To visit all tho plaoos Of recreation and nmuso-
1nont In and around Vienna would require q
month Of successive evenings, and each one ap-
ponrs to be moro attractive than the lnst. Tho
gardona, especially rrosont ecenea that wero aa-

euburba Of Vionna, witch wo ylaltod fow ovcn-

aixty performers, occupied claboratey decorated
and Illuminated music stands In diforont ror-
ti0ns Of tho garden, tho central ono. callod tho

thousands OF gas jets. Tho central portion Of
tho garden, occupying space about four tirnoa
na large as Lafayette bquaro, Was filled with
aons, and they aro usually all filed, whilst an
army Of waitors nro ruahing to and fro to supply
tho oalls for refreshments. Near tho far end Of
tho garden is tho dancing circle, and another
theatre. With boxes and psrquotto. whore there
is nightly performances; ono Of the attractions
at preBcnt being q band OF Ethiopian uingorB,
with tght-rope and alaok-ropo dancing. Tho
price OF admiration to tho ga1don Ia about 30
ovonings Is from 5000 to 10000. On hol-
days aud Sunday evonings everything IL In full
blass, and 1t would bo impossible to convoy to
your readers any adequate idoa Of tho immensity
and brillianoy Of the presented. The festivities
are kep. up until after midnight, and on Friday
evening, In addition to Ill Tho musical nttrac-
tions the singing Associations Of Vienna, to tho
number Of over ono thousand trained voices,
givo grand open air concert from tho celobrat-
cd winge Of tho Allambra, tho central portion

tho Neuo Welt, numbering over one hundred
string Instruments alono. Tho illuminated
grounds in front OF tho Mauabra affords neats at
tahleB, with left for tho FREQ accosB Of tho
visitors, for eight to ten thousand spectators.
Tho character Of tho orchestral music on ordi-
nary nights, from cach OF tile soveral bands, is
Of tho highest order, boing mostly by tho great
military bands, all tile mombors OF which arc ro-
CURED 10 DO proaciont performers on string In,
struments also. Every member Of Btrauss'
band can perform on two or moro Instruments,
and SO it is with Ill great bauds Of Vienna. But
the people Of Vienna are critical judges Of mt
clacquors boing allowed. II tho pieces aro we'll
rendered, there Ia applause but If not, dead
silence enaues. Hence, whoneyor theIo Is oven
moderate applause, tho leader comes with appa-
rent delight to the front, bows, and repeats a
portion Of tho air. Whenever any great 6ucooss
is achieved BY an orchestra, the applause is ro-
nowod until the eptsro orchestra rise and bow to
the oudlence. Thoro is constant demand for
new musical productions, and johann Strauss
doyoteA his whole time to The labor.
MORE ABOUT CAFE LIFE.
Not desiring to DO shus up in the monotony Of
hotel life, wo hayo invariably, Whenever it was
possible, mixed with tho people, as Anording
nation IN regard to national poo,linrites and
modes Of life. To-day We dino, 6roakfaHt, or sup
in one restaurant or cafe, and tomorrow in q
similar establishment in another section Of tho
city, md they arc 80 numerous that they can bo
found at eyery turn: They are oil excellent, aud
arc invariably crowded with customers, inclutl-
ing ladies, many of whom drop In unattended,
pnrtake Of their meala and depart. It would al
most seem that threo-fonrths of the population
live entirely in these establishments, as thore
arc many hundreds Of them, which arc
also visited by tho poorer classes. We took
supper last oVening at tho Riollof, w1oro thore
conld not have been less thdn 1900 ladies aud
gentlemen partaaing OF thor evening repaet.

TIE MoDEH OF GERMAN LIFE.
Having hoard much Of the modes Of social
life Of the German In the Fatherland, both in
approval and in condemnation, one Of tho
purposes OF this visit to Germany haa been to
give to tho rcaaers OF the american tho oppor-
tun1ty OF forming fair Judgment on what we
hope they will deom unprecedented and Impair
tial testimony. II tho love Of music, aud .
high appreciation OF its charms, is con,meuda-
ble, thon no ono can find fault with these aasom-
blageH. which arc as quiet aud orderly, and as
free from all manner OF elceeBoB, as ono Of Thoo-
doro Thomas concerts at Fordn Opera House.
Whilst listening to music thoy like to cat, drink
beer, and smoke in tho open air. Which eating ie,
to tho grent mass Of thom, their usual evening
ropast. Mhny take coffee instead Of boer, whilst
tho ladies' are eating cakcs or ices but even the
children drink their beer; It is part Of the food
class Of tho community too high or too exclusive
to join IN these nightly gatherings, which are to
be found IN al parts Of Vienna, They n5o places
Of relaxation after the labors OF the day, and
arc 30 regarded and enjoyed by. tho best peoplo
Of Vienna. Tho quiet and good order that pre-
yaila ia remarkable, and any unaeomly noise or
e1eoss would CAUSE the prompt removal Of the
