 Republic. I wish every American
 could see this horse stable in question
 The gold and precious stones used 1T
 finishing off one or two of these wheel
 ed concerns would alone build the
 Treasury at Washington in fact, the
 great Capitol itself I swear be-
 lieve have already seen more pre-
 cious metal, stones, ivory, &c., so far
 on my tour, stacked away to moulder
 in these old churches, palaces and
 horse stables, than ten wheeled To-
 comotive could haul down hill. At
 present, the numb Der of horses i'll the
 imperial stable is only about four
 hundred, eating oats at over one dol
 lar per bushel. They have sold off a
 hundred or so lately. The saddles
 and saddle-cIoths, the ornamented
 hunting weapons-- oh, Lord, don't
 ask me to mention any part of 1t Tn
 detail. I have to pass the stable
 every day once or twice from where l
 stop, and it looks bigger all the time bigger than the great Exhibition
 building. I do not think have seen
 Or shall see anything on the trip to
 impress me more than the contents
 and arrangement of their horse and
 carriage concern. And 1t is but one of the kind in monarchial Europe.
 Let those who prate about American extravaganza and display, muster up courage and coin enough to cross the Atlantic just once and use their eyes to ordinary advantage. Austria IS rather rotten state however, and no wonder. But there must be wonderful resource here somewhere aud somehow 10 build such city and keep up such vast human machinery
 and what not. Every body, except the lowest servants, and market people, seem to go better dressed than Americans and look as healthy as anywhere; though, as the Shah told them, hehind all this pretty palace work - there is much that smells bad. In fact. Vienna has as many different stenches as Cologne, and I do not wonder that the Persian despot turned up his nose at most everything in Germany. It is cu- rious life, this. In many respects I like it hugely; and then about the time I think am going to spell Jo- seph with an f, 1 meet with some fea- ture that makes me hop round and damn every body for ever allowing me 10 come here. Just before commence ing to write this, 1 had one of these spells while trying to run restaur- ant and get little dutch something or other to eat. It Is the little troub- les and wants anyhow that make life. have threatened you with letter about door -latches, tooth-picks Sc.

 About the Worlds Exhibition, Il know too much already to say any thing. That is the trouble about the whole trip-I take notes of all 1 think worthy, and find so much on hand that 1 have no time (only when tired out) to boil it down. I have tried to Ego through" it as thor oughly as 1 knew how--taking it by sections and by wholesale; and re- beating and comparing; for it is cer- 3ainly worthy of well-doing now that am here, and it Is 8 great study, tco, on general principles. had no idea [ would be one-fourth so much inter- ested in it before coming here, and that interest increases if anything every day. Shall give it week or 50 more at least. It is only once in a life time, and I may stay month Most of the Americans leave 1t about the third day, and don't know any thing about it for certain. The Eng llsh are generally less contented still. If could only talk Dutch, could live as cheaply and we'll as reason- able mortal should ask. That is the real truth about the Vienna thieves. They do not go at you with shot gun, as in America, but all hands down to the dog, nip your pocket little, and 1t foots up nicely-on their side. If ever l get back to the Elm peror Grants potato-patch, and can catch 8 raw Dutchman out alone, I will just tie him up to a cold rock and eat his liver out by inches, as did that chap on Mount Caucasus-in the ia ble, and no other vulture shall have ! mouthful.
