How the Popular Viennese Dance Was Made Fashionable. | The origin and history of the Viennese waltz? Iam only a musician and a com- | poser, and have little of the historian | about me, but I will tell you what I know. The Viennese waltz, at present the favorite dance all over the world, was until ablgieks five y o known and practiced ver le of the im- | berial city | on ‘the blue Danube. Its | world-wide fame dates from 1814, when the European congress met at Vienna, | after the first fall of Napoleon, and | while the French Emperor was an exile at Elba The Prince de Ligne, who represented Louis XVIIL of France at the congress, was out one night with Prince Metter- nich, the all-powerful Prince, Minister of Austria, on an exp i New York would be called “‘seeing the elephant,” and the two Princes wound up by visiting the ‘‘Nperl,” at that time a very famous dance hall in Vienna. There the Prince de Ligne saw the real Viennese waltz danced for the first time, and he was so charmed with it that he introduced it at the next enter- tainment which he gave to the diplo- matic corps. Thus the waltz, which | so far had only been popular, became at once fashionable. Other diplomats imitated the example of Prince de Ligne, and it took only a very short time before all the capitals of Europe had adopted the Viennese dance. So impressed was the Prince de Ligne with the originality of the dance and its slow but fascinating movements that when the congress spent its time in endless debates without purpose he uttered the historical words: Le Congres ne marche pas; il ralse, (The congress does not get ahead; it waltzes round and round.”) During the first half of this century three composers, Lanner, Gungl and Johann Stra: my father, all three Austrians, have impressed the artistic stamp on the waltz. The number of their imitators is legion, but whenever they have failed to follow in the foot- steps of the pathfinders their works have been unsuccessful. Of the three sons of Johann Strauss, Johann, Joseph (who died in 1870) and myself, the youngest, the world is pleased to say that we have inherited some of the artistic temperament of our father. We have certainly been indus- trious, for we have published nearly eight hundred pieces of dance music, the majority of which have become very popular. — Eduard Strauss, in N. Y. Journal. A VOLCANIC ISLAND. Vesuvius Dwarfed “by Iceland's Terrible Lava Floods. There is no country in the known world where volcanic eruptions have been so numerous as in Iceland, or have been spread over so large a surface. No part of the isle is wholly free from the marks of volcanic agency, and it may be truly called the abode of subterrane- ous heat. Vesuvius is dwarfed into in- significance by the twenty volcanoes of Iceland, all of them larger. The lava flood at the last eruption in Iceland, in 1875, has been computed to contain 31,- 000,000,000 of cubic feet, while the largest eruption of Vesuvius oa record, that of 1794, only threw out 730,000,000 of cubic feet of lava. Some of the Ice- landic lakes are studded with volcanic isles, miniature quiescent Strombolis. whose craters rise from bases green with a prolific growth of angelica and grasses. Even in the bosom of the sea, off the coast, there are hidden volcanoes. About the end of January, 1783, flames were observed rising from the sea about thirty miles off Cape Reykjanes; they lasted several months until a terrible eruption commenced 200 miles away in the interior, when they disappeared. A few years ago rocks and islets emerged from the sea in this place. Another volcanic feature is the Solfatara valleys. plains studded with a number of low, cone-shaped hillocks, from whose tops jets of steam ascend. In other places boiling mud issues from the ground six to eight feet into the air, asin New Zea- land. Standing on the feeble crust where literally fire and brimstone are in incessant action, having before your eyes terrible proofs of what is going on beneath you, enveloped in vapors, your ears stunned with noises, is a strange sensation. Asto the hot springs, those in Reyk- jadal, though not the most magnificent, are perhaps the most curious among the numerous phenomena of this sort in Ice- land. On entering the valley you see columns of vapor ascending from differ- ent parts of it. re is a number of apertures in a sort of platform of rock. ris at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, s twoor three feet into the j air. Avriver flows through the valley, | inthe midst of whicha jet of boiling | water issues with violence from a rock raised but a few feet above the icy-cold water of the river. Not far from this place is the grotto or cave of Surt, which is so large that no one has penetrated to itsinnerend. In forming these scenes nature seems to have deserted all her | ordinary operations and to have worked only incombining the most terrific ex- tremes which her powers can command. Nor is she yet silent. of ages the fires of the valeano still } burst out among the regions of eternal | snow, and uous thund the geysers ues to disturl Stillness of the rounding solitude.— | Murray's Magazine.
