was a
longtime before he could tear it up;
but when his master pointed to a
fourth, which was still larger and
stronger, he found that, try as he
might it was impassible to move it
" 'Now, remember and take heed to
what you have seen,' said the her
mit "The bad habit3 and passions
of men are just like those trec3 of
the wood. When young and tender
they may be easily overcome, but let
them once gain firm root in your soul,
and no human strength is sufficient
to get rid of them. Watch over
your heart, and do not wait until
j'our faults and passions have grown
strong before j'ou try to uproot
them.'"
That was the end of the story but,
as I have said, I set Harry Day
thinking, and when "I can't help it
was rising "to his lips, he was
ashamed to utter it So he set him
self to the work of mastering his
temper, his idleness and all that con
science told him was amiss. Though
this is work that can not be done
within an hour or a day or even a
year, it will be effected at last (per
haps after many failures) by prayer
and by perseverance; nay, it must
be done unless we wish to become
the servants and the slaves of sin.
Carl Schcrz confirms the general
report that the Republicans have
been gaining ground in Ohio and In
diana during the past few weeks.
He was in West Virginia, last week,
and said to a reporter of the Par-
kersburg Journal: "If Hayes gains
ground as rapidly within the next
two weeks as he has during the past
two weeks, he will carry every
Northern State. The revolution has
been thoroughly complete and rapid.
I consider Ohio and Indiana sure
for the Republicans in October, and
there is not a State in the Union
more certain to cast her Electoral
vote for Hayes than New York. I
can see nothing but certainty for
defeat for Tilden."
Hayes sure
"Sambo, is your master a good
farmer?' "Oh, yes, massa fustrate
farmer he make3 two crops in one
year." How is that, Sambo?' "Why,
he sells all his hay in de fall and
make money once; den in de spring
he Bells de hides od ue cauie aas cue
for want ob de hay, and makes
money twice."-Florida Sun,
