Then comes the Prince of Wales, who smiles and bows, especially as his ears catch the lusty home cheer from the British group. Following his royal brother are, Prince Arthur, bis fine blue eyes beaming with pleasure; the members of the imperial family, and the great officers of state and the household in gorgeous array, with fringed flunkeys trailing after them. They move on to the dais, where, in a pleased, smiling group, they form a marvelous combina tion of light, jewels, laces, and superb cos tumes. All rise as the imperial party as cend the steps, cheer follows cheer, and then the whole multitude is still. Tbe quiet continues while the Emperor turns from side to side making a grave, serious bow, and the music changes into Handel’s grand anthem, exquisitely rendered. Then there is another rock and surge of the crowd right Into the imperial quarter- It is with the utmost difficulty that order is preserved, even within the sacred lim its. The music lulls, and the opening ad dress is made to the Emperor. It is clear ly spoken in a few gentle phrases, but no one hears it. Then follow the responses, music by the splendid orchestra, giving in turn the national airs of every country the grand imperial promenade, and the sensation is finished. The English correspondent, Mr. Yates, thus contrasts THE people’s PARK OF VIENNA with the Central Park, £Tew York ; Compared with the Pra ter is less picturesque, al though pleasantly diversified by wood ami meadow—just now, It is true, beauti fully fresh and green. The Bois de Bo logne is likewise more pictures.que’, but the Prater avenue is a finer drive. With Berlin Thiergarten there are few points of comparison. The Thiergarten is a large forest, a solitude just outside of the Linden and the Brandenburg gate, that can be reach from the center of the city within five minutes, while the Plater combines bath forest and meadow, but lacks the quiet majesty that is connected with the Tniergarten. True, the Thier garten has nothing better than the muddy Spree in the shape of a river, but the Prater is washed by the “beautiful blue Danube,” which, by the way, is gray or lead color, I hardly sknow which. The park is selected on all occasions by the Viennese for their great festivals. THE EXPOSITION GROUNDS. The exposition building stands in a large enclosed space of the Prater, five times as large as the Camp de Mars, on which the Paris lexposition stood. On the space from the entrance to the build ing six fountains send large jets of water. Tastefully arranged lawns and flower OPTUE EMPEROR. erot. walks with hesitation, ,Jr i' : ■ . ’ ■ ' beds greet the eye. To the left is a long row of low buildings connected with the director general’s bureau; to the right a similar row, for the police, &c. To the left further west, the jury pavilion; to the right is the beautiful imperial pavil ion. Wherever the eye is directed are pa* villons and ornamental structures. Wan dering amid the trees of the spacious grounds one is met by constant surprises. We enter a veritable fairy land, although it must be admitted that imagination has to complete some of the instfpctures, even though it is the first of May. Fantasti cally variegated structures, with cupolas and minarets, take us in spirit to the Ori ent, and to the hieroglyphic enchantment of the Nile, to the peasant huts of Alsace and Lorraine, to the plains of Hungary, to the steppes of Russia and to the school houses and wigwams of America. AH people and religions can find their pla ces of worship in this Prater world. A Greek chapel, a Buddhist temple, a Ro manian church and the Turkish minaret, may ail invite the faithful to prayer be fore entering the sanctuary of industry and art. YATES CORRECTS TATES. la my description of President Grant’s inauguration for the Herald I painted glowingly the festive appearance present ed by European capitals on gala days. Any one who bad read that picture, and y?ho happened to be present here to-day, would have thought my real name was Ananias. The houses of Vienna are bare as robbing. There are no flags on the roof tops or across the streets, no Veni tian masts with flying streamers* no drap ed balconies, aqd no triumphal arch until we have reached the south or main en trance of the exposition building. POLITICAL GOSSIP. STATE CONVENTION. The Republican State Convention Com mittee has decided that the next conven tion shall be held August 13, at Harris burg. Two months will be ample time Commonwealth the reasons should support the Republican nominees, and if the Democratic journalists cannot in that period expose all the corruption that each candidate possesses they should not attempt the job. The candidates to be selected are gentlemen who can prop erly fill the positions of Judge of the Supreme Court and State Treasurer, and already several persons have been named for the first, although it seems to be un derstood that Judge Paxson ot this city will be the choice. The friends of Judge Butler, of Chester, and those of other gen tlemen in the State equally deserving are laboring to secure the elevation of their respective favorites, but we shall be much mistaken if our own worthy member of the judiciary is not chosen. As for State Treasurer nobody yet is spoken of in con nection with the position except the pres ent incumbent, Mr. Mackey, who has given unqualified satisfaction, save to a few disgusted individuals who could not use him for their own pecuniary advan tage. THE JCDICIAKY, It is generally understood that Hon. Edward M. Paxson, of the Court of Com* mon Pleas, will receive the nomination for the Supreme Bench, in which case-a prominent and eligible candidate for the position vacated by Judge Paxson will be found in the person of John Dolman, Esq., one of the most successful and careful members of the bar of Philadelphia. It will be remembered that Mr. Dolman ran for District Judge last fall, receiving about 11,000 votes for the nomination, being second only to Mr. Briggs, who was subsequently chosen Judge. In ap pointing Mr. Dolman the Governor can not fail to keep up thereby the high char, acler of the Court for integrity, wisdom, and judicial fairness. Delegate Temple, of the C institution al Convention, asserts positively that he did nBt refer to Judge Ludlow in his re cent remarks upon the Judiciary. So far as we are concerned, we never thought he did, and that thought is proved to be correct by the fact that he will not deny that his reference was to Judge Paxson. Mr Temple has a huge work on hand— that of cleansing and purifying the Demo cratic party, but he will find his labors immeasurably increased if be attempts to villify Republican Judges, either because they are Republicans, or because one or the other of them may have given a de cision which has been unpalatable to him. The Democrats cannot yet make up and Colfax were the only ones who seem their minds as to the best course to pur- | ed touched to the quick by the sense of sue during the coming cimpaign. None I disgrace. The rest brazened it out as they of their number have yet thought it pro- j have the supplementary action—the back, per to announce themselves as candidates • pay grab, DENIES IT UNCERTAIN NUMBER 19 fur positions which they know it is impos sible for them to secure, and the impres sion is, that whatever rulesmay be adopt ed, the party wil|| quietly fall in when the so-called Reformers- blow their bugle blast, and after securing nil the. nomina tions they can upon the ticket, will poll their votesolid with the individuals who luxuriate on Chestnut street, below Six teenth. " GOING SOCTHit The appointment of Stale "Senator W®. A. Wallace to the Vice Presidency of the Southern Pacific Bulroad Conapany is one which cannot fail to- be of advantage to the enterprise. Although we have al ways been opposed to him politically, we have never failed to recognize- his legal ability and personal qualifications, and while we do not regret that we- lose such aa active Democrat from the Staje, we do regret that the Commonwealth will be deprived of such an intelligent citizen. don’t beljlbve hem. Republican voters must be careful how they swallow rumors that such and such a candidate has withdrawn: from the field • There is scarcely a day passes that wfe do not hear that so and so has decided' not to run, and yet, in every instance, wo subsequently ascertain that the report baa been placed in escalation simply to tem porarily advance tbe interests of some cue else. ASPIRANiS. Mr. A. A. Hauke’s friends are laboring indefatigably for tbe man of their choice, and everj Republican of the Eleventh Legislative district is by this time aware that be desires to go to Harrisbnrg next winter. Mr. Hauke is engaged in mer cantile pursuits, and although a hard working member of the party has never received official recognition. Mr. Charles W. Shuff.of the Fifth ward, is a candidate for Assessor under the new law. Mr. Shuff is president of the Nation al Union Republican Club, and a member of the Ward Executive Committee, and is endorsed by the leading men of the Re publican party. He is eminently qualified The friends of Samuel Davis, Esq , are urging him for Common Council in the Fourteenth ward. Mr. Davis is a young Republican of the ward, of considerable ability, and his friends claim that be.wi'l receive the nomination, which-is eqiy-va lent to an election. Harry Hahn, Esq , of the Fifteenth ward, is ■ announced as a candidate f*r Senatorial delegate to the State (jonvea tion for the Second Senatorial district, composed of the Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Twenty Ninth wards. Mr. George Handy Smi'th. the present Representative from the First district, will be a candidate for renomination, and claims that ’his constituents are so well pleased with his course last winter that they him back. * Mr. Josephus Yeakel, Sentinel, an accomplished gentleman and earnest Republican, will be a candidate for tire Legislature in the Sixteenth dis trict. If chosen, he will be a satisfactory legislator. Ex Representative Cooper, of Delaware county, will probably be nominated for State Senator. He is in every way quali fied for the post, as he has abundantly proved. Among the gentlemen spoken of in connection with the Judgeship of the Court of C )ramon Pleas in case there is a vacancy in the fall, are Mr. Dolman, Wm. J. McElroy, Samuel C. Perkins and D W. O’Brien. —Philadelphia Sunday Re public.. Hon. James Brooks The Pittsburgh Commercial says; Tne death of linn. James Brooks-is announc ed. He had been in delicate health for some time and the nervous anxiety occa sioned by the Credit Mobilier investiga tions undoubtedly aggravated his malady. He exhibited a sensitiveness in regard! to that transaction which might have been imitated by other parties at least equally implicated with himself, but the ordinary politician is made of course clay, and Mr. Brooks was no ordinary politician. He was a man of rare information, a clear i \ thinker, fine writer and elegant speaker. He was the leader of the Democratic par ty in Congress and commanded respect no less by the vigor which he always dis played, but by th'e courtesy which he uni : formly exhibited in debate. lie has died \ at the age of sixty-three, and the recollec -1 lion of the causes which embittered his , last days will excite a feeling of sympathy ! for his memory. Of all the men connect | ed with the scandals recently agitated, be
