Strassburg at a glance'announces its
location, and nothing more is required
to verify that it stands upon what was
at some time or other the dividing geo
graphical line of tho two great nations
France and Germany. Turn where
you may, its narrow and winding streets
bordered with venerable and quaint
looking German houses meet the eye,
whilst here and there tho stereotype of
this line is broken by the introduction
of the architecture so familiar to French
provincial cities.
Though it is probable that the major
ity of the almost one hundred thousand
of her populace is inclined towards Ger
many, yet there are some who are not
exactly certain what their nation is, or
which side to applaud. 1 encountered
one of this kind as the train rolled into
the city. I had made some inquiries of
him ; at length he asked mo whether I
was not English. Upon answering him,
1 asked him his nationality. Laugh
ingly, he replied, "Eh bien ! monsieur,
en verite je ne sais pas. Je suis ne a
Strassburg." (Well! sir, indeed 1 do
not know. I was born at Strassburg.)
Notwithstanding the city is German
to-day, and the imperial Hag of Germany
waves over all her public edifices, there
are thousands of her inhabitants upon
her thoroughfares who speak French
from choice. I think if you were quiet
ly to button hole one of these French
speaking bourgeois, back him into some
dark and secluded corner, and there
cast off any German accent you may
have, and hurriedly ask him in pure
French which side of the political lence
he was standing on, he would first cast
about his eyes for some eaves dropping
window, and if none was near, and he
felt he could trust you, it is more than
likely he would whisper in your ear, |
that he was for the French republic j
from his heart to his cuticle. Bismark
knows of the existence of this discon
tent, but he knows, too, that this gene- ;
ration of Strassburgers, is as a whole, 1
past redemption ; lor how could it be
otherwise? But ten years since Strass- i
burg patriotically furnished her quota
for the army of France that was to carry
the tri-color to the defenses of Berlin
against this same Bismarck, but Sedan
interfered, and the German took posses
sion of this Strassburg, whose fortifica
tions he had hammered and pounded
to powder, and Strassburg, a Frencli
city, for almost two centuries suddenly
Became a German city. And now the
thing is being perfected, German di
plomacy has concluded to make all the
young Strassburgers with French ten
dencies German. It ccmmenced at the
ground and worked upwards. It has
endeavored to change their vernacular
language, and to-day German has sup
plied the place ol French in the schools.
Gradually tho object is being accom
plished, by slow singes it is true, and it
will take a little time nnd a little perse- |
verence. But like tho fabled old wo- :
may in the Greek reader, who lifted a
calf every day until she had insensibly
lifted an ox, Strassburg will by this
course, become thoroughly German;
provided, of courso another Franco Prus
sian war does not interfere, and tumble
her back iDto France.
The city outside of its celebrated ca
thedral and astronomical clock, bus few
attractions for the tourist, and a single
day will suffice to exhaust them all. As
its historical associations are virtually
minor to those compared to other cities
about it, tbeiefore the traveler for in
formation snd pleasure generally de
votes but a few hours to it. It was in
Strassburg that parvenu trickster nnd
doubtful nebpew of his uncle (subse
quently known as Napoleon 111) made
his first attempt to stir up rebellion in
France in order to advance his own in
terests, for which he very properly was
kicked out.
It is in Strassburg they make the
"Pate de foie gras." (Fat liver pie.)
There is no society for the prevention of
cruelty to animnlsin Strassburg and her
industrious and epieurean inhabitants,
it is said, nail down the webbed feet of
u goose to a board and straddling his
back, the Sfrasshurger gratifies the rav
enous palate of the fowl to excess (if
this sacred bird of old Home has u pa
late!) When he refuses to further take
the fattening food peacefully, it is tor
ceil down his gullet until in the course
of time his liver becomes distended to a
vastly abnormal size; then arrives the
final hour, and this swollen liver be
comes the delicacy of the bird, and from
it is made the "Pate de foie gras."
One hot day in June I dumped my
self down in Strassburg. I had but one
object in going there and that was to
see the clock. Having heard and read
of thia ingenious invention since a boy,
I had been led to believe it would be to
go to Rome without aeeing the Coliseum,
or to Athens without seeing the Acro
polis were I to go within a radius of
two hundred miles of Strassburg snd
not go to see her clock ; to following
the current of the curious, I went. 1
have seen it and feel relieved, but 1
will frankly confcas, that had I known
then as much as I do i.ow, it is hardly
probable that I would have invested
over one hundred miles in that time
piece. I do not mean by this to treat
the clock with contempt, but on the
contrary I have great respect for the
Strassburg clock, and 1 will certainly
Admit it is a marvel in itself, a wonder
ful piece of ingenuity and mechanism,
and to let it down gently, I will say
that coming from this country of inven
tion, in these days of progression, this
clock has very little attraction for me.
But there are persons who take to
clocks, and I do not speak for their
taste, but mine never drifted in that
direction. However, having gone to
see it, of course I did the thing from
beginning to end, with a satisfied en
joy men t, rather stoical as a matter of
course under the circumstances.
But 1 shall never regret having gone
to Strassburg, for it the clock is not a
loadstone that would draw mo there
again, her cathedral is, and 1 will say
is worth tho journey not only of one
hundred miles to seo it, but the trip
across the Atlantic itself.
1 can never forget tho bold impres
aiona made by the tall spire and grace
ful architecture of what was in French
Strnssburg called the Calhedrale , but in
German Strnssburg is to-day called the
Jtom. Shooting away from the earth to
a dizzy height rises this spire, its top
finished in a huge cross that stands so
far above the humble mortal on the
pavement below, that it seems as though
were it at his feet he could almost lift
it with one hand, though never once is
it out of proportion to the eye. Almost
the highest point raised artificially
above the ground about it upon the face
of the globe, the dome of old St. Peter's
at Home seems to drift and float in the
clouds, yet this cross at Strassburg is
thirty feet higher. St. Paul's at Lon
don, sends her gilded cross away up
where it ever looks dim in the constant
haze of the world's metropolis. Yet
ambitious Strassburg has reached nnd
holds up her sixty-one feet higher. To
carry the eye from the pavement up to
the cross makes the head to swim. It
seems to reach fur away into space;
four hundred and sixty-five feet it rises
in height (figuratively speaking, straight
as an arrow) and in the most pleasing
harmony of Gothic architectural pro
portion. When, in IS7O, the German
troops were knocking at the gates of
Strassburg, a shell from one of their
guns accidentally (for the gunners were
told to avoid touching the cathedral)
struck this elevated cross and twisted
and bent it, but the fearless Strassburg
ers took oil'their jackets and clambered
to the top and straightened it.
When I was there workmen were yet
engaged over tho huge edifice. I,ike
insects they looked from below, oblit
erating the reminders of the siege, for
stntutary and other ornamentation bau
been swept away by shot and shell,
which had to be restored ; indeed al
most one thousand projectiles from the
German cannon had reached if.
This structure lias ever been consid
ered a wonder, and it counts among its
visitors emperors and kings, distinguish s
ed soldiers and literati, and high up in
its tower the names of Ucnthe and Vol
taire may yet he seen inscribed amidst
a perfect whirlwind of signatures of
great and small.
The huge pile was commenced in the
twelfth century and gradually crawled
by degress to completion. Its wails are
replete with the most exqusite of work
manship. The whole cruciform in shape
follows the general plan of Muropean
cathedrals, l-'rom the high tower one
almost imagines ho can trace the com
in the huge and mighty pde of mason
ry heaped up upon the ground below
him. The interior of the church is
vast and the effects imposing. Hut as
to tlie clock, noon is the hour to see it,
for then the whole concern like pyro
technics goes oil' at once. 1 wandered
about, for nearly an hour, examining
the huge edifice, and patiently waiting
for midday. A great many others who
seemed to be drawn by the same attrac
tion kept me company—Americans,
Knglish, Hermans, £rench and Italians,
and some few who seemed from their
pilgrim look and dust covered clothing,
to have done the thing on foot from
under the shadow of tiie great wall of
China. < >ne without information would
naturally look for the clock in the
steeple, but that is not its location, it
stands in the right transept, on the
level of the great floor, immediately in
side the door, and is therefore of course
entirely within the chureh. It is prob
able twenty-five or thirty feet wide,
and some say fifty feet high. It was
completed in IS 12, and is the third
erected here, the first having been con
structed sometime in the year 1571.
About a quarter before twelve I went
over to the front of the curiosity anil
secured a position. Soon the space
about ne begun to fill with the assem
bling audience. A tall, fat, polyglot
custodian, clothed in heavy black, edged
with silver, and on his head a small
close fitting skull cap, soon put in an
appearance. In his hand lie held a
metallic staff or wand. lie constantly
moved about among the lookers on,
every few minutes letting off directions
in alternate bursts of French and Her
man. lie evidently considered the
stomach a very sensitive organ of the
human system, for as he time and
again admonished the crowd that was
beginning to push forward, not to jostle
each other, with every admonition he
desperately brought the point of his
wand against the bowels of a tnild look
ing Ntrassburg school boy, who had
doubtless dropped in to see the explo
sion every day at noon for a year, and
who now blandly smiled and endeavor
ed not to look injured eactj time he
was recognized by the important beadle.
The clock presents a wonder of me
chanism. Helow the symbolic deity of
each day advances in its order, com
mencing with Apollo on Sunday, higher
an angel strikes the quarters, whilst a
figure beside him reverses his sand glass.
The full hours are struck by a skeleton
upon a higher point about which stand
boyhood, youth, manhood and old age.
Far above, the twelve Aiiostles at noon
of each day move around the.Savior and
a cock to the left perched on the weight
tower, flaps its wings and crows. Pre
sented with this is a self-regulating cal
endar, and a faultless representation of
the 'motions of the planets. The in
genious and complicated piece of work
manship, glides without error, and
without further human assistance than
the necessary winding, from season to
season.
Finally noon came, silence nettled
over the audience, the tnouthn of half
of them opened ; every one fixed his
eyes on the clock. The thins gave a
spasmodic and hardly perceptible rattle.
The skeleton opened the ball by strik
ing the midday hour. At once twelve
rheumatic figures probably eighteen
inches tall each, with stiff knees, and in
robes as various in color in the aggregate
as the scriptural coat of Joseph, repre
senting the twelve Apostles, shuttled
out on their monotonous promenade,
each received in turn the Saviors's rec
ognition but one, whose countenance
was covered with a sickly hue, and
whose features bore all the marks of a
Broom street pawn broker, this excep
tion was supposed to lie .hulas lscuriot.
As the last Apostle did from view the
cock wildly flapped his wings, stretched
forward his neck, Rnd gave the shrill
characteristic crow of his species, then
all settled down into quiet. Like a
horse race, it was hardly commenced
before it was finished. Nome of the
crowd hesitated and lingered about a
moment evidently expecting the round
dozen of pedestrians to come out on
their second lap, but as the knowing
ones hurried away, the crowd dissolved,
seemingly of hut one opinion, that the
Strassbarg dock is very curious, but a
little, yes 1 just a little 1 Hat ; and as
one French victim (at least he consid
ered himself hucli) told me in his native
tongue, and with the usual accompani
ment of theatrical display, "Well, in
deed, man ami—l —well—yes I think
the clock whs hardly worth my trip
from Paris to see it, for, you know,
Strassburg is r. great many kilometers
from Paris, but for all that, you know,
I can say I saw it." Then he winked
one eye, shrugged his shoulders, poked
me in the ribs with his linger, lifted his
hat and disappeared out of the door,
determined to be fully satisfied.

A Few Law Points for the People.
From the Ih'otoi Slar.
A parole gift of personal property
must he accompanied by possession.
The attempt to commit a felony or
misdemeanor, is an indictable offense.
It is larceny to appropriate goods mis
laid or left by mistake.
A verbal release of debt, not founded
on a valuable consideration, will not'
bur an action.
Guardians, if practicable, must lend
out money of their wards, on good
security, and must collect the interest
annually.
Any one who takes possession of a
minor's estate without authority ot law
may he liable as a guardian.
The voluntary concurrence of compe
tent minds is required to make a valid
contract. If deception be practiced, by
either of the parties, in a matter, or
either be so intoxicated as to be unable
to comprehend the nature Jand effect
of the transaction, this invalidates the
contract.
The lather is the natural guardian
and custodian of his children, but, in
tho case of separation, their custody
may be given to the mother, if the
father is, from any cause, unfit for their
control, or unable to support them.
An action for the recovery of specific
property can be brought without giving
the bond specified in the code, when
tho simple question of title is tried,
and the possession of the property lett
undisturbed.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse of
crime. But ignorance of facts may
render a civil contract voidable.
There is no warranty to title in an
administrator's sale, but a personal rep
resentative is bound to make to the
purchaser a valid conveyance of such
title as his decedent had. He is liable
personally, for all damages arising from
his failure to follow the law.
It is a violation of the luw for A
occupiers of lands under a common
fence, to turn their stock within the
general enclosure, during the cropping
season. The party so offending com
mits an indictable offense, and is civilly
liable for all damages that ensue.
If any administrator or executor gives
s note, or makes any other contract in
his representative capacity, which the
law does not authorize, he fails to bind
the estate, but is individually liable
upon the same.
The law presumes that every person
intends to do what he does.
Drunkenness is no excuse for crime.
A person may have his domicil in
one county or State, and citizenship
in another. Citizenship is not lost or
changed by resilience abroad, so long
as "the intention to return" exists.
An unwritten will of personal prop
erty is valid when the property does
not exceed SSOO, and the bequest is
made during the last sickness of the
deceased.
The mortgagee and not the mort
gagor, must pay the fees for recording
the mortgage.
B . . _______
The Four Bishop*.
< no of the duties of the General Con
ference of the M. E. Church now in ses
sion t Cincinnati, was the election of
four Bishops. The slate was "blocked
nut" for a colored and a German Bishop,
but the votes did not tally in that way.
They arc all Yankees, as follows :
Henry W. Warren is a native of Mass
achusetts and a graduate of the Wesley
an University at Middleton, Connecti
cut. He took hia degree in 1853;
taught the classics in Wilbrahain Semi
nary for two years, and then joined the
New England (Conference. At the time
of his election he was Pastor of the
Arch Street Church, Philadelphia, and
member of the Philadelphia Confer
ence. He has long been a prolific writ
er for church and other periodicals, and
is author of a volume giving a record of
extended travel in Europe. He is also
a writer on Astronomy, and frequently
lectured on that subject, some of his
latest lectures being delivered in this
city. He is in the prime of life. His
brother, president of the Boston Uni
versity, is. like himself, distinguished
for scholarly attainments.
Cyrus D. Eos*, 1). D., ia by birth a
New Yorker, and like Warren, a gradu
ate of Wesleyan University, finishing
his studies here one year later than
Warren. He also spent two years as a
teacher after graduating, serving in the
Seminary in Armenia, New York. In
1857 he entered the ministry and filled
various stations until 1875, when he
was chosen president of his Alma Ma
ter. The Institution has been very
prosjterous under his administration, as
the influence of Dr. Foas was felt every
where in the denomination, and attract
ed not only atudenta, but financial aid
to it. He i> one of the finest orators of
the day, with a strong constitution and
high ambition to leave the world better
than he found it.
John F. Hurat, P. I)., ia a native of
Maryland, and of the same age as l)r.
Foss, both born in 1834. After leaving
college, he also taught the ancient lan
{uages for a couple of years, in Redding
natitute, New York. He then wefit to
Germany ami studied theology at the
UnivernitieH of Jlalle and Heidelburg,
and returning to this country in 1858,
entered the Newark Conference. After
a period spent in the itinerancy, he
was made principal of the theological
department of the Mission Institute of
the Methodist church at Bremen, Ger
many. During his charge this institu
tion was removed to Frunkfort-on lhe-
Main, and re-named the Martin Biblical
Institution. In this position he re
mained three years, and while there
traveled extensively in all parts of
Kurope. lie returned to America in
1871, and became l'rofessor of Historical
Theology .in the Drew Theological In
stitution at Madison, N. .1. In 187.'i he
was chosen President of the Drew Theo
logical Seiftinary, a position which he
leaves for the Episcopacy. He is the
author of a number of theological
works and the editor of others,
K. O. Haven, D. D,, is a native of Bos
ton, born in 1820, and a graduate of
Wesleyan University. He was two
years a teacher, and then entered tin
ministry, in 1818, in which he remained
until 185-' l, when he accepted a position
in the University of Michigan, filling
successfully the professorships of I,alio
and that of Rhetoric and Knglish Lit
erature. He was elect.-d editor of Zion's
J/eruhl, Boston, in 1856, and filled that
position until 1863, when he was elected
President of Michigan University. In
186'J he was elected President of the
Northwestern University at Kvanston,
111., in which he remained three years.
He was two years Secretary of the
Board of Education of the Methodist
church, and is now performing the du
ties of that office; and in 1870 was
made Chancellor of Syracuse University,
which josition he tilled when elected
Bishop. Dr. Haven has been a mem
ber of five General Conferences. In all
he has been prominent. He was chair
man of the Committee which provided
for the introduction of lay delegation
in the General Conference, and the
Bishop* appointed him fraternal dele
gate to the English and Irish Wesleyan
Church.
VOTARIES OF CHANCE.

TRANCE ANt> ENGLAND,
Fnm tli* Nt* York Truth.
According to well constituted and
reliable authorities gambling unques
tionably commenced in heaven. Her
cules used to shake the bones with the
high priest of his temple, the stakes
being tliu god's favor against a pretty
woman. Kven .love himself frequent
ly got into trouble with Mrs. Juno as
he came staggering home at daylight,
loaded clear up to the muzzle with
nectar, ami with the neck of a turkey
in his convulsive clutch.
The Hiudoos and other oriental
races were desperate gamblers, as were
also the Greeks and liomaus. Roman
gamesters used to have special slaves
to pick their dice up and put thcni in
the box, and worked two Ikixcs so as
not to lose time, which in this case was
certainly money for soraelffßly. Whcti
the Kmpcror Augustus had no other
opponents he would throw rallies with
the children about the place. Calig
ula, who threw dice on his way to his
sister's funeral, was an unlucky player,
and when he was cleaned out would
have some capitalist slaughtered and
confiscate the property to keep the
game going. Claudius is represented
by Seneca as being condemned to pick
up dice forever iu hell, dropping them
into n bottomless lsix. Nero would
stake 4<H),000 sestertii ($100,000) on
a enst, and $25,000 was a favorite
wager with Domitian. Catogot drunk
and gamed like a maniac, and though
Julius Cn *nr was a blue, ribbon man,
he had the other weakness quite as had.
The Greeks were not a hit bettor.
While Philip of Macedon was winning
their liliertv at the battle of Cluerona,
the Athenians were dicing merrilv,
and Themistoeies, on his way to fight
the Persians, halted his army to watch
two wayside cocks spur one another to
pieces. One favorite Greek game was
played with shells pitch black on one
side, and tossed into the air, the player
calling the color for it to fall. It may
be some comfort for gentleman from
the rural districts to know that the
"skiu" game is no modern institution.
Iaded dire have been found in
Athenian ruins and among the a*hes
of Hcrculaneum.
The brother of that most virtuous
of French mouarchs,Bt. Iuis. was nn
infatuated dicer. Charles Vl.'s broth
er used to win all his money from him
and force hiiu to pay. Constable Du-
Gueselin, the greatest of Gallic war
riors of his time, amused himself dur
ing his long imprisonment hv gam
bling all his property away. Philbert,
Prince d'Orange, who Inwieged Flor
ence for the F.nineror Charles V.,
gambled away all his soldiers' pay
when they mutinied and actually sur
rendered to the enemy, who were
about to capitulate.
Gaming iu Russia and Germany, up
to a few years ago, held quite as much
prominence as elsewhere. Aix la
Chapelle was the oldest German gam
ing resort, and previous to the creation
of Homburg and Haden, as play
centres, colossal contests at chance
went on there. In 1873 an Irish lord
lost over SIOO,OOO there at billiards.
A little Italian adventurer on a stake
of $5 won $50,000 at hazard, Inst it,
won it again, and finally went broke.
At Homburg an unlucky Muscovite
lost a million francs iu six weeks.
The gaming proprietors at Haden
Baden paid $05,000 a year for the
privilege of the tables, and contracted
to spend $125,000 in beantifying the
place. The obscure games at Bpa
netted their proprietors $200,000 au
nually. Homburg was run by a com
pany, regular dividends being paid on
the bonds, and S2ii.WJO Jl y <,lir lieeuae
passing to the of Jlcsae-
Homburg, Wiesbaden and Monaco
were simply gold mines.
In Kngluud gambling prevailed ex
tensively during the reign of Jlenry
VIII., the king himself being a game
ster of the most unscrupulous sort.
But the real age of gaming in Albion
commenced about 1777, with the so
styled club-houses. At the Carlton
Ilouse, in Bull Mall, play was con
stunt. A few years later, Morley's
gambling house became famous for the
number of young clerks who plunder
ed their masters in order to play
there. Faro was the favorite game at
first. When it dropped out of fashion
maeao took its place. Hazard was
never entirely neglected, however, and
whist began to be played for stakes.
NValther's club, so-called after an
old chef of (>corge IV., who ran it,
was a favorite resort, Beau Brum
tuell was one of its staunehest support
ers. The I luioii, (,'ocoa Tree and (Ira
ham's also saw very heavy play. At
