Berne, Joty Switzerland I
v mb, 1889. f
Dear New*— After leaving Now-
chatel our next stopping place was
Berne, the capital aud the center of
political life in Switzerland. It is sit¬
uated upon a narrow promontory
formed by the river Aar which flows
out of Brfenze, with the lake Tbouno.
The architecture ia a little severe and
massive and prepares the eye for the
imposing spectacle of the gigantic
mountains that form its background,
and without being in the mountains
it is quite closeenough to give a fine
panorama of the Alpine chain. A
part oi Berne was once an old forti¬
fied town and it 16 built far up on Jti
magnificent terrace walled in by
stone masonry, while far down un¬
derneath it lies the smiling plains
dotted by bright flower gardens and
quaint little Swiss cbatlets of (pecu¬
liar architecture. The town proper
from its high terraces has a fine view
of the sunset over the valley on a
clear day, and the luminous rays of
the bub distinctly outlines the "Croix
Federal” against the horizon, while
just in front is the snow covered crest
of the "Yung Frau” whose summit
is most resplendent under the chang¬
ing fires of the phenomena known
under the name ofthe“AIpenglnhen”
[Alpine glow] and one can truly say
it is the only spectacle of its kind in
the world.
Berne has an originality all its
own and has conserved more of its
ancient appearance than any other
city in Switzerland. It is the Berne
of a bygone past, with narrow wind¬
ing streets paved with sharp stones,
with ancient old iron bound doors
of hard polished wood studded with
great iron naiis; with sombre areades
the entire length of the covered pave¬
ments, with ornamented fountains
in the middle of the streets, and its
great pit of lazy bears. Here in
Berne one encounters bears every¬
where, not only living bears but
bears on every statute, in bronze, in
stone at the gates of the city, in shop
wiedows sculptured in wood, in ivory,
in plaster, in the magazines of art, ia
chocolate, in fact everywhere and in
all materials. The bear is the herald¬
ic emblem of Berne and is held in
great honor, and there is no proces¬
sion or ceremony in which men dress¬
ed as bears do not take a part and
march at the head. A fine iron
bridge the Kirdhenfeld adds greatly
to the beauty of the place and unites
the upper town with that part situa¬
ted below on the plains, Berne was
founded in 1191 by the due Z&hring-
en Berthold V, who having fortified
the town and held it against the hos¬
tile nobility and built the Chateau
Nydeck. The 14th century found it
a powerful and flourishing city and
sought in alliance by the neighbor
ing Cantons, but it was not until the
18th century that she embellished
herself with her principal edifices,
and though she has passed through
many changes and mixed up in many
wars and straggles she has always
sought to attain intellectual develop¬
ment, and counts today a popula¬
tion of about fifty thousand souls,
and like nearly every continental city
or town of any size, boasts of a fine
library of 80,000 volumes, amongst
which are many literary treasures,
and a historical museum which is re¬
markable for the beauty and richness
of the objects which it encloses, such
as old armor, gobelin tapestries,
church ornaments, and historic tro¬
phies. In the Rue de Justice is the
fountain of Justice with bandaged
eyes, having statues of the Emperor
of Germany, the Representative of
Berne, the Sultan, and the Pope,
These are intended to represent the
four forms of known governments,
that is—Constitutional, Monarchy,
the Republic, Absolute Monarchy
and the Hierarchy,
In returning to the principal street
we were conducted to the “Tower of
the Clock” which is very ancient,
and onced served the city as a fort¬
ress and a prison.. The clock has
two faces, while below is the face of
another clock even more original.
It is surmounted by a figure of the
founder Of Berne, and as It strikes
the hour a file of figures in ancient
costumes pass out, a cock flaps hiB
wings and an old man beats Hie
time of day, Farther on m pass the
fountain of the “Ogre” near whleh is
the great granary for wheat, it whs
constructed in 1711 and is used to
house the wheat made on the sur¬
rounding plains, while below it are
the grand caves or wine cellars, and
here are stored the celebrated wine
casks containing in all about 350,-
OOOgals, of wine, and the forethought
of the governors of Berne thus pro¬
vided that the people of Berpe
should not suffer from hunger or
thirst in time ot edge, and from this
great store of wine under ground
the saying originated that “If Yen.
ice reigns on the waters Berne reigns
on the wines.” Following a narrow
winding street hardly wide enough
to admit a carriage, and being com¬
pelled to walk in the middle of the
street from the darkness of the pave,

At each corner is a great bronze
bear from whose mouth water spouts
into a central Dasha. The portals of
the cathedral are remarkable for
their sculpture which represents
scenes of the “Last Judgment.” The
organ rivals that of Fribourg, which
is the oldest and largest in the world.
We entered the church just as the
twilight shadows weregnthering, and
the organist was giving a grand re¬
cital. One cab never know - the
grandeur of Mendelssohn’s sonatas
until heard upon such an organ. We
remained for an hour entranced by
the wonderful notes of this magnifi¬
cent instrument whose tones filled
the grand old church to its utmost
capacity, dying away in the distance.
“The souvenir of the Alps” or a ro-,
mance of a storm in the mountains!
in which some Englishmen were sup-,
posed to be overtaken, their prayer?
for safety, the elemental disturbances,!
the dashing lightning, the roaring?
thunder and finally the ceasing of the*
storm, then the soft peaceful strains
of music in the distance as the near¬
er loud notes broke into that grand!
national hymn of “God save the
Queen” which sounded as a thanks¬
giving for salvation, was caught up
by the different pipes and sent forth
a chorus in imitation of a hundred
voices throughout the length of the
whole Cathedral, and as the last
Btrains died away we bent our heads
and passed out into the open air lost
in admiration of the Roman mind
that could conceive and execute so
wonderful a piece of mechanism.

A CARD
from a Gentleman Who Prefers the
Chela Gang to Debt.
Over a year ago I was convicted in
the County Court of Spalding for
abandoning fine offlfty familv. dollars I was and sentenced
to a cost or
six months in the chain gang. The
cost in the case ran the sum up to
one hundred and thirty dollars. Be¬
ing labor a poor man living depending decided on daily
for a I to report
to the chain gang rather than em-
friends and pi
ing gone there myself without ex¬
pense to the public, and I was not home re¬
ceived by him. I then returned
in Spalding county and remain there
five or six months and then went to
Douglas county and remained there
without concealment till I was arrest¬
ed and jail. brought My friends back have to Spalding
county but I prefer propos¬ to
ed to pay me out now,
go to the chain gang as a matter of
economy, not being able to earn the
amount of the fine any easier than
to work six months in that place.
This card that; I wish I published the public for the
reason wish to
know 1 have not sought to I bring did all my I
bondsmen in trouble, as
could to comply with the law. I
thank those who have befriended me
in this matter, and feel that I can

penalty of myself. tho law without burdening
