Carl SchurZ's Father.

Few knew that Carl Schurz' father was
! in this country till the recent announcement
of his sickness and death in Illinois. He
has been living there in happy retirement
| for twenty-five years, taking great pride
! in the son he had trained SO piou>ly and
| vigorously, and enjoying also the neigh
| borhood of u d,ughter Mrs Edmund Jus
sen, of Chicago. Christian Schurz was a
school ;eachtr in the village of ibar
near Cologne. Prussia, where his son Carl
was born. and formed no exception to the
general rule which cons igns the German
teacher to lifelong poverty. But he re
solved to give his son the best education
then to be obtained in that pat of Ger
many. The best years of his life and
most OF his scHnty means were rcligiOu>ly
devoted to this all-ab>orbing purpose.
The untrng energy and ambition OF the
cider Schurz in this direction were truly
remarkable. He compelled Carl TO walk
almost daily :; distance of ten mi cs, when
he was still Of very tender years, to take
lessons on the piano; and when the boy
had reached the age of ten wears, he per-
formed with great success At several con
certS. to the infinite satisfaction Of his
father. He carly placed the boy at the
gymnasium of Cologne. one of the best ed
ucatonal institutes N the Ehcni,h p OWN
ccs, and managed 10 keep Carl at this
school until he passed an examination for
admittancc To the university at Bonn.
Bnt he made Carl appreciate thoroughly
that Ac was making extraordinary effort,
in his behalf, and exercised strictncss
and superintendent over Lis child Of
which the average American boy can form
no idea. Carl came home only once to
