A DAY ON THE RHINE.
A Georgian's Experience on the Far-
Famed liiver.
Matknce, Oct. I.—There is no sceiie
more delightful on the whole continent of
Europe than the valley of the Rhine.
Lovely and charming in its natural beauty
aud rich in its historical memories, art in all
of its departments has been placed under
tribute to enhance its attractiveness. Not
so majestic as the Hudson, nor grander in
its natural attractions than the Connecti
cut valley, yet it has lived in song and
story over a thousand years. Where is the
sohool boy or girl either who has not, some
time in their scholastic life, repeated
or heard Mrs. Bolton's ‘‘Bingen on tie-
Rhine" declaimed f
In all well-developed plans for trips on
the continent, the Rhine is never omitted
So after spending a lew days in the grand
old city ui Cologne, a party, consisting of
Hon. D. P. Thompson, a banker and large
lumber merchant ol Portland. Ore., and hi.s
excellent wife; Miss Beliof Bosion. Mass.,
Miss Ida Wilbourne, of Macon, Ga., and the
writer and wife, arranged for a day on this
classic stream.
Cologne is an old city, founded by l T bii,
in the days of Agrippa. In 51 A. L>.
Agrippina, the mother of Nero, located a
colony of Roman veterans, and it was
called Column Claudia Agrippina. From
the end of (he tirth century Cologne be
longed to the Kingdom ol the Franks.
Through ail tiie conflicts of the dark ages
the city maintained its identity, although
in the sixteenth centifrj, from the continual
discord between the leading families, its
commerce lost its importance.
The banishment ol the Protestants in lfiO-S
proved a serious and almost fatal blow to
its existence. It wus not until 1815 when
under Uu.-.situi rule Unit Cologne began to
revive, while iio>v it ranks as the lirst city
in the Rhenish Provinces, having a popula
lation of ltd,.(it), live-sixths of whom are
Roman Catholics. Tin- cathedral is said to
be the most magnificent gothic edili e m
the world. It certainly is a marvel of
architectural beauty and finish. It was
coninienced in 1348 and was not completed
until 1880.
IT WAS A BItIUHT DAY
iu September when the American pilgrims
embarked on the s!earner Wilhelm Kaiser
at the landing in Cologne. The river at
this point is 133 feet above the level of the
sea. and -1153 yards wide. There was a
goodly company, but mostly natives, who
spoke in an unknown tongue. I never can
get used to being a foreigner, but s.x in our
own party rendered the day most delight
ful. There were a number of English people
aboard, but, like they are at home, they
kept themselves aloof. With all due defer
ence to their worth uml cleverness, they arc
the queerest peopl - on earth. They take
all their pleasures sudiy, and i there is any
enjoyment in their methods it is purely
Hellish, for no otner person can get near
enough to realize it. I have traveled 300
miles on the same seat witn two English
men, and not one word was spoken on too
trip.
But Hans and Franleiu with their huge
basket, and long necked bottle; and the
everlasting pipe, are quite different on a
journey. Good humor and good cheer is
everywhere around them. France was
represented by a family or two, but they
were reticent, being in an enemy’s country.
The day w.isall that could be desired and
leaving at 8 o’clock, the hour was propitious
lor easy movement.. The steamer was neat
and comfortable, and the purser the
jollie.it Dutchman of 375 pounds 1 ever
saw. He moved about the deck with ma
jestic strides. The engine struggled ener
getically, for it had to stein both tide and
w ind. The little steamer moved slowly, but
gracefully, up the lull, for we luade the as
cent of lot) l'eet during the day.
The whole scene over which the eye could
range was a picturesque landscape. Noth
ing of special interest was noted until we
reached Bonn. The lofty tower of the
Munster, tlie handsome residences on the
river above the town, tho long buildings of
the university peeping from among the
trees, give the town a very attractive ap
pearance from the steamboat. Bonn is a
city of :,000 iu. -bitants, the seat of one of
tlie mod noted universities in the world,
and has about 1,300 students in attendance.
It was one of the first Roman fortresses on
the Rhine, and is often mentioned by
Tacitus. The city lias many points of at
traction, but we had no time for investiga
tion. From this point the river is narrower
and the scenery more fascinating.
WE SOON REACH ROLANDSECK,
one of tlie most, lieautifui and frequented
spots on tlie river. We puss an island just be
fore reaching i lie village, on which there
is a nunnery of ancient origin, built about
the twelfth century. It was suppressed in
180.’, but was opened again as a girls’ school
in 1845. It lies hidden amid shrubs and
tret's. Just above it 500 feet is Roland’s Arch,
the last relic of the castie built by the re
nowned Knight Roland. And on this
there hangs a taie, which I must
condense from the pen of unother:
Roland was the paladin of Charlemagne.
He went as a guest of Count Heribert, the
lord of tho Seven Mountains, to the ensile
of DraciieiiLiurg. The peerless Hildegunde,
daughter of the host, according to custom,
received him. Her beauty captivated him
and soon they wer ■ a.danced lovers. Their
happiness was brief. Roland was summoned
by Charlemagne to the crusade. It was re
ported that tlie bravo knight had fallen by
the bands of the iniidels. In her iiii-omota
ble grief llildeguude took refuge in tho nun
nery on tlie little island. The
report was unfounded, but when
Roland returned to claim his
bride he found .she was forever lost to him.
In despair be built the castle of wiiich one
crumbling arch remains to tell of his devo
tion. Here he lived; the only comfort iu
his solitude was catching an occasional
glimpse of Hildegundo’s fair form as she
pas-ed to and fro irom the chapel. One day
he missed her from the procession, and soon
the tolling bell told tho mournful story that
his beloved was no more. From that mo
ment Roland never spoke again. His heart
was broken. One morning he was found
cold and lifeless, his glassy eyes still turned
toward the convent chapel.
Just one-half mile from this broken arch
is a tower on the hill called Oberwinter,
which affords one of the finest scones on the
Rhine. Tlie villugu of Rolaiidseck and the
Draehenfels, with its castle, toe cliffs of
AValkenbtirg, and the whole of the peaks of
the Seven Mountains, upward of thirty in
number, form a picture of incomparable
beauty, the lovely island, with its
nunnery peeping out from under the trees,
and the grand river itself constituting the
foreground.
ON EITHER SIDE,
the banks were covered with vineyards
laden with rich and tempting fruit. The
peasants were diligent, in their labors to
keep them dressed, au<l it was not unc mi
moil to see scores of women singularly
costumed clambering up the steep hillside
where it would seem a goat could scarcely go.
Oue remarkable feature of the agricultural
help is that nine-tenths of them are women.
The men are all in the army ami the women
are left to till the land. The results are very
creditable to tlie German women.
The next place of interest was Coblenz,
at the confluence of the river Moselle and
the Rhine. It is the capital of the Rheims
province, of Prussia, and the seat of the
civil nud military authorities. It, has a imp
utation of 31,000, and a garrison of 5,000.
It is one of tho most important centres of
the wine trade, and manufactures large
quantities of chuippagne, which And-; a
market all over the world. Its history
itatse> back to the fifth century, aud it is
beautiful in situation, standing as it dues
at the junction of two of the most pictur
esque rivers in Europe.
THE WHOLE WAY HAS BEEN ONE
of the most attractive routes in the conti
nental trip. Tlie expressions of admiration
came from all quarters, and even our
English cousins became somewhat interested
in some of the dim ming scenes. At the
stern whs a dark, slender man, with his
foot resting upon the seat and his elbow
upon his knees, and bis face on his hands,
*~ > oly absorbed iu bis own
thoughts. As 1 approached him
he gave me a startling gaze as he looked
up. I apologized as host 1 could for disturb
ing his reverie, acknowledging myself an
American in quest of information. His face
assumed a quiet composure. I spoke of the
grandeur of the scenery through which we
were passing. In a subuued voice, in liuif
English and calf French, lie revealed to me
the burden of his thoughts. He insisted
that the Rhine was the natural boundary
of France, and that the people over
these hills and in these verdant
valleys were groaning under the burdens of
Germany, but that their day of deliverance
was at hand. Lilting his hand upward
with excitement, he exclaimed: “As sure
as that sun shines to-day. Lorraine and
Alsace will he avenged.’’ Remembering
where he was, his vo ce lowered, and, look
ing about him and seeing he was not ob
served, continued his execrations upon Her
many and the Germans. I asked him if he
thought France was on equal looting with
Germany in case of war. With a knowing
wave of the hand he replied: “We are
ready; we have no fears of the issue.” He
was called away by his more prudent wife
to another part ol the vessel.
RESUMING 51V PROMENADE,
and busy with tlie thoughts of the French
man, just us 1 had pu s.-d the pilot's stand,
going toward the forecastle, 1 was asked
by a jolly looking German, in plain English,
the privilege of a light, as 1 was smoking.
He seemed communicative, and 1 was anx
ious to hear the otherside, and I soon Inund
the German ready to dele and his country.
The German army jxTU.ips was never in
better lighting trim, never more eager to
meet, the foe. Their confidence, born of for
mer success in conflict with the French, is
■iich as they do not dream of defeat They
laugh in derision at the threats aid boasts
of tlieir neighbors. Tins gentleman, who
was above ordinary intelligence and accom
plishments, assured me that if tlie conflict
war forced upon them, it would be for the
utter dismemberment of the French nation.
Everv fort would be dismantled or garri
soiled with German troops and the
French army disbanded, and not only
Alsace and Lorraine, but the whole
of France, would be made tribu
tary to the German Empire. When 1
laughed at what seemed to me au impossi
bility, he retorted emphatically that tho
thing was practicable, and nothing less
would compensate for the loss of life and
treasure if this conflict was brought on.
When I told him that England could not af
ford to allow such a disturbance of Euro
pean power, ho replied that England was
helpless, having more than she could do to
maintain her own existence, so dispropor
tionate was her empire.
BOTH GERMANY AND FRANCE
are on a war footing, and the feeling
between them is ut the highest tension, and
it seemed even then, that they could not en
dure the strain much longer. Both are con
fident. As I turned away I could not but
wonder how people could be so mistaken
mid misled. The occasion was all that was
wanted for the explosion. When a few days
later 1 heard ot the firing on the German
frontier, nod the wounding of the French
St. M. ilt Wangen, and the killing of Brig
non, liis companion, I thought tlie hour
had come, blit fortunalelv the day has been
deferred. But how long?
The day was fast waning, and it was near
7 o’clock when we came in sight of Bingen,
so celebrated in song. It is a town of some
7.000 inhabitants. The Romans, when iu
possession, erected a castle here, amt during
the middle ages it was a free town of the
empire. The ruins of the old castle remain,
it having been destroyed by the French in
1080 We had but a short time at this
point,and could not have learned much if we
had staved longer, as we met no one who
spoke English. It was now quite dark, so
we left for Mayence, the point of rest,
eighteen miles distant, which we reached
about 0 o’clock.
The darkness gave us time to compare
notes. All were agreed that it had been
oue ol the most enjoyable days of our lives.
And yet ail wore of the opinion that
America furnishes as beautiful scenery and
grander mountain heights than any we lia<l
beheld that day. Still we would Hot have
returned homesatisfl -d without tuia “day on
the Rhine.” “It was a thing of beauty ,”'&nd
consequently will “be a joy torever.

A SAGACIOUS DOG.
How a Cunning Canine Tried to Fool a
Shipmaster.
From the San Francisco Call.
Capt. Williams,of the ship St. Paul, lying
at Given street wharf, is the possessor of a
valuable setter. The dog has lived with the
captain’s family in the East for
some years, and is a most intelligent
animal. Being detected in some sheep
worrying operations back East, the dog fell
into disgrace, and as a punishment was sent
to sea on the St. Paul. The captain had a
nice house built for him on the deck abaft
the mainmast. Since arriving in port every
night the dog has been fastened in hb ken
nel with a collar attached to a chain. Every
evening on going on board it has been ( .'apt.
Williams’ habit to go the kennel and pat the
dog before going to his berth. A few nights
ago, on going to the kennel, as usual, the
captain iound that a dog was there as u.ual,
but it dal not feel to the touch like the family
setter, and had no collar. < >n procunn ; a
light he found that a strange dog occupied
the house. He left the dog there
and retired. Next morning lie found
lift own dog in tho kennel us
usual with its collar on looking as inno
cent as if it had been there all night. In
the evening tho captain kept watch, and
shortly after nightfall the strange dog came
on board again and went to the kennel, 1 he
setter with its paws slipped off its collar
and scooted over the gang plank for a run
ashore, the strange dog taking liis place.
He returned next morning at daybreak,
slipped on his collar,an.l was all ready to be
patted when the skipper came out for his
early coffee. Capt. Williams then clinched
ail extra hole in the collar and awaited
developments. Just when the elec.ric iight
was lit on Telegraph Hill the strange dog
came on board again, and, going to the
kennel, prepaid and to take his place as usual.
The setter could not get tin* collar off and
had to remain. The dogs, who were
watched, had an animated conversation in
canine, Volapuk or some other language,
and then the setter retired to rest, while th ■
strange dog wended its way on shore, pon
dering on man’s inhumanity to dogs and
sorry that its newly-made friend could not
go and “run down the rag’’ in the com jinny
of tho select coterie of dogs that nightly
gather on the sea wall and adjacent
wharves.
Importance of One Representative.
From the Washington Critic.
There is a Congressional vacancy in the
Second district oi Rhode Island, which de
rives peculiur importance from the fact that
unless it is carried by the Republicans they
will lack one ot a majority of tue States,
and, in that event, would not lie able lo
elect their candidate for President, should
the election lie thrown into the House of
Representatives. The States, as they now
stand politically, have seventeen Democrat
ic and nineteen Republican delegations in
Congress, the New Hampshire delegation
being a tie. Should Rhode Island elect a
Democrat that State will also be a tie, and
neither party will have a majority in the
House. The House failing to elect, the Vice
President bccom -s President on .March 4
following, and this officer, being ehosm by
tiie Nenati, would, as that body now stands,
lie a Republican. Tile Senate consists of
thirty-nine Republicans, counting Mr. Itid
dleberger us a Republican, and thirty-seven
Democrats Should Air. Riddleberger not
vote, or vote with the Democrats, there
would he a tie in the Senate, and no Vice
President could lie chosen under the con
stitution.

CHRIST PREACHED BEFORE JOSS.
A Curious Double Dedicatory Service
In the New Pagan Shrine.
From the Arc York Shu.
One of the most novel, as well as the most
unique, dedication services tliut ever hap
pened in New York, or elsewhere, was the
one held last evening at IS Mott street, the
Lun Gee Tong Society rooms, occupying
the entire second floor of the largest build
ing in China. It has been ttie headquarters
of New York Chinese lor the past six years,
but recently the members, some 5,000 in
number, were dissatisfied with the appear
ance of the rooms and the general insignifi-
cance of the “joss shrine” or temple
attached to them. A liberal subscrip
tion brought forth thousands of glittering
coins. A commission went to Hong Long,
China, where a few weeks ago it not only
secured appropriate furniture and other
gorgeous Oriental ornaments, but also a
brand new but tearful looking joss, with
joss house and ail, the canopy around and
on top of the joss house, some fifteen feet
high by twelve wide, being most ingeniously
and fantastically carved upon n species ol
hard wood inlaid with various shades of
pure gold, the figures upon this representing
various sacred emblems, such ns the drag
ons, cranes, and the Sacred Hhi Lin, the
birth hour companion of Confucius, as well
as the managers and angels of the “other
region.”
in front of this gorgeous heap was the
magnificent altar, said to have cost over
*1,0)0. On top of this altar were the im
mense urns and vases of solid silver, some
to take the places of candlesticks, while
others were lor the burning of incenses.
The rooms were i iuhly papered and carpet
ed, while from the walls and ceilings hung
lanterns and other Oriental ornaments.
The dedication, as originally intended,
was to be purely Oriental in all its details,
but almost at the very last moment some
('hritianized Chinamen, who were members
of the Lun Gee Tong Society, made objec
tions to the committee, and insisted that
as members they have just as much to say
in its dedication as their heathen brethren.
Led by Mr. Show Shin, a leading Chinese
missionary, who has been preaching for the
past few weeks in the rear rooms of
18 to his fellow countrymen of Jesus Christ
and His saving powers, the committee
was finally made to consent to a double ded
ication —that is. both Christian preaching
and joss stick burning, both at the same
time and in the same place. Mr. Show Shin
preached Christianity to about 300 members
of the Lun Gee Tong, while Dr. Young Tye
Hing led the joss stick burning proces
sion toward the shrine of Kwau Goon. The
first preached long and loud upon the pecu
liar saving power of Jesus Christ. The lat
ter simply burned a bunch or two of per
fumed joss sticks and nearly half a ton of
counterfeited Chinese pajier money ns a
thanksgiving offering to the mighty joss for
his many mercies toward them, financially
and otherwise, and especially protecting
from the a saults of Kearneyisni.
Mr. Show .>lllll, the missionary, thinks of
preaching in the temple every Sunday.

TRANSPLANTING TEETH.
A Curious and Successful Operation a
Colored Man Underwent.
From the Sew York Sun.
Probably one of the most distinguished
colored men in town just now is the porter
at the Dental Depot. Ninth street and
Broadway. He suffers a penalty peculiar
to famous folks, that is, a weariness of the
jaw. But the weariness in his case is not
duo to oratory He has a transplanted
front tooth, and 800 dentists who meet at
the Dental Depot are trying to spoil the
shape of hte mouth by noting, frequently,
the progress of the new incisor.
Dr. Samuel C. Spooner, who saw the tooth
put in, told a ’Sun reporter yesterday just
how tho operation was performed, ’file
porter is rather good-looking and proud ol
it. The young men at the Dental depot told
him six months ago that the cavernous
s]>ace in t he glittering line of enamel marred
his beauty. They suggested that he ought
to have the space filled with u new natural
tooth, to be put in by the new process, ami
warranted to last forever or until the origi
nal owner of the extracted fheisor claimed
it in the New Jerusalem. Of course the
(Kil ter wanted to know if the operation was
going to be very painful. He was told that
it would not be, and he consented to let a
well-known dentist insert the tooth. A fine
specimen from a collection in the Court
lmdt Institute was selected. It was
scraped and thoroughly cleansed by
immersion in a chemical disinfec
tant The operation was performed
in the presence of a roomful of dentists.
The porter was a little frightened by the
display of lances and other murderous in
struments. One of the conditions upon
which he suffered himself to become a mai
tyr to science and at the same time improve
hi- looks, was that he should have plenty of
whisky to sustain him. He drank three
glasses and then sat in the capacious chair.
The operator lanced the gum and began
boring a hole in the bone. The porter
gripped lhe arms of the chair and two tears
trickled down his < hecks; but lie was game.
He merely muttered, “More whisky,”
which he got right away, and let the
operator go on with his painful work. The
boring and cutting was soon over.
Then the tooth—may be from the
mouth of some fair woman who did not
have enough like it to warrant her keeping
it in and so got a whole set of porcelain
from her dentist—was forced, gently at
first, into the bleeding orifice. This was
more painful than the boring, and caused a
flow of more tears and whisky. At last the
tooth was forced so far in that tile bleeding
edges of the gum enclosed it tightly. All
the dentists gathered around the porter at
the next meeting of the dentists and made
his jaw pretty tired examining the new
tooth. It was almost as solid ns one of his
best old teeth. To-day it is the finest tooth
the porter has, and, unlike his other teeth,
it will never ache and never decay.
How the Washington Girls Utilize
Their Presents of Roses
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
This is the season here when roses are
scattering their blooms and leaving bare tho
s iff, thorny bushes in tho gardens. They
have been beautiful all the summer, but the
last arc now going. It is the favorite flower
to present to a young lady here —not a sin
gle bud, but a bunch as big as you can
carry.
There is another old-fashioned idea that a
romantic young lady always takes the flow
ers sent h-r by her most devoted admirer,
and nuts them away with a lock of his hair.
In ; fter-life siie may drag them out of some
dark corner, and make him ashamed of his
extravagance.
But that is not wliat the Washington girls
do with their roses. They wear them i:i
their belts until they are faded. Then they
strip off the leave* and put them in some
handsome urn or jar, with spice> mid per
fume, or with just the perfume anil glycer
ine. Then they have a “rose jar,” or pot
pourri. It differs from other potpourris
only in that the leaves of no flowers except
those presented bv some favorite or fav
orites are admitted. Sometimes the blos
soms of violets and other sweet flowers are
used with the roses. It is only then valued
for its fragrance and the romantic associa
tion. Another way is to use the rose leaves
and glycerine only.
Then the young lady keeps away chapped
lips by the use of this delicate salve. It
takes many flowers for such a jar, but the
lady would have no claim to being a lielle if
she could not collect enough during a season.
The size of the jars varies according to the
measure of the flowers the fair one receives,
and there is a rivalry to be able to display
the largest jar. Sometimes the ves>ol iii
which the leaves are packed is quite beauti
ful and expensive. When it is remembered
that in the dead of winter a bunch of flowers
may cost anywhere from $5 to $3O, accord
ing to their rarity, the costly character of
the contents of the jar may lie appreciated,

j Married in Baltimore in a Barber Shop
for Want of a Better Place.
From the ISaltim <re American.
j There was quite a sensation yesterday even
ing in East Baltimore over the marriage of
a young couple in tho barber shop of George
Fitzberger, on Bank street near Broadway.
About 5:80 o’clock, when business was a lit
tle quiet, a man apparently about 85 years
of age walked into the shop and said to the
owner in a low tone; “Are you the proprie
tor ?” Mr. Fitzberger replied that lie was,
and the man, with a smile, asked if he hail
any objection to his using his shop
for a short while, saying ho
wanted to get married. Mr. Fitz
berger assented, and lie rushed out in an ex
cited manner, and in about two minutes re
turned with his intended bride. The young
lady was a brunette, about 20 years of age,
and very pretty. She was dressed in black,
and wore a black hat, around which was
twisted a black crape l and. When she was
being led into the shop, she appeared some
what embarrassed. The man, a blonde,
seemed more excited than tho lady. Tho
minister, a tall, stout man, with red side
whiskers, soon followed. He was a strang
er in the vicinity, and refused to give his
name.
The pair took up a position in the rear
end of the establishment, with their backs
to the cup < a*, the bride smiling. They
joined hands, and the reverend gentleman
tied tilt* nuptial knot. When the ceremony
was finished the groom drew his bride
toward him, as if to administer the usual
kiss; but she drew away from him bash
fully, and glancing at the spectators, said:
“Oh, no. John.” They left the shop imme
diately, as happy as two larks. When the
couple entered the shop there were only
four persons in the place—Mr. Fitzberger,
Mr. Louis Lehman, who was being shaved
at the time, another customer, and the shop
bov.
Mr. Lehman and Mr. Fitzberger were
chosen as witnesses, and signed the certifi
cate. The license gave their names as John
J. Corcoran and Ida Shaw. They thanked
the barber and walked hurriedly up the
street arm in arm. Before asking per
mission of Mr. Fitzberger, the couple went
to a store on the corner of Bank and Ann
streets and tried to get a room where the
knot could be tied. They stood on the cor
ner for some time when the man went
in and bought a couple of toma
toes, which the young lady
wanted. Each took one and ate it
as they stood on the corner. They talked
some minutes, anil were soon joined by two
others —the preacher and another young
man. The four then held a consultation,
when it was decided to ask Mrs. Murphy,
the owner of the little grocery store, to give
them the use of her dining room for a few
minutes. Mrs. Murphv seemed astonished,
but recovering herself, promptly said no.
The man walked out and the quarttete went
down the street and thence to the barber
shop.

The photographer’s lens is more discern
ing than the naked eye. A recent photo
graph of a figure-painting by an American
artist shows that a woman’s gown was first
painted a hue and texturo very different
from that finally chosen, the underlying
Brush work appearing plainly in the photo
graph. though not seen by the most atten
tive observer of the original picture. In
like manner photography reveals stars that
to the human eye are not distinguishable
from nebulous matter.

How Mozart Was Burled.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
The approaching gala performance of
"Don Giovanni” has set ull the Paris ehroui
queurs on the track of Mozart’s biography.
H rue curious knowledge has been oppor
tunely aiied. Here is the story, the authen
tic story, of the burial of the great com
poser: The interment took place on Dec. 6,
1791, in the cemetery of St. Marx, at Vienna.
In the midst of the ceremony a violent storm
broke forth in sudden furv, and the rain
fell in such torrents that all the guests and
friends dispersed. The interment continued,
and in the confusion the site of his special
grave was not remarked. None of his
friends —and many of them were very rich
—had thought of securing for him a private
grave. He was buried in a common fosse,
with many others. A few days afterward
his widow triod to identify his place of
sepulture and was unable. In 1859 the mu
nicipality of Vienna thought to render hom
age to the memory of the great composer.
A monument was to be ejected over his
tomb. Then it was found that the tomb
could not lie identified. Up to that time no
cross, no sign, no funereal emblem indicated
the resting place of Mozart. The munici
pality were resolved this scandal should not
continue. The fourth tomb at the right of
the great cross in the cemetery was selected
to have honor done to it as holding the dust
of Mozart, and since 1859 it has been treated
as Mozart’s tomb.
