(liberate fifteenth century work. The vault-

They are about fifty feet high by ten wide, tho
■ullions running np the full height without
tnuorns. The wrought lion works separating
the choir from the aisles, and the gates of the
istei of the chapel behind the high altar, are
s-e smeng the finest specimens of wrought
iron work in existence. Foliage, flowers and
fruits arc executed with a delicacy and rich-

Tho Cathedral of Antwerp is nnsurpassed
ju its georgeousnoss. It is cruciform in plan,
with seven aisies-an nnnanal arrangement.
Tbeie aisles are of irregular width, and their
umber, together with the numerous rows of
biers and arches, give to the interior a striking
etfret, which Is, however, much injured by
coarse detail and whitewash. Tho cathedral
1st an area of 70,000 square feet, and is of
eutons proportions, being 170 feet in width
itfidc tbo nave, while its length is about 390
pet. Had the nave been four bays longer,
liking the additional width out of the side
shies, tho apparent size of the oethedral
would havo been greatly enhanoed. Its de
tails, though rich, are coarse and debased in
character. Its groat feature il its megnlflcont
aortal, with one finished towsr, 408 feet in
height, which was commenced in 1423, bat not
lalihed until 1518. It is more in accordance
with tbo tasto of tho sixteenth century than
in union with tho original design. Furgnson
ays of it: “Although from tho lateness of its
date It li Impossible to be.satisfied with elthor
tho outlioo or the detail, it is still ao gorgoona
a specimen of art, and towers so nobly over the
buildings of tho city at to extort onr admira
tion, and a man moat havo very little fooling
for tho poetry of srt who can atop to crlticlao
it too cloaly.”
Cologne Cathedral In North Germany stands
alone in dignity and grandeur; it is certainly
one of tbo nobleit temples ovot erected by
mu tothu honor of his Creator. It waa com
menced in 1270 1275, and covers an area of
81,46-1 equaro feet, being 20,000 sqnare foot
larger than Amiens, making it the largest
cathedral in northern Europe. By comparing
Cologne Cathedral with that of Amiens, it
will bo fonnd that the castorn half of the
former is an exact copy of tho latter, not only
in general character, bat alao in general dl-
mentions; the only difference being a few feet
additional length at Cologne; this is more than
mads np by the ltdy chapel at Amiens. The
Gtimsn Cathedral haa an additional bay in
each transept, and two extra altloa in tho nave,
with the enormous inhatrnotnre of the wes-
regiment of cavalry riding through its ntve
wonldI look like pigmies dwarfed Dy tho 140
feet of i pace above them. Tho moat striking
restore is the western facade—only lately com
pleted. The twin towers, tnrronndod by dell-
eats wrought spires, rise to a height of 510 foot
Tbit western rscsdo Is s grand conception. It
squill in magnificence those designed for
Struburg and Lorraine, while surpassing thorn
in purity and excellence.

cowman ares of 71,208 aqnare foot. Its plan
is of the beat typo of crooi cathedrals. The
aisle* continue round tho choir. The east end
is multspsidal in form end contains six small
chapels with a lady chapel. On each aido of
the nays aisle are chapels, bnilt in between the
buttresses. In plain this cathedral teems to
E” “f the typical form of the nobleat type of
Christian architecture. Tho vista through it*

time when gothic architecture

On the exterior, na aeon in elevation, the effect

details being terribly mutilated. Tho coat end

aisles with side chapels carried out between the
buttresses. Tho wails are of brick with atmo
facings and window tracery. The piers and

is a barrel vaolt of wood, having rough logs
for ticbeams, with largo brackets under tho

which wu a good and substantial houaj. Ho

and it was the wonder of everyone (whoknow
him) how ho made it. Ho had three ions aud

ped tho two eldest, John and Hoiaoe, for the
overland route to California, which was quite
exptcslve in that day and time. *
li was not an unfrequent occurrence for
slaves to mtko their escape from their ma”
io Brandenburg and tho surrounding
country. Many were canght by men in Indi-
ana and returned to their owners for the re-
wufla offered, whilo many mado good their
escape into Canada. An nndergronnd railroad
wu supposed to bo working but no one could
detectit, but many had suspicions of the route.
About the year 1855 or 1856 a very vain* ’
ble negro belonging to Dr, Ditto made his
escape into Canada, and the Ditto family, be*
ing quite numerous and tho possessors of msnr
'■‘Ves, they set to work to lerretthe matter
*?*■ \ <1 ® t ® cll ve living in Indlanna was employ
ed, who soon fonnd that David Bell and an old
negro named Oswald Wright, living near
Paoli, Ind., were the secret agents for the un
derground railroad. Ho represented to Boll
mud Wright that he had aeentoo Ditto negro
!h Us**®*, who had furnished him money to
(teal bis wife from Brandenburg and convey
her to him in Canada. They readily fell into the
trap and tho arrangement wu made for tho
detective to go to Brandenburg and havo tho
wire In readiness some dark night npon the
bank of tho rivor, for tho Bells to come ovor
and get. Of course tho object of this was to
cstch them in tho act and on Kentucky soil
At the appointed hour old Boll and the negro,
Wright, remained at Bell’s house and sent
Charles B«U over in a slifir, who wu met by
the detective and woman, but wu immediate-
Iy arrested by the sheriff. They thon went acros
the- liver and got old Bell and Wright by iomo
means to come down to the wator'a edge, whore
tho sheriff would have jurisdiction, and they
*1*0 wu arrested and lodged in jail. This oc
curred in the fall of 1857, and tho two Bella
were hold to bail in the earn or (10 000, John
and Horace Bell were iuppoaed to bo rich in
Cslifornis, and that they would come and bail
their father (and Ibrotheront and take them
away; bat when they came they failed to give
bail, and the following aammer of 1853, whon
a great many people of the town were in tho
country to n barbecue, tho two brothers cross
ed tho river, and under pretence of carrying
n carpet hag of clothing to their father and
brother, overpowered the taller and liberated
them. Horace had boon an officer in tho Pe
ruvian army, and wu considered a dare devil.
He remained at his father's house in Indiana,
bnt kept ont of reach of Kentncky authorities;
but the Kentucky slave-holders were exceed
ingly anxioua to capture him at least. They
offered Yankee Bltgb, of Louisville, (500 for
his arrest. Hence hade girt in Louisville,
and she wonld go to New Albany to meet him.
8o one dty Bligh and his man followed hor
ovor there, and whon Horace came down to the
ferryboat with her they kidnaped him, and
landed him in the Brandenburg jail, forty
miles below, before tho next morning. The
excitement wu unbounded on New Albany
osar the kidnaping of a citizen by Kentncky
without lawful authority. Indignation moot-
Inga were held, and a steamboat was procured
and loaded with volunteers to reseno tho pris
oner. They came to Brandenburg, bnt the
whole county rose in arms to repulse them.
They had a cannon on tho steamer, and In case
they ware compelled to surrender tho town
was taken ont of jail and carried to the
flag of truce wu sent on shore from the itoamor,
which wu met by the good dtlzene, and it
wu finally agreed that Boll abonld bo brought
back, tried, end given bell, all of which wu
done. And thus ended what seemed to boa
very serious matter, bat wu nothing more
than a large sized farce.
NAVIGATING THU OCONEE.
A Fruitless Attempt Made to ;Rim a Boat
From Harnett Shoals to lid* Water,
from the Athens, Ga., Banner.
It ia not generally known that the Oconee
river, u far north u Barnett’a a bools,hu been
declared by legislative enactment a navigable
stream, and banco it la In the power of any
boatman to demand passage through tho dams,
although only one has ever exorcised this
power. Yean before the war an old man
named Lovl Crawford decided that ho would
bnlld a boat, launch it at Barnett’* ehoale, In
Oconee county, and make a trip to Florida on
carried to success, ao far as , .
and branching it. It wu n queer looking craft,
something on tha order of a flat boat, with a
long polo hahind by which to
steer It. and manned by n crow of hu
■laret. He had stretched npon the craft tents,
and every comfort necauary for his journey.
The nowa of the building of tho boat created
quite a atir along tho river bank, and oape.
rtally with mill mao, who had dams serosa
the stream, as they know that the law requlr-
ed that they give passage to all boat*, and It
wu incumbent on them to branch the boat
below the obstruction or remora their duns.
Tho first dun reached by Crawford’o boat was
at Scull shoals, then the property of Ppollain.
It wu Friday evening when this point wu
gained, end the owner of the boat decided to
tie np for awhile. Sunday hundred* of people
from the remanding country flock
ed to the river to eoe tho etrengo eight.
Dr. Ponllsin, taking advantage of tho crowds
of lusty blicks on the banlra proposed to Mr.
Crawford to lot him bar* hla boat Uftodarennd
th* dam, u it would prevent him etopping all
of hia force. Bnt the request was refused,
with tha information that be did not believe
in laboring on the Sabbathday. Monday mora
les Crawford announced hie desire to move on,
end Dr. Fonllaln had to atop every plow In hla
dcldaand man in the fretory from work to gat
tho boat over the dam, which wu finally ac
complished after a great dul of labor and
planning. This same thing wu repeated at
every obstruction acrou the itraim, until by
theUmoMillodgoriU* wu neared the boat
had been shaken to pieces with so much
handling. Here it struck some
shoals in tho river and was duhed to
pieces on th* rocks, tho owner and his crew
barely escaping with their liras and losing
everything they had on board. Thodestrnc-
tion of tho boat wu hailed with pleasure by
all mill-owners on tho Oconee, who would
secretly have rejoiced to hear that th* owner
wei alto drowned for tha trouble he had given
them. This wu the first and last attempt
made to navigate the upper Oconee, el though
■o heard a gentleman predict only n few days
■go that before many yean, that through
means of locks and canals, boats would be run
ning as far np u Athena. In the north there
are smaller streams than the Oconee rendered
navis able, and now that congreu hu appro-
I rlatcd the mnnifieentrem of (L500 as a start
tn improving the river, we may took for great
things.

TENNESSEE POLITICS.
The political situation In Tenneuoo is an
anomalous one. Two bioUraia, one s democrat
and the other a republican, are opposing each
others* candidates for the (office of chief execu
tive of tbs Hate. History doee not afford a paral
lel to tbls remarkable contest,
"Bob" Teytcr, tho democratic candidate, and
“Air’ Taylor, the republlcsn candidate, prior to
1880 were unknown save to their immediate
friends. Today they are not only known
to all tho people of the United State,
but even tbo Engli.h speaking people
on tbo other sldo of the “big pond" are
dltcueilng them. 1 found In a London paper not
long ego tbls rather aetonlibtng piece of nows
about them: "In tbo province of Tcnncsseo, U.
8., two brothers Taylor are’running’ for office as
the candidates respectively of the dynamite sod
anti-dynamite factions In tho labor party. The
position they seek is that of major-general of the
provincial troops”
In tho office of the Chattanooga Times, Satur
day night last, I obtained some interesting Infor
mation concerning Bob Taylor. It wu given mo
by Mr. L, o. Walker, who, by tbel way, Is one of
the brightest young men connected with tbo prese
of Tennessee.
In 1880 the democratic nominating convention
of the first district of Tennessee wu held at Jones
boro. The night preceding a number of the
vocngeildclegstcs were on tho porch of tho hotel
discussing the merits of candidates. Bob Taylor,
then a clerk In a lawyer's office, wu present, and
beard the dlscosslon. After a white be said:
“ Roys, what's the use of worrying about a candi
date ; nominate mo, and I'll lead the democratic
hosts to a stand triumph.’’ The “boys" wore
ready to accept any suggestion. They accepted
Bob Tsylor'e end next dey they nominated him
amid great enthusiasm.
Outside of tbo vllligo debating society Bob Tay
lor bad never made * speech. He had thundered
sophomoric eloquence upon the heads of the mem
bers of the society, but no others bod ever beard
btm orate. But Bob Taylor could play the fiddle.
He was asked by an Italian musician upon one oc
casion If he could play the "wlolccn." ’ Wloleonl”
he ejaculated, “I never beard of the thing! But
I’m b— on tho flddlo." Bo could play tho flddlo
with hla left hand u well u with his right. "Su
gar In the Gourd," “Old Han Tucker,” “Whoop-to-
doodle-doo," and “Bun, Nigger, Run," were among
the choice (elections with whloh he wu wont
to charm hla tndlencce. Hla friends said of him,
one to the other: “Bob Taylor can draw more
maeto oat of* fiddle than ail the balance of the
world, Including General Jackson and the
simy."
After his nomination, Bob Taylor wu not inset-
ire. Ho proceeded at once to enter npon a vigor*
one campaign against hla republican opponent, a
man named rottlbone. He bought a carpet bag o
tremendous proportions and u fiat u s pancake.
What he put Into It nobody bnt himself ever
knew: bnt it wu believed that there wu more of
nothing then anything else bid away
in its capacious interior. He wont
among the flee and easy mountaineers of hla dis
trict and held iweet commnnlon with them. He
wonld begin by playing a tone with hla right
bud, and follow it with one played with hi* left
hud. Then he would abuse I’etllbone. Another
tone followed, sneceedoa by a little direnton of a
political nature. He advocated free liquor and
plenty of It. He ebook bands effuatvaly with the
mountaineers, compUmented the women until
their blushes censed their check* to glow with
oven rotier hues then thou produced by mountain
brceaea, and kissed every baby that ho could find,
provided it wu without color-that li, provided it
wu white.
Allthe world knows the result. Bob Taylor wu
elected to congress. FetUbon*. poor ReltlttOM,
whoso musical education may bo properly repre-
aonted by 0, wu relegated to tho obscurity of pri
vate life.
Bob Taylor’s career In congreu wu anything bnt
brilliant. Ho made a speech in behalf of the
moonshiners which caused tho New York Trftmn*
to ridicule him so unmercifully that It wu toil
three days after the appearance of the aarcuttc ar
ticle before ho appeared In hie Mat in tho house of
representatives.
What Induced the democrats of Tennessee to
make Bob Taylor their candidate for toe govern,
ship I don't know. Ten days spent in Tennessee,
before and after Iht nomination, failed toon-
lighten mo.

there is s young lady who sometime* visits Geor
