The Most Curious Place of North
ern Europe.

Rev. c. A. Stoddard writes to the
Observer an account of his visit to the
town of Wisby, the chief place in Got
land, in Northern Europe. He says:
GOtland is the largest island in the
southern part of the Baltic, being eighty
miles long and thirty-three miles wide.
1t is a limestone formation, and the
rocks are full of fossils and petrifications.
A considerable business is done at WisbY
in making columns for churches, and mar
BILE table, tops, and brooches and other
ornaments, of the choice specimens of
the stone and coral formations.
Here, nearly five hundred years before
America was discovered, was a mart of
commerce and seat of wealth unriyall-
ed by any other seaport in northern Eu-
rope. Across the plains of Tartary and
up the rivers, and over the steppes of
what is now Russia, came the caravans
of merchants, with their costly goods,
which were shipped in multitude of YES
sells to GOtland. This lovely island in
the Baltic began to attract people from
all nations. The Arabians brought their
precious stores, and their silver became
the currency of the country. The choic-
est collection of Arabic coins in exis-
tence is probably that in the museum of
Antiquities at Stockholm, and this was
chiefly gathered from the island of Got
land Wisby became the emporium of
the West, and during the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries it was the princi-
pal factory of the Hauseatic League.
The whole island Of Got
land is of interest. In a drive of thirty

churches, and left more than eighty I'M
seen. Many of these have been restored
and having been thoroughly white
washed, thus covering up their former
elegant carvings and tracery, and being
supplied with hideous paintings and
wooden images of Christ and the Virgin
Mary, they are used for the Lutheran
worship The people are religious and
these restored o. churches are thronged
by the simple peasants some of whom
are doubtless the descendants of those
cultivated and wealthy merchants who
filled the island with luxury and the
arts which wait On wealth, seven centu
ries ago. But must stop. If you have
overrun Europe, and long for something
fresh in the way of sight seeing. go to
Gotland and you will get it. If you
are tired of travelling, and want cool.
delicious, invigorating air, and perfect
quiet, go to Wisby. True, it is some dis
tance from New York, but what do
Americans care for distance or time?
And although Wisby is a sleepy old town
of the dead past, in lonely Baltic isle,
thanks to Morse, you can telegraph from
there to New York in half an hour

GEN. RAwLINs AND GEN. GRANT
MANY slanderous reports having been
circulated about Gen. Grants alleged i'll
treatment of the late Gen. Rawlins, his
most intimate friend and most trusted in
war and in peace, the following letter
from a brother of Gen. Rawlins will eX-
plain itself
To the Editors Of the Baltimore Gazette !:
"Gentlemen: In your edition of last
Friday. the 18th instant, appears an edl-
torial headed ga Dear Friend, III which
YOU refer to the Presidents connection
with the late John A. Rawlins in man
ner calculated to reflect very unJustly
upon the formers friendship for the lat
ter. As a brother of Gen. RaWllns l
have to request that you will give a
place in your paper for this note, IN
which beg to assure you that nothing
could be further from the true facts in
tho case than the statements made in the
editorial referred to.
s.Tbe whole course of the President
durine the illness and since the death OF
nv brother has been so generous, ana
giyen such earnest evidence OF his great
regard for General Rawlins, as to place
our whole family under the deepest grat-
itude.
ssThe fund subscribed by the personal
friends of General Rawlins was paid over
TO the President, and fully accounted for
in every aspect, and was invested TO for
the benefit of General Rawlins family,
in the manner designated by those con
tributing the fund, to the perfect satls-
faction of the family, who are PANIED
more by such an article as your editorial
of last Friday than the President can
possibly be.

THE RUTLAND RAILROAD. D.-Much has
been said in the New York and Boston
papers about the bad management and
losses of the Vermont Central railroad
managers, and especially as regards the
leased lines of the railroad they are oper-
atlng. Our Rutlanc. road is one that is
much talked about. Now it may be
that the managers of the Central have
lost money by their lease of the Rutland
road, but we know that there never was
a time when the rolling stock of the
road was in any better shape than now.
We do know that since the lease was
made some half dozen elegant passenger
coaches and several very fine locomotives
have been added to the rolling stock of
the road. We are also informed that
three thousand tons of new iron has been
laid by these managers, and that they
have about as much more iron on hand
ready to lay; also, that not less than
twenty-five thousand new ties have been
laid, besides making many other substan-
tial and permanent Improvements. We
think these betterments will explain the
the deficiencies over receipts from the
earnings of the road, and the Central
managers should have the credit Of
this, and we presume that their state
ment, which we understand is in prepa-
ration, will show up this matter clearly,
as well as soue others which are now
prominently before before the public, in
regard to the Central railroad troubles.
We believe that John Gregory Smith
and his associate managers fully COM
pretended what they undertook when
they leased the Rutland road. We be-
lieve they are able business men, and
are 10th to believe the dishonesty attrib-
uted to him and his associates in so much
haste by some of the press.

FORESTER Superintendent Kelso is
reported as still of the firm conviction
that Forester murdered Nathan. He
says Superintendent Jourdan held the
same impressions, and that the fact could
be proven, though not with the kind of
evidence that would make an impression
on jury. Mr. Kelso is also reported as
saying that he has positive knowledge
that Forester was in New York the
night before the Nathan murder The
Superintendent is represented as morti-
fed that the testimony of such witness
as Conner, of New Orleans, whose
place, he is reported as saying, isa resort
for thieves of the worst DESCRIPTION,
should be seriously accepted in contra
diction to that of Detective Farley, who
has been prominently connected with
the Police Department for years.

BEECHRR.-One of the later stories
told about Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
has its scene at the Sumner hotel where
he was recently sojOurning in the White
Mountains. Mr.. Beecher was luXuri-
ating in a very plain suit of clothes and
total relaxation from the convention
alities of life. 1t is related that stylish
ly dressed youth drove up to the hotel
with a very fine team, and after assist
ing a lady from the carriage, airily hand
ed the lines to Mr.. Beecher who had
been standing near by and admiring the
horses. He was mistaken for an en-
plOye. Here my man" said the youth,
handing Mr.. Beecher a quarter of dol
lar, Just take these horses round and
give 'em good care-Now see TO that,
wont You?" Nodding assent and pock-
eting the quarter. Mr.. Beecher mounted
the carriage and disappeared with the
team around the corner in the direction
Of the barn. Within an hour the Young
man learned that his ostler was the Ply
mouth pastor. Anathematizing his eyes
and his stupidity, he instantly arranged
with the proprietor Of the hotel for
modest retirement from the place. The
team was brought to a side entrance. as
if for an elopement, the young lady was
lifted in, and the young man not dcsir-
ing to look at the stableman, hastily
drove away.

A Fox TALE.-A quaint Scotch minis
ter was given somewhat to exaggeration
in the pulpit. His clerk reminded him
him of its i'll effects upon the congrega-
tion. He replied that he was not aware
of it, and wished the clerk the next time
he did it to give cough by way of hint.
Soon after he was describing Samp-
sons tying the foxes tails together. He
said, "The foxes in those days were
much longer than ours, and they had
tails twenty fut long"
"A-hem !" came from the clerks desk
"That is," continued the preacher,
according to their measurement, but
by ours they were fifteen fut long"

RJr. GrceIey's Speeches.

The New York Times of "Wednesday
says Mr. Greeley is acquiring a per
feet Hnack OF pntting a disingenuous
gloss upon former expressions Of opinion
which he finds it equally troublesome to
indorsc or to explain away. Here is an
extract from his Vicksburg speech of
June 1, 1871, as reported in the VicIls-
burg HeraM of the following day;
Il greet you here as citizens who will,
in time, feel honor IN the glory of Stone
wall jackson as well as those who were
in the opposing armies; who will glory
alike in the glory of r. E. Lee, as well
as those who fought against him "
This is tolerably explicit, and was
very bold bid for Southern votes. But
being confronted with these words in
place where loyal sentiments are needed
to get votes, lere is Mr. Greeley's way
OF asserting that he said something diff
terent. what did say was this:
That | trusted the day would come when
1he soldierly qualities and military genius
of Lee and jackson would be regarded
as part of the Inheritance Of the Ameri-
can people; that they would be spoken
of as American soldiers, who, though in
a cause which l think bad cause, illus
trated the military capacity the genius
and energy of this American people"
If witness in a Court of Justice pre-
yaricated like this, his testimony on any
subject whatever would be set down as
perfectly worthless. We invite our
readers to analyse for themselves the de
Eiberately disingenuous way in which
Mr. Greeley proceeds to garble his own
record in his speech at Hamilton, Ohio,
Yesterday, and then say whether such a
man is fit to be trusted with even o su-
bordinate Office in any department of
Government. 1t seems like an insult to
the memory of the great truth-teller to
ask whether Greeley is fit to occupy his
place.
