a cn.n.. a Dw.lI ,n Marble Halls.

A chance seldom met with is now offered to
some enterprisiug Yankee OF means, to revei 10
the halls. not Of the Montezumas, but OF the
German barons, kings aud knighis Of the me.
diRval ages A castle is advertised for sale In
the German papers, which was erected over IL
centuries ago, aud around which cluster remi-
nicences of feudal barons in the early history OF
Germans. This is the ancient castle Of Meers-
burg. situated on Lake Constance. In the pres.
ent Grand Duchy Of Baden. II 10 TO be sold
by the heirs Of Baron Won Lassberg, who died
In 1856. and is one Of the Oldest, finest, and
most remarkable specimens Of architecture in
Southern Germany. German poets have de-
ecribed in verse its origin and romantic situa-
ton, and German historians cannot overlook
its claims without doing injustice to some Of the
most prominent personages OF the MEDIEVAL
times.
The old castle was erected upon rock sepa.
rated by chasm from the town. and connected
with the latter by means Of draw-brIdge. The
Oldest portions are the square tower, which is
forty feet In thickness. and q wall which COM
mences near the draw both are OF Franconian
architecture. and tradition relates the tower was
constructed by King Dogobert the First, about
the year $50 to 6SS, aud was originally design
ed for lighthouse. In subsequent ages The
castle has been owned by different and distin-
guished families, and has had additions, but the
old tower Is still standing.
Al present the old castle is vacant aud look
Ing for al owner who will preserve It from
ruin. lts situation Is one Of the most pictur-
esque that can be imagined. In front are the
waters Of Lake Constance, and beyond, the
Swiss Alps. their SUBMITS covered with perpet-
ual snow on either side and to the rear Is n
landscape OF surprising beauty, comprising val
leys and mountain slopes, fertile farms and
vineyards, and interspersed with villages and
farm houses.
There splendid castles, when sold. usually
bring price far below their apparent value
There are several instances Of similar MEDIEVAL
structures purchased for mere song. and we
know Of one instance In which French gentle
man Of very moderate means bought baronial
castle, with seventeen acres Of land, for the
sum OF three hundred dollars. Seven hundred
more were spent In fitting Il up. and the pur-
chaser now occupies 1t In . princely state. II

will be sold for anything like this, but II will
be likely to go OF at a sacrifice.

| A statement was lately presented to the Sta
tistical Congress Ia England, By the delegates
| from Australia. 10 reference TO the gold pro-
duction Of Australia proper, and Of Tasmania
and New Zealand. The details were somewhat
voluminous. but the summing up made the
yield Of gold from 1851 10 the close Of 1889,
El0l. 81 ,S2s or over $500 000. 900. The Amer
lean gold regions have yielded even more than
this, since the California discoveries of l64S
and In round numbers il may be stated that in
twelve years the addition to the worlds stock
of gold exceeds one thousand millions Of dollars.
There Is something 30 colossal In such . state
ment. that the mind can with difficulty take it
10. The ideas Of our childhood, or OF the aute-
Californian period Of the worlds history. 10
reference TO gold, were so narrow that It takes
time TO expand ones thoughts for the proper
comprehension OF one thousand millions OF gold.
The question arises, where Is ell this new
found goldf We do not iud Il much more
abundant than IL formerly was. Il does not,
either Hguratively or literally, flow along the
Mississippi, according to the plau Of the ase Col.
Benton. 1t has not become q common metal
from which we can all have our dinner service
made. 1t has not abolished paper money, or
made Il necessary. The banks OF the world.
when ell their statements are summed up, do
not hold anything like u thousand millions Of
gold. Nine tenths Of ell business transactions
are carried on not by gold, but by notes, bills
and checks Credit does quite as much busi.
ness as Il did before cash became 30 plentiful,
Merchants prefer the use Of paper 10 the heavy
material, the transfers OF which would cause 90
much Inconvenience.
But though we see so little OF this enormous
addition 10 the worlds stock OF gold. It still ex-
ists. Commercial and mining statistics prove
that II has been produced, and tho records Of
the mints prove that II has been converted into
coin. II il hut little observed. because the bus
iness Of the world has increased at such an enor-
nous rate W hin the last twelve years. Trade
and commerce under the stimulus Of the great
gold production have expanded TO col0ssal pro.
portions, corresponding TO the magnitude OF the
specie supply. Eastern wars the Iuda rebel
lion, the operations Of European Powers In
China. aud the growth Of commerce with Asia,
have taken great deal Of gold TO that part Of
The globe. and this may account for portion
Of the thousand millions. But the great bnik
Of this treasure, Of which no account can b.
rendered, is distributed through Europe aud
America, aud Is employed Ia the ordinary trans
actions OF life. IL commerce were on no larger
scale than Il was fifteen years ago, this enor-
nous quantity Of gold would be idly filling up
the vaults Of Banks and Of individuals. But
business has grown apace, and there s no glnt
OF the gold market, no perceptble dmnution
OF Its value. The world adapts itself 70 any
new circumstances with surprising facility, and
commerce has enlarged its transactions to cor
respond with its means.--Phi. Bulletin,
