THE LORD Or CASTLE CRAZY.
From All the Year Round.
I dwell in Castle Crazy,
And am its King and Lord,
"Tin furnished well for all my needs
Cellar and bed and board.
And tip in the topmost attic,
Tbe farthest from the earth, -1
keep my choicest treasures
And gems of greatest worth.
A nobly stocked mnsenm
Of all that's rare and bright
With plans nh, many a thousand!
For setting the wrong world right.
Plans for destroying evil
And poverty and pain,
And stretching life to a hundred years
Of vigorous heart and brain.
I've books in Cnstle Crazy
That solve the riddles of time,
And make old histories easy
With all their sorrow and crime.
Hooks that divulge all secrets
That science has ever thought,
And might lead us back to Eden
If men could ever be taught.
I've plans for converting the heathen
Plans for converting oursolves
Perhaps the greatest of heathen!
All in a row on my shelves.
I've plans for transmuting pebbles
Into the minted gold,
And fixing dew into diamonds
As bright as were ever sold.
Though Castle Crazy's open
To all who wish to see,
Very few people care to come
And explore its wealth with me.
I very well know the reason
Prithee ! don't miss the point !
am the centre of wisdom
The world is ont of joint !
"The Three Moors" in Augsburg.
The following sketch of an old German
building of historic interest, which we have
"translated from a recent number of a German
periodical, will be found to be pleasant sum
mer reading:
The loiterer along the quiet Ilauptstrasse
in Augsburg, soon after passing the Hercules
Fountain, will observe a remarkable old
house with imposing facade and an iron bal
cony. Three or four servants lounge at the
door, a huge omnibus comes thundering up,
and an Englishman with his wife stands in
the roadway, as if with deliberate desire to be
run over.
That is tho Hotel of the Three Moors a
historical point in this historical city. It is
not long since tho last owner died; and we
cannot pay a more lilting tribute to his
memory than by briefly sketching the history
of his house. For his was one of those true
German natures which lind its pride iu the
house of their fathers, and which heartily re
joices in the prosperity and glory of the family
name and home.
The dignified hast of tho Three Moors ha 1
Been many a modern traveller alight at his
door. He himself had travelled much through
Europe to London and Paris, to the far
North and to the Levant yet wherever he
went he came back always with joy and priia
to his "Moors" in the old street. George
Deuringer for this was the honored old citi
zen's name bad in his establishment nothing
of the expensive machinery which i usually
found in modern hotels. He never disap
peared behind an army of retainers in dress
coats, such as fill the halls and staircases of
many a hotel now-a-days. On the
contrary, he cared personally for the
comfort of h'a guesti, and liked nothing
better than to sit down and chat with them
on all sorts of subjects. According to his
ideas, the guests in a really good hotel should
be made to feel entirely at home, and tho
furnishing of the rooms iu his house carried
ont this principle. There was none of that
gilt and tinsel decoration which the frivolous
taste of modern times has sanctioned. All
the rooms had solid, old-fashioned furniture,
inviting to family use and family comfort.
The walla wero adorned with frescoes repre
senting scenes from the old Persian wars and
deeds of the Trojan heroes.
The Hotel of the Three Moors was already
in existence in 1314, and included also at
that time the ground now covered by the
small house on the right. When the gay
knight with . his troop of followers passed
through the town, he stopped here to drink
and carouse, until some feud or fray called
him to more stirring life; and when the quiet
scholar came that way, he too paused to fill
his tankard and to gaze at the fair maiden
spinning behind tho balcony. These were
the earliest days of the "Three Moors."
In 14'J2-'JG Antonius Fugger built the pre
sent large house. The time of Charles Y was
at hand, and the old Roman town had become
the pearl of Germany. Within its walls was
assembled the famous Reichstag of I.';i0:
thousands of strangers flocked thither, and
the streets were gay with bright dresses and
noble forms. Knights and their retainers
occupied many of the high, quaint houses,
with their narrow windows and lofty gables,
but the Emperor himself had his quarters iu
the house of which we are writing. He was
the guest of the Fugger family, and lived in
the great saloon, whose wood-panelled ceil
ing even at this day excites admiration.
But these days of magnificence passed
away, and more serious times succeeded
them. The early storms of the Reformation
and the calamities of the Thirty Years' War
affected this proud house also. Then came
the eighteenth century, with its lavish taste
and lawless ideas, and in 17-'2 the house
passed into the hands of a Senator, Andreas
Wahl by name, who altered the facade to suit
the taste of the day. The Gothic towers
which stood on each Bide were taken away,
and the older and newer parts of the house
united. In 1801 the father of tho late
owner, so recently deceased, came into pos
session of it. During the troublous tim 3s of
Napoleon I Augsburg was frequently the
scene of stirring events, and in lSit'i the
knighthood who represented the kingdom,
then fading away, held their last meeting
here in Augsburg, in this ancient house. A
year later Napoleon I dwelt ' withia it j
walls. It was cold October w eather: thousands
of soldiers lay in the wide plain towards Ului,
of which General Mack held possession.
The Emperor's whole staff was quartered in
the "Moors;" Talleyrand came there, and Met
ternioh, and a deputation from Paris brought
to the Emperor constant communications
from the Senate. On December 4, 1 .).", two
days after the fearful battle of Austerlitz,
Josephine was in this house with her sou
Eugene lieauharnois. Messengers hastened
to and fro, exhausted soldiers au I fres'i
troops passed through the crowded city, and
Marshals Lefevre and Soult took up their
quarters in this same old "Three Moors."
For a short season there was agaiu quiet iu
the old streets, until, in Ikoii, the graud army
took up its march towards Vienna and passed
through Augsburg.- From April l(i to 18
2apoi?iu occupied tot iLo eouiul liuie an lua
headquarters the same coble rooms which he
had used in 1805, and with him now cameOndi
not and Pernndotte. Like a raging stream the
French army poured into Austria, and a hun
dred thousand soldiers' hearts beat in one on.
ward movement of victory and exultation.
Before the "Three Moors" walked the guard
of honor; above, at the window, stood the
Emperor in his grey coat and small hat.
Large maps lay spread out before him, while
his eye looked into the future, and in ima
gination ho stood already on the Danube and
fought the decisive battle.
Two thousand square miles were torn by
the French eagle at one grasp of his mighty
talons out of Austria's fair domains, and the
Emperor Francis and his State were crushed.
This was in 180:. In 1810 another noble
guest knocked at the door of the "Three
Moors" Maria LouisH, daughter of Francis,
and chosen bride of Napoleon. Many a joy
ous and many a tearful bride had tarried here
in the course of the years that were past, but
never one more timid or more full of fears
than this imperial bride on her way to Paris
as the price for which Napoleon had granted
peace.
Four years later all was changed. Tbe
French eagle was prostrate; Napoloon was
overthrown, and the German standard was
lifted from the dust and borne aloft again.
Other guests now flocked to the "Three
Moors" princes, ambassadors, and deputies
going to the Congress at Vienna. Among
them were Montgelas and Count Munster,
Castlereagh and Cathcart, Ompteda and Car
dinal Gonsalvi, to whom tho German States
owed that apple of discord, the Concordat.
And now a new storm broke over Europe,
and fresh armies appeared, with the sudden
return of Napoleon from Elba. We find
among the strangers who visited our ancient
house in these days the names of Wellington,
and the Emperors of Austria and Russia. All
the powers of Europe were now turning
towards Belgium, where the victorious course
of the conqueror was to be opposed, and
where he was to meet his fate. During these
days couriers passed and repassed continu
ally through our old town, and Walpole and
Wrede, the futvre European Nicholas, and
the dethroned King of Sweden, all visited
the "Three Moors."
After the battle of Waterloo, the German
body politic was clothed in a new garment,
and the Napoleonic appearances which had
flashed upon it like a comet disappeared
from its horizon. Jerome, the ex-King of
Westphalia, however, seemed to rise above
the depressing circumstances of his time, and
came to the "Three Moors" on the 7th of
August, 1810, to console himself with French
champagne for the adverse fate of the French
crown, in lHi'J tne ambassadors to the con
gress at Aix-la-Chapelle visited the old house,
and with this the active political life of this
epoch ended.
Insensibly the character of Augsburg
changed after this, and became less connected
with politics, and more with industrial life.
The former kingdom was long since dead and
buried, but its sacred candle had burnt pretty
freely for a thousand years, until the west
wind had come and extinguished it. A now
light had arisen upon the people, however,
which was so gentle iu its shining that no
eye was blinded by it; and this was the Ger
man Confederation. For fifty years had Ger
mania sat like a vestal virgin, aud guarded in
Frankfort the sacred flame, the political life
of the German people.
At last there came another strong wind
this time not warm from the west, as in
180G and the decaying political building tot
tered and fell, because men had quite for
gotten to keen it in repair. The terrified
spirit of the confederation took flight and
dropped down iu the "Three Moors" at Augs
burg. Here, where the leader of half a mil
lion men had lodged, where the Emperors
of tho Holy Alliance had met, the guardians
of the dying confederation now came to say
their last words and to make their last moan.
The hope which the confederation was to
realize had withered like a green branch, and
its dead leaves were scattered to the winds.
Quietly and peacefully as it had lived so it
died, for it never had the heart of the Ger
man psople.
But again in the following year the "Three
Moors" had a royal guest. When Napoleon
III was going to Salzburg, to the Conference
of Powers, he wished to show his Empress
the city where he had been a scholar in the
Gymnasium, and he therefore stopped with
his suite in Augsburg. And there, in the
same rooms where once the "uncle" had sat,
before he went to Aspern and Wagram, to
destroy Austria, sat the "nephew" before he
went to Salzburg to win Austria's friendship.
Strange thoughts must have pressed upon
that cold, calculating heart as he, believ
ing so strongly in destiny, looked upon the
streets where, as a school-boy, he dreamed
perchance of a crown for himself. The
stranger who wishes to see this ancient house
is of course first conducted to the Imperial
room. The lofty bed is carefully shut in
with curtains, the candelabras before the tall
mirrors look as if no light had burned in
them lor scores of years, and histories are
pictured in the antique frescoes on the walls.
Involuntarily the visitor treads softly, as if he
might perhaps catch something of what had
once been spoken here. In the second story
is the favoiite chapel, adorned with old paint
ings of the school of Lucas Cranach, while
some Italian pictures hang over the altar and
door. The carved prie-rfieu which stands in
the middle is nearly four hundred years old.
The walls were formerly covered with
silk tapestry, but they are now plastered
and finished off in modern style. Ascend
ing higher, the staircases are steeper, and
the numerous angles and corners of the
curious old house become more perplexing.
Only travellers who desire cheap lodgings
climb into those regions, and the little waiter
who conducts them to their rooms reminds
one of a will-o'-the-wisp with his lantern
flashing in and out of the dark turns. The
historical treasures of the house are above
ground, but in the cool, dark subterranean
rooms there are also treasures of untold
value, for there is the world-renowned wine-
cellar of the "Three Moors." Whoever goes
through the catalogue of this collection can
thereby advance his geographical studies, for
there are wines here from every part of the
! world, and the labels date one bun-
' dred and twenty years back. I should
I fur rather dwell upon this wine-list with
j my toDgue than with my pen, aud would
I gladly change my inkstand at this moment
into a bottle ol Malvoisie. Among tne Ger
man wines (and their list stands at the heal),
we find first of all tho Cabinet und Atotlese
torn Jihein. These are ten, eleven and fif
teen culden (a gulden is about fifty cents,
bilver) a bottle. Since a German souokr as
j general thing gets his dinner for fifteen kret.
: zers (about ten cents, silver) it is evident
j that tLis wine is not grown for his table, or
h'S table is not grown for this wine, lue
Fiench list shows champagne aud the heavy
wines of the South, which make our heads
spin so speedily. One of these contained
a warning in its label: it was called nuit,
while another was creme de la teU.
Tho bpuiiiah lituiios are uiuio higL-aouud-iDg,
generally beinglinted to a Don ox Donna.
Tho Abad llomano dates from 1754, Musoadel
de Granada from 1770; while from the Canry
Islands comes Valmen wine a hundred years
old. Portugal and Madeira yield also their
treasures, and the Tokay wines come next.
Among the Italian names we hear Bounds
familiar to ns from the odes of Ilorae. Here
are the Mansio and the Falernian, which once
flowed at the table of Mmcenas, with which
Catullus cooled his fevered lips, and for which
the exile of Tomos (Ovid) longed when the
Eain of his banishment pressed sore upon his
eart.
Even Syria and Persia have thirteen kind
of wine on the list, and the Cape of Good
Hope has six. It cannot be denied that such
a list as this has a cosmopolitan, almost a
historical character, not only that of business
enterprise. Emovment, that has been tne
master passion of tbe world for thousands of
years, and the vine was tne magio pUnt, tne
sweet treasure, which was concealed in the
earth to be discovered by man for his
need and for his pleasure. He cast his cares
and his gloomy thoughts into the bottom of
the cup where he found his comfort and de
light. And the people of to-day, too, lift the
cup to their lips, but thev drink no
more as did those of former times.
The genius of enjoyment, the Olympic
in their pleasure, has gone with
the old days, and out of the ancient reveller
has come the modern gourmand. The
Frenchman sips his champagne while he
dines with fair ladies, the Italian drinks his
Marsala and reads the Upinione, and the Ger
man lifts his goblet of llhine wine, and sings
one of Ernst Moriz Arndt's songs. But as
they drank in the days of Augustus none
drink now: the eating and drinking has be
come a means to an end only. The ancient
carouser is a dramatic, the modern bon-ticant
a comio figure. How can one call it other
wise when in the hall of the "Three Moors"
a travelling tradesman dealing in wagon
grease drinks Falernian wine ? Does not
in such a case Horace's ode become a
satire ?
In no hostelry in all Germany is the con
trast between past and present so forced upon
one as in the "Throe Moors. ' It meets you
on every stair and in every room, aud iu the
great saloon, where the annual ball is always
held, the ladies wear as masks the same taste
ful dress which; three hundred years ago, the
patrician daughters of the time were used to
wear. W hen the dance is over the gentle
men sit in the room above and smoke their
cigars with their nightly glass, and they sit
in the same room and by the same fireplace
where the old Count Fugger Bat when he
threw the bond of Charles V into the fare.
Passing through the passage-ways in the
morning, we often meet young couples who
keep close together, as if the narrowness of
the stairs compelled it, and the little wife is
as closely veiled as if she were in Turkey
instead ot Augsburg, wno might tney be t
The young man's entry yesterday in the book
was "Mr. and wire. lie wrote it as
if he had done it a hundred times, and yet
this was tne very first occasion. "Ihe briae
and groom" have become a very common
type in the travelling community, and the
typical hotel for tnia type is the "Three
Moors" in Augsburg.
But besides this visitors book, in which is
inscribed "Mr. and wife," there
is another, where the names of all the
great ones above-mentioned are written. It
is, perhaps, one of the most valuable collec
tions of autographs in Germany, for, accord
ing to the estimate of a connoisseur in such
matters, it would readily bring 20,000 gulden.
There are some, however, who desire to pro
cure them more cheaply, judging from the
frequent defacing of tne book done by En;
lish and Americans. Many names have, in
consequence, been inserted by other hands,
and now the book is scarcely ever exhibited
to strangers.
