Twenty years more of his life were devoted to

Letter to JJevornor (Jeiiry from Itnron erolt
Another 1'lea lor Alercy.
Baron Gerolt, Minister to Washington from
the North German Confederation, has addressed
Governor Geary the following letter:
Ll'.GATION OK TUB NOKTH (illlHAN UNION.
Washington, Dec. 8. 1800. Dear Governor:
After my Interview with your Excellency in
Harrieburg, on tho 4th inst., I returned to Wash
ington deeply impressed with the conviction
that the judicial proeecdings in tho case of Dr.
Sehoeppe, who had ueeu accused ot having
caused the death ot his patient, Miss Stennecke,
by administering to tier prussic acid, were con
ducted with Impartiality according to the laws
of Pennsylvania, and that the statements in the
public papers, and iu private letters addressed
to your l!.xceiiency, against tue integrity oi tuo
jurors and the Criminal Court who gave their
verdict of guilty, are without foundation and
justice.
1 am nappy to say 10 your excellency inai in
great excitement ot the iicrman population in
this country against the sentence of death of
Dr. Sehoeppe was caused by the opinion, publicly
exprefsed, ny medical authorities in rnuauei
phia. New York, Baltimore, Washington, aud in
other cities, by whom Dr. Aiken's chemical
analysis of the contents of Miss Stcnneckc's
stomach had been examined, that the evidence
of poison (prussic acid) presented to the jurors
and to the Criminal Court was iusutlicient and
doubtful.
This uncertainty of the symptoms of the priiS'
sic acid in the aforesaid analysis, has since been
strengthened by all medical authorities in this
country who have been consulted on tho subject.
On my return to Washington, i iook pains my
Eelf in examining the numerous petitions and
opinions addressed to me from various parts of
the country, ana ineyau agree mat tue evidence
of prussic acid or any other poison haviug been
the cause of Miss Steinneck's death is insuf
ficient.
From the testimonies of distinguished medi'
cal authorities w hom I consulted, I beg leave to
present to your Excellency the Inclosed opinion
Upon eo many respectable authorities, and in
consideration of the existing friendly relations
and feelings between the United States and Ger
many, I had taken the liberty of addressing your
.Excellency personally at your resilience on
behalf of "Dr. Sehoeppe, with the consent aud
tho kind Introduction of the honorable Secretary
of Stuto of the United Mates. Having been
kindly requested by your Excellency to address
you in writing, I have now the honor Jto
comply with that request, and, together with so
many thousands of my countrymen in this coun
try, I beg your Excellency to take into kind
consideration their petitions on behalf of Dr
Sehoeppe. and their apocal to your Excellency,
to the exercise ot whien privilege you are enti
tled by tho constitution and laws 01 rennsyi
vauia as Governor of that State.
In expressing again to your Excellency my
sincere gratitude for tho kindness with which
you nave received my visu ana my veruai
representation ou ueuau oi ur. ocuoeppe, i Deg
to add that the information which I have re
ceived, since my return to Washington, of 'the
respectability of his family and of his profes
sional education at tho principal universities in
Germany, seem to lustily the sympathies maul
fested under the circumstances by his country'
men aud many American citl.ens,
I have the honor to be, with the highest con
sideratlon. your Excellency's most obedient
servant. Hit. V. Gkholt
To His Excellency John W. Geury, Governor of
Pennsylvania, Jiarnshurg.
P. S. If your Excellency should deem it con
venient to make any use of this eoinmunlca
sion, 1 should have no objection to it.

costumes. It will also be used for s;hes aud

lins, as well as cloths, silk, wooIIcbs, aud fou
lard arc the faded leaf, myrtle green, Florentine
bronze, Dd Heep violet. Blnck Is still very
diftinguf. ' '
Fnll dress Is neither eccentric nor exagge
rated. The manteau do cour, which at present
composes the robe do grande toilette, is a most
useful combination, as it forms two dresses out
of ono. Tho under or first skirt is short in front
Mind slightly trained behind, over which is worn
the manteau of tho same material, being attached
to the waist under tho arms. Ribbons are placed
under the train to draw it up slightly and sus
tain the basque, which accompanies tho dress
and appears to belong to the body, but is sepa
rate, and can be worn cither with tho short and
walking dress or evening costumo. There is
but little doubt that trained dresses will be dis
carded for ball dress, and the half-long adopted
Instead a fashion more graceful and convenient
for dancing.
The loose train, however, may be worn and
carried over the arm, and is suitable when the
skirt is of a light texture and train of satin.
Open bodies, cut square, aro worn for dinner
diets. High chemisettes of lace and muslin and
tucked fichus, a la paj'sanno, aro much in vgue;
frills of laco aro also worn round the edge of the
body. Robes de chambro play an important part
in ladles' toilette, and should be chosen with
great care, both as to form and color. They
should be warm aud well cut, but, above all, of
a becoming shade blue, mauve, aud pearl gray
for blondes; white, red, or violet for brunettes.
Flannel, Scotch plaids, molleton, wadded cache
mire and poplin are tho materials employed for
robes de chambre.
Walking dresses are always round, inst touch
ing tho ground. The bodies are high and closed
at the throat, but revers, pelerines, and round or
square berthes aro simulated by trimmings. The
sleeves are generally tight, trimmed with rovers,
biases, or frills. A second tuniquo skirt, gracc-
lully draped and trimmed, is usually worn with
tho short dress. Sashes are still in favor, tied
simply behind in a knot, if worn with the tu-
nique, hut over a pluiu skirt tho sash is fuller
and forms tho poufl.
