A Day in Nuremburg.

We drove around the Burg, or
"rock-throned CASTLE" where the old
Electors used to live, and which the
King of Bavaria visits occasionally,
even now. Then we visit the Jung
Frau Prison, which contains the tor
tuous instruments used to put to
death those who we're so sentenced
in olden times. 1t was a dismal
place to visit, and it makes me
shudder, even now, to think of it.
We first descended a dozen or more
crumbling steps. down into a dark,
damp place, under ground the guide
carrying a torch, which threw an un-
certain sort of light about us, and
gave all distant objects an indis-
tinct and mysterious appearance
as if they might start forth from the
shadow. The first thing pointed out
to our dismayed vision was the rack
"A machine for stretching people
until every joint was dislocated. then
an iron cradle, full Of sharp spikes,
in which they used to rock thieves.
The last time il was used was in
1903, when an old man and his wife
were sentenced to be rocked in it a
certain length of time. usually more
than requisite for death; and the
old woman died; but, strangely
enough, the old man didn't die in
the cradle. Consequently he was
sentenced to solitary confinement
for the remainder of his life, which
lasted eight years, and it was after
ward discovered that they had both
been unjustly condemned! There
were numbers of other things that it
tortues me to think of; but the most
dreadful of all was the iron Jung
Frau. The sight of it fear prepar-
ed a chronic night mare for me, and
nearly gave the rest of the party the
Mysteries. This we found to.be the
iron statute Of woman enveloped
in a cloak which covered her head
and hung down to the floor, leaving
only her face exposed-a fine-fea-
tured. handsome face. The whole
figure was covered with rust, and
glistened with water. which came
oozing out of every crevice in the
cell. A large drop fell on Miss
IS shoulder, and j thought she was
going directly up through the cell
ing, she gave such start. She said
she didn't know but the Jung Frau
herself had laid her clammy finger
on her, marking her as yictimls
As the guide went on with the ex-
position we began to feel more ac-
customed TO it all. He marched up
to the figure, and pulling open the
two sides of the cloak, which proved
to be two doors. disclosed the inside
of this immense statute. 1t would
just hold a person, and was lined
with iron spikes, which bristled from
the doors and back in terrifying
numbers. The doors shut upon the
miserable victim, who was run
through in every part of his body.
Under the figure was q trap door,
which opened and let the body down
upon a dozen or more sharp knives,
which revolved and cut the already
mutiIated remains into atoms. The
guide raised the trap and threw
down a piece of lighted paper, to
show as that this horror was really
there. You can imagine with what
alacrity we ran up the old, worn
stone steps leading to the daylight,
aad what q long breath of fresh air
We took on reaching it once more.

PERILoVs NIGhT MARE.
a SIumberer at an
@ Unlucl1y Moment.

Last evening robust and gentle
manly looking stranger arrived at
the New York Exchange. His life
has been an eventful one, including
many passages at arms with border
raffians, his business for many years
being that of a thief taker. Previ-
GUS 10 entering the Exchange he
took a couple of drinks. Soon after
seating himself near the stove Z he
dropped off into troubled sleep.
One by one the guests retired, yet
he slumbered on. 1t being near to
midnight, the watchman of the hotel
concluded to awaken the sleeper and
show him up to his room. lie stole
to the strangers side, grasped him
by bis shoulders, and announced that
it was time to go to bed. In mo-
ment the slumberer awoke and boun-
ded upon him, with the exclamation,
Il will run this ranch - Fortunate
ly officer harrington entered at that
instant, and joined in the struggle,
which for some minutes was, terrific.
They had great difficulty in prevent
ing the stranger from securing pis-
tol which was in his belt. Earring
ton finally gotta chance to sound his
whistle, bringing officer Pritchard to
the scene. About this time change
came over the stranger, and looking
up, he exclaimed, as if puzzled us
it possible / am drunk or dreaming?
Where am I?''a Then seeming to
take it all in at glance, he asked if
those around him were officers. Be-
ing answered in the affirmative, he
accompanied them without further
resistance. Upon arriving at the City
Hall he gave a brief synopsis of his
life, and said that at the. time he was
clapped on the shoulder by the night
watchman of the hotel he was in the
midst of terrible nightmare, in
which he fancied himself surrounded
and attacked in a Kansas bar-room
that he was not really awake until
after the second policeman arrived.
All hands were satisfied with the
truth of the story and congratulated
themselves that the consequences
were not more serious. i7F g
