wall ~ only two or three feet above the
ground, but the moat is 30 or 40 feet be-
low, SO the walls on each side ar" i'm

which stands before his house.
At 4 o'clock, NJ, we took the train
for Munich six hours ride. Here we
took the omnibus for the -Four Seasons
Hotel, which is very elegant, even 10
the 4th etage, where they put us, they
being very full on account Of the yearly
festival this week, which is something
like our great fairs in America, and also
owing TO the Roman Catholic Assembly
in session.
The next day we strolled through the
rain to get an idea of some OF the prin-
cipal streets. The Opera House, the
Post Office, the Palace. the University
and Court church were the noticible
buildings. In an open hall, or piazza,
near the palace, each day is given fine
orchestral music, followed by the parade
OF few soldiers through the Court gar
dens. We came up in time to enjoy
both Of these, and then went on to the
English garden, the park Of the city.
Friday, before breakfast, which comes
usually at 10 o'clock Oh the Continent,
we went to the Marrien PlaiE--where is
the statue Of Marie, on y monument
erected to her honor after victory. On
the four corners of the pedestal are Ge-
nil killing viper, basilisk, lion and
dragon, (plague, war, famine and here
sy.) The market women and school
girls all stopped in passing to count
their beads before it or say their prayers
as fast as possible, looking here and
there during their devo,ions. During
the day We visited the old part of the
palate-the residence of the royal family
being in the new part, and not open to
visitors. The rooms we saw were two
reception-rooms, ball room, two rooms
for the grandtalher's collection of por
traits OF beau iiul ladies, room fol
paintings of war scenes, thee for fres'
Goes, an old throne room, u beautiful lit
tie parlor, bed room, mirror room, bOu'
dcir with little rorctlaine paintings all
over the walls, also the present throne
room, in which are gilt statues OF the
family ancesters; aud still this is but {
small part of the palace. King Louis
spends most of his time in the country
as he is very fond of hunting and Mu
Mich is excessively dull. The operf
here is excellent, the picture galleries
very fine, and the city built up beauti
fully, with numerous splendid public
buildings, streets wide, shops large, Sc
that as a whole it is a beautiful moder,
place, and yet the climate is so bad tha
strangers merely make short visits
zone wishing TO remain.
