Our correspondence from Vienna gives a
most graphic and vivid account of the cere-
monies attending the opening of the great
Exhibition. The scenes in the Prater, the
salient features of the vast assembly,
the participation of the Imperial family
in this festival of industry, are all
described with a forco and clearness
which leave nothing to be desired. The scene
is perfectly reproduced for our readers by the
most intelligent, graceful, and practiced pens
in American journalism.

One of those terrible mine disasters which
80 frequently shock humanity has just oc-
Cured in Nova Scotia. The PictOu coal-min-
ing region is well known as affording employ
ment to vast number of people. BY an ex-
ploson of gases in one of these mines yester-
day a great many lives Zone account says
more than fifty were lost, and the fires then
hndled are still burning. These casualties,
always distressing, do not seem to be shorn
of any of their horrors by the improvements
which modern science has introduced into
mining.
