The opening OF the Universal Exposition In
Vienna Thursday, with the attendant ceremonies
and addresses OF the Archduke Charles, the EN-
peror Prince Won Auenperg and the Burgomaster
OF Vienna, was announced In yesterdays cable
dispatches The Importance OF the event, bringing
together as 1t does people and products OF all coun
tries, cannot be gainsaId, while the interest which
attaches to the spectacle merely is OF no ordinary
kind. Numerous descriptive writers have been
employed by the press both in this country ana
Europe, to attend the Exhibition. Among these
are Edmund Yates, the English novelist, and John
Russell Young, well known New York CORE
spondent, who have sent to the NEW YORK HERALD
separate accounts of the opening day. The HERALD
also astonshes Its readers with duplicate in the
German tongue, including an account written by
Louise Muhlbach.
from the Sunday Democrat New York;, May Al
The NEW YORK HERALD is not satisfied with dis
covering travellers long supposed to be lost, and
whom nation failed TO ind-in piercing the
depth OF the ocean to reveal its hidden mysteries;
in breaking through the Spanish lines, and laying
open before the worla the sores of Cuba. and in
penetrating the lava beds and the haunts OF Captain
Jack: but it must strike out new ana enterprsing
path. The Vienna Exhibition has attracted much at
tention lately, and the HERALD, indignant at the
snail pace OF our sow-coach German papers, pre-
sented It's German readers on Friday last with a
full page In German OF description OF the EXhibl-
tion written by one OF Germany's greatest living
authors, and teegraphed across the ocean at I'M
mense expense. This is wonderful enterprise, and
could not be equalled by any other existing news
paper.
[From the Elmira Gazette, May 81
While America at Vienna is disgraced officially
and as an exhbitor-a despatch saying the Amer
can quarters closed, looking battered and
dingy-American journalism has gained its grand
est triumph in connection with the Exposition,
which is ccntring at the brilliant Austrian capt.
tai personal culture and Illustrations OF the pro-
gress of the world in science, art and mechanism.
Thursday, with ostentatlous dongs the Worlds
nected the plaudits OF the populace, while tour
lists from the New World and travellers of the
Old united to swen the throng and add the
majesty OF numbers to the moral and historical
greatness OF the hour The enchanting field is one
OF keenest interest to the men OF etters-the ones
who form the current sentiment Of the day and
record the worlds doings. The great journals OF
the land have their representatives at Vienna, and
while in other matters the United States may not
| figure favorably so far as her newspaper repre-
sentation is concerned 1t is at once creditable, and
in fact its enterprise and energy is OF the
vels Of this marvellous age. Take, for instance, the
| HERALD OF yesterday. 1t even Out-heraded itself.
Its report OF the opening day ceremonies and de-
scriptons embraced sixteen columns-part in Ger
man, the other In English. The German CORE
| spondence Is by the great German novelist
! and writer Louise Mhlhbach, and Berthold
Auerbach; while Edmund Yates and J. Rus
sell Young are It's English writing corre-
| spondents. Such copious reports Of the opening
ceremonies and the putting OF them in type within
few hours after their receipt-tO spread before
the people on this side Of the water such full and
comprehensive descriptions by writer's so eminent,
t4s . feat and triumph reserved only for an Amer-
can newspaper and that the HERALD. Its contri-
button to the great Exposition Is the greatest
exhibition of the worlds progress that viii be
at Vienna.
| From the Detroit Post May 81
| The NEW YORK HERALD evidently intends to keep
the reputation for enterprise 1t acquired in the
Abyssnan war and the search for Livingstone. 1t
has employed Edmund Yates and John Russell
Young, formerly managing editor OF the New York
! Tribune to tell what they see in English; and
Berthold Auerbach, the celebrated German novelist,
author Of ION the Heights, and Country House on
the Rhine" and other works less familiar to Ameri-
readers, and Louise Mnhlbach, whose historical
romances OF Frederick the Great and other heroes
| are famous. The two latter will write in German,
and their letters will be printed in that language.
English TRANSACTIONS OF their letters will appear the
| following day. The HERALD declares that these
letters will be sent by the cable, appearing in its
columns the day after they written. II this is
| actually performed it will be one of the latest
| advances In journalism.
