WHERE YOU GET GOOD EATING.


We are living well in Vienna,
notwithstanding the great luxuries
of the season in America are al
most unknown here. Good meat,
well cooked, sweet and crisp bread,
the best made bread in the world,
sweet butter and good beer can
always be had in Vienna. OF
course, any one can live well upon
these solids and substantials, and
to those who know no better, they
are the summing up of human
happiness. That anything else
should be wanting is regarded as
ridiculous, and when an American
undertakes to describe the variety
of human food that tempts the pal
ate in his famed land, it is received
with q shrug of the shoulders, ex-
pressive partly of doubt and part
" of disgust that any one should
want to eat such things. The vi
ennoise regard fruits as unhealthy,
and most of them will never ven
ture further than to eat a half.
dozen cherries. There are peaches
here, but they are very poor, and
merely sold from the fruit stands.
There are also plenty of apricots
which no one seems to care about
Last evening at the Reidhoff, while
the merits of tho food OF different
countries was being discussed, and
the several Americans present
were describing n number of oul
special luXuries, a Cuban gentle
man who had been roaming oveI
the world for the past eight years
and had resided much Of his time
in America, was appealed TO, wher
he delivered himself in substance
about as follows: Hf you wan
the best beef and mutton in thu
world, with good ale, go to Lon
don for them; if you desire thu
best pastry and fancy dishes, g,
to Paris for them; if you prefeI
the substantials, we'll cooked anC
served, and the best made coffee
and excellent beer, come to Wien
ma for them; but if you desire al
these essentials To good Twin:
combined, together with soft crabs

ducks, and an endless supply o
the most luscious fruit, you mus
go To America for them. "-Vienn:

GREAT STORM AT HALIFAX.

Accounts of the recent disas-
trous storm in this province are
constantly coming to hand. The
damage in the town and county of
Pieton has been great. Fences,
gates, and in fact everything capa-
bic of beng moved by the wind,
are scattered around the streets
and fields; the leaves Of fruit trees
are withered. Gardens generally
present a most deplorable appear
ance.
A new wharf in course of con
struction for Vale colliery, near
Pieton harbor, has been almost en-
tirely demoralizcd. The landing
was also washed away. The
schooners Jesse Hoyt and Lead
ing Star and the brig Willard Brae
went ashore on the fishers grant
side Of the harbor, and at least
two other schooners were driven
ashore on the same side. On the
Pieton side the public wharf and a
few others were damaged. The
cellars and warehouses along
Water street were flooded, and
quantities of flour, salt and other
perishable articles injured or de
stroyed. Four bridges were wash
ed away at Fort Hastings. There
are seven vessels ashore at Point
Mulgrovc, four at Pirate Cove,
four ut Point Hooksbay and four
at Point Hood. The wharves are
all gone at Point Mulgrove. Sew
eral houses and barns were blown
down and child was killed by the
falling of house at Cape Jack.
Eastward of Halifax the gale was
the fiercest that has swept over
this country for years. Buildings,
trees and fences were blown down
and strewn in every direction.
Two unfinished churches were
blown down at Cape Bay. The
same accounts of disastrous effects
of the hurricane come from other
sections of the province. To the
westward the fruit crop has been
almost wholly destroyed, and with
in n radius of 200 miles, fences,
trees and barns are Frustrated and
shipping damaged.

HINTS ToA YOUNG BALL-GoER.-
BE very careful not to pull down
your shirt sleeve, or up your col.
lar, or, in fact, to do anything to
your costume, as you enter the
ballroom. 1t implies nervousness
or uneasiness with yourself to do
so; and your one great endeavor
in all societies should he to appear
thoroughly at your ease, and salts
fled, without vanity or coXcombry,
with your dress and appearance.
Do not stand idle; but do not
dance over-much. The one i'm
plies small number of friends:
the other wastes valuable timo,
and prevents n constant lookout
all around you which is essential
to success. Be introduced to
movable people quietly; there is
no necessity to advertise to by
ISLANDERS that you did not know
them before. Never talk much to
woman you have just made the
acquaintance OF, nor eagerly. She
may be allowed to suppose you
wish to know her, but not that her
acquaintance is any particular ac-
QUESTION to you. Above all things
my dear boy, / entreat YOU not to
stand in the loorways, nor herd
with other men upon the landing.
1t is simply advertising yourself
failure. Tie yourself to the vari-
est wall-flower, gossip with the
dowdiest mother, dance with the
disappointed of the maiden hood,
rather than sink to this. Sitting
in corners comprises a very large
subject, or, rather, array of sub
jectS. To know how to sit in cor
ners we'll and prudently requires a
vast experience and a steady head;
so, until you have much extended
your acquaintance and your knowl
edge of humanity, l would recon-
mend you to avoid that most
agreeable of the pleasures of ball
going. 1t is not for a novice at
once to penetrate to the inner
depths of fashions mysteries, and
l shall therefore put off my advice
on this subject until / come, in a
future letter, to the great subject
OF flirting, which, of course, COM
prises the great art of sitting in
corners.-London Society.

MEDICAL TREATMENT OF Mr.. GREE.
LEY.--Medical skill was exhausted In
trying to save the great journalist. Ev-
cry remedy and appliance was used in
his case. One operation was reported
which is seldom witnessed in the treat
ment of mental maladies. 1t was per-
formed by DIR. Brown Sequard, former
ly 0f Paris, the INCEST medical author ity
on mental complaints. 1t consisted of
the application of an iron heated to a
white heat. This was drawn quickly
down his spinal column from the neck
to the hipjoints, in the hope that it
would draw the Inflammation away from
the brain. The patient was in torpid
condition, and apparently did not ex-
perience any sensation from the opera
tion.-N Y. san.

Sam Patch's Last ,Jump.

While in Rochester met Mr.. Hub
bard, an old resident of Genesse county,
who saw Sam Patch make his famous
jump of the Genesse Falls, thirty or for
ty years aoo. He says that jump day
was great day in Rochester. The peo-
pie gathered for miles around to see this
intermittent American jump, as he per-
formed his last feat
Sam Patch had previously jumped
over Niagara. Then, saying, "some
things can be done as we'll as others" he
slashed around like Sergeant Bates
through the western part of the States,
to back up his proverb. Before hi last
jump he bought big black bear of
circus man and led him over the turn
pike to Rochester.
The morning of the day came. Sam
had arrived in town with the bear and
the crowd rushed to Rochester from
miles around. Twelve o'clock was the
hour to jump-to jump hundred feet
down-down the terrible fall into the
boiling caldron below. A staging had
been built out over the water, and Sam
appeared on the staging dressed in
sailors garb. His friends now took up
collection on. the shore, while Sam
swung his hat and said after jumping
himself he would return and throw the
bear over. Then, amid a death like
stiffness, he ran few steps and gave
one leap in the air and fell, cutting the
mist like a led sinker, two hundred feet
into the seething whirlpool. AS he left
the staging his body assumed an oblique
position, his head foremost, but above
his feet. As he struck the water there
was dreadful silence, while the popu-
lace awaited with choking breath his re-
appearance. One minute, two minutes,
three minutes, aud no signs of the dar-
ing jumper. Then the people set up
loud wail-a long murmur of sorrow.
They say he had been drinking du-
ring the morning. and failed to keep his
feet together and his body perpendicular
as on previous occasions. So when he,
struck the water the breath left his body
and he was knocked senseless. A month
or so afterwards they found his body
away below Rochester, drifted upon the
rocks
