 Captain Ryan, arrested at Memphis on suspicion of being Surratt, was in the Criminal Court yesterday to ascer- tain for himself if he resembled the ac- cused.
 WASHINGTON, June 10.
 The trial of Surratt commenced to- day. The criminal court room was crowded. Judge Fisher took his seat at 9 80, but the court was not formally opened until ten, when the jury was called. All but four answered to their names. The prisoner was brought in at 10 30 and the handcuffs taken of, and he was assigned a scat beside his counsel. Surratt's face is very pale, and wears care worn and troubled look, but faintly smiled occasionally as he received the nod of an acquaintance. A engaged in a lively conversation with his counsel, Mr. Merrick, and was evil dentlv much amused, as he laughed heartily After all the prcliminaries, Judge Fisher asked if the counsel was ready to proceed. Mr. Bradley re- piled that the prisoner was ready, and had been so for weeks. The district attorney said the prosecution was also ready to proceed, but before proceeding to enlpannel the jury, however, the prosecution desired to submit a motion to quash the whole, as the jurymen were not drawn according to law, and the names from which said jury was drawn were not legally selected. The court granted the application for re- cess until tomorrow, to allow time to examine the law, and the prisoner was remandcd to jail.

IESTH, June S.
 The emperor and empress of Austria were to-day crowned king and queen of Hungary. with medieval pomp and splendor. The city was crowded with visitors from all parts of the world. and splendidly decorated. The ambassa- dors of all nations having diplomatic relations with Austria, except the Uni ted States, were present. The corona ton took place at Afer, across the river Danube, and the concluding rites in this city. Eight thousand Hungarian and Austrian nobles, and sixty peers and one hundred diplomatists, and one thousand strangers witnessed the coro- nation scene, which was magnificent. The bishops of the Catholic and Greek churches assisted in the ceremony. The Emperor was annointed in the an- cient robes crown, mantle and shoes of St. stephen, first Christian king ofliun- gary. The emperor was annointed un- der the right armpit, and special an them sung by the national choir under Histz.
 After tho coronation, the king, his daughter and several IIungarians then rode in person to Pesth, where he took the oath, in which he promised to re- conquer the ancient limits of Hungary. Nothing like this has been witnessed for centuries, and in all probability will never be repeated. The coronation cer- emonies closed by the king riding upon mound ofearth formed of soil brought from different parts of Hungary, and waving his sword at the four points of the compass and at the same time swearing he would defend the kingdom against the world. There was immense cheering during the rites and illumina- tions and banquets bright. At the ban quet the peers acted as servants. The Hungarian diet voted Sl00000 ducats to the king and queen, as a present. l The greatest enthusiasm was displayed. Ten aichdukes were present. A gen cral amnesty for political offenses was ' proclaimed.
 i Bay It is related of the President | that he said the other day, at Richmond, 1 that he would infinitely prefer son of his to settle in the country, and take 1 his chances of success as farmer, mcr- chant, or, in fact, iu any profession for i which he had capacity, than for him to have any office at Washington.

 STARVATION IN MIssIsslPPr---Thc \ last number of thr Kosciusko Chroni- cle announces the actual starvation of two persons in Leake county. It seems that family of ten persons had been | living for several days upon sassafras blossoms, roots and barks, in the ab- sence of proper food, and disease and death ensued. As soon as the eondi. ton of the family was known, the neighbors came forward and by con tributions saved the remaining portion of the family from a similar fate.

Why Folks READ LOCALS An old "local, -
who ought to know all about things pertaining
to this department, says the people read items
oflocal interest for reasons as opposite as man
and wife. A. reads about flight because he
was there, and saw it B. because he wasn't
there and didn't; c, because he had heard
about it; d, because he hadn't, while those
who had hand in it, want to know how
much Of truth concerning them the editor has
deemed compatible in its utterance with a
continuation of his own earthly career. The
consciousness, too, that hundreds Of others are
simultaneously perusing the same article, and
that II is therefore subject Of common thought
and conversation, doubtless adds to the zest
with which ordinary readers eagerly devour
articles that otherwise would have but dull
perusal or no peiusal at al.
