The Great Duerer. --
One place to visit is the dwelling Of AZ
brecht Duerer, the painter and wood en-
eraver. You know at once that he must have
been person Of Importance; the house is
spacious, the rooms are high, the doors are
| Of oak with iron locks and hinges. The
| candelabrum for the hall is a three-headed
dragon and in its claws is the family coat
of-arms. There is parlor and studio; in
this room the great north window Is filled
with discs of glass that we see reproduced
in Duerers paintings, notably in his por-
trait. of heterogeneous. And upstairs there
are bedrooms with carved chests and cabt-

served the pots, kettles, and pans Of the
Duerer household. On the next floor above

Duerer was married to an heiress hope
80, for in his time there could not have been
much demand for pictures. And yet he was
lucky enough to have Emperor Maximil!an
for a patron. The one thing I like about
Duerer is that he had the courage Of his
| convictions; he could not have cared what
| the critics might say about his work. IN
fact, I am very sure that he was the pro-
genitor OF the poster; he never minded such
q little thing as perspective; with bold, free
hand he made his outlines and then dashed
| on the pure colors without reference to light
| or shade; it made no difference it the object
was fiat or spherical, the treatment seems to
have been the same. II like Duerer, and when
| take to painting his style shall be my model.

6 o'clock the city was astir; the soldiers had
breakfasted, and were ready to march; tho

Of the large bands came to serenade MIN.
First they played Luther's grand hymn, Elm
Festo Burg list Unser Gott;" then the pilger-
Choir song from "Tannhauser," and other Sc
Ilections, ending with ode Wacnt am Rhein."
The parade was to be at Schweinau, about
half an hours walk from the city. At 3
o'clock we left our hotel and fell in with
the crowd, good-humored and jolly, and in
somewhat more of hurry than the German
crowd usually Is. The sidewalks were for the
lihtizens on foot, while tho street between
was filled with the soldiers, who marche d
four abreast, each regiment preceded by its
band; not only one street, but three others
were given up to the line Of march Follow
ing the soldiers came carriages filled with the
Nuremberg gentry. and then the civic so
icieties.
The parade ground is ideal; large and level
rs noor, and the 10000 men were drawn up
In fine array. Not being versed in military
]parlance,. / can only say that double and triple
lines formed three sides of a square facing
the grand stand, in the center Of which were
the seats for the royal visitors, and ON either
side benches for spectators. ~.
At 8 o'clock the German Emperor and n
press, the guests Of honor, together with the
King OF Saxony and Duke of Baden, accsu.-
panied by the Prince Regent Of Bavaria. and
the court, came out by special train frcui the
city. The Empress and ladies went i.l1-

King, and Princes galloped along the sl:st.
