INTRODUCTION.
This book has no pretension to enter the lists as a rival or opposition to
Appleton, Murray or Baedeker, the well-known Continental Guide-Books.
Its object is to be the handy guide and companion of practical information for
the Tourist en route or on his arrival. Once settled at his place of destination,
he will have access to fuller guides and descriptions to supplement the mere
indications given in this Avork.
It was formerly thought necessary to give copious directions to travellers
for their journey, when travelling was slow, difficult and occasional ; but
now that rapidity, ease and frequency are in the ascendant, a few hints will
suffice.
First in importance to the traveller is money. A sufficient provision in
any currency, or of any character, is easily convertible into current coin in
any state, city or town on the continent of Europe, through bankers, money-
changers and the proprietors of hotels, who will readily take and exchange
moneys of almost any country.
The American traveller has usually his letters of credit, which speak for
themselves ; otherwise, French gold or English bank-notes are the best
money to take into Germany. The former circulates freely everywhere. A
very little attention to the money-table of this volume will make the traveller
quite master of the subject. Perhaps nowhere in Europe does money and ex-
change vary more than at Vienna, where the fluctuations are frequent, rapid
and great.
Passports used to be the great nuisance and subject of grief to the traveller.
Now they are seldom asked for, but they are frequently useful to prove iden-
tity, to claim letters, and even to obtain admittance of favor to places out of
the usual course. They cost little, occupy little space, and therefore had bet-
ter be had.
Difference of language is not as much an obstacle now as formerly. In
North Germany, on the Rhine, and in the beaten track of tourists, English
and French are almost universally spoken by waiters, attendants and servants,
at hotels, cafes and restaurants — at Vienna not so much so. The upper
classes are excellent linguists, and nearly all speak English with fluency and
purity. In the commercial world French is more generally known ; but at
many of the places of entertainment, restaurants, cafes, &c., only German
waiters are to be met with. At the principal hotels, one or more of the wait-
ii Introduction.
ers always, and the hall porter generally, speak English as well as French.
The trayeller, however, with a knowledge of German, is of course more inde-
pendent than he who is obliged to have recourse to an interpreter.
The hotels in Germany have immensely improved of late years, and, except
those of Switzerland, are the best in Europe. Those mentioned in this Guide
may be relied on, and where a recommendation is given, in exceptional cases,
it is from well tried merit, the author in the selection having been guided by
his personal experience.
At the large hotels a private sitting-room, except in case of a family, is not
necessary, the bed-rooms being fitted for sitting-rooms as well. They are well
furnished, and the attendance good — the waiters being often, by education, gen-
tlemen.
Of this the writer had a striking proof, on coming down one morning to an
early breakfast in the coffee-room of a large German hotel, by overhearing a
conversation between two well-dressed young men on a concert of the pre-
vious day. The criticisms were in good taste, and evinced a perfect know-
ledge of music and a delicate appreciation of poetry. The genius of Shakespeare
and Schiller were next made subject of discussion, and both parties showed a
cultivated taste in their arguments. The conversation was most pleasant and
instructive, yet the parties themselves were waiters, and two of the most atten-
tive in the establishment. They thus serve their apprenticeship before becom-
ing proprietors themselves ; and a hotel proprietor in Germany takes rank
with the best commercial men of the place.
It will contribute much to the comfort of the traveller if he will as much as
possible conform to the habits and customs of the country he visits as to hours
and meals. At Vienna, for instance, everybody (except at state or fashion-
able parties) dines between 12 and 2 ; and at present there is only one table
d^hote amongst all the hotels; between 2 and 8, therefore, visitors must put
up with scant or indifferent fare. Even suppers are early — generally about 9
o'clock ; so that in fact the early dinner may pass for luncheon, and the sup-
per for a late dinner. At hotels on the road there are sometimes two tables
d^hote—one at 12 or 1, and a later one for tourists — the first being the best,
and the last the dearest.
Railroads now intersect Germany in every direction. The carriages are
roomy and good, the second class being quite as good as those of first class in
England or France ; and a journey through Germany is now a matter of easy
comfort. The through trains from London and Paris to Vienna, are fast and
well organized, and afford the best means of conveyance for such as have only
Vienna for their object ; but the traveller with time, taste and money, will do
well to break his journey at some of the most interesting places and cities* on
the way. Heavy luggage should be sent on direct, the traveller only keeping
such as is necessary for his daily use. The greatest bore in travelling is un-
necessary luggage. One good-sized portmanteau is better than several small
packages j a distinguishing mark should be adopted, and, as mistakes with
luggage are almost the rule instead of the exception in Germany, it will be
Introduction. iii
prudent to have name and destination in a legible hand on a label as well.
Lost luggage is generally found, but its temporary loss subjects the traveller
to detention sometimes at inconvenient places. A thoroughly independent
traveller, in the summer months, is one who takes a light valise only, which
will go under the seat of the carriage.
In 1870, the writer had a three months' tour through Northern and South-
ern Germany, visiting the principal cities of both. His luggage consisted of
a valise not weighing 30 lbs., which contained all that was necessary from
first to last. He had neither rug, overcoat, waterproof or umbrella — he never
felt the want of either. At arrivals and departures he was independent of
porters, cabs and omnibuses, and he saved 5/. in money, and probably several
days of time, and was spared discussions, anxieties and disputes.
In most respects travelling is now so easy, that children are sent on long
journeys across the continent, through different States, with little or no
difficulty.
An abundant stock of good humor — a pleasant smile, and the offer of a
cigar — will often remove apparently insurmountable difficulties that money
would not overcome.
The American Consular Establishment is so diffuse and Avell organized,
that the citizen of the United States will seldom be far distant from such assist-
ance or relief as he may require.
Good Guide Books will be found a convenience. The restricted limits
of this guide must necessarily contract its compass in the way of descriptions,
and leave the traveller to seek in other works what fuller or other details he
may require. The best guide books to Southern Germany are Appleton's
European Guide Book, 2 vols. ; Murray's Hand Book to Southern Germany
(London, 1873), price 12.s., a very excellent and exhaustive guide, compiled
with the greatest care — valuable as a travelling companion, and invaluable as
a library book of reference afterwards ; Baedeker's Southern Germany and
Austria (Coblenz), 1871, 5s., more condensed than the former, but very
good — it is published in three languages, German, Erench and English, and
is of a more cosmopolitan character than Murray's, which is especially suit-
able for English tastes and requirements.
Cox^s House of Austria, 3 vols., is not a guide book of places, in one sense
of the word, but gives most graphic accounts of interesting facts and details in
connection with the history of Germany and Austria, and will enable the trav-
'eller to appreciate better the historical references to past events so frequently
met with in buildings, galleries, &c. The visitor will therefore do well to
read up in this work for the knowledge he may be deficient in with regard to
the history of especial localities.
The citizen of the United States, as a rule, will land at Cork, Liverpool,
Southampton or Havre. The following routes are sketched, from the several
points indicated ; but as great changes are contemplated on the different
lines, with a view to facilitate the traffic with Vienna, the traveller is recom-
mended on leaving to provide himself with a local time-table, or test by in-

NOTIFICATION TO TRAVELLERS.
American citizens visiting the Austrian Capital for the first time will meet
with every attention and obtain every information on all subjects connected
with routes, residents or customs that may be useful to render their visit agree-
able and profitable, from Mr. De Bernardy, the American and Continental
Agent at Vienna. Letters addressed to that gentleman will have prompt at-
tention.

The traveller from Dublin has
choice of four routes to England as
follows : —
]|st. Kingstown (by rail from West-
land Bow at 6.15 A. M. and 6,45 p.m.)
to Holyhead, 3^ hours, by the City of
Dublin— Holyhead — Liver'pool.
Dublin mail steamers, magnificent
vessels of 2000 tons each, morning at
6.45, evening 7.15 ; fares 12s. and 8s.
2d. Dublin (North Wall) to Holy-
head, 5j hours, at hours according to
tide ; fare 5s. 'od. and 3s.
3d. Dublin to Liverpool, & hours,
from North Wall at hours according
to tide ; fares 13s. 6c/. and 5s.
4th. Dublin to London, 4 days,
calling at Falmouth, Plymouth, South-
ampton, Portsmouth and Gravesend,
twice a week from North Wall ; fares
1/. and 15s. This route is but little fre-
quented by tourists ; it is tedious, and
the steamers leave much to desire ; in
fine weather however the coasting from
station to station is pleasant.
Dublin and London, direct through
tickets via Kingstown and Holyhead in
12 hours ; fares, first-class, 3/. 2s.
6<i. ; second-class, 2/. 5s. 6o?. Beds
are provided on the mail steamers for
travellers who wish to sleep on board
the night previous to starting.
Holyhead. — Population 8500 ; a
small seaport in the Island of Angle-
sey, 225 miles from London, of little
note or interest except as the station
of the magnificent steamers for the
mail service from Ireland (Dublin and
Kingstown).
The Royal Hotel at the station
ofl^ers fair accommodation, and the
famed Welsh mutton is here eaten in
perfection.
The steamers arrive from Kingstown
at 11 A. M. and 11 p. m., and leave
for same destination at 3.15 a. m. and
2.15 p, M. The mail trains, in con-
nection with the arrival of the steam-
ers, leave Holyhead at 11. 40 a. m. and
11.55 p. M., arriving in London at
6.25 p. M. and 6.45 a. m. The road
as far as Chester is most interesting, a
great part in view of the sea and with
occasional grand mountain scenery.
From Steamer at Liverpool to
London.
Liverpool, after London, from
which it is distant 202 miles, is the
most important port of England, with
a population of upwards of 450,000.
U. S. Consulate : Lucius Fail-
child, Consid. Richard Paulson, Con-
sular Clerk.
Hotels. — The Adelphi. The Wash-
ington. The London and North- Western.
The growth of Liverpool, from an
insignificant village into the second
port of the British Empire, has been
wondrously rapid ; in 1565, it had but
one church ; in 1820, seven ; it now
numbers upwards of forty-five.
The Docks, perhaps the finest in the
world, extend upwards of five miles
in length, and are found insufiicient
for the enormous traffic. Liverpool
is the port of departure for numerous
Trans-Atlantic and other ocean lines
of steamers. It contains but few pub-
lic buildings to call attention except
the Exchange, the Town Hall and St.
George's Hall.

Hotels. — The hotels of London
are numerous, of various degrees of
merit, and very difficult to class.
Mivarfs is, perhaps, the most ai'isto-
cratic, being frequented by princes,
potentates, peers and millionaires ; it
has little of outward show, consisting,
indeed, of numerous houses, with in-
ter-communication, and so adapted
for purposes of hotel life. The Lang-
ham is a palatial building, well situated
in the best part of the West-End, or
fashionable part of London, and it is
much frequented by the higher class
of American visitors. The Great
Western Hotel._ at the terminus of the
Great Western Railway, Paddington,
is remote from the centre of the Me-
tropolis, but conveyance by cab, car
and underground railway, goes far to
remove that objection. The Charing
Cross is the most central of all the
London hotels, being in the very
centre of the Metropolis ; it is large
and well conducted, but somewhat
noisy, and the attendance indifferent.
The Grosvenor is another large and
well-conducted hotel, well situated for
travellers going onward to the Conti-
nent by the Short Sea Route, via
Folkestone or Dover, Boulogne or Ca-
lais. The City Terminus Hotel, at
the Cannon street terminus, in the
heart of the city, is well situated for
travellers having business appoint-
ments. This is another terminus o|"
London.
-9
the, Short Sea Eoute last mentioned.
The Queen^s Hotel has less pretension
than the preceding, but it is a com-
fortable house, immediately opposite
the General Post-Office. St. Martins
le Grand; The Golden Cross, Charing
Cross ; Morley^s Hotel, Charing Cross ;
Bridge House Hotel, London Bridge ;
Nelson^s Hotel, Gt. Portland street,
are all good in their way, but of more
moderate proportions and pretensions.
HaxaU's Exeter Hall Hotel is much
frequented by Americans.
Restaurants and Eating-Hou-
SES. — Although much has been done
to improve these of late years, there is
still room for improvement. Amongst
the principal establishments of the
sort the following are prominent :
The Wellington, Cockspurst., facing
Pall Mall ; the St. James, Regent st.
and Piccadilly ; Simpson'' s, Strand,
with a smoking and chess-room at-
tached ; Spiel's Sf Pond, Ludgate Hill
Station ; the London, Pleet street,
corner of Chancery lane ; the Rain-
how, opposite the latter — a narrow en-
trance, but well conducted. At most
of these a good dinner of fish, joint,

The traveller merely passing through
London will do well to utilize his time
by selecting the most prominent ob-
jects of interest, amongst which we
will enumerate -.-tt
Windsor Palace, distant 22 miles
from London, easily accessible by two
lines of railway. Tickets to view the
State Apartments can be had gratis
on application at the printseller's, op-
posite the entrance. St. George's
Chapel and the fine Terraces are al-
ways open, free. After viewing the
Palace, take an open carriage for a
drive of three miles across the mag-
nificent Park to Virginia Water, and
return to town from the Station there.
This will be a day well spent.
The British Museum (open daily,
free). Great Russell street, Blooms-
bury. The Reading-Room is only
seen by tickets, which can be had on
application, from the employee at the
lobby on entering. This room is a
sight to be remembered ; it is the finest
room in the world. All the other
apartments are open free.
The Crystal Palace, six miles
from town, originally intended for
purposes of instruction and science,
now converted into a vast Exhibition,
10
From Liverpool to London.
where a day can be well spent in
viewing its varied contents and the
really jfine Gardens in which it is situ-
ated. Orations, Concerts and Specta-
cles are occasionally given. The
Water-Works are unequalled after
Versailles, and a Refreshment Buffet
and Restaurant enables the visitor to
feast mind and body at the same
time.
The Albert Hall, on the site of
the First International Exhibition
Building, at Kensington, a vast pile,
designed for monster concerts and
meetings, is worth seeing ; there is no
other such building in Europe. Op-
posite to it is the Albert Memorial., ele-
gant in design and rich in sculpture,
ornament and gilding. Adjoining
the two is the International Annual
Exhibition, entitled to a passing visit.
London Breweries. — Those of
Whitbread, in Chiswell street, and
Meux, in Tottenham Court Road, are
easiest of access, and the visitor will
receive every attention on presenting
himself. No introduction is neces-
sary.
Other places of note are
The National Gallery of Paintings
and Scidpture, open free. Trafalgar
Square.
Westminster Abbey.
St. Paid^s Cathedral.
The Houses oj" Parliament. — (Should
a traveller wish to assist at the debate
in either House, a letter addressed to
any one member will meet with prompt
and courteous attention.)

be found a good guide to the sights

It is of great importance that pas-
sengers should have the whole of their

to each passenger, with an additional
charge to Paris passengers of one
penny on each package.

INFORMATION TO PASSENGERS
TO THE CONTINENT, via HAR-
WICH.—REGISTRATION OF PAS-
SENGERS' BAGGAGE.
General Notice. — The Registra-
tion of Baggage saves the passenger
from all trouble and expense of landing
and shipping the baggage and convey-
ing it between the train and boat, har-
bor dues, and other imposts hitherto
made ; secures an allowance (25 kilos,
or 56 lbs.) of baggage free of charge ;
also the privilege of paying before de-
parture the charge for conveyance of
excess baggage, according to a fixed
through rate. This registration may
be made to the place of destination, or
from any station to any other station
on the Continent at which the Through
Ticket allows the traveller to stop ;
but where the passenger intends to
stop short of the final destination shown,
by his Through Ticket, he should re-
gister only to the first point at which
he desires to break the journey.
Baggage is registered from London
by the Trains running in connection with
the Boats, but only on the production
of the Passenger's Through Ticket at
the Registration Office ten minutes be-
fore the time fixed for the departure
of the train. Passengers are recom-
mended to register their baggage in
all cases. The Company cannot un-
dertake to register baggage, unless
the passenger, with the baggage and
Through Ticket, be at the Bishopsgate
Station ten minutes in advance of the
time fixed for the departure of the
train. The baggage ticket must be
given up before the baggage can be
delivered at destination. Each pack-
age should have the name and address
of the owner distinctly marked thereon,
and all old-luggage labels should be
removed. Merchandise registered as
baggage is liable to detention and
seizure by the customs ; and passen-
gers are hereby cautioned against re-
gistering articles of the description of
merchandise, or that are not for per-
sonal use. Passengers should person-
ally claim their baggage on arriving
at the point to which registei-ed, and
give notice immediately to the station
master if anything is wrong, giving a

list of the contents of any packages
missing.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
Officers provided by the Company to
pass Baggage. — Passengers are recom-
mended, for their own protection, to
avail themselves of the company's
agent, at Harwich, who makes no
charge for passing baggage not liable
to duty, and to give their keys to him
alone. They are at liberty to pass
their own entries, or employ other
agents, should they prefer doing so ;
but the company is in no way respon-
sible for any detention or inconveni-
ence that may arise from other than
their own agent being employed.
Saloon Family Carriage. — A First
Class Saloon Family Carriage, with
ante-room and suitable fittings, se-
cond class compartment for servants,
and separate compartment for lug-
gage, is kept at the Bishopsgate Ter-
minus, and can be sent to any part of
the line on application being made to
the Superintendent's Office, Bishops-
gate, at least 24 hours before the car-
riage is required. The charge for the
use of this carriage will not be less
than for four first class and four se-
cond class adult fares, the minimum
being 60s. Servants and excess lug-
gage will be charged in addition to the
fares.

(The Thames., The Meuse, The Bhine,

This route will be no doubt a little

ried, picturesque and interesting of
any for the traveller of taste and re-
finement with means at his command.

The stopping-places on this route
will probably be Frankfort and Munich,
for a day at the former, and two or
three at the latter j for sleeping-places,
Aix-la-Chapelle or Cologne, Passau
and Linz, may be selected. The tra-
veller will thus become acquainted by
this route with five attractive rivers.
The Thames and its commerce, the
Meuse and its many beauties of scenery,
the Rhine and its picturesque and ro-
mantic borders, the Maine and the
Danube. Of the latter river the fol-
lowing description is borrowed from
Murray's admirable Hand-Book for
Southern Germany : —
"The Danube is the chief river of
Germany, and is second to none in
Europe, save the Volga, yet the navi-
gation of it has hitherto borne no pro-
portion to its rank and size. The ves-
sels on it, previously to 1830 when the
first steamer was launched, were almost
exclusively bai'ges of unpainted planks,
valued only as timber to be broken up.
Being intended for merchandise, the
comfort of travellers was little cared
for, and but few availed themselves of
the meagre accommodations. Yet a
portion of its banks discloses scenery
as striking as any on the Rhine, in-
deed many travellers are of the opi-
nion that the defile at Weltenberg,
above Ratisbon ; Passau, and the defile
between it and Linz ; the scene around
the Strudel and Wirbel, Molk and
Diirrenstein — equal the Rhine scenery.
It must be confessed that these beau-
ties are set further apart than those
of the Rhine, and that the traveller
must go farther to seek them, and that
there is no such continuous chain of
grand views as that between Bingen
and Coblenz. The Danube however
is distinguished from the Rhine by its
vast forests feathering down to the wa-
ter's edge from the summit of high
mountains which confine the river on
both sides ; and in addition to the pic-
turesque ruins of ancient castles, it is
diversified with numerous monasteries,
palaces in extent and splendor, and
mighty monuments of ecclesiastical
wealth and power. Such are the con-
vents of Molk, Gottweich and Kloster-
neuberg. In historical associations,
the Danube does not yield to the Rhine.
It was for a long time a Roman fron-
tier ; its valley has been the high road
of the barbarous hordes of Attila and
of the armies of Charlemagne, Gus-
tavus Adolphus, Solyman the Magni-
ficent, Marlborough and Napoleon ;
its shores have echoed at one time with
the hymns of the Pilgrims of the
Cross, and at another with the enthu-
siastic shouts of the turbaned followers
of the Prophet, and its waters have
been dyed in turn with the blood of
Romans, Huns, Germans, Swedes,
Turks, French and English."
Southampton, a rising and
thriving seaport, 77 miles from Lon-
don. Population 55,000. Southamp-
ton is the station of departure for the
Royal Mail steamships to the West
Indies, and port of call for numerous
American steamship companies. It
has of late years become a place of
considerable importance in maritime
commerce, and the traffic in transit
30
From London to Vienna.
through it to France and the Channel
Islands is very considerable. The com-
munication between Southampton and
the Isle of Wight is kept up by nume-
rous steamers, small and slow, leaving
much to be desired. The traveller hav-
ing spare time can pleasantly occupy
it by taking the steamer to Cowes and
Ryde — an excursion of a few hours
only.
U. S. Consulate : William Thom-

TTew Haven, a small seaport,

offers nothing whatever to interest the
traveller. The Steam Packet Quay is
alongside the Custom-House and South
Coast Railway Terminus, and London
and Paris Hotel all under one roof.
In case of bad weather or detention,
the traveller will find comfort and at-
tention in the hotel accommodation ;
there are frequent trains to London and
to Brighton.
Folkestone, an ancient seaport,
70 miles from London. Population
10,000, Offers little to attract the
stranger ; it is a somewhat picturesque
old town with tortuous, narrow and
steep streets j its importance is chiefly
derived from the passenger traffic with
France, which is considerable, there
being two departures each way daily.
Hotels. — The Pavilion, near the
harbour. The West Cliff. Both well
spoken of.
Dover, 88 miles from London by
rail, 72 by road. Population 30,000.
The port for the packet station for the
mail service with the Continent of
Europe, and a fashionable place of re-
sort in the summer season, being one
of the favorite watering-places for the
inhabitants of the Metropolis. The
Harbor of Refuge is on an extensive
scale, and the Admiralty Pier, where
the steamers embark and disembark
their passengers at all states of the
tide, is a noble specimen of solid
masonry. The Esplanade is a fine,
wide promenade, extending upwards
of a mile along the Beach, which is
provided with every convenience, in-
cluding apartments for bathing.

FRANCE.
Calais is perhaps the most familiar
French Port frequented by British and
American travellers, and the nearest
to England, the channel at this point
being only 21 miles across. Calais is
distant 186 miles from Paris, with
which it has two lines of communica-
tion by Mail : the one by St. Omer,
the other by Boulogne and Abbeville;
both meeting at Amiens; several de-
partures each way daily ; time occu-
pied 5 J hours. Calais, with the ad-
jacent township of St. Pierre, has a
population of about 22,000 ; it is a
thriving little town not altogether de-
serving the ill name it has obtained for
dirt and bad smells, and a few hours
may agreeably be spent in viewing its
Church built by the English ; the Toion
Hall, Museum, etc. The room occu-
pied by Sterne in the old Hotel Dessin
(now used for municipal purposes) in
the Rue Royale, and where several of
the scenes in "The Sentimental Jour-
ney" are stated to have occurred, can
be readily seen and will interest the
traveller.
A considerable trade in timber and
blonde race is carried on at Calais.
U. S. Consular Agency (under
Consulate at Paris) : — J. P. Vendroux,
Agent.
Hotels. — Dessin, the best and un-
der high patronage. Meurice's, a good
second-rate house of cosmopolitan
character. Flandre, a commercial
house, clean, cheap and with a good
table d'hote. Buffet, at the station on
the harbor, very good ; beds can be
had.
Boulogne, distant from Paris 168
miles. Population 40,000.

tagnie, Consul. Jos. Fontaine, Vice-
Consul.

Boulogne has rapidly risen in im-
portance ; from being a small fishing-
town, it has become a thriving and
attractive city, much frequented by the
English, who constitute an important
3
item in its population. The Upper
Town, surrounded by walls which af-
ford a pleasant promenade, is quaint
and quiet, little visited or known by
travellers, all the hotels, shops and
buisness establishments being in the
Lower Town, where a continual move-
ment is kept up by the frequent (not
less than 8 and sometimes 10) arrivals
and departures of steamers from and
to England, via New Haven and Lon-
don. The traveller will find a good
English bookstore and libraiy at
Merriview's, Rue Napoleon.
Travellers not desirous of making
any stay at Boulogne, had better drive
direct to the railway station, f of a
mile distant, where there is a good
Buffet.
Steamers to London daily according
to tide, in 8 or 10 hours; fares lis.
and 8s. The boats are not large, and
they are at times inconveniently
crowded.
To New Haven twice daily accord-
■ ing to tide ; average passage 2 hours.

Hotels. — Grand, Hotel des Bains

near the landing-place of the steamers,
convenient for travellers who only re-
quire a meal or intend a short stay.
Dieppe has but little trade. Of late
years it has become a fashionable and
expensive watering-place for Parisian
opulence, and the passenger traffic
with England is considerable. There
are few public buildings, and none
deserving much attention or descrip-
tion. There are pleasant walks in tho
environs, the more prominent and at-
tractive being to the Chateau d'Arques,
distant about 4 miles, and to the vil-
lage of Varengeville.
Ivory carving is one of the special-
ties of Dieppe, and is brought to great
perfection.

Havre is the most thriving and pros-
perous maritime city in the French
dominions, although comparatively
of modern date. Its population has
more than doubled in the last fifty
years, partly owing to the removal of
the former city walls, so bringing
within its limits the former outlying
suburbs. Some of the new buildings
are handsome, with considerable pre-
tension to architectural beauty, the
most prominent being the Theatre.
But the interest and importance of
Havre is derived from its trade, which
represents fully one-fourth of that of
all France. The docks are spacious,
and are being continually increased
and improved to satisfy the daily in-
creasing requirements of its trade.
The principal promenade of the town
is the Pier.
Havre is the chief port of arrival
and departure for France of the ship-
ping for the United States. There
was formerly direct river communica-
tion by steam with Paris. But the
steamers now stop at Rouen, 57 miles
distant ; the hours vary according to
the tide. There is also steam com-
munication with Sc. Malo, Cherbourg,
Rotterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen and
St. Petersburg. Also, to London, once
a week, 18 hours. Fares ll.s. and 8s.

The capital of Normandy, situated
on the Seine, a fine, interesting and
important city, admirably located in a
beautiful and picturesque country, the
centre of the cotton district or manu-
factories of France. The old parts of
the city are most characteristic of a
remote period of quaint architecture,
but the spirit of improvement is fast
clearing away these remains of anti-
quity.
The Cathedral and the Church of
St. Ouen well deserve careful attention,
and should not on any account be
passed over. There are numerous
agreeable walks in the neighborhood,
and a day devoted to Rouen will be
well spent, and leave none but agree-
able impressions.

press. Fares 16/r. 75 c. ; 12/?-. 50 c.
St. Malo, distant from Paris 280
miles. Population 11,000. A quaint
sombre stronghold, formerly, if not
much belied, a nest of pirates and
smugglers — now a sluggish town do-
ing a brisk export trade in eggs, but-
ter, fruit, &c.. for the English market,
with a moderate market passenger
traffic for the Channel Islands. It
was the birth-place of Chateaubriand,
and his tomb is a characteristic one
on a rock surrounded by the sea at
high water. The town of St. Servan
across the harbor is dull and dreary,
but many English and some American
families have made it their residence,
chiefly for reasons of economy.
The rise and fall of the tide is re-
markable here, there being at high
tide 40 or 50 feet of water in the chan-
nel, which at low water is crossed dry-
footed.

it has in itself considerable trade and
a large amount of shipping.
The Principal Buildings are the
Cathedral which dates from the fif-
teenth century, containing some fine
monuments, and which will repay a
visit.
The Castle, The Hotel de la Prefec-
ture, The Quays, Bridges, etc., are all
worthy of attention.
The Museum of Paintings contains
some of great merit.
There are steamers to Angers and

ing numerous public buildings and
churches, the principal of which are
St. Etienne, a fine edifice, with a hand-
some front, in which William the Con-
queror was buried ; the organ and
pulpit are worthy of attention ; the
Church of St. Jean, with beautiful
stained glass windows ; St. Peter^ s, re-

Hotels. — The principal Hotels
likely to be attractive and suitable for
American visitors, will be the Grand
Hotel, Boulevard des Capucines ; the
Hotel du Louvre, Rue de Rivoli ; the
Hotel Meurice, Rue de Rivoli ; Hotel
du Rhin, Place Vendome (small and
good) ; Hotel Bristol, Place Vendome,
an aristocratic establishment, fre-
quented by magnates of rank and
fortune ; Hotel Vouillemont, Rue des
Champs Elysees ; Hotel Afirabeau, Rue
de la Paix. Most of these hotels have
tables d'hote.
Restaurants abound, and are of
rank and character to suit all tastes
and all purses ; those that are good
are dear ; those that are cheap are
nasty ; and it requires some skill to
steer between the two.
Amongst the best are the Caf^
Riche and the Cafe Anglais on the
Boulevards ; the Voisin, Rue St. Ho-
nore ; Durand^s, Place de la Made-
leine ; Champeaux, Place de la Bourse.
Excellent cuisine and moderate
charges combined will be met with at
an old-fashioned establishment oppo-
site the palace of the Luxembourg,
known as " FoynVs,'''' and at the Bcnuf
a la Mode, Rue de Valois, near the
Palais Royal.
The American Colony in Paris, now
an institution of the French capital,

Ostend. — A seaport of Belgium,
and, in the season, a fashionable wa-
tering-place— at other times, dull and
sleepy. The country around is unin-
teresting, the only promenade being
the Dyke or Sea-wall, with a mono-
tonous sea-view.
It is the station for the mail steam-
ers Avith England, which depart and

Antwerp. — Population 120,000 ;
distant 27 miles from Brussels ; the
chief port of Belgiuji, an ancient city
of most interesting character, histori-
cally and archasologically.
The Principal Buildings are its
magnificent Cathedral, in which is
placed a master-piece of Rubens,
" The Descent from the Cross," gen-
erally veiled from public gaze, but for
a small fee open at all hours to
strangers. The Toion Hall, recently
restored after its destruction by fire, is
deserving of notice ; and there are
numerous churches, and collections of
paintings. A considerable trade is
carried on to all parts of the world
from Antwerp, which is daily increas-
ing, requiring more dock accommoda-
tion. By the removal of the fortifica-
tions, the city has obtained a freer and
more open appearance, and has been
much improved.
U. S. Consulate. — James Riley
Weaver, Consul. Ernst Fuchs, Vice-
Consul.
Hotels. — These are good. The
principal are, The Saint Antoine and
Grand Laboureur.
Rail to Brussels in 4.5 minutes, ex-
press.
Brussels. — The capital of Bel-
gium ; papulation upwards of 300,000;
a picturesque and attractive city, offer-
ing every inducement to the traveller
to prolong his stay.
U. S. Consulate. — John Wilson,
Consid. Gustave Daws, Vice- Consul.
Hotels. — These are excellent and
numerous. In first rank of promi-
nence is the Hotel de Belle Vue, in the
upper town, having frontage on the
Park, It is largely patronized by the
opulent class of travellers. Dr. Drem-
mel, the proprietor, is also a banker,
money-changer and Avine merchant.
The Hotel de Flandre and the Hotel de
France, in the upper town, also are .
very excellent, but of less pretension.
The Hotel de Snide, in the lower town,
is very well conducted, clean and mod-
erate ; its cuisine and cellar are both
excellent, and the table d'hote is in high
favor with travellers.
Amateurs of fine wine will nowhere
find Burgundy in finer condition than
at Brussels, the cellars here appearing
to favor the maturing of this some-
what capricious wine.
Objects of Interest are numer-
ous ; the principal are, the magnificent
Cathedral of Sainte Gudule, recently
restored, admirable in point of archi-
tecture, and containing carved fittings
of rare workmanship, especially a rich-
ly sculptured pulpit ; it has also splen-
did stained-glass windows. The King's
Palace, a plain, unostentatious build-
ing ; the Parliament House, the Botan-
ical Gardens, the Town Hall and Grande
Place, the Museum, numerous churches
and private collections.
On a much smaller scale, Brussels
may be compared to Paris, which it
copies in most things. The Park is
small and pretty, the Boulevards are
extensive, and the means of locomo-
tion easy and abundant. Several the-
atres offer attractive performances, and
the visitor will find ample employment
for several days' real enjoyment in
Brussels and its environs.
The battle-field of Waterloo is within
14 miles of Brussels. Stage-coaches
of English fashion go daily, returning
in the afternoon in time for dinner.
36
Prussia.
The more comfortable and independ-
ent way for a party is by a private
carriage. There are houses of enter-
tainment, of moderate capabilities, at
Waterloo.

To Aix-la-Chapelle, Cologne, &c., see
routes.
Aix-la-Chapelle — (Aachen.) —
Population 70,000, is a charming sit-
uation— at one time a fashionable
watering-place, much frequented on
account of its mineral waters, said to
be very efficacious for ailments of va-
rious kinds, but not very pleasant to
the palate and the nostrils. The town
still enjoys a certain reputation
amongst invalids, but to the tourist it
offers no attraction, except the Cathe-
dral, with the Tomb of Charlemagne
(a plain slab let into the pavement).
A very agreeable promenade to the
summit of the Louiseberg, will well
repay the visit. Its rural walks, pic-
turesque features and fine views are
well entitled to the praise bestowed on
them.
U. S. Consulate. — James Park,
Consul. Edward Sternberg, Vice-
Consul,
Hotels. — The hotels here are ex-
cellent. The principal are, the Hotel
da Grand Monarque, with two tables
d'hote daily ; Hotel Nuellens, and Du-
brick''s Hotel.
Cologne. — An important town of
Prussia and a port on the Rhine — a
centre of several great lines of rail-
way connecting North Germany with
Austria and France. Population,
about 125,000, but probably in excess
of that number.
U. S. Consulate Agency. — G.
Holscher, Agent.
Hotels. — None of the hotels ai-e
first-rate. In the winter they are slug-
gish and half closed, but in the sum-
mer the crowds of daily shifting trav-
ellers— few remaining more than a
night — create bustle and confusion, to
the disquiet of steady visitors. The
principal are, the Hotel Disch, in the
town, near the cathedral, perhaps the
best — a large, sombre building, much
frequented ; Hotel de Hollande, on the
river, in close proximity to the steam-
ers, and in that respect convenient.
The Cathedral has a world-wide re-
putation, and is the chief object of at-
traction in Cologne. The double
bridge over the Rhine, for railroad
and passenger traffic, is a magnificent
structure.
In the Church of St. Peter there is a
fine Rubens, " The Crucifixion of St.
Pe-ter." A copy is always on view,
and the custodian is always on hand
to show the original.
But a very few years since, and
there was one departure of steamers
up the stream daily, and that of slow
progress and scant accommodation.
Now there are numerous departures
daily, the Express Saloon Steamers
leaving early (7 A. m.), and making
the trip between Cologne and Mayence
in one day. These steamers are gen-
erally known as " American steam-
ers ;" they have an excellent restaur-
ant and table d'hote, a good ladies'
cabin, a fine promenade deck ; and in
fine weather it is impossible to imagine
a more enjoyable and beautiful trip
between Bonn and Bin gen. The scen-
ery is one continued beautiful pano-
rama of absorbing interest, command-
ing the undivided attention and admi-
ration of the traveller.
Where haste is an object, the Rhine
is thus to be done in a day ; but, if
time can be spared, it will make the
trip more interesting by making a stop
at Coblenz and anothor at St. Goar,
thus dividing the journey into three
days. As the river is through a flat
country as far as
Bonn, the traveller will do well to
take a late train from Cologne to Bonn
— about an hour — and sleep at the
comfortable hotel of the Gold-en Star
in this pretty, lively town, taking the
steamer next morning (the express
boat), at 9.45, and stopping at
Coblenz (Hotel du G^ant, excel-
lent), which will give him ample time
to visit the charming little watering-
Berlin.
37
place (frequented by high society) of
Ems, either by rail or private car-
riage— the latter preferable, as the
drive is most pleasant. He will also
have time to visit the Castle of Stolz-
enfels, on the banks of the Rhine, for-
merly in ruins, now restored and made
inhabitable by the present Emperor of
Germany, who here entertained Queen
Victoria when she visited Prussia some
years since.
St. Goae is a very beautiful spot,
in the midst of romantic scenery, and
oifering varied drives, rides and Avalks.
Several new hotels have lately been
opened. The traveller will do well to
inquire as to the best from the land-
lord at Coblenz. The fine scenery of
the Rhine ends at Bingen, where the
traveller can, if he pleases, leave the
steamer and take the rail direct to
Frankfort Spa^ as there is nothing of
interest to see at Mayence. And, as
the boats from Mayence to Frankfort
are uncertain in their arrangements,
it will be well to inquire on board the
Rhine steamer as to their hours, &c.
There is a line of railway on each
hank of the Rhine, so that in case of
bad v/eather or extraordinary haste,
the traveller is not bound to any one
route, but may make his choice to suit
his convenience. Panoramas and
guides to the Rhine abound, and af-
ford much aid in viewing the continu-
ally varied scenery and localities.
Hanover, formerly capital of the
kingdom of Hanover, now reduced to a
provincial town of Prussia, derives
its present prosperity from its manu-
factures and industry, formerly unim-
portant, but which are now thriving
and increasing. Pop. nearly 80,000.
Hotels.— The hotels are good — the
Victoria, the Union, the Roijal, nearest
the railv/ay.
The old toAvn is quaint and charac-
teristic of the early ages ; some of the
street architecture is interesting. The
new part is well laid out, and contains
aonie elegant buildings.
Hanover is a great railway junction
in connection with all parts of Ger-
many.
The Principal Buildings are the
Palace, the Town Hall^ the Schloss
JCirche.
There is a small colony of English
residents here and an English chap-
lain.
Berlin, the capital of Prussia, on
the Spree, a contracted sluggish
stream here contaminated by the sew-
erage of the town, and little better
than a filthy ditch, is distant 700 miles
from Paris, 150 miles from Hamburgh
and 100 miles from Dresden. Popu-
lation over 800,000.
U. S. Consulate: — H. Kreis-
man, Consul.
Hotels. — The hotels are indifferent
and leave much to desire — among the
best may be mentioned de Russie, de
Angleterre, du Nord, de Rome and
Royal ; they are all situated in the
centre of the town on or near the
'"''Unter den Linden.'''' This is the
finest street of the town, containing
nearly all the public buildings, palaces
and best shops, with an avenue of trees
down the centre which affords a splen-
did promenade. The other streets of
the town are wide and straight, but
badly paved, indifferently lighted and
with open gutters on each side.
American visitors will meet with
every attention and obtain all the
information they may require of
Messrs. Thode & Co., the Ameri-
can Bankers, 171 Friedrich Strasse,
who have also an establishment at
Dresden, and who are most oblig-
ing and attentive to strangers ; their
" Strangers' Room " is supplied with
American and English newspapers.
The Principal Buildings of
Berlin are the Royal Palace, con-
taining some splendid Salles and fine
paintings ; the new Museum, open
daily ; the University, the Bath House,
the Opera House, &c., &c. A very
fine Aquarium on the Unter den Lin-
den is an object of great attraction.
The Thiergarten is the Park of
Berlin ; it is of considerable extent,
and in summer affords pleasant drives.
The drive to Charlottenberg through
the Thiergarten is pleasant ; there is

Prussia.
a train from Dorothea Strasse in half

If time will admit, the stranger
should visit Potsdam, generally de-
scribed as the Versailles of Berlin ;
the Palace and grounds are interest-
ing, and a day will be well spent in
the visit.

Berlin to Vienna via Dresden and
Prague, 4 departures daily in 27 hours ;
but the trains have been much accel-
erated for this season, and the travel-
ler not hurried for time will proba-
bly break his journey at Dresden and
Prague.
Dresden, capital of Saxony, on
the Elbe; population 175,000. One
of the finest and most agreeable cities
of Germany, offering attractions of
superior character in every variety to
satisfy all tastes — picturesque scenery,
an unsurpassed gallery of paintings
containing chef d'ceuvres of the finest
masters, rare collections of art, the
handsome theatre (recently destroyed
by fire, but rebuilding with increased
splendor), charming rides and drives,
and agreeable society.
U. S. Consulate. — O. H. Irish,
Consul. W. Knoop, Vice-Consul.
Hotels. — The hotels are good ; the
" Victoria," kept by an obliging land-
lord, who speaks English, has a choice
cellar and excellent cuisine. Cleanli-
ness and comfort are combined with
moderate charges. Among the others
are the hotels Goldnen Engel, de Saxe,
Belle Vue, de France, Royal, &c.
Messrs. Thode, the American bank-
ers here, as at Berlin, afford to citizens
of the United States an agreeable cen-
tre of information, and provide Amer-
ican and English newspapers.
The galleries will fully occupy two
days, which will be well spent in the
enjoyment of a rich treat that will
leave a lasting impression of pleasure
on the mind. One day at least should
be given to the picturesque scenery of
the Saxon Switzerland, a district of
rare beauty. The trip may be made
in one day, taking the early train to
Schandau, and returning in the after-
noon by steamer ; but the preferable
way is to make Schandau a resting-
place — sleeping at one of the somewhat
primitive but clean and really comfort-
able inns of the place, and visiting the
environs at leisure. The trout here
recommend themselves to the attention
of the lover of good living ; they are
kept in tanks, and therefore always
ready. The writer, although not an
epicure, would suggest that " «m ftZew,"
that Is plain boiled, with only a squeeze
of lemon-juice for sauce, they are de-
licious.
By the mid-day boat the traveller
may continue his journey the next day,
and take the rail to Prague and Vienna
at Bodenba-ch.
The scenery of the Elbe is vei-y fine,
but it is too often passed over without
the notice it deserves. It affords, be-
sides, an agreeable relief from the
monotony of the rail.
From Dresden to Bodenbach the
rail is almost continuously along the
banks of the river. At Bodenbach
Station there is a well-supplied restau-
rant with good attendance.
Rail from Dresden

Fares— 6 th. 12 gr., 4 th. 59 gr.

These trains will probably be accel-
erated during the coming season.
Prague, the chief city of Bohe-
mia (Austrian Empire), on the Mol-
dau. Population over 155,000. Situ-
ated, and extending far on both shores
of the Moldau, and surrounded by
pleasing heights, it wears, undoubt-
edly, the most beautiful aspect of all
the German towns, being adorned
Avith its 60 peculiar and singularly
formed spires, with its lordly castle at
the back of the hill (^Hradschin) , and
the broad expanse of its streams,
spanned by two noble bridges. Cir-
cumference, 1 German mile f ths ;
divided into Altstadt and Neustadt, on
one bank of the Moldau, and into
Mayence — Stuttgardt.
S9
Kleinseite and Hradschin on the other ;
forming four towns.
A commissionaire is indispensable
in this place. With his assistance most
of the sights may be seen in one day.
Indeed, although historically, Prague
is one of the most interesting cities of
Europe, and for the antiquarian and
archgeologist, full of interest ; the
ordinary traveller will soon tire of
repetitions after a ^q-^/^ hours of close
inspection.
The Palace op Wallenstein
will first command attention, not so
much on account of its architecture or
size as of its historical associations.
Prague has the distinction of being
the oldest University of Germany.
Hoffmann, near the Hotel de
I'Etoile Bleu, has a large show of
Bohemian glass, so well known
throughout Europe.
U. S. Consulate. — Charles H.
Royce, Consul; Nathan Benedickt,
Vice-Consul.
Hotels. — None of the hotels are
first rate ; among the best may be
classed the Cheval Noir, Hotel de
V Etoile Bleu and the Hotel d^Angle-
terre ; the first is the most frequented,
the fare is good, and in summer din-
ners are served in the garden ; the
charges are high ; the Hotel d'An-
gleterre is more calculated for fami-
lies, but is rather out of the way.
Mayence, one of the strong
places of Germany, near the junction
of the Maine with the Rhine — popula-
tion about 45,000. There is nothing
of much interest in the town, which is
a place deriving importance only from
its position and its considerable trade
in wine, timber and corn. The Ca-
thedral is an unattractive building of
red stone.
US. Consulate. — Aaron Seeley,
Consul.
Hotels. — D'' Angleterre, Hollande,
good but often inconveniently crowded.
The traveller will do well to push on
at once for Frankfort.
Frankfort - on - the - Maine,
formerly (ine of the free towns, but
now swallowed up in the German em-
pire, an important commercial town
for large financial operations — the
birth-place of Rothschild, the founder
of the well-known family of that
name. The population at one time
nearly reached 100,000, but it has
somewhat declined of late years.
U. S. Consulate.— Wm. P. Web-
ster, Consul.
Hotels. — These are excellent —
first in rank is the Hotel de Russie,
second to none on the Continent ; the
Hotel d^ Angleterre, a large and well
conducted establishment ; the Hotel de
V Union, comfortable. Frankfort is
a fine and opulent city, but after visit-
ing the Cathedral and walking through
the principal quarters the traveller
will find but little to detain him ; he
can, if he pleases, visit
Hombourg, about an hour dis-
tant, which was formerly crowded in
the season by swarms of Russians,
Americans, English, &c., attracted
there by the gaming-tables and the
numerous amusements and attractions
provided as bait by the farmers of
these tables. What will be its fate,
now that gaming is at an end, it is
not difiicult to foresee ; yet the town is
handsome, the scenery grand, and
Hombourg ought to be, in itself, a
very enjoyable place. The same re-
marks may apply to its sister sinner
Wiesbaden, a little more dis-
tant (about an hour and a half's ride
from Frankfort), but equally well
known. Wiesbaden, however, has
trade and industry, and has become a
large and prosperous town ; both
places will repay a visit, and a day
will be well spent in visiting either.
Stuttgardt, on the Nechar—iha
capital of the kingdom of Wurtem-
BURO — population 80,000; a clean
and comparatively modern city, in a
beautiful situation. The Palace and
Park deserve notice, and the neigh-
boring town or village of Canstadt,
where there are good hotels and places
of entertainment, affbrds an agreeable
promenade ; but there is little in Stutt-
40

No city in the world probably has
so suddenly expanded from the small
capital of a petty state into a splendid
city of palaces and magnificence.
Early in the present century Munich
was a small, quaint German town,
little frequented by travellers. It is
now one of the gems of the continent
of Europe, with a population steadily
increasing.
The new city has not only the
claim to architectural taste and dis-
play, but it is evident to the most
casual observer that this claim is made
good. King Louis devoted his life
and fortune to the embellishment of
his capital, and right well has he suc-
ceeded in making it a noble casket to
contain the various and varied collec-
tions of art which it possesses. The
great objects of interest in Munich are
undoubtedly its galleries of painting
and sculpture, unsurpassed by any in
the world.
The Old Pinacothek contains a
rare collection of the old masters, and
is particularly rich in valuable speci-
mens of Rubens and Murillo. The
" Last Judgment " by Rubens — the
canvas measuring 19 ft by 15 ft. — is
by many connoiseurs considered his
master-piece and above all price ; but
it is to be feared that it is caviare to
the multitude. " The Murillos " are
charming specimens of truthful nature,
full of expression. The New Pina-
cothek is for modern paintings, and is
well worthy attention. The visitor
should provide himself with a cata-
logue at the entrance.
The Glyptothek, or repository for
sculptui-e, contains a well-selected and
carefully arranged collection, more
select than abundant.
There are many other private col-
lections in Munich worthy of notice ;
but the above three should on no ac-
count be omitted.
The other objects of attraction are :
The Church of St. Michael, the Frau-
enkirche, the Ludivigskirche, the Max
Joseph Platz, the Bavarian National
Museum, &c. The Theatre will contain
2500 people ; it is one of the largest in
Germany. The opera is good — care-
fully attended to in details ; but the
starring system is not very much in
vogue in Munich, so that high-class
excellence in principal parts must not
be looked for. The performance be-
gins early, and is generally over by
ten.
The internal arrangements of the
building are good, and will probably
interest those who have been behind
the scenes of a theatre. It is freely
shown on payment of a small fee.
On arrival in Munich, the traveller
should ask at the hotel for a list of
sights and the hours of admission,
which vary.
Donauworth, a small town on
the Danube, of little importance ; po-
pulation 2500.
Hotels. — Krebs, on the river near
the landing-place ; and Post. ',
Few travellers have occasion to stop
here, as the steamer starts after arrival
of first train from Munich and Nurem-
berg, in about 8 hours. Fares — 4 fi.
24:'kr., and 2fl. 57 kr. The stations
are Ingoldstadt, Weltenberg and Kel-
heim. After Kelheim the scenery is
less interesting.
Ratishon.
41
Ratisbon (in German .Re^ens-
burg) , at the confluence of the Danube
and Regen ; population 28,000. A
city of Bavaria.
Ho T E L s. — None spoken of very
highly — Goldenes Kreuz, WeisserHahn,
near the landing-place, and Nurnberger
Hof, nearest the station.
The Cathedral is one of the finest
gothic buildings in Germany. The
Rathhaus is interesting, as containing
" dungeons and chambers of torture,"
in more perfect preservation than any-
where else.
The following description, from
Murray's excellent Hand-Book of
Southern Germany, will be read with
interest :
" We came to a doorway so low
that I was obliged to bend nearly
double to enter it ; then found myself
with my back still bent in a vaulted
dungeon 6 ft. or 8 ft. square, lined
with wood, having a raised step at one
end to serve as a pillow to the inmate
of this miserable cell. Daylight was
entirely denied to him, and the only
air that could reach it from the dark
passage without came through a small
•grating in the door. In the ceiling is
a sqaure hole lined with lead, communi-
cating with a pipe which leads to a
room above. By this means anything
which the prisoner uttered might be
overheard. In this dungeon, which is
numbered 18, Count SchafFgotsch,
accused of being engaged in Wallen-
stein's conspiracy, was confined before
his execution, a. d. 1635. On the
outside my guide stooped down at a
trap-door of iron grating, strongly
fastened with bolts and chains, and,
lighting a piece of paper, pushed it
through the bars. As it fell, I per-
ceived by its light a dungeon more
horrid than the first — a kind of well
about 12 feet deep, with no other en-
trance than this trap-door, so that the
prisoner must have been let down into
it as into a living tomb. We passed
hence through several strong iron doors
to the Torture Chamber, a lofty apart-
ment with ample space for the exer-
cise of the apparatus of cruelty depos-
ited in it. Just outside the entrance is a
bench on which the prisoner was allow-
ed to sit to consider whether he would
make confession. From this spot he
could see through a small opening the
different instruments of torture. To
these Avere given facetious names.
First, the horizontal rack, resembling
a long bedstead or platform of boards,
upon which the criminal was laid, his
feet attached to one end and his arms
fastened to a rope which passed round
a windlass at the other, so as to stretch
out his limbs to the utmost extent that
agony Avould allow, without causing
death. It exhibits a refinement of
cruelty, being furnished with a roller
armed with spikes, rounded off, over
which the body of the sufferer was
drawn backwards and forwards. This
roller was called ' the larded hare.'
The second species of torture, called
the 'strappado,' was inflicted verti-
cally, by raising the victim by a rope
attached to his arms bound behind his
back to the roof, and then letting him
fall to within a few inches of the
ground ; two stones, the heaviest
weighing about 125 lbs., being at-
tached to the feet, so that the jerk in-
flicted by the sudden fall must have
strained the joints out of their sock-
ets." Another mode of applying it
was by securing the feet of the person
being examined to the floor, and then
hoisting him up until the crack was
heard of the arm-bones being pulled
out of their sockets.
The instrument by which this was
effected consists of an upright frame
of wood, with a windlass, to which
the rope is still fastened by one end,
while the other dangles from a pulley
in the roof, with a triangle of wood
attached to it ; it was named " Wicked
Bess." To this triangle the arms of
the victims were fastened. The third
instrument was a very high arm-chair,
having, instead of a cushion, a seat
stuck full of small sharp spikes of
wood, upon which the prisoner was
made to sit with weights on his lap
and others hanging from his feet.
This had two names — " The Confes-
sional" and "The Maiden's Lap."
A ladder leaning against the wall has
42
Austria,
some of the rounds replaced by angu-
lar pieces of wood turning on their
axis. The prisoner was hauled by a
rope over a pulley, passing into the
next room to the top of the ladder, and
then allowed to descend, the rapid
friction up and down grazing every
vertebra in his naked back as he
passed over them. It was called
"Slide." There is also a wooden
horse named " The Spanish Ass," on
the sharp edge of which the criminal
was made to ride ; and two or three
other instruments equally horrible,
the invention of which is a disgrace
to human nature. One side of this
chamber is partioned off by a screen
of wooden trellis-work ; and behind
it may still be seen the desk at which
the judges sat, and, unseen themselves,
took down the confessions extorted
from the victims in their agonies. On
the opposite side are the seats for the
executioner and surgeon. This ma-
chinery surpasses in iniquity what sur-
vives of the far-famed dungeons of
Venice, and is the only example in
Europe of such an apparatus perfectly
preserved, as indeed it deserves to
be preserved, to illustrate the manner
in which justice was administered in
ages which are often held up to our
admiration by those whose views of
history are drawn from their imagina-
tion.
The torture chamber lies directly
under the Hall of the Diet ; and had
not the floor been well lined, the cries
of the sufferers must have reached the
ears of the assembly.
The lining is now removed. A
work entitled " Institutio Criminalis
Theresina, "dated 1769, acopy of which
is shown at the Town House, contains
not only a description of the tortures
but representations of the modes of
inflicting them.
The steamer does not go beyond
Ratishon — from here to Passau the
rail must be taken. Time, 6|- hours.
Express 14 Ji. 12 kr.; 10 Jl. 18 kr.
Passail, a small town at the con-
fluence of the Danube with the Inn.
Population 11,500. The situation of
Passau is charming. It is built on a
sort of promontory where three rivers
meet, the Danube, the Inn and the ll.z,
with bridges over the three. The
neighborhood is picturesque, and the
town presents a handsome outside not
justified by its interior. If time per-
mits, the traveller will do well to
ascend to the Castle of Oberhaus or the
Hill o^ Maria Z??7/opposite,from which
he will obtain a fine view of the town,
the three rivers, distinguished by the
different colors of the waters, and the
picturesque environs.
Hotels. — The hotels are somewhat
primitive but good. The best and most
convenient for the steamer is the Wil-
der Mann, one of the old style of
houses, with vaulted roofs and open
staircase, but a clean and comfortable
house. The Griinen Engel is in the
town, and is also good.
The steamer leaves Passau for Linz
at noon, and reaches the latter city
about 4 or 5 p. m. The boats are
small and the fares moderate. Tickets
should be taken at the office on the
quay, opposite the landing-place. The
scenery of the Danube from Passau to
Linz is grand, and the distance being
short, the traveller has not time to tire
of the feast his eyes enjoy.
Fares to Linz 4^,, 2^. 65 kr.
Liinz, the capital of Upper Austria
on the Danube, which is here crossed
by a handsome suspension bridge,
opened in 1872; population 28,000 —
strongly garrisoned and fortified.
Hotels. — Rothen Krebs, on the Da-
nube ; Kanone, Golden Adler, in the
town ; Archduke Charles, at the land-
ing-place of the steamer, very conve-
niently situated, but in the season
noisy. There are no tables d^hoie —
dinners must be ordered at a fixed
price, or d, la carte, and the bills should
be looked to, and prices ascertained
before giving orders.
Linz is historically and geographi-
cally interesting ; but it contains no
objects of sufficient interest to detain
the traveller.
The steamer leaves Linz early in
the morning ; there is a good table
Ijinz.
43
rf'Aofe and restaurant on board. The
distance by river is about 125 miles ;
fares to Vienna 6 fl. and 4 fl.^ but it
is probable that hours and fares will
both be subject to alterations for the
season of 1873 — the time-tables of
the company, to be seen at all the
hotels, should therefore be consulted.
The first two hours are passed
through a dull uninteresting country,
after which the river flows through
some fine passes and gorges, and in
view of ruined castles and monasteries
that give variety and interest to the
scene. The principal stations are
Grein, Yps, Molk and Stein. The
finest parts of the river are about the
celebrated Strudel and Wirbel, at
3folk and at Diirrenstein.
At present the steamer stops at
Nussdorf at the mouth of the Danube-
Canal to Vienna, where passengers
are transferred with their luggage to
smaller boats (steamers) which rap-
idly take them to their destination,
the landing-place being near the Fer-
dinand's Bridge in the centre of the
city.
The boat once moored, porters come
on board and take the luggage to the
carriage, the stand for which is oppo-
site the landing place, and on arrival
at the hotel the porter will pay the
proper charge.
It is projected to make the Danube
navigable as far as Vienna itself.
The work has been for some time in
progress, and it is probable or possi-
ble that in 1873 the steamers will
land their passengers at the new Quay
now forming near the exhibition
building, without changing at Nuss-
dorf.

Vi
lenna.
VIENNA.
Vienna, the metropolis of the
Austrian Empire, is situated at the
foot of Mount Kahlenberg, on the
southern bank of the Danube, at an
elevation of 522 feet above the level
of the sea, with a population of nearly
700,000. The city itself extends along
an arm of the Danube called the ' ' Vi-
enna Canal," whilst its suburbs most-
ly occupy a higher position. The Vi-
enna Canal, in conjunction with ano-
ther arm of the Danube called " Kai-
serwasser" (imperial water), forms an
islet on which the suburb Leopoldstadt
is situated. The most beautiful view
of Vienna is that obtainable from the
top of St. Stephen's steeple ; although,
surveyed from the cupola of St.
Charles, the town presents a greater
number of picturesque groups of build-
ings.
From the summit of the " Wiener-
berg" a general view of the town may
likewise be obtained, and, viewed
from different points of the Kahlenge-
berg as from the Klause, near Nuss-
dorf, the " Himmel," the " Krapfen-
waldchen" and the '' Leopoldsberg,"
three heights in the vicinity of Grinz-
ing, the whole ensemble of the town
may be seen to great advantage.
The circumference of the town, Avith
its thirty-three suburbs surrounding it,
amounts to 60,000 Austrian feet. The
suburbs are enclosed within a wall 12
feet high and a ditch extending as far
as the Spittelau and Erdberg, where
the soil at once declines rapidly to-
wards the river. Fifteen town-gates
are established in this wall, called by
the Viennese ^'die Linie.'^ These gates
are closed at night, but are readily
opened to anybody wishing to pass
either way. The two suburbs on the
island of the Leopoldstadt, comprising
the Taborgate, are girt and protected
by the Danube.
With its 35 suburbs, Vienna con-
tains about 12,000 houses, 52 churches,
15 chapels, 26 monasteries and nun-
neries, and 2 synagogues, without
taking into account its numerous ware-
houses and their dependencies.
The ancient or internal city occu-
pies as nearly as possible the centre of
the town, and covers an area of 20,000
Austrian ft. It was formerly separated
from the suburbs by ramparts 50 feet
high, furnished with 1 1 bastions and a
deep ditch surrounding them. Be-
tween the latter and the suburbs lay
the Glacis, a vast space of open ground
overgrown with grass and planted
with trees, which was in summer a
very pleasant place of resort for walk-
ers, nurses and frolicking children.
These fortifications have been done
away with since 1857, when a decree
from Francis Joseph was issued, or-
dering that the wall should be demol-
ished, the ditch filled up and levelled,
and the glacis built upon. It is owing
to this change that Vienna has so sud-
denly been embellished and now pos-
sesses a street, the Ringstrasse, which
in regularity and magnificence is cer-
tainly surpassed by no other in Eu-
rope.
An hour's walk will easily take the
stranger through the entire "Ring-
strasse," for the old city contains
only 1300 buildings, 140 streets, and
20 squares, one of which, " the Hof,"
is the largest, and measures 426 feet
in length by 231 feet in breadth. The
most remarkable squares, besides this,
are, the " Hoher Markt" (High Mar-
ket), the " Josephsplatz" (Joseph's
Square), the " Burgplatz" (Palace
Square), " Neuer Markt" (New Mar-
ket), "Graben" (Ditch), " Stephans-
platz (Stephen's Square), " St. Mi-
chael's Square," the " Jews' Square,"
the " Freiung."
Of the 12 old gates belonging to the
city, two only remain — the Burgthor
(Palace Gate), and theFranz-Josephs-
thor (Francis Joseph's Gate), be-
tween the Post Office and the Custom-
House.
Characteristic of the town are the
many court passages which establish
communication between the difterent
streets, so that he who is acquainted
with them can greatly abridge his per^
ambulations.

HOTELS.
All the best hotels in Vienna are
in the old city and nearly together ;
and, except at the Grand Hotel on
the Ringstrasse, where there is, be-
sides the restaurant, a good table
d'hote, there are no tables d'hote at any.
Each hotel, however, has a restaurant
attached to it, open to the inmates and
to the public, Avhere the bill of fare is
varied and the cuisine excellent — the
fish, game and puddings being espe-
cially good. It is usual to pay for
each meal at the time, as it avoids the
overcharge and confusion which may
occur if left to be paid with the bill.
Breakfasts are served in the apart-
ments, but most travellers avail them-
selves of the freedom and ease afforded
by the numerous excellent cafes of
the city for that early meal. The
bed-rooms are generally fitted up so
as to serve for sitting-rooms as well,
and are furnished with every conveni-
ence for the double purpose. It is
impossible to give a scale of charges
for this year especially, but it may
fairly be calculated that hotel expenses
at Vienna during the Exhibition will
be at the rate of about double the cost
in London or Paris, and probably 50
per cent, more than at New York. It
will be prudent to ascertain the price
of rooms beforehand ; but very little
difference Avill be found between the
tariffs of the different first-class hotels.
Those of the second-class are not re-
commended.
The hall-porter at these hotels is ge-
nerally a well-informed and intelligent
man, speaking several languages, and
a reliable authority on most matters
of local interest. He takes charge of
letters and parcels, keeps a stock of
postage stamps, the Directoiy of Vi-
enna, time-tables of railways and
steamers, and is well up in hours of
admission to the different Palaces,
Museums and Galleries. He expects a
fee from each traveller proportionate
to the number in the party and the
trouble giA^en. For a single ti'aveller
probably a florin a week, or at most a
florin and a half, will be sufficient.
The principal hotels in Vienna are :
The Grand. — Ringstrasse ; a large
new building, on the American plan,
table d'hote, reading-room, &c., and
has a covered courtyard.
Munich. — Karntnerstrasse, 28; of
high reputation, and charges accord-
ingly.
Ekzherzog Kar l. — Karntner-
strasse, 31.
Stadt Frankfurt. — Seilergasse,
14; a small hotel, well conducted,
with excellent cuisine, and an atten-
tive landlord.
Meissl's. — Kai'ntnerstrasse, 24;
quiet and good.
Oesterreichischer Hof. — •
Fleischmarkt, 9.
Matchakerhof. — Seilergasse, 6 ;
of the same description as the Stadt
Frankfurt.
KaiserinElizabeth. — Weihburg-
gasse, 3 ; very respectable and well
conducted.
Wii/DER Mann. — Karntnerstrasse,
17 ; well spoken of.
Stadt London. — Fleischmarkt, 22;
close to the Post Office, very good.
GoLDENES Lamm. — Leopoldstadt
Praterstrasse, 7 ; the nearest to the
Exhibition Building ; convenient for
steamers.
AVandl. — Petersplatz, 12 ; in the
centre of the city.
Hotel National. — Leopoldstadt
Taberstrasse, 8 ; a large suburban ho-
tel, well spoken of, but distant from
the chief places of resort and attrac-
tion.
It is said that, during the present
year, no less than 16 large new hotels
are to be opened ; probably not more,
however, than will be wanted, for
otherwise the hotel accommodation at
Vienna is but scanty — not by any
means more than sufficient for its or-
dinary requirements, and therefore
totally inadequate to meet the wants
of the enormous influx of strangers
who will this year be attracted by its
Exhibition. Families will do well to
write beforehand to secure apartments.
LODGI]SrGS.
The Exhibition Commission has
given notice that a Central Bureau
46
Vienna.
has been established at Vienna, Liech-
TENSTE1NSTRAS8E 9, where visitors to
the exhibition will always find apart-
ments at from 2, 4, 6, to \Q florins per
diem.
Rents are high in Vienna ; the
rapid increase of the city had some-
what reduced the rate, but again there
has been a rise, and it is impossible to
give any rule or guide. The most
expensive lodgings are those on and
immediately adjoining the Ringstrasse.
A single room, of fair size, furnished
to serve as bed-room and sitting-room,
may, perhaps, be had at from 75 to
IbO fl, per month, and a family apart-
ment of moderate size at from 200 to
400 yZ. per month. The stranger on
arriving, if he has not already secured
his apartments, had better first call at
the " Official Central Bureau" above
mentioned, and also make inquiry of
the proprietor of his hotel.
There are several Hotels Garnis
affording comfortable accomodation,
and more are being prepared. No
city in the world is better calculated
for life in lodgings than Vienna, as
all necessary supplies are abundantly
provided out of doors.
RESTAURANTS.
These are very numerous in Vienna,
and of various degrees of excellence ;
the prices vary greatly, but they are
generally high. A good average din-
ner in a first class restaurant cannot
be had for less than 4 or 5 florins, ex-
clusive of wine, which is not, how-
ever, taken as a matter of course —
6eer, light, cool and spai'kling, being
the general beverage. The Hunga-
rian and Austrian wines are good and
moderate ; French wines are expen-
sive.
The epicure will approve of the
fish, the delicate sturgeon of the
Danube, cooked in a variety of ways —
the schill and the fogasch, all excel-
lent ; the game, which abounds, and
the great variety of puddings and
sweet dishes, in which the Viennese
excel.
As before stated, each hotel has a
restaurant attached to it, and these
are among the best in Vienna ; be-
sides these the following take first
rank ;
The French Restaurant — Herrn-
gasse 8, in the Lichtenstein Palace ;
B RE TING and Mebus, 13 Graben,
Streitberger, Obere, Bachergassct
with a table d^hote and frequented by
ladies.
DoMATERS, at Hitzing, ^ an hour
by train ; large dining hall, and gar-
den where music plays ; good cuisine.
(See the article Hitzing.)
Numerous other restaurants are be-
ing established in view of the expected
influx of strangers for the great
exhibition ; and, like the hotels, they
will undergo great increase of number
and alterations of price and character
this year. The visitor will not have
any difficulty, except embarras du
choix, in the article of food.
CAFES.
In nothing does Vienna show its
rapid increase and improvement more
than in its numerous and handsome
cafes. Half a century back, except
" Daum's," Avhich then was promi-
nent, Vienna scarcely possessed half a
dozen cafes that would satisfy the
most moderate requirements of travel-
lers, the generality of such establish-
ments being then mere estaminets, or
of very inferior description. Now the
Vienna cafes may vie with any in Pa-
ris. They do not in any case combine,
as in Paris, a restaurant with a cafe ;
but they are used for their legitimate
purposes only, coff"ee, tea, ices and re-
freshing drinks. Even the " petics
verves,'''' which form so. considerable
an item of consumption in Paris, here
are ignored or are but little known.
Except at mid-day, from 12 to 2 — the
dinner hour — they are crowded from
early morn. Smoking is universal in
them, one or two cafes alone having a
room for ladies, where smoking is not •
allowed. A few of the principal cafes
are :
Daum's, the oldest, on the Kohl-
markt, No. 8.
Cafe de l'Europe, Stephans-
platz, facing the cathedral, a room up
Beer-halls — Wines — Conveyances.
47
stairs for ladies. Czech, Graben, for
first-class commercial men ; excellent
attendance, abundant supply of news-
papers, English, American, French
and German.
Corte's, Volksgarten. — An excel-
lent band plays here regularly in the
afternoon, when it is much crowded.
The Cafes of the Leopoldstadt
are usually crowded with merchants
and visitors of all nationalities.
The Cafe in the Stadt Park,
on the Park Ring, is the most fre-
quented of all the Vienna establish-
ments. It is known as the Kursaal,
and is a fine building, with a concert-
hall, dancing-saloon, &c. Numerous
tables ai*e placed in the walks, and in
the afternoon it presents a gay and
bustling scene. It is a fashionable
promenade as well as a cafe. The
ices are good ; but fair ladies may
often be seen indulging in the more
plebeian but equally grateful refresh-
ment of beer. Except the delicate
little rolls, for which Vienna is famous,
no food is supplied.
BEER-HALLS.
These are numerous in Vienna —
some of them of very great size. Dre-
her's, near the Opera, is said to ac-
commodate more than 1000 guests.
They are a combination of the French
estaminet, the marchand de inn and
the cheap restaurant. The company
is not select, the attendance indiffer-
ent, and the fare moderate as to
charge, but dear at the price. They
are, however, much frequented by the
Viennese ; the beer that they supply
is always excellent — the Viennese
beer having quite taken the palm from
that of Bavaria, which formerly stood
first in universal estimation. Being
always fresh, light and pleasant, the
quality often betrays the traveller into
forgetfulness of quantity, and glass
follows glass in too rapid succession.
Dreher is the great brewer of Vien-
na ; his beer enjoys the highest repu-
tation. He is said to produce nearly
1300 barrels per day during the sea"son.
His brewery is at Kleine Schwechat,
and is readily shown to visitors. Om-
4
nibus in 40 minutes from the Johannes
Gasse. Dreher has several establish-
ments in Vienna, also in Paris, to
which latter city the beer is conveyed
by special trains and with the greatest
care, so as to present it to the Parisian
amateur in all its excellence.
WINES.
The wines of Austria are good, of
full flavor and body.
Those of Hungary also, although
but little known out of the country,
are of excellent character and quality,
with a wide latitude of price. Little
wine, however, is drank by the na-
tives.
Rome?', in the Lingerstrauss, has a
varied and good selection.
The Esterhazy Keller (Haar Hof),
open from 11 to 1 and 5 to 7, should
be visited ; it is in the Kagler Gasse,
and belongs to the Esterhazy family.
It is literally a cellar, and one of
small dimensions, without the slight-
est attempt at embellishment or even
accommodation. Here the best wines
of Hungary can be tasted in all their
purity.
For a fee of 10 or 15 kr. the visitor
can have a tumbler of any wine or
vintage he may ask for. There are
no waiters.
It is a simple, ordinary cellar vault,
dimly lighted, and a few wooden
benches and deal tables.
An old Avoman retails bread and
sausage ; and an attendant, seated at
a table, receives money, while the cel-
lar men fill the glasses.
As an institution of Vienna it should
be seen ; it is generally crowded. La-
dies may visit the cellar without chal-
lenging observation.
PUBLIC CONVEYANCES.
Tramways. — These are a great
convenience, the carriages are easy,
the fares moderate ; but as there does
not appear to be any police regula-
tion as to numbers, they are often
most uncomfortably crowded even to
the outer platforms, passengers sitting
or standing wherever they can obtain
a footing. The carriages are dirty ;

but great promise is made of better
things for 1873.
Tramway (Pferde Bahn) from the
Praterstrasse by the Ringstrasse, round
the town ; fare 10 It.
To Dornhach Heriials, by Avay of
Franz-Joseph Quay or the Kingstrasse,
fare 20 Jcr.
To Schd'nhrunn and Hitzing, by the
Maria Hilf line, fare 20 kr.
The departures are frequent — the
point of departure being from the Pra-
ter Strasse in the Leopoldstadt, near
the entrance to the Prater.
Omnibuses of an inferior description
(stellwagen), are very numerous to
all the environs of Vienna. There
are, it is said, upwards of 1500 in Vi-
enna, at very moderate fares, from tire
undermentioned places. They are not
allowed to loiter in the streets, are
not clean, and are not to be recom-
mended. The fare within the lines is
10 kr. :
For Dobling, at the Ilof, Fisch-
markt.
Dornhach, at the Hof, Juden-
platz.
Gersthof and Potzleinsdorf, at
the Freiung.
Grinzing, at the Hof.
Haimbach, at the Neumarkt.
Hetzendorf, at the Lobkowitz-
platz.
Hitzing, at the Neumarkt, Ste-
phansplatz, Peter.
Hiitteldorf, at the Nof or Neu-
markt.
Kalksburg, at the Neumarkt.
Kierling, at the Freiung.
Klosterneuburg^ at the Minorit-
enplatz.
Lainz, at the Stephansplatz.
Mauer, at the Lobkowitzplatz.
Neustift, at the Freiung.
Neuwaldegg, at the Hof.
Nussdo7-f, at the Hof.
Penzing, at the Neumarkt and
Peter.
Rodaiin, at the Neumarkt.
Schwechat, in the Johannes-
gasse.
Sievering, at the Hof.
Simmering, at the Stephans-
platz and Wollzeile.
For St. VeAt, at the Neumarkt.
'' Weidling, at the Scliulhof.
A better class of omnibus has been
started from the Stephansplatz to the
Siid-bahn and Nord-bahn terminus and
to the Exhibition Builbing. They
have better horses and are faster than
the ordinary stellwagen ; fare 15 kr.
Fiacres (two horses), with a regu-
lar tariff, a card of which should be
displayed in each carriage, specifying
the fares from the different stations of
steamers and railways, theatres, &c.
This ought strictly to be adhered to ;
but the conscience of the driver is
sometimes very elastic, and it is well,
where it can be done, to let the porter
settle with him ; and in all cases where
he is taken for a drive to the Prater,
or out of the lines, to make a bargain
beforehand. The fare within the lines
is 1 Ji. the first hour, and 50 kr. every
succeeding Aa/fAowr.
Fiacres with one horse ai'e called
" Einspanner,''^ 40 kr. the first 15 min-
utes, 20 kr. every succeeding 15 min-
utes.
Stadtwagen, a very superior class
of carriage, like the " Eemise" of Pa-
ris, or "Brougham" of London.
These are neat and often very elegant
turnouts, difiicult to distinguish from
a private carriage. They are admitted
into court-yards of private houses,
whereas fiacres are not, and are freely
used by ladies and the nobility. The
usual hire by the day is from 8 to 10^.,
but they can be engaged for shorter
periods.
Vienna is thus abundantly supplied
with means of locomotion to suit all
tastes and all pockets.
COMMISSIOTTAIIIES AND
POUTERS.
These are stationed all over the
town ; they are under police regu-
lation, and are trustworthy. They
are numbered, and each commission-
aire, on being engaged, gives a ticket
with a number corresponding with the
one on his badge. Wages, 1 Jl. 50 kr.
per day, 1 Jl. for half a day. A com-
mission in the tOAvn 20 kr., in the
suburbs 30 kr. Some of these men

are above the ordinary class in intelli-
gence.
On arriving at Vienna, the stran-
ger, should he want to walk to his
hotel, may give his luggage to the
charge of one of these commission-
aires, and it will safely follow him.
They are also useful as guides.
Any inquiry or complaint respect-
ing these men should be addressed to
the Direction, 14 Singerstrasse. There
are also commissionaires at the various
hotels always in attendance, who make
a somewhat higher charge ; but being
always on the spot are found very con-
venient.
POLICE.
The Police wear a semi-military
uniform, with swords ; a sort of com-
promise between the brisk sergeants de
ville of Paris and the stolid policemen
of London.
SHOPS.
The shops in Vienna may vie in
richness and elegance \vith those of
Paris or London. The best are to
some extent restricted to the old city,
the Karntnerstrasse, the Graben, Ste-
phansplatz ; but good shops are also
to be found in other quarters.
The Article de Vienne, leather arti-
cles, table bijouterie, art productions,
&c., will be seen in every variety and
in great perfection in the splendid
shops of Klein, Graben 20, whose
wares are universally known ; and it
is said that when he opened a branch
establishment at Paris, the late Em-
peror Napoleon personally visited it,
and thanked Mr. Klein for the favor
he had conferred on the Parisians.
Meerschaum pipes and amber are
specialties of Vienna. Keiss, Graben
16, is one of the most prominent
dealers. Some of the carvings are
beautiful ; the quality of the material
itself is, however, the all-important
consideration, as the prices of to all
appearances the same bowls may vary
from Ijl. to 20 Jl. Amateurs may
safely trust to the judgment of Mr.
Keiss in such matters.
Bohemian glass is another article of
trade in Vienna. A very beautiful
selection can be seen at Lobmetr's
store.
Gloves, silks and shawls are good.
The glove trade especially is brisk ;
they are not cheap, but they are good.
Carriages are cheap ; but since the
introduction of railways they do not
so much interest travellers.
In all dealings at Vienna it is better
to ask prices before deciding ; and,
Avhere the transactions are consider-
able, to have a written contract. It
saves much trouble and many misun-
derstandings.
I
THEATRES.
The theatres are not so numerous
relatively to population as those of
London or Paris. First in rank, situ-
ation and splendor, must be noticed
"The New Opera House," in
the Opera Ring, within a few hundred
yards of the Grand Hotel, completed
in 1869, a magnificent building, and
one of the largest theatres in the
world, containing seats for 3000 per-
sons, perfect in. all respects as to
acoustics, ventilation and all internal
arrangements for the comfort of the
audience, excepting always the upper
boxes, which are inconveniently low
and crowded. The pit-stalls are lux-
uriously comfortable ; the lobby and
staircases are particularly admired,
and are palatial in proportions and
decorations. Between the acts ser-
vants in the imperial livery hand ices
and refreshments to the spectators.
The HoFBURG — immediately ad-
joining the imperial palace, of which
it forms a part — is devoted to legiti-
mate drama, tragedy and comedy ; it
is closed during a part of the season,
July and August.
Der Wi^n. — A large and popular
national theatre in the suburb Wieden,
not restricted to any class of perform-
ance, but giving indiscriminately,
opera, comedy, melodrama or farce.
Karl Theatre, Leopoldstadt — the
theatre of the Viennese population — a
large building commanding always
crowded audiences ; the performances
comprise vaudeville, burlesque, farce,
&c.
50
Vienna,
Thalia. — A summer theatre.
Furst's — Eor the lower class — the
performances are entirely Viennese as
to dialect allusions.
The performances commence usually
at 7, to terminate about IT; seldom
later, often earlier, to enable the
spectators to adjourn to supper. The
prices of admission are various, much
after the Parisian style, so that the
traveller will do well to consult one
of the numerous daily papers, which
furnish all necessary information on
the subject.
DA]SrCIITG-HALLS
(Tanzsalle).
These in Vienna replace the cafe
chantants of Paris and the music halls
of London, and are peculiar to the
city — indeed one of its features ; some
of them are large, elegant and well
conducted ; always with excellent mu-
sic, and generally with a restaurant
attached. They are with few excep-
tions frequented by the middle class
families, and good humor and good
order are the characteristics of the
frequenters.
Schwenders Coloseum — in Rudolfs-
heim (there is a special line of omni-
buses attached to the establishment
which start from Stephansplatz) —
is perhaps the most elaborate and the
best specimen of this class of enter-
tainment.
Sperl — in the Leopoldstadt — is a
much frequented establishment, and
The Sophirnbad Hall (Landstrasse),
the Elyseum (Johannesgasse), are also
in great repute ; but during the sum-
mer months they offer no attractions
to the stranger.
PUBLIC GARDENS AND
PHOMENADES.
The Prater is the park of Vienna,
at the extremity of the Leopold-
stadt, with numerous avenues that
intersect it in every direction. It is
the resort of all classes, from the im-
perial monarch and proud noble to
the lowest inhabitant ; the one resorts
to it to display his splendid equipage.
to see his fellows and to be seen by
them ; the other to enjoy fresh air
and freedom from restraint. There
are elegant cafes for the former, and
beer-houses and sausage-stalls for the
latter ; lower theatres and amuse-
ments of every kind for the people.
On Sundays and fete days it is a
sight to be seen.
The Park is well kept, and this
year it will be the centre of all attrac-
tion, as the Exhibition Building is
within its limits.
The Imperial Garden (Burggar-
ten), east of the Imperial Palace, pos-
sesses two large hot-houses, 406 feet
in length by 46 in height, and a winter
garden, the roof of Avhich rests on
Corinthian columns. Here is to be
seen the equestrian statue of Francis
I. This garden, which abounds in a
great variety of camellias, roses, and
other beautiful and rare flowers, is not
open to the public ; strangers obtain
admission in the morning.
The Town Park (Stadtpark), is the
most recent and most fashionable walk
in Vienna. It is situated on the banks
of the "Wien," between the Kolo-
watring and the Stubenring, and
occupies an area of 40,000 square
fathoms. At the time of the demolition
of the ramparts (1857), it was or-
dered by express command of the
Emperor that a part of the adjacent
glacis should be transformed into a
park. Agreeably to the imperial order,
the new park was laid out in 1862.
That portion of the park situated on
the right bank of the " Wien," is a
place of resort for children ; hence its
name Kinderpark. On the left bank
of the Wien is a pavilion made of east
iron exhibited at the London Inter-
national Exhibition. The corporation
bought it for 3000 florins, and adorned
the park with it. Another ornament
worth seeing is a statue representing
the Danublan Maid, by Gasser.
When in winter the pond is frozen
over, it becomes the place of resort of
fashionable skaters.
The Kursaal in the park is a hand-
some building, and is much frequented
as a caf^ morning and evening} in
Public Gf-ardens — Ohurches.
51
summer the tables are placed in the
garden.
The Augarten, to the north of the
town, was opened by Joseph II., in
1757. On the gate the following in-
scription is read : " Alle.n Menschen
gewidmeter Belustigungsort von ihrem
Schatzer" (Place of recreation dedi-
cated to all men by their friend). This
garden, though little resorted to, com-
mands a nice view and has beautiful
shady walks. In one part of it are
stored up the collections brought over
by the frigate " Novara" on her re-
turn from her long voyage round the
woiid. (1857-1859.)'
The Garden of the People (Volks-
garten), facing the Imperial Garden,
dates from 1824. In the centre of the
garden is a temple, called the Temple
of Theseus, an imitation of that at
Athens, which contains a beautiful
group in white marble," representing
Theseus snbduing the Minotaur, by
Can ova.
The Cafe here is also most popular ;
excellent music being given twice a
w^eek or oftener, by Strauss or other
eminent masters.
CHUBCHES.
St. Stephen' s. — Distinguished
from afar by its lofty and elegant
spire, the Cathedral Church of St.
Stephen's is the most conspicuous and
interesting building in the Austrian
capital. As nothing new can be said
in describing it, the following particu-
lars are borrowed from Murray's
excellent Hand-Book of Southern Ger-
many.
"AH that is lofty, imposing, and
sublime in the Gothic style of archi-
tecture is united in this Cathedral.
Its length is 345 English feet, its
greatest breadth 230 feet. The build-
ing was begun 1359, and completed
1480 ; but the two small towers flank-
ing the west doorway and the part of
the edifice contiguous to them, are the
remains of a previous church built
1147. They exhibit the character of
the Byzantine style of arcliitecture.
Tlie roof is covered with colored tiles,
forming a colossal mosaic of the Aus-
trian eagle. On the outside of the
building there is much rich tracery,
and some curious carvings and monu-
ments. Many restorations and repairs
of the exterior have been made. The
doorways, especially the giant portal,
are beautiful specimens of Gothic or-
nament. From the pulpit of stone, on
the outside of the church erected against
a buttress on the north-east angle of
the north chancel aisle, St. John
Capistran preached a crusade against
the Turks in 1451. The general char-
acter of the interior is gloomy ; but
the height of the nave, the size of the
pillars, the abundance of rich sculp-
ture, the glowing tints and ancient
painted glass, the beautiful forms of
the two rose or Avheel windows, all
contribute to the imposing effect of
this splendid Cathedral.
"The pulpit is deserving of minute
observation, on account of its elegant
and elaborate carved work in stone,
as are also the stalls of the choir. At
the east extremity of the south aisle
is the marble monument of the Empe-
ror Frederick III., ornamented with
240 figures and 4 coats of arms
(1467," 151 3). On a scroll twisted
around the sceptre in the hand of the
effigy are the initials of Frederick's
device or motto, A E. I. 0. U.,
^Ues £'rdreich /st Oesterreich Un-
terthan ; or, in Latin, Jlustria £st
/m per are Orbi ?7ni verso. The figures
in relief around the sarcophagus re-
presented the eight religious establish-
ments which he founded. Near the
west end, on the right of the grand
doorway, is a side chapel called Kreuz
Kapelle, in which Prince Eugene of
Savoy is buried. The south tower,
begun and carried to two-thirds of its
present height in 1359, was completed
in 1423 by Anton Pilgram. It is a
master-piece of gothic architecture,
diminishing gradually from its base to
its summit in regularly retreating
arches and buttresses ; it is 444 Eng-
lish feet high. It is well worth while
to ascend it on account of the view.
It is entered from a small house, No,
873 Stephansplatz, built against the
south wall of the church, on the out-
52
Vienna.
side, where tickets are given out.
High up in the north-west angle is
shown the stone bench from which
the Count Stahreinberg, the brave
Governor of Vienna, during the last
siege by the Turks, used to reconnoi-
tre their camp, as an inscription
placed over the spot bears witness.
The largest bell is made of the 180
pieces of cannon taken from the Turks
after their repulse fi'om the walls ; it
weighs 380 cwt. The view extends
not only over the city and suburbs,
but across the Danube to the March-
feld, and over Napoleon's famous
battle-fields of Lobau, Wagram, As-
pern and Essling. Half way up the
tower is the station of the Fire-watch
for the city, a Avell-regulated establish-
ment. A moderate-sized apartment,
which also includes the works of the
clock, is formed within the tower,
and furnished with windows over-
looking the city. Each window-sill
has a provision for fastening a tele-
scope, whose movements are marked
by the stand on which it is placed,
upon graduated circles placed hori-
zontally and vertically. Registers
have been constructed for each win-
dow, so that the telescope having been
pointed to any object and the corre-
sponding horizontal and vertical num-
bers upon the graduated scale read
off, the name of the object, whether
building or street, is ascertained by
reference to them. Thus a spot where
a fire may break out is ascertained ;
by the aid of the electric telegraph
intelligence is at once conveyed direct
to the fire officers ; and in a very
short time assistance is on its way to
the site of the conflagration.
"The clock in this tower strikes the
hour only ; the quarters are struck
by the watchmen who are posted, day
and night, aloft to give warning of
fires l>y ringing a bell and display-
ing a flag, and at night by holding
out a light in the direction where the
fire has broken out. The magnificent
spire was in great measure rebuilt
after the earthquake of 1519, which
much injured Vienna. An iron bar
was then run up the centre as an axis
for the support of the spire ; but this,
having a tendency to vibrate, instead
of preserving the tower, reduced the
wall nearly to a state of ruin. About
182 feet from the top were taken out
and removed in 1839, and rebuilt in
1842 at a cost of 130,000 gulden.
" The upper part consists entirely of
new work. It is remarkable, as
showing • the calculation and fore-
thought of the original architect, that
the buttress opposite to the side from
which the prevailing wind blows is
thicker than any of the others, to
resist its effects. The north tower,
begun in 1450, was to have been the
same height as the south tower, but
was left unfinished at its present
height, 212 feet.
"There Avas formerly a narrow
church-yard round St. Stephen's,
which will account for the numerous
monuments ; some of them possessing
considerable interest, that are outside
of the edifice, to the height of several
yards. This church-yard was paved
by order of Joseph II. ; the crypt
served as a burial-place of the impe-
rial family from the 14th to the 17th
century ; and even now the curious
practice prevails of interring their
bowels at St. Stephen's, and their
hearts in the Church of the Augus-
tines, although their bodies are de-
posited in the vault of the Church of
the Capuchins."
The Capuchins Church, in the
Neumarkt, is a very plain building,
only to be noticed as containing the
Imperial Vault. It contains amongst
upwards of seventy others, the sarcopha-
gi in bronze of Maria Theresa and her
consort, and of the Duke of Reich-
stadt, the only son of the first Napo-
leon, Avho died at the neighboring pa-
lace of Schonbrunn, at the early age
of eighteen ; as also that of the unfortu-
nate Emperor Maximilian of Mexico.
The Court Chapel is chiefly to be
noticed on account of its church mu-
sic, said to be the finest in Vienna ;
and in the winter the forenoon service
is attended by the imperial family.
St. Augustin's, Augustiner-Str.,
built by Frederick the Handsome in
C]iu7'ches — The Burg Group.
53
1330, pursuant to a voav made during
his captivity. It is chiefl^y remarkable
as containing a master-piece of sculp-
ture by Sconaver. one of his most ce-
lebrated works being the tomb of the
Ai'chduchess Christine, of exquisite
design and n^asterly execution. It
consists of a pyramidical surface of
gray marble, nearly 30 feet high,
against the wall facing the -entrance.
Two groups in white marble are ap-
proaching the entrance of an open
tomb : Virtue bearing an urn, escorted
by two children with torches ; Charity
follows, assisting an old man up the
steps. The execution of the aged man
is beautiful but true to nature. On
the opposite side is a couchant lion,
with a melancholy genius reclining by
his side. The whole work is most
impressive, and will bear close atten-
tion and frequent visits. The sacred
music at this church on Sundays and
f&te days is very fine.
The Chukch of St. Charles
BoRROMEO (Carl's Kirche), at the
Wieden, founded by the Emperor
Charles VI. in 1716, completed in
1737. Its front, surmounted with an
imposing cupola, has at each side a
tower 141 feet high. These towers
contain the bells, and the Avinding
bas-reliefs on them represent different
episodes out of the life of the saint.
St. Salvator's (Votive Church),
situated between the New-Wien and
the Alservorstadt. This church was
founded in commemoration of the
narrow escape of the Emperor Francis
Joseph, who, while walking one day
on the ramparts adjoining his palace,
was rescued from the hands of a would-
be assassin. The sum necessary for
its construction Avas raised by sub-
scription, and realized 1,300,000 fl.
The construction Avas begun in 18.5 6,
and Avell deserves attention. Its tAvo
beautiful and elegant spires have just
been finished.
Maria Steigen, Passau street, a
Gothic edifice of the fourteenth cen-
tury, restored 1820, is considered, after
St. Stephen's, the finest Gothic church
in Vienna.
The new Synagogue is in the Leo-
poldstadt ; it is rich in internal decora-
tion, and should be visited.
The Minorite Church for Ital-
ian Service contains a good mosaic
copy of the ' ' Last Supper' ' of Leon-
ardo da Vinci, Avhich Avill have inter-
est for those Avho have not seen the
original and Avho do not purpose to
visit Milan.
There are numerous other churches
in Vienna, but none deserving par-
ticular attention.
THE BURG GROUP.
The Burg, Imperial Hofburg,
or Palace and residence of the Em-
peror, is a considerable pile of build-
ings neither imposing in elevation nor
distinguished in architecture ; it dates
from various periods and helong to all
ages and to all styles. Externally, it
offers nothing to arrest the eye or de-
mand the attention of the visitor. It
contains three courts or quadrangles,
knoAvn by the names of Franzensplatz^
Schioeizerhof, and Amnh'enhof.
The Imperial Apartments may be
visited Avhen the Emperor is absent
from Vienna, but they are not very
much distinguished by splendor or
costliness. The Rittersaal or State
Room is of handsome proportions.
Some very beautiful pietre dura mo-
saics of great value deserA^e especial
attention ; but in other respects the
apartments are very like all other
apartments in royal palaces.
In the same pile of buildings is the
Imperial Library, containing upAvards
of 300,000 volumes and 16,000 manu-
scripts ; the Oriental manuscripts re-
lating to Eastern history iii Europe be-
ing unequalled. The library contains
besides many rare books of unique
character over Avhich the amateur or
scholar Avill feast his eyes and re-
joice his heart. The reading-room
for reference and consulting the books
is open daily. The collection of en-
gravings and Avood-cuts, also con-
nected Avith the library, comprises
nearly 300,000 specimens of artists
of all times, from the earliest periods
in the history Of the art.
The Cabinet of Natural History,
54
Vienna.
adjoining the Imperial Library, con-
tains a collection of a peculiarly in-
teresting character, and greater in ex-
tent than that of the British Museum
in London. It will be useful to keep
in mind that "the places of origin of the
different specimens are indicated by
the colors of the lines around the labels
or tickets, viz. : America, green; Asia,
yellow ; Africa, blue ; Australia and
South Sea Islands, red; Austria, black;
the rest of Europe no distinctive mark.
The valuable Brazilian Museum.
formed by the late Emperor, is incor-
porated with the Imperial Museum.
Some of the specimens are rare and
curious. The collection of specimens
of the salmon and sturgeon tribe is
said to be very complete. There is
also a collection of comparative anato-
mij, and another of insects. This mu-
seum is open once a week to the pub-
lic, but daily for strangers willing to
pay a small fee.
Cabinet of Minerals, entrance from
Augustiner-gang. — A very fine and
comprehensive collection, well arrang-
ed, and second to none in Europe ;
and it is doubtful if equalled by any.
The specimens are very fine, and some
are unique.
In the last saloon meteoric stones
will excite surprise from their size ;
one found in Bohemia weighing 100
lbs., and another of 71 lbs. is said to
have been hot when taken up imme-
diately after its fall.
The Treasury — A very rich and re-
markable collection of regalia, pre-
cious stones, jewelry, vestments, &c.
The Cabinet of Coins and Antiqui-
ties, adjoining the Mineral Cabinet,
contains antique bronzes, terracottas,
mosaics, ancient and modern gems,
cameos, intaglios, vessels, figures in
precious stones, &c., &c.
It is impossible to enumerate or even
to make selections from the vast trea-
sures of art and nature contained in
these collections ; but the visitor will
not fail to view with gratification the
salt-cellar of Benvenuto Cellini, which
has been the subject of some contro-
versy, but is the undoubted work of
the celebrated artist, and which is
known by report and tradition all over
the Avorld.
This completes what may be termed
the Burg Group, than which a richer,
more attractive and interesting can
nowhere be met with.
GALLERIES.
The Belvedere. — An imperial
chateau not now used as a residence,
consisting of two distinct buildings,
Upper and Lower Belvedere, with a
garden between them, laid out in the
formal old French style.
It was erected by Prince Eugene of
Savoy, who made it his residence, 1724 ;
it is now of interest to the stranger as
containing two of the finest collections
in Vienna.
The Picture Gallery in the ' ' Upper
Belvedere" is well arranged in schools,
and is faii'ly entitled to rank with
those of Dresden and Munich, amongst
the finest galleries in the world.
The paintings are arranged as fol-
lows : —
1st Floor — the Dutch and Italian
Schools.
2d Floor— Old German, Old Flem-
ish and Modern Works.
Ground Floor — Italian, Flemish,
Dutch and Modern paintings and
sculpture. From the terrace in front
of the buildings there is a fine view.
The Ambras Collection, in the
" Lower Belvedere," is a very famous
and valuable collection of ancient
armor, antiquities, paintings, jewel-
lery, articles of vertu and curiosities.
It derives its name from the Chateau
of Ambras of the Archduke Ferdinand
in the Tyrol (Anno 1696), where it
was first formed, and where it re-
mained until 1796. In 1806 it was
re-arranged here, where it forms a
prominent feature of attraction for
visitors. The armor has prominent
place, being said to be, if not the most
complete, at least the most interesting
collection in Europe, and therefore it
may be said in the world. It occupies
three rooms— the first contains eques-
trian armor, most of the articles hav-
ing historical associations of interest
attached to them ; in the second room
Galleries — Libraries.
^5
the armor of German princes, war-
riors and others, and in the third,
Tyrolese, Italian, Spanish and mis-
cellaneous.
The fourth room contains portraits
and busts of the House of Hapsburg
of indifferent execution, but curious as
illustrative of the history of the family.
The genealogical tree of Rudolph of
Hapsburg, kept here, is in the same
way curious and interesting. There
is also a large collection of miscella-
neous portraits.
The fifth room contains works of
art, curiosities and specimens of natu-
ral history, all of Avhich are in them-
selves most attractive and interest-
ing.
The sixth room is devoted to a
gorgeous and rich display of costly
articles : jewels, trinkets, rock crystal,
precious stones, goblets, carvings, sil-
ver-plate, of rare workmanship and
great intrinsic value.
The Imperial Academy of Fine
Arts, open on Saturdays by tickets,
established as a school for all depart-
ments of art, contains a collection of
upwards of 800 good pictures, includ-
ing several Murillos, a Titian, &c.
Albertina. — Palace of the Arch-
duke Albert on the Bastei, one of the
finest collections of drawings and
engravings in Europe, numbering
upwards of 200,000, besides a valuable
collection of maps and plans of battles,
sieges, &c., and a library of 40,000

PUBLIC Al^B PBIVATE
LIBRAKIES.
The following list is taken from a
little local guide published by Messrs.
Ceroid & Sons, the well-known Eng-
lish and foreign booksellers, Stephans-
platz, where travellers will find a large
assortment of books on all subjects, in
all languages ; maps, plans, &c., &c.
Both French and English are spoken
in their establishment.
The Imperial Royal Court Library
(entrance from the Josephsplatz),
was founded by Maximilian I. and
thrown open to scientific men by Max-
imilian II. Charles VI., the great
monarch, caused the building in which
it actually is to be built and adapted it
to the purposes of a public institution.
Its first librarian was Conrad Celtes.
He was succeeded in this appointment
by John Cuspiiiian, Wolgang Laziiis,
and Hugo Blotius, which latter was
the first who had the title of Imperial
librarian conferred upon him. He was
in his turn succeeded by Sebaf;tian
Tengnagel, Peter Lambecius, Gentilotti.
Garelli, the two Swieten, Denis, John
Muller, &c. The most remarkable
acquisitions which the court library
can boast of are : the volumes col-
lected by C. Celtes, John Faber, Bishop
of Vienna, John Sambuk, Sebastian
Tengnagel, Count Albert Fugger; Ty-
cho Brahe, Marquis Cahrega, Kepler^
and Pater Gassendi ; but it may prin-
cipally boast of the collections receiv-
ed from Ambras, of those from the
Archbishop of Valencia, the latter be-
ing lavish in master-pieces of the an-
cient Spanish literature, and the col-
lection obtained from Prince Eugene.

1st. Museum op Geology (Jo-
sephsplatz), comprising nearly 71,000
species and upwards of 500,000 speci-
mens.
This collection, which is very com-
plete, occupies 24 rooms ; it has attach-
ed to it a valuable library.
2d. The Museum of Botany,
University Botanic Garden, contains
upwards of 80,000 specimens and a

Stock im Eisen, at the entrance
of the Graben — a post against the
wall of house No. 1079 is so covered
with nails that there is not room to
insert another ; this is the Stock im
Eisen, and is preserved here as a relic
of olden time. The tradition con-
nected with it is, that it is the trunk
of the last remaining tree of the
Wienewald, a vast forest which form-
erly extended to this spot, now the
heart of the city, and thai the locks and
cramps Avith which it is secured were
manufactured by an apprentice who
sold himself to the devil ! Whether
the transaction with the latter per-
sonage was bona fide fact or fiction
must alvrays remain matter of doubt,
but it became a practice with appren-
tice locksmiths, when setting out on
their travels, to drive a nail into it,
until now no space can be found for
more.
The Imperial Arsenal (Kaiser-
liches Zeughaus), almost adjoining
the Upper Belvedere, a building of
great importance and vast size, con-
taining spacious barracks, vast store-
houses, armories, workshops of great
extent, and the most attractive of its
features for the visitor, a splendid
armory or " Waff"en-Museum," only
recently finished, admirably arranged
and abundantly rich in rare speci-
mens. It is open to the public three
times a week, Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday, from 9 to 3, but during the
season of 1873 no doubt strangers
will be admitted every day.
An excellent description and guide
to the museum, in French or German,
by Major Prosig, can be obtained at
the entrance for 25 kr.
This collection suffered severely in
the years 1805, 1809 and 1848 by the

Vienna.
spoliation of the invader and the
plunder of the mob ; to repair which the
Emperor Francis Joseph I. ordered
that the rich collection of the Chateau
of Luxemburg should 3'ield to the
museum all weapons and armor that
had value or interest, as connected
with military science, archaeology or
art. The Chamber of Venery also
gave up all Aveapons not connected with
the sports of the field, and from these
and other sources of imperial munifi-
cence the collection was enriched to
such an extent that it now includes
(without taking note of the trophies)
upwards of 2000 pieces, most of which
are of considerable value in connec-
tion with the history of civilization,
war and art. The building consists
of a central hall of fine proportions,
richly decorated, forming a vestibule
crowded with portrait statues in mar-
ble of celebrated commanders and war-
riors, and a noble staircase adorned
with frescoes, by which the Salle des
TropMes is reached on tlie first floor ;
this room or hall is richly gilded and
covered with frescoes of no incon-
siderable merit. The tout ensemble
from the entrance is grand and strik-
ing ; perhaps a little overdone with
gold and a profusion of marble, but
certainly most gorgeous and palatial.
On either side of the Salle des Tro-
pMes there are spacious well-lighted
apartments, containing the armory
where the numerous articles are ar-
ranged as much as possible in chrono-
logical order. In the rooms on both
sides the Salle des Trophees will be
found numerous objects of great in-
terest, such as the buif jacket worn by
Gustavus Adolphus, showing the hole
made by the bullet which caused his
death at the battle of Llitzen ; the
standard of Mohammed, taken in
1683 at the siege of Vienna ; the
uniform of Prince Schwarzenberg ; a
balloon used by the French for the
purpose of reconnoitering in the field,
&c. The chapel within the arsenal
wall is also worth visiting. In front
of the building, in the open air, a col-
lection of cannon of all ages and all
sizes will attract attention ; some of
them are curious. Against the wall
of the building there is displayed in
festoons a chain of 8000 links, which
was thrown across the Danube near
Pesth or Buda, by the Turks, to im-
pede the navigation, in the early part
of the sixteenth century. The Manu-
factory of Fire-arms may be visited
by permission, but it is in no way
remarkable beyond other such work-
shops.
The Imperial Stables (Hof-
Stall Gebaude), opposite the Burg
Thor, contains a collection of state
and other carriages, sledges, harness,
saddles, armor and various horse-
trappings and furniture, a miscella-
neous collection not without interest
historically and artistically.
The Civic Arsenal, in the Hof,
contains a collection of armor and
implements of war, and among its
curiosities the skull of the strangled
vizier, Kara ]M;istapha, and the silk
cord used for his strangulation, which
were brought to Vienna from Bel-
grade after its capture.
DANUBE STEAM ISTAVI-
GATION.
Until the year 1830 the Danube
was a silent highway for rafts and
primitive barges only, floating with
the stream, the rapid current of the
river rendering the navigation against
stream impossible. In 1830 its wa-
ters were first moved by a steamer
started by an English speculator, who
had the exclusive privilege granted to
him. At first the progress of the en-
terprise was slow, and many had
doubts of its success 5 but it soon
gained firm footing, and the company
rapidly became prosperous to an ex-
tent not surpassed by any modern en-
terprise. In less than forty years, the
fleet of the company has increased from
a solitary boat to nearly two hundred
of all sizes, for passengers and mer-
chandise traffic from Donauworth in
Bavaria to the mouth of the Danube,
and thence to Constantinople and the
East. Six hundred iron barges of great
size hardly suffice for the growing
traffic of merchandise, and the number
Danube Steam Navigation — Railroads.
59
of passengers for the lower Danube is
dail}'' on the increase, the boats of
the company being clean, comfortable,
well officered and well provisioned.
A novelty for the Viennese this
year will be the introduction of a
small flotilla of omnibus steamers on
the Danube Canal, from the centre of
the town to and from the Exhibition
Buildings in the Prater.
The success of the venture is assured
beforehand, and the establishment will
become a permanent institution of Vi-
enna, which cannot fail to be popular
with all classes during the summer
months.
It is proposed this summer to or-
ganize a system of through tickets for
the I'ound trip by the Danube steam-
ers and their connection with the Aus-
trian Lloyds steamers, to enable the
traveller to vary his return route by
the Danube to Constantinople, Greece,
Athens and Italy at one fare — a tour
of rare beauty, opening up a new
country full of classical and historical
interest, accomplished with such ease
and little cost as will render it a
pleasure trip for even ladies and in-
valids.
The programme is not yet definitely
arranged, but all particulars may be
learned at the offices of the company in
the Landstrasse Dampfschiffstrasse 2.
The Danube service proper begins
at Donauworth and ends at Galatz,
but it has branches on the Theiss from
Tokay and on the Save and the Drave,
and it is in direct communication with
the Austrian Lloyds steamers at Ga-
latz for Odessa, and at Keistendjee
for Constantinople.

RAILROADS.
The Northern Railway (Kaiser
Ferdinand's-iVo?'c?6a/zn) Station is at
the Pratersten. This is one of the
most frequented railway lines in Ger-
many, establishing communications
between the Austrian metropolis and
Northern Germany, Poland and North-
ern Hungary. It runs in a straight
line to Oderberg, where it joins the
Prussian Railway.
The chief offices are at the station ;
the forwarding-office (for tickets and
merchandise, Bauernmarkt 4).
The Western Railway (Kaiserin
Elizabeth- IFesifta^n) opens the com-
munication between Vienna and Up-
per Austria, Southern and Western
Germany.
It is the direct road between Vienna
and Paris.
Chief office at the station outside
the Mariahilf gate ; forwarding-office,
Bauernmarkt 4.
The Southern Railway (Sudbahn)
communicates with the south of the
empire and Italy. The art displayed
in overcoming the difficulties with
which the opening of this beautiful
road over the Semmering was attended,
and its picturesque position, are suffi-
cient attractions to invite the stranger
residing in Vienna to make a day's
excursion to this mountain.
The Southern Railway has branch
lines between Modling and Laxenburg,
and between Neustadt and Oedenburg.
Its station is outside the Eavoriten-
Linie (Wieden) where the Central
Direction has its seat. Forwarding-

ENVIROTTS.
HiTziNG, a village, about 3 miles
from Vienna (train and omnibus),
contains villas and summer residences
of the Viennese, and throughout the
summer is the favorite resort of natives
and foreigners ; it has numerous re-
staurants, cafes and dancing-halls ;
Environs.
61
the restaurants of Domayer and
Schwander have a wide reputation ;
the cuisine at the former is excellent,
and a dinner at 3 or 4 florins will
leave the visitor little to desire. Fre-
quent concerts are given in the gardens
attached to Domayer's, where the
prince and the peasant may be found
daily feasting the senses in close neigh-
borhood. In the Church-yard oppo-
site there is a monument by Canova.
ScHONBRUNN (bcautiful fountain).
The imperial chateau and residence,
one mile outside the Mariahilf lines.
Train and omnibus every few minutes,
this being one of the most frequented
suburbs of Vienna. The Palace offers
little to attract notice ; it is well fur-
nished and kept, and is readily shown.
It has however a melancholy interest
attached to it, the Duke of Reich-
stadt, only son of Napoleon I., having
died here, 1832, at the early age of 21.
The Gardens are of some extent,
laid out in formal French style with
statues, clipped hedges, &c. Stapps,
the student Avho made the attempt to
assassinate the Emperor Napoleon,
was here summarily shot.
The place takes its name from the
beautiful fountain in the garden. On
an eminence is a colonnade and tem-
ple, from which there is a fine view.
The Menagerie here contains a good
collection of animals.
Schonbrunn and Hitzing will occupy
a full morning, visiting the palace
and gardens first, then luncheon at
Domayer's at Hitzing, distant § mile,
where Sundays and f6te days are
good days to see the Viennese in their
glory indulging to their hearts' con-
tent in good music, good fare, light
amusements and beer and tobacco ;
but if there is much fun, there is little
co???/ort, and the traveller should pay his
visit as an observer only on these days.
Laxenbukg, distant one hour by
rail, an imperial residence ; affords a
most agreeable excursion, which may
be combined with that to Schonbrunn.
with which it is connected by a long
avenue, taking the rail first to Laxen-
burg. Here guides are readily met
with, at the entrance to the park, who
Avill be found useful to point out the
many curiosities of the place. The
grounds are well laid out, and the
Feudal Castle of the Lake (a modern
building) is crowded with objects of
interest and curiosities. Several hours
will be spent pleasantly here.
Visitors will find a very fair
restaurant here, where breakfast or
luncheon can be taken.
MoDLiNG and The Bkuhl, by rail
one hour. Modling, a village, 3000
inhabitants, at the entrance of the
beautiful valley of the Briihl. Hotel
indifferent, the Hersch.
From the station to the Meierei or
Farm there is an omnibus in 30 min-
utes, but the traveller will do better to
walk to the Meierei, where there is an
inn. The Briihl is a narrow valley
between rocks, abounding with natu-
ral beauties, and with pleasure-grounds
laid out by Prince Lichtenstein. Some
of the ruins with which it is embel-
lished are artificial, but others are the
remains of feudal strongholds.
In the Alte Schloss, one of the most
ancient castles in Austria, there is
shown the chamber of toi-ture.
The Grounds are freely open to the
public, and afford a most agreeable
place of summer resort, and few stran-
gers visit Vienna without a pilgrimage
to this attractive spot.
Baden, a small town of 4500 in-
habitants; distant from Vienna 1 hour
by rail, less by express, a very pleas-
ant excursion.
Hotels, — Stadt Wien, Redoubt,
Fuchs, — none really good, but a fair
average accommodation.
Baden is much resorted to by the
Viennese during the summer months,
on account of its mineral waters. Nu-
merous mansions and villas belonging
to the imperial family and the nobility
are kept up here, and preserve the
character of the place as a toton, other-
wise it would rank but as a village.
There arc numerous rides and drives
in the neighborhood ; and a pleasant
day may be spent, leaving Vienna
early in the morning, having luncheon
at Baden, and then driving (Jiacres
clean and good abound) for three or

Vienna.
four hours in the environs ; or a day
or two may be quietly spent here as a
relief from the bustle of the city with-
out fear of growing weary.
DoRNBACH, three miles distant —
train and omnibus every ten minutes ;
fare, 8 kr. Dornbach is visited on
account of its magnificent Park of
vast extent, offering a variety of beau-
tiful walks, rides and drives. A fine
view is obtained from the hill, whei-e
there is an hotel or inn, aff^ording rest
and refreshment to the visitor.
On fete days Dornbach is crowded ;
it is a pretty village, abounding with
villas and summer residences for the
wealthy Viennese. There is a good
restaurant in the village, and many
houses of entertainment. On one of
the quiet days the visitor will find it a
calm and enjoyable retreat from the
noise and bustle of the city.
Pesth and Of en. — Few travel-
lers will visit Vienna and not extend
their journey to Pesth, the capital of
Hungary. Buda or Ofen, the old
town, on a hill on the right bank of
the Danube, the seat of government,
and containing the palace of the king,
is connected with Pesth, the new town,
on the left bank, by a handsome sus-
pension bridge. Population upwards
of .200,000 and increasing; the trade
is considerable, and it has numerous
manufactories. It is the finest and most
prosperous city in Hungary, and is a
gay and attractive place. The river
is alive with moving craft, and the
bustle of the commercial part gives
life and animation to the scene. The
sti'eets are wide, with handsome shops,
and two or three days will be plea-
santly spent in visiting the two towns
and the environs. At the National
Casino, near the river, there is an
excellent restaurant. Game is abun-
dant and the fish excellent. A visit
to the cellars of any respectable wine
merchant will not fail to interest the
stranger. Those of Jalichs, an opu-
lent and old-established merchant, are
perhaps the best. Some of his wines
are of great age and rare quality.
At Pesth the traveller is on the
borders of civilized Europe. When
he embarks for the Lower Danube he
meets the pioneers of Eastern man-
ners and customs, and indeed before
leaving Pesth he meets with languages
and costumes unfamiliar to him.
Good panoramic views of the town
are obtained from the decks of the
small steamers continually plying up
and down, to and from the distant
suburban village or town of Alt- Ofen,
to which there is also a train along
the bank of the Danube. The travel-
ler will do well to take the steamer
down to Pesth from Vienna, a day's
journey of about twelve hours ; but
on his return, take the rail, as the up
steamer is tedious and at night, and
stop for an hour or two at Preshurg.
Hotels at Pesth. — Hotel de P Eu-
rope, opposite the landing-place of
steamers ; good restaurant, no table
d'hote.
Queen of England, Erzerzog Stephen,
also on or near the Danube.
Hotel de Hongrie, a new and large
hotel, with upwards of 300 rooms, at
prices from \Jl. 30 hr. to b ji.
The hotels are good, with excellent
cuisine, but somewhat deficient as to
cleanliness and attention. The charges
are high, quite as much as in Vienna.
Presburg. — At one time the cap-
ital of Hungary, and the city where
the kings were crowned. Pop. 42,000.
Hotels. — Griiner Baum, Rother
Ochs, Goldene Rose ; none good, but
sufficient for a meal or short stay.
Presburg has lost all its importance,
and is now a quiet provincial town.
The Royal Palace, on the hill, was
accidentally destroyed by fire a few
years since — its walls only are left.
The Kings of Hungary were crown-
ed in the Cathedral, a Gothic structure
with a handsome porch, but in no
other way remarkable. After the cere-
mony, the king repaired on horseback
to a mound on the other side of the
river, and from its summit brandished
the sword of St. Stephen towards the
four points of the compass, as token or
pledge of his earnestness to defend the
land against all comers.

SIDE ENTRANCE eXHIBITION BCILDINGr.
The Exhibition buildings are situated in the Prater, the public Park of
Vienna, and the finest park, many declare it, in the world. To increase the
available space the Emperor has allowed his own private gardens to be added
to the Exhibition grounds, which thus include within their enclosure some
8,157,200 square feet — being five times the area occupied by the Paris Expo-
sition of 1867, twelve times that of London in 1862, thirty times that of the
original London World's P^^ir in 18.51. and one-fourth less than that of the
pro'posed Centennial Exhibition to be held at Philadelphia in 1876.
(67)
68 The JExhibition.
Of the buildings erected upon this site the principal one is the Industrial
Palace, an enormous structure, more than half a mile in length. Its form
has been likened to that of a " gridiron," and again to that of a " fishbone ;"
with what justice may be discerned by a glance at the accompanying plan.
The long gallery — which, in the fishbone nomenclature, constitutes the spine
— is 2964 feet in length, and 80 feet in width ; and it is crossed at right
angles and at equal distances by sixteen transepts, each of the thirty-two
pavilions which they form having an area of 347 by 50 feet. At the centre
of the long hall are the great rotunda and dome, designed by Mr. Scott
Russell, the engineer of the Sydenham Crystal Palace, and of the Great
Eastern. The dome, as originally projected by him, was to be a stupendous
structure of more than 800 feet in diameter ; but successive reductions brought
down its dimensions to a diameter of 370 feet, which still leaves it more than
double the size of that at St. Peter's at Rome, the next greatest dome in the
world, and a height of 2.50 feet.
The arrangement of diflTerent nations among the exhibitors has been ad-
justed upon a very simple and obvious plan — that of causing them to succeed
one another in the order of their position upon the earth's surface. Thus,
assuming the direction of the grand gallery to be from west to east — though
in fact it is more nearly from north-west to south-east, — the westernmost of
all the transepts — the one, by the way, first entered by persons arriving from
the city — is occupied by North and South America ; next towards the east
comes England, then Prance and Spain, Scandinavia, Germany, and so on,
until at the remotest eastern extremity are found Cliina and Japan. The
rectangles left between the pavilions were, by the original design, to have been
occupied by flower gardens, laid out and adorned in accordance with the taste
and resources of the nations to which they were assigned ; but the great
excess of applications for space beyond the provision originally considered
ample, has involved the enclosing and roofing of many of these areas, Avhich
thus become integral portions of the Exhifcition building.
Of the outlying structures, the most important is the Machinery Hall. This
lies a few rods in the rear of the main building — that is, towards the Danube
— and runs parallel with it, its length being 2600 feet, its breadth 160, It
has been built substantially, being designed for use as a grand railway depot
when the Exhibition shall have closed ; and for the present it is connected
with the main building by covered galleries. In still another building, near
by, are grouped agricultural machinery of every kind ; and others yet are
devoted to exhibitions of fine arts, of horses and other animals, of educational
appliances, while there are also pavilions for the Emperor, the officers of the
Exhibition, the juries, &c., &c.
The objects exhibited are classified, in the official programme, in 26 groups,
as follows : —
Group 1. Mining, Quarrying and Metallurgy.
Group 2. Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry.
Group 3. Chemical Industry.
Group 4. Articles of Food as products of Industry.
Group 5. Textile Industry and Clothing.
Group 6. Leather and India-rubber Industry.
(iroup 7. Metal Industry.
Group 8. Wood Industry.
Group 9. Stone, Earthenware- and Glass Industry.
Group 10. Small Ware and Fancy Goods.
Group 11. Paper Industry and Stationery.
Group 12. Graphic Arts and Industrial Drawing.
The JExhihition. 69
Group 13. Machinery and Means of Transport.
Group 14. Philosophical Instruments, Surgical Instruments.
Group 15. Musical Instruments.
Group 16. The Art of War.
This group includes all objects and contrivances belonging to
the equipment of the army and the relief of the sick and wounded.
Group 17. The Navy.
This group comprehends everything relating to navigation
on the sea, on lakes and rivers, shipbuilding, the fitting out of
ships, the construction of harbors and light-houses, life-boats and
salvage.
Group 18. Civil Engineering, Public Works and Architecture.
In this group will be exhibited the plans and models of executed
or pi'ojected works belonging to roads and railways, aqueducts,
irrigation, drainage, reservoirs, canal and river embankments,
private dwellings -and cottages, and public buildings (Houses of
Parliament, theatres, hospitals, bathing establishments, public
wash-houses, &c.), and also methods of lighting, ventilating and
warming.
Group 19. The Private Dwelling-House, its inner arrangement and
decoration.
Group 20. The Farm-House, its arrangements, furniture and utensils.
In these two groups it is expected that the different nations will
exhibit their peculiar forms and actual conditions of domestic life.
Group 21, National Domestic Industry.
This group is intended to make known the variety and abun-
dance of valuable designs and forms which the productions of
national domestic industry, such as ornaments, potteries, textures,
&c. , contain.
Group 22. Representation of the Influence of Museums of Fine Arts
applied to Industry.
The object of this department is to show the means by aid of
which the modern museums of fine arts applied to industry (viz. :
the South Kensington Museum in London and the similar museums
in Vienna, Berlin, Moscow, &c.) endeavor to improve the public
taste and diffuse artistic education.
Group 23. Art applied to Religion.
This group will contain all the products of industry and the
works of fine arts which are employed in public worship.
Group 24. Objects of Fine Arts of the Past, exhibited by Amateurs and
Owners of Collections [Exposition des Amatenrs).
This group has as its aim to enable the visitor to sec an exhi-
bition of treasures of private collections of Avorks of fine arts,
which are usually accessible only to a limited few, thus giving
students and others engaged in artistic pursuits an opportunity
to gain new ideas.
Group 25. Fine Arts of the Present Time.
This group will contain works of fine arts produced since the
International Exhibition of London in 1862.
Group 26. Education. Teaching and Instruction.
This group will contain —
(a) A representation of all objects and inventions which can
assist in the education of a child and contribute to its physical,
intellectual and moral development, from its birth to its entrance
to school ;
70 The Exhibition.
(6) Educational and school matters, from the elementary school
upwards to the technical school and the University ;
(c) The entire system of instruction and culture, so far as it
can be brought into view by products of literature, of the public
press, societies, public libraries, graphic and statistical records.
The principal features of the Exhibition are likewise set forth by the pro-
gramme.
There Avill be competitive trials of machinery, apparatus, processes and
methods of work of different dates, showing their successive improvements ;
for example : sewing-machines, weaving-machines, telegraphy, photography,
&c. An attempt will thus be made to give an epitome of the history of
inventions. In addition to this, an attempt will be made to place side by side
the productions of machines and handwork, and to show how in some cases
machines have superseded handwork, while in others they have aided and
increased its products.
By exhibiting also analogous products of industry, manufactured at differ-
ent epochs, with their relative prices and with samples and models, it is
intended to show the growing power of different industries, their dependence
on the changes in taste, and their influence upon taste, as well as their import-
ance in national economy at different epochs, thus exhibiting the history of
industry.
To show by a retrospective vicAV the influence of science on the progress and
development of manufactures, there will be exhibited the gradual conversion of
waste into use, or the increase in the employment of the former, by comparing
the waste Avith the articles manufactured therefrom, and also the intei-mediate
products, so far as these arc the result of inventions and discoveries since the
first International Exhibition of London in 1851.
A further aim in this Exhibition is to give the history of prices ; to exhibit
from the chief districts of production the prices of more important articles,
going as far back as possible, and placed side by side in average periods of five
years, and illustrated by samples and specimens.
To show the international exchange of products, a representation of the com-
merce and trade of the world will be formed. For this purpose samples and
specimens of the articles of trade and commerce of all the important harbors
and seaports are to be exhibited. On each sample will be marked its origin,
its destination, its price and value, the quantity of import and export, &c. ;
along with these will be shown statistical and graphic tables, the movement
of the navigation and commerce of each seaport during the last ten years.
The intention just expressed of aiding the study of this Exhibition by the
help of statistical and graphical tables will be carried into effect in all the
departments of the Exhibition, by showing the industrial progress made by
each country since the first International Exhibition of London in 1851, from
official records. For example, there will be exhibited tables of the increasing
areas of cultivated soil, the annual quantities of agricultural products, the
value of the land, the interest on money, the traffic and capital of railways,
the increase of population, &c., as they have appeared at each of the periods
of subsequent international exhibitions, viz. : I'aris 1855, London 1862, Paris
1867. Thus there will be shown the productive powers of different nations in
the respective departments assigned to their products in the Exhibition build
jng. On the other hand, all particulars of the different articles to be exhibited,
such as the name of the exhibitor, the description of the objects, the price
(which the exhibitor is at liberty to attach if he please), may be shown on
labels attached to each article. In the same manner all other informations
'jf public interest the exhibitor may wish to have published, such as the history
and importance of the establishmept, its progressive development, its annual

production, may also be written or printed and annexed to the objects exhib-
ited, in contradistinction to former international exhibitions, which confined
these informations to the printed catalogue.
For the purpose of rendering this Exhibition especially instructive and
educational, it is intended to make comparative trials and experiments on
processes new or hitherto little known. The value of objects exhibited will
be submitted to practical tests. For example, experiments will be made re-
garding the production of wines (application of the hydro-extractor, lieating
of wines, &c.), trials with machine-tools of every description, application of
the electric light, utilizing of aerostation (captive balloons, &c.), experiments
with explosive materials, with steam-ploughs, transmission of power by wire
ropes, locomotives, engines on common roads, steam fire-engines, &c. Lec-
tures will be given on these subjects in a special lecture-room of the Exhibi-
tion, and international prize problems issued ; as for example, on the best
implements for the cultivation of beet-roots for the fabrication of sugar.
Arrangements will be made for a series of temporary international exhibi-
tions of such articles which, by their nature, do not admit of an exposition of
long duration. They will comprise : —
Living animals — horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, fowls, game,
fish, &c.
Poulti-y, venison, butchers' meat, pork, &c.
Dairy produce — milk, cheese, &c.
Vegetable produce — fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, flowers, plants, &c.
Living plants injurious to agriculture and forestry.
72 The ExJdhition,
Dynamometric experiments will be made on the tractive force of animals.
Also international races at the time of the Exhibition of thoroughbred horses
will take place, and for these races prizes will be awarded. Representations
of all other kinds of sports (regattas, &c.), and also national games and plays
will be arranged. Some of these temporary exhibitions will give rise to prac-
tical experiments and practical discussions on the matters to which they refer.
For example : the exhibition of dairy produce will give rise to a series of ex-
periments on the improvements in manufacturing butter and cheese, &c. To
enable the public to appreciate alimentary substances exhibited, refreshment-
rooms (tasting pavilions) will be erected, where each exhibitor can sell sam-
ples of his products, even in the shape of cooked food.
During the Exhibition various international congresses and conferences will
be arranged for discussing important matters, to which either the Exhibition
itself may give rise, or specially selected as subjects of international discussion.
More especially there will be international congresses of men of science,
teachers and artists, physicians, directors of museums of fine art applied to in-
dustry, teachers of drawing, architects, engineers, representatives of chambers
of commerce, economists acquainted with the questions relative to banking and
insurance, of agriculturists, foresters, mining engineers, &c. Among ques-
tions subject to such discussion will be the following : The question of intellec-
tual property, of the improvement of public taste, of the promotion and diffu-
sion of arts of design, on economy of transport, on obtaining the highest
efficiency of machines, on the extension and development of forest statics,
on reducing the price of food, whether by increased production, better organiz-
a;|ion of markets, reformed cookery or new methods of preserving food; on the
nourishment and early rearing of an infant, on early healthful training and
gymnastics, on the exertions of our time in regard to the curing of deformed
children, on the education of woman and improvement of her social condition.
An International Jury will be appointed to award the prizes. Each exhib-
itor must declare whether he wishes or not to submit to the judgment of the
Jury. If not, the object exhibited will be ticketed " Hors concours^' (not for
competition).
The awards granted by the Jury will be as follows :
A. For the Fine Arts the prize will be given in the form of a Medal for
Fine Ai-ts.
B. For the other objects exhibited the prizes will be as follows :
(a.) Exhibitors in former universal exhibitions will receive for the pro-
gress they have made since the last Exhibition a Medal for Pro-
gress.
(6.) Exhibitors for the first time taking part in an Universal Exhibition
will receive as reward for the merit they have shown in a national
economical or technical point of view the Medal for Merit.
(c.) Exhibitors whose productions fulfil all the conditions of refined taste
in color or in form will have the Medal for Taste.
(d.) There will also be given Diplo^nas of Merit, similar to the honorable
mentions of former universal exhibitions.
C. The assistants and workmen who, according to the statements made by
the exhibitors, have taken a notable part in the production of a rewarded ob-
ject, shall have the Medal for Co-operation.
D. The merits of individuals or corporations who have promoted the education
of the people, the development of industry or the national economy, or have
specially promoted the intellectual, moral and material welfare of the working
classes, shall be rewarded by special Diplomas of Honor.

The above table does not give all the denominations of coins in the various
countries through which the traveller to and from Vienna may pass, but only
the standards from which the values of other coins may be deduced.
AUSTRIAN MONEY.
It was stipulated at the monetary convention held in Vienna in 185.5, that
the Austrian empire should henceforward adopt a monetary system more in
conformity with the value of that of the other Confederate States of Germany.
According to the new system, a pound of fine silver is equal to 40 fl. new
Austrian currency, or to 30 Prussian dollars (Thaler), or to 52 tiers. 30krzrs.
currency in Southern Germany. One Prussian dollar is therefore equal to l^^
Austrian florins, or to If florin of Southern Germany.
An Austrian florin has 100 kreuzers (copper money).
AUSTRIAN GOLD COINS.
The Gold Crown is worth
" Double Gold Crown is worth
*' Ducat "
7 fl. 00 kr.
14 fl. 00 kr.
4 fl. 70 kr.
AUSTRIAN SILVER COINS.
There are in silver : coins of 2 florins ; of 1 fl. 50 kr. (Vereinsthaler) ; of
1 flor. ; of I flor. (50 krs.) ; of I flor. (25 krs.) ; of 20 krs. ; of 10 krs. ; of
5 krs.
Copper coins are of 4 krs., 1 kr. and | kr.
There are yet a few coins in circulation belonging to the old monetary sys-
tem called " Conventional Currency;" such are : the 2 florin silver coins*
equal to 2 fl. 10 krs. of the actual currency ; 6 conv. krs. current for 10 krs.
new currency, and the 3 kr. bits worth 5 krs., new currency. All silver coins
bearing upon them the date !858 belong to the old monetary system.
Austrian bank-notes of 1, 5, 10, 50, !00 and 1000 florins are current
throu<ihout the empire, but the bank not exchanging its paper for coin, it re-
sults that the latter, whether gold or silver, is submitted to an agio (about 12

per cent.) which varies daily according to the greater or lesser demand for it.
Since a few years, however, the state of the Austrian bank has considerably
improved, and it is generally believed and hoped that the agio on gold and
silver Vvill soon entirely subside.
Bills drawn from Vienna or other points upon Paris, London, the United
States, &c., &c., are of course subject to the current rate of exchange.

[The numbers in tlie left hand column represent the Bezhhes or Districts, and
the figures and letters in the right hand column indicate the location on the map.
For instance, if it is desired to find " Graben — Bezirke I., location 5 D," a reference
to the map will show that Berzirke I is Innerstadt ; now look at the top of the map
for the column marked 5, and at the side for the one marked D, and in the square
formed by the intersection of the two, Graben wilt be found.]

THE NEW YOEK TRIBUNE.
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE strives now, as it has striven heretofore, to be first
of all and pre-eminently a newspaper. In the promptness, accuracy, fullness, clear-
ness, interest, variety, and convenient and attractive arrangement of its news, its ambition
is to be the foremost journal of the world.
Years of patient labor and costly preparation have created for it extraordinary facili-
ties for the collection of intelligence both at home and abroad. Not only the common
events of the day, but the tendencies of popular thought and the currents of political,
social, intellectual and religious discussion are faithfully reproduced in its columns. Its
correspondents watch the growth and development of American communities ; the pro-
gress of republicanism in Trance and Spain ; the spread of democratic principles in Eng-
land and Germany ; the ferment pervading the whole Continent, caused by the conflict
between the advances of physical and social science and the philosophical, theological,
and material ideas of a past epoch ; the exciting race between Great Britain and Russia
for the supremacy in Asia ; the wonderful awakening of Japan ; and the progress of
European and American civilization in China. la all the great centres of activity The
Tribune has its agents, and no expense is ever spared to give its readers the fullest and
quickest intelligence of what passes in every quarter of the globe.
American industry receives now, as always, a large share of THE TRIBUNE'S attention.
The successes, the trials and the wants of the productive classes are studied with par-
ticular care. The progress of Invention and of Labor-saving contrivances, the develop-
ment of our resources, the preservation of our Public Land for the Landless, the utiliza-
zation of our vast mineral resources, the extension of facilities for bringing producer and
consumer together, receive from this paper the fullest attention and encouragement.
To scholars and to men of the learned professions and of studious leisure THE TRIB-
UNE endeavors to make itself especially acceptable. It has excited a widespread interest
by the publication of full reports of the most valuable lectures, scientific and literary,
and its careful and comprehensive summaries of scientific news, reports of discoveries
and explorations, narratives of voyages, full record of the proceedings of learned socie-
ties, and attention to the cause of school and university education. While it can point
to the admirable accounts of the discoveries and labors of Agassiz, prepared for it by ex-
President Hill ; the reports of scientific and agricultural conventions from the pen of
Prof. D. C. Gilman; the papers of Prof. E. L. Youmans; and the contributions of Prof.
Spencer F. Baird, of the Smithsonian Institute, any more elaborate programme of its in-
tentions would seem superfluous.
In politics THE TRIBUNE is the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective of Race, Na-
tivity, or Color. Independent of partisan ties, but firm in its devotion to Republican
principles, it endeavors to fulfill the ideal of its illustrious founder, Horace Greeley, as
the advocate of that national policy to which the preservation of the Union is owing, but
the frank and fearless enemy of wrong, whether in the Republican party or in any
other. It defends its convictions to the extent of its ability ; but in its news columns it
remembers that its readers have a right to see both sides of every controversy, and to
get the whole truth of every question, whether it tells for or against the political theo-
ries of the conductors of the paper.
And finally, THE TRIBUNE holds that the new era of journalism which is now dawning
must be distinguished by decency of language, candor of statement and moderation in
[12]
1873.— VIENNA HAND-BOOK ADVERTISER.
debate. It eschews the coarse invective and vulgar insolence which have so often marred
the political controversies of the past ; it avoids slanders and personal quarrels ; it is a
paper for gentlemen and ladies — fit for the parlor, the study, an^ the borne fireside,
rather than the bar-room. In its editorial department it commands the pens of many
of the ablest, most thoughtful and most brilliant writers whom the newspaper profession
has yet produced; and it constantly aims at a higher literg,ry standard and a wider and
wider culture.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE contains a careful summary of news, a very large propor-
tion of agricultural information, a careful selection of literary and miscellaneous reading,
and the cream of the correspondence and editorial matter of the Daily Edition.

The Evening Post continues to be, as it has been for seventy years,
the earnest advocate of national unity, of popular government, of
the purest public morality, of equal rights for all men, of freedom
in opinion, in speech, and in trade. It is not a partisan journal, but,
holding the essential principles of the Republican party to be true,
it has warmly supported the candidates of that party whenever they
have fairly represented its principles. It will still contend for equal
rights against all forms of slavery and proscription •, for civil service
reform 5 for the distribution and responsibility of power ; for
economy, honesty and fidelity in the administration of public crusts ;
for the elevation of the masses through the reconciliation of Capital
and Labor ; for the spread of intelligence and education ; and for
the cause of the whole people against all factions, monopolies and
personal ambition. Freely criticising the public acts and views of
statesmen in both parties, it will always be resolute in its devotion
to principle.
The Evening Post aims to supply all that intelligent families can
desire in a newspaper. Every noteworthy event is chronicled in its
telegraphic and other news columns as it occurs, making them a con-
tinuous history of the world. No sentence is admitted into any part
of the paper which may not properly be read in the family circle.
Its literary intelligence, and its notices and criticisms of all that is
new in literature and art, will be full, able and impartial. Its scien-
tific department is enlarging as popular interest in such subjects
extends and deepens, and will receive frequent contributions from
the highest scientific authorities in the country. The correspondence
of the Evening Post from all parts of Europe and of this country,
is full, varied and able, and it is steadily improving. Its financial
and commercial reports are well known for their accuracy and impar-
tiality. Its agricultural information is complete and trustworthy
Its shipping news, its court reports, and its annals of all public
events are prepared with the utmost care.
We will supply the Evening Post as follows :
Daily, one year, $12, or $1 per month ; Semi-Weekly, one year,
$3 ; Weekly, one year, $1 50.
The Postage, which must be prepaid, is as follows:
To England or France, 2 cents per copy.
To Germany, 3 cents per copy.
To Austria, Italy, or Belgium, 4 cents per copy.

GRAND CMTRAl BOTH
NEW YORK CITY.
The Proprietor of the Grand Central Hotel takes great pleasure in
announcing to the travelling public and the community generally, that after
two years of incessant labor and an expenditure of two millions of dollars,
the above mammoth marble Hotel is now completed, and open for the recep-
tion of guests=
The great advantages of this Hotel, with reference to its superior location,
its vast size, unsurpassed accommodations and magnificent resources, render
a statement of its claims to public patronage appi'opriate in this circular.
It is situated on Broadway opposite Bond, and occupies nearly the entire
block between Bleecker and Amity Streets, including the following numbers :
667, 669, 671, 673, 675 and 677, of that thoroughfare, and 204 to 216 inclusive,
on Mercer Street.
It is eight stories in height, and embraces more area than any hotel on this
continent or in the world, and is capable of entertaining 1500 guests. It
(16)
1873.— VIENNA HAND-BOOK ADVERTISER.
contains 630 rooms, 200 of whicli are en suite of from two to four eaeh suite,
provided with large pantries, wardrobes, bath-rooms and closets, including
hot and cold water in each, the remainder varying in size and location, which
only a Hotel of such magnitude could possibly offer.
Its entrances, of which there are four, are broad and spacious, and lead to
no less than five wide and commodious stairways, the main and principal one
being entirely of marble.
In connection with the first floor, there are two large and powerful steam
elevators, capable of conveying guests to the highest story, in 30 seconds,
with intermediate rests on every floor.
The three extensive Dining Rooms seat 600 guests at one time. The vast
resources of the establishment in efficient servants, permitting that division
of labor so essential to a prompt and impartial attention to the wants of all.
The furniture of the Hotel is of the newest and most elegant character,
having been manufactured expressly for this house.
The carpets were made to order in Europe, of the richest and most expensive
material, being of Axminster and Wilton. The parlor carpets were especially
designed to add to the almost Eastern splendor of the Hotel, while the heaviest
of French plate glass mirrors, together with the richest and latest ornamental
furniture, add to the reception rooms and parlors all that the taste, the comfort
and happiness of the guests could require.
Beneath the Gtrand Exchange is the Billiard Room, containing 18 tables,
all new and of the most celebrated make.
Attached to the Hotel is a Newspaper Depot, Telegraph Office and Railroad
Ticket Office, combining all the requisites and requirements of a great and
public enterprise.
It is in the very centre of the great retail houses, including the celebrated
one of Messrs. A. T. Stewart & Co., making its location one especially adapted
to the wants of a large portion of the travelling public.
Notwithstanding all these great and unequalled advantages in location,
accommodation, and even splendor, the proprietor wishes to say that the terms
for board and rooms are only from $3 to $4 per day, according ta the location
of apartments.
He believes this will fill a great vacancy now felt by the public, where the
highest comforts and first-class accommodations are offered at prices to meet
the demands of the great Mercantile community and Families, which never
before has been fully supplied.
Hoping to meet the approval and endorsement of the general public, and to
prove worthy of their long and continued patronage, he respectfully and cor-
dially invites an examination and trial of the superior comforts, accommoda-
tions and advantages above set forth.

PROPRIETOR.

UNITED

1776.-lnternational Exhibition— 1876.
IN
Commemoration of the One Hundreth
Birthday of the Nation.
The Congress of the United States of America, having enacted that an International
Exhibition should be held in the City of Philadelphia in 1876, public attention is now
invited to the proposed programme.
This Exhibition is to be international and universal — international, inasmuch as all
nations will be invited t j participate in it ; and universal, because it will include a repre-
sentation of all natural and artificial products, all arts, industries, and manufactures, and
all the varied results of human skill, thought and imagination.
The outlines of a simple yet comprehensive classification have been adopted. There
will be ten departments, each subdivided in ten groups, and these again into classes.
These details of this classification are now being elaborated, and will be published in due
season, together with such rules and regulations as may be found necessary for the proper
conduct and management of the exhibition.
It is intended that ample space shall be assigned to each state, territory, and foreign
country, for a just and proper display of their products. It is belived that not less than
fifty square acres of floor space, under roof, will be required for this purpose. A site
combining the advantages of a sufficient extent of level ground, with picturesque and
cultivated surroundings, easy of access by rail, water, and by ordinary roads, has been
assigned for the buildings and grounds at Fairmount Park, in the City of Philadelphia.
The Exhibition to be
opened on Wednss av,
April 19th, 1876, with ap-
propriate ceremonies, in
which the President of th e
United States, the Mem-
bers of the Cabinet, Gov-
ernors of States, Senators,
Hon. JOSEPH B. HAWLE7
President.
etc., together with Repre-
sentatives of all Foreign
Nations, will participate.
A cordial invitation is
extended to every Nation
of the F-arth, to be repre-
sented by its Arts, Indus-
tries, Progress and De-
velopement.

OOKS OF TRAVEL
SAUNTERINGS.
By Charles Dudley Warner, author
of " My Summer in a Garden." 16mo.
$1.50.
" This book contains a little about Eng-
land and France, more about Switzer-
land and Holland, and a great deal con-
cerning South Germany and Italy. It is
uniform with H. H.'s 'Bits of Travel,'
and is not so unlike that book as it is
different from most books of travel.
There ,is not a dull page in it ; but it
glows with a quiet drollery and a genu-
ine wit that is refreshing, and not pro-
voking, as wit too often is." — Springfield
Republican.
THE LANDS OF SCOTT.
By Jambs F. Hunnewell.
1vol. 12mo, $2.50.
"It is a delightful epitome of the great
author's life and works ; the reader being
introduced to a detailed acquaintance
with these, while he is led through the
localities which the genius of Scott has
celebrated. Those who cannot cross the
ocean will visit the scenes of his living
romance in its pages ; and those who can
may double their pleasure by making
this volume their cornpagnon de vcyage."
— Buffalo Courier.
VENETIAN LIFE.
By W. S. HowELLS. 12mo. $2.00.
"Mr. Howells deserves a place in the
first rank of American travellers. This
volume thoroughly justifies its title ; it
does give a true and vivid and almost a
complete picture of Venetian life." — Pall
Mall Gazette.
ITALIAN JOURNEYS.
By W. S. Howells. 12mo. $2.00.
"The reader who has gone over the
ground which Mr. Howells describes
will be struck with the life-like fresh-
ness and accuracy of his sketches, while
he will admire the brilliant fancy which
has cast a rich poetical coloring even
around the prosaic highways of ordinary
travel." — New York Tribune.
BITS OF TRAVEL.
ByH. H. 1vol. 16mo. $1.50.
"Some one has said, that if one could
open the mail-bags and read the women's
letters they would be more entertaining
than any books. This volume is an open
mail-bag, for-warded from Germany or
Rome, or the Tyrol. The faded wonders
of Europe turn out to be wholly fresh
when seen through a fresh pair of eyes,
and so the result is very charming." —
T. W. HlGGINSON.
UPS & DOWNS ON LAND
AND WATER.
By Augustus Hoppin.
$10.00.
Oblong folio.
" ' Ups and Downs on Land and Water'
is fairly an outbreak of graphic genius.
It consists of a pictorial delineation of
picturesque places, and humorous char-
acters, seen or encountered in the Euro-
pean tour through England, France,
Switzerland, and Germany." — Appleion's
Journal.
CROSSING THE
ATLANTIC.
By Augustus Hoppin. Oblong folio.
$5.00.
'" Crossing the Atlantic' is entirely
distinct from ' Ups and Downs by Land
and Water,' but is of the same artistic
excellence and humorous suggestive-
ness. The salient features of an ocean
steamer's voyage, its discomforts, amuse-
ments, and picturesque incidents, are
delineated with graphic skill and de-
lightful effect."
SIX MONTHS IN ITALY.
By George S. Hillard. 16mo. $2.00.
" A charming book, which has become
a sort of manual for travellers who visit
Florence and Rome."— Geo. Ticknor.

EXTRACT FROM PREFACE
TO THE
Index Register."
ALTHOUGH, no doubt, many of the cases mentioned in this volume
have been disposed of and many others are insignificant in amount,
sufficient remain to reward the labor of research, as the amount of money
unclaimed, disputed, or in abeyance in Great Britain and its dependencies
may be calculated, not by millions or tens of millions, but by hundreds of
millions of pounds sterling. These figures at fii'st startle the reader, but
reference to a few facts will modify the doubt which at first sight may
arise.
In a parliamentary return of the Court of Chancery, the amount of
stock and securities unclaimed, exclusive of suitors' cash, is stated to be
In the year 1850 there appeared a report on the defalcations of the
registrar of one of the Supreme Courts of India, showing the misappropria-
tion of upwards of 682,905 rupees, and in another case upwards of
500,000 rupees, out of funds in their hands, from unclaimed estates, the
value of which may be guessed at from the above items of deficiency only.
Another parliamentary return, as to prize money, contams an item,
showing that a very large sum has been withheld from the captors, which
now amounts, with interest, to upwards of ;i^6oo,ooo.
In the year 1804 a firm of army agents became bankrupt, and a
sum of ;i^66,ooo and upwards was paid to the Crown, for dividends accru-
ing to officers, creditors under the estate, now receivable by their
representatives.
The above are but a few random facts and figures out of many
within reach of every one, and will give some idea of the magnitude
of sums involved in the words "Unclaimed" or "Disputed;" and when
it is considered that the Bank of England, the East India House, the
Treasury, the Court of Chanceiy, the Courts of Bankruptcy and
Insolvency, the Army and Navy Prize and Pay "Offices, and numerous
other quarters, have unknown but very large sums coming under that
denomination, the surprise will cease at the statement of hundreds of
millions of money unclaimed not being a fiction, but a fact.
