ASolingen. The hilt is either gold or richly plated with that metal,and the whole carries with it the form of a horsemanssword or long sabre. The matter, as far as it appears atpresent, is a perfect enigma. How it should have comeinto this country without a letter, or an accompanying mes-sage, how afterward it should have got into such loosehands, and whither the person having it in possession wassteering his course, remain as yet to be explained. Someof these points can only be explained by the maker, andthe maker is no otherwise to be discovered than by theinscription and name, A. Solingen, who, from the im-pression which dwells on my mind, is of Amsterdam.

Frederick the Great and the United States. (By Frederick Kapp, Leipzic, 1871.)
