rected separately. At the present moment
at least i've thousand men are employed in
constructing the main building and its de-
pendents, and the work has been going on
steadily all winter. Considering the rela-
tive time, the Exhibition is much more for
ward than the Paris Exposition, and will,
accidents excepted, be finished in full line
for the designated period (June) of the
grand opening. Meanwhile il is becoming
evident that there will be 4 dazzling mus
teriug Of he prime S and potentates of the
earth and on the exhibition ground there
are Indications that the great people take a
keen interest in its progress. The ennis
saries of the Emperor William are already
erecting an edifce which is to be exclusive
y devoted TO illustrating the famous Prus-
sian educational system, which produced
the "thinking bayonets" of the recent war;
those Oriental grandees, the Sultan of Tur-
key and the Khedive of Egypt, will be rep
resented by miniature pinnacled palaces
near the binks Of the Danube. Like Ma
poleon III, the Austrian Emperor will be
provided with bijou of a pavilion for his
special behool and use, whi.e representa-
lives of many of the Oriental peoples will
rear characteristic edifices, such as mosques
and kiosks. Buddhist and Thibet temples,
and Chinese bell towers. While all the arts,
mechanical, useful and ornamental, will be
displayed without regard to space or ex-
pense, the pleasures and refreshment Of the
multitudes from every corner of the earth,
whom the Viennese confidently expect to
arrive, will be cared for by ample prepara-
tion. The admirable feature which, more
than anything else, made the Paris Expo
sition success, will be repeated at Vienna;
there will be restaurants Of all nations on
the ground, whittier the guests may resort,
either for familiar home dishes or to seek
those which have become famous as the
culinary specialties of other nations. These
will be luxuriousy fitted up, aud provid-
ed with everything to charm the eve, titi-
late the nostrils, and please the palate. The
Emperor looks confidently forward to act
ing the part of host to the greatest of his
brother sovereigns. Already it is known
that the Emperors of Russia and Germany,
the Kings of Italy, Saxony, Wurtemburg,
Belgium and Holland, the Grand Turk
and the Khedive, the Shah of Persia, and
not lWprODaOly the Mlkado or japan, and
very possibly the young Emperor of China,
will lend the distinction and state of their
presence; while it is in the region of like
lihood that President Theirs and the Prince
of Wales, the Emperor OF Brazil and the
President of Spain (whoever he may be)
will be added TO the list of the august guests
OF the House of Hapsburg. The whole cost
of the erection of the Exhibition buildings
and purchase Of land will, as estimated,
reach aot far from five millions of dollars
in gold, although the Austrian Government
has 50 far appropriated only some two mil
lions and half. But it il by no means a
blseless calculation 10 reckon the return
which the expenditure of the swarms OF
visitors will make in Vienna. Strenuous
efforts are being made by the Com mission
ers to provide accom- 'nodations so ample
that but trhins rise in prices will take
place; but the experience of Vie, na will
probably b. that of Paris iepeated. The
city will surely be cIanmed to lis utmost
capacity; and those who wish 10 see the
exhibition in anything like comfort, hac
best secure lodgings at the earliest practi
