Four Weeks on the Contin of Europe in the Month Of September, IS7S8,
FOURTH LETTE
Dear --~-, We left Lucerne with reiuc- tance, for it is alovely place. Arrived in Zurich about 6 p.m. Stayed there long enough to partake of the ‘* cup that cheers but not inebriates.” Had a pleasant little walk in Zurich. Took the train again to Schaffhausen, arriving thereat nine at night. Got into an omnibus and drove to the Schweizerhof Hotel in New Hausen, over- looking the ‘* Falls of the Rhine.” Secured rooms from which we could obtain a fine view, and were Intled to sleep by the roar of the cataract. The ‘* Falls of the Rhin: «
are not nearly so grad’ as those of Wises ; : but they are the finest in Europe, and have a picturesque beauty of their own. They are precipitated in three leaps over a ridge, andare divided by four limestone rocks before they make their final plunge. The best view of the Falls is from the Schloss (or castle) Laufen sice. You can go over the bridge to the castle, where there is a great variety of be aatifully- carved ivory and bone ornaments fur sale. Descending by a foot- "| path through the woods, a little pavilion is reached, projecting over the abyss. The great rush of water descends with a noise like thunder, and the spray is dashed in all directions. We crossed over the river in a little boat, just below the Falls, which took us. to the hotel. The grounds are very prettily laid oi it, affording many pleasant walks and resting places, in pretty little arbors. Schaffhausen {about two miles from the Falls) is a very quaint town. Most of the houses have oriel windows, elaborately carved, Some of the oldest houses are frescoed ail over the front, sub- jects taken from some old story or legend. The Cathedral was formerly an Abbey Church ; it is very massive, and was com- pleted in 1453.
From New Hausen we passing through the Black Forest. At first we Were disappointed. The trees seemed smaller than we should find in an American forest ; but gradually our murmurs of dis- approbation died away, and our enjoyment of the beautiful scenery found vent in words of admiration. The road ‘‘winds in and out and round about” on the sides or tops of sloping hills, affording delicious glimpses of valleys and chalets and streams running like silver threads. Now we plunge into a tunnel in total darkness ; out again in to,thebright sunlight ; in again—until we have passed through 36 tunnels, the whole route being one continued succession of surprises, until we arrive at Baden-Baden. This celebrated watering place is divided into two parts, the old and the new town. In the old quarter we find some interesting relies of antiquity: remains of Roman baths or thermes. These baths are now built over and the water conveyed by pipes to the Trinkhalle, and other es- satifidhms ents. The waters are used for bathing as well as for drinking. They are hot and have a slightly disagreeable taste.: | One does not long for a repetition of the

The new eastle. which commands the town, has been ealled new ever since the ldth century, to distinguish it from the old castle, which was not then in ruins. The Grand Duke not being in residence,. the Castellan took us through the building. It

are plainly but handsomely fitted up, the floors not carpeted, but inlaid with woods, a kind of parqnette style, and polished. While examining some stained glass in a bow window, our conductor touched a little spot on the wall. Instantly the floor opened disclosingastaircase. ‘The effect waslikema- gic. It reminded us of stories like “‘ Aladdin aud his wonderful lamp.” It seemed se funny that we, prosaic beings of the 19th Century, should be safely descending stait- cases that were once wrapped up in dark- nessand mystery. One little passage we were shown into was surroun led with mir. rors, ceiling and sides; such a tiresome yet laughable repetition and reflection of self on head and on foot. The most curious
portion of this castle is under ground, where there are numerous dark and gloomy vaults, cach with its own isi wal story.
There is the Judgin ehy Hal all, where sen- teuces were passed, a vaulted chamber with stone seata round Near it is # passage through which the condemned had to pass. Tradition says that the unhappy creatvre was told that he would soon be free; but that he must ‘‘ stop and give thanks to tt 1e Mother of the Saviour and touch her sacred image with his lips.” As as the fi gure was touched a number of knives flew out and cut the victim to Zi pieces. The body was thrown through a trap door into the abyss below. How true or how false this way be I cannot say; but the niche in tho wall where the Virgin stood, the trap door and_ the abyss are veritable facts which we ourselves saw. Before leaving the castle the castellan took us into the garden, pre- sented the ladies of the party with sprigs of myrtie,—to be kept in remembrance of the place,—and showed us Dagobert’s Tower, from which we had a fine view of the Old Castle. Returning to our hotel (the Vice- toria), in the new part of the town, we ob- tained a horse and carriage and started for a visit tojthe Old Castle. The road is good and pleasantly shaded with acacias. As you ascend the hill the shade becomes deeper, and there are seats placed under the trees for the weary to rest on. The ruined castle dates from the 10th century, Although apparently crumbling to decay, you can fearlessly ascend to the very top of the edifice—counting yourself well paid for your trouble by the perros views you

get every step of the way. Spread before you are towns, eee sinilin
plair is, nguntains, thread-like rivers, an the tops of the tall pines waving like an ocean of your feet. The ruins cover a large spacs of ground, and prove that at one time the castle must have been a place of great importance. In one of the vld rained windows, an AEolian harp was sighing. Its sweet plaintive sounds seemed like a requiem for the departed glory of the beautiful though crumbling old fortress.
he pleasure grounds lining one side.of the Vos are shaded with handsome trees. The Trinkhalle has in the front 16 Corinthian columns. Numbers of people resort to it every morning to hear the hand play and get their drink of hot water,
The Conversationhaus though unpretend- ing in its appearance outside, boasts some splendid saloons inside fitted up in. the most elegant and sumptuous style. It was in this building that the famous ‘‘Rouge et Noir” tables were held ;- hut now the prac- tice is put down by the stern arm of the law. Baden is the most frequented and fashionable bathing place in Europe. No loss than 50,000 people annually visit it.
Leaving Baden-Baden by rail we passed through Manheim, Ludwigshafen, etc., ar- riving at Mayenco in the evening. Went next morning to have a peep at the Cathe- dral. Its erection was begun in 978. In 1009 it was burned down. It was re- erected and burned down again. Four times did this venerable pile rise and four times did the flames devour it. It was severely injured once by lightning, and in 1793 it was damaged during the Siege ; but after each catastrophe it was re-erected on a grander scale than before. The market in front of the Cathedral and some mean looking houses very near it are deroga to the dignity of the imposing old church.
The statue of Gutenburg, the inventer of printing,designed by Thorvalsden, stands in the Gutenberg Platz.
Left Mayence at 9a. m., and took- boat down the Rhine. The most beautiful part of the river is between Mayence and Bonn. Vine covered hills rise on the banks, and each turn of the river brings in sight old castles standing out grim and dofiant un all the boldest headlands. Their name is com, Little villages are constantly in sight, and the whole route is teeming with and legendary lore. The colour of the Rhine is thick and m (you know it has been irreverently “sallod the “ditch of Europe”) and the grape vines on the banks have anything but an imposing appearance.
