The Town Hall OF MidAe!burg.

There was a constant fascination in
and about the old town hall for me.
The outside is very perfect, from door
scraper to the gold weather-coek.
Built by a Burgundian architect in
1863, it is more French than Flemish
or Dutch in character All the butch.
ers' stalls in one corner of the building,
the set-out of the meat, the chopping
blocks and hooks, and the general ar
engagements of the place give one per-
feet picture of the shambles and flesh
ers' stalls of the late fifteenth century.
The inside of the building, l grieve to
say, has not quite escaped the demon
Of modern Improvement. The fine old
Council chamber, however, has been
preserved pretty much in its original
TO N. They do say that the sketch for
the council chamber scene in The
Bells" as played at the Lyceum, was
taken from this very quaint cid room.
Holland is very rich in old council
chambers, and there are few finer than
this and the one at Neere-or rather
than the We're one was before they
took down the bronze hands. There is
a most interesting museum in this Mid
delburg Town Hall, filling several
rooms, mostly with objects connected
with the history of iceland. There
are, among other things, the grand old
Teasing batteries OF the various guilds
and corporations; tankards and beak-
ers and dishes of gold and silver;
plates and trenchers of pewter and
quaint old delft; goblets of glass
of Venice and Bohemia; corpora
ton seals, medals and badges; flags,
banners ana pennOns; warlike weapons
of every period; old instruments of
music; books, parchments and views of
old towns; plans and maps; pictures of
pageants and ceremonies, many of
them showing by-gone festivals at this
same old burg. But most interesting
to us were the several fine old guild
and corporation pictures, some on the
same scale and in manner of treatment
as those that Frans Halls and Van der
Helst painted so gloriously years after
these were done. These have a certain
charm of grim sincerity and naiyete
which the others, with all their magis-
terial grandeur, lack. The portraits of
the leading worthless in the gu Ids of
Wine COopers and Wine Merchants are
most vigorous, and "personal' in the
last degree to eveiy defect or merit of
the originals. -HarDer'S Magazine.
