Visit to the Great. Porcelain Factory
at Meissen—The Town. and Castles
Correspondence of Philadelphia Evening Bui
DRESDEN, Jan. 4, 1868.—A more interesting
subject for the opening of a letter to the Bemire
me could not be found than our trip to Meissen
to-day, where we visited the manufactorY in
which the celebrated Dresden china is made.
After a cold ride of ten miles along the Elbe,
passing a succession of charming winter scenes,
vine hills, old towers, groves, mbasters, and wind
mills that might have borne an encounter with
Don Quixote, and held their own, we. reached
Meissen, a town built in terraces, the oldest por
tion occupying the heights, and the newer run
ning along the banks of the Elbe, containing a
population of eight thousand inhabitants.
Our party consisted of two ladies, another one
and myself. Employing a (Herdsman, or guide, to
conductos by the shortest route to the factory,
we soon entered an immense building, formed
in a hollow square, and five stories high. On the
first floor the porcelain ware, completed and
ready for sale, wan exhibited. Chandeliers,
cantielabras, ormanented with a profusion of
fine flowers, and painted exquisitely, made en
tirely of porcelain, elegant vases, with richest de
signs of the - season, or copies from most cele
brated paintings of saints and heroes, with the
expression wonderfully true--oval medallions Of
Raphael's, Mnrillo's and Corregio's, Madonn as, fin
ished with porcelain gilt-frames, that defied de
tection—card-tables, with the loveliest Venetian
scenes, their coloring so rich and soft, that it
seemed impossible they had ever been baked in
an oven ! But I must not anticipate.
Entering cur names in the registering-book,
and paying seven groechens; or about fifteen cents
Nplcce, we were furnished with a guide, who con
ducted us through the factory, beginning In the
composition-room, where the clay and ' water
mixed are left for some days to form paste, the
consistence, of course, being according to the
articles for which it is required. After it 1 8
moulded into dinner-plates, or vessels of service
of any description, it is so chalky or crumbly
that the slightest touch will powder or
I mar the article. Bowls, basins, and all
round, deep dishes are placed upside
down cn a stand like those milliners use for bon
net-shows, that revolve when moved by is
crank under the moulder's feet. The rotary mo
tion inakea .the inside perfectly smooth and
round, while a knife and pointed stick, used with
marvelous accuracy, shape and elaborate the
outside - as the operator fancies. One fact we no
ticed was that the finer the work the older the
workman, with but one exceptisit. That was a
pale-faced boy, with a spinal affection, who was
so absorbed in the copying of Raphael's Ma
donna, that before he noticed our presence, we
caught the rapt expression reflected on his coun
tenance by his subject, and which gave
place td one of patient suffering when our guide
interrupted him for our benefit. The work was
eo beautiful that I could not resist purchasing a
copy—a porcelain medallion, oval, resembling
the finest oil painting when framed, about four
inches by three in size. In the factory these cost
nine dollars; imported to America, they would be
twenty dollars. In some rooms women are em
ployed moulding the arms, limbs, robes, veils
fine as lace-work, flowers, leaves, and edging
with fine steel Instruments the fringed dresses
of figures, or cutting out the traced patterns on
the edges of plates and card-receivers, with as
much case as a lady cuts away the ground-work
of a transferred collar'.
It is impossible to appreciate this porcelain
work till one has seen the labor of manufactur
ing it. After the moulding is finished,the articles
are placed in clay , vessels or crucibles, and ar
ranged in great ovens that hold as much as four
crates of china each. The door way is built up and
sealed with only an iron tubing with glass in the
end like a telescope inserted, to that the superin
tendent can see when the fire hut burnt out,
which happens in two or three days. After this
first baking, the tracing or designing of the pat
tern or picture is done; then the coloring and
gilding, and then back to the ovens for a second
baking. In the composition of highly glazed
china, feldspar and mica aro used with the clay.
After the second b r urning, gilded and highly col-
-wed articles-are-polished-with agates on wooden
bandies, the agate in every shape; like, a dentist's
instruments, to snit the flower, border or surface,
that must be polished.
The manufacture of porcelain requires artists,
not puildlers and daubers. The desks of these
artists are arranged in line, the rooms inn beauti
ful order, decorated with flowers growing lux
uriantly in the warm and even temperature re
quired for the work; birds in fancy cages; works
of art, from which copies are chosen; and each
workmart or ,woman sits beside a window that'
commands a view of the valley of the Elbe, where
gems of natural scenery abound.
At the door of the factory we found our dients
man, with a sleigh—a small green basket .on
runners—with a Polish-looking individual, en
veloped in Inn, astride the dasher, to drivs us,
and the dientrman kneeling on [a leather step
behind the sleigh. The horse was yoked to a
pole that was fastened on one side of the sleigh,
and a single trace on the other. Of course we ran
sideways. Even in Dresden they harness in the
same awkward way, and going round the corners
is a performance as perilous as it is ludicrous to
behold. Away we went, up a spiral road that,
led to the old castle on the helEhts above the
town, through tunneled houses, over old battle
ments, and, at last, into the castle Yard, whore
the ancient tower, sixty feet high, and the gothic
castle and cathedral, excited our wonder and ad
miration. They were built in the thirteenth
century, by. Otto 1., Emperor, and Edith,
the founders of the Saxon lines. An
altar-piece by Cranach, of our Saviour
with the Virgin and St. John, in oil; also,a paint
ing on glass in one of the windows, by the same
artist,.were very-remarkable : . ter -their -Retract
finish and fresh appearance after so many years.
A sarcophagus in bronze of Frederick the War
like, and a number of brasses laid in , the aisles,
engraved with the effigies of the early Saxon
princes, besides hun,dreds of figures and group
ings In stone and marble of the Apostles and
Mirth Fathers,were specimens of the laborious,
elaborate and beautiful workmanship of the early
Saxon artisans. The castle formerly occupied by
the Saxon princes is now undergoing repairs,and
will at any time form a stronghold for future
refugees I Time presaes, and a party about atart,
ing on another excursion, urges the conelrision
of this letter; so good-bye till my next.

tiENV YORK, Jan. 30, 1868.—Our little village is
always In a state of excitement. First comes-a
murder, then a suicide, then another murder, then
a prize-fight, then a horrible accident, still an
other prize-fight, still another murder, a great
fire and one more suicide and prize-fight—all of
*hick are glowingly chnanieled by the daily:press, -
to the intense delight of the newemongers, the
Intense disgust of sober-sided citizens who dread
theAlnarcrash which shall place this pomorrah
aMittig the cursed things tbat were and are not.
Sometimes, to vary the horrible monotony of
prizefight, and murders,we have the record . of a
bold robbery . In open day, the swindling of a
shrewd firm, the bursting of a boiler, the escape ?,
of a Blackwell's Island convict, or the wholesale
arrest of those ranch-pitied Iteartiesis pests of
Metropolitan society, "fashioned so slenderly,"
who live by tainging...about. the...moral death of
others as well as of - themselves, and who die by
poison. by the knife, the pistol, or of diseases
worse than death, and are at last cut up for the
benefit of science and stowed away in Potter's
Field, "unwept, unhonored and unsung."
A few days ago (Friday) we bad a new sensa
tion. A poor little baby died at No. 147 West
Seventeenth street: So many poor little babies
bad died at the same place that suspicion was
excited. The Coroner went to the house, held an
inquest, and decided that the child had been
starved to death. One of the witneeses testified;
and many others corroborated her statements,
that the house has long been known as a sort of
lying-in hospital Tiog prospectlie mothers who
have never married ; and also, as an asylum (God
save the mark!) for their Ilk gitimate offspring.
"The dead child," said the witness, "was taken
there three week+ ago, and she agreed to pay $3O
for its care, until it could be adopted out, or
,hould die." The $3O did not last long. The child
could not be adopted out, and, of course, it died.
The Mrs. Putnam, alias Madame Parade, who
keeps this place, was bailed out, and her case set
down for trial at the next term of the court.
The case will never be tried. This is not the
only "boarding hotise" of its kind in New York.
There are one hundred known to the police.
Whether babes are starved to death in all of
them, as a regular thing, Is very probable. The
existence of these houses awakens 'serious reflec
tion as is what should be done to repress the ter
rible social evil of which they are at once the
outgrowth and the promoters. The class of wo
men who patronize them are not lawful. wives.
They are unfortunates who have fallen from their
(state of womanly purity, and in shathe and an
guish seek the first hiding-place to conceal their
dishonor. How many such care for the children
they bear? When the time comes for an
honest investigation , . into the social evil
and its results, it will be found, - that not
(tie child out of ten thus born ltves to the age of
sir months. It is asserted, on good medical an
tbdrity, that in a populous quarter of a certain
- -Western - city; not-it-single Anglo-Americarsehild
has been born alive for the last three years. Child
murder, even by the mothers of the victims, has
become too common to pass unnoticed. Even
the clergy are denouncing it. It cannot be worl
d( red at, then, that in a city like New York there
should be found slaughter pens in which the
business of infant murder is carried on by mon
sters in human form, whose object is not to save
a reputation—not to hide the one shame, which
above all others crushes the guilty woman to
cearth—but to coin money from the blood'of the,
innocents.
Tha gift enterprise swindlers are at the present
writing, in an uncomfortable state of suspense.
It is rumored that a United States law is about
to be passed requiring the immediate arrest of
every man engaged in such schemes as promises
to pay the subscriber grand prizes for his one
dollar. There are now at least twenty firms en
gsged in this illegitimate business, and it pays,
for the fools are not all dead yet. On Saturday
the "Merchants' and ,Bankers' Grand Presenta
tion Scheme," the fraud advertised by Clark,
Webster ,S:, Co. was again before Justice Dow
ling, Mr .- De Forest, of Brooklyn, had
purchased tickets. He received a note from the
swindlers informing him that he had drawn a
watch worth $3OO, and inviting him to call and
receive it. • He called and was requested to de
posit $lO. Mr. De F. wanted to see the watch.
It was handed to him. He pocketed it and walked
away but was arrested for theft and taken be
fore Justice Dowling, who advised him to enter
a formal complaint against Clark, Webster & Co.
for swindling. This he did, and the Justice is
sued a warrant for the arrest of the firm. On
this warrant Henry Elias, the head of the con
cern. and several clerks were taken into custody
and held for examination.
Kelley's concern at No. ;808 Broadway is an
other trap into which the unwary fall because
they will not read the papers. Another called
• Co-operative Gold and Silver Lead Mining
Association," located at 234 Broadway, promises
for $lOO to give you transportation (to which
point not stated), a year's maintenance, $lOO
dollars in wages, 160 acres of. land (location not
stated), and your share of the profits of the en
terprise. Let your readers, if there be any silly
enough to listen to these magnificent thieves, be
_ware of investing.'
The theatres are doing a lively bueiness. The
White Fawn at Niblo's, the :laps at the Academy,
Barnum's Son at Nobody's Museum (as the bills
have it), Lotta at the Broadway, and Lester Wal

ALBANY, Wednesday, Jan. 29 1868.—Detective
Kelley, of this city, to-day received a letter from
a gentleman in Dayton, Ohio, who is connected
with the insurance companies, who says:
I have visited Dayton, and learned the facts
connected with the taking of the little girl, Angle
Stewart: Joseph and Josephine Barney, alias
Brown, intented to take a neighbor's child, seven
3 ears of age and adopt it. The little girl had
a bad headache the morning Barney left
Dayton ; consequently, the mother did not
wish the child to go then, fearing that
she would be sick. Barney and wife then made
,propositions to Mrs. Stewart (the mother of the
murdered child), the result of which was that
At left with them at noon. Barney was to
stp in Cleveland some weeks and then return to
Dayton. It was agreed, if Angie became home
sick, she was to return with Barney; if not, was
to accompany Mrs. Barney to Hartford, Conn.,
and stay with them three months or more. Angie

to Mrs. Stewart. The party went direct to
Cleveland, and registered at the New Eng
land House as H. P. Matthews, lady,
and daughter. They went to the office of Mr. A.
Fuller, agent for an accidental Insurance com
pany, and procured policies for the woman nod
givirg_their.names as losephineand_Augle.
Brown. Barney did not take a policy for him
self, as be said be was to remain in Cleveland for
some time, and that his family intended traveling
a long time.. Detective. Muncie, of the latter
place, saw the parties in the and thought
that they were suspicious persons, and
watched them for some time. He learned from
a person who conversed with the little girl that
the -pretended = parents' .- bad - .I.‘sevalltd ,
upon the mother in Dayton to let her accom
pany them. On bearing this. information, Mr.
Muncie immediately wont to Fuller's agency to
learn their business there. He stated plainly his
suspicions that something was wrong, and left,

received no answers, and is of opinion that if
others bad acted upon . the informa
liewgiven, little Angie would have been alive to
day. Mrs. Barney bought a sewing-machine in
Dayton from a merchant there,
promising to pay
by monthly installments, and giving $2O down.
While in Dayton, they had a machine belonging
to-s poor woman who could neither read nor
write. This woman they caused to sign a paper
which they said would thew she had loaned it,
,but proving to be a bill_of sale. A t law suit grew
out of this, and the poor woman recovered the
machine.
Mrs. Stewart and family are not such people as
Barney and wife have represented. They are
poor but honest. When I visited them I found
the house in good order, and looking as if it had
been well attended to. Mrs. Stewart is a morn
bet, and has been for thirty years, of the Baptist
Church, and her daughters are said to be good
and >respectable girls. It grieves Mrs. Stewart
every deeply to learn that after her pet child has
been brutally murdered, the, murderers attempt
to charge dishonor upon herself and her other
daughters. Mrs. Stewart never heard from Angie
until the sad news of her death came.

Particulars.
(From The Baltimore Son of the Both.]
Mrs. Nattine Pollard, the wife of E. A. Pol
lard, who was committed to jail on Tuesday eve
ning, on the charge of shooting at and wound
ing in the wrist Dr. G. A. Moore, still remains in,
that institution, and will probably continue there
for-some-time, as she positively refuses to allow
any one to go her ball. Mrs. Pollatd appeared
quite cheerful yesterday, -and conversed freely
with all who approached her, but when
spoken to concerning her husband, who
hoe been absent from her for some
time, she invariably declined continuing the
conversation. She has a wound in the thick part
of her right hand, which she avers having re
ceived during the scuffle at Dr. Moore's store.
Mrs. Pollard told friends who visited her yester
day that having had her trunks and effects seized
by the proprietor of the hotel where she had been
left by Mr. Pollard, she on Tuesday wandered out
half frantic to endeavor to hear of or find her hus
band; that knowing that he had been intimate
with Dr. Moore, she went to the establishment of
the latter, where the affair took place, which will
likely lead to a judicial investigation. She, how
ever, disclaims any recollection of having fired
the pistol. In the jail, Mrs. Pollard occupies
one of the large rooms usually set apart for
United States witnesses, and, of course, will not
be allowed to want for anything in reason whilst
under the care of Warden Haney.

the city in a sleigh, when he returned to the bar
room to get his whip and buffalo robe. He was
accosted by Gambrill and a party of men whom
he bad treated two or three times, and who
insisted on his treating them again. He
declined to do so, and was im
mediately set on and beaten considers
ably about the face, the bridge of his nose being
fractured. Pistols were discharged, resulting in
Gambrill being shot—one ball entered the lower
part of the breast, another the back, while the
third struck his left arm. Young Clark was pro
tected by Mr. Steever from his assailants as well
as he could, and by him was secreted in a barn
near by until an opportunity was afforded of
bringing him to this city. Dr. Janney, of the
county, and Dr. Bailey, of this city, were sum
moned to render their services to Gambrill, who,
at last accounts, was alive, with a prospect of re
covery.
Suicide in New York.
[From the New York Times of to-day-.]
Last evening a melancholy case of attempted
suicide occurred at the boarding-house No. 245
Bridge street,Brooklyn. It appears that for some
time past Mr. Benjamin F. Bache, a young man
about 20 years of age, son of the Resident Physi
cian of the Brooklyn Naval Hospital, had
been prlymg his addresses to a young lady'
residing at No. 245 Bridge • street.
Bache's health bad been bad for some time,
and his conduct somewhat strange and capri
cious. On Wednesday night he called at the
house about six o'clock, and.was apparently In
good spirits. After talking some time with the
y oung lady, he looked very fixedly at her, and
shortly afterward left the house in an angry
oodovithout - anfeause -- hatine been-given_ to
put him out of temper. About nine o'clock
he returned and sent th% servant into the
parlor for the young •llidy, saying that
he desired to speak with her in private. The
lady went out to see him, and found him
standing in the hall, near the basement door.
After talking for some time with him Bache sud
denly produced a pistol and discharged the con
tents at hishead, the ball entering the right side
of his forehead and lodging in the back of the
brain. A gentleman boarding in the house ran
down from his room on hearing the pistol-shot
and cries , of alarm, and found Bache lying on his
back in a pool of brood, with the brains oozing
from the wound in the forehead. Dr. Regans
was•at once sent for, who rendered all the as
sistance in his power, but was unable to find the
bullet. Bache, who was quite insensible, was
conveyed to the hospital.
The pistol shot had entered the 'forehead on
the right side, two inches and a half abavo the
eye, and lodged in the brain. The young lady
was in an almost frenzied condition from the
sho - ck she had sustained. Young Bache is at
tended by his father and mother, and has a pri
vate room in the hospital, but has very little
chance of recovery.
A Nan Convicted and Sentenced to be
*fanged on the Testimony el an
Idiot.
(From the at Paul (Minn.) Press, Jan. 26.1
Yesterday Governor Marshall issued the death
warrant of Andreos Roesch, who was convicted
of murder in the first degree at the
November term of the District Court of
Nicollet county, and sentenced by Judge
Austin to bo bung on. Friday, the 17th day of
February next. Roesch was convicted of killing
a neighbor's boy, 15 years of age, Joseph Lan
rer, by name, by taking the boy's gun and beat
ing him over the head with it. The boy's body
was found two days after in a slough, where
Roesch had tried to conceal it. The provocation
for-the murder was injury done by Lauer to ono
Of Itoeseb'A cattle The 150 y -cut Mt - animal with--
an ax. The principal - witness was a boy of
Roeseb's, who testified that he saw his father kill
the Laurer boy. The witness was. proved to be al
most idiotic. De did not know his own age; did not
know the days el the week. Thought there were
eight days in a week, and ten hotel* La a day.
He confessed to having killed a neighbor's horse
_by _ :. At one tune htketklit . that he killed,
'the boy. It seems hard to "Inariesi.7 Ina - eon - totr
testimony of suvit a brute and idiot. Judge
Austin ' we understand, wants as little respon
sibilityas possible for hanging the man on such
evidence. Gov. Marshall, we believe, assumes
that the jury, composed of twelve gqod men,
wore the beet judges of the man's guilt. They
pronounced him guilty. If guilty, he ought to
euffer the penalty of the law.
AMUSEMENTS.
Cunt:l.ms DICKF.N3.—Thore was a universal ex
pression, last evening, of the opinion that Mr.
Dickens's performance of "Doctor Marigold" and
"Bob Sawyer's Party" was the finest yet given.
Concert flail was crowded as usual, and Mr.
Dickens appeared to be in more than usual force.
"Doctor Marigold" is one of hie favorite "read
legs," 11 not the favorite, and bad the charm of
entire novelty to a large portion of the audience.,
hundreds .of whom had never read the storf:
Cheap Jack (Doctor Marigold) tells his own
story to us with nroat artistic effect. 'True to
showman-nature he blends pathos and volubility,
satire and fun, tears and laughter, with a rapidity
and truthfulness that brings himself, his wife
"with a temper" the cart, the curly-headed child,
the gaping rustics, the giant, "otherwise Pickle
son," the adopted deaf and dumb girl, the hoarse
voiced Mita, "who swore fe-rocious," all most
vividly before his hearers. The children are Mr.
Dickens's pets, and there is no better proof of
the reality of his pathos than this. "Doctor
Marigold' gives him full sway for this pleasant
partiality, and he telleof the turiOns wite's bru
tality to his pet, of Door little Sophy dying, with
her head upon his shoulders, while he chaffers
with Ms stupid customers, of his other Sophy,
and the loye that grows up between them, of his
contrivances for her pleasure and improvement,
of her marriage, and of 'her return to the old
cart on Christmas Eve, with a spirit that shows
that he is fully in sympathy with his charac
ters and with his audience. On the languid
young giant, "otherwise Pickleson," Mr. Dickens
gets ofl a great deal of fan, and in Cheap Jack's
dissertation on the disadvant?ges of having a
wife with a temper, especially in a cart, there is
a grotesque and grim comicality that is irre
sistible.
"Bob Sawyer's Party" was done last night with
far more spirit than on its first representation,
and was exceedingly funny. Mrs. Ruddle seems
to us rather too studiously deliberate and polite
in her wrath, foil" her grade of lodging-keepers,
but "Bob" himself, and still more "Jack Hop
kine,ere both wonderful. "Jack Hopkins"
is, in tome ways, the moat effective of Mr. Dick
ens's characters in these "Readings." He is
more thoroughly individualized,—more abso
lutely unlike Dickens himself—than anything else
that he does. He told the "necklace story, last
night, in a. way that "brought down the house"
repeatedly.
To-night. Mr. Dickens gives "David Copper
field" and "Boots at the Holly-Tree Inn," which
will close the present course. The sale for the
two extra nights (February 13th and 14th) takes
place to-morrow morning, at Concert Hall.
There is no indication of any abatement in the
enjoyment of these entertainments, and there
will undoubtedly be as eager a demand' for the
next readings as there has been heretofore.

DR. J. IL SCHENCK : Dear Sir—l came to your
office last February in a very bad condition of
health. I had that awful complaint, dyspepsia,
in its worst form; could not eat, had sour
stomach, nervous, bad pain in the head, and, in
fact, Iwas really miserable. You told me it was
all caused by a deranged state of the liver and
stomach creating such an inactive state of the
system lbe stomach could not act, consequently
everyth ng soured that I eat. You recommended
your (Schenck's) Mandrake Pills and Seaweed
Tonic. I took them, and called twice to see you
a short time since, and can say now I am well and
in better health , than I have been for ten years. I
cannot speak too highly of your medicines. Use
this letter as you see fit.
Yours, truly,
R. M. JoNus, Gan. Broker,
.7 Pine street, New York.
We would recommend those complaining
with Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, constipated
bowels, sallow complexion, and having tried
everything without benefit, to call on Mr. Jones,
for such ones are generally In low spirits and
need a little buoying up or encouragement; to
try Dr. Schenck's Medicines in sufficient quanti
ties to unlock the ducts of the gall bladder, and
get the liver to secrete healthy bile..
General Ilardee's Opinion of Reneral

General Hardee (C. S. A.) attended a bar meet
ing at Selma, Ala., a few days ago, and made a
short speech, in which he referred to the soldierly
magnanimity of Grant ana Sherman, end of his
old classmate, General Meade, he said: I know
_him _well._ _Re Is_ emphatically a slidier and
a
-gentle-mar.—it - mail of - abilityi — horror - and --
integrity. He has come among us, under
- orders, to execute the laws of Congress,
which I know ho will do; without fear, favor or
affection. But I venture to say that in the exe
cution of these laws, there will, be as much of
kindness and generosity extended to the people
of the district as the nature of his duties will per
feelsrsaero4l4ot he Is•lree front partisaa-..

—When Mr. Lincoln was assassinated, the

about the Queen's letter." 'Tee," said Dob, "we
have been often asked about that letter; we have

woman's heart, and my mother and myself
thought it would not be right to publish a letter
written in the effusion of a woman's heart."
—"lt is not generally known,. we believe, that
the story or history on which Shakespeare
founded Macbeth, mentions Lady Macbeth as the
wife of Duncan. The Thane of Cawdor was a
frequent visitor to the castle of Duncan; and, as
he was a brave soldier and a gallant and interest
ing gentleman for that time, she fell in love with
him.. After a long intrigue she planned the
murder of her lord, whom she had grown to
hate; inspired Macbeth with her idea by appeal
ing to his ambition and passion, and so urged
him to the bloody deed, in which she assisted.
Such a plot, however, would have been too much
like Hamlet, already written and produced. on
the stage; and Shakespeare, therefore, who was
more an artist than has ever been shown, altered
the original story for the sake of variety and to
snit hie own purpose."
