Hatfield's licence to fortify it bore date 1379, and
allowed Lord Neville "de son manoir faire un Outs-
tell," an expression which did not in the least help
to determine what the exact extent of John Neville's
work was. While some portions of the older fabric
were incorporated with the new, Raby presented
certainly the work and ideas of one period. Its
particular value in the series, therefore, and that
which distinguished it from the rest of the large
castles—such as Alnwick, Wark worth, Durham,
Prudhoe, &c.—was that, whereas they consisted of
Norman cones, which have a usual agglomerated
andto themselves a heterogeneous mass of buildings
of a later date, following more or less the lines of
the old wails of enciente, they had, or rather did
have, in it a perfect example of a 14th century castle,
complete in all parts, without any appearance of
earlier work or later alteration whatever. Nearly
every one who mentioned Raby pointed out the ap-
parent weakness of its site. Old Leland said Raby
was the largest castell of Logginges in all the North
Country, and was of a strong building, but not set
either on hill or very strong ground. But though
certainly not set on hill, it had yet other means of
defence of which no notice was taken—viz., water,
which making the place damp, no doubt, and being
found practically unnecessary, was drawn off long,
perhaps, even before Leland's time. But the real
defence of Raby lay beyond the circuit of its own walls
and waters. They were to be found in the warrior
spirits of its lords and in the border castles of Norham,
Roxburgh, Wark, Berwick, and Bamburgh, which
they commanded continuously-as warders and gover-
nors from,the days of Robert Neville, in the 13th cen-
tury, to the time of Queen Elizabeth. Apart from
the question of the site, the castle itself was of great
strength and skilfully disposed. Mr. Hodgson then
pointed out in detail the general arrangement of the
castle, and at the conclusion of his very elaborate
and able papers the guests proceeded through the
modern as well as the ancient portions of the castle,
admiring especially the lovely prospect from the tower.
At 6 o'clock the bugle call was sounded, and the
return to Durham safely accomplished. The weather
throughout was most favourable.

There was a soiree at the Town-hall in the even-
ing, when papers were read—by Mr. J. R. Planche,
" On the Norman Ancestry of the Nevilles, and the
Early Armorial Bearings of the Family ;" by the
Rev. C. Carr, " On an Anglo-Saxon Inscription ;"
and by Mr. T. W. King, York Herald, " On MSS.
relating to Durham in the Library of the Collegeof
Arms."

The Rev. Prebendary SCARTH, M.A., described a
Roman altar which had been found in the capital of
a column in the church at Gainford, on the river
Tees, about two miles above Piersbridge, an ancient
Roman station on the line of Watling-street. The
church had been restored in the course of last year,
and built into the south-east pier of the tower arch
was found an inscribed stone, a portion of which
had been rounded to form the capital of the column.
One side was perfect, and contained the figure of a
Roman eagle with a wreath in the beak. The altar
was dedicated to the Doly-chene Jupiter, the Jove
of Metallurgy, and dedicated by a Roman officer,
for himself and his family, or his company of sol-
diers, at the command of the god himself. This
latter expression was pointed out as a formulary
common to altars dedicated to this divinity. The
date of the altar was probably A.D. 153 ; this could
be nearly ascertained from the names of the con-
suls which were just discernible towards the end of
the inscription. Five altars dedicated to the Doly-
chene Jupiter had been found in this country, and
in all parts of it where ironstone is abundant. An
altar found abroad, well known to archaeologists,
contained an explanation of the title " Doly-
chenus," applied to Jupiter as presiding over the
countries where iran was produced, and the locali-
ties in which these altars had been founded in Britain
quite confirmed the statement. The rev. gentleman
made observations on the care taken by the Romans
to deyelope the resources of the countries they con-
quered, and pointed out that, as many traces were
left of the Roman lead mines in England, so, no
doubt, traces of iron workings might be discovered
if looked for carefully, and concluded with an allu-
sion to the great necessity of preserving with all
possible care the inscribed stones found, since they
were corroborative and illustrative of the accounts
of written history.

KISSINGEN, Aug. 23.

I have seen Kissingen. I went up to the summit
of the Bodenlaube, one of the conical hills surround-
ing the town, made conspicuous by the scattered
fragments of an old feudal castle. The ascent has
nothing of the difficulties and dangers of the Matter-
horn. It may be achieved in something like 20
minutes, and is made over easy steps and along
smooth paths, across rich meadows, in the shape of
piing woods, with comfortable seats at short inter-
vals for the accommodation of short-winded inva-
lids. At the entrance of the ruins on this side, towards
the town, there is a " restauration," bearing the
name of " Rubezahl," the name of that cunning
hobgoblin who plays such a variety of pranks in the
legions of the Giant Mountains. On the other side
the top is reached through a long row of "stations,"
little chapels or shrines-..a via crucis to the Calvary,
or Holy Mount--erected in poor emulation of the
famous sub-Alpine sanctuaries of Oropa, Orta, and
Varallo. In such juxta-position do you always find
the Heavenly Powers and the Prince of Darkness in
these unsophisticated old Roman Catholic countries
—a taper invariably lighted in honour of the arch-
fiend in antagonism to the oil lamps burning at the
foot of the Archangel. "We never know where we
may come to in the end, and it is always well to
have a friend in all quarters."
From the heights of the Bodenlaube you see the
whole of Kissingen miserable village within the
recollection of living men, now a city of palatial
hotels; a place visited by about 160 invalids in 1816,
crowded with its yearly 6,000 at the present day.
Round the town a range of sweet and smooth, well
rounded, well wooded hills ; outside this circle a
undulating country, again shut in
by easy sywseleopp ining; mountains—a shell within a shell,
a kettle within a kettle. The inner circle constitutes
the little valley of the Saale, a sluggish stream that
winds round Kissingen and is apt to stagnate on its
meadows ; for, with all its health-giving powers,
Kissingen has a damp, somewhat gloomy climate,
not very inviting in any but the hottest summer
months.

Notwithstanding its high renown and its rapid
increase in later years, Kissingen has still much of
the primitiveness of a genuine watering-place. People
come here for their health, or come not all. Dr.
Granville, the illustrator of all German and Eng-
lish spas, never fails to pitch his tent at Kissingen
every summer, giving it the preference over all
other Kurorts for the marvellous powers of the
Racoczy, Pandor, and Max Brunnen, the salt and
carbonic acid baths at the saline, by which sufferers
from dyspepsia and all other organic complaints are
made whole, and go hack with a new liver, or one,
at any rate, as good as new.
It is pleasant to come once in a while across
things called by their own true names. Kissingen
is called a watering-place, and answers its appella-
tion most thoroughly. It is no such raeletty place
of dissipation as Wiesbaden, Homburg, or other
rival establishments. The fashionable hour for a
promenade here is between 6 and 8 in the morning.
Nay, so outrageously early people are we here that
the band, before settling inthegtahrdeernounneadrof all
Springs and the Kursaal at 6, makes
the hotels, sounding the reveille, and rousing the
sluggards. The solemn strains of their wind in-
struments were serenading me under my windows
this morning, in the grey of earliest dawn, at
half-past 4. It was heavenly music in that still
hour, I must say, though murderous to sweet slum-

bers, and I do not wonder at
gaste in the rooms adjoining
by a rebellious and obdurl
fiance. The English especiall.,
wholesome discipline with an
rally past 7 before any of them mix theito
of their fellow-patients at the morning pa_
Dinner is at 1 in the afternoon for all people ; and
at the head of the crowded table d'hote at the Kur-
haus the Doctor presides, with his wand of office, as
inexorable as that of the medical officer of the
Governor of the Isle of Barattaria, waving off any
viand or beverage that may appear in contradiction
tohis rigid prescriptions. I could not help smiling at
the wistful glances with which some of the guests at
my hotel eyed the modest dish of venison, the pota-
, toes a la maitre (l'hotel, and the little pint of Saale-
wein which constituted my frugal slipper last even-
ing, while they had to feast on their bouillon, water,
and cigars. But then they were people who had
" their lives to make," and that requires as much
self-denial, mortification, and asceticism as " mak-
ing one's soul."
What becomes of these five or six thousand mar-
tyrs between S iu the morning and 6 in the evening
no one can say ; but the Kursaal-garden is all alive
again for two hours before sunset. There is more
music, more quaffing of the Racoczy waters, more
sauntering up and down, more swarming of motley
groups. At Bit is night, and night is for rest and
sleep, in spite of the little theatre, the conjuring
tricks by a successor of Bosco, and other entertain-
tainments by no means extensively patronised. The
great treat of Kissengen consists in some stray Em-
press, Queen, or Grand Duchess driven to the spot
by some of those complaints Royal flesh is heir to,
like other flesh. Sometimes a whole galaxy of such
stars shine above this Franconian horizon ; and we
hear of the gracious affability and primitive con-
descension with which their High Mightinesses and
Transparencies, their splendours partly subdued by
the assumption of incognito names and titles, " hold
their courts in the open air or under the liursaal
colonnades, and greet their friends, and even stran-
gers, with utter disregard of etiquette." Such of these
exalted ladies as graced Kissingen this year are all off
by this time. The season is drawing to a close, and
was by no means one of the most brilliant. The
English colony, as I said, hardly ever exceeds 300,
though it boasts of a fine newly-built and lately-
opened church, a church, as well as a doctor, ex-
clusively addicted to its service.
With all these attractions and the loveliness of
the environs, lam afraid that Kissingen is entitled
to that appellation of a " dull place," which is given
it in the guide-books. The people here avow it ; you
would say they rather glory in it. " The fact is we
do not gamble here," they tell you, " and we en-
courage no bad characters of any description."
There is no doubt but Kissingen contrived in the
worst of times to keep up its character for respec-
tability. Previous to 1848 it had its rouge-et-noir
and roulette tables as well as the most sinful of its
neighbours. No Kursaal had been built at that
time, and the gambling went on at some of the
lower rooms at the Kurhaus ; but they were so uni-
versally tabooed that I am assured none but the
couriers and lacqueys of the great families went
there to stake their ill-gotten florins. In the famous
years of revolution 1848-49 a crusade was preached
against the Tapis-vert throughout Germany, and
one of the first acts of the National Versanomlung,
or Parliament, of the German Empire, which met
in St Paul's Church at Frankfort, was to suppress
all the gaming tables, prescribing a practice which
was thought to throw so much discredit on the
country. The decree of the national representatives
met with various receptions in different States. The
doughty Landgrave of Hesse-Homburg called all
his army of 366 men under arms, and prepared for
a desperate resistance. This was under the very
nose of the 900 Professors of the Frankfort Assem-
bly, and was not to be tolerated. A battalion of
Austrians, acting in the capacity of Imperial Ger-
man troops, were marched upon Homburg, where
they found the tables deserted--not by terror of the
law or of its executors, but merely owing to the
Rumoresfuge circumspection of tourists, who were
that year kept away from all their favourite resorts.
It is stated—l know not on what grounds—that the
officers of that Austrian contingent, taking pity on
the desolate croupier, sat down to those very tables
which they had been sent to demolish, and kept up
the games which would have died a natural death
without them.
Whatever may be the truth of that anecdote, the
real upshot was that the German Empire and its
Parliament went down, and the croupier's tables
were reared up once more. Wiesbaden, Homburg,
Baden-Baden breathed again, and their visitors
were again at their tracks everywhere—everywhere
except at Kissingen. The good King, Louis of
Bavaria, then reigning was a man whose principles

should not be undone, and when the former pro-
prietor of the Games at Kissingen, M. Bolzano, ap-
plied for the exercise of his rights, grounded on some
former lease, the King referred to the Act of the
Imperial Parliament, and declared it to be a law
throughout his dominions. The point was disputed
by the disappointed croupier, and the lawsuit was
carried on for years, and tried at a variety of tri-
bunals, till it came at last before the supreme
federal Court at Bremen, where it was decided that
" as the act was passed by an assembly which was
at the time invested with all federal powers, and
had never been since repealed, it had certainly the
power of law, and was binding on all such members
of the Bund as chose to abide by it." King Louis

There is not an arrant va-tout of them all, whom
you will not hear in the rare lucid intervals between
the fits of his gambling passion, declare that "it is
a flagrant shame and a glaring scandal to throw
open such temptation as these games of hazard prove
to many of the mere idlers at a watering-place."
Medical men in vain protest that " in the midst of
the excitement of play it is impossible to effect a
cure, which relies above all things on perfect quiet
and the avoidance of all violent emotions." All in
vain. The measures which the great Powers of
Austria and Prussia, and the State of Bavaria, found
it so easy to adopt, are said to be impracticable in
the smaller duchies and grand duchies. They plead
the right of the lessees, they promise a breakdown
of the system at the end of a few years. They make
hay while the sun shines, nevertheless ; and Kis-
singen, good, respectable Kissingen, learns at its
expense how dearly one must pay for the luxury of
being more conscientious, more consistent, and, in
fact, more honest than one's neighbours.
