THE CLOCKMAKERS OF THE SCHWARZWALD. 



THE Baden State Kailway, running in an unbroken 

 line from the Ehine plain at Mannheim to the 

 shores of the Boden See at Constance, forms two 

 sides of that part of the Grand Duchy of Baden 

 which in Germany is called Badischer Schwarz- 

 wald. Along this line go great numbers of Eng-

 back again to England ; but they seldom set foot 

 in any part of this district, except in the town of 

 Freiburg, a pleasant point to break a long and 

 somewhat tedious journey. The dark hills thickly 

 covered with pine-trees, which the traveller sees 

 from the windows of his carriage, generally serve 

 to remind him of the grander mountains he has 

 left, or of the peaks which he hopes to climb.

 quaint scenery, of a character at once unique and 

 distinct from that of countries more frequented by
