OLE BULL'S ' FOND DREAM , Downfall of His Norwegian Colony hi Pennsylvania , Villages In UuliiB IoscrlH6n ) of the Great Musician's Cnstle Disap pointed Holies The IJurlnl of n Violin , High up among the hcnilock-covcrod mountains of this most desolate portion of Pennsylvania , far from civilization , writes a correspondent of the Now York Telegram from Condcrsporf , Pa. , are the ruin * Tif three small villages. Thirty years ago these were thriving settle ments , founded and governed by the famous violinist , Ole Bull. When Ole Bull conceived the idea of starting a jS'onvegjan colony in thcso mountain fastnesses , he purchased a tract ot land fprly miles square nnd brought over live or six hundred of his countrymen to make a settlement in this wild region , which is not unlike Norway , with Its rocky sleeps , fertile valleys and ever green foliage. . The houses built by the settlers have many of them tumbled down , the farms have become overgrown with scrub oaks and hushes and tno in * habitants have sought homes i-lscwhcre , many of them returning to the father land , which they had loft only to find cruel disappointment and hlighlcd hopes in Iho new world , of which llu-y hat ) heard and read so much. The houses were built in an odd , foreign sort of style , with windows and porches of the most unaccountable shapes in the most unex pected planes. Many of them are a sort of cross between a swiss chalet and on Indian bungalow , and a visitor can easily make himself behevo ho is anywhere ex cept in America. The sleep roofs and narrow , high porches nro like Ihosb of the houses the colonists left behind in Norway and would look fctill more strange were there any dwelling of Iho American style of architecture with which to contrast them. NEW niittor.N. Leaving Condcrsport in an old-fash- ioneil buckboard wagon , New Bergen is the first settlement reached. The post- olllco , which is the principal building , is a small ono-and-nlialf story sltuctviro , which is used for , a hotel , courthouse , hospital or auction hall , as necessity do- inaiuU. The village , if village it may bo called , was originally localedin the little valley now occupied by the postoflico alone ; but it was soon moved to the hill near by , probably to escape the spring Hoods which every year pour through the little valley , mak\iig \ a clean sweep. Half a dozen or. more crazy-looking , tumble-down dwelling houses are scat tered on the sleep hillside , and , with their basement stones and high parches , they look like a group of children's block houses which a gust of wind might overthrow. TIIK A'lij.AGi : ot" OI.F.ONA. A short distance from New Bergen is Oleona , Ayhich was to have been the cap ital of the new territory that Ole Bull in tended to govern , and near which his residence , known as the Castlcwas | built. The village was placed on a small plateau. A fair-si/ed stream , fed by mountain springs , always furnished an abundance of unro water , and , although surrounded by hills , the plateau on which the village stood is largo enough for a good-sized lown. But the town was never built , nnd even the little vil lage could not hold its own after its founder and patron neglected it. Grad ually it was deserted , the tenants moving away one rafter another until now there is little left except three or four houses , the hotel and one storo. A QD'EEU 110TCL , The hotel is kept by a pleasant , intelli gent and thrifty look'mg Norwegian , who says it was built by Ole Bull , who at ono tiaio had a music hall attached to it , where ho treated the settlers to such musio as ho never gave elsewhere. The hall has been torn down for firewood , and the admirers of the great musician , whose strains of melody seem to have been wasted in a spot like this , can only see the foundations and wish it had been spared as a rolic. The hotel is a rambling , two-story frame building , with small rooms. It was cither built one room at a time or clso without any definite plan , as it is remarkable for its careless arrange ment , The windows are of all sizes , the doors of all widths and the ceilings vary in height from seven to ten feet ; but there is , after all , a touch of originality about it that commands respect. ONI : succi:3Siwr : < MAN. Not far from the hotel , between the store ami the stream , is the homo of a wealthy Norwegian , who came to this country to slay. Ho settled among the lumbermen , after the discontented grumblers had gone away , and has suc ceeded in making his fortiinoin a wilder ness whcro many men could not live six months. Ho is the owner of the village store , which is filled with an attractive stock of cheap goods , such as lumbermen and sportsmen are likely to need. His homo is pleasant and tidy , and every thing about his place tolls of thrift nnd enterprise. Ho docs not bcliovo the story that was told by certain patriotic Norse- ; non to the affect that fraud was prac ticed upon Ole Bull when he bought the lands in Potter county , whereby an im perfect title was given. This , the store keeper says , is a "cock and bull story. " The facts are that Ole Bull tendered in payment for the property certain drafts upon bankers who cither failed in busi ness or would not honor the drafts , and for this reason the owners of the land took back their property. This is not the usual version ot the story of the failure of the colony. Ono thing is. certain , as Iho records of Potter county show. The icltlers did not got good titles to their property , and this led eventually to the dUbaiidmont , but whether it was the fault of Ole Bull or of some other person re mains an unsettled question. A PiSKlTKl : ( > VILLAGE. Two miles below Oleona , after a drive up over the cool , green mountains , through wooded parks , whiTj the pheas ant drums timid tanglors of alder , cle matis and biiinae , wo reach Now Nor way , the last of the three settlements. From hero Ole Bull's castle can bo KOCH , on an eminence midway between Oleona and Now Norway. From his castle win dews the mild ruler of lids little realm could sco his men nt worl : in Iho vulloy bolow. If wo except ono small house ft is fcivfo to say that Now Norway Is en tirely gone , with nothing loft behind but hero and there the moss-grown btono foundation of un old houao long since rotted away. The village nnd the vil lagers have gone , but oven now , looking at the lovcl grass-covered plain , ono can Imagine that it was a pretty place , with green lawns and line yards , for the ground Is rich and moist , bearing luxuri ant grass , even in the drycst weather , 61.15 llt'LI..S ( UarLK. A crooked road loading lo the ruins of the oastle leaves the main highway near New Norway and runs by an easy grade lo the summit of the mountain , From horu the view is grand and it is no won der Ole Bull was fond of his retreat. The castle was u peculiarly shaped httubo , with square towers nt the corners , It was built of stone and logs and was iilii > ; 9uily fitted up. His favorite room , vhoro ho used to sit for hours , com manded n view that is unsurpassed in tins part at 1'onusyh aiiia. Fur away Iho Jiluc Uid-'u mountains fctivtch Hlco a line of tmuUe nJong the horrl/.on ; a little nearer the hcmlock-crownpd ridges of the foothills roll away In great billows ; jicttror nro the foroti of beech , chestnut tuapla : iud oabj wiiii their nvor changing , ami at Iho base ol tn strclch Iho checkered fields of 'wlvoat nnd corn , through which the mountain stream \vindVils way like a silvered llirend. To the left of the castle is another stream , running through another chasm , across which is scon another mountain , whpso top is but half visible through the s.oft. blue haze that surrounds It , while several miles to the west is still another peak , apparently thrown directly across the stream , as if to kcop it from leaving so delightful a spot , nod whoso summit seems higher than any of the olhcrs , towering up until its blue top appears gradually lo become lost in the sky it re sembles in color. A\VAKEX1XO FltOM HIS IHIHAM. It was in lids room that the great mu sician spent a whole year , and his friends say that the bitterest disappointment of liis life was the awakening from the dream of a great colony in tills favored spot. Ho had hoped to found a large. prosperous and reputable settlement , and had ucon told that the mountains about hero were filled with gold , silver and olhcr ores. The colonists believed the wonderful stories lie lold Ihqm of Ihls Kl Dorado in the new west , whore precious metals were watting to enrich those who should search for them , nndwhen months of patient toil failed to realize their hopes. and u dispute about the title of the land arose , they were all ready to loavo. nuiima A. KAVOKITU VIOLIN. When Ole Bull left his castle on the Norjenskold Mountain , ns Iho hill was called , ho again went upon the concert stage. Men who lived at NcW Norway toll strauzo stories about the great mu sician's habits. It is said that when ho was perplexed or in trouble ho would take his violin and extemporize such wild music as would sometimes make the listeners shiver. There is another story that before ho left the castle he burled in the neighborhood a favorite violin. ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS. Sonic Figures AVhlcli Tend to Show That They Must Itc Itclatetl. The number of a man's ancestors , says a writer in Popular Seicnco Monthly , doubles in every generation as liis descent is trnceil upward. In Iho first Roncrution he reckons only two anccs- lors , his father and mother. In the second generation the two are converted inlo four , since ho had two grandfathers nnd two grandmothers. But each of the e four had two parents' and thus in the third generation there arc eight an cestors that isoight groat-grandparents. In the fourth generation the number of ancestors is 10 ; in the fifth , ! i3 ; in the sixth 01 ; in the seventh , 128. In the tenth it has risen to 1,021 , ; in the twentieth it becomes 1,018,570 ; in the thirtieth no fewer than 1,073,741,831. To ascend no higher than the twenty-fourth generation we reach the sum of 10,777,210. which is a great deal more than all the in habitants of Great Britain when that generation was in existence. For if wo reckon a generation at thirty-three years twenty-four of such will cam * us back 703 years , or to A. D. 1093. when William the conqueror had been sleeping in his grave at Caen only six- years , nnd his son , William II , surmuncd Ilufus , was reign ing over the land. At that time the total number of the inhabitants of England could liavo been little more than H.OOO.- 000 , Iho amount at which it is estimated during the reign of the conqueror. It was only one-eighth of a nineteenth century man's ancestors if the normal ratio of progression , _ as just shown by simple process of arithmetic , had re ceived no check , and if it had not been bounded by the limits of the population of the country. Since the result of the law of progression , had there been room for its expansion , would have been eight times tho'nctiuU population ; by sol much the more is it certain that the lines of every Englishman's ancestry run up to every man and every woman in the reign of William I. , from the king and queen downward , who left descendants in the islanjl , and whoso progeucy has not died out there. POSTED AS A COWARD. A Wordy Comlmt Wascil Between Two Southern Keillors , The editors of the Elbcrton Gazelle and of Ihc Toccoa News in Georgia , two stanch democratic juornals , have for weeks been berating each other unmerci fully. So hot became the controversy that a challenge to mortal combat passed. Mr. S. N. Carpenter , the editor of the Ga/.etto , thus explains the present stalus of Iho situation in a card lo the public : ' 'Mr. Harris , the editor of the Toccoa News , has availed himself of the oppor tunity to publish the controversy be tween him and myself in the Elberlon Leader , and ho adds thereto such words as rolled upon mo by saying that I am a scoundrel and a coward.1 When I read his cotimmunicat.on I wrote Mr. Harris a note , staling that ho must cither retract what he had said or light , and that I would meet him at some private and convenient place and fight him without weapons of any kind. Ho declines to meet mo in a Tisticufl' , ' ns ho calls it , although ho said in the Leader Hint 'wo are willing lo give any sort of satisfac tion ho may want , and just whenever or wherever ho may say.1 I am 50 years old. Mr. Harris is , I learn , about 25 years old , stoul , and physically my equal. 1 have a wife and four little children to care for. IIo has neither wife nor chil dren , as I am informed. Ilq Ihereforo can afford to meet mo in mortal combat and light with deadly weapons , had he the cc-urago to do so. In duty bound to my wife and children , I cannot all'ord to meet him in such a conflict , but I pro posed to give him satisfaction in the old way , which , although not according to the code , yet is a way that would have been equally fair to him and my.tclf. Now , the gentleman declined , and under all the circumstances 1 leave for thu hon est , bravo and fair-minded public to say who the 'scoundrel and the coward1 is. I dismiss him with contempt from further notice. " To Stimulate Mexican Commerce ) . The Mexican government intends to o.slabish in the capital of Mexico a'pormu- nont commercial imu-eum for the exhibi tion of agricultural products and articles of maniifaoluro from all countries of the world , Sonor. Manuel M. do Icaza , a mining engineer , has been commissioned by Iho government to make all necessary arrangements , and has e.itabliahod an ollleo m the Kcmblo building , No , 15 Whitehall street. Ho will visit the vari ous cities of the United States , and will afterward go lo Kuronp on the same er rand. The largo exhibit which thu Mex ican government sent to the Now Orleans exhibition is ntill intact and will form the nucleus of the museum. The government will provide suitable oxhihition I itildings in the city of Muxieo , and will pay all ov- peuses incident lo the establishment of the museum. The schmno includes a de partment lor Mexican products , consisting of textiles , medii'inos , dyes , cereals , and fruit , samples of the raw and manufuo > lured products of foreign countries , the establishment of n library of technical books , a bureau of information as to the transportation charges and tarills of other countries , and a department of nivhlvfs. Senor do lea/a states that the Mexican people have always been at a dUad\nntago in regard to the export of their prodiiotH bcoaiuo of their ignorance of thu best methods of packing and pro- pariu' * goods for foreign markets : To remedy this systems of packing and preparing - paring goods will bo taught in the mtt- &euw. Bcnor Carlos Paoheco , minister of the interior , is the originator of the plan , mid ij execution will bom charge of the Me\ii-ui : ministry of public works. Admission to tlio imismnn will be gratui tous , the objt'cl oflio \ government being to make Iho Mexivan people aware of the commercial ivsovmics ot foieign colm- lrics acd to stimulate Mexican commerce. A SILENT WONG OF TOUGHS , ' The.

AKAMOSA , la. , Jan. 2,1. [ Correspon dence of the Hun , ] When n person opens on .1 subject stick as the Town stnto penitentiary , he has one of great magni tude and ono which contains a great deal of thought and careful study to the visitor as ho is ushered under thc'hupo wall and emerges into the presence of nutuorous human beings , all wearing the familiar suit of many stripes , except now nnd then a guard carrying ono of IhoSo noted Winchester rlllcs , warranted to kill its aim at half n mile distance. Here ho is mot by the poor In Hush , the fat and hearty * and' those in the last stages of consumption , who are shortly to pass to the world beyond from behind a con vict's grate. JIorcif In any spot on God's uruon earth , the soft spot in n mini's heart , no matter how hard it be , is touched , and ho feels that of all creatures these convicts are the most miserable. Utit such is not always the case , as will bo shown further on. In my nnnblo through this mammoth and well disci plined institution the Ilrst place I stopped at was TIII : riiisox uniiAitr HOOM , which is in connection with the chapel. Hero one of the prisoners is always to bo found on duty , attending to the librar.V. which contains 2CCG , Volumes of chVicc litcrnjhivo. cCinprlslnsr hlstory.blography , travels , adventures , scientific nnd religi ous works , magazines and many other works of great value to thcso men in their lonclv coll-honso. Mrs. A. C. Mer rill Is the chaplain. TUP. CIlAl'ET. in which is the library , is a room 45x15 in the southeast corner , second story of the penitentiary proper. This room lias a seating capacity of 800. On the walls are many appropriate mottoes , among which are the following samples : "Pence on earth , good will to men , " and "lie that eometh to mo I will in nowise cast out. " In tliis room preaching services arc hold every Sunday , as is Sabbath school. The teachers are mostly Animosa citizens , Adjoining the room is Tin : HOSPITAL , a very nicely furnished room containing two wards , which is kept exceedingly neat and clean , air is constantly in circu lation through 'this room and a good phy sician , Dr. Lj.iFK Adair , with kind-hearlod nurses are 'alVAiys in readiness to win back to Bomd of the pale and wasting brows thoi spark of waning life , and makq , their last moments as free from mortal pain and agony as possbile , for well they remem ber that although clothed in striucs and perhaps wearing the toll-talc shackle they arc feojnemother's boy , somebody's darling , andalpovo , all the work of God. Leaving this department I went down stairs and entered THK' DINING norm , 07x40 and ( containing seating room for 370 prisoner ? . , ill is seated in four tiers of benches eight /cot long with a sort of desk in fronL.jtlifit takes the place of tables. Tl'er , ) ! , dishes are the saiiie as these commoDJfy'uscd by private families , except the salt-cellars , which arc made fof , wood are not re moved from | , iho tables as are the other dishes. In this room the prisoners take their breakfast and dinner , their supper being at the cell-houso door. A long bench is set by the door on which are waMitubs full of inige slices of bread and throe convicts with lingo coffee pots pour out the milkcncd lluidjn pint clips. Iho prisoners as they pass into their cells go along side this bench and each man takes such nn allowance as he thinks his in ward cravings warrant , and passes into his cell , and after the "count" is made settles down and cats his supper in peace and whal little comfort the solitude af fords. Vor breakfast and dinner in week days they have potatoes ( of which ono and one-naif bushels are cooked for a meal ) and gravy , rice , hominy , meat pies , bean soup and sauerkraut. On Sundays they liavo ft general meal of pork and beans , white broad , potatoes , picivles , etc. No butter , as a general thing , un less the prisoners' friends see lit to fur nish it. The room has two waiters who are kept busy attending to the wants of its inmates. The walls and ceilings are beautifully decorated. In the cast end of the dining-room is a largo fountain con taining various kinds of lisli and a small alligator. This room is kept in exact or der. with as clean a floor as can bo found in the country. The woll-lilled cellar , which was at ono time the cell-house , is under the dining-room and kept clean by a stream of running water. THE KITCHHN is thirty feet long by sixteen feet wide. Hero two cooks are kept constantly busy. Their baking of white bread consists of 300 loaves , which are baked in an oven holding 300 pans two feet long and eighteen inches wide , of thn ordinary depth.Tlireo hundred pounds of fresh meat are consumed each day. It has been said by borne that those prisoners do not got good substantial food , but ono has only to go through and see the cooks at work to know that this isnottruo. Half nt the families in Anamosa do not have , as a general thing , as good food as is set before tlicao prisoners. I next vis ited TIIK TA1LOII SHOP. a neat room JKKIO , in the northeast corner corner of the building , adjoining Iho boot and shoo shop. The tailor shop has two tailors employed cutting and making the wearing apparel for the convicts each having a h'ugo sowing machine. These two men tijnf $ > ut on an average t < m pairs of nfs'pc'r day in which two kinds of btripcs uru used , called summer and wiiiUu'f > trh > M'uiia , ' of cotton and the other of wool. Hero also is ono sock knitter and 'mondoV , ' 'Xrlio , when your correspondent pendent wai there , hail a washtubtull of these lleecy.enca einontH read } ' for mend ing. They also have two shoemakers who turn out two pairs of shoes per duy besitlo the necessary amount of mending occasioned \wkfro there are b < > many men , It may 'bo added here , in connec tion with tho'ljqpt and shoo shop , that it is expected sisioon 113 the work of finish ing in eompletCM-that inoro men will bo taught and compelled to learn the shoo- makers' trailu-uiiil then they v/Hl turn out contract work in that line , the prisoners , to receive 7S cords a day for their labpr ; GO cents to go to the state for keeping and clothing and the remaining 2,1 cents to go to their families or placed to their credit , so that when a prisoner comes out , should htfbo in for a few yours , ho would not bo compelled . to start out in the world empty-handed. Going down a infill of btaii > the visitor enters THE ENGINE IIOOU , CZ1 containing four sixty-llve-horso-power engines , besides a forty-eight-horso-power engine that runs two dynamos. The four engines furiiiah all the steam for warm ing the entire prison , as well as the war- don's residence , and motive power that turns oyory wheel iusido of the walls. The boilers consume about two car-loads of coal per week , and necessitate , the bervicos of two iircmon and an engineer daj * and night Huro also is situated the largo fm ; that furnishes ventilation for the buildings , \vmoli Is forced from underground timiu'U. tjinmgh pipes into the dilKTcnt ap'U'tmunia ' of l.\w \ peniten tiary. To run tha i-lwlrlo light a forty- virgiue is ijsi'ij to j'uu two dynamos of 5,500 candle joworcaeh , or 5.000 cnndlo howcr oOmbJned The onginn makes about 800 revolutions per minute , and Is situated on a conorelo base , twelve feet docp , with largo bolts running through the center. Both iho engines and tlio dynamo were kept so clean that it fairly dazzled L'ho ' eye to look nt the burnished brass and spark ling steel ns they glistened in the setting sun. In Tlin CAtirCXTKB SHOP six men are kept busy building wagonr nnd repairing others , mondiug tools nnd doing general carpenter work. In this shop is employed a man by the name of Marian , sent ifrom Cedar ItapIiU , to im- itrlsonniont for life , for killing his wife. This man is getting quite old and feeble , not being able to work steady , but is com pelled to sit down occasionally and rest. Ho was ono of the first men in the peni tentiary , having coino when Martin lleisoy , the llrsl warden , Ilrst wont Into olllco. My escort said the old man had 1ml a short time to servo before diinth \\ouldsot him free , to answer for his crimes to his Maker , IN Till : MACHINE SH01' is a twclve-horse-poworengino , the steam that operates it coming from the main boiler in the cngiiiQ room some distance away , This room contains all the tools for accomplishing the dld'erent work in stool , and a great deal of work is done hero for neoplo.from adjoining towns. II. B. Gleason. ono of the boil mnchlncsts in the State , has charge of this department , together with six convicts that do the work. A STOXK SIIEP. This shop Is 200 foot long and 87 feel wide , with an aisle down the conlor. On cither side of thoentiro lenglh arc some eighty men , all engaged In cutting and shaping the beautiful architectural work which makes the penitentiary noted the stale over. As you walk down ths fchi , . nothing is hoard but the pliolr. cli-j o ( tiipirlmmm.nrs.siiu ? .2yOu look on oillior 5iuu noi a convict looks from his work or pays any attention to you , and should a visitor speak an occasional word to ono of them , ho is surprised to vcceivo no an swer , not oven a look , but they all boar a resemblance to the stone they are cutting . o far as talking is concerned. Besides thcso stone cutters there is a yard gang employed in operating the husrc derricks , lifting and convoying the immense slabs of Mono on minute railway cars which arc landed in a stone shed where they are dressed , returned to the ears and sent to their respective places in the lingo wall or building , which when complete will render all chances of escape impossible. TIII ; CELL nousi : is 200 fool long by 40 feet wide , contain- jng 320 cells four tiers high , eighty cells in a tier. The cells arc eight feet long and four feet wide , containing a cot , chair , stand and a bucket. Some of the cells are most elegantly fixed up by the friends of the prisoners. Some of them have lace curtains , hang ing in front of Iho iron grate , with the walls all hung with pictures and other ornaments. One case for example that of Jerome West , a man sent up from Jones county for killing a man by the name of Yule , in Anamosa , for eighteen years at hard labor. His cell is finely lurni.shed , having lace curtains , the floor carpeted , artificial llowers in receivers on the neatly covered stand and oil paint ings on the walls. Ono of tbn women's cells in the upper tier has a clock and is neatly furnished. In fact all the women's cells are very neat anil the milk-white sheets on the beds tell the stranger every room that belongs to one of the fairer sox , Every prisoner's name and number is over his cell door making it easy for those in search of any particular ono to readily find it. After the prisoners are in their cells forty cells are locked at a time by menus of a lever at ono end that fits m an arm for the purpose , then a man goes along and locks each cell door with a key. After this is done another man goes along and tries each cell door. This being com pleted the prisoners are obliged to stand up behind their doors and bo counted to sec that all are in. If the count is correct they then eat their supper. At 8 o'clock the cell doors are again tried to sec that none of them liavo been filed olj'or other wise tampered with. The cell house Is lighted by means of a 2,530 cnndlo Edison incandescent olcctrio light , giving ono light to each cell , while formerly ono light was given for two cells , but as it now is each cell has n four candle light. Another cell house will bo built north of the present one to bo larger nnd to contain 400 cells , also to bo lighted by the electric light. In the south end of the cell room is a show case containing articles made by the prisoners for sale. Among the most noticeable ones is an open fan cut from ono piece of wood with a jack-knife , which claims the attention of every visit or , These are sold by a man not able to do manual labor , ns relics , and range in price from ton cents to $1.50. In the north end of the cell house is the TON.3OUIAI , W.PAHTMKNT. The tonsorial artist begins his labors Thursday noon nnd is kept busy shaving the prisoners until Saturday noon , i have boon many expert barbers , but have yet to see the man who could fehavo ono as quickly and thoroughly aa this convict barber. mr WALL encloses twelve acres of ns good and level ground as ever lay out doors. Its height is twenty-seven feet above the grade , and averages eight feet below the grade , eight foot thick at the base , and four feet thick at the summit , with a guard house on every corner. The wall is now all complete and the strip from the southeast corner to the main building contains twenty-three huge rib * or piers , calculated to bear the test of many j'ears , as well as cannon , if they bo brought upon it. This mammoth wall , liku the wall of China , has taken Iho hard labor of many yours and of many men , and a prisoner might as well think of crossing the Atlantic ocean on foot ns to think ot scaling this wall. TI1U STATi : QUAHIIV is situated one and ono-half mihgs from the prison and is under charge of Fore man Poll and O'Hoiirko. The average at work in the ciuarry the wci-k through is about fifty. In good weather they send in from ton to fifteen I'ar.s of rough stone a day.and of cour o in bad weather not .so many.
