beautiful city, gazing into the shop-windows
OF the blue uniformed soldiers which are every
where to be seen, ard the quaint dresses,
abounding in butono, worn by the country
men and women who had brought their "mar
ketiug to tho city, and in watching the river
Iser trolling rapidly by the city Campbell
war lyric the BATTLE Of Hoh1ullnden" fast
ened the name OF the river upon my memory
long ago in the timo Of school boy declama-
tions, nnd it was interesting to see the river,
although the battle field with which it is asso
ciated is some twenty miles away. The Ba
varians, ike other nations, don't care TO cher
ish the memory Of battles whose results were
linglorious 10 their arms and we found no one
who was at a disposed to tell us anything
about the scene Of Moreaus midnight attack
and brilliant victory, although it is such q
short distance from their city. My friends
meantime, were of ia another direction doing
the kings palace, believe but think |
enjoyed my wandering with no other guide
than the impulse of the moment even though
[ lost myself two or three times, much more
than they did in their buainess-lke operations
under the direction Of valet de plece.
In the afternoon at two o'clock there was
grand dinner at our hotel-the Baierischer
= Hof-giyen by the officers Of the First Regi-
, ment to the brother Of the Emperor Of Aur-
/ tria. 1t came of in the large dining hall
I and we availed ourselves Of the opportunity
offered by the polite proprietor to look in upon
the brilliant company The splendid regl-
mental band discourrod most eloquent music
while they ate, and it was pleasant to notice
that even in the midst Of their ieRsting they
+ could pause to applaud it, and even to rise and
i compliment the musicians. The officers were
b fine looking, soldierly fellows, and | could
S not help thinking that there seemed to be just
: as much fight in them as in any other men
. | ever saw Judging from their courtesy and
chivalric bearing towards each other, they
would bear themselves in personal difficulty
u with perfect gallautry; and if their hearts
j. we're in a national quarrel, l could see no
1t reason why they should not give good ac
n count of themselves on the battlefield, NO
re matter Of what nation their opponents might
is be- Is it not, after all, mistaken idea that
- there is n difference in the fighting qualities
of the different nations and languages o
, christendom} Is not human nature much
- tho same all the world oyer2

there was no drunkenness, and the com
