Royalty AND THE JENKINsEs AT VIENNA
Bayard Taylor writes from Vienna that one
of the blessed privileges connected with the
position at the Universal Exposition, and
which, to Mr.. and Mrs. jenkins, Is compen-
sation for Vienna high prices and discom-
fort, bad climate, and sitting dust out Of the
exhibition, and weary hours In II, Is TINT OF
meeting ,emperors and princes, kings and
queens, arcbdukes aud duchesses, face to
face and like common mortals. The writer
says: snts}
"rhese people are met 10 the art building
with much greater frequency than in the
main exhibition, where space is enormous
and screens and trophies hide people from
each other. In the harrow passages about
the jewel cages You might elbow princess
without knowing it, and pass king six feet
away unconscious of the felicity which bad
befallen you but In the roomy saloons Of
the art hall you may look at picture with
an emperor, hear his sublime criticisms,
wstch the satisfaction and reprobdtton pass
over the imperial ccnntenance In alternating
phase, and he electroplated with wisdom and.
greatness at less expense than ever before
hsppened TO any Jenkins from our side OF
the art galleries, which took place on
lOtu VI tHO 11aSAASh sEk~sS~
in most unostentations manner, made
the rounds of the rooms with those Of
us who happened to be there without any
kind of reference to the imperial presence
being required or given except q request TO
those present not to Obstruct bis way; and
all in the room except those In immediate
contact with him very sensibly acted as II
there were no one present but unknown
visitors, kept their hats on, and talked and
looked at the pictures with no other refer
ence to the. Chief Of State than TO give him
the pace required. No police were there to
protect him, and he appeared TO enjoy being
allowed 10 pay bis respects to art without
annoyance or ceremony. The other royal
and imperial personages here have followed
his common-sense precedent, and constant
visitor to the galleries might have seen all Of
them with the same freedom"

cession that ever attends on the triumph Of
the intidel philosophy. .,s

Gentlemen, though amid the blackness Of

the good providence of God its radiance will

will conduct man to Natures altar and bid

west end of the Union-H Herald build
