other collections. The Academy
Building and Observatory next.
The Theater, the Invalid House
with its inscription 'Laeso sed inyicto
militis," the statues of the fallen
generals of the war 1S13-15, are
erected by Frederick II. in Kreutz-
berg. Higher up, in the same street,
is the Great Aquarium, the most at
tractive place in Berlin to student
of nature and natures things. The
Art Exposition, with Wagner's
great paintings, is another fine fea-
ture.
Among the Churches of Berlin
stands proinent the large Garrison
Church, on Hedwig Street, built af-
ter the Pantheon of Rome; the
Dome Church, with its Sarcophagi
of many ilustrious Kurfuersts, and
the Marien Church which has the
highest tower in Berlin. But among
all its beautiful buildings, stands
foremost for its beauty, the New
Court House. Among its temples of
learning, is the University of 1910
with its library of 100000 volumes.
The Academy of Arts, and numer-
Gus other buildings as important
and fine, but too numerous to men
ton. Among other places equally
interesting to the stranger is Char
lottenburg Castle with it's Mauso-
leum.
The Thiergarden, with its fine
shade and forest trees; and the great
Geological Garden, with its shrub
berries and its flowers, its villas and
its fountains, containing the finest
and largest collection of best look
ing animals, of all kinds and descrip-
ton, in the world. Close to this
garden, on the north, is the Kings
Garden and Park Bellevue, with
castle and gallery of paintings
West is the Kreutzberg, with its
Templehof and its sixty feet high
National Monument, the only thing
which a blind man, unaccustomed tC
mountains, might pass fora hill, but
as Berlin lies as fiat as a pancake, il
answers the purpose of prospecting
the great city
On the whole, It was a gloomy lif,
1 led in this city, in the real sense o
the word, as we were frequently com
PEELED to eat our noon-day meal b3
candlelight, on account of the miser
able darkness and fog which existed
steadily for over three weeks. Ony
three times was l permitted to see
the sunlight, for few minutes, which
surprised me so much that I made s
note of the date and place of this
great event.
l expected to remain here ten OF
twelve weeks but was satisfied with
half of that time, and was glad when
the time of my departure arrived
which hastened me away from a city
where all is Art and no nature;
where one is constantly attracted by
its greatness and elegance, and con
tinually repelled by its terrible mis-
ery and crime-a beautiful face,
marred by the black decayed fangs
of an ill-shaped mouth. Farewell,
Berlin! 1 leave your gloomy, crime
stained walls without regret.

Important Results of Grants Finan-
cial Policy.
Senator Wilson, in Campaign
speech at Nashau, New Hampshire,
made these effective points
There has been collected under
General Grants Administration in
three years nearly 81, ,200,000,000-
nearly 4O0,0O0,O00 year; there has
been paid out nearly $1,00O,000,00,
making about $2,l0O,OO00O0. We
have lost out of this immense sum,
in all the departments of the Gov
ernment, ST, ,25O,O00-less than .JJ-
teenth part of one per cent! Look
at the Postofice Department. With
45, 900 postmasters, clerks and mail
carriers, the loss has been less than
one tenth of one per cent in three
years. In no part of the world has
such integrity been shown under
like circumstances. We have paid
out during these three years $780,
100000 in pensions, and we have
had five defalcations, all ofthem SOL
1iers, and four of them shed their
blood for the country. But the Gov
eminent has not lost dollnr, for the
agents made good their accounts, or
their bondsmen did it for them.
This administration came into
power with the pledge to maintain
she faith and honor of the country
then wickedly assailed. During
5hese last thirty-fve months there
mas been paid $2S7,OOO,OOO, saving
nearly 100000 a year in interest.
This money has been mostly saved
