beauty the interest OF the town is GEN.
tered in it's university. This was found
ed in 1856 by E!ector Rupert. Like all
old foreign institutions it passed through
many vicissitudes and was added to and
taken from by the several powers under
whose sway it fell. 1t has a library of
300,0 900 volumes. many Of which are
very rare and ancient.
The buildings present sad common
tary on beauty and are not at all COM
mensurate with the reputation OF the
university.
The students number about seven or
eight hundred, many OF whom are
English and American. The profess ors
are about one to every nine stu
dents. A tourist is interested in seeing
this celebrated institution, as well as
the students whose faces are cut and
hacked in the most frightful manner.
Duets with swords are not relic Of an

to have face tree from scars and the
student who has never fought duel is

1t is the largest. the grandest and the
most magnificent ruin in all Europe.
Its old walls and secret passages could
tell many fairy tale.
1t was begun in the 18th century and
being strengthened from time to time
became one of the most impregnable
fortresses in Europe. In 1859 it was
blown up by the French and in 1854
was further demolished by tightening.

"Do not lose any sleep over the defense

The Montreal Star says: There has

ing war with England as an incident of
party strife in the United States and de-
void of serious international significance.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie writes to that pa

The Vienna correspondent of the Times

The Times editorial says: There was
taclt, but significant, vo of want of conf
