WASHINGTON, June 6.-The Presi-
dent spoke tonight at the opening
of the fair for the benefit of the wild
ows and orphans of sailors and sol
diers. He said he spoke not to the
fancy, but the heart. None more
than himself could feel for the Or
phan, and his cause should ever en-
list his moral and pecuniary aid, it
mattered not whether they were the
Children of Northern or Southern sol
dierS.
They were equally entitled to SYM
pathy; their fathers were foes on the
battle-f field, but now rest quietly side
by side. 1t was our duty to forget
the past, which led to these troubles,
and ihculcate better and more
patriotic spirit in future. The re-
marks of the President were most
conservative in character, and de-
livered with great feeling. He was
highly applauded.
Senators Wilson and Lane, Gen.
Banks and others spoke.

A foreign correspondent writes Al
though Vienna is already vast city of
nearly thirteen miles circumference, yet
the amount of Improvement and building
that is going forward is very great. The
old city of Stadt is about three miles in
circumference, and was built chiefly in the
middle ages, and was consequently densely
packed together within a wall that was
erected for defense. It is curious old
honeycomb, that old city. The streets run
crowded about; they are generally only
from twelve to twenty feet wide, often not
more than eight; the houses tower many
stories high, and away down between them
the sun is scarcely ever seen.
Hundreds of houses are built entirely
over the streets, so that carriages drive d.
rectly through the house, as it were, under
arched ways, long and narrow and dark.
Gas burns here day and night. 1t is sur
prising what limited extent of the room
poor family will occupy, the tradesman
working III the same room occupied by his
family. Here you are shaved for two and
quarter cents, your boots are mended for
five cents, you make,a substantial dinner of
soup, beef, potatoes and pudding for four
teen cents, and so forth. The same pave
ment OF solid, square stones extends all the
way across the streets, and you walk in the
middle or on the side, as you can find room
among the rattling carriages. You seldom
enter hotel or store or large private
dwelling from the front, but 20 in the
coach way, which leads to the inner court,
and turn to the right or left.

The gallant Stuart has not been forgot
ten abroad. The military correspondent of
the London Times thus writes from Pow.
lowitz:
Were there such a cavalry General ON
Austrian side at present as the Confederate
General Stuart in the American civil war.
he would have granted chance to-day to
win glorious stake by raid upon Brunn.
The King of Prussia is in that town at the
present moment, and only two battalions
of infantry and one squadron of cavalr V
have been left as his escort. With him
are Count Bismark, General Won Room,
and large staff of officers If these could
be captured, or even one alone, on what
different terms could Austria sue for peace?
But it would need man of Stuart's in
trepidity to attempt to seize the prize, and
the prize, and the capture would not be
effected without severe costs but to secure
the King would compensate for any sacri-
fee"

n curious case of love and persecution
has come to light in New York. A man
named Romero fell in love with his son S
intended wife, and in order to marry her,
sent Romero, Jr., to Cuba. The latter
was soon after reported to be dead and the
wedding took place. subsequently the
young man returned home, when his faith.
er caused him to be arrested and put in
the lunatic asylum. The wife has discoy-
cred the facts in the case, and secrrcdythe
release of her first, and perhaps only love
and an interesting and spicy lawsuit is now
said to be probable, growing out of this ex
cecdingly romantic affair.
