grew the shadows, DINNER and DINNER the
outlines Of the mountains. Yet the swee
music sounded on and the splendid concourse
foated by till the fair forms and radiant ia
ceS were yelled by the gray gloom Of twii
light. Then, as by enchantment, thous
and lamps flashed up around us-gleaming
among the green leaves, clustering around
the fair flowers, flaming along the avenues, or
namenting the houses, till the whole place
looked like gorgeous vision.
Fair Baden Baden! what art thou, with
thy wondrous beauty, thy overlooking life,
and thy surprising gaiety? Art thou an
oasis in the great world where the children
of men forget their sorrows. and the flowers
of hope bloom forever? All, no; many a
sad heart mingles with thy laughing jewellers
and bitter tears fall in thy fair places, and old
memories of the loved and the lost haunt thy
lighted palaces,-for the souls garments are
of its own weaving, and pleasure is not al.
ways born of beauty.

LETTERS FROM SWITZERLAND AND GER
MANY-NO. 2.
STRAsBURG, September 18th, 1885,

STRAsBURG, September 18th, 1856.
My DEAR N:-We left Bale this morning
at eleven O'Clock and arrived here at four,
dined and hurried out to see the Cathedral.
l had heard of this Cathedral from my child
hood, and of course had painted its picture
in my imagination, but the reality far sur
passes the ideal. Nothing but the Church of
Notre Dame, at Rouen, can give you any idea
of the elaborate workmanship its immense
tower and principal facades. There are
groups of prophets, martyrs, saints and angels,
popes, prelates and apostles, holy families,
holy fathers, monks, nuns, bishops and ear
dinals in every possible place and position.
o. what story-tellers of the past are these
grand old Minister'S with their Gothic arches,
stained windows and dim religious light.
What volumes are written on the old, gray
stones that the busy present has no time to
read.
1t was a good time to ascend the tower,
so We bargained with a guide to take us up
as high as sensible people ever go. When
we had climbed up, up, up till we began to
fear that like the man with the cork leg we
should be obliged to go on forever, we came
to broad terrace ornamented with flowers
and surrounded by galleries and balconies.
On one side of this little garden there is a
room where we found good fire, chairs, ia
bles sofas and all the appointments of CON-
fort. Here policemen are stationed night and
day to give the alarm when fire breaks out in
the city-an idea which might be useful to
the city fathers in our own land. From this
high perch we saw the sun set, and lovelier
sight never beheld. Below us the giant old
town, with its high pointed roofs, its gray
towers and flower wreathed balconies; its
fountains, statues and terrace-gardens. On
one side the broad Rhine frightening and
sparkling in the distance like band of bur-
nished silver. Farther away fair Baden
Baden sleeping in the great arms of the Black
Forest. On the other side green slopes and
fertile vallies, dotted with human homes,
stretching away to the foot of the Vosges
mountains whose brows were bound with the
crimson glory of the dying day. After writ
ing our names in book which is kept here
for this purpose; going higher, higher up to
see the bell which is enormous; looking at the
machinery Of the great clock which has
wheels as large as those of a wagon: prom-
enading every gallery, looking over every
balcony; reading the name of Goethe carved

An Admirabl @ Hoax.

The letter purporting to have been adj
dressed by Secretary Marcy, to Gov. Grimes
of Iowa, and so extensively circulated by the
press within the last two weeks, turns out to
be hoax AS such, it is one of the best OF
the kind that has been perpetrated for years.
1t formed the text for lengthy and labored
editorials in the New York Tribune, the Her.
aid, and other eastern papers. The Washing
ton Union, speaking of the letter, says it was
not prepared by Secretary Marcy, or by any
person connected with the State Department.
While the Enthusiastically clear and caus-
tic style of the distinguished Secretary is
very closely initiated, the principles laid
down are such as will meet the cordial ap-
prevail of an overwhelming majority of the
American people.

/" False TO Freedom and sola TO sl.varv .

Such is the charge now made against the
people of Indiana and every other free State
tina. has given its electoral vote to James Bu-
chanan and John c. Breckenridge. The
charge is in perfect keeping with the false is
sue raised upon the slavery question, before
the election, and is a most gross and palpsble
misrepresentation of the true position of not
only the Northern Democracy, but Of the De-
mocracy of the entire nation. The idea that
the direct question to be settled by the cleo
ton, was freedom or slavery in. Kansas and
the whole territory west of it to the Pacific
Ocean, was persistently kept up till the last
moment before the decision at the ballot-box
was pronounced. The n. Y. Tribune closes
its argument to the people by a statement of
this character, as will be seen by the follow
ing paragraph in that paper of Monday last /:
That question is Shall Kansas and the
territory west of it to the Pacific be blessed
with freedom or cursed by slavery? Shall
this thousand millions of acres-this area
vast enough to subsist all the inhabitants now
on the face of the esrth-be opened to the
free labor of the North or the slave labor on
ly of the South q?
No enc knew better than the editor of the
Tribune, that such was not the question at
issue. No one knows better than those do
who now charge that the people of Indiana
are false to freedom andsold to slavery, that
the charge is bold and reckless assumption
without a single fact or argument to support
it. All that the people of Indiana or any
other State have done is to decide whether
the people of Kansas and the territory west Of
it to the Pacific should enjoy the right to de-
eide whether slavery should be tolerated OF
excluded. To say that they have sold them.
selves to slavery, is to say that the people o.
those territories will decide in favor of slavery
and not against it. This is begging of the
whole question. 1t is assuming fact to ex
list that does not exist. The Democracy hav,
simply said that they will clothe the people
of Kansas and other Territories with the
same power exercised by the people of Indi
ana themselves on this subject. They hav,
simply decided that citizen in Kansas i
equal in rights to a citizen in Massachusetts,
Ohio or Virginia, and that the question of free
dom or slavery may as safely be left to hin
in Kanses as it has been left to him in any o
all of the States above named. The ques
ton at issue was Popular Sovereignty Or Con
gressional Vassalage. The people of Indian
have decided in favor of popular sovereignty
The question of freedom slavery was nc
, in the issue. That was handed over to tn
people of the Territories, to be decided b
, themselves. To them the question belong
because they, and they alone are to be affec1
ed by it.

The returns which we have received from
our own State do not change the estimate we
have made of 10000 majrOity for Buchanan.
In six Congressional districts We shall have
about 5000 majority, giving TO the Republi-
cans 5000 in the other five, which is more
than they will probably receive. There can
be no question where Indiana stands upon the
great issues which have been involved in the
recent canvass. 90
1t will be several days before we shall get
the official returns of the State, so as to give
the exact vote which each of the candidates
received. But this much we can say, the
vote Cor Buchanan is very satisfactory.

Philip s. Clauges died this afternoon
from pistol shot wounds received last even
ing at the hands of Isacc G. Sherlock, clerk
in the employ of his firm. The act was COM

wife. Gauges made visit to the house of
Sherlock and administered a drugged wine,
enabling him to effect his purpose. Sher-
lock gave himself up, acknowledged the act
and was committed to prison. Much SYM
pathy is expressed for him. The deceased

Illegal Voting in Hendricks County.

A party of young men met in Dsnville, on
the evening previous to the election and agreed
to vote as many times as they could upon
the 4th inst, for the Fremont electoral ticket.
One of them has been tracked through the
country and diligent efforts are being made to
ascertain the movements of the Others. Ed
ward G. Shannon voted in Marion township
by his own name, in Springtown by the name
of E. G. Hamrick, in Bellville by another
name, and in StyleSville by the name of E. G.
Combs, taking the oath required by the stat
ute, swearing that he lived in that township
with one Madison Hadley. Here an afida-
