The Ancient City of Salzburg 
of the immortal Mozart. About 
the Lutheran schism, as he calls 
it, the modern Salzburger has 
very little thought. It he were 
forced to give an opinion he would 
probably say that the Lutherans 
got no more than they deserved 
—the torture of the rack in the 
Reckthurm of the fortress, the 
emigration, the confiscation of 
property, all included; tor be it 
remembered, Salzburg is now a 
strictly Roman Catholic city, just 
as the house ot John Calvin in 
Geneva is now a Roman Catholic 
chapel. Without going so tar as 
to say that in the matter ot beauty 
of situation Salzburg is compar¬ 
able with either Venice or Con¬ 
stantinople, there can be no doubt 
that it is very fine. The horizon is bounded 
at every point by hills or mountains, all more 
or less picturesque in aspect. They crush 
in upon the city, and in consequence some 
of their slopes are built upon. At night, 
therefore, when the lamps are lighted the 
scene is one of extreme loveliness, and not 
unworthy of the enthusiasm and rapture with 
which it is regarded and described. \ he

Monchsberg is within the city boundary. It 
consists of a series of points, on the chief of 
which appears the fortress ot the archbishops. 
The Austrian Government has put some 
soldiers into the fortress, so that the military 
aspect of the place is maintained in a sense, 
but it is mainly used as a lookout for visitors 
and for the Salzburgers themselves,who never 
tire of going up the hill and surveying thence
