THH KINGS MIRROR.

An Eastern palace once was planned
By ancient king of tabled story;
With slender spires and turrets bold,
! OF quaint design, both rare and old,
Inwrought with gems and FURNISHED gold.
o, naught had been in all that land
One hal so beautiful and grand,
Nor crowned with such transcendant glory
For j, should have dome so high
u Won rend the very clouds in sunder;
And, craven there, in deep design,
Shonld live full many cherished line,
With scenes round which the heart shoulc
twine;
Thus, fiazing where it blessed the sky,
While dews of brightness bathed the eye,
The world should bow in ceaseless wonder
Now fingers skilled in artful ways,
With busy haste there service render
Till all that wonderous dome is done.
Swift sinks to-nig the setting sun,
As If it feared 'twould be outshons
If lingering long, it stopped to gaze
Where flushed and burned so bright blaze,
| Where flashed and famed 30 new splendor
Soon, with the early morning light,
In eagerness all eyes were raising;
Like walls Of fire the turrets cleaned,
The spires like wrathful lightning seemed,
While from the dome such glory streamed
As may not bless frail, mortal sight;
And when it shone intensely bright
They walked as blind, or fell while gazing
While mourning fills the heart of man,
The King, in wisdom, ne'er despaireth--
His call is by the world obeyed-
A mirror meath the dome is laid,
And, calmly gazing there, they read,
And reading, pause to read again;
They view the grandeur of his plan.
And while the days flowed on at will,
They ever turned to seek that mirror,
And ever found some long-sought line,
Or some sweet shade of light divine,
Rejecting from the rare design;
There seemed some balm for human i'll
Within the mirrors depths SO still,
Which daily to their hearts grew dearer.
Thus God in mntchIess love, designed
To stand revealed to all his creatures,
But not unto our finite sight
Could come, in all its wealth of light,
The glory of the Infinite;
And so the great eternal mind
Sent forth the Word, and called mankind
To view, reflected there, his features.
II was Gods own spell! soft, holy light
O'erhoods the soul, inwrapt in gazing.
We view the deep, the grand design
Trace out each nirrored, God-wrought line
Catch blended shades of light divine,
And bless the hand which to our sight
Hath tempered his efulgence bright,
The king, who gave the mirror, prsising.

AN INDIAN STORY.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I have just received
from Colonel John Sloan, of Clarion
county, Pa, the following narrative,
or reminiscence, of the old Indian
war times, with the request that ]
would have you publish it in your
valuable paper. Knowing as he and
[ do, that men Of our advanced age,
(he being near the close of his
eighty-second year, and 1 near the
close of my eighty-third), and of
olden times are fast passing away,
and if incidents of old Indian war
fare are to be gathered from the
memories of men who have lived in
the troublesome times of the las.
century, when the Indian warrior
was upon the war path, if not gath
cred and published now, will soon be
too late, and many interesting Incl
dents will be lost forever.
ROBERT A. SHERRARD.
Here follows Colonel Sloan's intro
duction to what he has written. He
saws: Il would remark that Gener-
al Orr called on me several years
since, anG got these incidents of In
dian warfare, and sent them to Nevil
B. Craig, of Pittsburgh, who was at
that time collecting incidents of In
dian warfare, and would soon have
published them, but died before ac-
compIishing mis- purpose. And, as
I knew of no other person that could
give this information, 1 have thought
it my duty to the public to give this
narrative:
Twas born on the 9th day Of July,
II79O, which was not long before my
father, Captain John Sloan, and
John Wallace, escaped as tle only
two survivors in the attack on the
Miami. No doubt they were the
means in the hands of Providence,
OF saving Fort Hamilton from being
captured by the Indians. 1 have
given the facts as l got them from
nv father and John Wallace at a
time my memory was strong.
| l have never seen these facts pub

After the foregoing introduction,
we will let Colonel John Sloan, Jr.,
tell the tale, as he, at an early per

father, Captain John Sloan.

erected, at great cost, to hold all
those gems, but it yet remains un,
finished.
Through the kindness of the Lib
rarian, 1 was enabled to visit the
numerous suits of rooms, in the
Castle. Among them 1 was shown
the chamber in which the former
Duke had died, everything remain
ing as it was on that day. Also, the
suit of rooms occupied by the pres
ent Emperor of Germany, on his re-
turn trip from France. Joining and
surrounding the Castle, is the beau
tiful park, well supported with cosy
seats. Passing around the other
side to the miniature lake, l saw
near the shore beautiful wood-clad
island, where, beneath flower beds,
lie buried the Dukes August Ernest
II. and Frederick the ". With
the death of the latter died the
Gotha Altenburg family.
The churches in Gotha are indif-
ferent and few, but still too numer-
Gus and large for its people. They
do not appear to be a religious nor a
church going people. 1 attended
two churches one Sabbath, the Mar
garet Church, on the market place,
and the Augustiner Church, in the
west part of the city, and in neither
could count more than about forty
or fifty people. When one consid-
ers the capacity of these churches,
in which 1000 or 5000 people can
easily be seated, that Gotha numbers
over 10000 inhabitants, and is at
present visited by the smallpox,
desolating the family circle, one
would suppose that people would
seek more than ever the House OF
God. Considering these things,
one can easily form an opinion OF
the spiritual condition of the people
of Gotha. In the Margaret Church
lies buried Duke Ernest, The Pious.
The Augustiner Church was former
ly a cloister, in which Luther preach
ed when on his way to Worms,
April Sth, 1921, and was built by
Henry, The Noble in 1858. The
church contains an immense paint
ing, of increditable value by Jacoby,
representing the Crucifxion of
Christ; all forms being Hfe-size. He
generously donated it to that church.
He has been likewise generous to
the other churches in Gotha. To
his memory the people of Gotha
have erected an Indifferent statue.
Near the corner of the market place
stands the house of Lucas Kranach,
in which he lived in 1921. In 1880
two thirds of Gotha was burned by
the Swedes, under Gustave Adolph,
in his war against Wallenstein and
POpery.
Before leaving Gotha, 1 made a
short visit to its old graveyard, to
find the graves of certain eminent
men, but not having a proper guide,
1 failed to satisfy my intention. In
stead, 1 copied from one old grave
stone the following poetical, impress
sive inscription:
"Hymens should the bridal wreath weave
But thy young life, it sank into the grave"
A paying walk of twenty-five min
utes, can be made to the neighbor-
| ing iceberg, from which beautiful
panorama of rich fields and village,
of mountain and forest can be en-
Ijoyed clear to the Hay Mountains.
After some passable refreshments,
we were enabled to return to Goths
by another road, equally pleasant.
In the evening l took the cars to
Erfurt and Weimar. B.L.

LETTER FROM GERMANY.
N O. VII

BERLIN, December 9th, III.
Having exhausted the sights of
this greatest of castles, 1 regretfully
tore myself away from this enchant-
ling spot, but not without securing
lsome mementoes of cell and castle.
I descended one the many castle
roads which lead to the city below,
and in one-half hour arrived in
! EIsENACH
Which is so intimately connected
with the incident and history of the
Wartburg as to be inseparate from
lit. It's existence dates as far back
as Attila's exploits. 1t was rebuilt
in 1910, by Ludwig The Springer, in
place and upon the remains of an old
place destroyed by fire. In the wars
/ of Frederick The Bitter, with Al
brecht The Naughty and others, the
city came very near being destroyed
on many occasions. In this cd city
lived and died, in the Sixteenth CEN
tury, John Hilton The Barefoot
Monk, and lies buried in Market
IChurch. He died a martyr at the
time when Luther, as singing or
choir boy, earned his bread in the
streets of Eisenach, and when Mad
am Gotta attracted by his fine voice,
took him in, fed and cared for him
ltenderly. There are many other old
relics in this old city, as the Nicolai
thor and Church, the Court House,
and the Georgen or Market Church,
erected by Ludwig the Springer in
l1I0S. On the Luther place stands a
corner house, with an old inscrip-
ltion, which tells the traveller that
Luther occupied these rooms when
a student here. Also the house,
number one hundred and nineteen,
lin which Sebastian Bach was born.
A little time was also spent in wan
dering through that old castle grave
yard, at the foot of the Wartburg,
ldeciphering old Inscriptions on old
tombstones, over the graves of old

the rights and privileges of a city.
In 144O she fell into the hands of

for stronger protection erected the
Castle Grimstein, which became, in

of Albrecht, The Naughty, and

Dayton.

The procession Of Catholic benehciai
societies at Dayton on Sunday was much
the largest demonstration ever made
in that city. The societies in the cities
and towns OF Ohio, Indiana, and Ken
lucky turned out in large force, and
there were delegates from societies in
the principal cities throughout the
West and South, and some from the
East and North. The railroads were
taxed to their utmost, Saturday night
and Sunday night and Sunday morning,
bringing in delegations. Several bands
of music enlivened the march, and the
banners and flags gave a gala appear.

and large number Of priests in car
riages were a prominent feature OF the
pageant. 1t is estimated more than
5000 were in the procession.
Thousands OF spectators were attract
ed TO the city to witness the display.
The Catholic churches were handsome
ly decorated inside and out for the oc,
casion, and residences of Catholics, and
all the other public buildings along the
line Of the march were made gay with
the evergreens, flowers, flags, notices,
etc. There were services in all the
Catholic churches in the morning and
evening. Archbishop Purcell officiated
at the Holy Trinity in the morning,
and confirmed about one hundred
children in the faith OF the church.
The vast multitude was hospitality
entertained by the brethren.

We have kept our readers advised OF
the progress of the Anne Arundel
county election cases in the United
States Circuit Court, before Judges
Bond and Giles, ia which large num-
Der ofregistration and election officers,
and other citizens of Anne Arundel
county, are indicted for obstructing cit
izens of African descent from voting at
at the State election in 1871, in viola
ton Of the act Of Congress Of 1870,
known as the civil rights act This act,
which originally had been supposed to
have no application to State elections,
imposes a fine of $500, Imprisonment
from month to a year, and the pay
ment OF costs upon any offices obstruct-
ing voter, and also makes him liable
to pay $500 to the ag-
grieved party. As yet only
one party has been tried, George W.
Murdoch, a registration officer, for vio-
lStion OF the second section of the act,
in giving an equal opportunity to Ger.
tain coiored men to be registered as
voters, the fact being that on represen.
tation that the parties had removed
from the district, he struck their names
off the list. The jury in his case
brought in verdict OF guilty on Satur-
dav, with a recommendation to mercy.
A new trial will be asked for, and
meantime Mr.. Murdoch is admitted to
bail, and a number Of the other cases
are set down for trial tomorrow.
These indictments caused some
surprise at the time they were
made, as the legislation Of Con-
gress on the subject was supposed to ap'
ply to Federal, and not to State cleo.
tions. 1t seems to have been intended
to test the question OF the jurisdiction
of the Federal Courts in the matter,
and the language of the act Of 1870 may
reasonably bear the construction which
has been put upon it by the Court. In
our vie" Tic cNluSuCC III tilS SnoS op
pears to afford no proof of any inten.
tional injustice on the part OF the regis
tering officer, and if the law was viola
ted, it vas, in the case OF Mr.. Murdoch,
upon information which led to the be-
lief that the voters registered were
not duly qualified by residence.
Under all the circumstances, the
court will probably be satisfied with
settling the question Of jurisdiction, and
show leniency to men who have not
acted from corrupt motives. What
with the Congressional legislative traps
and pitfalls which seem prepared for
the unwary in this purely State matter,
the office of register or Judge OF election
is not likely to be much coveted. The
Federal legislation on this subject is in
deed intolerable. Our State laws under
which the officers indicted are appointed,
and in execution OF which they were
acting, provides ample remedy for in.
justice done to a citizen in the matter OF
registration or voting, and bear equally
upon all, without regard to color.
There is no excuse or necessity, there
fore, for any Federal interference in the
matter.
