ARcHpuKE OTTO MALIeNED.

There is not word OF truth in the story now
being widely circulated in the newspapers on both
sides Of the Atlantic according TO which Archduke
Otto has again incurred the dspeasure Of his uncle
Emperor Francis Joseph, and been banished from
Austria for the remainder Of his life. The arch
duke who is still in precarious state Of health. is
spending the winter in Egypt. and few hours be-
fore leaving Vienna for the Land OF the Nile he en-
tertained the Emperor. his brother-in-law. Prince
John George OF Saxony, and a number of the arch
dukes and archduchesses Of the imperial house at
q big dinner at his palace in the Augarten. Otto
took leave of the aged monarch at the close Of the
banquet and then proceeded to the Southern Rail
road terminus accompanied by his consort his
children and many of his relatives. This, It would
seem should set at rest that have lately
been current about the archduke- For he would
certainly not nave been the object Of so many
demonstrations of affection and regard on the part
of the imperial family the other day. from the EN-
peror downward. had he been in disgrace.
