The Noue Welt---anu—Life-—-Liq- uor, Beer; and Water, American Mixed Drinks---Polite- nesg-==Stock-Gambling, Vienna Letlera to the Raitimore Amerfcan, JONALS AND MARBIAGE, A men'swoaltluis often estimated in Vionna by tho munber of mistronsen be Leeps, and tho mngnificonco of their equipages, dinmonds, sud drossos. *Thore s no city in tho world, not evon ®aris, thet can rival the motropolis of Austrin in pensunlity and immorality, and in thoso re- ‘epoots thero is o universalily of sentimout thnt s quito remarkable, Thevo are no cstablish- wments in Vionnn, howover, like those which have provod such a nuisanco to the citizons of ‘tho Enstorn School Diatrict of Daltimore, for ‘thio roason that profossionals of that class do ‘not oxisk thoro, Thoro aro, iu short, no fauntng ‘vourtesans in Vionna, ns ara to bo gcon on tho stroots of Parls, or oven in Now York or Baiti- moro. Whero virtuo Is such a rarity thero isno opportunity for making n spocialty of vice, and it has no specinl locality. In this rospect Vionna sould apponr to tho casual visltor moro freo from this specicn of social ovil than any other Iargo city in the world; but a visit to the Found- ling Hospital, whoro thero is an nverage of shout Torty infants received duily, or tho gonoral hos- pital, whoro {ts illogitimato births averago thirty & day, shows the pro-eminonce of Vienna over all othor oitles in the world. Thero aro 20,000 soldiors always in tho city, moatly young men from tho provincos, who could not marry if they would, and would mot if thoy could. Thoy bavo no means to support a wife, and seldom havo monoy sufficlent to pay tho ohurch charges for the porformance of tho marriago ooremony. Thoy can be seon in crowds with the young girls on the Ringatrasse and tho Pra- ter, Thoy form attachments, but oro never ex« peotod to marry. Their example is followed by iho young men in othor walks of lifo, and I win asgured thero aro fowor marriages in Vionna tuan almoat any othor city of one-third the pop~ ulation. ‘Fhora seoms to bo no attempt made by kho authorities or by the Church to romedy this ovil, which has become g0 universal that— ‘among tho laboring classea ospocially—thoro are fow mothora who havo husbands, I bave made spocial efforts to obtain suthontio information as to the causes which are leading to this oxtensivo domoralization, That there are many good and virtuous people here there is no maunor of doubt ; but that tho noxt goneration will greatly doteriorato is equally certafn, Ton yoars ago it was regarded ns somewhat degrad- jng to tho femalo to live withont marringo, Wow, no woman is considered as having low- ered borsolf much in the estoom of her neighbors unless she becomes o brazen courtosan. Of this class it o but proper to say that Vionna, With its million of population, has fowor than the smallest of tho principal citios of ho United States. ‘Thora aro, howoyer, moro people living togothor withont marringo than with marriage, and this condition of ), With 1ho privilogo 0f soparating ot pleasudf which often takes place with the birth of the firat child, I8 becoming dnily moro popular, Tho laws reguisting marringo ore, I havo gecortninad, dilforont from thiows of ‘sny othor civilized nation, Whe Church is forbidden to miarry any men or women without tho consent of tholr paronts. Tho partios proposing mor: ringo must aleo havo the writton consont of the Burgomastor and authoritios of the placo of thelr nativity, which will notbe given unless they can provo that they havo moans sufliciont to support & family, and will not .bocomea chargo upon the community. During tho threo BaTH wh{ch ovory ablo-bodied mnu is required 0 serve in tho army, he is mot pormitted to marry without ho haa also tho cousont of the Beorotary of War, or tha General under whoso command Lo i sorving. Somo of thoso laws can o cvaded by going to some othor soction of tlio country, but tho bury to marriago aro so great, and tho difleultios to be overcome eo numorous, ¢hat thoy gonerally profor to do without tho ceromony, and start off in lifo just as g0 inany of their nolghbors and friends have dono boforo them. Theroia a reosut law which is intended toprotect tho female in theso left-handed mar- riuges, If sho accertains that her ‘‘man,” by wwhom she hns children, is sbout to contrack mutringe, sho csn ontor protcst snd puba stop’ to tho coromony. It does not, howover, prsvent bim from abandoning the mother of his children and familiarly taking up with Lis now love, just as ho in duyslong past took up with her. The Tnovels dnii’y published hero oll recognize this wmew phase of life, and the most popular are thoso which ml)mneut their heroes and horoines pg falling in love with and cloping with hus- bands and wives, Matrimony is ignored ontirely in most of them, The mairisge coremony 8 daily growing more unpopular, and bids fair Boon to become, in Vienna at least, to bo re- garded 08 ono of tho follios of a past goneration, MARRIAGE AMONG TIE WELL-IORN, Tho ladios of Amorica, 88 woll as tho gentls- mon, would bo apt to enter into an earnest pro- test agninst tho nystom of marriago prevalont oll over tho Continent of Europe, but ospocially In Austria. Young ladies here among tho weli- to-do and weaithior classes are soldom nllowed to go 1nto company until thoy are engaged to be mnrried, Thoy ara not allowed, in going or com- ing from school, to have young gallauta to trot slong by thoir sido, and carry thoir books, snd whispor complimentary notlings in their oars, Fhoy nre mostly sont to boarding-schoola, and kept in such rigid seclusion that the eight of o man 18 almost & novelty to them. If allowed to como home during vacations, it is under etriot fumily guard, but most of them remain until heir education is finished, and thoy have budded into oarly womanhood. Both father and mother then put their heads tnfiuthar and fix upon the amount of dowry thoey will be willing and ablo to give her on her wedding day, The next move a8 _to look for a suitablo Lusband, who will bo nble to bring to tho common stock a similar smount of haxd cash; if thoy cannot find ono emong thoir scquaintances o suib them, in Rl rospects, thoy call in tho services of & pro- fessional matrimonial sagent, who s woll posted a8 to all the inarringenbls * young wen in tho market, Mo or she, ‘an it mny bo, keops a journsl of tho marringoa- Dles, not only in Vienns, but in tho proviuces, und proceeds to nogoliato with tho parents of young mon to raceive the npplicant sa thewr “dnugliter-in-Iaw, and draws up tho agrocments and bonds nocessary for tho security of the money part of tho transaction. Bometimes the young Indy in wllowed to #oo tho youthful Adonis solocted for hor lifo partuer, before the coremo- ny is closod, but i 100st casies sho must accopk tho cholco of hor parouts, Love comos aftor zaarriage in many casos, but is by nomoans a gonoral result, If the mouey part of the con- 1yact Is fulfilled, nothing is allowed to provent tii0 mnrringo, a8 this ssems to be tho main con- sidoration, Thoro aro conatand cases oocurring licre in Vienna where tho eoxpoctod marringe is either postponed until the dower s paid up, or brolon off outiroly on account of fafl ure to Ent up tho monoy at tho appointed time. Tho rocont money crisis has led to any catos of abandonment, and there arcno #iroien hearts to bemended. ‘Chus marriage i nothing to do with love, but is a purely busi- neua transaction—a quostion of dollars and ceuts, Children aro ofton lllodu(ld to oaohi othor Ly tholr parents bofore thoy enter thoir tcons, and are then allowed to mingle and form attach: woents, bubt that innot otten the case. The garonts of tho daughtor, who must pay down the mouey agreed upon, in bhard cash, aro romewliat st the moroy of the parents of tho groom, who may put up their share of tho 10ney as & mere matter of form, and rocoive it Lnclk from the affectionate son tho day after tho wedding iy consummated, with o good share of the bride’s dower, But in matrimonial alliancos overywhare, the woman and hor kindred aro at 1hio moroy of the husbsnd. Wo met, during our -u{onm at TIall, nvery finudeomo and intelligont lady, from Roumanis, who wad sojourning thero ‘with her husband, Bhe was undodbtedly most happily married ; in. dead, it would be'dificult to {ind anywhoroa nore dovoted oouple. They had boen marriod {on yoars, and she showed ‘us a family ghuto-, vaph of horsolf and hueband, with four bright biid boautiful nestlings around them.

TIE NEUE WELT, To visit all tho placea of recreation and nmuso- mant in and sround Vienna would requiro o month of succossivo ovenings, and cach oue ap- ponrs to be moro attractive than tho Inot, Tho ardons, ospocially, prosont sconca that woro ng- ounding to the donizens of Baltimore. Belmoi~ der's Nouo Wolt, a Enrdun at Ioitzing, in the suburbs of Vienna, which wo visltod n fow ovon- ings sinco, presontod o acono that was traly sur- rleing. ¢ i about threo timoa tho pizo of tha Paitinsoro Sohytotzon Tark, and avory portion of it was as Drillisnt with gas-jots as tho famous Mabilo Gardon, of Paris, Throo bands of music, onch of not lees ° than sixty porformors, ocouplod elaboratoly decoratod ond illnminated music stands in difforont por- tions of tho gardon, the central oo, called tho Alhambra, lmlnq; withits wings, not loss than 800°feot in length, brillisntly Liluminated with thousands of gas jota. The central portion of tho garden, occupying & space about four times 3 largo pa Lafayotto Bquaro, was filled with tablos, sufliciont to seat not loss than 5,000 por- rons, and thoy are usually all filled, whilst an army of waltors aro rushing to and fro to au'rply tho oalls for refreshmonts, ~ Noar tho far ond of iho gardon is tho dancing circlo, nud anothor musio stand, whilat boyond it is. the open air thoatro, with boxes and parquettd, whero thero ia nightly performances; one of the attractions at qlrunnnt boing a band of Ethiopian singors, with tight-rops and slsck-ropo duncln%.o ‘Tho prico of admission to tho gardon is about 30 oonte, and the numbor of visitors on all clenr oveninga is from 6,000 to 10,000. On holi- days and Sundsy evenings cvorything is in full Llast, and it wonld bo impossible to convey to your roaders any adequate idos of tho immonsity fnd brillianoy of the prosonted. The_ fostivitics aro kept. “P until after midnight, and on Friday uvonlm% n nddition toall tho musical attrac- tions, the singing Associations of Vicnna, to the number of over ona thousand trained voices, givo a grand opon air concert from the celobrat- od wings of the Alhambra, tho central portion boing occupied by tho combined orchostras of tho Neuo Q\'nlt, numbering over one hundrod striog _instruments alono. ko illuminated rounds in front of the Alambra affords acata at ahlos, with rooms loft for tho frec nccoss of tho 'visitors, for eight to ten thousand spoctatora. "Tho charastor of tho orchestral musio on ordi- nary nights, from each of the several bands, is of tho highoat ordor, boing mostly by the groat military bands, sll the membora of which are ro- quired to be proficiont porformers on string fn- struments aleo, Tyery moembor of Biraues' band can porform on two or moro instrumonts, and g0 it 1s with all great bands of Vienos, Bul the poople of Vienna are critical judges of mu- sio, and do not applaud indisorimiaately, no hired clacquors being allowed. I tho piocos aro well- rendered, thero Is applause ; but if uot, a doad silenco ensues. Heuce, whonever there is even modorato applause, the leader comes_with appa~ Tout dolight totho front, bows, and ropeats & orlion of thoair. Whonover any great succoss achioved byan orchestra, the applauso is ro- nowod until the ontiro orchestra rise and bow to tho nudience, Thero is a constant demand for now mmsleal produotions, and Jobaon Strauss dovotes his wholo time to {ho labor. MORE ADOUT OATFE LIEE. Not dosiring to bo shut up in the monotony of Lotel lifo, wo hiave invurisbly, whenover it wyas Ennsmln, mixed with the peaplo, as affording ottor opportunities for obtaining correct infor- mation in regard to national peculinrities and modes of 1ifs, To-day wo dine, bronkfast, or sup in_ono restaursut or cafe, and to-morrow in a similar ostablishmout in another scction of the oity, and they are so numorous that thoy can bo found at overy turn, Thoy ave all oxcollont, aud aro invariably crowded with oustomers, includ- ing Indlcs, many of whom drop in uoattended, ‘portako of their maals and dopart. It would al- most soem that threo-fonrths of the populntion live ontirely in theso cstablishmonts, ns there aro mapy bundrods of thom, which are also visited by the poorer oclasses. We took suppor last ovening at tho Riadhof, whoro thore conld not have been less than 1,200 ladies and gontlomen partaking of thoir evening ropnst. At tho table on one sido of us woro four Turks, and on the other aido four ofticors of tho Aus- trisn army, aud in front of us four clogantl; drossed Indies. No soonor was a tablo vacate than othors waiting rushed to securo it. This ostablishmont, with hundreds of others, {s simi- larly erowded from 7 t0 10 o'clock in the morn- ing, from 12 to 3 in tho afternoon, and from 7 to 11 o'clock in the evening, but at ali hours of tho day thero is s good attendance. They woro ‘moutly eating in the court-yard, under the trecs, an abundance of gas uEmu being intorsporeed. To ont out of doors is the delight of tho Vien- noie, and those ostablishmonta that ean fur- nish this luxury do the largest Lusiness in summer. In Parls tho restaurants aro mostly up steirs, whilst in Vionna they take tho ground floor, and occupy tho most valu- able property and locations in the cily, Tho cooking and quality of tho food is also Guperior to any that can be found in Parle, excopt in tho fashionablo and high-priced roptatirants, Evory- thing is cooked to ordor, and served up fresh and lot from the kitchon. In tho cafes, where cofloe, bread, and eggs alone are sorved, the cof- foo is mado fresh every half honur, and its qual- ity fa equnl to the best that can be found at some of our old Maryland family tablos, If all visitora to Vienna would do only their sleoping in the hotols, they would find it to bo the most delight~ 1ul city in Burope for a prolonged sojourn, TUE MODES OF GERMAN LIFE. Haying hoard muchof tho modes of socinl lifoof the German inthe Fatherland, both in approval ond in condomnation, one of tho piurposes of this vislt to Germany. haa been to give to the rondors of the American the oppor- tnuity of forming o fair judgment on what wo hlfim thoy will deom unprojudiced and impar- tinl tostimony, If tho love of musio, sud n high appreciation of its charms, is commenda- blo, thon 1o one can find fault with thoso seasem- Dlages, which aro 88 quict and’ orderly, and as 1roo from all manner of excoeaos, a8 ono of Thao- dore Thomas’ concerts at Iord's Opera-Houso, Whilst listening to musio thoy liko to oat, drink ‘beor, and smoke in tho open alr, which eating is, to the grent mass of thom, thoir nsual evenin, ropnst.

We lave somo Gormans ot homo whom wo rogarded s swollen up and bloatod with lager boor, but we are rathor inclined to suspect them of producing this result by mixing whiskey with their beor, The womon bhere drink nearly as much heer as' the men, and more henlthy and finoly-developod specimens of feminine humanl. 4y cannot bo found anywhero than are to bo met in the restaurants of an evening, with their par- ents, husbands, brothors, or lovora, partaling of thelr evoning ropast, washed down' with oue or two goblets of Lho national bovernge, which most of thom wers roared upon and weasued with from the orndlo, An Amorican gentlemen ywho has several times visitod Vienns, and traveled oxtonsivoly in Iiu- rope, remarked to mo to-day that he wan snils. fled that thoro was no people living understood 1iow to enjoy lito ko woll as tho Vionnolse, Ihat husbands, wives, and children all moved about togethor, and enjoyod themselvos in company. Thera are no anxious wives waiting aud watching for the coming home of husbands from conviy- ial gatherings, and no occaslon for * Caudle lectures "' amoug the family men of Vienna, If nothing more could bo alloged agalust them than their mode of eating aud tho quantity of boer thoy drinl, they would bo s very oxem- plary paople. This moade of outdoor lifo cer- tain) y{:nn the merit of relioving the wifo from that groatost of all voxations of the prosont day, ihe management of the cook and the oulinary department. The old axiom, ‘' As to to-morrow, time anough to conslder it whon it becomes to- dav," Is the favorite sentiment of tho peoplo, and undor tho convictlon that “n ‘frosh mind )mu}:n tho body fronl,” they havo adopted as {hofr practico and rule * to fako in flm" dons of to-day and draln off those of yestorday.” By tho enjoymont of lifa thomsolvad thoy lold to tho 1don that they aro contributing to'the enjoymont of othors, Ayn to their Uhrlatfin dution and the obsoryanco of Babbath, no man haa the right to Judgoe them.

BUATCITY OF WATER, In connection with this subject of boor drinlk- fog tho fact ought to bo montioned that drink- ing water ia not only scerco, and o merchnntable commodily, but that it is vory unpalatablo, aud i drank oxoluslvely is apt to lead to clironfo af- foctions of tho bowols, It is o hard that it is diflioult to wash tho handa in it with MI hope of tholr purification, tho sonp curdling and formiug o sticky substauce on tho surface of tho water. The only supply is from slow runoing hydrants on tho public stroots, tho water for other house~ hold purposes being obtained from olstorns, which i moted out inemsll quantitiesto tho rosidonts of tho houses, Tho hydrants on the stroots aro thronged nlfi'h.‘b and day by arowds of irls and womon waiting for tholr turn to fill hiolr biickets and tubs, many of whom make a business of carrying supplics to families, Ar- rangemonts fors more oxtensivo supply of bat- tor water ia bolng mnde, but it will bo two or throo yoara boforo tha work {n cgmpletod.
