The Ministerial journal at Vienna insists very
strongly on the stipulatons at Villafranca being
carried out at Paris Rumored Republican move

New YORK HoTELs.-Never before has there
been such an influx Of travel at New Yofl, partic-
ularly from the South. This fact is attributed to
the general prosperity of the country, says the
New York Journal of Commerce, and the good
price realized by the Agricuturasts of the South
ern Sta:es who have suffered little detriment from
the European war. The ST. Nicholas has for
three weeks past averaged something like 700
guests; the Metropolitan 500 or 600; the Lafage,
say 800; the New York Hotel 400 or 500 This
rush of patronage takes place this year almost
month earlier than usual.-I'etersJurg Erpress
