EUROPEAN LETTER.
Editor Republican :
More than three
months have passed since I last wrote
3 ou a few linc3 from this distant land.
ince then I have seen bo much, and
vhited so many places of interest I
rarcely know where to begin.
We will pass by Germany's busy
;)Uol, Berlin, so well known to many
your readers, and travel down
ough Central Saxony, until we
ah. the more beautiful and more
- asant, but less known city of Dres
a, Saxony's proud capitol.
Dresden, of which mention is first
.aide in the early part cf the 13th
ntury, became tho resident city in
' ;S5, and through August II., sur
ued August the Strong, was en
:ed, strengthened and beautified
y means of the fine public buildings
hich he had erected during the first
' :w years of the 18th century, and tho
iuseums and public parks which same
i ito existence during his reign, and to
horn Bhe owes much for the reputa
u which she still bears to-day as one
the first European cities of art.
' 'resden, at piesent, contains 198,
ii) habitants and ia considered the
tiest city in Saxony, and well doe9
merit her proud distinction, for
Las certainly reached the top of
.t. mount of beauty and can justly
i Lint her glorious banner there. Sit
).aed as it is on either bank of the
! ihe, which is spanned at this point
' thrco Cue stoue bridges, surrouuded
beautiful scenery and romantic
apes, the environs of Dresden

many. The streets are wido and well
shaded, the parks numerou, a monu
ment hero and there, fine residence",
nice privato and public gardens, in fact
all that tends to adorn a city and make
it a desirable place in which to live.
The Saxons themselves think there is
no such. place in all Europe as Dres
den, but we must remember that they,
possessing all the bins of doting child
ren, ate partial to everything that be
longs to Saxony. -The
celebrated Gallery of Paintings
owes much of its present completeness
to August III., who was, properly
speaking, thef founder, and who during
the thirty years intervening 1733-65,
purchased many of the most valuable
pictures. New additions of more
modern works, however, have been
added from time to time to the then
rich collection, until now the Dresden
Gallery is said to have no equal north of
the Alps. It contains many of the
best works of the most celebrated mas
ters of olden limes. An entire room
is given to Rafael's world-reuowned
Madonna, (Madonna di San Sivio'),
which was added to the collection as
early as 1753 and for which $45,000
was paid, but the same could not be
bought from the Government for $1,-
000,000. There is something really
remarkable about this picture.
The room is always full of visitors
and some sit for hours with their eye
fixed upon it as if there were some
thing magical there. I know from ex
perience I can sit there several hours
without growing weary. Tho longer
you look at it the more you see -and
the greater becomes the enjoyment.
Although few of my readers may have
seen the original, I dare say all have
seen copies of this most noted work
of Rafael. There are hundreds of oth
er master pieces there from the old
Italian and Dutch scholars that are
valued very highly. Rafael, Van
Ityck, P. D. Rubens, Lucas Craoach,
Duerer, Snyder and I. V. Eyck are
well represented.
Among other things worthy of a
visit in Dresden is the so called
Grunes Gewalbe (Green Vault), which
contains a valuable collection of small
but raie works of art, diamonds,
pearls and precious articles in general,
and n considered tho richest collec
tion of the kind in Europe. Why it
is called the Green Vault I am not
prepared to say, for it is neither a
vault, nor is it green. The collection
is arranged in eight rooms or apart
ments and only one bears any resem
blance to a green vault, and it is Bim-
ply green without the vault the walls
being of that color. The man who
gave them that name perhaps wanted
to perpetuate his memory by leaving
behind an everlasting namesake. The
first room contains works in bronze
among which are the riding models of
Charles II. England, Louis VIV., and
August the Strong; the second con
tains elegantly carved specimens of
unique workmanship from solid ivory,
the most noticeable of which is a piece
representing ninety-two angels in a
flight, and is cut out of a solid piece
of ivory eighteeu inches high. Also
a Dutch frigate complete in every re
spect, which must have cost an im
mense amount of money and a long
time of tedious labor to bring it to
such" a state of perfection. This, too
is cut from solid ivory ; m the third
are fine specimens in enamel, amber,
corial,- mother-of-pearl, etc. The
fourth, articles in gold, silver and
glass. The fifth, sixth and seventh
rooms are rich in various works of
wood-carving, artistic designs in onyx,
jasper, agate, wax and the like; but
the eighth surpasses all the others in
worth; it contains the diamonds an)
pearls and articles innumerable, in
laid with these precious jewels. The
large green diamond we-ghing 1C0
grains is one of the finest of the few
large diamonds known to be in uny
person's possession. A piece ot orna
ment in the shape of a kuot or loop i
inlaid with 662 of the finest brilliants;
necklaces of diamonds, sword hiJt 6et
with pearls and brilliants in such pro
fusion as if they were the cheap
article of ornament to be found : rin"?.
among which are two, at one time the
property of Luther, and one that of
Melauchthou. I have heard these dia
monds alone estimated at 810,000,000.
Saxony saw prosperous days ut one
time or there never would havo been a
Grunes Gewalbe. No more than six
persons are admitted into the rooms at
a time. You aie shown around by a
guide who explains everything, and
tho eights you see there fully repay
the curiosity seeker for his visit and
; fi.o -fventy-five cents admittance fee.
I have seen Indies grow rapturous over
these sparkling brilliants, and have
heard them uso more superlatives than
I nm able to do.
There is also the Royal Library
with its 400,000 volumes 500,000 leos
however, than the one in Bui lin 4000
autograph letters of celebrated poets,
historians and other writers of note,
who havo long since left this world ;
30,000 maps, together with several
thousand old manuscripts written upon
all sorts of material imaginable, filling
iu all threo halls and twenty-four
rooms. And ho who visits the Histor
ical Museum, which contains an im
mense collection of historical wenpoiis,
armor, household articles, wearingap
parel etc., will well be remunerated for
his time and trouble. To attempt to
give a description of what is to be seen
here would fill several columns. There
is everything from Napoleon's I. boots
which he wore at the battle of Dresden,
the sword and three cornered hat of
Peter the Great; toe sword of Charles
II. of Sweden, and the broken horse
shoe which August the Strong is said
to have reut with his hand, to the ele
gant riding-armor of Ileury the Pious,
Elector Moritz, Christian. II. and nu
merous others, which are ornamented
with gold, silver and precious stones;
flags, battle-axe?, cross-bows, and im
plements of war of all nations and of
all ages. Iu one room I recollect see
iug a glass case the blood-stained and
ragged sush which Elector Moritz
wore at the battle of Sieverhauseu in
1553, and just above on' a little shelf
within the case, the ball from which
he received hia death wound. Show
cases filled with tlme-woru, swords,
helmets, shields, pistols and battle
knives, ornamented with gold and sil
ver, even pearls and diamonds, and
thus we pass on from room to room
until growing weary looking at Lu
ther's driuking-cups, and the blood
stained clothing of bravo old warriors,
we pass down tho stairs and out into
the fresh air. .
The Opera House is the finest in
Germany aud the. troupe has among
its number som of the finest singers
iu the country.
In a little house in Kornor Street,
designated by a plate fastened in the
wall, Shellcr lived duiing the years
1784-86, and in the same house was
born in 1791 Germany's honored poet
and soldier, Theodore Koruer. In a
little house in the woods, about "an
hours walk from the city, Schiller
wrote his Don Carlos, and about the
same distance up the Elbe stands the
building in which Carl von Weber
composed his operas Freischutz aud
Oberon. Thus we can scarcely walk
anywhere iu the vicinity of Dresden
without treading on classical ground.
I have penned these lines in the
pleasant little town of Diessenhofon,
on the Rhine, Switzerland, in which
at preseut resides Tiouesta's former
merchant, Samuel Brandenberger
Samuel is in good health, and, iu com
pany with hid two brother, who, by
the way, are perfect gentlemen, does
an exceileut wholesale business in the
line of under-clothing which they
manufacture themselves. Samuel has
shown Mr. Banj. May and myswlf
much attention and has added greatly
to the enjoyment of our visit iu this
place. I believe I express the senti
ments of all his Forest county friends
when I say: May he ever prosper.
Yours, Ciias. Bonner.

"I Must Lie Down and Die."
The following is an extract from a letter
dated July 21, 1877, to the discoverer of
Betlicsda Water, 'ihowrderis the Rov.
T. H. Fuller, D. D., I). C. L., Rector of St.
Gregory's Church, Toronto, Archdeacon of
of Niagara, ete., etc. Tho writer, ut the
age of 60 years was a victim of S'acii( trine
Diahetex. 11 is pin sieian said (to uso Dr.
FuUoj'h words) "ho could do no more for
me thrtii ho hud doire: that my disease was
incurable, and that i must lie down and
die." pVo should state hero, en parenthe
aix, that our townsman', Joseph Fleming,
Esj., is tho sole undonli authorized agent
for this wonderful water for this Stato, us
well as for Ohio and West Virginia. To
return to Dr. Fuller: "In four days," he
writes, "alter taking tho Water, I obtained
relief, and since that time I havo taken no
medicine, consulted no medical man, and
presume, if I could give, myself reasonable
rest, I would bo quito well."
Such testimony, from such a source,
should iudeod hare convincing weight.
