Foreign Correspondence

IHSBEÜCK, IN TyEOL, Austria, ) August ;iO, 1872. l F rom Nureinberg wo took the route by way of that gooi! old city Augsburg, whose '::iüu' i iL'.ure extensively known by its lbrining tli; prefix to Melancthon'ö Mionoftaith than i'or iiught elso, though in many othei respeoli it is acit.y very interesing indeed to the eurious : r. Starting frota N. at 1.45 P. M., routo by rail passes through a región of very lirht soil and indifferent crops, very different indeed from thoso we saw in Wurtemberg, which adjoins Bavaria on tbo west. The frequent passing cf tho train BCFO88 Ü: Wornitz reminded us of our distant Hurón. A sotero thunder storm and strong wind swept over the country just as we were crossingtbo long bridge over the Danubc, at Donanworth, and preventod a distinct viow of tho bistorical Blenheim, whose cburch tuwers were visible from tho cars. Thero is little in the appearanoe oí old battle fields, over wliich the plow has annually turned its i'urrows for many years, and grein erops are peacefully waving, that instinetively fitirs the warrior blood within us, yet wbo cun conüciously look upon lluse tir.ice ensailguined plains upon our right, witb tho fiimous names of Prince Eugont', the Duke of Marlborough, and Marshal Vilhirs recalled to mind, or upon that other on our left, only a few miles further on, wbere the old ehurch of Eain on the river Leen reeallsthoseevengreater names, Oustavus Adolphus. and the venerable but fftted Tilly, without feeling, momentarUy at least, as if these world-renowned actors in somo of Eugreatest tragedies were once moro enactiijg tbeir parts upon tho plains around us. lt was nearly dark when we arrived at Augsburg and the storm souiewhat abated, but it made us teel glad when, after our ride of 01) miles, we were safely landed at " The Traube," in tliu ünest portion of the city. After an early broakfast at our rooms we bogan the day's work. Augsburg is a noat and rathor attractio city of nearly 60,000 inhabitiiuts ; but it does not present tho sue commercial activity in modern times that it did about two centuries ago, when tho splendor of its Imperial Uourt and the trade then oarried on between Northern Gormany and It.aly gave i's citizens almost princely wealtbj and made the city the most powerful in this part of tho Empire of Charles tho Dth. The magnificence which prevailcd at that period is still ïblo, to soine extent, in tho fudcd frescoes whioh aro yet k be secn, tnote orlcssdistinctly sccording to tho exposuro, covermg tlio fronts of tho moro prominent private as woll as public buildings along the principal streeta. This practico of ornamonting the exterior of buildings with frescoos provails, to souift fxtent, all over this part of Qermany, bnt it is generally conlined to representations of the Virgin and child or sorae simple religioup subject. In A. this art was made to play a inuch feoore important part in exterior docoration. Elabórale pictures, upon evory varioty of subjects and of the most ambitious designs, upon which the most ekillful urtisls rivaled Oiich other and large sums were expended, were spread out until nearly every availablo foot ot space was occupied and tho street appeared one long picture gallcry. ïhese pic tures havo not in general boon restorcd and present a singular medley now, as tho curious cyo of the stranger catches a glinipse of palts of tho once perfect figuro or design still fresh as ever, whilo other portions will be nearly or quite faded out. Here, a head without a body, - there, othor raembers apparently lost bj their proper owner; here, onc-half of a once biawtiful landscape, - thero a mere resemblance of some former proud pecimen of genuino nrt. At the present time there is but ono proper exaaiple of this former peculiar glovy of Aujisbarg. Tho iinii'.ense front of the Fugger houso- fully as large as Hill's Opera House in Aun Arbor would be if extended to the Qreg ory House cornor - hai been restored, and tho whole ooloring and dosign is quito perfect and I niay say boautiful. Once tho liothschilds of their day, the iaiiiily of Fugga is ovusi yot posseased of prinoely We&ltb, aud this docoration of their rcsidciice is no daub. Tho upper and principal fvescoes present vnrious inoidents in the history of tho Emporor Maximillian, in which gome members of tho í'amily alto figared, oven at that early day, - tho figures oí' mon and horses !iiü! of Ufo size. Balow, and oocupying tho spaco botween the 2d and .'Jd stories, is (i norrower fresco, giving in itg long, continuous liue evory concoivablo forra of oooupation and amusement of happy childhood, tho children being represonted in tho forra of beautiful cherubs. I li.ive given moro apace. than I intended to this chnracteristic of the city, but I could not well do otherwise. Passing :ilong MMKraillian Strassoand somo of the principal squares of tho oity, ouo ei'ificarcoly fail to admiro the artis,ic and beautiful fountains, in whiob a very laudable prido has ovidently been aken. For the r-j ti;;s of any country there is no lnxury which may be ! uted for water; and as obít-cír1 to 'y, whtkt can be more nttrnitive than the i over-running streatn or graoeful spray hat rippk'S iu tho basin of a ■well-doeigued fountain ? One of theso wo I arly admirod, was callod tho Mcreury "ountaiu, after the principal figure i which orowned the top, ptrhaps 16 feét ' ibove the streef. About tho lower pi;rion and at the corners wore various othr appropriate 'figures. Another was the lercales, whosc Btfong and sinowy frume ittd stood many long years performing a abor greater and noblor fnr than the wel ve which have given him so much roíoffii. 'i'hiri a!.so had a iitUngdippoSMiim of other figures gronpoj aboat it. Jioth were of bronze and by the distinguished artit De Vries, about tho ond of the 17th centiirv. Tlie Hatlihaus bns a very noble facado, ereotüd in 1H20, about tho time our Pilrim fathera were doubtfully laying the comer stono of our great Bmpire in tho "West. It is the Golden Hall, however, which "onstitutct; tlit; grcatost attractior. I I :i vcry Bpitcioua room upon the 2d loor, 2.J feet in height und well lighted, and is by far the most boautiful it has jeen pWsuro to inspeet. The entire room is finished iu nutive woods, iu the 'orm of largo panels covering the cciling overhead ami the sides. Euch panul overhead furnishes tho spncp lor a beauti'ully executed fresco, of some symbolic or listorical significancc, while those of the Idea are fillod with smaller pioturea or 'reseoes. The Hall dorives ita name frora hat jiídioious use of gilding upon the anel bordere, ■which amply jnstifies the appellation, whilo it is not so extensive as o lesve an imprcssion of too much gaudiness or display. The ceiling being suplorted from above leaves the entire hall unobatructod by columus, and ís a most itting place for coronations and other rcat occasions, for which only it was deignod. Various object" of inferior intrest are to bo seen in odjoining rooms, ind in the vestibule bolow is a formida)lo array of tho busts of Itoman Emperors, from Cicsar to Otho. In various vays the fact of tho Roman origin of the ïity is exbibitcd. One of the fountains 'orms a statue of Augustus, and il largo )ino cone of bronze, the einblem of lome in tlie timo of Auguntuf=, is inserted conspiouottsly in the pedimont of the athhaus. The Oathedral, consecrated in 100G, is not at all improving in appearance, but, M is generally the case in these moro imjortant old churchos, the portak are fïnshed with a very deep rocess, rapidly increasing in size outwardly and arched overhead with quadrnple rows, or even more, of well exeouted figures of the ipostles, saints and angels. The metallic door of one of the aislos 5iaá a very ancient and complicated bas' -relief represonation of Adam and Eve, the serpent entaurs and other dovices. The int'-rior iresents a remsrkablo absence of real cathcdral impri , arising from the manuer in which the otherwiso largo space is broken up by .mail erections and by a largo Ecreen partition, which may ïave the (apparontly designed) effact of allowing tho stranger to wander curiousy about without disturbing the services, ;mt also dfitraCta iinich from its primary ircliitectural purpose. The 'Wtar piceos and monuinonts aro inany of tïiem wor;hy of inspection, but tho paintiftgs are most of them of no great merit. One, representiiig the delivery of Viemia from tho Turks, does not suggust ftny remaikable adaptation to church adorntnent. To tho general reader and eccleeiasticiil student Augsburg will alwtiys be noted as the place where Charles V. hold thoso fomous diets of 1630, 1648 and 1.:, in which, undor the impulse of the Iioformatlon, a roligioïls peace wa iiually establisbed betwean thu protestant princos and tho State. We took a stroll througii tho ITuggcrei a distinct qoartet in the midst of Augsburg, luid out in 1616 by Hans Jacob, the founder of tho fftmily Fuggcr. It is closed by its own gates and built up with some fifty small eizcd buildings, for occupancy by poor people, at nominal rent. Evërything appeared very neat and comfortable, oearïy all had small pots of flowers in the windowg, and the fortúnate number who seouro possession of theso tenements anrely have desirsble homes. The streete were paved bot did not appoar to bo used niuch, f at all, by whooled vehicles. It did not accommodate so many ts great flvo-gtoTy, barrack-looking tenement houses would have done, but how incompiirably superior was tho coüdition of the smaller numbor, who here had all the privacy and control which individual ownerehip could givo. Water from the Lcch and Wertach is conducted in small, sv.iltly flowing chanuels across the city, and is much used for driving tlio i Ltt.ichinery of inills awd workshops, but ! the proximity of' Munich, with its artificiul advantagos, sui'ius to leavo Augsburg to a positión of second rate imporisnee, as nomparcd with its greut act'vitj wlion nu Intpciiul city, in tho lOth and 17th centurics. But I must close thiu lotter, lcaving Munich for my next. Yours, over, J. M.

ÏN8BBTJCK, 15 ÏYUOI,, AT7BTRIA, ) Hepïemuek u, W7JL i ; 1Ly Dkau Poxd : Tho routo froin Augsburg to Munioli is niouotonous and uiiintorcsting. Au unvarying plain, rich in peat and ltttle sle; : evon tho i -ivers we crossed and saw, thg Lech, tho Amper, and tho Wurm, could not affaid tbose beautiofl of wooded bank or s welling lawn, which are generally Touohsafod tlio humbloet streams. In fuct, the situation of Munich is so decidedly miiutorosting as to its natural eurroundings, that without somo previous i information on the sulijcct the toa : would bo rush indeed to anticípate onetenth part of the attractions, with which i royal patronage, aided by its well-selooted beneficiarles í'roia tho world ot Taste and Art, hr s-i g nerooaly enriched it. Munich is situatod upon tho IsSff (fftmiliar to all youthtul deciaimarh), luis tt population of about 17ó,OOü, of whichsc:irce!y one-tenth are protestants, the rvi Lenoet of tbü strong prepouderanco of Cntholicisiu bcing visil)i everywhere - tl.i' iigin bting the espocial jatroDeR.-i of tho city. Notwithatanding it occupics suoh au extensive plein, moist ouough to fooilitete the formotion of poat, it hoa uu altitud of orar 1,700 feot, wliich gives it a vi.iy agreeable air, even in the uiidsunmior nionth, but does not próvido it with good water nor givu it h dosirablo reputation for health. No trarelor oen leave the vory unprutending railroad depot, and passing bcnoath the Carlsthor enter its busy streets, where all is buetle and tho crowd of its proper population is largely.intof mixed with the evident ists nnd strangers, without a speody oouolusion thiit he ie in a place of considerable importance. This improssion in oar case wiis doubtless much enhanced by the animal fair, which with its hundreds of booths oceupied the open spaoo northwüst of Carlspktz, roar the depot, and by tho largo Bombera ílocking to the four hundredth annivorsary of tho founding of tho University, which ivaR to begtfl July 3Oth and oceupy tho whole week. It is not for its antiquity that Munich is worthy of particular notice, though a brief mention of two or throe of its older churches will not be improper. The Frauenkirchc is tho oathodral of this Archbishcpric. Without any pretonskms to architectural eleganco, it lacks the completion of its two towers, alroady 345 fcot high, to give it any suitablo outward pre-eminence over its neighbors. The only monument of noto is that oreeted in lí"2 to the Einperor Lcwis, especially designated " the Bavarian," who died in 1347. It oceupits a space in the nave, about two-thirds tho distance toward the choir, and being with its deroíationK ünd kneeling figures about six feet wide by eight or more in length and as much as eight in height, of dnrk marble and bronzo, it forms a vory cónspicuous object in this central position. Hanging suspended at fulí length frora its stuff, wiiich projeets horizontally and is about twenty fcet high, frora one of the pillars of the roavo, is a Turkish tíag, captured at Belgrado in 1G8H, the or.ly instaneo we have'as yot seen of this kind of church decoralion. Tho ecurt church and tbertffoni tho fishionablc church, where the classic musió is rendered by a full band of orchestrial instrumants aided by tho organ and the best voiers in the city, at 0 A. M., and at 11 A. M. military music by a military 1mnd, is tho St. Michad, erected in los;), and whosí towering dome forma tho distinguishingf feature of its exterior. The most interesting object insido is the monument to Eugene Beauharnais, son of the Empress Josrphine. It oceupics tho end of one of tïio trafisopf?, and is a very fine specimen of art, as woll as a noble tribute to her husband's momory, erected by his widow, tho daughter of King Louis. The principal figuro is a life size statuo of Eugene, holding a lnurol, while Ihc musu of Ilistory, gracofully seated near his left, is inscribing his name uijon the tableta, and on his right are tho genie of death aud iinmortiiüty. Above thegroup is the motto of Eugeno, ' JJinineiir et Fitrti'e." It whs oxeouted jy Schwimthnler in 1851, of beautii'ul [talian marble. It is iu its more modrrn improvements and i(s various urt collections tbat the trus glory of Munich is to be found. It may bo said, and aj)pearances will certainly corroberate tho remark, that tho city of to-day, whose inagniíicont avenueí nre lined witii palatial Bpecimensof nearly all that is beautiful in architecture, and at the samo timo are ndorncd with the nobleRt troasures of monumental nrt, whose collections aro va3t storehonses of the Beautifal, and whoso Englisli (Ja-rden is as great a trinmpn of skillful simplicity of arrangement as Central Park is of lavish feipenditure, is almost wholly the growth of tho present century. What first strikes tho stranger npon a survey of the city is the groat width of tho streets and sidewalks, and the freshness of everything as comparcd with other Europetm cities, ezeépt, j)t:rliups, Slultgiirt. ïhon folluws the impiessionthat 'J-.ci: isamuch largor proportiou of immense public and private building?, with fronts in a much more tastcful style, tlutn is usual ; and from the firat a belief that consf-mtly guther8 confirnmtiou, that we are In a city where ort and artists have had a most genorous recognitinn. To speak in detail of all the various attractions which mako a ten daya' vieit seeiu uil too ghort Svr such a city, wuuld bo too prblis for the design of thcKü hasty sketches, and ono must needs bü so brief and desultory in the niention of so inany thius wit hin the oompass ot' n letter, that tho reader inay f uil to sharo in the writef'a professed onjoymeut. Tho plan of daily opuiationg we adopted was to visit those plaoefl and colleetions which vore open betireon oertain hours duily, juat as qften aa we could mako it ctmvenit'iif', intersperaiDg other siïht and escuvsions as or d:tanco utight requiro. One ot' our tirst visits was to the old Pinakothfck. As yet we had only Boen .sniall gallcriea of religieus picturos or ocCiisioual singlo picïitres ot' wmn local celebrity, und as wo approached tin': two gre-fi ' Repositorie8 of piotnres" (for tin: old and ncw "Pinakotheks" stand upon opposite sidee of Therasiefl Sta though sornu oonsiderable unoccupied spaco lies between tbom), we f( It tuut a now worhl wns lying within thoso noble hnl!s. The building is of the Rsnaisance stylo, rvdovnod on iha south sido by the Btataee of twenty-four celobratod painters, by Sohwantholer. Some idea of the extent of thia colleCtion may bo formod froni ; ut that here are ovev 1,300 pint':. y by the old mastera of the Prenob, Dutoh and Italian schools, arrangod in niao largo saloons, perhaps avernging l'1 by 50 1% ■ ■ t , with lefty ceiliii ;k tnd lighted frora aUovo, andtwentythrrn o:ibinots, about 16 feet square, üghtedirom the louth eidt1. Of course these piotures aro not ot' jual marit, and pTobably not tw vüitora wonld ogree oven apon ny pinplc dozen OS tho best, but thore is a satisfaction in strolling Leüarely along, and gazing hour ufter hour pon those tlndoubted origir'.ii!' of ■ome of tho mot skilliul painten tho world haa known, b-teti whüe not nlfogi'ther pléased with the particular pioturc oí' the renowned artist ná thto is also a satiefiction scarcely les?, in gralifyiv.g cur individual i?te by drinking in with real porsonal delight the boauty of some pieture that pleases us, oven though the skillftil hand that mado it has failed to win a world's applause. One entire saloou was ñlled with cight of the large pictures of Rubens, his Liist Judgruont bcing 19 by ló feet. We (lid not iind the coloring of his works so high bs the descriptions -vvo had read lod ub to anticípate, His use of color, while perecptibly more froe than inost of tho ei li l.ratod artista, was yet so skillfut und judieious that it never bccamo glnring. But aomo of his ei m pier designs afforded mueh more pleasnre than these liko "The Last Judgment," "The Condi-nuuition of Sinnors," &c, in which his pencil so inuch delighted to revel, or his allegorical pictures. Tho portraits by Bembranclt áud by Yandyke wtre in nearly every instance remnrkably fino, mul wonld attruct attention even if the artist's name wfia not known. Tho po rtraits und pictures by Durer wero generally most excellent in ;oiiiposition and color : this may also bo said of Hulbeiu the eider. The pictures by Temer, of which there were many, wero generally small and the subjeets wery peculiar : inonkeys, peasants, tavern and rustió scènes of a humorous nature, entored into most of them, and though grcatly prized by tho connoisseur would not be the choice of the many. The saloon devoted to the French and Spiinifh masters containcd the renowned " Beggar Boys," by Murillo, as well as several other line specimens of tlis artist, whoBO pictures nover fail to teil their own story und to pJease. Of the many beautiful pictures by Italian masters no description can be attompted. The namee of Titian, liaphaol, Dominichino, Paul Yoronose, Tintbretto, Cario Dolci, Leonardo de Vinci, l'erugino, and others oqually ronownt'd, must give some idea of the troasurfis hcre amassed. Thero is always something so exquisitely beautiful ia tho pictures of Curio Dolei and Guido líeiú that they always please, oven if but :v head alono is depictod. Genorally, )ioweYtr, these pictures by the most celebratcd artists derive their beau ty, loss from t!:i'ir high finish and porfection of minuto details, than from certain boldneea and freedora of design, and their WOU derf ui expressiveness in general elfoct. As mere ornamenta for tho parlor, thcre aro pictures by Kaphael, bitnself, which would scarcely h@ Belucted, and yet to these gallenfis they are almost prieekss. While there are tbvr thingB more enjoyable than the delioioug encbantment of these cndless picture gallcries, thero is nothing so nnsatirfaototy ns the attciupt to communicatu it by descrijition. Before leaving this building meiition phould bo made of tiin beautiful frescoea aftcr designs by Cornelim, tho most celébrate d of Germán artists in this departniont. Tliey illustrato in twentyfive sections, extcncling theeutire length of tho building, the history of painting in tho mídale ages. The figures, lifosizo, of the most noted puinters of their respective Bchools are introduced, and leading incidente in thtir lives. Tho cabinots of engravings and drawings, as algo that of Orc('k und Etruscan vases, are very valuablo and extensive, and to tho student of Art and its history very intor!sting, - but for enrgory inspeotion are as unsatisfnetory as a passing glance at the fuli siielvcs of a large library. A day fpent in tho Bavarinn Xational ; afforded us ènjoyment of a different kind, i)iit not lessinteresting. The The sligbt refcrence given in tho guido book to this coilection may very possibly lead Bome to underrrtfo its re-al valne, for, in fact, it is ono of tho most extensive and varied liepositions of tape oarvings, niosaics, objocts of peculiar workmanship - cf antique furnituro, tablo-wnro and personal adornmonts ouco in actual use ; raementoea of diëtinguished persons, beautiful oabineta and ingenious mechaöióal inventions, as also of a greal variety of anoient and modern guns, and curious objects of evory kind and mimi countries A vory good copy of Fischor's oelebrated St. 8cbaiau3monumoat remburg is nlso th'c. Tattoird üagi and oannon, muoh marrcdby the impact of bftlls düfing ttte recent French war, and tbc now noted initmilouso also, ara tiioro to be sean. Wo visited the " Xew Pinakothelr," as wo did the olil, ai aften as wo could mtike it convonient. Uructcd more recontly than tlio latter, it is devoted to pictures of tlie preecnt oentury. Vino fresoon, after designs by Saulbaoh, occupy thü north bi Je and command tha attcntion while approaching the building. The interior hsi" ix central lurgo saloons, lighted from above ; fivu saloons not eo largo, lighted f rom the'south si'lt , and fourtocju cubinets upon the north ; and all aro storcd with treusuics ui' modern art, scareoly loss attractive than tho old masters we had before soen. And even here aro ñames which " tho world -will not willingly let dif.-,"- Kuulbach, Piloty, Achcnbuch, Hoss, Overbtjpk, Eottman, Sohadow, Wükic, Schrandolph, ; and imuiy othors with nearly eqial claims, have specimens of their sküi here, i comrnand adrairation and wil! con tinuo to enlarge theil reputation. A picture of tho "Delugo" by Schorn, 18 by 25 feot iu size, though not èfatireli flnished before the artkt's doath in 1850, ono of thopo productions which novor tires, nuil but ths finishing touches of tne Bamo skillful hand to raako it take rank with tho very highest. Kauibfrcb's " Doutrnotion of Jerusalom" is also n picturo of wonderful spirit and expression. But it ík quite impossiblo to enumornto all that was ploasing whcro tlie gr. t fieation ■was so constant and various. A sorics of Greck landscapes by Itottmnn w ;re lisplayed to great advantago by ollowing tho light from nbove to fall ujjon an interior rooíing, under which the visitor stood, and whioh, extending to within a few feot of tho upper portion of tho pictures, cast the light thus concentrated or directed, rather, full opon thciu. Xho collcction of paintings on porceiain, ccfntainod in two roorus adjoining tho entrance hall, is highly iutoresting frora tho very great beauty of this etyle of painting, when well dono. Thesu paintings aro miniaturc copies of all tho more important pictures in the " ek." Bendes their intrinsic beauty ag picturos, tlio Jnii?uto accurary o the copying of even the largest, withia such small compasa, is really wonderful. This iepartment of art receivus groat enoouragemout from its practical apj'lioaticu in ;he lloyal manufactories at D rusden and fleewhore, and fow places atford a inore agroeable ocenpation for leÚUTti hour hun a visit at the rooms of tho agents of these Dresden wares at Frankfort and othcr lurgü cities. We tooi the long but very pleasant walk across the fields to bob Chat maguiiioent work in bronze by Schwanthaler, ' tho Bavario," 8een fi rat at a distauce of a niilo, lt appears tho figuro of a fomale of about life size, but as it ifi graduilly approached its vast proportions and symmotry, its colossal grano and beauty, grow and expand until it becomes as it really is, ono of the boldest and most successful triuiuphs of art, in iteexeention as well as its original conception. The design is that of a female draped, standing n a gruccful pone, the right hand near the raised head of a lion couchant, the left arm raised and bent at the t'lbow with great natural ease, the hand suetains a wreath just above the head, while ;he expression of the face is ono of romarkable beauty and sweotnoss. The iigure, exclusive of the granite ptfdestol on which it stands, is 56 feet in height, and altogether perhapz 80 feet, besides the natural bank levation above the ;lain. The Euhmoshallo or hall of famo, whieh stands behind and forms a backjround for tho " Bavaria," is o contain austs, statues, &C, of the eminent and notablo Bavarians who have beeoruo djstingiished in tho field or council, in 'e:uning or art, but as yot is quito unoconpied. One of our rambles took va to the bridge crossiug the Isar in front of the Maximillineuut, a fine building devoted to 1hi' training of Ihoso ahont to enter the army, and thence by ft delightful fcotpath a milo or moro up the river, whioh on that sido hns a very respectable bank, and through tho suburbs Huidhausen and Au, dtcupied by peawntry, though souie of the streets and buildings are nol without tho attraotioziB of tasto and even beauty. ïho Mariahilfkirol' ei-octtd in the suburb of Au, is really one of the finest of tho modern church erecI ion-: in Munich. It is of the modern Oothic style, - the i'ucndo and totv-tr, which is 278 feet high aiul vory pointed, bbing cf gruy sandstone, with a Virgin, iiiuly executed by Schwanthaler, set in a niche ovur the portal. The stained glass of its tii'ty-two windows was designod by tho eminent artista Schrandoïph and Fisober, while the altars and aisles have iino decorations in carrod wood by Schonlaub. At sundown, or justbefore,itan"ords an intereRtingsightto8oethopcasniitscoming from their many places of employment in tho great city, oaoh beaving the tools of thoir calling or the basket of vegetables, bita oí' woöa or other apolia o]iiun of the day, and all jnerrily chattering in their peculiar dialect, less happy on.y than kings (?). We tried the beer of Franciscancrkeller, but canhot say that wc nevor drank any so wel] suited to oor uneduoatod taatcs. Btrolling : ward along the riverbank, whioh on the left sido is low, wo saw many of the large rafts which aro made up from timber out in the Tyrol and Southorn Bavaria, and coDsisted gcnerally of long round trees tripped of bark and limbs and muco larger in diameter at one end than the othor, indicating u growth somewhut low and stunted, as might naturully bo expocted. But I must hero close a ttory that is bocoming too long, and givo r.nothcr letter to finishing this noble capi tal of Bavaria. Yours truly, i upropur inoaas.

It is truo that tho liepublioan party has boon doing for sonie tinii: past what it did not mean to do, but all (xporiüuce provos this to bo tiue, that no political party eau purify itsulf.

He, with Mr.. Tilden, Mr. O'Conor, and other memben of the Democratie party, wero foremost ir. unearthing theso frauds. Wc nominated a ticket m:ulo up of bonegt men.

" Why you men have acted v-ry fairJy and Uouorably on the whole. ïhis ií an un usual spoot iele, nevortholess ■we say that although you try to purify your party yoa can not do it; the only way is to go tinder for the time aud havo u chango throughout."

You have inany offices in tho Government held by good and honest men who are intereated in the oontinuation of exponditures that aro riow not neecssary. It is an easy thing to bo a spoculative reformen, but when tho question comes amongold andwoll-known political fritinds whether some office held by an honest and reliablo man, aud who nuturally thinks it ought tobocontinued, should be abolished thu difficulty is apjjarent and retards tho climination of the evils which in ten tliousand different ways peuotrato tho body politie as a cáncer. You will find it is not au easy thing. You will find it is not in human nature, particularly pending a groat canvuss, to mako these cutting refonns. In the very naturo of things this is an offioo that must be done by men opposed to fchem. I tried it in this State, we claim, soms of us, to have all our lite long battled with corruptiou iu our own party, yet wheu we tried to strike the wrongdor some w.ay or other it hit the honest man. Any party iu power, when a prot'uM' expenditure of money is neecssury . to make these great reforme, must Blep aside and give place to the opposito party. We do not cali upou thu lathor of a family to administcr justice upon his erriug son. It is jast us mach tho duty of a man now to set himaelf to work to subdue his passions, in order to bring back our couutry to its past condition of morals and good government as it was for the young men to go forth eight or ten jti&Ti ago upon the battlc-field to fight for the Union. We have tried to do these things by putting forward men of our qwii party as standurd-bearers, though we werè not very fortúnate in selecting k man íbur years ago. (Laughter.) ïho Itepublicans said, " Why, wo think there ure great evils, aid there ought to bo ahange3." Y.et they are not pr.pared to accept thoso against whom they wero very much excited.

DEMÜCHATIC FATSIOTI83I. Well, gentlemen, we are proud to como forward and lay aaide our party pride and prejulices. It is a deep ieeling with us for a timo to chango our old party, but Mite-61 to our Itepublican friendo, " We will meet you more than half-vny.

So wo say to-day, we dont agree on these questions, but upon something underlying thuni more important.
