Iterlia the great metropolis ot united Oermauy, is a splendid city of over a mil lion of Inhabitants, and Is one of the most attractive capitals or Europe. It it an active, busy, modern place, with little that is interesting in its history, previous to shej days of Frederick the Great. Laing most accurately describes It when he says "Berlin has the air of the metropolis of a Kingdom of yesterday; no Gothic churches, d arrow streets, fantastic gable-ends, bo historical stone and lime, no remnants of the picturesque age to recall the olden time." It is a fresh, wide-awake city of the present, with broad spacious streets and handsome latter-day structures. The principal street "Unter den Linden," is lined with grand buildings and lofty Palace?, and is a magnificent thoroughfare, not surpassed by any other in the world. Here are to be seen the Palaces of the Emperor, and the Crown Prince, and beyond in the square of the "Lustgarten" the immerse ,lKtmitllich8 Schlosa" or "Royal Palace." Tai is one of. the grandest royal residences of Europe and is most handromely famished and decorated, eren the doors bei a ? so richly finished that visitors are compelled to pat on felt shoes, kept there for the purpose,be:ore the attendants permit them to enter the "White Hall" aad the Magnificent 'Throne Room." Kear the palace stands the "Royal Museum," comprising the Old and New Museums. The Old contains an Antiquarian collection, a fine Sculpture gallery and a large I'ictnre gallery, in which is to be found some very celebrated paintings, among them the noted "Madonna Ancajani" of Raphael, and "Düke Adolph of Uaelderlasd and Father," by Rembrandt, and the famous works of Cor regio, "Leda and the Swan" and "Io and the Cloud," which we see so universally copied. In the rotunda stands the well-known "Amazoa," by Kiss, aad in front of the building the enormous granite vase, over sixty-feet in circumference, said to be the largest in the world. Back of the "Old Museum" is the "New Museum," containing rich Northern, Egyptian and Ethnological collections. Near to this stands the National Gallery, devoted only to the exhibition of modern paintings. Berlin is not particularly noted for its churches, and, beyond the "Dom," or Cathedral, where members of the Royal Family are buried, there are none possessing much attraction for the traveler. Among the public buildings of interest are the "Reichstags-Gebaude," or Hall of the fierBia HoumoI Representatives, the "Herrenhaus," or Upper Chamber ot Parliament, and ßadzlwill PaIscs," belonging to Prince Bismarck. Many handsome monuments are erected in different parts of the city, the most important beiaar those to Schiller, Blncher, Frederick Wilhelm, III.. and the ollosal equestrian statue of Frederick the Giert, one pf the finest monuments ever constructed. In the "Belle Alliance Platz" stands the Column of Peace. 197 feet high, and opposite ia the "Konigsplatz" with its great monument to Victory. At the end of the Unter den Linden is the '-Brandenburg Gate," the principal entrance to the city, and oyer it rises a magnificent triumphal arch surmounted by the Car of Victory. irHTHi KumoB Asa rtEKi.m's ?la K8 or AMCSKMKNT. Berlin is well supplied with theaters and I had the pleasure of eeemg the aped Emperor William while on his way to attend a performance at the ' Schauspielhaus" or Royal Theater. I attended a performance at the magnificent Opera Hou?e and witnessed the great spectacular production cf "Sardanapaius," the grandest thixg of the kind I have ever seen. The Germans at hjroe, as elsewhere, eDjoy nothing more than gatHeriaz in the evening in the pleasant public gardens where hey sit about, listening to delightful music while tby sip ttuir beer and exchange plea.-n.nt groeiicgi and gosiip with t.eir fries'ia and acquaintances. In ths days it my Crst visit to Berlin, the principal places of thi3 character were ye brilliant - Stadt Garten" with its ssTety.five thousand gas-burners, and tbe, xloß'agerM where twelve great bands 'ah seven hindred musicians furnishe) 'mo3t enjoyable music, but these have aiace givea way largely to the "Kroll Garten aad l.a Hell Alliance'' vich are now favorite summer gardens f.r the Berlinese. Bit the erc&teit public resort of thjcity is the "Th:enErfen," a lovely park onuining the 7oo!ogic&l Garlens and stitues to Gottce, King Frederick William, III., and 'tieen fiOsiaa. Three miles bevond the Rrendeolurg Gate is the suburb of Charlolteuburg, where is located t!ie Palace of Frederick the First, and the nugnificent mausoleum of FrederlckWilliim, III,, and the Road Q leen Loiisa. Every visitor to Berlin also makes the excursion to rotsdam, sixteen miles distant. This is the Versailles of Prussia, and i3a city of piacee, there beinsr in and aloot it the following royal residences: "SansSrocl," the fa vor re Pa'ace of Frederick the Great, and the place where he died: the "New Palace," boilt by him after the Seven Yean' War; the old "Jloyal rlace," ballt In the 17th Century: the pretty "Marble Palace" of Frederick William, II., and the "Palace ot Babelsburg," the usail residence of thePitces! Royal. I canu'it a glimpse of the Crown Prince,"! "naer Fritz'' and his wife Victoria at Sans Sjuci. They tried very hard to enter their carrlaze and drive away unobserved, but failed in the attempt, as the crowd followed the empty carriage from place to place, and every where that carriage went we lambs "were sure to go." The reat Frederick alejp bis last sleep ia the "Garrison Kirche" a1- Potsdam, contrary to his lastwiabes as hs asked to be boned at "Sans SoucI" with bis war horse and bis dogs. The "Tabacks Collegium" or "House cn the Basin" where nis eccentric father used to deliver his "Tobacco lectures" stands on the borders of the lake. TOCB 05 THE SHIS' f, leaving Berlin and vicinity now Ire trace ray steps over the route previously described and ej back again to Cologne. From Colovne I go to Majence by rail and taking the boat at that point begin the enchanting tour of the riverlihlne. Travelers In all ages have sung the praises of the grandeur of the scenery along the Rhine and Itballcot dwell upon them now further than to briefly mention the points of interest along the way. Mayence or "Mainz" is tb head of the trade in Hock" wines, and is the lirjt p'are la Hee Darm etadt. At Büdesheim', there is an old Cm tie and Tower close to the river back snd tbe tides of the mountains and bills beyond are covered with the clinging vines from which come th "Budffiheimer" wines. Back of the town, upon H Niederwald slope, rises tbe great statue in (J era an Is, dedicated by the Emperor la Uit aal one et the grandest monuments

in Christendom. On the opposite side of the river is "Fair Bingen on the Rhine," a great market for wines and always a plaoe of interest to the traveler. The ruins of the castle of "Khrenfels," near here, look down upon the remains of the "Mease Tower," made famous by Bouthey la his ballad of wicked "Biehop Hatto." "Honseek Castle," above Nieder nelmbach. and "ßooneck Castle," the property of the Emperor, are next passed, and near Caub, In the middle of the river, we see the old "Pfalz Castle," the toll-house of the Emperor Lewis, of Bavaria. Back ot the town of Caub, on a high projection, rises the ruined castle of "Gutenfels." At 8L Ooarhausen we see the watchful "Oat Castle," aud opposite, at Wei mich, its com panion. the CM tie known as the "Mouse." At St. Goar the ruins of the old ruined cattle of "Rheiofela" overlook the town. Shortly before reaching here we pass the celebrated "Iorelie Rock," where the Sinn with her golden harp was wont to lure the ancient Rhine mariner upon the treacherous rocks. Beyond Is tbe "Sieben Jungfrauen, " or the "Seven Maidens," wven recks which rise peculiarly in the middle of the channel. Next we pass the ruins of "Sterrenberg" and "Liebenstein." known as the 'Two Brothers," and higher cn the left the old castle of "Stolzenfels," and come to the important city of Goblence, situated at the juncture of the Rhine and the "Blue Moselle." It is a favorite summer residence of the Eu press, and near the city stands a pyramid erected to the memory of tbe French Generals, lloche and Marceau, who are buried here. Opposite the city on tbe right bank rises the renowned fortress of "Eürenbreittein" known as the "Gibraltar of the Kline. It stands some 400 feet above the level of the river snd is defended by 400 heavy cannon. Farther down is Weissenthurm where it is claimed Osarcroessd the Rhine In the old Roman days, and where General Heche crossed io later years with the French army. On the left is Mühlhofen close to the great Krupp Iron 'NVork, cd still descending, we pa?3"ltheinick Castle" and along the ttcep banks of the rivr fe the vines growing in baskets fastened to the barren mountain sides. Near Remagen we behold the high bill of "Apollinarisberg," and near by Is the Apollinaris Bpricg that gives name to the mineral water now ro nnirersally used Passing the rains of the castle of "Rolandaeck" on tbe oppesite shore is seen the famous "Siebtcgebirge" or "Seven MouotaiQ3," a group ail of which are over one thousand feet high. Tbe principal one is the noted peak of Dracbenfels. On its top are the remains of an old castle once the chief seat of the Robber Barons of the Rhine. This ia regarded as the most picturesque part of the Rhine and Byron beautifully says of it: "The castled crag of Prachenfels, Frowns o'er the wide nnd wludisg Rhine, Whose bit set ol waters broadly swell. Between tbe banks that bears the vine, And hills all rich with blossomed tree. And lields which promise corn and wine. And scattered cities crowning the?e. Whose far white wails along them shine." A little below Drachenfels, on the other side of the river, we come to Bonn, one of the leading cities of Rhenish Prussia and renowned for its great University. Thence we soon arrive once more at Cologne, where oux tour of thcRhine is at an end. I cannot attempt to do justice to the continuous loveliness and grandeur of this charming trip, one must see for themselves to aopreciate the beauties of the vice cJad hills, the enchanting scenery, tbe romantic old castles, and the pictureique ruins with all their wealth of interesting traditions and historical reminitcences of thousands of years ago, even before the time wh6n (: er had crossed the Rhine; but had not yet crossed ths Rubicon to make himself master o' the world. I do not forget the beautiful scenery of many of our own American rivers, bat there is an indeecribibie interest and romance aefocialed with the Rhine, and the recollection of the delightful voyage npon its waters will not soon fade from my memory. "Adieu to thee, fair Rhine, how long dellghtod Tbe straDger lain would Hoger on nis way, Tbine li a scene alike where souls nolted On lonely contemplation thus might stray; And couM tbe ccaselees vultures oeae to prey On sell condemning boeoma, it were here, y licreoature nor too tombre, nor too gay, Wild, but not rude, awtal. yet not austere, Is to the mellow earth as autumn to the year."

THE KTHEKI.A5T6 fECTMARITlIS OK THE COl'RTBY ASH TKOI TK. Taking my departure from Coloene, of which 1 have previously written, 1 go by wsy of Emmerich, Utrecht and Am heim to Amsterdam, the largest and mo3t important city of the kingdom of Holland. This old Lmtch country of the Netherlands teems to rise out of the water and a large rart of it is really below the level of the sea and is only saved from inundation by the huge djken that have been raised alone the shores of ths Zayder .;e. Cana's rur. in all directions and are as numerous a'j public roads are with us aud the trans portation oi ine country is largely carried on by their aid. Another striking feature to the itranger is the numerous wind mills to be teen in all parts of the country. There sre said to be over ten thousand of them in Holland and they are used for all sorts of purpoees. Tbe Dutchman is a nuiet plodding, wellbehaved cufzeo, frugal and industrious, with an ore to the "guilders" and "stiv ers." but always honest, cleanly and oriler ly. It is in Holland that we see thereat Dulcbrean (not German) in all his glory. and he hes bis own striking peculiarities to a very marked decree. He is happy and contented in the belief that he has the fin est cattle in the world, makes the bes cheese end tbe strongest gin, and smokes the longest pipe and the best tobacco. There is no place in Karope where the people possess more distinctive traits of character and no country where they cling with greater tenacity to the habits and customs cf their forefathers. The houses are built on the same quaint plan, the mannen hive cot cr ared, and the dress Is the same as a hundred years ato. In tbe rest of Europe the I eaeants have, to a considerable extent etvtn up their natidcal tfiess, but it is not so here. Every province has Its peculiar cottnme, which is generally worn, and however much the people are thrown tonether, each person wears the particular Irrss belonging to his or her province. A peculiar headdrees of tbe females, which differs in each province, is always worn; .Ikewise the heavy wooden shoes. One of the natives, in sreaking of his wooden ihoes, remarked "they are very handy in a row, and then they make such nice drinking cur in cases of necessity." The women ot the laboring classes are the most industrious creatures I ever taw. Tbey scrab and scour from morning until sight, snd knitss they walk along tbe street. A Fair lsgoint;on here tow. which gives me a good opportunity to study the peculiarities of the peasantry. AMttl KCl'AV ITK f HABACTEP.ISTICS A lid ATTRAT10S Arcittrdsm is a large and well built city, and its four principal streets and canals evidence mat business activitv. They are named the "Prinren Gracht," 'Hingel Grachl," "Kejeer Gracht" and "Herren C.racht," and together with the other canals they divide the city up Into nearly a hundred islands, connected by some :00 bridges. Aaisterdsm is entirely built in the water on piles driven Into the sand. The kouee of Rembrandt is carefully preserved fcere, and many of bis best works are to be teen in the "Kyks Museum." Rembrandt's "Night Watch," Paul Potters "Bear Hont,'' Dow'a "Eveniog ficbool" and Van der Heist's "Banquet ot the Civil Guard" are among the famous works of this collection. Tbe Zoological Gardens contain a fine collection, and a large trade In wild animals is carried on In Amsterdam. Most of our menageries get their supplies largely from here. The Royal Palace is a great big structure, but compared with othtr Eorop ean palaces there is

little in It to admire, although the Dutch think It marvel of elegance. In these old Dutch eities, little mirrors turned each way along the street are placed outside the windows of all the houses, peculiarly ar ranged so that my lady can si in her boudoir and see all tha goes on In the street without being een herself and beet of all can see when

that "horrid" Mrs. Smith or Jones rings the door bell and thereby is given timely opportunity to instruct the servant to say not at nome." this no doubt wouid be a wtlcome innovation to the ladies of Indian spoils. On the day of my arrival I observed a terrible commotion around the hotel and discovered that it was caused by the arrival of a German Princess, sister of tbe Km per or and her son, one of tbe Hohenaollern Princes. Of course I stared at them along with the rest of the "mob," only to find them very ordinary looking people. I was unable to observe any oi that divinity which doth hedge a king. or bia near and dear relations. The prin cipal occupation of the Inhabitants of Amsterdam eeems to be the cutting and polishing of diamonds, this being the only place in the world except Antwerp where this business is carried on to any great extent The process la very interesting and I had the good fortune to be shown thronen one of the largest diamond cutting establishments In the city. The rade is almost entirely in the hands of the Jewish residents, of which there are eaid to be some 50,000 in Amsterdam. An interesting excursion is made to Broek, a wealthy suburban town, five miles distant, famed for it peculiarities, especially ta cleanliness. 1 did not go out there on this trip, but did so upon my previous visit to Holland many years ago and at that time the desire for cleanliness was carried to such a ridiculous extent, that the citizens removed their shoes before entering their houses, and no horses and carriages were allowed to enter the town. TDK HAG CK, CA TITA I. OK HOM-AKI. Leaving Amsterdam and passing through Leyden and Haarlem, a ride of hirty-six hours.and The Hague, the capitsl of Holland lit reached. It Is a very pretty place, but would not amount to much if it were not the capital. The King's Palace Is not an imposing structure, and the earns may be said of the Palace ot tbe Prince of OraDge near by. The "3tatf s Oeneral" or Dutch. Parliament meets in the old build ing known as the "Buitenhof," in front of which etandi a statue to William First rinoe of Orange. The chief place of interet at tbe Hague is the splendid collection of paintincs in the Rdyal Museum of the "Maurus Huis." Its greatest attraction is the celebrated work by Paul Potter, enti tled the "Young Bull." It occupies the ntiresideof one room, and is valued at 2Ö.0C0. llembrandt'B famous "Anatomic al Lesion," is also in this collection. Three miles distant from the city is the fashion able watering place of "Sheveningen." a popular summer resort for the nobility of Northern Europe. The drive out is along a lovely road, called the "Voorhaut," re turning by the way of the queen palace, the Hou;e in the W ood." The King in bis early days was so very devoted to his wire that it ia said he actually paid her a short visit once a year ! It was at Shevenirgen that Charles If., embarked on his return to England "to claim his own again." The straggling town adjoining is typical fisherman's village, and the day I was there fish nets were spread out everywhere ou the gras to dry, and the "iiah wives'' were busily engsged in mending them. TO SRUSSKLS VIA DKLKT, ROTTERDAM AM) ANTWERP. From Hague it is a short ride of 1 1 miles to Rotterdam by way of Delft, noted for ta pottery or "Del ft ware." Rotterdam la the second city of the Netherlands in im portance and population, and is fast be coming one of the great shipping ports of Europe. Hut amone ail its snips x regret to say that the Star Spangled Banner In cot seen floating at the masthead ot any vessel. There ia an attractive promeosJe along the quay called the "Boompjes." built on wooden piles, and tbe city is divided about equally into streets and canals. Rotterdam was the birthplace ot Erasmus, and his house is preserved ia the "Kerkstraet." Although an active business place, there Is little to interest the traveller in Rotterdam, and I am soon up and away across the Belgian frontier and on to the city of Antwerp. Antwerp is a large busv commercial city, and Que ot the art capitals of Europe, The most celebrated paintings of tbe Flemish school are to be seen here, and particularly the most renowned of all the works of Rubens and Van Dvck. A very pretty house is still pointed out as the house in which Rubens lived and died. lie is buried in tbe church of St. Jacques with one of his best works, the "Holy Family," suspended over his tomb. The Cathedral is a magnificent structure, and contains the most celebrated p&inticgof Rubens, "lhe Descent from tbe Cross." ''The Crucifixion," considered the best vork of Van Dyck, is in the Mmeum. Most of the great artists ot me Fiemiih school lived at Antwerp. Rubens, Van Dyck, Teniers, Jordaen3, Snyders and Quentin Matsys were either natives or spent the greater portion of their lives here, and their masterpieces are to be found in the Museum and di3ercnt churches. A peculiar iron canopy, made by Matsys when a blacksmith, 6tai.da in front ot tbe cathedral. On the outside walls of St. Paul's church is a peculiar work made by the Monks, sid to be ftn exact copy ot "Calvary" and the S a. vioi's tomb. Tbe only place of importance on the road from Antwerp to Brussels (only an hour's ride) is Malines or Mechlin, almost as famous as Brussels for its laces. "Belgium's Capital" is of sufficient importance to deserve a chapter unto itself, snd I will therefore postpone a description of Brussels until my next. W, E. 15. Attempted Train Wrecking. Cfntraua, I1L, November 3. A villainous attempt was made yesterday morning to wreck the Jacksonville Southeastern Railway constroction train conveying men and material to a point five miles below Walnut Hill, where tbe track is being laid Cn XL8 tntfESHm to Drivers' Station. The attempt was ml!- birhCPg ties below and above the rails on a sharp i drve. It was iust coming daylight when the train reached the point, but the brakemaa discovered the obstruction, and the train was topped within a few yarda of it. Over 100 men were on the train, and Contractor Collins eays that if they bad been running fifteen miles an hour instead of five, a wreck would have taken place in which many of his men would have been killed. Mis. ltiitbeifotd Declared Not Guilty. Rkkspii.air, November 1. Special. The argument in the case of tne State vs. Hannah Rutherlord was concluded to-day. Judge Hammond comurr.td t':s forenoon and made an able and sympathetic appeal for his client. He was followed by Ralph W. Marshall, Prosecuting Attorney, who made an able, logical and eloquent argument for the State. Judgs Ward instructed the jury at treat length. The jury repaired to their room, and after being out about half an hour signified their agreement. The defendant sat by her counsel with a handkerchief to her face, and the jury slowly took their seats, and the foreman answered that tbey had agreed upon verdict, and the verdict wasai follows; "We, tbe jury, find the delendant not guilty," and Hannah Ruthorford walked out of the room a free woman.

Indignation at BenaLner Over lb Acquit. tal of Mrs. Kutlierford -Killed by a Colt Weddiacs, Kte. Hartforo Crrr, November 2. (Special. learning that "John Owen 8aidtr," the "great pedestrian," is slowly, but eurely, nearlng the end of his journey, the .Sentinel correspondent visited him to day.aod found him as npon all other occasions for the last three years, still upon his motonous round. I accosted him familiarly with "Good morning, Uncle John," lie nodded his head, extended his hand and motioned me to walk with him. Tne air being cool, and his pace slow, I accepted his invitation, and taking him by the arm, for an hour or more traveled about with him. "Well, Uncle John," said the reporter, "you look less hale and hearty than when I visited you last." "Yes," said he. "I feel I am nearing the end of my journey. This day one week ago was the third anniversary of my tramp, and I thought npon that day perhaps I might end it, and oh how I rejoiced at the approach of death, I became blind, staggered, felt faint, and thought my journey about over, but 1 revived again aud am compelled to still keep up my tramp until the Creator "says it is enough," aud gathers me to himself." 'You don't think your aiflictioa a judgment then." "Oh! no; I never was a very great sinEer.unlessi it be a crime to be unfortunate, and a sin to be always very poor." "Can't jou lie down to rest?" "I have not been able to lie down but once in three years, and then only for aa hour, and it made me so tired and lame, that I was compelled to run, for live hours to become easy, aud rested." It is averred by those that witnessed that feat, that he travelled ten miles an hour, and compassed fifty miles in that time, "How rosny miles do you walk in twenty-four '": "I average about twenty, and often travel every hour, yes every moment of the twenty-four hours, not a moment's sleep only what I get while traveling about. "Bast week," he continued, "I walked for three days and nights and never sat down for a single moment. I often awake from snoring so loudly while I am tramping about. This may seem strange, but then my trouble is a very strange one." "How did your disease fint manifest itself Mr. Snider? "Three years ago tbe twenty-fourth of October, at about 10 o'clock, while at work in tbe timber with my boys, I felt a peculiar and indescribable sensation in my arms and hands, they first became numb, then an involuntary jerking, twitching and cramping of the muscles, that lasted for a short time, then went into my legs and feet, where like sensations and motions took place. I could get no rest, only by lifting my feet and keeping them in constant motion. I then commenced walking about in a circle in the rear of my dwellirp. It was my only means of relief ard now, for over three years I have cantinned tn journey." "Did yon call a physician at once?" "Yes, one was Eent for, and came. He tried to convince me that it was in my head, and cot in my feet and legs at all. I told him I did not need hts services. He left. At least Ufty doctors have visited me, and at least as many more examined me, and every one of them could tell exactly what ailed me, and every one differed. I have no confidence in the doctors." "Do the ministers-ever call upon you?" "Oh yf s, frequently, and they are very free whh their aJvie and opinions. An Ev argsllst faith enre came one day and said he could cuje me. He went down upon his knees aad prayed so long aud loud ibat it inaJa me tired. He süd, 1 bad no faith. 2 told him to go over to a cghbora ant cure a poo : fellow aJHcted with a Cancer and then call again, and I would have xaore faith, lie nsver returned." "Don't yoa get lonescme at night when very one is asleep but yourself?" "Well ot late I do feel a little lonesome and sad at times. 1 fear I may die aud none be near me ta know how I die or assist me if I need help. I wish to die while walking about." "l"Vhat is your religions belief?" "I formerly was an 'Iron-side Baptist,' but my three years' aillictiou has warmed my heart toward all mankind. And I think everybody ought to be happy 'Over there;' then I can't see what pleasure it would give the Creator to punish us, or what good it would docs. What do you think of my opinion? ' "I said, Let's shake hands on th proposition." We shook. "How old are you? ' "I am 5J years old," Bald he, "and ought to Hy. until I am 7f." ''Do jou like to have reporters visit you?" "Well, yes; tbey treat me better than any other class of persons. They irequently make me say things in the papers I never dreamed of, but then tbey generally treat me kindly and assist me," 1 took Mr. bnider's temperature; it registered : 3 10; pulse. 03; respiration, 32; breathing honied and labored; eye less bright: step lees Grm and elastic: counteaxce cadaveric to a degree that renders his featof eS ghastly ;a nervous tremör about the hands; form bent and emaciated; voice weak, feeble, the effort to converse apparently psinful; skin sallow: appetite depraved; digestion impaired countenance. anxious. Every physical indication points to A speedy dissolution. Mr. Snider converses in a reasonable and apparently rational manner upon every and all subjects and especially concerning the terrible malady that has tsken complete posse iion of him for over three yesrs. He converses in a clear and convincing way. Heesys the only re let he can obtain is in keeping in motion. Tj s'op meats suicide to stop means death, and a terrible death. That to stop the legs aad feet cramp until the torture is beyond endurance in ita intensity. He has been walking now l.OX days, four miles an hour twenty hours ot every twenty-four; eighty miles a day, and In 1,01). days has compassed 7,(KK) miles, more than three times the circuit of the globe, and vet his journey is not ended. He travels now about two miles an hour. He never lies down. When he wishes to rest, or sleep, he sits down in a chair, and as soon as rested or awake, on he goes. He cuts his hair and shaves himself while tramping about, with the skill of the most accomplished tonsorial artist, lie eats, drinks, bathes and sleeps as be continues bis journey never lies down to rest was never sick an hour in the three years of bis peregrination always cheerful, patient and considerate about those dependent v,xn him for a living. No device but has been resorted to by

his relatives and friends to get him to forero his trarap. Even physical force has been brought to bear, but his tearful entreaties and heart-rending pleadlegs warn them it were better to desist. Nothing in medical literatare parallels the case. Nothing that may compare with it. Mr. Snyder's case ia truly the most peculiar and remarkable In Ita duration ever chronicled in medical history. In rain and sleet, mud and snow, mid sunshine and storm, in all kinds of weather, night and day, he has kept up his tireless ronnd. On and on in his monotonous, endless tramp, never tiring, flagging, or faltering yet "on and on," mornlTg, noon and night, he goes. and will continue to travel, until his journey leads him into the grave. He never murmured or complained at his lot ever manifesting a deep and paternal care for his family, consisting of a wife, two sons and three daughters. Unfortonate In life, always poor, but religious) honest "in all things," he has lived, commanding the respect and confidence of all about him. At present they live in a rade lot; cibm on a fifty acre farm seven miles from this city, purchased with the proceeds of his pedeetrianism accumulated at county fairs and in diflerent museums throughout the country. Tbe path about his humble home is worn fully six inches deep and as hard as iron. I examined the muscles of his legs they are as firm as rawhide, though lessened and dwarfed in size. Heia neither a crank nor crazy, and call his peculiar morbid hallucination what you may, monomania or dementia, yet to-converse with him dispels tbe theory of his being of unsound misd. There is an equananimity of temperament, clear reasoning, quick perception, rationsl understanding by him on all subjects discussed with and by him. that leads us to conclude his case marvelous, wonderful, inexplicab'e and without a rarallel.

WAS HE n ANARCHIST? An Inquest O r a Dead Ilody Klicits a 'ge SUry. ovember 4. Yesterday l unpretentious carpenaouse at Homestead, fell the building and broke PiTTflnmio, Pa . Thomas Owens. ter at work on from the roof u his neck. Squire Jenoer was deputised to hold an inquest, and to day made a report of bis investigation. Oorene, the deceased, it appears, came to this city about one year co, some two or three days after the Hay Market riot at Chicago, ia a so me what dilapidated condition, it-presenting himself to be a carpenter out of a job. He at once secured work- at homestead with J. R. Mullet, and for the past year has been working steadily alongside of a man named Piper, or Pfeiffer, also a carpenter. When Owens begm work he said he had just come from Chicago where be had a Lrother living, and seemed nervous and (tartled at everything. One day while PfeiiTer and Owens were at W07k an officer came to Homestead in search of a man on a charge of desertion. Seeing Owens and not knowing what his man looked like, the officer asked Mr. Mullet who Owens was, and was toldr whereupon he went away. The men at work heard that tbe otlicer had asked wh Owens was and out of mischief told him that an officer had been after him. He became very much excited, and went Mr. Mnllet at once, wanting what pay was due him and expressing a desire to get away from Homestead as soon as possible, but when assured that he was cot the man the officer wan ted, he went to work again seemingly contented. This conduct interested Mr. PfeiiTer, who was roomings aa well as working in his -company, and at the first opportunity began a systematic inquiry of Owens as to bis cause of alarm. In his conversation,. Pfeiffer yesterday swore before Squire Oe finer in tha course of tbe inquest that Thomas OweDS said: "I am very sorry for those Anarchists in Chicago, who are now in jail charged' with tbrowiag booms at the Hay Market riot. There- are others outside who are more to blame than they. I was at the Hay Market riot, and am an Anarchist, and say that I threw a boom at that riot."' PfeiHer was cautioned to'keep the stats ment a secret, and for that reason he did not tell the story until after the death of Owens. The way the story nappenetij to ccme out was that all ths men employed on the building were standing ground tbe Squite'a office, having been, summoned there as witnesses in the 0ens inquest, and while there Pfeiffer and Mullet;r;egau talking of this story. "I hsard their remwks," said the Squirs this morning, "aid immediate'.y called Iftifler to the stand, swore hire, and although it had nothing to do with the causa of Owens' death, yet under oath he told the story I have just related." The singula? story of the man' wens was made the sub'ectof iayssti cation at HomeStead this afternoon, hfr. Piper, (not rfeiffer) as statsd above, who worked with Owens, says that his testimony before the coroner's "ir quest was substantially as reported. Owens, he savs, was a man about l'S years of age, and said to him that hebelorged ta the same group of Anarchists as Spies aad Parsons; tbal he was present at the Haymarket meeting, handed the bomb, and was clo.se to tbe man who threw it. Impressed by tbe statement of Piper, the t quire mada an examination of the effects of the deceased. In his trunk were found a number of letters, one ot which was from his Bister in Chicago, warning him to keep away from all ßociali.-its, as they had been the causa of all his trouble. Another letter was from his brother, cautioning him nut to write borne for fear his letters might be intercepted andhis whereabouts revealed tbat bis old home was watched and advising him to act with caution, and put as great a distance between him aud Chicago as possible. THE LOUS OF THE VERNON. The Captain Drunk Nearly all ths Tims TheNlxhtof the tVreck, Chicago, November 4. Edgar A Hall, brother of the second engineer of the Vernon, stated yesterday that the last time his brother was in Chicago he told him that Captain Thorp, master of the Vernon, had an attack of delirium tremens while on top of the pilot house. Mr. Hall was formeily ' connected with tbe Northern Michigan line and was clerk of the propellorChamp'.ain uctil a short time before she burned when be reafgned to accept a position aa bookkeeper with Hanchett Brothers, No. JO J-nsall st, Vf al?o t?id tha, it 9 to have been well ktidn to the oihe; officers of tbe l'ne that Captain Thorp waa a hard dfipsrr and tbat be had often left port while diuuk. Mr. Hall gave the name of a prominent wholesale merchant who recently made a triD on the Vernon who had told him that Captain Thorp was drunk during the entire time he remained on the boat. Thebrotherof Mrs. M. I'.. Vanamburg called at tbe Tribune oflice last night and said tbat her sister arrived in Chicago on the Vernon, September .1, accompanied by Miss Addie Mlckley, of WaUrloo, N. Y. The steamer was three days longer than utual in making the trip from Sheboygan and both ladies told him that the captain was drunk all the time.h Axel Stone, the onl survivor of the disaster, when asted if c ever saw Capt. Thorp drunk, replied : "The captain waa drunk most ol the time, and he was very dtank when we left Sheboygan last week. While we were coming through the straits, tbe srrjud mite said to him 'sober up you drunken beast and take care ot ti in boat and the people.' The e da I ii told him to pn to hell. I was in tbe cabin at thetime and heard every word that waa saiu. Friday night, which was the night that the steamer was loat, the captain was as dtuuk as I ever saw htm, and he kept taking a drink every little while from a bottle that he carried , In his. coat pockeU 1 giwi that la why

the first mate staid on deck ell of the time. He knew that the captain was bo drunk that he didn't hardly know what he was about, and was probably afraid the captaia would do something foolish. If the captain had been sober, I don't believe the veseel would have been lost, for any sober man would have turned back when he saw how badly she acted in the big sea." The ordinary second mate of a passenger steamer would hardly dare to use auch language to the master as that Stone ascribes to Capt. Higgins, bat the latter was not an ordinary second mate. Up to a short time ago he was in command of the steamer Leland. and lost his position when the steamer changed ownership. It is difiicclt to obtain a command in the middle of the season, and rather than remain idle he ascepted the first birth that was offered him. In every sen&e he wsa a careful and skilful navigator, and if he had been in command of the Vernon that fatal night she might now be aftaat. The same can be said of Capt. Sullivan, the first mate, who had for many years commanded some ot the finest sailing veessls on tbe lakes. The la.it time the Vernon was in Chicago, Capt. Sullivan, speaking of the sea-wortdi-nesa of the steamer, remarked that she was ail right li properly loaded, bat added that she was being loaded deeper than she ought to be.
