The beauty and glory of Antwerp and
Cologne center about their wonderful cathe
dral churches. "When you think of Ant
werp you remember the sweet music of the
carillon raining down from the lonely spire.
And the thought of Cologne brings always
o vision of that vast roof uplifted into the
sky, upholding its two tall fingers in ever
lasting benediction. But the interest of
Heidelberg and X uremberg is of a different
kind. All that is best here centers in the
castle.
All the way along the Rhine, as you
watch the changing panorama of the shores,
you are impressed by this constant balance
of church and castle. Village after village
is built along the river, and every village
has one long street where every house laces
the water, red-tiled, timber-built, with
stair-cased gables, and of every hue and
Ebape, and beside every landing-place is
the same double row of green trees, each
trimmed exactly like the other, like the stiff
little forests ol the toy villages, and every
where are two great buildings which tower
tip above all other sort whatsoever. At one
end of the village is the church; at the other
is the castle.
It makes one think of the escutcheon
which is cut over the watch-towe' gate at
Heidelberg, on one side a lion with a cross;
on the other side a lion with a sword. It
takes one back to that old day when the
priest and the prince, and the En'peror and
the Pope, stood out before all other men and
strove for the mastery. Every village in
the Rhine V.illey is a symbol of it. To fear
God and to honor the king were the two
chief duties of men's lives in those times.
The Church represented one and the castle
the other. Along these shores, and in these
lands of Germany and Italy raged that
fierce conflict between the great powers,
political and religious, which makes up so
larce a part of mediaeval history. But in
the Rhine towns, as one sees them from the
deck of the steamer, the two are well bal
anced as they ought to be,
SIGNIFICANT BTJINS.
except that the castles are all in ruins
sow, while the churches are all alive, and
tounding every day to the voice of prayers
and praises. The church stands lor pe.ice
and love, while the castle stands for variance
and violence. The ruins are insignificant
when you think of that. You are reminded,
it is true, as you pass the great, thick-walled,
defiant fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, (-till
planted by the Rhine bank, ready for battle,
that the dajs ot violence are not qnite
passed. Everywhere on this side the water
you see soldiers. The streets are bright
with uniforms. At every turn yon come
Upon some man of war, or marching com
pany of them. .Nevertheless the symbolism
of the ruined castles is a true one. Their
day is gone by. The time of anarchy and
highway robbefy and turbulent barons agd
armored knight's is happily of the past. " e
are bound to have peace in these days, even
if we have to purchase it with dynamite.
The times are belter. Men are wiser and
kinder than they used to be. The castles
may well go to ruin.
The Rhine scenery is beantiful, but not
remarkably beautiful. Except between
Coblenz and Bingen, ittis even common
place. The Monongabela is as line. The
Rhine banks are more romantic than lovely.
Their interest is not so much in their shapes,
cs in their human associations. It is the
glass ot legend and historv through which
these shores are seen which makes the Rhine
perhaps the most delightful river in the
worid. "We saw the Rhine banksfrom be
neath an umbrella, and between rain drops,
but they made us unmindful of the weather.
Here is Drakenfels, where lived the
dragon which Siegfried killed. And across
the way is Eolandseck, where Roland built
a castle, so that a chapter for each of the
two great mediaeval epics is written on
these two banks. Here is the head office of
the Apollinaris Company, whose sign brings
us back into the present day. All along
are terraced vineyards. Prom this fine crag
the Lorelei of the old ttories tempted her
victims to destruction. Tonder is Rhem
fels, the grandest of the Rhine castles, and
bevond is Sooneck the most beautiful.
Here is the Mouse tower, wherein the
wicked Archbishop Hatto was very prop
erly eaten alive, and beside it is Bingen,
"Fair Bingen on the Rhine."
MAYEXCE AND HEIDELBEBG.
And so the traveler comes to Mayence,
With its fine cathedral where the pillars
are guarded by sculptured bishops, and its
market place, where women in queer dresses
pell their garden stuff, and its square with
Thorwaldsen's Gutenberg standing in the
midst of it And a railway journey brings
us to Heidelberg.
Heidelberg Castle stands on a great wooded
mountain, looking into the long valley of
the river Seckir. Six hundred years ago
they laid the first stones ot it. Since then
what scenes have been enacted herel "What
beauty of color in the old banqueting hall
where knights and ladies leasted with counts
and kingsl What ringing of armor in these
vaulted passages when the alarm of war
rounded Irom one of the great towers! Louis
XIV., of variously unpleasant memory, finst
made a ruin here, making a good long mark
in the score which Germany holds against
Trance. What was then rebuilded was
struck by lightning in a great storm 100
years ago. "it lies now unrooted, vine
covered, with ragged walls against the sky,
and the windows open to all weather, crown
ing the hill top with the most magnificent
pile of ruin in Europe.
Outside, where its walls faced the world
presumably a hostile world, all men being
accounted enemies till they could prove the
contrary, "stranger" and "foe" being the
same word in the language of that day,
actually synonomous outside, the walls are
grim enough and blank enough. They
tower up, with strong fortifications at every
angle, and high places to look out from,
. strong and defiant. But you cross the
bridge over the old moat, and get into the
courtyard, and everything is as beautiful as
art can make it. Here are the fronts ot the
great buildings, and they are covered with
great carved marble statues of saints and
heroes. Charlemagne and David, Justice
and Jupiter, and scores more, still standing,
unbroken most of them, against the un
roofed walls, and between the blank
windows.
STRANGE RELIC OF THE TAST.
Away down below, beneath the ground,
in one of the countless subterranean Chambers
is the great tun, the biggest wine cask in
the world, empty now, but thrice in its
history tall anddrawn out glass by glass to
quench the thirst of knights and ladies.
You climb up a considerable distance of
stairs to get on top of it. Forty-nine tbon
Bond gallons, they.say it held a singular
relic of the past.
' I have uevcr seen anything sJ beautiful
in its appeal, both to the eye and the im
agination, as this majestic ruin. You rest
in the shadow of its great walls, or look out
nrrr it far the summit of one of Its high
picturesque mediaeval past. The banners
flv, and the trumpets sound, and the horses
with their armored riders clatter across the
drawbridge. ,
The castle gardens are excellently trans
formed into beautiful pleasure grounds,
where a band plays, and the drinking of
beer goes on, and young men and maidens
stroll about the shady walk. After all,
life in its essentials has not changed much
since the Middle Ages. '
It rains this morning at Heidelberg.
Away up in the highest storv of the Schloss
Hotel we are in the midst of the low-hanging
clouds. "When the wind blows, and the
clouds move before it, the streams of rain
follow as if some giant up aloft were water
ine the castle with some gigautic garden
pot Beyond are the green hills. Below is
the winding Heckar. .
The next stop is Nuremberg. A night
here and the next there, is the order of oar
journey, hastening on to the Passion Play
at Oberammergau.
EUBOPE'S QUEER OLD TOWN.
Nuremberg is the queerest old town in
Europe. The streets are narrow, with side
walks so scanty that most people walk in
the street, with great high houses, terminat
ing in steep gables, cut like meeting pairs
of stairs, ascending to the regions of the
moon, with picturesque oriel windows out
in front, ornamented with carvings, roofed
with red tiles.
It is in the St Lorenz church in Nurem
berg that that curious carved marble cibor
ium stands, a place for the consecrated com
munion bread, resting on the floor, and reach
ing up, story after story, each more graceful
and rich and slender than the other, till it
not only reaches the top of the choir ceiling,
but curls over along the bend of the arch.
It is in the St Sebaldns Church that the
wonderful bronze shrine stands, keeping
men mindful of that saint, whose name and
holiness is about all we know about him, to
whom the good Nurembergers long ago let
up this church the shrine adorned with a
hundred figures, apostles above, and saints
and fairies, a queer and most significant
medley, below.
Here, too, is a tombstone fit to match with
Diana "Warburton's at Chester. The figure
of a dreadful skeleton is pictured between
the two tablets wnich contain the names of
the Tucker family, a skeleton, part fleshed
with crawling worms resting in its stomach,
and having written over it in German: "I
was once what you are; by and by you will
be what I am."
But the most notable thing in Nuremberg
is the castle. This castle is not in ruins like
the Schloss at Heidelberg. It is used still
as an occasional residence by the royal fam
ily of Bavaria. So that it has some modern
interest Its great stoves ot earthenware,
variously shaped and colored, enameled,
painted,"are worth seeing not a bit of iron
visible, stoves which glow and shine like
decorated china, and are actually orna
mental which with us is an unheard-of
quality in stoves.
A Vf ONDEBFUIj W ELIj.
In the courtyard is a great live tree, about
which, tradition says, justice was adminis
tered nearly a thousand years ago. In a
comer of the courtyard, nnder roof, beside
the square tower, descends the old well, so
deep that all other wells seem but shallows
beside it You pour a glass of water into
the darkness and you may leisurely
count six before you hear the sound
of the splash beneath. Or you
may pour it in six plashes, and presently
below you hear the answer, one, two, three,
four, five, six. All but 30 leet of this deep
well is cut in solid rock. That was the task
with which for 30 years the lord ot this castle
gave his prisoners exercise. Away down
below near the surface of the water is a black
hole which marks tbe entrance to a sub
terranean passage, the other end of which
emerges in clear daylight half a mile away.
If worse came to worse in some time of pro
tracted siege, here was a way ont
But most interesting of all were the in
struments of torture! Here vouget back
into times which were darker than the deep
well. You can see instruments of torture,
of course, in a good many places. You
can go to Madam Tussauil's "Chamber of
Horrors" in London and view them in the
cheerful gaslight But here in the Nurem
berg Castle all the surroundings deepen the
impression. These devilish things were
made to be used, and to be used here; and
here, where we stand, they actually were
used, till the walls which echo to our voice
rang loud with the cries of the tortured.
You may put your own thumbs, if you will,
into those thumb screws where men's
hands have bled and give them a gentle
squeeze by way of finding how it felt Here
are finger smashers that go with the thnmb
screws. And flesh pinchers working like
sugar tongs, and sharp
LIKE GREAT IRON HANDS
with sharp points in place of fingers. Here
vou see how the operation of "breaking on
the wheel" was done. Upon this bed, ont
of which at every loot rise sharp iron pro
jections, wide as the bed and six inches
high, they laid tbe man. And they took
this heavy wheel, bound with thick iron,
and grasping the spokes with both hands
brought it down upon the body in the spaces
between the projections. A man would be
broken into twenty pieces when that dia
bolical wheel had gone over him.
Tbe climax ot this barbarism is in a heavy
iron figure, hollow, three inches thick, with
a double door in front, made in human
shape, and named the "Iron Maiden."
"Upon the doors which are meant to close in
upon the mau imprisoned in this narrow
cell, arc long spikes, on one door for the
breast on the other for the throat, with one
lor each eye! These grim doors have shut
upon their victims more than once. And
aiter all was over, a trap door has been
opened from below, and a mangled body has
dropped quietly through thij castle's floor
into the water of the moat.
And we turn away from the torture cham
ber in the Nuremberg Castle, and set our
faces toward that Bavarian village, where
men are commemorating in living pictures
that revelation of God's love which He
made who died upon the cross, that He
might drive nnbrotherlines, and cruelty,
and all other deadly sin out of the world.
Our journey lies toward Oberammergau.

THE
FALL OF A PREMIER.
The Wonderful Career of Missionary
Baker on the Isle of Tonga.
HE BDILT UP A LITTLE KINGDOM.
Under
tho Cloak of Kelfglon He
With the Tyrant's Hand.
EnM
COMPELLED TO FLEE FOE HIS LIFE
Within the fortnight advices have been
cabled from New Zealand to the effect that
Mr. Baker, the Wesleyan missionary who
was Premier of Tonga, has arrived at Auc
land. It is further noted that Mr. Baker
was expelled from Tonga, the native chiefs
having signed a documentdeclaring that the
populace would kill him if he remained on
the island.
Thus obscurely in half a dozen lines of
print is announced to the world the end of a
romance of the South Seas which is so
unique as to demand a chapter to itself in
the annals of the shady doings of adventur
ers. The cloak of religion has been drawn
about the principal actor of the comedy,
which, by a narrow chance, has escaped a
tragic end. The Tonga men, almost alone,
of the South Sea Islanders, have never prac
ticed cannibalism, at the time of their dis
covery they welcomed Cook so heartily that
he gave their home the name of the Friendly
Islands, a name which they have done noth
ing to. forfeit; their very traditions have
little to record of fighting, their mot re
nowned ancestors are famed only as fisher
men and lawgivers; they carry non-resistance
so far that they are often held effem
inate, even if not cowardly. Year in and
year out they havo endured a tyranny
which has sought them out in their homes,
and at last they end it not with bloodshed,
but by announcing their regretful fear that
the chiefs will be unable to prevent murder.
The hint was sufficient, the oppressor fled, jg
HOW BAKER ROSE.
When the evangelical territory of the
South Seas was parceled out among the sev
eral missionary societies of Great Britain
Tonga was assiened to the Wesleyan So
ciety, and a ter some existence as a direct
dependency of the English Wesleyans was
finally transferred to the care of the denomi
national Conference in Australia when tbey
became strong enough to undertake the
charge. Among the missionaries laboring
in the Friendly Islands at the time of this
transfer was Shirley Baker, then a young
man, in no wise distinguished from his com
panions. The transfer to the colonial Con
ference for some reason displeased this mis
sionary, and he testified his disapproval by
reporting to thesociety in London: Forthis
act of insubordination he was duly disci
plined. Political complications arose in Tonga
which proved more attractive to the young
missionary than the small pleasures of
snubbing a distant conference of ministers.
The new civilization called for a readjust
ment of the loose relations of savage life.
The chief in the island which was the center
of Baker's evangelizing labors was one
Tubon, who had been baptized George. The
missionary played upon the ambition of
George Tubon, instilled in his mind the
hope of ruling all his neighbors, and set him
to wofk practicing the signature Geoigius
Rex. Owing to the inertness and jealousy
of the other superior chiefs, and mainly
owing to the political shrewdness of Baker,
the realm was constituted a sovereign State.
George Tubon was made King, and con
secrated according to the Old Testament
rites, a Parliament of the subordinate chiefs
and the village elders was created, the Wes
leyan Church was ordained as the establish
ment and King George at its head. Shirley
Baker was made perpetual and irremovable
Prime Minister.
DID HI3 WORK WELL.
In due time the new kingdom was recog
nized by the great powers, Queen Victoria
wrote to King George as her cousin and sent
him a medallon; England, Germany and
the United States, then engaged in sowing
the seed of future tumult in Samoa, jointly
undertook to see that all nations should
leave the Kingdom of Tonga alone, and
added an even greater benefit by agreeing
to keep away from it themselves.
This upholstering of a kingdom was not
the affair of a day or a year. It was well
done because slowly done, and while in all
things Shirley Baker was the directing
force, he so contrived his manipulations as
not to tread upon any toes, whether native
or European. In all that the new King did
he found it necessary to rely for guidance
upon his uselul Prime Minister, whoso
power grew apace with that of his master.
Baker bad not forgotten the public rebuke
which bad been administered to him
by that Conference, and was now
ready for a row, all the
more so since the chnrch of Tonga was not
only self-supporting by this time, but had
already been called upon to contribnte to
the expenses of the body which had sup
ported it in tbe days of its need. Baker
found occasion lor the rupture when the
Conference consigned to him a cargo of
Bibles and hymn books in the language of
Tonga. As head of the chnrch King George
refused to give this literature his sanction;
they were most emphatically not appointed
to be read in churches, and a version which
bore the great name ot the Premier-was pro
mulgated by royal decree. Hereupon the
Conference solemnly read Shirley BaKer
ont of its communion, as guilty of gross
contumacy. King George replied with a
note that the church of Tonga was an inde
pendent body, with himself at the head, and
the Australian Conference did not show a
Christian spirit in calling bis leading cler
gymen hard names. Thus Shirley Baker
cleared himself of his last thread of alle
giance. TAXED TOO HEAVILT.
But the common people of Tonga found
the new royalty a burden. Thev found
tithes at first" a mere jest, they could easily
undertake to give one-tenth of tbe product
of their labor to support the church and one
tenth to support the date, for they did not
labor. But the newParliament changed all
that, laws were passed that every one must
do a specified amount or labor, and the vil
lage elders were commissioned to see that
tbe work was done. As ii this double tithe
were not in itself a serious burdenrspecial
taxes were imposed, first fruits were de
manded, and, if any objection were offered,
the constitutionality ol the measure was
proved by reference to Jewish history.
Taxes were not tho only burdens, the com
munity gVoaned beneath a roll 6f laws com
pared"with which the old blue laws of New
England are made to seem enlightened stat
utes. The breaking strain was reached
when Baker issaed an order prescriping

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
European attire. This proved too much,
the obnoxious edict was repealed, but the
effort to introduoe trousers left the Prime
Minister and the people in a hostile atti
tude. There has long been bad blood between
them and Baker's expulsion is the result? of
years of bullying on one side and distrust
on the other.
Shirley Baker is an old man, King George
is an aged man far past fourscore, master
and man are near the end of the allotted
term. Back of them has arisen a new gen
eration with new ideas and new aspirations,
a generation which can never be content,
with double tithes and first fruits and blue
laws, a generation which has not failed to
notice that Shirley Baker missionary and
premier, has well feathered his own nest
YOUNG PRINCE WELLINGTON.
These men pin their hopes upon the heir
apparent, Prince Wellington, they look to
him now as they have done for years to free
them from Baker. But Wellington is a
prince of honorable instincts and wonld
allow no act of violence to cloud the last
years of his father's life, and to that sense
of honor Baker has owed his immunity for
the last ten years spent among a people
whom he has taught to hate him most
bitterly.
Prince Wellington has said that when he
comes to the throne nothing would afford
him so much delight as the head of Shirley
Baker upon a charger. The Premier knows
it, and as a precautionary measure keeps
his schooner yacht Sandfly in perpetual
readiness to sail and carry him to New
Zealand, where he has invested the proceeds
of his extortionate measures. That which
the Tonga lolks have longed for, that which
the Premier has been shrewd enough to
foresee, has at last come to pass, and Tonga
is free.
