How an Emperor Lives.

y The activity OF no sovereign in Eu
rope can be compared to that of the
Emperor of Austria, as he imposes up.
on himself about the hardest life. 6he
can imagine. In winter as in SUMMER
he rises at Ave in, the morning, walks
until seven, almost always alone, then
takes his coffee and transacts business
for two hours with the Councillor of
State. Braun, and the other secretaries
of his private chancery. He then gets
into his carriage and drives from Schon.
5runn OIL Laxenburg to Vienna, to &C.
cord audience to the Ministers or depu.
tations which have given the proper. no.
tice of their wish to obtain an Interview.
Afterward he goes otit to pay visits in
the city. At II lie takes a very frugal
breakfast, and between four and five
His Majesty eats little and drinks still
less. He prefers the natiohN dishes to
all others, and his dinner rarely lasts
more than half an hour. Id the even.
ing, after having been to the theater or
to soirss, he works for some time with
his Minister'S, never going out later
than ten. II FIRE breaks out he Is al
ways first 6n the spot. During the
sporting season he taRes the train at
nine at night for Reiehenau or MhrzE
schlag, dressed id the costume OF q
mountsineer, and passes the night on
the highest rocks to hunt the channels,
or in the thick woods to shoot black.
cock. In spite OF those incessant Ia
tigues of mind and body his health is
perfect. He is at the same time, like
his ancestors, man Of the cabinet and
fond Of strong exercise In the open air.

Old Days at WIZARDS.

The story of inns in Washington is
the story of social and political intrigue
here. A very small proportion of Con
gressnenP attempt to keep house, -
either renting or buying. About one
third Of the Senators do become house
keepers in an irregular way. A Cabinet
Minister generally tries to hare either a
dwelling, or a series of apartments COM
prehensive, of homestead. But the
inn is the real life of Washington, and
whoever, could have kept dairy OF
Willards since it opehed, peeping in as
if the hotel were unroofed, would have
possessed the materials for history OF
human motives and weaknesses during
more than twenty eventful years.
The room No. Is, which stands al
the corner OF his house over the side
portal, was the place of meeting of the
Rebel Commissioners, in 1861, who
came with inpudent proposition to treat
with the United States. To that room
Mr. Lincoln was taken by Washburne
when he arrived unaniounced in the
Capital; and thence Buchanan, lincoln,
James Alfred Pesrce Of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, and Senator Baker,
departed together Tor the inauguration.
In the dining room Of this hotel Phile-
mon I. Herbert shot an Irish waiter,
Keating, dead, in the spring Of 1866
From the bar room, Lieutenants Bell
and Williams departed, after . quarrel
to fight duel al BIadensburg. Here
the Prince of Wales disported, and the

No. 4, the greatest poker games of the
war were played between Quarteriias-
ters, Generals, and all manner of cool
and flush proAigates.
The exact site OF Wizards was first
occupied by Edwards q Henry, in the
fall OF ls47. They called the house the
City Hoteh and the front part, which
they set up, still remains In 1853 the
Willard brothers bought the property,
gave their family name to the hotel, and
kept it until 1861. Every leading Cen
eral Of the war stopped here. Here
Mrs. Anderson tainted when she Heard
that her husband, in the besieged Sum-
ter, had surrendered. Here General
Sumner brought Mr. Lincoln, in place
of taking him TO private house ON
Capital Hill. and Lincoln said to Joseph
Willard: Il am glad to get nnder your
roof. ! assure you; sir!' Here Major
Anderson and the prisoner Generals of
Bull Run were received, The word

night during the war from the front of
the hotel, Stray bullets, once Or twice,

THE REsoLUTIoNs.-The resolutions a.
ton at Bellows Falls, last week, are as fol-
lows:
ReSoiUcd, LIST, That we cordially approve
and endorse the present National Admin
istration and commend il as among the
best of our history for ability, integrity,
economy and fidelity to principle.
I'd, That the first preference of the State
Is for the denomination of Grant and Col
fax, and we wish our delegates to regard
that preference so far as upon consultation
with the delegates from other States, they
shall find that preference consistent with
the harmony of the Republican organiza-
lion, the welfare of the common cause and
the successful and permanent establish
ment of Republican principles. To these
considerations all other things should yield.
Sd, That we deeply regret the detection
of Republicans from the regular organiZa-
ton. We believe that the objects OF
reform professed to be sought by the liber-
al Republican movement are mainly such
as can be secured only in the Republican
party, while the only practical result of the
movement will be to strengthen the De-
mocracy.
4th, That we deprecate the restora ion Of
the Democratic party to power a. endan-
gering the equal laws which against the OPP
position of that party have recently been
engrafted upon our system; as preventing
any further progress In the same direction,
and as likely to lead to the prelerment and
and allowance of unjust and excessive
Southern war claims against the Govern
ment which would heavily increase taxa
ton and seriously impair the national cred
1t.
9th, That We pledge ourselves anew, in
this our first State Convention for two
years, to the great leading aims of the Re
publican party, namely: the most conf
plete liberty and the most exact equality of
rights under the law for all men through
out the Republic; the promotion of the ed
ucation, intelligence and thrift Of every
class, and especially of the laboring class
of our population; the most strict observ-
