AN AMERICAN LORD.

Baron Stiegel’'s Splendid Castle at Shaefferstown, Pa. :

Going Through a Great Forturnte—Festivities That Always Marked His Arrival at . Thurm-Berg—Died an Obscure : " Schoolmaster. :

- Shaefferstown is a little village lying in the south of Lebanon County, Pa., with no ‘special ' significance attaching to it. Nature has, however, surrounded it with beauteous outlines of landscape, and it nestles among hills, ‘high and

low, as if it aspired to nothing more ¢ than the sweet amenities ;of seclusion. "~ It was originally settled by German .| Jews. In the first years of the eigh- ~ teenth century they came here and, as if by some prearranged’-understanding -of its gregt natural beauty and fitting | adi(ancagts, they built themselves \‘homes in'the valley and became a com- . { munity of most peculiar people. The accessions to this settlement became numerous, until it had gained the reputation far and wide of being the most unique and clannish colony that had " found a home in this land. The Ssynagogue that they -built, and the para- - phernalia of their imported rabbi, be- - -came a great attraction to the outside . settlers, who often: ventured into the . worship of ‘their Sabbath Day. In the year 1732 they already had constructed .. agrave-yaid, built in with a heavy and ' substantial stone wall. The remains of . it are pointed out to-day. About one- ¢ half mile south of Shaefferstown, close to the Lancaster road, it rests in a half- - preserved hut neglected state. The " most adhesive cement and most expert masonry evidently were used, for the wintry blasts of more than one hun- * dred and fifty years have not quite de"gtroved this relic. | - - “

But'sudderr and extraordinary as was the advent of this people, so was their departure. It was almost like a dream of a single night. As between -sunrise and sumnset the new town was deserted and no vestige of Israel remained save the dead | that lay on the hill. Then Germans of another faith came—Luthe‘rans and German Reformed, among whom was one Shaeffer, who, through influence and weatth, became the proprietor of the place, and also became the father of the little town. In 1745 it had no less than one hundred unassuming little houses, - several stores and taverns,’andin 1765 abell of the Protest‘ant faith rung out above a stone church whose tolling has'never ceased. But another more interesting historical fact giveis dignity to the surround“ings of this place. There is a lofty hill that frowns with its grim heights upon the little village from the south. It is styled the “Thurm-Berg,” or Tower JHill. On that lofty eminence a certain William Henry Stiegel had erected a tower, or castle, and certain phases of ‘ its ruins can be noticed thisday. There are those living \%xo have a very. correct representation of-the odd structure, given them by former generations, but in the absence of better history a very “fantastic'mass of legends concerning its ‘owner are extant. ‘This German Baron. was, howeveér, a most eccentric man. “He was altogether the most notorio\us,l figure in all that région around, and the many layish and extraordinary expendi- { tures in business enterprises and: in the public gratification of his whims advertised him in the great social and,“merm‘ ‘cantile centers of the cities. He had a most checkered ‘CATeer; He was a Baron in Europe. In America he apparently disrobed himself of the garb of a titled gentleman and launched into a a busy life, spending money like a prince. He became an iron-master, a glass manufacturer, and-even for awhile - assumed the . functions ofa preacher, . ~when later, through the changed vicissitudes of fortune, he acted. the schoolmaster. His life, in the full detail of all its successes and adversities, it prodigalities of gayety and wealth and its pinched reverses of sadness and poverty, ‘would make one of the most interesting somapdes fu print. 0 e _ Baron Btie%aal had two magnificent, ‘ ﬂm&.’.aﬁd’ perhaﬁ:o three. There is ittle more known about him in the tradfg:numd histories of Shaefferstown ‘than belongs to his: tower and to the _sudden visits to it. That tower may “have served him all_the purposes of an it WW&;LW”“”“ y of | " slace, ﬁmk fﬁ%““{gﬁi}i@m GG hers t{m' ,t 5 ‘ # uffg-mmfx@“%w%%%@: «f

their equal. . The walls of the various rooms were adorned with costly designs in the order of their importance. Some had seenery paintings heightened into most life-like perspectiveés of nature by the harmony of colors. Full-sized figures in the art of falconry were represented of the hunter on his chase and other such conceptions of baronial tastes. Tablets of china most ingenionsly painted awakened curiosity; and the jambs in the house were not the least al study. The side-place of the doors and| the side-pieces of the fire-hearths were of a most mechanical contrivance.

~ Though Baron Stiegel had this beau-, ‘tiful chateau at Manheim, he resided in| Philadelphia most of his time. 'He was; ‘a lordly gentleman, and perhaps the| very first citizen of that lcity.to have| the additional luxury of a country-seat. His family stood well in spciety, and it is altogether probable that/if his tastes) ware so extravagant among the plain country people, that they would have had a greater vanity of display in the proud city. Anyhow, he made frequent excursions into the country to visit his country seat. Often he would go to look after his iron interests, and more especially to adjust matters'in his glass manufactory at Manheim, also to examine into the progress of things on his farms and lands, but he came most fre-| quently on mere pleasure excursions. | He then was attended by a large company of his particular friends and a little band of expert servants. He traveled like a prince: Though it was altogether- an ancient outfit; yet his livery was perfect. His ponderous vehicles were drawn by heavy arch-necked steeds, and his lackeys ministered. to every ‘want of man and beast. - His coming was always looked forward to with joyful anticipations, both at Shaef#rstown and Manheim, though it sever was a certain arrangement. His ad« vent was the occasion of a holiday and of feasting, and none of the employes were slighted in the festal eelebration.

Now the use of these castles or towers come into play here. There were two of them—one erected at Shaefferstown, as already indicated, and another near Manheim. They were constructed of stone out of the mountains«and occupied the loftiest spot of the whole range. The erection of them was entirely under the supervision of the Baron himself and when they had reached their completion one could see from their lofty outlook the country arqund for miles and miles. The weird-like stony struetures upon those heights gave the quiet valleys below the apparent aspect of feudalism, ‘but ¢Thurm-Berg,"” for its liberal and eccentric founder’s sake,. ‘was the signal of hilarity and prosperity’ to the inland people. Those towers were mounted with cannon for the express purpose-of firing a salute whenever the inflated nabob would .make his appearance in the’ country. A watchman would observe his coming, and then from the mountain heights there would thunder the cannon’s roar and all the inhabitants from near and far would - startle to their feet and shout: “Baron Stiegel is coming!”” They wouid rush out to view the pageantry upon the highway, and the lordly magter would invite and welcome all to his tower. | ' At Manheim this- salute created still greater excitement, for there! was- his palace and his little army of employes.. It was’ a pleasant episode in the even rut of their lives, and the little village was as much astir upon that occasion as it would now be upon the arrival ofi the grandest menagerie. When the: festivities on “Thurm-Berg’’ were gone through with, the equipages wended, their, way seuthward for Manheim:: The furnaces wére stopped and the: glass houses were shut up for the one grand celebration of Stiegel’s arrival. The workmen washed -the soot from their faces, donned their best garments and took their musical instruments to repair to the castle and thence%o the mansion. From the kitchen came up the steaming roasts and dishes of paultry, and from the cellar the finest brands of foreign drinks, and so, like in some palace of a Scottish chief, they sat down to, the feast. As the wine poured out and the glasses clanked so incessantly, the toasts became most. flattering to Stiegel's baronial hospitality. The instruments rang out sweet music in time-]ie}l')ing to the whirling dancers, and eveyy thing passed off as the highest entertainment to the jovial lord and his guests. R But' even Stiegel’s wealth was not unlimited, nor his business foresight altogether perfect. He lived quite beyond his means and failed.” He even was imprisoned for debt. -Before the Revolution of 1776 lrad even cut off his resources in Europe, a special act of December 24, 1774, was passed for his relief. But he never recovered. His towers stood as the castles of folly and all his former laxury mocked him. He died in obscurity when he graced no higher position than thateof village schoolmaster. —Philadelphia Times.

USE OF QUOTATIONS.

The Authors to Which Mr. Lowell Alludes in His Harvard Speech.

Landor’s opinion concerning the use of quotations, that ‘*he never walks gracefnlly'who leans upon the shoulder of another, however gracefully that other may walk,”’ has not met with much ‘practical: support in the speeches of, public men. Perhaps no one has ever given better proof of not holding the contrary opinion’ than Mr. Lowell in the speech he recently delivered to the Harvard students. In the course of his very interesting remarks he introduced direct verbal quotations from the Bible, from Donne Bishop Gollios, Euripides, Joseph de ‘Maistre, Dante, Virgil, Wordsworth, George Herbert, Juvenal, Shakespeare, John Winthrop, Macchiavelli and Sir P. Sidney. In addition ‘to his citations of ipissiana verba, the lecturer made allusive references to the works of Plato, Ruskin, Milton, Kant," Robert Boyle, Agassiz, ‘Cotton, Mather, Gray, Coleridge, Montaiﬁng,; Scott, ’ﬁeigw. Matthew Arnold and Theocritus. Passing mention was also made of several other authors and scholars.

WAYS OF MARRYING.

The Inexpensive Elopement Compared With ~ the Full-Dress Church Wedding. .

There are seven separatc and distinet ways in'which the nuptial knot may be tied, the attending expense of the different modes varying from $1 to $l,OOO. The least expensive, and the one seldom adopted, except in cases of elopement, is that afforded by the justice’s office. There a couple ¢an be firmly united in the space of a minute for a small sum. It is customary for a groom to dress as he mav please when the marriage is to be performed by a justice, and a dresssuit would be sadly out of pl&ce in the musty law-office. ‘The one great advantage of the justice-shop marriage is its cheapness.: o

“As some people object to being mar, ‘ried by a justice of the peace, preferring the sanetion of the church in addition to that of the law, the young people may visit a parsonage instead ol a justice's office with the same preparaAion. The ceremony may be fully as _informal when performed at the min“ister’s Lome, the only difference being _that not less than $3, and, better still, “§sor $lO should be paid for the service, #Athough there is no fixed sum charged. The most popular ceremony among people who do . not class themselves as in “society,”’ and also among many who do, is a quiet home wedding, where the bride is attired in a'suit of plain white or a traveling dress, and the groom in a plain black or brown business suit, where only a few friends or relatives are present. The affair is informal, perhaps a modest supper or lunch being served after the ceremony is performed, and the entire expense to the groom being covered by $2O or less. This is the most popular wedding ceremony, and this is the way in which fully twentyfive per cent. of the young people ara married. ity

- Next in point of favor and inexpensiveness is the informal church wedding, being similar in all things except that the service is performed within the portals of the church. If the affair is strictly - private the bride and groom may be unsupported, or have bridesmaids and ‘groomsmen, as they please, In the latter case full-dress suits should be worn, increasing the expense, The “full-dress wedding’’® &as it may be called when the ceremony is performed at home, is next in favor. Elaborate trousseau, full-dress suits, bridesmaids and groomsmen, flowers in abundance, and a host of invited guests are the requisites, followed by a reception, feast, or lunch, as the contracting parties may desire. . e . The seventh and last, and most popular, is the full-dress affair performed in church. Among people who desive to create a stir in society: this is the favorite. It isexpensive and in many cases unsatisfactory.—Brooklyn Magazine.

HOW TO JUDGE SHEEP. Some of the I’rlncl;z:l——l-’olnts Giving Evidence of Good Qualiiies.: 5 Purity of blood is invaluable, especially in the male sheep, as he is chiefly to be relied on when crossing or improving the breed is desired. = The English downs are considered the best for producing first4cl mutton, while the merinoes are remembered for producing the finest wool. Thé principal points sought for in seeep are those that give evidence of theirg;ttening properties; a straight back, broad loins, roundness of body are valuable peints.” A good formed animal is one with plenty of flesh, evenly put on, #ad as little bone as possible. The following gives requirements for mutton sheep: Head moderately fine; nostrils wide; eyes prominent; ears broad, moderately long, thin and covered with short hair; collar full from breast and shoulders, tapering gradually all the way to where the back and head join; neck short, thick and strong and free from coarse and loose skin; shoulders broad and full, and at the same time join so gradually to the collar forward and the chine backward as not to leave the least hollow in either place; fore legs, the mutton on the arm or fore-thigh should come quite to the knee; leg with heavy bone and upright, clear from ‘superfluous skin, should stand out square and well apart; breast, broad and well forward, keeping the legs wide-apart; girth or chest, full and deep; fore flank quite full, not showing hollow behind shoulder; back and loin, broad, flat and straight, from whiéh the ribs must spring with a fine circular arch. Belly, straight on under line; quarters, long and full, with mutton quitedown to te hock; hock should stand neither in nor out, but straight; twist or junction inside the thighs, deep, wide and full, wite a broad breast, will keep the legs open. and upright; the whole body should be covered with wool, of a close texture, of good length and fine quality.—Practical Farmer. v . Cooking Food for Cattle.

Prof. Wallace has been urging the use of cooked food for cattle. He quotes the experience of a feeder in the eastern countries who adopted the system of soaking the fodder with hot water. The dry fodder, which may be wheat, barley or oat: straw, is chaffed and laid out in a heap on a good level floor, and the concentrated food mixed with it. Hot water is then thrown over the pile uutil the water begins to ooze out at thebase. The gentleman referred to who used wheat and barley straw, fed 108 fat bullocks and 86 young cattle for about fifteen weeks on an average. The labor was not much increased, and the boiling of the necessary water took only about 2} hundred weight of coal week. His report is that he never had animals do so uniformly. well.— London (Eng.)
