 Abroad ?o
 WOOSTER, OHIO, October 31.-This is the
 last day of the great show at Vienna, and the first opportunity Dye had to say part ing word to it; which word is rather forced upon me by your apology of Oct. II, for at | tempting to know more about Vienna | than 1 did who "h had been thar" There is
 no one more aware of the mechanical | beauties of my manuscript than myself,
 hence if you follow my spelling right | through, you will not be far wrong. am
 also aware that the Dutch language is not
 a favOrite of mine, but your attempt to | improve upon my rendering of it in the | same number of THE CITIZEN, satisfies me that you had better let me entirely | alone. Your blunder about the great
 Ringstrasse" Circular street,, is OutdOne | by trying to engraft upon the Dutch miXt-
 ure of French and African English. I
 wrote plainly enough: Der WeltauSstell-
 ung," (the universal eXhibition.) You left
 off the r, and hence "De Weltausstellung' which is enough to cause Frenchman 1 to declare war against all the Dutch eX- | tant, and make our colOred brethren hold | an indignation meeting. fSam BOstick, | the barber of Tucson, don't cut the thrOatS | of both proprietor and printer of THE CIT HEN, then l am as ready to damn him as | l am the Dutch. Printers and publishers | are very smart set; have known sever- al before. If Christ were to send down i new commentary on the New Testament, you would ring some change or other on his spelling, punctuation or what not; and
 If the devil were to send you an account of
 big thing on birthstone, you would all
 swear that he had no business to know
 anything at all about hell outside of Ari- ZOna.
 The most representative feature of Amer ican industry and enterprise at Vienna,
 outside of pumps and big map of the Northern Pacific Railroad, was a young man with a case of type and small ma chine press. 1 should say his name was
 Wm. T. Stewart. He was something of a gOd-send to me there, and lager beer suffer- ed whenever we met. He was there in the interest of the American Youth Publish ing Company" and printed little paper of that name; and the big Dutchmen were much aStOnished thereat, for newspaper printing in Austria is small potatoes as yet. Speaking of beer, l did not tell you enough about the article made at Vienna. In brief then, there is no beer outside of Vienna. For the best of beer and brass bands, Vienna leaves all the world far be- hind. My existence there depended en- tirely on those two things, and l feel longing to get back there again-I think now, in view of the beastly roads here and bad weather, I could somehow fight it out against the Dutch and the devil through all eternity, by having plenty of Vienna l per of Levin knowing "how to run a | brewery" l Iremember that DHtchman; a good enough fellow, and perhaps makes | as good beer as any man in the United | States. Moreover, l do not wish to injure | his business in the least. But it behOOYeS me, as an honest "looker-on in Vienna" to add that l.. don't know how to run | a brewery; don't know what good beer is, | unless he has "been var" and grown up | in the only simon pure lager beer school. ] i, .Dr fI,o liShman says Of the Americans on the | question of beer-"T They 'avn't got the | 'ops." American ladies at Vienna will | bear me out in this opinion of that re- | nnarllable article of food and raiment. In | Summer time they swim and sleep in it.
 It has been showing and raining for two | weeks here, and altogether the roads are | as bad as possible and in such horrible | contrast with Europe generally that | would like to be back in Italy for instance | The Appian Way of historic interest at | Rome, built 2000 years ago, and yet in use, | is vet a better road than any in America. | u is the old stOry--the increasing unEap- | Diness of man as ne grows older, whether | a traveller or stay-2t home. The old folks l here have no desire at all apparently to | abandon this climate and muddy high | ways for anything claimed for the other | side of Jordan. Ah, but how they do like | to 20 on accumulating more land and | beeVes, as Falstaf would say! But was | essentially nonplussed-dried up and dis | gusted over ali my budget of European | knoWledge-by one of my country cousins 1 (by marriage) night before last.

The newspapers most all publish the market reports local | and general, so that there was no use of asking the above conundrun1 at all. And now that know how it is and what it all amounts to, 1 say to all concerned-don't go to Europe, but go west.
 And that also reminds me of how man. aged to get this far along. considering that I was lolling about the city of Cork, Ire land at last accounts. It took us three days to make the steamer Ohio, of the American line, stronger than she was be- fore: so that when w0 started second time and being favored by good weather, the ship made a notable passage nine days and five hours between Queenstown and Cape May. The Egypt of the Nation al line, had the start of us several hours, and she did not reach New York as soon as we got to Philadelphia. Tl1e company evidently will make it stick as well as money, and who knows but this quiet en- terprise of the Quaker city will yet revolu- tioniZe shipping interests in the United Sto+aCo Tl1o cifio Mail fOIlxg arc haViDU
