'We left -- Innsprnek nt--zeleven-io'clock- -this
morning, and arrived at this great city—the
capital of Bavaria---abont six this evening.
The first part of our journey was still among
the beautiful scenery of the Tyrol, with which
we were so perfectly enchanted all day yester
day. After leaving Kufstein—a strongly ford
lied,pieturesque looking town on the Tyrolese
border4e took our leave very suddenly of
• that charming region, and came out on the
fiat,,level plains of Bavaria. It was like corn-.
,big down atn step from theLexhilaration or a
~fairy land, or the excitement of poetry, to the
pliiiu prose of every-day - life: — To - make - the
:''Cliarige more striking, a cold, pelting rain set
in,which has continued ever since. I was
- cheered on my arrival, however, by letters
from home.
Ml' ICfl, Tloirsd ay
. 1.: g June 9th, 1879.
:We have spent to-day in visiting some of the
• chief points of interest in this city. In the
several large galleries here we traveled
through vast acres of paintings, both ancient
and modern, without meeting more than two.
or three that were specially interesting or at.
tractive to us. After this we visited the "Hall
of Fame," a modern public building, in which
are preserved the - busts and statues of the sons
of Bavaria who have most distinguished them
`selves either inwarlikenchievements or in the
gentler arts of peace. In front of this build-'
Ling is a 'statue - which attracts 'the 'interest . of
; strangers, and is certainly one of the mos
- striking objects in the place. It is called " The
Statue of Bavaria," and consists of alcollossa t
female figure , in bronze. it is intended to
represent ,the genius of the country. The
figure itself is sixty feet in height, and stands
on a pedestal thirty feet high. A large bronze
lion stands at the side the figure. In her
,right hand she holds a sword, for defence, and
in the other, which is raised aloft, she holds a
wreath erownAlreworthy,,,
There is a spiral staircase in the interior, lead
_ ing up to the head of the statue, in which
there are seats for eight persons. Several
small openings iu the head afford fine bird's
eye views of the city. The effect of the whole,
as seen from the ground, Is very fine. it is a
•
modern work, designed by Swanthaler, a Ba
varian artist of great distinction, and still liv
ing. We next visited the National Bronze
Foundry of this city, which has a world-wide
reputation for the excellence of its castings.
-It is here that the Lincoln monument, for our
city, of which 1 spoke at Rome, is in process
of preparation.
also
other works for our
country are also under way. Indeed the
whole force of the establishment seems to be
. employed in theexecution of different orders
from America. Several soldiers' nionuments
are in-preparation. . We sawn very large and
beautiful bronze fountain for the Central Park,
N. Y. It is nearly finished, and will add
" greatly to the attractions of that already beau
tiful place of resort. There is also a very ela
borate one preparing for a - gentleman in Cin
cinnati. Munich is a clean, bright, cheerful
- - looking city. But its chief objects of interest
are of recent: growth or formation. It owes
•. nearlyeverything it has of a public character
to the fostering care and liberal spirit of King
Louis 1,, the-grandfather-of the present
arch. It was said of one of the - Roman Ern
. peters that." he found Rome brieksliand left it
marble." Of Ring Louis I. it might well be
said that he found Munich nothing, and left it
what - it - is7 - 711.rotre -of -the-publi e-soriares-is -a
bronze column erected -to the memory or
20,000 Xav4rians, who were in the French
army of Napoloot I.,that - i nvatled Russia, and
lost their lives in that disastrous expedition.
An inscription on the base of the monument
states that they " died lighting
_ii)?•
/coal." Sacrificed to the mad ambition of a
re_cklest- conqueror, it seems strange that their
country men will allow so uublustung a state-
went to stand in the open face of day
passed it to-day 1 thought 1 would find out
the feelings of our Commissioner—au honest,
sensible Bavarian—in reference to it. So I
paused in front of the monument, and, point
ing to the inscription, as though I didn't un
derstand it, said to him, "What's the meaning
of this?" But he only shook his head and hur_
ried on, saying, " Ah, dat ish not goot; dat ish
not goot." Ho .evidently resented the bare
faced attempt to impose upon the common
*sense and intelligence of this enlightened age.
If the monument were simply left to bear its
silent testimony to the memory of the poor
fellows who were dragged from their homes
to die in the carrying out of schemes of ambi
tion which 'they abbored, it would command
be respect of all who look upon it ; but to
have it stand there proclaiming all the time
whatieverybody knows to be an unqualified
falsehood, is enough to excite the indignation
of every honest, truth-loving man.
Friday Evening, Jane 10.—Here
we are, a little off the beaten track. We fin
ished up Munich this morning by a visit to
what is called the Giyptothek, or national gal
lery of ancient art. It contains some fine speci
mens of statuary and sculpture that have come
down from early days. After having been
buried up for centuries, they were discovered
.by some enterprising Englishmen, while
Making explorations among the ruins on the
Island of ,Egina, and were bought by King
Louis 1., who did so much for Munich, and
given to the city in 1812. Their history is not
known, but from their evident antipity, at
well as from the skill with which they are
executed, they are supposed to be of the age
of Praxiteles, if not the work of his own hand.
We left Munich this afternoon, and have
just.arrive,d, late in the evening, iu this inter
esting old town, which has had so much to do
with the history and legislation of Europe in
centuries past.
RATISEON, Saturday .Afternoon, June 11.—I
love to visit these quaint old towns. There is
a charm in wandering through their crooked
streets and gazing on their queer-shaped
houses, that speak so plainly of the centuries
that have passed over them. Ratisbon is one
of the most interesting of this clasS of towns
Por'hundreds of years the Imperial Diet of
Germany met here.' Then it was often
thronged by the. great and distinguished men
of their day. There : is one street known as
the "Ambassadors' street." The different
nations there represented each has its coat of
arms in. marble, sculptured over the door of
the house in which its representative was
Lodged: The hotel in which we are staying
was formerly a palace. The Emperor Charles
Y. - lodged in 'it, while attending one of the
- • Diets, and Don John, Duke of Austria,
who gained the victory of Lepanto, was born
snit.
There is a fine cathedral and several in
teresting churches here. We visited the Diet
--Souse;-in which-the legislation_of_the-empiie
was so long carried on. It is a plain
old building, noW kept as a memento of the
'oast, and some portions of it are occupied by
/dim. Under this building are the prisons
and dungeons.formerly used,. and the " hall of
torture" remains as it was; and you see-pre
served here, from the darknnes, - the - fiendish
instrnineiats made 1180 of when < justice and:
. were L'so- outraged by the horrible
enornatikes perpetrated in their names. To
look upon the actual contrivances which
genuity devised to refine cruelty • and in
tensify suffering till every.joint was dislecated
and every — nerve -- and —muscle—racked-- with
anguish, makes the flesh Creep and the blood
run cold. .
One of the points of greatest interest to
visitors about this place is the Temple of Val
halla. It is situated on the banks •of the
Danube, about 5 or 6 miles from the town.
We took a carriage and rode out there. It is
a Grecian temple of the Doric order, .built of
white marble, surrounded on all sides by
columns, after the model adopted in our Girard
College. It was built.by Icing Louis 1.,- who
done so much for the improvement of his
country in works of art - in geifewal. - It - was
erected at a cost Of near a million and a half
of dollars, and is designed as a sort of Ternpl•
of Fame for Germany. finely located on
the summit of a hill, overlooking the exten
sive plains of Bavaria. The interior is 'zor
geously finished. The walls and floor are
covered with beautifully polished marble.
The floor shines like a mirror, and visitors, on
entering, are required to put on slippers of
thick felt over their shoes, to avoid scratch
ing the marble in walking over it.
Round the sides of the temple are placed
busts, in elegant white marble, of the most
distinguished warriors, poets, legislators,
artists and scholars of Germany. Those of
less distinction,. not considered entitled to
busts, still have their navies, in gilt• letters,
inscribed on the WallS of this' splendid temple.
For a long time, Luther, " though the
noblest German of them all," was not allowed
a place among these worthies. But at last
permission was granted him to enter,
_and now _his sturdy, honest form is
permitted - to - • - take its - place--among
his peers.- There can be no mistaking
- the man either, for the inscription ou the
pedestal—" Doctor Martin Luther "—shows
that iii 7none other than the great Reformer

Ratisbon this evening and take a night train
for Prague, so as to'spend Simday in the capi
tal of Bohemia.
lint sDEN, Monica Evening, Juno 13.—We
made but a short stay at Prague, but still it
was an interesting one. There was no
English service in the place, so that we were
dependent rather on seeing than on hem•-
iir!i for the spiritual improvement, of the Sab
bath, so far, at least, as public exercises were
concerned. We visited several of the large
Catholic churches, and gazed with special
interest in one of them on the pulpit in which
the martyr reforiner, John Hass, formerly
preached. The house in which he lived—or
rather the spot where it stood, for another
house has been built there—is cherished with
religious care. A large brass plate is fastened
to tbe-wall the - - , doori whiehlbeate the-'
quaint inscription: "Here lived Mister John .
-Huss.' On our way home from church we
passed
. Hie palace which formerly belonged
to that splendidly endowed, but heartless man,
WallenStein. It, is still - 1 ell - thi: -
seendants. We 'stepped in to take a look at
it. A magnificent pile it is. In
_one of the
rooms, stuffed and preserved, is the horse
which the Duke rode, and which was killed
under him at the battle of Lutzen, iii which
that - princely-man,-Gustavus-Adolphus, was
lost to his country and the world.
Prague is. 'finely
. sittiated . .on the riyer .
Moldau. The view of the city from the bridge
across the river is very imposing. There is
air old - stonc - bridge-that iras-a-- lot-of--statuary--
upon it, some of whiVniTS very odd. Anniiig
the best of them is a bronze statue to a certain -
St. John Neproulunte. The story of him is
that he was father confessor to the wife of on e
of the kings of Bohemia several hundred
years ago. The King was jealous o f his w if e .
and wished to find out some secrets she had
confessed to the priest. He demanded to
know what they were. The priest refused to
reveal the secrets of the confessional, and the
Ring had him thrown from the bridge into
the river. Then they say his body was re
vealed by some great miracle. This led to
his canonization, and now be flourishes
through Catholic Europe as the favotite pa
tron saint of bridges. Another piece of
statuary on this bridge represents three mar
ble figures in chains, writhing amidst the
flames of purgatory, with the inscription over
it, " Ora pronobis"—pray for us—to stimulate
the beholders to prayer. Before leaving
Prague we visited the famous black tower,
connected with one of its oldest palaces. It
was there that the prisoners of 'distinction in
former times were confined and made away
with. At the bottom of the tower is a dun
geon. The only entrance to it is by a circular
opening in the top. By this the prisoner was
let down with a cord. None who entered
there ever came out or saw the daylight. They
were left to die of starvation. In the bottom
of this dungeon is a hole leading to a still
lower den beneath. A piece of burning paper
dropped from the upper opening by the
guide reveals the gloomy scene to view.
When a prisoner was introduced into the
upper dungeon he would find the bones of
his predecessor there, and throwing them in
to the lowest receptacle, would have nothing
to do but wait until the .next unhappy victim
should come and nerforni the same oflice for
him. How horrible to think of the. days when
such dark deeds were done!" H. N.
Au Umbrella Romance
Here is a picture, and a pretty one. A
young man and a girl, both enveloped in cloakS,
and huddled beneath the scanty protection Of
a cotton umbrella. She wears rubber over
shoes; but he is in his dancingmnps, and they
are on their way, no doubt, to some cotillion
party, or subscription ball at a dollar a head,
refreshments included. Thus they struggle
against the gloomy tempest, lured onward by a
'vision of festal splendor. But, ah ! a most
lamentable disaster. Bewildered by the red,
blue and yellow meteors,. in an apothecary's
windoW; they have stepped upon a slippery
remnant of ice, and are precipitated into a con
fluence of swollen floods, at the corner of two
streets. Luckless lovers ! Were it my nature
to be other than a looker-on in life, I would
attempt your rescue. 'Since that may not be,
I vow, should you be drowned, to weave such
a pathetic story of your fate as shall call forth
tears enough to drown you both anew. Do ye
touch bottom; my young friends? Yes; they
emerge like a water nymph and a river deity,
and paddle hand in hand out of the depths of
the dark pool. They hurry homeward, drip
ping,diScolisolate, abashed, but with love too
warm to be chilled by cold water. They have
stood a test Which proves too strong for many.
Faithful,though over head and ears in trouble !

BRIDGEWATER, July 21, 1840.. The Bridge
water Soldiers' Orphan SOhOol Ih known as the
onlyAlistinctise _colored _sebeoLin the :State:__±l t
is located near Bridgewater., on the 'Philadel
phia " - and Trenton Railroatkabont seventeen
miles north of the Kensington • depot. It was
established on the 18th of June, 186 S. . .
Pre
vious to that date no particular provision had
been made for the children of our brave
colored soldiers who fell on.the field of battle,
and a Committee of the Freedmen's All
,So
ciety of Philadelphia, of which General Louis
Wagner was President, paid a visit to Colonel
Alc,Farland, to represent the injustice thus done
the colored race. Of course there was nothing,
in the act of Assaibly to prevent the: estab
lishment of colored schools, as all our soldiers'
orphans were to be educated and maintained
at the expense of the State. ,' •
Col. McFarland, agreeably to the . prayer of
the Committee, commissioned B. P. Hunt,
Esq., of Philadelphia, .a retired "niereliarit and'
a venerable philanthropist, to gather together
the colored soldiers' orphans in the State.
This task Mr. hunt assumed most cheer
fully, and labored most assidUouSly, to the
positive injury of his health, and -.without a
penny of compensation, expending from his
own fuuds freely. He traveled all over the
State, visiting the families of our colored
people wherever he went. At . first mothers
were unwilling that their children should be
taken from them, not then fully. comprehend
ing the benefits to be derived front the noble
'system inaugurated hy;Peunsylvania:: -In some
instances the parent offered personal violence
to Mr. Hunt, in his kindly mission. But soon
quite a number of pupils were gathered iu the
institution here, to whom the State Superin
tendent extended all the advantages possessed
by other schools.
The children were all clothed its are the
white inmates of Soldiers' Orphans' schools,
the boys in blue, the girls in pink, and no dis
tinction was made between the races. The
pupils soon showed their capacity for receiving
instruction., manifesting, : however, an „earnest . ;
ness in their new and novel Which
promised, and in fact premised, their triumph
ant success iu the paths of education. The
result was indeed encouraging,. and. the de
partment felt that it had done itself a credit in
establishing the institution.
The building is a large and beautiful one.
It had been what was known as the old Bris
tol College edifice, and was seen at once to
be admirably fitted for the purpose. . The cen
tral structure, which is of brick, is 60 by 80
feet, and is-four stories-high;-with—two=-Wings,
70 by 25 feet each, each three stories. The
whole building is painted white, and, has au
airy, commodious appearance, capable of hold
ing many more children than are
now in it. The vicinity : is well
supplied with shade trees. There is also a
farm-of fourteen- acres, reaching—down to the
shore _of the Delaware,,arid, the land is, ref
prodnetive. Here, as in other country scliools
table vegetables of all kinds are raised, and the
boys serve as farmers. . -
At the examination to-dayt here - were 165
children, or 513 girls and 109 boys. Last year
there were only 172 , “1116 beinetlie oniy school
in which . there has been an . : increase during
the past year; owing to the fact'that - the-insti
tution is comparatively new, and •no special
efiorts had before been made to gather our
colored orphans. It embraces as its territory,
too,Ahe_whole _Commonwealth, from the Dela
ware to Ohio, and from Lake Erie to Delaware,
so that--there are pupils here from nearly every
section of the State.
Their convocation in the school-room to-day
was an interesting sight. There were boys .
Mil s ofall sines and shades of color, from
four years old to sixteen, aulrfiViii — tW6J - e7t
black to the 'yellow and octoroon. But there
is no doubt that there is Some splendid Mate
rial for intellectual improvement—some good
scholars, in fact. No school within the opera
tions ofthe soldiers' orphan system gives more
promise for the future than Bridgewater. One
of the pupils—a boy—will leave to go to the
Lincoln University. His rapid advancement
here•hat'ibeen a matter of remark, and there
is little doubt but that he will graduate from
the University with high honors. do much
for a gloriously beneficent system, first
inaugurated by Pennsylvania, which knows
no sex, rank, race, or condition save that of
orphaage and the helplessness of sons and
daughters left fatherless by a cruel war in
which those who gave them life laid down
their all for the Commonwealth.
The institution is now governed by the fol
lowing teachers and employes, all of whom are
white :
Principal—James Stitzer.
Principal Teacher—Prof. James M. Strad
ling.
Second. Teacher—Mrs. Stradling.
Thir4 Teacher—Mr. Chas. W. McMahon.
Matron—Miss Lizzie J. Corbett.
Nate Assistant—Thomas Entrikeu.
Sewing Superintendent—Miss Bushy. •

There are-nine of the larger girls who can
now sew and knit well, and all the clothing is
made up in the establishment.
Col. McFarland, Prof. Gause, of Harrisburg;
B. P. Hunt, Esq., Agent of the Freedmen's'
Aid Society;"and wife, of Philadelphia; Rev.
Mr. Rink, of Bristol; Mr. Laing, of Philadel
phia ; Mr. William Still (colored), of Phila-.
delphia, Inspector Cornforth and others were
present at the examination, and the various.
grades averaged as follows :
Fourth (or :highest) Grade Spelling,.. i 0;?
reading, 82; 86; written arithrnetic,:
85; mental arithmetic6B ; drawing, 110..
Third Grade—Spelling, 66; Beading, 81 ;

72 • mental arithmetic, 80.
:Second Grade—Reading, ; Geography,
'l4; Written Arithmetic, 86; Mental Arithme
tic, 88.
Those figure's do not look mean, and they
deserve attention from the enemies of the ne
gro who are continually harping on. his
" incapacity."
To-morrow and day after, 140 boys and
girls will leave for home. 25, who have no
homes, will remain.
At the close of the exercises to-day, Colonel
McFarland made a little speech to the pupils,
encouraging and praising them in their work,
followed by a colored gentleman, Mr. Still, of
Philadelphia, who urged the chidren to in
creased diligence, pointing out for them a fu
ture of which they might be proud.

WILMINGTON, July 22.—Regarded from the
stand-point of a local reporter, this week opened
brilliantly with the series of accidents already
reported to you by 'telegraph, but the latter ,
part has been singularly uneventful and has
really, stripped the :earlier events of much of
their tragic interest. The little girl who dis
tinguished herself by • her high and lofty
tumbling from a third -story window to a brick
pavement still lives to tell the tale, and doubt
less will tell it, unless something more serious
happens to her. The gentleman who got
thrown from his carriage and butted his head
against a curbstone persists in getting better,
notwithstanding the predictions of his friends,
and will doubtless live to grade more railroads;
while the man who was sunstruck while work

Railroad smashed up two locomotives 'and'
slightly injured another. The latter is still in
use, but the other two will need extensive re
pairs. No one was hurt, and the ilagman,who
was blamed for the accident, was promptly dis
charged.
A large force of workmen is now engaged in
grading for the extension of,lhe,_Wiluaington
and Reading Railroadto its wharf' property on
the Christiana. This property is situated above
Harlan, Hollingsworth &' Co.'s shipyards,
and is deemed, by everybody too far up

shipments. Everybody feels that the road must'
go to the Delaware river or

A man named Harry Clifton was arrested on
Tuesday for stealing clothing. He has had a
sorvewhat eventful career. Young, well-look
ing, and respectably connected, with more than
average ability in certain lines of business, and
ev'ery incentive toward a respectable life, he •
seems to have air irresistible tendency toward
the devil. Some months ago he forged a check
vs ith the name of the President of one of our
largest manufacturing companies, and was ar
rested and committed to jail. He wrote an ap
-pealittg-altd_penitentletter_to the_gentletuaV,of_
Whose name he had made felonious use,
and finally, by letters and personal inter
views, so worked upon his sympathieS that
he took Clifton out of jail anrt,.gave him em
ployment in his own works. Here he worked
__steadily_for_a_titne, and his family.-.:is well as
his-benefactor rejoiced at the reformation
wrought by kindness. After a while, how
! ever, he tell into his old courses and committed
some act which led to the loss of his situation.
Shortly after he was arrested on a charge of
stealing some clothing and selling it, for which
he was tried at the last session of_ the. Court at
New Castle. He had no counsel, but after all
the evidence was in, on being asked by the
Court what he had to say for himself,

THE WAR IN EUROPE.
nu:lA:July 22.—The Journal °iliac/ pub
lishes a circular of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, dated the 21st, and addressed to the
diplomatic agents of France at foreign capi
tals. The circular tnentions the explanation
made on the 13th of July, in the Chambers, in
regard to the rapid events ,Of a negotiation, in
zehicli"as fast as we redould6d our efforts to
preserve peace the secret desighs were,developed
of an adversary resolved to render peace im
possible. Whether the Berlin Cabinet had
judged war necessary for the accomplishment of
their projeCts against the self-government of the
German States, or, hardly satisfied at having
established in.the peaitre. of Europe a. military
power formidable to all its neighbOrs, they had
wished to turn to account the power already
acquired by displacing definitively to the ad
vantage of Prussia the internationali brium,
the premeditated intention to refuse us guar
antees which were indispensable to our secu
rity, as well as our honor, showed itself by the
strongest evidences in their conduct and the
negotiations "
The circular then mentions the candidature
of the Prince of Ilohenzolletn; and declares
that " the Berlin Cabinet hoped to place the
3'rince Ou the throne of Charles' V. by surprise,
believing. .turope.. would .accept an.. accom
plished Met; and that Frarice,iti suite ofher
temporary displeasure, would hesitate to
oppose the expressed will' of the Spanish
people,. who were friendly, to :her. .The
French government, informed of the danger
from this ; intrigue, did not, hesitate
to denouncd" it to the representatives
of the people and 'to foreign powers. All
have.felt that' !Prussia was alone in her un
scrumtkpus policy, and that, knowing herself to
be without the support of a common right, she
has nevertheless sought to impose upon li:urope
further abuse of so dangerous an extension of
her influence. liranee took up the cause of the
balance of power, lmoWing it.to .be the cause
of all peoples menacedlike herself by the dis
proportionate aggrandizement of One- royal
house, In doing so she had not placed' herself
in 'opposition to her own maxims and policy or
those of the Great'Powers."
The circular cites as proathe case of
Creece and Naples, and the refusal'of the Great
Towers to allow any , of. their princes to mount
these thrones. ;
The circular then mentiOns.ihe withdrawal
of HOlie,nzolleru, the refuSal of Prtissitt'to give
.guarantees, and . other incidents , Which have
...followed acidity , : "France ought to deman
guarantees: , siuce.Trossia: fiad :already
`lien word that the Prince of. liolietizellern'
should:MA Mount:the throne' Of Spain. When-
March.'lSoo, there had been a question Of
:his candidature, the French Minister' at Berlin
told the'''Eling 'no- Prussian could reign in
ISpain.' Count Bismarck replied : ' , Franco
:need not concerti herself at a contingency so
improbable and Heir Von 'Mill, Prussian
Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, gave his
'word of hotior 'that Hohenzollern was not and
could not'be a candidate.' •
"If assurances tints solemn cannot be relied
(upon, diplothatic intercourse must cease. In
iepudiating such pledges Prussia challenges
France, who now only r dernands, in view of the
tergiversation, that the former: renunciation of- -
her depigfia,lie made real'anW,Ormanent."':'
-- -The • circular-concludes by declaring—that_
" history must assign to Prussia the responsi
bility for the war which she hed‘ t lie.:means of
avoiding, and which, while she affects to de
plore it, she- has' rather sofight,":and adds:
" Under what circumstances has she done this?
It is when France for four years ,last has re
liained, with almost exaggerated scrupulous
ness, from invoking against her treaties con
cluded under mediation of.„ the - Emperor, but
to which she has failed to give a voluntary
support. Mall acts.-of that governaient which
has only thought of means of freeing herself
from the obligations of treaties even while
signing theM, Europe has been a witness. Let
Europe pronounce upon the justice of our
cause."

•:netrie of the Corps'Legistatifi' addressed the"
Emperor as follows :
" Sire : The Corps Legislatif has terminated
its labors. It has unanimously voted all sub

fence, thus giving signal proof of its patriotism.
If it is true that not be who declares war, but
lie who causes it, is the real author,.there will

"In such a case France kno — ws - her duty.

To this the- Emperor replied as follows :
experience great satisfaction,
on the eve of my departure for the army, in
being able to thank you for the patriotic co
operation you have given 'my government.
War Is legitimate when it is made with the
assent-of the country-and the -approbation of
its representatives.
"You are right in recalling the words of
