( [ Correspondence of Titr. HKT.I--Tho rldo of seventeen hours from Vonlco to Vienna Is long ntul would bo very tcdlcus but for the flno mountain scenery. In the summer or In warm weather thcro nro many plcatnnt resorts In the mountain * , and ono might tlnJ oneself well repixlJ by urcaklnp the Journey. The road rises to about 4,000 feet , nnd on oil sldoi the moun tains nro still higher. TUB siiowclnd moun tains , rushlnu rivers , the cataracts , lliuulnir , fulllnif , shlmtnorlni ; , snlashintf , maUo the scenery rcoro than Imposing ; It U subllmo Though the outside was bonutlful beyond word1) , the cars were hot nnd study , nnd not , clean , so we were very glad when wo rolled into the Vienna station and found ourselves ntnthst class hotel , where everything wai clean and all they gnvo you to eat and drink was pood. Vienna U n bonutlful city , very much llko Paris. The shops nro filled will- the loveliest and most rechereho articles of all kinds , the streets with well-dressed nioi and womoa who com to have nothing to do but promo- nndo up ana down the handsome King- it rasso , Kcnlal , nnd apparently very happy The onlcors , In their g.vy uniform , white , scarlet and cold , blue nnd gold in fact , their uniforms nrouvoryvarlotvot color-add billl- lanuy to the scone. The weather is rnmnrk- nblv good , and all Vienna scorns to bask in the sunshine lifter a rather cold , disagreeable winter. We have > con Iho city under the most pleasant auspice * . Colonel Grant , our genial nnd popular minutor.iuidhischurminK nnd beautiful wife , have been moro than kind nnd attentive , showing us the wonders end beauty of the place. MM. Grant is BO well informed on AuMrlu , past and present , that we hnvo boon peculiarly blo ea in hav ing her for cicerone. 1 am told that the Grants are most popular with the court circles and have boon enter tained In the most cordial way by the Austrian nobility , who nro the most exclu sive of nil In Kurope. Not only does Colonel Grant's name entitle him to rank with any of the ambiUBBdors la Vienna , but I venture to nay the beauty nnd intelligence of his wife Is equal If not superior to the ladies of the other embassies. Vienna is full of picture galleries and museums nnd ono might spend weeks thorn With profit nnd amusement. From tlio boll tower of Ht , Stephen's , the huge bell which wasnudo from cannon taken fromthcTurks , there Is a magnificent view of the battle- Holds of Wagr.ua and Essling. This church Is full of hnndsomo stained glass nndi wonder ful chnpols nnd monuments. Tho'crypt of the cathedral has been the burial place of the royal family for centuries that is , their bones" are buried in St. Stephen's , their hcnjrts in St. Augustine's and their bodies in tco Church of the Capuchins. In St. Augus tine's is the monument ot the Archduchess Christine , a masterpiece of Cauova. It is woitha visit to Vunina , and li the most beautiful monument 1 have seen yet. In the Church of the Capuchins is the collln of the son ot the grout , Nnpoloon Nupolcoa II. , that poor , ill-fated young man , who , had ho Hvcdralght , have changoatho facoof Europe , ns his father did. In another place wo saw the silver cradle that was presented to him by the clllzons of Paris. Hubons and both of the Tenters are well * represented in the museum , but in tlio pri vate gnllorios are some of the masterpieces of Ruphnol.GuiuoTitian , Correggio , Domea- ichino , Van Dvck ana some flue specimens of sculpture by Thorwnldson and Canova. In the place where the theater was destroyed by 11 ro some years ago the government has built a handsome block of buildings , the rent ot which Is given to the holrs of these who were lost In that frightful catastrophe. \Va were told thcio had boon much suffer ing thl" winter among the poor In Vienna. Wo saw every morning about 7 o'clock wo men with baskets of all sizes and conditions ( tbo baskets , not the women ) going into n building opposite our hotel , nnd on inquiring found It was wboro they received bread and soup , and there are many places of the same ,11kind. Vienna Is full of the memories of Maria Theresa , who seems to have been the Aus trian Washington. Her pictures or statues are everywhere , as are also these of her son Joseph II , who is ono of tha loveliest royal characters wo toad of. But Vienna has lost innstof its historic und medieval attraction , It is a well built modern city , of which wo have the very host in America , and in Eu rope wo pro for Iho old castles , moats and ruins. Prague , with its quaint architoctuie , its turrets , spires and domes giving it quito an oriental appearance , travo mo moro pleasure. On top of a high hill is n largo palace for merly the residence of the Uohemlnn kings , and behind it ilsos a higher hill , whcro It , is bald ttie pagans used formerly to celebrate the riles of ilro worsnip. On this hill stands the cathedral where Iho emperors of Austria are crowned kings of IJoIiemiu. This church is full of curiosities. Over the high altar is n picture of Iho Virgin , nu oxquisltu work of art. The rolbs said to bo In this cathedral nro marvelous thorns from the Saviour's crown , the pocket , handkerchief of his mother , some of the bones of AbrahamIsaac , and Joseph. There is another church , where the bodies of the protostaat loaucrs are buried. They had been stuck up on the great tower of the bridge. It was hero the celebrated John IIus3 was born , the fon'runnrr of Luther in the Prot estant religion. In the museum you nro shown the autograph challenge of Huss , challenging all comers to dispute with him his article ; of faith. Ho was condemned as a hcrollo by the pope , but , protected by the Ulnir of Bohemia , but was aftoi wards tried , condemned and burned at Constancn by the order of Emperor Slglsmmid , and his asho'i thrown Into the Rhine. This was the cause of the Hu > slta war. of which John Trocznow was the leader. Ho is the wiirrlor who loft In his will orders for his skin to be nmdo into U drum to frighten his enemies. The river Moldau is crossed hero by n wonderful stone bridge , 1.81) " foot In length , ornamented on each side by twontv-eight ( tallies of saints nnd has lofty and Imposing lowers at each end , In the center of the bridge Is a bronzostatuo of St. John Nopo- inuk , who was dtovnod in the Molduu , because - cause ho would notdlvulgo to the king the recrcts tlio queen had Intrusted to him in the confessional. In the cathedral the body of the saint is incased In a crystal coftln and over It u gorgeous Mlvor shrine , nround which silver lamps are constantly burning , The Jews scttlvu in Prague at a very early llato and have Ion or twelve synagogues DUO of them said to lie MHJ year * old. 1'Vom Vionmt to Pinguo wo passed very near Austorhtz , and through the place tvhero Nitpolcon Is said to have matibcd his Iroops before tbo battlo. Instead of taking the train from Prague to Dresden , wo took n stearrer tnat goes down Iho Elbe , from Pruguo to Ausslg , and we were richly repaid. The scenery is en chanting , and ono sees su much moro , ami to tn advantage , from the dock of a steamer than from a car window , There 1s a rail road on each side of the river , and a canal Mso , All nlong the bank * were towns , vil lages , farms and castles , besides many ruined catties the most extensive that of Bchrechensti < Inownod by Pnnco LoblcowlU , It wa4 destroyed by the ( Hussites In H'Ji ) . From Ausslg you take a train to Carlsbad and other ( icramn < pas. liohomla Is full of .Ihoni. Divsdi-n liis been more of n disappoint ment to ma than any city 1 have HUCU so far In Euiopo. It ls ho essentially modern. In building the new city they have torn down almost nil the old landmarks. Now and then you sco a bltof the old Saxony in some narrow street , or a part of an old palace. Dut then they have a monument erected for never having1 had tbo cholera ) The pio- lures , however , nro not a disappointment. The yutino Madonna , whoso tender and icrono face wo tmvo mot with In so many hundreds or copies , fs worth the ( rip acrotB the ocean , nnd "La Noltu" of Ccrropglo , Is of such exquisite loveliness , the face of thu Madonna so full of simplicity and loveliness , the beautiful light bulbing mother and child with silver gleams , makes Jbplcture that ouo keeps forever in the soul a thine of such beauty being R Joy forever , And the beautiful Chocolate Girl 1 What an Insipid Idea wo get of her from the ndvcr- tliomentB In the magazines , anil what n shomo to have allowed the cxqul Ito portrait trait to have been RO misused' If she were half so beautiful as her portrait , she was worthy to marry n prince. Of the many statues In Dresden , the ono of Augustus Iho Strong , In front of the X.wlngor , Is the best. Ho seems to have been the monarch who did most for Saxony , rais ing It to n first class powcr.nnd was so stronir ho could break a horscshoo. or lift n horse with Its rider. The "groen vaults , " which contain ono of the rarest collections of Jewels , curiosities nnd objots iV art , Is closed at present. Two years ace n collection was taken all over Saxony for a present to the klnc , nnd ho Is devoting It to repairing this wonderful museum. The Historical museum contains ttio most wonn > rful collection ot armor "for man nnd benst , " nnd n collection of weapons from tunny centuries , a Turkish tent of the Grand Vllcr Kara Muslnpha , captured In the siege of Vlonnn by John Sobloskl In KiS3. His ro.-U of mall Is here , nlso the boots worn by Napoleon lit the battle of Dresden nnd the shoes worn nt his coronation. In this museum Is the finest collection of porcelain In oxl t- once , specimens of Chinese. Japanese , In dian , Italian , Dresd 'n and French , from the twelfth century to the present tltno. Llko all cities wo have scon In Europe , there are many buildings for soldlcri nnd wo sco them on ail sides. So far the Aus trian soldiers are the finest looktnr , largo , commanding and graceful. Dresden used to bo ono of the cheapest places in Eutopo to live , but the great Inllux of Americans nnd Encllsh has raised the prices , It is still a very much sought after ilaco on account of its healthy und bracing climate , its educational advantages , its line opera and its rich collection of works of art And thu climate In summer Is said to be as good ns in wlutor. Certainly we have found the nouses comfortable. They nro well heated and the huge stove in our room looks llko n sarcoplingui , but ono bucket of rual keeps us warm twenty-four hours. Ono hears almost as much English spoken on the at roots In Dresden as Uerman , Tbo women work vary hard hmo. 'Wo see con- fitiutly n woman and do , ; harnessed together , pulling u wagon , and I always foci the most sorry for the dog. The poor doggie cannot help himself , the woman might rebel.

The banker to whom wo applied for the address sent us to the chief of police. In ten minutes ho hud glvon us the address nnd n minute description of the lady. The country between Dresden and Dorlln IB very unlmprcssing low , Hat and with only modern loaning towns. Berlin Is a beautiful city with ono of the finest historical museums in the world , a flno gallery of ancient and modern paintings and some of the most magulllcont bronze statutes In the woild. The colossal equestrian stutuo of Frederick the Great Is exceedingly fino. The pedestal Is tw * nty-llvo feet high. A bronze group of the leading statesmen nnd generals of the Thirty Years' war , life size , covers the pedestaland on the corners above are Iho statues of tompartinco , fortitude , prudence ana Justice ; between these ba > re- llovos , representing the life of the great king. On the Brandenburg gate Is n car of vic tory sold to hove been tauon to Paris by Na poleon and brought back after Iho battle of Waterloo. What an old thlof ho socms to have bncn. There Is hardly a town in Italy nr Germany , wo are not shown something that bo took , that had afterwards to bo re turned. Ho aim that other old thief Fred erick Barbarossa camu very nour stripping Italy. In front of the museum is the largest vasu of polished granite in the worU. It Is sixty- eight feel in circumference. The stone was floated down the river spree from Fuersten- woldo and was polished by steam engines , and is truly a beautiful work. Though the picture gallery may not quito equal that of Dresden or Florence , ills full of flno specimens of the Italian , French , Span ish and Flemish schools und the collection of Egyptian antiquities is the most complete iu the world. While wo were at the royal palace the major douio. who look an Interest In us be cause wo were Americans and told him in his own lingo how much wo admired his Kaiser , gave us the opportunity of seeing all the royal familv , haby prince , middle prince , Grandmamma lCnl erln Frederick and all. In other words , ho told us if we would romam a few minutes in the court , wo would HOC them all start tor their drive , which they uid , and a moro luguorlous looking lot I have seldom scon. Tboro was not a whole smllo in the whole party. Later in the day wo saw the emperor and empress. Ho hau just returned from bis hunting expedition , where ho had been to work off his Ire , caused by his ministers. Ho was dressed in n dark green mantle and Tyrolese hat , looked handsome , young and strong , and ono could but wnti him success. "Untor-den-Lmaen" was lined with people from the station to the royal palace , but tboro was no demonstration. The men took oil their hats and , the women bowed. The empress of all the Germans ha ? not that sweet und gracious bow nnd smile with which the queen of Italy blesses her sub jects. Thuro does uot seem to bo so much of "that dignity that doth hedge a klni ? " about this young emperor or his palaco. Ho rides around or walks among bis subjects and crowds llocK into the courts and show rooms or the palace , even the poorest and humblest. Thcro seems to bs a war cloud , no biggir thnu the czar's hand , hovering over Europe. Russia Is massing her troops on the frontier. Germany is hurrvlng up her railroid build- InL' , poor HtUo Italy Is drilling her troops daily nnd America is massing her ships. Franco Is quarreling with her clergy and England Is waiting. M. D. Cnooic. Toklou City nl rirvtrnps , The nig lire at Toldowhich destroyed C)00 ( ) hoiibcs , was ono of thoao periodi cally recurring calamities to which all Jnpiinnso cities are subject , says thu S.iii Fntncibco Chronicle. The destroyed structures were no doubt of so Iliinsy a nature us to hardly deserve tlio namoof house , though they served to shelter many human beings. Although the Japanese have shown their ability to construct solid structures , laolc of m'oans or inclination prevents the masses from housing thonibolvos in anything more substantial than an Indian wickiup , though decidedly moro artistic. After the recent destructive earthquake an Englishman , writing in ono of the for eign papers , expressed the four that the olToct of the calamity would ho to repress ' the tendency which'had recently exhib ited itself to build of less destructlblo materials , but it is probable that the Buffering and loss occasioned by thlslat- eat conlliigration will moro than coun- turbalanoo the fear which the seismic disturbance inspired and induce tlio Japanese to thin It that the danger from earthquake to well built houses is less menacing than that from flro in a city of etlckti and paper.

The Senate military committee , through Senator MandoYsoti , reported ngulnsl the claim of Sergeant Thomas O. Hiiflor of Kansas for a , lump sum of 910,009 as a reward for special borvlccs rendered during the war. The commit tee took the hltjh ground lliut claims made thirty years after the alleged ser vices were rendered , and after all per sonally acquainted with filch services were dead , were open to suspicion , and that congres was not justillod in con sidering demands delayed so long that proof of their \vcrth was not obtainable. The special service rendered by liar- tor , as now related , consisted of going into the enemy's camp in the dark days of 1802 and securing valuable Informa tion that frustrated tin attack on Wash ington. Hartcr unlisted at Terre Haute , Intl. , in April , 1801 , joining Company I , First Indiana cavalry , which was sent to West , Virginia and acted asn. bodyguard for Kosoncranz , Fremont and Siogcl suc cessively. On July 20 , 1802 , Har- tor , whoso daring was known , was sent for by Siogol and asked to undertake to get into Richmond mend and report what the enemy was doing. The trip was fraught with great danger , and after consiuoting it aivl evolving plans for a night , ho agreed to try. Being a locomotive engineer by trade and knowing the scarcity of engi neers in the south , Hnrtor determined to apply for n position on lines loading to Richmond. AtHonoyvillo , Vn. , forty miles from his starting point , Ilartor was betrayed into the hands of AshbyV cavalry. Ho was treated as a , spy , but made a strong play on the engineer racket , claiminc that be was a southern sympathizer from the north in search of n job. After much scrutiny and catechizing Ilurtor reached Richmond under arrest , with orders to report to General Win- dor. Ho ingratiated himself into the confidence of the Inttor und was allowed to roam the city at will , reporting to headquarters every morning. The suc ceeding events Ilartor himself relates as follows : "At last Superintendent Whitcomb informed me that ho wanted me to go to Charleston and take a train. General Winder could give mo a pass only for Richmond , and without a pas.s I couldn't get out. But ho gave mo nn order for a pass on the Confederate War depart ment , and it was granted right oil. It is dated August lo , 18U2 , and is now on llle in tlio War department with many other papers. 'Tho crtiin on wliii-h I traveled was one of a number that wore hurrying largo forces of confederate iroops to the front. A whole regiment was aboard. As I entered the only coach attached to the train I found it occupied by a dis tinguished body of men. In tiio party were Jell' Davis. Generals Leo , Steno- w.ill Jackson , Early. Longbtreet , D. II. and A. R Hill ami General Tolllvnr. Of course I said nothing , but as I sit alone in my seat and watched them I won dered what my fate would bo if these men could road my mind and guess my purpose. When wo reached Gor- donsvillo I learned that the whole rebel army was con centrated thoro. I was now sure that a move of the utmost impoi- tanco was in contemplation , and that if I could inako my dicapo to our lines I could give information that might change the whole course of the war. Wo came to a stop at Gordonsvillo. D.ivis unU the confederate generals and statesmen got elY and took up their hoadquartois in the town , and I couldn't proceed. " 1 began to debate what to do next iu order to effect my purpose , and after considerable relict tlun Iwont 10 A. P. Hill and told him I wanted to become a spy , showed him my p.iss and told bun my story , and succeeded In winning his contidonco. The upshot of the interview was that ho told mo to remain with his headquarters' ambulances and the day following ho would furnish mo a horso. Orders wore given for a gen eral forward movement , and all that day I rode with the ambulances , which , by the way were all marked 'U. S. , ' having been captured from McClollan , In this way ws reached Raccoon Ford. 1 had seen Grant's army , but this army com manded by Leo seems to mo , even now , to have been the largest and best equipped army I ever saw. "My judgment inalt-iuhlng myself to General Hill's division viw Bound , n it proved , for the very next day nflor ho Imd accepted my offer of service as a scout and alt iched mo tn Ills Hoadquar- totH awaiting orders , whllu apparently ns cop under an ambulance wngon , near General Hill's tent , I overheard a coun cil of war and got the details of a plan of operation about to be put into olToct. There were present at this council Generals Longatroot , Hill , .lacksoii , Leo , and Toll Ivor. As I listened to tholrcan- vorsntion I tliouirht surely that the boating of niv heart would betray mo , for the very first statement I hoard was that only I'opo's army was hutwoon them and \ \ ushington and they w ore con fident with their 100,000 men Jnoarnp , since I'opo had but 00,000 , of defeating him and capturing Washlngtoif , "This was August 17 Sunday. Forty- eight bouts' rations were iqsfuod on thin day. Leo confidently oxpeutud to sur prise the union army , drive it oil the Held and draw hit ) next rations from the commislary department at Washing ton. For thirty-six hours not even a camp fire was builtfor fonr their where abouts would bo made known to I'opo , whoso army was only fivu miles distant. "On Sunday night Lee put out signal corps nil along the mountain range run ning parallel with the river , which were reported to General I'opo early Monday morning ; and not ' understanding it , ho ordered a troop o'f cavalry to roconnol- tor and capture n 8lito:1. ! General Jnckpoh 1mm dl.ttal.v ordered a compa ny of volttnti't" stto go out nnd intercept this cavalry raid and capture the troop , intending that not n man should get over the river again to toll the story to 1'opc. Perhaps a hun dred men formed Into rank , and a do/on othorn trallod behind to do hospital duty. A courier came dashing into camp with tli morning papers from Richmond. Securing one of those of that morning's Uauo , ! went along with the squad that carried stretcher ! ? . Not live minute * olnpned before I saw my chance , and , dai ting through ravines nnd the brush , I reached the river , jumped in and swam across. "Not over 200 ytmls from the opposite shore I found a * Pennsylvania cavalry company on picket , I nsko.l the captain to give me a horse and guide to head- quarteis immediately , for an attack might momentarily bo expected. My uppoarnnconnd story must luivo carried conviction , for ho obeyed my request. As luck would have It , on the way I passed General IJuford's headquarter * , with whom I wn3 well acquainted I told Huford the story as fast as 1 could talk. Ho gave mo one of his or derlies' horses , which was standing right there , sent the picket back to tho. nvor , and ii just llfty-llvo minutes from the time I left Leo's headquarters 1 jumped olT that horsoin front of General Pope's. I found a council of ofllcors in progress. They evidently thought Bomjlhlng was wrong , but did not know what. "I told General Pope that Loo's plan was to send a force iioross the river several miles above Raccoon Ford to make an attack , regardless of cense quences. Pope's attention being dis tracted the nviin body of the confederate force was to cross in ills rear at Raccoon Ford. "Pope said to mo : 'I did not know that there \\a < an armed rebel nearer than Gordonsville. ' Sending imiucdlato orders to General Sigol , who would bo the fir = t attacked , according to my re port , ho commenced preparations to rn- treat , furthering them by burning his supplies , and , 1 have since heard , bplkcd his biggest guns and started for the U'lp.wlmmioek river , twenty-five mill's away. The rebels fol lowed us to closely that wo had a running light , Sigel bringing up the rear guard. This com mand Being the hist to cross the river , ho oidored his men to push th i boiuds off into the river and not the bridge on flro. Having seen the superior force of the rebel army , 1 thought surely wo would bo annihilated , but that bridge at the Rapmihannock stopped them. Thus it proved that they did not got their next rations from' Washington , as I hoard predicted under that ambulance tlio day before. "Whon General Sigol saw mo he was delighted , nnil made mo como In and drink with himand over since then he has regularly sailt mo a Christmas pres ent. ' ' Tin- National Liicaiiipniciit. The Washington committee on the Grand Army of the Republic encamp ment , p.irado and review has informa tion at hand wbicli lends it to believe that there will not be loss than 00,000 old soldiers in line , making the parade larger than any in the history of the organization , and possibly in the his tory of the country in time of pfaco. The committee hns decided that none but Grand Army of the Republic men and those organisations designated , or to ho designated , by the commundor-in- chief shall bo permitted to participate in the parade. In regard to the request made to con gress fur an appropriation of $100,000 to help defray the expenses of bho encamp ment , the prospects are not favorable for its passage in the house. The semite bill provided that one-half the sura betaken taken from the national treasury , the remainder from the district treasury. The house appears determined that whatever biim , if any , is appropriated , must como out of the District treasury and refunded by the taxpayers. Wash ington people are sore over the action of Lincoln posts in sending a delegation to the national capital to protosi against the bill. The Washington Star says : "Washington is not asking aid from the nation on account , of i's love for the veterans or aid from anybody on any account. It calls upon its legislature to determine whether" it agrees with the legislatures of half ado/on other cities .vliieh have decided that an encamp ment appropriation is a proper in inicipil axpondUuro , and if thatouos- tion is decided in the allirma- tive it calls upon its legisl ilitre to make the necessary appropriation precisely us other municipal appropria tions are made , exempting no one who is now a local taxpayer under the law. Tlio so called national appropriation in volved is not , as intimated by the Lin- co'n ' resolutions , money that might bo expended in pensions if not devoted to this mirnoao. It is money sot apart by the law for tlio municipal purposes of' the capital , and if it is not spent upon the encampment it will meet some of the material ncodt > of the city in the bhapo of streets , sewers or or-rhapo anew now municiptl bui'ding. ' It is to bo hoped that Lincoln's action is based more upon ignorance than malice , and that when the situation is undotstood it will withdraw from a position which is discreditable to it and unjust to the national capital.
