The arrangements for a visi by His Majesty Francie Joseph of Austria to tie Pear of Russia Were completed simultaneously in Vienna and St. Petersburg during the month of Septensber, 1873. ‘When the fact became known it excited.a very ‘considerable amount of comment, concerning the intensé or object of the Impera! reunion, in political circles, particularly in Austria. ‘The New Vienna Tagedlat, writing on the sub- ject, said :— 48 we some time ago surprised the political ‘world with the news that the Emperor Francis Jo- sept had resolved to return the visit of the Czar and to make a journey to St. betersburg, together with one member of the tmpertal house and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, durtug the course of ext winter, tt was moxt energetically denied by all newspapers having connect:on witn the govern- ment. ‘Bue our official press is not iniallible; and it now gradually comes out that this winter jour- ney of our sovereign has not only been resolved on, but that its time has already been fixed, #0 that the Emperor Fraucis Joseph may peeety take part in tne festivities which are to ake place at St. Petersburg at taut time on ac- count of the marriage o/ the Grand Duchess Mar; Alexandrowna with t:e Duke of Edinburgh.

Mrs. D. P. Bowers at Mrs. Conway's . Theatre. Mrs. D. P. Bowers, the cleverest, the most suc- cessful and the most versatile of those younger American actresses who, past their frst youth, have not yet by any means reached an age at which any but the carper relegates them to tndif- ference, is now in the last evenings of an engage- ment at Mrs. Conway’s Theatre, Brooklyn, Mrs, Bowers’ career has been entirely unique and en- tirely her own; but the success of it has been suf- ficiently marked, long sustained and character- ized by effort to do good work as to merit this passing tribute from our hand. She has never reached the towering triumph of Charlotte Cush- man ; but. on the other band, @ sensitive organiz- ation and Kindly surroundings have saved her {rom those meretricious dramatic wanderings of the ill-counselled Lucille Western, who believes herself to bean actress. The early recognition ven to bright and prosperous young actresses ike Miss Agnes Ethel and Miss Clara Morris was not enjoyed by the lady of whom we are now speaking. Member for many years of a very excellent and respectable stock com; , where excellence was obtained through drudgery, it was only alter the goiden rim of first youth was over- ‘epped that she ventured into rovings of the star—rovings not then followed by so many poor performers as now. But what we wish principal; to allude to now is the consistency with whic! Mrs. Bowers has adhered, aga rule, to the legiti- mate drama and to that dratna which borders on the legitimate, a class of plays the temperament of which is sufficiently well understood, but which no exacter adjective has yet been found to describe. Occasionally Mrs. Bowers has deviated from that track. Yet she Is to be credited with having con- tributed to the professional ie Of the stage, taking the general tenor of her artistic life nto view; and New York 1s scarcely to be compit- mented upon never having yielded her that per- manent endorsement which is her due, We ad- mire supreme genius in ali the flush of glorious maturity and conceded greatness; we admire the budding ict Aled oi the rising star, amid all her crudities and ignorances; but we admire also the soverer fame, albeit somewhat provincial, of an actress who has twenty years of hard work ina good fleld to look back a; Theatrical and Musical Notes. “Elene,” at Booth’s Theatre, will be repeated only ten times more, being withdrawn February 21.

It will be interesting to observe | ‘Whether he has attempted dramatic creations or whether his Indians are white men with paint on their faces and moccasins on their feet, The opera of “Faust” in the Brooklyn Park Theatre last evening, with Miss Kellogg in her favorite role, that of Marguerite, was greeted with an overflowing house, the spectacle of ladies standing tn the throng, between the aisies and against the walis being the best illustration of the numerous assemblage in the house. It is neediess to reiterate criticism of Miss Ketiogg’s singing of the sweet musicof Gounod. Some disappointment was occasioned by the substitution of a compara- tive stranger for Mrs. Seguin in the part of Siebel, but the mellow voice of Migs Starbird was accepted as soon ag heard. Peakes wasin thoroughly good voice, but Habelmann lacked nis usual earnestness and was probably somewhat indisposed. The sea- gon of English opera in Brooklyn, however, has been a decided success. “Maritana,” ‘The Bohe- mian Girl” and “Fra Diavolo” are the closing Operas of the week's emtertainment, THE BOOTH BRIBERY INVESTIGATION, San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 12, 1874. ‘The bribery investigation is still pending at Sac- ramento, but the evidence taken thus far utterly fails to connect Governor Booth or any of his friends, or any person acting for him, with any bribe or offer of reward whatever to advance bis interest in the Senatorial contest PRINCE CARNIVAL. His Reception at the Lied- erkranz Ball. ——3—_== A Gala Night at the Academy of Musio—Time’s Tabteaux and Transformations—A Human Kaleidoscope of Merry ..Mimes and ~ Earnest Enjoyment—The Arabian Nights Boiled Down Into.On?. ‘The Academy Of Music iooked its prettiest last night, and few that were present will be inclined to forget the occasion of the twenty-elghth | annual fancy dress ball of the New York Liederkranz Society. This ball {8 generaily | considered as the oficial reception of Prince | Carnival, that merry potentate whose sceptre ts | wieided over the world of grotesque, and the pre- Parations for it form the principal sub- | Ject of ladies’ thoughts for weeka before it takes piace. The society occupies the very first position in thia country as a vocal organization, and its list of members exceeds 1,000 Dames. Each year shows considerable progress im the pomp and circumstance of the Court of Momus, and certainly last night’s reception was far ahead of any of its predecessors in splendor, attendance and realenjoyment. The programme itseli was @ literary production of such a novel de- Scription that it alone was calcalated to | inspire anticipations the most sanguine. Prince | Carnival, regarding it as his annual message to the Congress of Fools (no oficial connection with the Washington Solons), indulges in abundant | witty remarks and suggestions. National, State | and local politics are struck at in this document, and the uttermost limits of the reaims oi Folly, from Hoboken to avenue A, receive due considera- tion. This distinguished personage, Prince Varnival, who is the reputed autaor of the above mentioned document, occupies such a prominent place in the German mind just before the season of sackcioth and ashes that a short sketch of his career, as tur- nished to us by one of the Printing Committee, will prove of interest, Prince Carnival was born in the year 505 in the city of Pfeifienschneiderburg, between the Rhine and the Hackensack rivers, of parents who where rich but reputable. From au early age he evinced @n aptitude ior mimicry and made faces at his maternal grand uncie and the hired man with great success, About this time Pope Gregory in- troduced Lent into the wondering world, and youag Carnival bit upon the happy idea of reviving the old Roman Saturnalia as an |ppropriate preface to fasting and prayer. In spite of the strongest opposition and mumerous spankings he gained his point at iret in Rome and Venice, where he reigns absolute tothe present day; alterwards in Cologne and Mayence. The carne levamen—name of gourmand. ish suggestions—became a wild revel, in which every che donned the cap and bells and philosophy and common sense were tabooed. Paris and other cities became iniected with the spirit of the ery eee, and laughed tneir homage to him. sederkranzers Claim for themselves in this city, and justly, too, the name of the chosen | children of the prince. ‘here 18 something irresistibly funny in the German tdea of fua. Our Teutonic iriends go about a night’s enjoyment with @ deliberation and earnestness that cannot | tail to accomplish the purpose. Months pass by beiore the carnival programme ts satisiactorily arranged and the east of fun is laid out by the appointed caterers in irreproach- able style. ‘he Liederkranzers are the most suc- cessiul in this laudable line of business, and from Canal street to the Academy, within a desade or two ol years, and from flity cents to $15 charge for a ball ticket, those jolly sons of Fatherland bave built up ior themselves a name in the snnals ot Momus that would even make Humpty Dumpty redden through the chalk with envy or Van Bryant grow pale with the same green-eyed malady. As the penitential season approaches the enjoyment of ipa corairay is all the more keen, and so it was last be The night was pretty well advanced before the formal opening of the ball, which was @ series of tableaux vivants, arranged on a raised platform at the stage end of the baliroom. Tiey were very atiractive and artistic, both in conception, design | and finish. The antics of the pierrots and clowns, between the tableaus, were the most amusing | features of the programme. Tne tabieaus were seven in number, and were intended to illus- trate Time, the Seasons, the Year, the Prince Comus and the grand transformation from | mortals to gods and goddesses. The exact quan- tity of sparkling humor contained in the spirit that actuated those tableaus it would be hard to determine. They were, however, an improvement on the processions o{ former seasons. The colored ; lights were very skillully managed and produced the desired effect. Midnight drew near before the ball proper was in tui operation. When the tardy ceremonial of te reception of Prince Carnival was concluded the floor became cosmopolitan and chronoiogical in the variety of masks that were poured upon it. It was indeed 8 congress of nations. Every clime, from the region of Tessuisak to the dominions of King Koffee, was represented. The Cossack, in his | uncomiortabie sheepskin; the Neapolitan brigand, with his steeple crowned, ribboned hat; Marco Bozzaris’ arm in arm with the Turk, who was “dreaming of the hour,’’ Indians Ip the most approved, hideous pan- oply ; meek-eyed nuns, glancing conly at the wild Bedouin or the Heathen Chinee; Hindoos, flirting with Louis Quinze belles; a plumaged descendant ol the Incas, the original ht of Harem, a Cistercian peasant girl (loving couple), can eagle, holding the steamer in his beak; @ half dozen Polar «ari a couple of parroquets of preposterous size, a tui! assortment of colossal bottles and decanters, & few reminiscences of Greek classical subjects, Queen | of the Night in earnest conversation with chimpan- | zees—such Were @ lew of the features of the Lied- erkranz ball last night, The dreamy music of Fatherland floated from the upper gallery in waltz, galop and mazurka meas- ures, evoked trom the stolid players engaged for the occasion by the baton of Bernstein and Dietz. As the inspiring strains of Strauss and Gungl filed the air, the huge kaleidoscope of maskers vegan to resolve itself into the most santastic and picturesque forms. Nodding plumes, gleaming armor, glistening robes and sparkiing jewels Swept along in endless profusion and the eye was bewildered at the magnificent spectacie. Mr. C. Godtrey Gunther, President of the Society, and Mr. William Steinway, chairman of the Recep- tion Comuitttee, were the principal members of the society to whom the most onerous portion of the arrangements was entrusted. The floor com- Mittee were costumed in the handsomest Faust dress and the lobby committee as the Count of | Paris. Enormous vases of fowers were placed in the lobbies and the entrances were magnificently festooned, Acting on the suggestion of the HeRratp, the society placed a “charity” box at the main en- trance. It was draped in evergreens and roses and mounted on a pedestai, and was an object of special attention daring the ball, The attendance was larger than at any other ball of the society for some years. Many notables in the fashionable, artistic and political worlds were present, and would space permit we might mention hundreds of es to prove that the Liederkranz ball of 1874 was such en event as Prince Carnival might well de proud of. e outside attendance was ne the tae tive, witty and oe ee apnoying. The giare of the calcium lights on Irving place and Fours teenth street drew @ crowd of curiosity seekers, Tne long line of carri crack of doom,” and all the streets in tne vicinity of the Academy were effectually blockaded. Nothing occarred to mar the enjoyment of the hou! verything was pleasant and everybody in ood spirits. Such a result can only be attained Bye society determined on fun from the convic- tion that a nigbi’s fun is necessary in @ sanitary point of view. Addi0/ Prince Varnival, OBITUARY, Robert E.

ANNEXATION MiETING AT THE BROOKLYN ACADEMY, wpe “The Municipal Union Society of the City of Brooklyn”—Speeches and Reso= lutions Upon the Union of the Cities. A number of prominent citizens held a meeting at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for the purpose of discussing the question of annexing the cities of New York and Brookiym, The meeting was called to order by Mr. S. B, Chittenden, and then Mr. George T. Holt was chosen temporary chatr- man. When Mr. Holt had taken the chair Mr. Chit- tenden stated that they had been called together for the purpose of exchanging their views in regard to the consolidation of the two cities. For his part he would say that he was favorable to the union, for he had looked into the matter and had some facts which, in his opinion, were tavor- able to the union. The Brooklyn taxpayers were paying just as much taxes as was paid in New York, and he believed they had just as much right to be called New Yorkers as Brooklynttes. The cities were too nearly joined to be separated. Uniess Brooklyn was clatmed by New York she would becume the second city in the Union in less than ten years, for Philadeiphia had an area much larger than thar of New York, He spoke of the crowded condition of New York and of the tact that the citizens were compelled to & over to Jersey, Westcnester and other places. @ also reierred to the great advantage the bridge would be to Brooklyn when completed. They could get to East New York sooner than they could get to Westchester by rapid transit, He supposed ; Uhat all the politicians would oppose the union; some of the taxpayers, too, would oppose it for fear the taxes would be higher. I! this was so it would certainly be a great objection. More than | nalt of the congregation of Dr. Storrs’ church had ne to New York. Alter some further remarks ir. Chittenden offered the following :— Resolved, That we do heroov organize a society _to be known as’ a Municipal Union society ot the City of Brooklyn aud County of Kins, Resolved, ‘That the purpose of such organization 18 to Promote in all proper ways a plan of union of the city of New York with the city 0: Brooklyn and the five towns of Kings county under une inunicipal govern- ment, the whole to ba called the city of New York.

Mr. JouNn WiNsLow also made a few remarks in regard to the bill now before the Legislature peoriaine, for annexing the cities. He was, ike Mr. Crittenden, in favor of the project. All the features of a great city were monopolized by New York, and as Brooklyn now stood it never could become a great city. New York shoald pay two-thirds of the cost of building the bridge, but Would not do so as long as the cities were separated. ir. MARCELLUS MARSEY read a paper favoring the Project Mr. J. 8. T. STRANAHAN also made a few remarks favoring the project. The resolutions which Mr. Chittenden had offered were adopted and the Meeting adjourned, THE MAYOR AND THE MARKET WOMEN, Yesterday morning 8 delegation of hardwork- ing, honest women, who support thelr families by disposing of fruit out of baskets in the vicinity of Washington Market, called at the City Hall, and presented a petition to His Honor, Mayor Have- meyer, in which they set forth their grievances at the order for their removal in the most plaint- ive manner. They demonstrate that the peti- tioners have occupied their stands on tie sidewalk, one hall to two feet trom the curbstone for a period ranging from four to twenty years; that the stands, mainly consisting of baskets, were removed at night and shitted dur- ing the day time so as not to obstruct the street; that said women have been forcibly driven by the city authorities from their usual places or stands, and that most of them are widows and have large families to support. Their means of sustenance are thus cut off, and, if not restored to them, they and their dependents must become a burden | to the city or depend upon private charity, The petitioners iurther show that on the 2ist ult, six women Were arrested by the police for no other crime than that of selling fruit, and wound up with a patnetic appeal to the Common Council to rescind the ordinan be ate depriving them of the privileges complatn: 14 His Honor listened very attentively to the poor women and iniormed them that he would send tor Colonel Devoe, Superintendent of Markets, and arrange lor a conference between himandthem. | The petition is signed by about ity women and | nearly twice as many business firms on the line of the streets usually occupied by this tramc.

Appearance of the Bodies After Embalmment. PLASTER CASTS TAKEN, Mystery’ of the Umbilical Connection. PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 13—1 A. M. The exterior and interior cases in which the Siamese Twine have been enclosed since their deatn, with ali the charcoal tn which they were packed during their freightage from the South to the North, nave been entirely removed, and the bodies now lie in their embalmed state upon @ large table in the College of Physi- cians aod Surgeons, Across the face of each of the twain there reposes a large sponge saturated with chemical liquids, of which 1 am somewhat ignorant, but in which carbolic acid seems to be the basis. THE CONNECTING LINK, that peculiar band of flesh which, in life and death, anite the two seemingly into one insepar- sbie union, was, until twelve o’clock to-day, covered with @ piece of white drapery, while all the other sections of the bodies, save the face, remained entirely naked. About the room stood barreis of plaster of Paris, along with the idie tools of tnose who nad been preparing the casts. The body of Chang, who was the first to expire, was pervaded with a dark and unnatural biuish tint, the characteristics of the individual being apparent in death as they were during life. The preservation of Eng, how- ever, was perfect, his face, bust and limbs being perfectly natural, and having undergone no appar- ent shrinkage since his demise. Not the slightest odor, however, proceeded irom elther of the bodies, whicn proves conciusively that the embalmment bas been as perfect as human science could render it, Upon a table near by reposed the ? — WEATHER REPORT.

Pirrssvnd, Pa., Feb, 1% 1874. A joint committee of the Legistature at Harria burg have been investigating, according to the an; nual custom, the affairs at the Cassville Sotdiers® Orphans’ School, and a report has just reached this city that they have discovered some startling abuses in the female departinent. Last year there were 169 pupils in the school, ninety-five males and seventy-four females, om whose account the State paid $27,191. As the despatch ‘rom Huntingdon reads, the charges agutnst the man- agemeut are principally on the score ot immorality ta oe institution, some of the details being simply revolting, PLASTER OF PARIS CASTS, as far as they were completed, The bodies are not reproduced in plaster in toto, but are con- formed to the original by means of separate aud distinct parts. Tne first cast was made of the bead and @ portion of the shoulders, which, for the ke of classification, may be irregu- larly denomtnated as the bust. The last touch of the artist’s knife has played its part, and the reproduction of the head and stoulders is complete and periect, The cast of the bodies from the arm- pits down to the upper extremities of the legs was incomplete antil twelve o’clock to-day, while there was no evidence in the surroundings that the connecting link had been cast atall. In the legs of each, just above the knees, slight punctures: appeared, which showed that no smali amount of the injecting Nuid had been diffused. There was a syringe lying near, which seemed to indicate that the fuid nad been injected at no remote date. CHANG WAS SHRIVELLED AND BLUE, while Eng was as natural as at any period during life. The sponges concealed the taces and the con- necting link was veiled, but otherwise the corpses were exposed, Upon raising th@ drapery covering the links slight depression was noticed exactly in the centre o1it, which many persons have acsumed to be tie common navel, as No other navel seems to be ap- parent; but in case this depression in the cen- tre of the band were im reality a common umbilicus, it would necessarily indicate a peritunal connection, which, if trae, at once shows con- clusively that their separation during lile weuid have been impossible, and of course that the band containing the navel must have aiso con- tained certain arteries interlacing the twins, and containing vital fluids of hile. hig point at least seems to be firmly dsettle—viz., the link is not mere gristle, but contains within it channels, through which blood flowed from one to the other, other- wise the demise of one body, Peary taxed and | diseased, could not have caused tue death of an- other body comparatively in perfect health. anless, perchance, the latter expired from an ex- traordinary mental shock upon awaking. trom | sieep and finding the other dead. Until noon to- , day no knife had been applied; no photographic | instruments were in the room, and the cast of | the body proper was very incomplete, hence the autopsy really cannot have yet been undertaken, but will probably be commenced to-morrow.

TRICHINOSIS. Alarming Presence of Trichine: in Au- rora, Ind.—Death of Two Persons from Eating Diseased Pork—Professor Sut. ton’s Post-Mortem Disclosures. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 12, 1874, Two of the victims of trichinosis, reported ten | days ago at Aurora, Ind., have died from the effects | of the poisoning, and the bodies have undergone post-mortem examination, the particulars of which have just come tohand. The victims are Henry, second son of Mrs. Turenart, the German lady in whose family the infected pork was first eaten, and Mrs. Benter, the wife of | the German Methodist mumister, who came | tonurse the smitien family. The death of this lady, under the terrible circumstances already de- tailed, cast a gloom over the whole community or Aurora and created the profoundest regrets for the loss of a noble woman, who literally sacrificed | her life in the voluntary performance of a Chris- tian duty, Professor Sutton conducted the post- mortem ¢xamination and submitted portions of the flesh of both the victims to a thorough scien- tific examinativn. In his first report of the devei- opment of trichinosis he stated THE TRICHINI SPIRALIS were foundin one of Mra. Threnart’s hogs—only the one that had been sick—but he corrects this statement now, and says that they were jound in both carcasses, but that the development was most in the animal that had manifested the peculiar symptoms a month or so before killing. He de- duces that this proves the highly imfectious char- acter of the disease, and now adds that the period of infection is irom twelve to twenty day: the disease, like measies and smalipox, was seif- Mmited, and like these diseases one attack ex- empts from a second, ‘bis, however, Professor Sutton claims to have Deen advanced by him last May, and that his ov- servations of the Aurora cases confirm the cor- rectness of his conclustons, He says that after an attack of trichinosis the poison still remains in the flesh for years, ready to develop disease when this flesh 18 eaten oF taken into the stomach; but, after hogs recover from hog cholera, they are fattened and sold to our butch- ers, and the meat becomes one of the principal articles of food in the West under the form of bacon and sugar cured hams. He concludes, therefore, that if triching 1s a cause of hog cholera, which is now prevailing to a great extent in some parta of Kentucky, there sighs accompanying; none of the carcasse: cholera hoga show any signs of trichinw, while these of wuich the human victime partook as food exhibit as many as 80,000 to the cubic inch of flesh. THR MICROSCOPIO EXAMINATION of portions of Mrs. Benter’s flesh and of the boy Threnart developed the startling fact taat millions of the triching were alive, co! and uncoiling im the tissues. This fact created & profound sensation Joust that sec tion of Indiana tn which Aurora is moaned and, taken in connection with the deaths on | completely killed the sale of pork artic of human food. x) ents made with ete d rees Fanrenhe!
