Both are slaves to habit and foolish,
fanciiul notions, from which they have
neither the disposition nor the moral
courage to free themselves, and both
are content to remain slaves to their
habits and fsncies. In their slavery
they wonder how persons who are free
can enjoy life. The erection OF the
Palace itself has cost millions upon
millions of dollars, and its contents,
which are also merely ornamental,
have cost millions and millions more.
The treasury room contalns the royal
or crown jewels and many other objects
OF great value. The most interesting
and curious objects are the blue dla-
mond OF thirty.six carats in the collar
of the Order OF the Golden Fleece the
Palatinate pearl half white and halt
black; the great Bavarian pearls; q
statuette Of St. George oTerthrowing
the dragon, wrought in gold and agate
and encircled with diamonds and
pearl; several old crowns of historical
interest, and q model OF Trajsu's col .
umn at Rome, on which the goldsmith
is said to have expended twenty years
OF labor. The chambers on the ground
floor are all elegantly decorated IN
fresco, while the imperial apartments
are most superbly finished and furnish
ed. The Throne Hall is about one
hundred and twenty feet in length by
eighty in width. On each side are ten
Corinthian columns in white marble,
with gilt capitals supporting galleries,
and between these columns are twelve
statues in bronze gilt each one o.
which weighs nearly two tons, the
gliding OF which alone cost about
thirteen thousand dollars each. A fine
view OF the range OF magnificent apart>
ments about seven hundred feet long
may be obtained from position before
the throne. The people Of Europe
nave not profited by the experience and
teachings of Kiog Solomon; that great
st and wisest OF all Kings who built
he most magnificent temples and
nalacea, and embellished and ador1ed
nem with all the msgni6cence the
,urld could furnish; who had gratitied
every desire OF his nature and every
wbim OF his fancy, and who, after be
had epjoysd everything that human
desire could crave, the fancy picture or
the world afford, proclaimed to the peo,
pie OF the world that "all was vanity"
Europeans are slOw to learn either by
precept or example.
THB HAIL OF PAMg
is situated on an emineuce in a large
meadow on the south OF the city. 1t is
a large portico built Of marble, resting
on a base about 20 feet high. The cen
tral gallery is about $50 teetloug. The
front is supported by 48 dorlc pillars,
each about 70 feet high. Immediately

statue OF Bavaria. 1t is raised on q
basement about 35 feet in height, which

royal bronze foundry in Munich, where
the bronze monuments OF nearly all
countries in the world have been cast
1t represents the Protectress ol Bavaria,
with q lion at ber side. 10 her light
hand she holds sword. and in her lett
a chaplet. In the interior Of the figure
a stairway OF 66 steps ascends through
the pedestal as far as the knees, aud
thence by a spiral stairway to the head,
within which there are seats in which
eight grown persons can sls at the same
time. 1t is another costly monument
erected at the expense OF the poor
peasantry to crafty national vsnlty
and pride Throughout Bavaria in-
Vulnerable shrines are erected, more or
less costly, bat whether at public or
private expense we are not able to say.
SWITZERLAND.
Having resolved to view some OF the
mountains, lakes, and romantic scenery
OF Switzerland, we left Munich for Lin
den, on Lake Constance, where we took
the steamer for Romsnshorn, st which
point We entered Switzerland, the only
sister Republic We fnd in Europe. Here
We witnessed the evidences that repub-
lies are always progressive. This was
the frst point in al our travels through
Europe where we found railroad coaches
sembliug our own, with abundance o.
light and ventilation. They were 8
welcome relief from the uncom Portable,
poorly ventilated. dark, dirgY boxes or
coops we bad been accustomed to. Here
and throughout all Switzerland we saw
the men busily engaged securing their
harvest. In some places the women
we're assisting in gathering the hay, but
ia no place did we see the mperforming
the heavy drudgery they perform in
Germany. 1t is no unusual thing in
Germany, to see four delicate looking
women barneesed to 8 wagon drawing
q heavy load through the streets, while
in the window over their heads, we see
four robust, muscular men engaged in
washing dishes. The Swiss are too
brave, 100 noble and too gallsut, to per
NIT women to perform such drudgery
This IL the land OF William Tell, who,
when required by the tvrant to shoot
au apple from the head OF bis little son,
had conveniently concealed in bis bo-
som an arrow with which TO pierce the
breast o. the tyrant in case be had in
iured his child. 1t is the land OF Ar
mold wlnklereij, who, when the ranks
OF the enemies OF his country were go
solid and com pact that 40 attack could
not be made upon them without certain
defeat, unless the front ranks could be
broken, rushed forward and made

upon and breaking down on. OF the
spears, while bis comrades as brave as
himself rushed into their broken rauks
