defect in our arrangement, by having
sacrificed the whole Of the whole OF the

came to the end OF the English show,
he turned back. seeing nothing beyond

that there was plus ultra, he returned

One OF the old executive commission
Mr.. G. s. Blodgett. having taken pains
to inform himself fully Of the facts de-
veloped by the investigation into it's
proceedings, has sent his resignation to
the President. He knew nothing Of the
operations of the commission in New

Van Buren, or Mr.. Meyer, and arrived

1t Is understood that the temporary
commission united with the honorary
commissioners in recommending the
immediate appointment OF general su-
perintendent to the American contribu-
ton as the only means OF effectually
disposing of the questions that must
arise in the absence OF permanent
authority. Colonel Carnon is in feeble
health, and already much affected BY
his lsbors in organizing the manage
ment, and Mr.. Roosevelt is unable to
remain here long on account OF bis own
affairs. Mr.. Spang's affairs also de-
mand his presence elsewhere, but 1t ls

THE PRATER UNDER SUNSHINE.

describes the Prater as follows:
Far away as the eye could stretch,
each side of the drive was thickly lined
with onlookers, Viennese Of all kinds;
priests with slouched hats and long,
dark brown coats reaching to their
heels, with tlue collars round their
necks; rotund smug burghers in black
broadcloth, great in watch chains
adorning their stout stomachs, and mas"
sive rings decorating their fat forcing
ers; female 6ot1ycoise. rather bulgy IN

klea, rather clumsy about the hands
and rather coarse as regards the balr,
but brigbt-eyed, intelligent and good
tempered; specialized professors from
the colleges and hospitals, pretty nurse.
maids, with their charges; wasp wasted
officers and private soldiers, principally
remarkable for the way in which their
ears are set on to their heads, like the
double handles to ancient drinking
cups: foreigners, too, in shoals-the
Hunpariaus, in knee boots, braided
frockcoat and dark wooden caps; Po-
lish Jews, in grease staipe gabardines,
with greasy ringlets hanging over their
shoulders; Servian peasants, covered
with their heavy woolskins, and Eog-
lishmen, in that universal costume Of
checked suit and round hat in which
that eccentric nation delights to travel.
Here, in an open barouche, and DASH
ing along at his horses sharpest trot,
is The Crown Prince Of Germany, with
the youthful hope of Denmark by his
