Why the Empress Of Austria Did Not
Grace the Wedding at Windsor.

have heard an explanation Of the
refusal Of tho Empress of Austria to
grace the wedding ceremony st Wind
scr with her amiable presence. 1t is
certainly not tho distance from tho
Koyal Borough to Royal Meath no,
this Is it, on dit Her imperial majes-
y last season had selected Leicester
shire, first among English counties in
the annals of hunting, as the scene of
her Nimrodian prowess. On her
return journey to Vienna she repaired
70 Windsor TO say farewell TO Queen
Victoria, 1t was a Sunday. The snow
was thick upon town and tower, but
such little inconvenience are beneath
the notice Of the illustrious lady, who
faces wind and weather as CALAMITY as
she does the most formidable bull
finch to be met with in a thirty miles
run. In royal visits it is the thing"
to announce beforehand the hour of
arrival and departure, and the en-
press, who had como By the ordinary
train, took leave Of the queen and set
out In m of the royal carriages to
catch the train that was timed to pass
Windsor station within ten minutes
OF their adieux. 1t was showing and
blowing, and altogether ~uninviting for
even such shorttrip as the journey to
London but the queen, either through
torgetfulness or something else, made
no offer of prolonging her hospitality
to her imperial sister. So, naturally,
things took their course and the car
rlage proceeded to the station. Howev-
er, winding down the somewhat steep
descent from tho castle, one of the
horses lost his footing on the slippery
road and fell, and before the corteqe
was again en- route the up-train had
arrived and departed. The empress,
adhereing to the strict etiquette of
the court, nevertheless went on straight
TO the station, and was fain to accept
the hospitality of the station masters
parlOr, with the accompanying crea-
ture comforts indispensable even TO a
travelling sovereign on a cold afternoon
in an English winter. The empress,
they say, still remembers with salts
faction the homely meal and the COSY
fire at Windsor station she remem-
bers, also, the fact that the royal car
riage was not sent back to invite her
to return to the castle, and that no in
quiry was made by her royal sister as
to how she got over the little contre-
temps. Hence the very unmistakble
refusal to accept the invitation of the
coming nuptials from the h~igh-spirited
lady now hunting the fox at Summer.
hill, and taking captive the hearts and
freeing the tongues of the finest
peasantry in the world by the gra-
ciousness of her manner and the bold
ness of her equestrian feats on the

WHAT is COMING.
A SkiIlful Prophets Predictions for the
Year 1879.

POsitivisi CrOly in the New York Grsphic.l
|. The year 1879 will, on the whole,
be 8 prosperous one for the United
States. There will be a general revi-
val Of industry, labor will be en-
ployed, and confidence in the future
universally felt. Before the close of
the year there will be a widespread
interest in precious metal mining. A
dangerous speculative feeling in other
industries will soon show itself.
2 There will be a partial failure of
crops this year. Our hay crop on the
Atlantic slope will be short.
3. At least two important failures
OF Wall street magnates will take
place this year. They will be of per-
sons with whose names every one is
familiar.
4, An unsupported weakness in u
national banking system may be de-
veloped during the year.
B. The disproportion between our
exports and imports. such as we have
witnessed for the past two years. will
come to an end before 1881. Home
prices will go higher and foreign goods
be sold cheaper. We shall export less
and import more. Unless the unex-
pected occurs, there will be a drain Of
gold abroad, and then resumption, as
at present established, must be legis-
lated upon anew or it will fail.
s.. Should the country be prosper-
u and resumption stand until the
national conventions meet in 1880.
John Sherman will be the candidate
Of the Republican party for the Presi-
dency.
:. Resumption has not settled all
our financial difficulties. Questions
affecting the business interests of the
country will be tho subject of many
warm political contests. But the fnal
result will be the establishment of a
national bank similar to that Of Great
Britain or France, but probably called
by a different name. When that oe-
ours the secretary Of the treasury will
be stripped of much of the power he
now possesses.
S. A forced war, before many years
is over, is not improbable, due to the
weakness Of our navy and the unpro-
tected condition Of our rich seaport
cities.
.. A now pestilence, or the revival
Of an old one, which will affect the
people inhabiting the temperate zone.
is among the probabilities Of the near
future.
10. A new motor will soon be dis
covered which will mako air naviga-
ton possible.
