PARIS, August "a, 1878.
The HERALD correspondent at Vienna
gives some interesting details concerning
the reception accorded General Grant in
that city this week. He arrived there on
Sunday night August IS. At the railroad
station he was met by Minister Kasson, the
secretaries and members Of the American
Legation and large number of the Amer
lean residents. He was loudly cheered as
he stepped out of the railway carriage.
AN INTERESTING PROGRAMME
On the 10Th the General was visited at the
Legation of the United States by Count An
Grassy, the First Minister of the Council,
and several colleagues In the evening he
dined with the Countess and Mrs. Grant at
Posts On the goth he had an audience of
His Imperial Majesty Francis Joseph at the
lovely palace of Schoenbrunn, spending the
remainder Of the day driving about the inn
perial grounds and forests and visiting
points of interest in that romantic and his
toric neighborhood.
Si~ DINING WITH THE EMPEROR
On the 2ist General and Mrs. Grant werc
entertained by the imperial family and
dined with the Emperor in the evening
During the morning Baron Steinberg ac-
companied the Emperor's American guests
to the Arsenal.
DIPLOMATIC CoURTEs1Es.
On the 22d Minister Kasson gave diplo-
matte dinner in honor Of our President,
at which nearly all the foreign Ambassadors
were present The members of the Austro-
Hungarian Cabinet attended the reception
in the evening, and added to the attractive
ness and brilliancy of the occasion. The
General expressed himself greatly pleased
with Vienna; thinks it charming city. He
was gratifed also at the marked attentions
OF the Emperor's household and the earnest
endeavor shown to honor him as citizen
of the United States. The General leaves
Monday next for Steirmart.
PARIS WILL SAVE TIE EXHIBITION BUILDINGS.
Paris has pretty well decided that the
Exhibition buildings shall be preserved
after the close, except the central covered
alleys which space will be used as drill
ing ground. There has been a good deal of
discussion on this subject among the gov
ernment and municipal functionaries. The
example set at Philadelphia has, think,
had something to do with the decision,
many believing the American precedent
worthy of being followed. A few years ago
American precedents we're not seriously
considered but times have changed and
Frenchmen, in this respect, have changed
with them.
EXHIBITION PRIz"s.
The proportion between tickets and
prizes at the Exhibition is still lottery.
This much has been settled, however: two
thirds of the receipts are to bo spent in the
purchase of articles exhibited, and these
are to be given to exhibitors as prizes.
BULL FIGHTS.
Another sensation is in store for
Parisians A Madrid company has made
the most elaborate preparations for u num-
ber of bull fights. which are to be carried
out strictly on the Spanish plan. These
events are expected to draw" imme nsely
with the bourgeois.
PRINTERS FEAST.
There was great international banquet
given to printers on Tuesday at the Grand
Hotel 1t was brilliant affair. Most of
the large Continental firms we're repre-
sented. Several subord mate officers of the
government were present. The speeches
were of the order prevalent at these din
ners-gossipy, full of little business allu-
sions, with here and there political innu-
endo.
