In the height of the
train brings fresh crowds of
eager withidpenstock
scale the heig'
latus. While the population
town is largely supported by
tors from all parts of the globe
ture, and the breeding of cattle
dy race of people. The origin of the
town is Wiled ih the mists of antiqui¬
ty, and it is doubtful if Lucerne can
claim the Romans for its founders,
as the first documents date froth the
5th century. In the year 695 was
founded its cathedral and consent.
The town was faniilies once a and repubUf fuled
by patrician continued ^japo-
such until the intervention of
leon in 1808.
Lucerne owes its eharm almost en-
tirely to the extraordinary bqouty
and picturesqueness of its situation si
on the most beautiful and romantic
lake in the whole world, that o the
“Four Cantons.” The fine pi dme-
nade with its row of chestnuts ljbntts
a favorite resort of the traveller of
every clime and tongue, who faake
this a resting place in summer^ and
gaze for hours upon the glorious
panorama of the long line of faow-
dad Alps which bound the horizon.
But a short distance rugged from the jbown
stands the dark and Mount
Pilatus, while to the left stretches a
group called Rigi. Near the prome¬
nade stands the cathedral
mentioned. The exterior is
with fine sculpture on the towi
at the entrance. The lattice work
around the altar, thie finely carved
choir stalls, the ancient stained glass
windows and the fine organ are the
objects of most interest. One of the
most interesting monuments fa all
Europe is the 'fLfan of Lucerne/’ It
Guard,” who laid down their Pertain lites at
the Palace of the Tuiterire fa
in 1792. In the
of dark gray sandstone, an artificial
grotto has been formed, and Within
this grptto lies stretched in the ago¬
nies of death a lkm. A broken Jance
pierces his tide, while bis paw rests
upon the Bourbon coat of arms as a
token that even in death he wifi not
desert his trust. Beneath is a pool
waiter overshadowed by pihee and
maples which bears the reflection of
the noble monument upon its smface.
Above the lion we read the inscrip¬
tion in la tin which says] “The \ faith
a»d valor of Switzerland” and be¬
neath are engraved the names of the
slain officers. Hewn out of living
rock, it rests there by the still waters
of the lake and though but a granite
monument dumbly it keeps watch all
around, though inanimate it speaks
londly. Near the rock stands aamall
chapel dedicated to the slain soldiers
whose bones rest in the “Chapelle Ex¬
piation” to Paris, white this tiny
thing bears the inscription “Peace to
the Unconquered.” The little ehapel
is hung with the banners ami weap¬
ons of the slain Guards, and each an¬
niversary masses are said for the re¬
pose of the souls of tihe brave dead.
To the left of the monument and
upon a small hill are situated til#
“Glacier Gardens,” a memorial of
the glacial epoch. It furnishes a
striking picture or we effect & or tae
movement of tbe glaciers in polishing
the surface of tbe rocks that Be be¬
neath them. There are great pot
holes or cavities worn fa the rock by

Lucerne boasts of aiTdtd bridge, a
most antique and dilapidated struc¬
ture of wood rooted in entirely, and
with high waited rides like a gallery.
It was built in the 13th century and
contains a series of old paintings
representing scenes from the lives of
patron saints of the town, together
with events connected with the past
history of Lucerne. Near by the
bridge in the middle of the river rises
the “Water Tower,” the oldest build¬
ing in the town. It is a great square
stone building with little narrow
windows, and was once used as a
prison, but now gives shelter to the
municipal archives. The archives
of state contain documents of the
dud succeeding centuries, diool*
lection of 12,00(1 old coins, together
with a historical and antiquarian
collection. Our first excursion from
Lucerne was upon the lake of the
Four Cantons, so called because its
four arms stretch out in different di¬
rections and are bordered by four of
the cantons or districts of Switzer¬
land. On the picturesque shores of
this lake were enacted the scenes tau
mortalized by the poet Schiller in his
play of William Tell, and a little
chapel marks the spot where Tell is
is said to have sprung ashore ■ and
escaped from the Governor’s boat.
The chapel is but a simple monument
of national history which iaan object
of much veneration to all the Swiss
people. It dates from the 15th cen¬
tury and contains paintings of the
“Leap from the Boat,” the “JQMhtii
Of the Tyrant,” the “Apple Scene”
where he shoots the apple from the
head of his son, and the, “Oath at
Rutli,” which represents the spring
bursting from a rock upon which the
three friends and patriots pledged
themselves to resist till death the
Austrian tyranny, and tradition
says that in a rocky cavern dole at
hand the “Three Tells” sleep, only to
awaken in the country’s hour Of dan¬
ger to defend her liberties. On the
morrow of Ascension day the inhab¬
itants of the little town of Uri, j with
their magistrates at their head, 8°
in procession to this shrine, and in
accordance with a time-honored cus¬
tom, hold service to the chapel, Which
stands like a tiny altar in the sublime
cathedral of mountains. This little
spot consecrated by art and by re¬
ligion will ever remain dear to the
hearts of all nations. Through
shadows of lofty diffs so
smooth that one could not {
foothold, we steer towards a betd of
the lake where arises from eighth the wjat
a slender rocky pillar f
hio-L high. Thi« This grand oxurui monument* monument- wnu was

these loveliest of waters has- now

draped in shadow, and the losing Waves
washing the shores are quickly
their ruddy hue. Only, the summit
of the Mythen continues to glow,
and yonder far across the valley the
snow peaks of the far off range as¬
sume a garb of crimson under tbe
