MUNICH,

.
We spent three days at Munich and found
it very interesting and attractive place. It
is city of magnificent distances, situated on
level plain, the sceneryi in the vicinity be-
ing uninteresting. In collections Of art it is
one of the finest cities in Europe. The Pin
acothek has magnificent collection of paint
ings of various schools, those of Reubens and
Murillo being the most celebrated, Reubens'
celebrated painting of the Last Judgment
being the central object of admiration. The
bronze statue Of Bavaria is the most elaborate
work Of the kind in the world. It is 6s feet
in height, and stands on granite pedestal
30feet from the ground. We ascended by
circular steps to the inside of the head of the
statue which is roomy enough to seat to 10
persons. Holes in the eyes enable you to see
the surrounding country. The cemetery is
an interesting place of fine tombs and monu-
ments. The dead house is a peculiar institu-
tion-of Munich. All the dead, clothed in the
habiliments of the tomb, are exposed here for
"a hours after their decease. A wire connect
ed with bell is attached to their hands, and
they are watched by attendants so that If
there is any life remaining it may be discov-
ered. This is done as a precaution against
premature interments. We went into the
room where some 10 or twelve corpses were
thus exposed. The attendant informed us
|, that no one had ever been resuscitated dur
ing the years in which this system had been
adopted lafa 'afl3 sl4as

SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEW CITY.
This is one of the largest lumber manu-
featuring places in Eastern Maine. It is es-
timated that 100000 feet of the various
kinds of lumber are sawed here in year, all
of which finds ready market and comm ands
good price. The water power rarely fails,
and with improved water wheels and ma
chinery double the work could be done with
the present power employed. as3asa Bis
Ellsworth with population of seven thou
sand inhabitants, has, with the consent of
the Legislature, voted itself city, and has its
mayor, and marshal, aldermen and common
councilmen, who meet and transact business

dignity of their position as though their city
numbered as many souls as New York or

One thing is indispensable to secure the

the outside world. They are almost isolated
about FIVE months in the year. Considerable
has been said in Ellsworth about road to
Castine to enable them to ship their lumber
and bring in supplies during the winter. But
talk does not build railroads, unless it results
in action. Such movement would undoubt-
edly stir up Bangor to make that city the ter
