Rochester, N> Y„ Saturday, C^ftej**,!?; ^ St CHAPTER XXVIII. Mrs.Snow took the paper and read as follows: \Dr. Eagene Maynara, BOB of EX- Senator May burn of Philadelphia, and Miss Beatrice Snow, formerly of New York, are to be married at the Cathedral in Philadelphia on Wednes- day, June 27, at 7 A.M. Then followed an explanation as to who the contracting parties were. The young physician was described in a glowing manner which would have thrilled the heart of a far less proud woman than Mrs.8now;and the bride elect was spoken of as a beautiful and accomplished young lady of a good family. It said that she was a convert to the Catholic faith and after spending sometime in the convent where she had been baptized, she had traveled two years in Europe with the MayburnB. No reference whatever was made to the fact that she had been Mrs. Mayburn's hired oocrpan iea, for the family wished that to be a secret now, not through any false pride, but because they thought it would be pleasanter for the young people. M re. Snow had read the article first to herself then reread it aloud to Blanche, but there was no need of that for bending over her shoulder, the girl had quickly taken in every word. \I always knew, mother,\ said Blanche,' 'that Beatrice would do well wherever she went, and now that we have found her at last we must go to her at once.'' \Foolish girl,\ said the still unfor- giving woman, \do you forget that she deserted us all and is no longer one of us?'' \Please mother,can yon not let the past be forgotten and go to her before her wedding?'' \And if I did, Blanche,you do not know how she will receive her mother, especially if, as the paper states, she has been taken in by a rich and in- fluential family. M \Dear mother, I am afraid you cruelly misjudge my poor sister, for Beatrice would only be too happy to see us after our long separation.'' Perhaps she would, Blanche, per- haps her folly has caused her to sufter enough, BO that she will be glad enough to regain the friendship of her parents and sisters, I cannot say confidence,for after what she has done that is gone forever). I would like to know how she fell in with those May- bum's, whoever they may be and where she got her money to travel in Europe.\ \You can probably only learn by going to her.\ -'And that I do not propose to do.\ Tears weie Blanche's reply and she remained Bilent while Lillie put her arms around her mother's neck,saying. \Mamma you please,becauBe Blanche wants you to?\ The women's features softened but she was far from relenting. •'Please go away, Lillie, and Bay no more of this, for you do not understand what your sister has done, said Mrs. Snow. \Mother said Blanche, in a voice choked with sobs, \you have been very kind to me and denied me noth- ing that might add to my comfort, bat what I wanted most I did 1 not have, the companionship of my siBter. \Beatrice herself is to blame for that, not I.she ohose strangers and now let her remain with them.\ Even when the very lowest, Blanche had never spoken of death. She had felt from the beginning that her life would be short, but with a secret feel- that she must live to be again united to her whom separation made dearer, she had fought the ravages of the dread disease and conquered. \Mother she said, \I fear that I will not long be with yon, and death would not seem so hard if I could only have my own Beatrice with me for a little while. Only let me.know that she hae been restored to her own place in the family and I will be content to go. Please,mother, won't you let me go to her, for I parted with her in perfect peace and I know she will tome home for me.\ \Child what are you thinking of? There is no danger of your death and I do not like to her you speak of such a thing, but there might be some dan- ger if in four weakened state yon undertook to go to Philadelphia. I wish to hear no more of the subject now, but I will eonsider it and apeak to yonr father about it\ Wearied from a long day's werk aheat in his office, Mr.Snwr sat alone ip hi* smoking room that evening when, paper in hand, his wife entered. \Who is Ex-Senator M*jbnra of Philadelphia?\ were her first words, \Haven't you heard of him, wife? He is, or rather was until three years ago, one of the leading politicians of the country. He haa served two terms in the senate and is considered im- mensely rich.\ Thinking that this was only a pass- ing fancy of his wife, who was always looking up noted people und had pro- bably heard something new of the family, he returned to the paper he had dropped. \If you can give up reading a few minutes I have some important news to tell you. I am glad they are a good family.\* More to please her than through any interest in whatever the news might be, he folded his paper and threw it on the table. •There, read 6hat,\Bhe said,point- ing to the marriage announcement Twice he read the notice, then sat gazing at her in silence which to her was more bitter than angry worda could have been. \What do you think oi it?, last found voice to ask. \If you must have the truth, 1 will say that we have been a pair of heart- less unnatural parents, and others who are better tfcan ourselves have found true worth in the treasure we oast away.\ ' 'How can you speak thus when it was her choice to leave us?*' \And if ehe didehe was young and easily influenced and never woiid have acted as she did had she not firmly believed she was right. I do not put all of the blame on yon alone for I,her own father should have gone after her and brought her home.' ' 'You could not have done it, for the wily nuns had turned hen head so that she would listen to no one else.' 1 * 'I have heard enough about the nans, for I have sees too mnoh of the wosk those noble self sacrificing wo* men have done among the poor, the sick and the orphans right here ia our city, to believe any wrong of them; but what do you think of Beatrice now?\ \For her sake I am pleased that she is about to marry well, but what I wished most to tell you is thifl;Bls»nohe insists upon going at once to her and I cannot reason with her to the trary.\ \Let her with her.\ \But considering her health, she is not able to undertake the journey.\ \I do not believe it will harm her. If she wishes to go she will, as her father, I have a right to take the res- ponsibility upon myself.\ \Even if you kill your own child.\ \No danger of that, Blanche is able to stand more than you think and happiness will be a great factor in giving her strength*. As for Bea- trice, it is little less than an unpardon- able crime that we have left her thus long among strangers and we should go and ask her forgiveness even if we heard she were in California.\ \You may 90 if yon wish, bnt I prefer to remain at home.\ < 'Do as you like. Blanche and I will be company for each other on our little trip, though under the cir- cumstances it would look much better for you to accompany us.\ In the secret recesses of heart Mrs. Snow was not as cold as her words might suggest. Bigotry and narrow- mindedness toward everything that bore name of Catholic had warped her natural bright intellect until it had succeeded in stifling every vis- tage of love for her eldest child. Her pride, too, which refused to admit the wrong she had done, formed a promin- ent factor in her actions. If she had only stopped to penetrate her own heart she would have found that Beatrice still held a warm place there. The news which Lillie had hasten- ed to tell her sisters, and which had been overheard by a servant who quickly reported it in the kitchen, had thrown the household into quite a state of excitement even before Mr. Snow's return to his late rapper, which he had partaken of alone, hot his wife had been the first to tell him. That evening her girls all gathered around her, each eager Co hare some- thing to say abont their sister, and for once she was glad when their bed- time came and she could be alone, to think of the past btft aot to rest, for Beatrice haunted her all through the night and would not lei her sleep.

Do yon love the beautiful in si! its forms—music, painting and architec- ture?—then go to Munich. Are you pardon me for'asking the question.-— partial to a flagon of real, lustrous, vitalfaung,ne?er-to.he-forgotten lager beer? Go to Munich. Would you rub shoulders with long-haired artieta.ox- eyednausieian«,bounoing women.bare* brained students, dreamy philosophers, ingenious workmen,sharpnoaed critics sombre-robed clerics of all degrees of sanctity? You would? Then go to Munich. Would you, in fine, run headlong into the temptation of pre- ferring a terrestrial, no a celeBtial Para- dise? You would? Then book for Munich, one way. It ia not that the capital of Bavaria is so fortunate in what nature has done for her, but because of what man has done. Her kings, pnnoes, dukes, (whatever they like to call them)have been her best benefactors. It is they who have built all that she ii most proud of,—-her mighty triumphal arches, her gorgeous palaoes,her noble churches. They ransacked the world on her behalf, especially did they draw on the art and architecture of Greece and Borne to beautify their capital. Everything of beauty that the world had to show in every age, has been re- peated in Munioh—repeated in her public buildings, her open squares, her boulevards, parks and fountains. The worshippers in her churches kneel on exquiete mosaics; the loungers and \corner boys\ in her streets can't turn their huy eyes but they light on a frescoed wall Her libraries—and such libraries!—beautiful settings for the intellectual gems they contain— are stored with hundreds of thousands of volumes. The University library alone providing its two thousand stu- dents with 160,001 volumes for diges- tion. The Public library has nearly one million books on its shelves, and has brten constructed to accommo- date two. Ignorance In Munich, would be unpardonable. As before hinted, she is also rich in breweries—few towns richer. She has over a score of them, and if you want to drink your beer at the foun- tain head, join the heterogeneous throng whioh gathers, night by night, in one of the large halls attached to eaoh brewery. Munich's beer is thought so highly of by connoisseurs that thousands of barrels cross the Bavarian frontier every vear, bound for all quarters of the globe—Roches- ter.of course, included. The breweries turn out close on $10,000,000 worth per annum. But not only in the art of brewing beer are the inhabitants of Munich skilled. Its workmen are among the most intelligent in the world, manufacturing articles in use among artists,,naturalists, architects, mathematicians, etc. Munioh is representative of Bavaria —Catholic of the Catholic ' Her dukes and electors igurein history as ultra-devotees of everything Roman. On the churches especially have they lavished the results of their aesthetic taste. The largest and handsomest of the modern churches is that of Saint Boniface, built by King Lewis in 1835—or rather commenced. It is after the model of**8t. Paul's—without the WSJIB\ Rome. Its interior is a dream. The floor is of choice mosaics, its walls covered with frescoes and Its vaulted roof painted azure blue, is Btudded with golden stare. King Lewis and his queen are buried in this church. The «-Frauenkirche\is the Cathedral and forms one of the most conspicuous landmarks in and around the city. It is Gothic in | style, of red brick and has two dome- capped towera, 318 ft. high. It was built in the middle of the 16th cen- tury. 8t.Peter*s church is noted for its age, St. Michael's for its music. During the celebration of Easter the music at the last sained church is particularly beautiful. In fsont of the \Ruhmesftlle\ or Temple of Fame, stands a colossal branze statue of Bavaria 61 ft. high, mounted on a pedestal 28 ft. high. At Bavaria's feet is a lion couchant, in her right hand a sword and In her upraised left, the chapletof fame.' It was designed by Schwanthaler and cast in the Boyal Foundry from a Turkish cannon sunk at the battle ef Navarino. The modelling and casting absorbed ten years. The .bust; alone took 20 tons of molten »etal; a. stair- case wiods through the interior, termi- nating in Bavaria's huge chignoa,, at the back of her head.

Round two sides of it runt an arcade rich in frescoes representing historical scenes and Grecian and Itahan landscapes, accompanied and explained by verses of King Lewis' composition. Every square in Munioh is adorned with statues and fountains—not for* getting shady trees. The Royal Palace is an agglomera- tion of the ancient and modem In architecture, but a noble agglomeM- tion withal. It is divided into th« «* Aite Residens \ or old palaoe; \Konigsbau''or modern palaoe, and \Festsalbau\ or palaoe oTfestlf alt. Two treasures oontaiaed in the old g alace are the \Descent from the roas\ by Michael Angelo and the pris-dieu of Mary Queen of Scots. In the Hall of Festivals, there u a grand ball room some 123 ft. by 47 ft. ornamented with pioturea representing Greek dances. In the adjacent card rooms, better known asthe \HaUsof Beauties\ are 8tieier's portraits of three dozen women (mostly Bavarian) including the queen (the rest were actresses, sempstresses and what not) who attracted the cultivated taste of King Lewis. This monarch appears to have been nothing, if not versatile. The throne room is a very handsome apartment and even larger than the ball room. Every public building of importance in Munioh is built after some clasiio model, me University itself is an ideal Hall of Learning, its students imbibing their education within the most beautiful and restful surround* ings and to the rythm of plashing fountains, studded all oyer its yards. The famous theologian Dollingez,was at one time a professor here; so was Liebig, the world famed ohemiat, Speaking of Universities and students they are\warm\additionsto any town, especially a German town. They can drink like fish, swear like Trojans, and fight Uke the \divil\ae the Irish- man says. Without these qualifica- tions, he would be a poor specimen! of a student—a German student at any rate. They are representative of all plasses amcng the population, \Duke's son\and\cook's son^'and every ottier man's son. They are the personification of the spirit of unrest, mischief and \eussedness.\ \To say that they often \paint the town red\ is to state the case mildly.for they paint it all colors, and are at it all the time. They deafly love a song and a \shindy Genera, flons of. Manich students have left behind them in that town such un- considered flrifles as bits of their ohin, nose and ears, lopped off in the numerous encounters dignified by the name of \duels. \This applies in what- ever town German students congre- gate \Aftairsofhonour\amongtbem are as plentiful as are the proverbial leaves in Vallambrosa. Among Ger- man fathers and mothers there is a Spartan contempt for any bon return, ing from the University as wbole- skinned and \beautiful''as he entered it. Fighting is part of his educational curriculum and German parents want all they pay for. It should be said that there are two Munich*—the old and the new, in the former of which first a little of the squalid mergeson the picturesque, while the latter is in every way ele- gant arid admirable. Here and there in the interior ofthe old town crop up\ portions of the ancient rsmparts and fortifioaaons; it also abounds in tall houses, narrow streets and grim arch- ways. On many of its walls are fret* f cues now faded by the wind, inn and rain.The modern town abounds if fine buildings, broad streets and sweeping open places. The most fashionable thoroughfare is the Ludwig Strasse, whioh while it contains spacious side- walks and promenades, canaecommo. date ten vehicles abreast in its carri- age way.
