NUREMBERG AND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES or
TWO OLD GERMAN CITIES
1t.... n Thin

NuRrvsERe, Wednesday, Oct 5, 1851.
Nv last letter closed with our arrival at
Rothenburg-a city whose name is scarcely
mentioned In guide books, but which is one of
the oldest and mos, remarkable places in all
Germany. Founded before The year 800, and TIL
the twelfth century under the dominion Of the
Counts Of Rothenburg, 1t was for seven hundred
wears Free City OF the German Empire, having
under its jurisdiction one hundred and forty
three villages, and was only incorporated with
Bavaria in the beginning OF the present century.
AS the chief city in the old province OF Mittei
Franken, (MidFranconia) it has always been
an important place, and through its present iso-
lated position (being at some distance from any
travelled rouiei still preserves much OF It's an
Client appearance and character. These facts
learned from Herr Wolf, the landlord Of the
Golden Stag" as We leaned out OF the rear
window OF his house, last evening The inn Is
built against the city wall, and our window
looked down into the deep and rugged gorge Of
the Tauber The old fortress OF Rs,henburg
formerly crowned the very point of the headland,
around which the river winds, almost has alatlng
the city. and masing it, except on the side to.
ward the table and next to lmpresnable.
Hem Wolf frs, directed our attention to an
old house on the hesdland, which Was built IN
the eighth century. He then informed US that
when the Rothenburg knights returned from the
C1uSadeS, they were struck with the singular
resemblance between the position OF tie city ana
that Of Jerusalem-a resemblance TO which
many later travellers have testified The Tauber.
Tar below us, was the Brook Kedron' opposite
rose Mount Ohve, further down the gorge was
the Pool OF Sloan, and directly under Us little
chapel marked the site Of Ceihsenane Near

took walk In the superb avenues oflindens now

park has a singular and melancholy interest
from the fact that Casper Hauser was stabbed
here on the lith OF Decembe-, 1893 In lonely
corner, hidden by ihickets which always keep
the place in shadow, we found the monument, a
plain shaft with these words, and no more "Hic

YOU always pronounce In an undertone in Gerina.
