Random Notes ON Vienna, by Mrs. j. q. b.
PARIS,
MY DEAR MADAM -
Hyou ever come to Europe, would advise you
by no means to forget TO visit Vienna it is one
of the most emf ,yabe cities on the Continent
perhaps even in much higher degree than
Paris. The Germans are delightful people
wherever you meet them. At home or abroad,
they are honest, sociable, amiable, and with
simplicity of character that presents delightful
contrast to the exaggeration of the French, or TIA
lians, or the GOODNESS Of the English.
We arrived in Vienna at night, by railroad from
Cilly, and across the S'ynen Mountains. On
reaching the city gate, was very much amused
with a scene between two officers of the police,
who quarrelled whether we should be considered
contraband or not. They took down Mr.. B's
trunk and openedi; they found a letter addressed
10 Count Ncsselrode the Minister of Foreign At
fairs for the Empire of Russia another picked
cut one addressed TO M Guizot and hmm ediately
cried 'bravor' and let us pass without further
trouble Of searching All the hotels were crowd
ed, within the city walls but we found very
splendid apartments outside the walls, at the hotel
of the Gulden Lamb, ope of the best in Vienna,
or, indeed, may say in Europe, and should adj
wise all who visit Vienna to stop there. The son
the gentleman who keeps the house is quite an
accomplished, handsome, young man, talks Eng
lish huently, and is very attentive to all who
visit the house. He gave me very handsom
piano in my room, and also supplied me
with music while there. Indeed, the kind
ness of the Viennoise l shall long remember.
Mr. Stiles, the American Minister, called
on us as soon as he ascertaned we were there,
and showed us a good deal Of attention. He is
most gentlemanly and amiabls man, and very
much liked Mr.. and Mrs. Schwartz also called on
us. They are Germans, but he is American Con-
sui. i took drive round the Prater, in the beau
tfu coach and four of an American gentleman,
who not only prides himself on his beautiful
horses, and his handsome Hungarian coachman,
but on his mechanical inventions, one of which
lie received patent for. He is known there by
the name of the handsome American mechanic.
In the educated society in Vienna, French,
English, and Italian are spoken as much as Ger
man, in fact more so. l went one evening to a
musical soir<e, and ON entering the room the lady
of the house came up and ad iressed me in
English, (and not broken Engish,) but as perfect
as if she had spoken it all her life. / paid visit
one morning to the mother Of the celebrated
pianist, Leopold de Meyer. l found her very
amiabe and splendid looking old lady. She was
exceedingly delighted to see any one from the
United States, and who had heard her son play ;
for it seems that he is his mothers favorite.
When described his triumphs in America, the
applause he received wherever he went, and the
Sclat he created all over the country, her eyes
filed with tears Of joy, and she embraced me.
She was attended by her grand daughter, a very
pretty young girl of fourteen fifteen years of age
who is in Vienna for her education, having been
sent there from Turkey, where her father is physi-
clan, believe, to the Sultan. spent some time
there that morning, and then took my leave of the
amiable and courteous old lady though, indeed,
cannot call her old, for she is as fresh
and rosy, and healthy looking woman Of
thirty-fve. A few days after, she called on me at
the Gulden Lamb, accompanied by Mrs. Krauf
ner, her daughter, quite accomplished person
and wife of one of the Councillors of State to thu
Emperor. We had long interview, and hat
10 repeat over again an account of the triumphan
career of De Meyer in the United States Tht
principal enquiry was, if he was careful of hi
money, and a very natural one too, for it seem
that he had spent several fortunes in Europe be
fore he went to America; and one of which wa
avery large one, in Russia for, he, like a
beings of great genius, is infected with extrem
lavishness and generosity.
Speaking of artists, tho people here are YER
much astonished to hear so much said about Her
in the United States. He never enjoyed yer
high reputation here as player He is entirel
OF the old school.
But must return to Vienna, for | cannot leav
it so easily. We visited the curiosities, from tn
Emperor down to the cabinet Of minerals. an,
