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

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.

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

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. I gut
so exispurated scclnc them Ruovollng coal ,
cleaning streets and carrying such huge
packs on their backs I It Is not surprising
theroshould bo so many hunchbacks and de
formed children ,
Foreigner * are under wonderful surveill
ance In Germany.Vo wished to Und a lady
friend In Dros'don , whoso address wo had
lost. 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

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.

Tlio MUM Who Su\uit Washington.
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

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. "
