The 10th of April, 1S4S, in that year of agi-
tation, saw the light in the Crown domain of

father was tenant. My first instruction was
given me by private professors, to the last of
whom, Herr friedrich Liepe, am especially
lhueoteu' lie was candidate in philology

semesters, from Michaelmas, 1870, to Easter,
lo'2 followed the political science and the

From other sources the following par
ticulars of Nobiling's career and de-
scription of his character have been
condensed:
Charles Nobiling was born April 10, 1S4S, on
the royal domain of KollnO, near Birnbaum, in
the provice of Posen. His father, who was
well TO do, was employed in the administra-
ton OF the Crown domain. Nobiling received
careful education in the Government schools
at Lullichau, and when he graduated in 1867
he studied agriculture for three years on the
| Crown domain. In 1870 he went to the Uni
versity Of Halle, where he attended partcu-
larry the lectures on agriculture and political
economy After staying there a year and a
nall he returned to Kollno, where he con-
tinued his studies. About this time he made
several journeys for the purpose of inspecting
model farms and factories. In 1874 he re-
turned to the University Of Halle, where he
remained until 1873, when he entered the Uni
yersity. at Leipzig. In 1876 he received his
degree, his thesis being on an agricultural
subject While at both universities he was
distinguished by his industry After gradu-
ating he was employed in one of the Govern
ment offices in Berlin and then in the office of
the Minister of the Interior of Saxony. While
engaged in this way he attended lectures on
political economy at the Polytechnium of
Dresden, which were followed by debates, in
which he took an active part. In 1871 he
travelled through England, Belgium, France,
switzerland and Austria. He then went to
Berlin, where he passed some time in idleness.
He told some of his friends that he intended
to write an essay on the condition of industry
in Germany. MODELLING has always been of
pleasant disposition, but eXtravagant in his
ideas. He has always been a Socialist in the
DRY, but regular reader of the Dresden NetgS,
an ultra-conservative Parucularist paper, as
well as of the Socialist JOarudi of Dresden. At
Berlin he read the Free Press and the Ge17nd-
MA. He kept an eye on stocks and did not
spend his fortune in carrying out his ideas.
After he settled in Berlin he attended meet
ings of Socialists and sometimes spoke. Once
he delivered a lecture on the countries through
which he had travelled before the SOcialstic
Union for the Education of the Workmen of
Dresden
Nobiling's father died some years ago, and
his mother, after her husbands death, mar
ried Major de Gauran, retired officer living
in Berlin Three of his brothers are officers
in the Prussian army, and another graduated
a short time ago from the University of Ealle
and is an agricultural director in SaXony.
