ZED 'ERS FROM. EUROPE-NO. 8.
A Day at Frankfort-on-the-Main.
MentsicE, Plasma, August, 1868.
• In our steamboat voyage np the Rhine,
during our stay at Maycnce, we made an
excursion by rail, occupying one day, to
the most_famous and widely known Frank
fort-an-the Main. It is so named to distin
guish it from another town of the same
name in Prussia. It is a city of great an
tiquity, dating back to the time of Charle
magne,.l and is one of the most interesting
and important towns for the traveller to
visit iii thekingdom of Prussia. For many
generations and centuries it has been one
of the most wealthy and influential cities in
Germany. It was an imperial city. Ern
were elected, and after their election
were crowned in it, and Electors from all
parts of the German empire assembled
within its walls 'to consult and cast their
votes.. ,It was formerly a free city of the
Empire, and till 1866 one of the free towns
of the Oernian Confederation, .and seat of
the Diet, but is now Prussian. Fora long
time Frankfort' was independent, or free.
She stood almostVone on her independence
amony many dependent, States and towns.
Of her position she was proud. Her inde
pendence was her boast and cause of glo
rying. She bad her own army, her own
government and managed her own affairs;
but in the late war between Austria and
Prussia, she lost her independence and is
now subject to the Prussian government.
Her own government has been taken from
her as a consequence of mistaken zeal
in presuming to attack, with Austria, the
, government of Prussia. The people com
plain bitterly. They regret their present
conpition and say that they are willing-to
- be °entails but not Prussians.
The, origin of the name ' Frankfort is
somewhatTabgalar, - Frank means free, and
fort is from a German word meaning ford
or passage. In former times, and also in
the present, at the-bridge over the• Main, no
toll is charged. Every one passes over
gratis, it is a free ford or passage, and hence
the name Frankfort. The first bridge over
- the Main was built by Charlemagne„ and
in the centre of the one which now spans
the river, there is a large statue of the great
-conqueror, holding in his right hand a sword
and in his left a globe representing the
world with a cross on it. The Main flows
into the Rhine; it is a narrow but deep.
stream, and Frankfort_is situated on its.
Noith side,about thirty miles distant from
ldayence one hour's ride in the .cars.
Like all other European cities, its ancient
parts are easily distinguished from the
modern by their crooked and narroiv streets,
and the antique appearance of the buildings.
A.Style of architecture has been adopted
here which we have seen in no other city on
the Continent. Each higher story in the
• building projects out from, and over, the
lower story. he projections are from one
to four feet in idth, and the number of
projectections is determined by the number
of stories. !Thin a house of four stories has
three projections; a house of five stories four
projections, mid- so, on. The object of
course,is to give more room—to enlarge
the area within the walls without enlarging
the base or foil:An-16n of the structure. In
consequence of this Style of erecting houses,
the tops of dwellings on opposite sides of the
.same street are often not more than six or
seven feet asunder, while the street between
them is fourteen or-sixteen feet wide. In
walking alongsuch streets, often times you
-can see lint a few paces a head, so crooked
is the street, and but a small arc of the sky
above yon, so near are the eaves' of the
roofs together. In emerging from these
-crooked, narrow, and always dirty streets,
into thqse more recently built,and into parts
of the city more recently laid out, a strik
ing difference is presented. The streets are
wider, -and better' planned; shade trees are
along the side walks; the houses are less
-angular and more beautiful; projections are
not seen, and everything pro' eats an ap
pearance of greater neatness, order and
-comfort. • I
Let me now describe to your readers what
we saw in "Frankfort. On alighting from
-the cars, we first made our way to the
Romer '(Roman Place), given to the city
by one of the Emperors A. D. 1406. This
is a lowarched, gloomy, sombre-looking
building; but rich and grand in historic in
terest. ' Turning to the lett and ascending
a flight -of stairs you enter the' "Imperial.
Hall," a room. of about as near as I could
Judge thirty-five by fifty feet, the room in
which the .Emperor was once crowned, in
which he dined with thefElectors'and from
the balcony of Which he immediately after.
ward appeared to the crowd in the square
It is new a picture gallery, and around its
walls are splendid portraits, by the greatest
masters, of the German Emperors, !Agin
. ning with Charlemagne, of the tenth cell,
-fury, and extending down to Francis 11.,
who died in; 1806; forty-seven in all. From
the Imperial Hall we passed into the "Elec.-
tion Room ," now. occupid by the Chi ,
un
Cocil; but formerly used by tne Elea-ors
for consultation and the transaction of busi,
mess before casting, their final .votes. The
tapestried walls, the allegorical paintings on"
the ceiling; the clock, mirrors and furni-;
'tune (all except the chairs) are the same
now that th9y were centuries ago. l
From the Romer we wended our,
may to the celebrated and Widely : known
"Jewo' street," the birthplace of the Rothe
-childs, th - e - mnst wealthy men and eaten-'.
-lave bankers in"the world. I had read
many deiscription of this streetiLcillts ap
pearance, dirt, the houses on it, &c., but it
would-he almost impossible , for any pen to
exceed thereality. Jews' street is so called
because for three centuries and a halt, from
11462 to 1806, all the Jews in Frankfortmere:
-compelled by law tolive on it. The pre-1
Judice against thenf was so great, on sc.;
count of, their religious belief, that they'
were only allowed to live on scoria n street.
At.eaqh extreinityot their street there weal
`a gate Which was locked at night, on &in-!.
-days-and holidays, and .at those times• no
-Jew dare venture into any other part of the
`slay except Under a hea d "penalty. - 'Thus'
'Were they proscribed, and this proscription
cot tfnued till the beginning of the present
century. Jewe' streets one of tl most
crooked and filthy in Frankfort. It Is not

;Ulm is in large, unseemly figures made
with white chalk. Its number is 148. We
were sauntering along leisurely, looking to
the right,aud.lett. even; a woman called to
us fromihwwindoW of the tier:end - story of
st house near by *gag iyp .wero_not
looking for the Rothschild house, and re
plying in the affirmative, she said: "There
it is," and a few steps brought us to the
door. The house is not more than twelve
feet wide, four stories high, each story being
faced with slate, a style of architecture pe
culiar to Frankfort. It is evidently still oc
cupied by a Jewish family. I had a desire
to go in. The door was wide open, and
seeing all the way through to the rear of the
dwelling, I cared not go further. Here the•
Barons were born—men who, by the enor
mous wealth they have accumulated by their
industry and business capacity have com
pelled the notice and homage of kings and
princes. Their business house in Frank
fort is but a short distance from Jew street.
It is a plain looking building, four stories
high, the windows of the lower story being
firmly secured by heavy iron gratings.
Many of the business houses on Wood
street, Pittsburgh, present a better appear
mice. Leaving Jews' street, we made our
way along narrow, crooked and unsightly
walks to Hirschgraben street, the birth-place
of Goethe, one of Germany's ripest schol
ars, and her most gifted poet. The house is
-a good one, though very old. It is four
stories, with projections from the base of
each except the first. It was going into de
cay, but has been purchased by a society,
composed of the friends and admirers of
Goethe, and by them has been repaired and
renovated. Over the door is the following
inscription: "Johann Wolfgang Goethe
was born in this house, 28th Aug. 1749."
Not many squares from the place of his
birth, in the centre of a-platz formerly used
as a horse market, a fine bronze statue of
Goethe has been erected. He holds in his
left hand a wreath of laurels, symbolical, I
suppose, of the crown he.won by his poet
ical genius. •
Another place of interest to us in Frank
fort was what is called the Luther house. It
known to those who are acquainted with
the events of the Reformation of the six
teenth century,' that in 1521 Luther was
summoned before the Diet at Worms. On
his way thither he stopped at Frankfort, and
remained over Lord's Day. Not
_being
allowed to preach in any of the Catholic
churches, he went to the second- story of a
house but a few steps from, the Cathedral,
and from the - open window addressed the
crowd below. There was great excitement
among the people at the , time. Luther was
on his way to Wormii to, appear before
Charles V. and the electors of Germany.
Over the front- entrance of the house in
Frankfort, from the window of which he
preached, is a likeness, in half relief, of
Luther, and around it a scroll, on which is
inscribed in Latin the passage he used as a
text: "In quietness and peace shall be your
strength"' Our mind, while standing
there, reverted•to bygone centuries, and to
the time when the voice of the great Re
former pealed like a trumphet through all
Germany, awakening.thousands to the en
- jeyment of new life in Christ.
I may say here - that we saw the other day
at Worms a noble monument to Luther and
his coadjutors. It is the beat, most fitting
monument, and most appropriate in design
of any we have seen in Europe. It was
begun in 1856, and the ceremonies of its
erection were held on the 24th, 25th and
26th of last June. It was a great occasion.
Many of the most eminent men in. Eurolie
were present. Kings and princesand states
men were there. In 1521 Luther stood as
the accused before Kings and electors. In
1868 Kings and electors and princes bowed
before Luther.' The monument is worth
seeing, and is a fitting tribute to the memory
of one who did so much for God and hu
manity.
We saw other interesting objects in
Frankfort, but of them I cannot now write.
Frankfort is the Wall street of Europefor
American bonds and securities. Men go
there from all quarters to buy and sell; and
in one of the banking house windows we
saw a likeness of Mr. Lincoln, a fifty dollar
bond and a ter. dollar greenback.
In the evening we took a seat in the car
and in forty-five minutes were back at May.
enee feeling amply repaid by what we had
seen. a J. K.

I hereby certify that I have used tobacco for thir
