The crown prince II much Rdmlred

he speaks perfectly six languages, lio'

The third carriage was closed, and In
II sat the beautiful empress acoompa-
nled by her chicfcount lady,
The fouth and last carriage was oc-
cupled BY Acknowledgment Count Bel
legaldc and Herr Won Latour,
Loud cries OF "lIOcll Hochlp and
the peoples hymn pcnllng fourth from
the musical instruments greeted the
appearance Of the imperial tram, and
M II passed over the broN market
places, cleaning with brilliant lights
and packed with dense but good ma
turcd throng and through the narrow
streets now as light as on II bright
day-lor the sun scarcely peeps into
many Of these crowded narrow thor
ouglllnres-lhe emperor must ccrtnln-
~ have been touched by the evidences
Of his popularity Of the good will borne
10 him by his people, After passing
through the principal market places,
the graben over ST. Stephens plat2,
whore the gothic spires and arches Of
the beautiful cathedral stood out
against the stur-llt sky in bands of bril-
liant light, and cleaning in the Varl-
gated reflected rnys Of the numerous
electric lights seemed like n vivid
creation Of the fancy, or II fairy
of building | called into existence by
by the potent touch of enchantcrs
wand, and which II breath could dis
solve, the royal c0rtege took It's way
into the broad beautiful Ring strnssc,
which, upon this evening, cncircled
the city like girdle sci with radiant
gems,
Upon any evening IN the year the
Ring strassc, lighted by five rows Of
lamps, Is a sight worth seeing, and add
to this the brilliant illumination IN
every window, and the numerous de-
signs bl0ssoming out in tongues of fire
from the palaces and residences, and
the scene surpassos description.
All the world knows that Vienna
has just received the git Of good pure
water brought from the "cmperor's
spring" in the Semoring Alps, hut per-
haps all the world does not know that
with this same water they have made
n fountain that surpasscs all Others in
the world in the height Of its jet of
water, $50 feet. The basin ofthe fountain
is very large, perhaps eighty feet,
and from the rim of this basin innu-
merablc smaller Jets of water spring

fountain sparkling in the bright sun
light and you think nothing can be
more beautiful, but see it illuminated
by Bengal lights and you know that
nothing can sulpass ii. The graceful
jet runs TO its east light, and is at first
tinged with delicate pink hue, which
fades away and is replaced by vivid
green, and so the brilliant colors chase
each other, each moro beautiful than
the preceding, and the sea Of upturned
human faces are transformed by the
light that falls upon them, now into
rosy, glowing tints, now cleaning with
CHASTITY death-likc hue.
The imperial party occupied nearly
two hours in making the tour, and was
everywhere greeted with enthusiasm,
the crowd cheering Ond running after
the carriages in manner flattering to
the vanity of the occupants, but
dangerous to life and limb of those who
are unable to get out of their path.
Vague rumors of deaths occurring
through the press and crowd have been
circulated, but no well authenticated
report of such accident has been seen
in the papers. In fact, when the en-
peror, on the following day made in
quiry as to whether any accident had
occurred, he was assured that none had
taken place. but that the whole affair
had been orderly and happily conduct-
ed, and was proof Of the vivacity and
loyalty of the Viennese, and also of their
orderly, law-abiding disposition.
a walk through the city streets was
full of interest, but at the same time
trying to one feeble strength or weak
nerves. The streams of people pour
ing in opposite directions or crossing
each other made n whirlpool ofhuman
being, in which n poor, lone waif
would be tossed and pushed about,
running great IRISH of not finding
the way out, and often cries of 90
my childw or "help, help! | cannot
BREATHE" reached the ear. If one was
very muscular or two or three weak |
ones united their strength with
strong determination to stem the tide,
or cross the current, they might sue
coed, but toes would suffer, and arms
and sides bear marks that would tell
the story of the struggle for days after
The theaters were all brilliantly illu-
minated, and in several of them the |
evening entertainment was free to the
public, tickets being obtainablc the
