Post Dispatch : Ntircmburg , , that
quaintest of all European cities , has a
quaint old castle , and attached to the
castle Is a rude slono tower , older and
quainter than cither the city or the
castle , for It was , if we may bcliovo his
torical tradition , the veritable begin
ning of both. Many night-soon ; , tired
of sight-seeing , nro glad to leave the
old tower unvisited , yet it is well worth
a visit , if only to interview a mediaeval
lady who occupies a small room in the
upper story. She is called , among
other names , "Tho iron virgin , " and
though forever dumb , yet spualteth ,
nml loudly , too , for those who have ears
hear. "Tho iron " is
to virgin" a nui-
chlno In the shape , or rather with the
face of a woinauwhch ! opens on hinges.
On the front portion of the interior tire
four rough spikes , live or six inches in
length , the use of which is sulllclenlly
evident to the spectator. In "the good
old times , " now happily passed away ,
criminals who had mortally offended
the Dowers of church or state were
brought into this upper chamber ,
stripped naked and placed in the back
part of the infernal machine. Then
the front part , or door , was closed and
screwed tight , and as the screws tight
ened the two upper splices were driven
into the eyes of the hulplosi victim , and
the two lower into cither breast. After
a certain time the door was opened by
the executioner ami the lifeless body
dropped through a small trap-door in
the lloor to unknown depths below. In
one corner of the chamber Is an altar
properly equinpod , at , which it is sup-
poxiMl the victim received religious
consolation before being consigned to
the deadly arms of "Tho Iron Virgin. "
Altogether the place and its furniture
are not particularly agreeable to look
upon ; so the custodian , probably to
soften the horrible impression made
uppii visitors , has ornamented the walls
at the footof the stair-ca&e with a col
lection of pictures of the clidipe.st fcort ,
but having some interest for eccentric
antiquarians. Among those is a litho
graph , or engraved portrait of a young
man apparently between eighteen and
twenty-one. Mather a good face , broad
and high foreheadbrown hair and eye ,
plump cheeks , well rounded chin , and
mouth which , if weak , lias a pleasing
expression. It i.s the portrait of

\vhoee story familiar enough tifty years
ago is no .v bullicicntly forgotten to bo
worth retelling in brief fashion ; the
more , as there is nothing like it in fact
or llction.
On the L'lith of May , 182& . in the after
noon , a shoemaker living in one of the
least frequented portions of Nuremberg
&aw a lad leaning against a wall in a
peculiar attitude , as if , for some reason ,
he coul'l not properly use his logs. He
approached the stranger , who hold out
tt ) him a letter addressed to the captain
of the Fourth Squadron of Light Hus
sars , stationed at Nuremberg ; at the
same time mumbling some unintelligible
words , and moaning and weeping bit
terly. The hussar captain lived near
by , and the shoemaker conducted the
hid to the house , where he sank down
exhausted. Meat , beer and wine wore
brought to him , but ho spat them from
his mouth with great disgust , Bread
and water were swallowed eagerly.
The captain not being at home , his
servant took the boy to the stable ,
where ho dropped upon the straw and
fell into deep sleep.
T1IK LKTTI'.K
when examined , read something liice
tuis :
" ] am a poor day laborer with ton
children of my own. The mother of
this lad left him at my house on the 7th
of October , ITlli.lnil 1 have never found
out who she was. He wants to bo a sol
dier and to join the same regiment in
which liis father hcrvort. Tic has bcon
taught to read and write. If you do not ,
' j
wnnt to Keep him put him in'a lottery
or yet rid of him any way you please. ' '
In the letter ( which was dated "from
a place near the Bavarian frontier
which ahull be nameless , 1S28) ) " was in-
clo.seil a note , apparently in the sumo
hand.
hand.The

Pie was born tlio 'iOtli of April. ISl'J. I
am a poor girl and cannot support
him. "
When the captain returned lie could
furni > h no explanation of these htrango
missives , aad bo tlio poor ccoaturu was
rotihcd from the straw and talcen to the
police oDico. Hero he was questioned ,
but nobody could umicrbtami his ans
wers , Them llioy gave him pen , inlc ivnil
paper , and to the surprise ot all ho
wrote ; plainly the name "Ka par
Ilausor. They asked his place of resi
dence , but his reply was unintelligible.
So he was convoyed to the common
prison for rogues and vagrants and
locked in a cell , whom ho quickly fell
asleep , fie remained in prison seven
weeks , but was not regarded as a pris
oner , and wan treated very kindly by
thu jailer , to whom ho soon became "
strongly attached. In
I'KIIKON'AI. Al'I'KAKANCK.
Young TIauscr was , iu > may be im
agined , somewhat peculiar. His age
apparently wnsaboutsoventcon ; height ,
four feet and nine inches. In llgure ho
was stout , with broad shoulders and
delicately formed limbs ; hands and feet
small and well shaped the Boles of thu
latter being as soft as the palms of u
lady's hands , or as his own , which were
of infantile softness. Ho'had been in-
occulalcd on both arms and on one arm
was a small wound , evidently tccant.
His hair was light and curly. Ills face ,
though not bad , was absolutely devoid
of meaning or intelligence ; as dull and
stupid almost as that of a brute , though
wlion pleased it was lightened up oy a
babyish smile. The two sides of the
face wore not exactly alike ; tlie loft
being perceptiblydrawn.und frequently
distorted by convulsive spasms. The
clothes he wore when found wore of a.
curious mixture of town and country
costume ; coar o , ill-fltting and clumsily
made. In his round felt hat was u small
picture of Munichpartly scratched out.
A rod-ohcckod handkerchief around
his iiecK was marked "K. II. " in rod
thread. In his pocket was a rosary , u
key , a paper of gold-colored sand and a u
number of printed prayers and tracts
In Gorman , It ) mind and manner ho
was , to all Intents and purposes , u child
n baby , indeed. Ho noticed nothing
and nobody , but was attracted by any
shining object and cried when ho could
not get It. When he first sawa lighted
candle ho Immediately put his lingers
in the flame and cried from the effects ,
When ho first saw a mirror before him ,
ho looked at the back of it to see
the owner of the reflected face. And ,
as has been siiid , he had no language
which any ono could mitlorstnud ; only a
sort of an animal gibberish. As par
tially confirming his own story , wncn
able to communicate , it must bo stated
that his lower limbs showed plainly
that his previous life had been spent
mostly in a silting posture and with
his legs stretched out Hat at right
angles to his body , vVhen thus seated
the knee-pan lay in a hollow , instead
of projecting , and the knee joint was so
close to the lloor that a common card
could scarcely be thrust under it. Ho
walked with great dilllctilty ; his eves
could not bear the light of day without
becoming painfully inflamed. Ilo could ,
however , see in the darkness as clearly
M" other people do in daylight , and Ill's
sense of hearing was abnormally acute.
So was his sense of smell , mid the nor-
fume of ( lowers made him sick. The
touch of a magnet affected him disagree
ably , and ho could detect one meta
from another by its power of Attraction.
This strange being found a gooi
friend in Herr Hinder , the burgomtis
tor , who was deeply interested in his
case and had him frequently brought tt
his house. In thone interviews , by din
of questioning and helping him to
words , the burgomaster gradually ob
tainud the material of a statemen
which was olllclally published la July
18U8. This is the substance of
KAsl'AKV bTOln .
as confirmed by Him at a later period
when ho was able to talk plainh
enough : Ho neither know who ho was
nor where ho was born. Ho did not
know there was a world until the da.\
ho was found in the street of Nureni-
burg. Uoforo that he had always been
in a holf , or cage : always seated"on the
ground , barefooted , and having on only
shirt and troupers. Ho never hoard a
sound and never saw daylight. He slept
much , and when ho wakened tln-ro was
a loaf of bread and a pitcher of water
beside him. Sometimes the water had
a bad taste from laudanum , he after
wards thought , and then he slept
longer and more soundly than usual.
When ho wakened his nails had baen
cut , his hair trimmed and he had on a
clean shirt , hi winter the-hole was
warmed by a small stove , shaped like a
beehive , lie had wooden her os dressed
with ribbons to play with. A man came
into the hole occasionally , but gener
ally treated him kindly , except when
ho ran his hor-ses too hard. lie taught
him to write , and tried to teacli him to
wullr. Finally the man came and car
ried him on his buck out of the hole , up
and down a long hill ( or stairs ) into the
street ; led him a long distance , then
put a letter in his hand and disap
peared. How long ho lived in the hole
he did not know , nor did ho know any
thing more about himself than what
has been here stated.
At the expiration of about two months
the authorities of Nuremburg removed
Kaspar from prison and placed him in
charge of Prof. Daumor , a schoolmaster
and worthy man. who immediately
began
HIS KDt'
by teaching him to talk. Ho was as
ignorant of everything as a child of
two years ; know nothing about natural
law or objects thought nine-pin balls
felt pain when they struck against each
other ; was sin pry with a eat for not
using its paws as ho did Ms hands ; luul
no ideu of God , iuimortality , or of the
difference botwuen good and evil ac
tion. When able to talk , however , ho
silked innumerable questions , and dis
played in faomo respects a mind quite
equal to the average. Ho was very
Kind-hearted , would not hurt oven a
fly , was truthful , obedient and orderly
in his habits. It was a longtime before
he could he taught to oat meal , and
much longer before he was willing lo
give up his wooden horses .and other
childish toys. His progress in gonor.il
knowledge was reasonably rapid , and in
reading and writing he speedily became
quite proficient < that in the summer
of 18-11 he was encouraged to try and
write out the details of bib history , 'so
far as ho could remember them. This
became known to the public , and the
result proveu Hint ho was carefully
watched by the enemy , or enemies , from
whom he had already btilTorud so griev
ously. They probably feared that the
storv of the poor victim might , if fully
published , lead to their own detection
und puni.shment. So it came to pass
that at 1'2 oVloek ( the dinner hour ) , Oc
tober 17. 1820 , Kaspar was missing.
Search being made by the DiTumer
family ,
TRACKS or iti.oon
were discovered on the staircase , pas
sage , and in the lower part of the
house , all lending to a cellar , the en
trance of which was on a level witli the
ground. The door being lifted Kaspar
was soon lying at the farther onu of the
cellar hlcoding profusely , and appar
ently in a dying condition. When
brought out ho e.wlnim'-d : "Man !
man , und was then seized by
paroxysms so violent that several per
sons were required to hold him. For
the next forty-eight hours ho was de
lirious , raving about ' 'the man. " his
former keeper , and who had attacked
him. There ivas a soveiv , but not dan
gerous , wound upon the forehead , ap
parently made by a sharp instrument.
When sifter some days ho had recovered
from the nervous shock ho gave this ac
count of the occurrence : Flo had gone
into the lower part of the house for
some purpose , anil while there saw a
strange man stealing along tlio passage.
The man'H head was so black that he
thought him a chimnoy-bweop who had
frightened him once before. Suddenly
toe man attacked him , but with what
weapon ho did not know ! His nsoailunt
had si black covering over his whole
hand , but ho know ho was "the man. "
Ho ran up stairs for helpbut finding no
one there ran down again , and in his
terror hid himself in the collar. Where
"tho man1' wont ho did not know.
There was
A ( IKltAT SKN'SATION
in Nuremberg when the mysterious at
tack became known and every effort
was- made to discover the author , but in
vain , Kuspor was lomoved to the hoiibo
of ono of the magistrates , carefully
guarded there and never wont out of
doors without the escort of two police
men. Iu Juno , 1H0 ! ! , n prominent citi-
v.on , Ilorr Von Tuchor , was formally
appointed his guardian , and with him .
ha remained some mouths , peacefully
pursuing his education. It would have .
been much hotter for him had ho re
mained permanently , as ho might have
done but' for the appearance upon the
scone of an eccentric ICngUshmun , Karl
Stanhope , father of the historian. Vis
iting Nuremberg in May , 1881 , ho saw
Ilausor , and thought him by far the
greatest curiosity in the curious town ,
In u short time ho became BO much in
terested that ho proposed to adopt the
youth and take him to England , The
authorlHos xroro quite willing , und the
adoption was formally and legally con
summated. Of course the adopted
father at once proceeded to spoil tlio
adopted sou M * treating him ono day as
child und tlio next as a man , making
him fine presents , und supplying him
lioorally with money. Von Tuchor
vainly protested and finally gave up his
guardianship altogether. Thou ( December -

where he ) eft him and returned to Kng-
aucl. The simple people of Ansbauh
thought tlid ' 'boy was the destined
lioir of th < 3 rich Englishman and
treated him accordingly. They
called him "my lord" and flat
tered and fooled hini as if ho were a
.ord indeed. Poor Kaspar's head
none too strong at best was turned by
, his treatment. Ho would not study as
do had done before , and became , it _ is
said , more secretive in his disposition
mil less frank and truthful. Mean
while it was rumored thai the secret of

iting rather than improving. SUui-
ioiC as might have boon anticipated
grew weary of him , and the family in
'
which he' lived at Ansbach showed
signs of similar weariness. Release
brail concerned was close at hand , and
t came in tin shape of
A DISMAL THAOUDV.
On the Mth of December , 18SJ. ! in the
ifternoon. while Herr Meyer was sit
ing in his room , Kaspar suddenly burst
n upon him through the outer door ,
jxelaiming with wild gestures and in
jrokeii words :
"The man had a knife Umoiiu -
nont gave mo a purse and then
t.ibbld me. I ran as fast as I could ,
'urso loft lying there. "
Ho was quickly put to bed and a
lolieomnn sent to the spot mentioned ,
'hero was found a small purse of lilac-
olored silk. It contained oiil.y a scrap
> f paper on which was written in pencil
his pii//.ling message :
"To bo delivered. Ilausor will bee

vhencc I come , but in order to spare
lim the trouble , I will tell you myself.

Nothing elbe was discovered , and the
hickly falling snow had covered any
races of footsteps around the niouu-
nont. Mca.uwhilo two physicians were
n attoiidnhQO upon Ilausor , who had
ocolved * u small but deep wound upon

Da the llthjjf the month , at 7 a. in. , ho
mil mot it-ipan near the court of np-
leals who IbdUcd like a workman , This
nun saidkomjin : " "The court gardener

nit go tliMrtqy , because it was wet , but
.old a frlcnQ'ii wife about it , and she
tti-ongly tulvised him not to go at all.
3n the 1-lthUho same man appeared to
lim , at the- same time and place , and
repeated the invitation. Ho went
it the hour appointed to the gardens
ind straight to the artesian well. Find
ing nobody there he went to the U/
monument , and there , at the two stone
icals , a tall man suddenly came forward ,
TIIVQ him a put-so and stabbed him.
I'hon he ran home as quickly as he

Lo him ho had never seen before. This
ivas the substance ol the answers to for

On the ovdning of llio. 17th ho was dead.
I'ho government offered a reward of
M.OOU for the detection of the murderer
to which Karl Stanhope added $2,000 ;
juL'ln spiteof this powerful stimulus to
MTort , nothing mono was ever known
ibout the inurder ; and the life and
death of Knspar llauser have been
shrouded in a veil of impenetrable
mystery from that day to this.
Ofcour.se , during his lifetime and
after , numerous theories wore proposed
in regard to him ; but none of tliom
have been een partially confirmed by
later revelations. The visit to Hun
gary was made because on one or two
occasions he showed signs of mental ex"
citoiuent when hearing Hungarian
words. Then it was assumed , quiet
gratuitously , that ho must be the son of
some illustrious Hungarian family. Hut
when taken to that country noitlun-
the language , costume or scenery
made the slightest perceptible impress
ion upon him. Then it was thought ho
was one of the Baden princes , sons of
Stephanie , hitherto believed to have
died in infancy , and who was known to
have been born in l.SIi. The grand
duchess was much distressed at the
cruel supposition which rather
strengthened popular belief in it. but
investigation quickly demonstrated its
utter falsity. In short , wo have here a
humble copy of the historical conun
drum , "Who was the Man in the Iron
