A noted historian and scientist, he was a lecturer at the Franklin institute, Philadelphia, and for a number years occupied the chair oj sience and physics at Dickinson. Editor's Note.) My dear John: -Your mother told me that you were making inquiries in regard to Doctor Pfeiffer and Thaddeus Stevens. The following facts may have some interest to you as I knew both of them personally and heard them express themselves, each of the other. Doctor Michael Diedrich Gutlob Pfeiffer, or M. G.

Pfeiffer, as it was generally written, was born in Osb Friesland, now a province ot Prussia. It was his boast, when he spoke of it, that the King of Prussia was in Prussia, King, but in Osb Friesland, Duke. His father was a minister, I suppose Lutheran, of the State Church, but a remarkable man, progressive and of great public spirit. When Icaner's discovery of the prophylactic effect of vaccination was new, and the great sensation of the day, it so impressed him that he himself, on his own responsibility, vaccinated his parishioners, an act that was afterward recognized by the government with the bestowal of a medal. This medal was bequeathed to the son, or oldest son, who did become a physician and thus came to Dr.

Pfeiffer at New Oxford and I think is now in possession of his son, J. Quincy Adams Pfeiffer, for many years and I think now holding -a responsible position in the treasury department at Washington. In the war of German Liberation, in 1813, though quite young, "a at the six pound cannon" he joined the Celebrated Free Corps of Lutzow with whom the poet patriot Korner was connected as Adjutant of Lutzow. The old Doctor would sometimes speak -of Lutzow's wild corps, which became a terror to the enemy. Korner (wrote or writes) his sword and song and battle songs while in the fight.

He was killed in the same battle, I think. Doctor Pfeiffer was wounded and left for dead by the enemy. The scar was a very prominent feature of his face. When an old man, after the Franco-Prussian War, he made a visit to Germany and was lionized. At one of the great public demonstrations in Leipsic, I think, he is easily recognized by any one who knew him.

in the illustration in the largest illustrated paper of Germany, standing alone on the stage. I suppose but doing more by simply exhibiting himself as one who had fought with Korner. He was present with Korner, after he was wounded, a fact that was magnified into the statement that Korner had died in his arms, which was not correct. The Emperor of the new German Empire wished to keep him in Germany but much as he enjoyed his visit and loved the Fatherland he said he had lived his life in America; had raised his family and had given two of his sons In the war against slavery and for the Union and that he had to go back, After the war he studied Theology and had his Thesis prepared for graduation at the University of Berlin. I think, but he was so advanced in his views, under the Influence of the Great German Philosophers of the day.

many of whom he knew. that his friends persuaded him not to read and defend his Thesis; this ho gave to mo as his reason for not UikiiiK his degree in thoologv. Ho then turned to medicine; took his degree of M.D. He showed mo his Thesis for this degree, which, as far wu.s bum May 2'j. Wld.
