February 18, 188C.
After leaving Berlin I arrived safely in
"Wittenburg, which is about three hours
distant from the German capital. Se much
did I enjoy my visit te this, the home of
Luther and Catharine Yen Bera. I had an
introduction te Rev. Dr. Schmider, the
president of the theological seminary, and
this was particularly fortunate Dr. S. is
the visible successor of Dr. JIartin Luther.
The seminary is devoted te the use of the
preparation of young pastors for active
work. It occupies the old University
building, which was se strict in earlier
times. Dr. S. is a venerable doctor of
theology of 86, yet his hand is as steady as
if he were young. In my autograph I
carry the evidence of this. Back of this
portion of the old University is the cloister
in which Luther was first a monk, and
later, in which he and Catharine Ven Bera
lived in wedded life. Frem his Augustin
ian cleisteral cell, he carried the 93 Thesis
which he affixed te the doers of the Schloss
church, located at the ether end of the
town. Frem this same cell he went te the
celebrated spot near the walls and burned
the Papal Bible a spot which is new
marked by an oak tree. When one stands
before this tree, and knows that it draws
its life from the ground upon which Luther
steed and rang the bell of Reformation, a
strong feeling of the historical character
of the spot is necessitated. The same his
torical cell became later the favorite room
of Lutherand Cathrinc Ven Bera,and is new
called the Luther stube. " At the further
end of the room is the Schloss church, the
doers of which were destroyed by the
French. Bronze doers new serve as suc
cessors te these upon which Luther nailed
his 95 thesis. History, indeed, has reached
a great epoch which can only be felt te the
full degree when standing before this, the
Schloss Kirche, at Wittenburg. Equally
interesting is the house in which Milanc Milanc
then lived, worked and died. Beth Luther
and M. lie buried in the crypt of the
Schloss church. One mile beyond the town
is located the weeds te which Luther re
tired when punished te study or meditate.
Se rich is Wittenburg in historical inci
dents, that one can only select these which
are the mere prominent. Between Witten
berg and Halle one saw and talked te the
common velk or people. Se marked is this
class in each district. The Wittenburg and
Halle common velk arc by no means beau
tiful, but they are very kind and sincere.
Halle was enjoyed for three days. Here I
enjoyed a visit te the large Deacenness
house, in which are educated the Dcacon Dcacen
nesses for the province of Saxony. Some
thing of the University life I also saw, as I
was invited te the home of Dr. Jacobi, one
of its professors. Fer three hours he in
terested me with reminiscences of Thre
luck and Robertsen. Se immense is the
Franke house, a charitable institution lo
cated here. Halle is quaint with its rem
iniscences of the past and its remnants of
old town walls. The Reformed congiega cengiega congiega
tien worships in the cathedral, which was
the church of the bishop in pre-Rcforma-tien
times. Three students whom I met
here were very kind, and showed me the
interesting part of the town. After a ride
of 2 J hours, I find myself in Thuringia, in
the little village of Dern Derf. Frem my
window I sec the ruins of three castles, the
Oldorf, of which dates from 900, and was
the residence of Othe I. In a second Goethe
lived for several months in the year 1828.
When I saw the rooms te-day in which he
lived while a dweller at the Dernburg,
one realized he was indeed iu high
company. The rooms are furnish
ed as when occupied by him. In one
there is a collection of pictures which he
made when enjoying his Italian tour. The
tile stove in the room in which he compos
ed the first act of the Iphigenia, and fin
ished the second part of Faust, is very
peculiar in design. Like most German
stoves it is made of many tiles joined to
gether compactly, forms quite a large ob
ject in the furnishing of a room. The up
per part of this stove is made te artificially
represent a ruin, with its broken pieces,
whilst around the main part a serpent
coils and twines itself. Singular rela
tion is this te the character of Faust
as a composition. The view from the
window overlooking the valley is minutely
described by Goethe in his diary. The
Saale flews in a serpentine way at the feet
of the Dernburg, and may be called the
Thuringcaw Meander. The litttle village
of Domderf, of which I am a resident, lies
en the further side of the stream. Se dis
tinctly can the Pfarrer Haus of Paster
Wiettig be seen from this, the home of
Goethe when resident at the Dernburg, the
guest of the Duke of Weimar. Frem the
same window from which he looked down
upon the Pfarrer Haus at Domderf did I
enjoy a view of it also. I could see the
window of my room from the window of
Goethe's room. This, indeed, was a rare
pleasure aud long te be remembered. On
the frame work of either window in the
Goethe Zimmer are two autographs which
remain as souvenirs of his own hand
schrift. His writing desk is inscribed with
the words "Goethe's Secretar." Very in
timate was the relation between Gejthe
and the Duke Carl August. In the room
of the latter, which is en the opposite side
of the hall, is the bust of Goethe's mother.
One sees in her countenance that strength
which descended te the son. Frem room
te room the poet and the duke were accus
tomed te freely exchange visits and enjoy
the companionship of one another. The
whole house is redolent with the memory
of Gcethe and his Ducal friend. A air of
elegant simplicity pervades the entire
interier: The cleanest, whitest, most sim
ple curtains serve as lambrequins for the
windows, which ever and anon seem te
say, "Marguirite, Marguirite," se sugges
tive de their own purity of color remind
one of the chastity of this heroine. The
geed in the drama lingers in these cinfach
curtains, whilst the bad seems concentrat
ed in the serpent which creeps en the tile
stove. The pictures in the room are hung
in a straight line, rather for their enjoy
ment as studies than te give an aestheti
cal finish te the walls of the room. In all
these surrounding objects there is some
thing which constantly suggests the con
trasts of simple innocence and premedi
tated, conscious guile influences which
no doubt had much te de with the form of
that portion of the Faust and the Iphi
genia, written here. Unwillingly does one
leave such an historic room, and often does
ene leek back te have last glances of its
interior. The terrace is equally beautiful.
Near by stands the well from which
Gcethe always drank. It is constantly
flewiug ; and thus sends a little
cascade ever the terrace's brew. Frem it
I drink te the health of Goethe and my
friend, the Herr Pfarrer Otte Wiettig. The
Schloss, which adjoins the Goethe Haus, is
the home of the Duke of Weimar for sev
eral weeks in the summer season. The old
Schloss is new used as a magazine and
storehouse. A sad reflection upon its
former days is this modern use of the home
of two emperors and the feudal possession
of the land-graves of Thuringia. Only one
portion of the original castle still remains,
which was built between 900 and 1000 A. D.
This new forms part of the Schloss, as
restored in the 14th century. A great wall
surrounds the entire Dernburg, which
leeks grim with age. Passing out a single
gateway one fellows the meandering path
way and reaches the feet of the hill. On
the way one sees great quantities of ivy,
which is a native of Thuringia, growing
wild in this locality. The Kenilworth ivy
grows wild en the Schloss walls. As a
souvenir of these growths I send a speci
men te my readers, with the compliments
of Gcethe and Otte the First. Quiet little
Derndorf and a picturesque Dernburg are
new disturbed by the noise of the steam
engine, which rapidly carries the travelers
te Jena, distant eight miles. Cressing
the saale, the Paster Wiettig and I seen
reach the Pfarrer Haus, where the Frau
Pasterin greets us with a pleasant smile
and a warm cup of chocolate. Dear, dear,
is this little Thuringian Pfarrer Haus at
Derndorf ; se hospitable are the Herr Pas Pas
eor and the Frau Pasterin ; se very Thur
ingian docs everything seem ; se different
from the interior of an American parson
age is this Derndorf home. Net less pleas
ant is it te meet the geed simple Thurin
gian peasants in their own homes. A
pleasure I have had in company with the
Paster Wiettig. Derndorf is se quiet, and
yet net drowsy. As I write the mid-day
bell rings the hour of twelve, and the vil
lagers take their mid-day meal. In the
study of a Thuringian I sit and write te
American friends. Derndorf en the saale,
with its overhanging Dernburg, is thor
oughly Thuringian, and what is Thurin
gian is thoroughly beautiful as te the pic
turesqucness of its scenery and sincere as
te the hospitality of its people.
Gee. Merle Zaciiakias.
The Letter T in Evidence.
The Greenpoint Bank President Examined
en nis Handwriting.
The fourteenth day of the examination
of Edward F. Williams, President of the
Greenpoint savings bank, en a charge of
writing obscene letters, was opened before
United States Commissioner Allen, in
Brooklyn. Mere questions by United
States District Attorney Tenney was ad
dressed te the defendant, intended te draw
if possible, the letter written by Mr. Wil
liams, and known as the Planter letter, in
to the case as a basis upon which experts
might institute a comparison with the ob
scene letter. Mr. Williams testified as te
hew he made his different letters, and was
se positive in his answers that the district
attorney could net ask him te refresh his
memory by looking at the Planter letter.
He said that he had no general rule about
crossing his "t's." Mr. Tenney quickly
asked him te leek at the Planter letter and
see hew he made the letter "t"in that
letter.
Mr. Williams said thai there weie sev
eral "t's " in the Planter letter, and that
he made them. He had made- all of the
words in the letter, and, if there had been
no erasures or alterations, he could say
that he had made all of the letters. He
thought, however, that in several words
there had been alterations and erasures,
but he was net prepared te swear positive
ly that there were, and he could net point
out any indication in the letter which led
him te think that there might have been
any erasure or alteration, execptthat sev
eral " p's" did net seem te be in his usual
way of writing. They seemed te be tee
short below the line, but he did net wish
te be understood as saying that they had
been shortened. He was net expert
enough te say whether there were indica
tions of an erasure. He thought that he
had made the h's"and "p's" in the
three "ships" written in the letter, al
though the "p's" looked shorter than his
usual way of making them. He thought
that he had made the letter "x."
Antheny Comstock was called te des
cribe the characteristics of Mr. William's
handwriting which he found in the anony
mous letter ; but as he had previously tes
tified that he did net pretend te be an ex
pert, en Gen. Catlin's objection, he was
withdrawn for the present.
Frederick H. Way, assistant secretary
of the Williamsburgh Fire Insurance Com
pany, testified that he was familiar with
Mr. Williams's handwriting, and that in
his opinion, the anonymous letter was in
Mr. Williams's handwriting.
There was a rustle of interest in the
court room as Jesiah Palmer was called.
He is tall and lean, and has a quaint man
ner of speech. Mr. Palmer has been for
many years the agent of Samuel J. Tildcn
and Henry Hilten in Greenpoint. Mr.
Palmer has for ever a year been annoyed
by the anonymous letters, and by some mis
chievous " Gentleman Jee," who sent men
and boys te him with dogs te sell, and
Italian laborers by the hundred, looking
for work at high wages. The same per
son advertised Mr. Palmer once as having
died suddenly, announcing his funeral for
March 17, 1879, when a number of his
family friends went te his house, expect
ing te fellow his remains te Calvary ceme
tery. The excitement caused by this,
Mr. Palmer believes, hastened the
death of his wife. The original copy of
the advertisement, which he obtained, is
in the same hand writing as the numerous
anonymous correspondence te a contest he
had with the defendant about the route
which the Manhattan Beach railway
should take in Greenpoint. Mr. Palmer
compelled the company te change its route,
se that Mr. Williams lest an annual rental
of $5,000 for a depot site.
As Mr. Palmer was about te be sworn,
Gen. Catlin objected, saying: "He is an
infidel and does net believe in a Supreme
Being." Mr. Tenny said that it was. an
outrage that a witness should be insulted
in that way. Mr. Palmer, in response te
questions, said that he believed in Ged, in
the Bible, and in Jesus Christ. Then he
testified that he had lived in Greenpoint
for thirty years, and had known Mr. Wil
liams for about that length of time. He
had seen him write and had received his
receipt. He Mr. Williams had three
handwritings, one a running hand sloping
te the right, one sloping te the left, and
his signature he printed. He had seen
Mr. Williams write in each of these styles
Mr. Palmer then took the obscene letter
which has been framed under glass, and
spent some time in studying it through a
microscope. As he finished, he said :
"That letter,, in my judgment, was written
by E. F. Williams." He said that he had
net seen the letter before. The case was
then adjourned.
A Convict's Generosity.
A I'risenar in the Eastern Penitentiary
aiends Five Dollars te Ireland's Peer.
Warden Townsend, of the Eastern Peni
tentiary of Pennsylvania, was asked a
curious request some few weeks age by a
prisoner under his charge. Learning of
the terrible sufferings of the peer in Ire
land, Prisoner "Ne. 94," as he is known
te the officials, inquired of the warden as
te the sum that steed te his credit en the
prison -books for extra work. He was told
that a little everv$5 was the amount, and
he requested of the warden te obtain for
him a draft en Ireland for 1, payable te
the order of Sister Mary Frances Clare, the
Nun of Kenmare. This was done, and in
a letter written by the donor the charitable
gift was enclosed and mailed te the
country in which the peer fellow was born.
A few weeks elapsed and the Nun of Ken
mare's answer was received, which is as
fellows :
Convent of Peer. Clares, Kbnmare,
County Kerry, March 3, 1880.
My Bear Peer Fellow : Fer a long time
I did net receive a letter that affected me
se deeply as yours, written as it was from
your prison cell, and from there thinking
of the suffering of ethers, forgetful of
your own, and sending the sum of 1 from
your own hard earnings te relieve the
distress of ethers. All I can say is, that
the head and heart that has done this
generous act cannot be a bad one,
and whatever act you have committed te
obliged the law te punish you must in
deed have been done in a thoughtless hour.
May our geed and merciful Ged leek down
upon you this day with eyes of mercy ai d
compassion, comfort and console you, and
and give you the great grace of resigna
tion te His most holy will.
I wish you would write again and tell
me all about yourself, and thank the geed
kind warden who has allowed you t?
write.
I am sending you a little book by this
pest. Read a page of it every day, and
we will net forget you in our prayers.
Sk. M. F. Clare.
Warden Townsend opened and read- the
letter and then delivered it te "Ne.94,"
"for," said he, "when once the iron doers
of this place are opened te receive a con
vict, the name by which he is known in
the outside world is left behind him, and
with the clanking of the prison gates all
memory of his former position in life is
forgotten and the number of the cells in
which he is incarcerated is used te desig
nate both the man and the occupant. When
the generous fellow was handed the kind
letter from the famine-striken county, he
burst into tears as seen as he had finished
reading the missive. The man was
touched by the hopes held out for him and
it was some hours before he regained
his accustomed composure and quietness.
He has been in prison new for about eigh
teen months and he has two months mere
te serve befere his time is up. Since his
imprisonment he has conducted himself
with mere than usual geed behavior. He
was sent here convicted of burglary, com
mitted in the southern portion of this city.
I knew it was net his fault, as he was led
into it by evil associations, for he is a
young man, unmarried, and about thirty
years of age, and as he says himself he
dates his downfall from acquaintances
picked up in bar-rooms. The way he ob
tained the money which he sent te Ireland
was by working extra, in making shoes at
night, while many of the ether prisoners
pass their spare time, from 6:30 te 9 p. m.,
in reading or idling. It takes a long while
for a man te earn $3 by extra work, as the
state only allows him from five te ten cents
for the extra task which he is willing te
perform, and half of this gees te the coun
ty as a sort of recompense, se the peer
fellow has had te work, hard for his gift.
Ne. 94 ' is a man I'm sure will never re
turn te this place, and since he has been
here he has wen the confidence and merited
the respect of all the keepers, for he is
polite and obedient at all times, and does
net belong te that criminal class which
necessitates the keeping of such an insti
tution as the Eastern penitentiary."
M. Sheeban, of Oscoda, Mich., writes : I
have used Dr. Themas' Electric Oil en horses
for different diseases and found it te de lust as
you reeemmended. It has done J nstlee for me
every time, and is the best oil for horses I ever
used. Address all orders te II. B. Cochran,
druggist, 137 and 139 North Queen street, Lan
caster. Statistics prove lliat twenty-nve per cent,
of the deaths in our larger cities are caused by
consumption, and when we reflect that this
terrible disease in its worst stage will yield te
a bottle of Lecher's Renowned Cough Syrup,
shall we condemn the sufferers ter their neg
ligence, or pity them for their ignorance?
Jesh Billings says if I wuz called upon te
mourn ever a dead mule I should stand in
front of him and de ml weeping. That is all
very well Jeshua, but if a live mule was called
upon te plant his feet suddenly against your
besom there is nothing like a quick applica
tion of Dr. Themas' Electric Oil. Address all
orders te II. B. Cochran, druggist, 137 and 139
