WHERE WOMEN PERFORM MANUAL LABOR fnflux Minlster Grant's Popularity Abroad of Americans ana English Have Raised the Cost of Living in y Cities, Correspondence of Tie: hours from bo very Benuis, April 16 Ber.)--The ride of soventeen Venice to Vienna is long and would tedicus but for the fine mountain scenery In the summer or in warm weather thers are many pleasant resorts in the mounutaing, and one might tind oneself well repaid by breaking the journey. The road rises to ahout 4,000 feet, and on all sides the moun tains are still higher. The suowolad moun- tains, rusting rivers, the cataracts, flashing, falling, shimmering, splashing, make the scenery more than imposing; it is sublime Though the outside was beautiful besond words, the cars wero hot and stuffy, and not clean. so we were very glad when we rolled into the Vienna station and found ourselves ata first class hotel, whers evoryfning was clean and all thoy gave you to eat and drink was good. Vieana is a boautiful ¢ Paris. Tho shops are fil and most rechercho articles of all kinds, the streets with well-dressed me1 and women who secm to have nothing to do but prowe- nade up and down the handsome Ring- strasse, genial, and apparently very happy Tho ofticers, in their gay uniform, white, scarlet and gold, blue and gold—in fact, their uniforms are cvery varioty of color—add brill- fancy to the scene. ‘T'hie weather is romar k- ably good, and all Vienna scoms 10 bask i the sunshine ofter a ratber cold, disagreeable winter. We have reon the city under tho most pieasunt auspices. Coloriel Grant, our genial and popular minister,and his churming aud boautiful wife, have been more than kind and attentive, showing us the wonders and beauty of tho place. Mrs. Grant is so well inforined on Austria, past aud present, that we have been poculiarly blessed in have ing her for cicerone. 1 am told that the Grants are most popular with the court circles and have been enter- tained in tho most cordial way by the Austrian nobility, who are the most exclu- sivo of all in kurope. Not only does Colonel Grant's name entitle bim to rauk with any of tho ambassadors in Vienna, but [ venture o say tho beauty and inteiligence of his wifo s equal if not superior to the ladies of the other embassies. Vieuna is full of picture galleries and museuns and one might spend weoks thera with profit and amusement. From the bell tower of St. Stephen’s, the huge bell which was made from cannon taken from theTurks, there is n magnificent viow of tho battle: fiolds of Wagram and Easiing. This church i3 full of handsome stuined glass and wondor- ful chapels ana monumonts. The crypt of tho cathodral has been the burial piace of the roval family for conturies—that 1s, their bones are buried in St. Stephen’s, their hearts in St. Augustine’s and their bodies in the Church of the Chpucbins. In St. Augus- tine's is tho monument ot the Archduchess v, very much like d with the loveliest Christine, o masterpicce of Canova. 1t is worth o visit to Vienna, aod is the most beautiful monument 1 have seen yot. In tho Church of the Capuchins is the cofiin of the son of the great Napolson—Napoleon II, that poor, 1ll-fated young man, who, had ho lived, might have changed the faceof Isurope, as bis father did. In another place we saw the silver cradle that was presented to him by the citizens of Paris, Rubens and both of the Teniers are well represonted in the museum, but in the pri- vato galleries arc some of 'the masterpieces of Raphael,Guido, Titian, Correggio, Domen- ichino, Van Dyck and some fine specimens of scuipture by Thorwaldson and Canova. In the place whero the theater was destroyed by firo some ycars ago tho government has bullt a haudsomo black of buildings, the reut of which is given to the heirs of those who were lost in that frightful catastrophe. Wo were told there had been much_suffer- ing this wirtor umong the poor in Vienna. ‘Wao saw overy morning about 7 o'clock wo- men with baskets of all sizes and conditions (the baskets, not the women) going intn a building opposite our hotel, and on inquiring found It was where they recoived bread and soup, and there are many places of the same kind. e Vienna is full of the memorins of Maria Theresa, who seems to have been the Aus- trian Washington. Her pictures or statues are overywherc, as are also thosc of her son Joseph 11, who is one of the loveliost royal characters we read of. But Vienna has lost most of its historic and medieval uttraction, Itis a well built modern city, of which we have the very best iu America, and in Bu- Tope we profer who old castles, moats and ruins, Prague, with its quaint architecture, its turrets, spizes and domes giving it quite an oriental appearance, zave mo more pleasure. On top of u high hill1s alargo palace for- merly the rosidence of tho Bohemian kings, and behind it rises a bigher hill, where iv is said o paguus used formerly 'to celebrato tho ries of fire worsnip. On this nill stands the cathedral where the emperors of Austria are crowned kings of Bohemia. This chureh is full of curiosities. Over tho high altar is o picture of the Virgin, an exquisite work of art. The relizs said to bo in this cathedral are marvelous—thorns from the Saviour's crown, the pocket handkerchief of his mother, some of the bones of Abraham,Isanc, and Joseph, There is another church, whore the bodies of the protestant leaacrs aro buried. They ad been stuck up on the great tower of the bridge. it was hero the colebrated John Huss was born, the forsrunner of Luthor in tue Prot- estant religion. In the museim vou are shown the autograph challenge of Hu: challenging all comers to dispute with him his articles of faith. He was coudemned as & herotic by the pope, but protected by the king of Bohemin, but was afterwards tried, condemnod and burned at Constance by the order of Emperor Sigismund, and bis ashes thrown into the Rhine. This was the cause of the Husslte war, of which John Trocznow was the leader. Ho is the warrior who loft In s will orders for Lis skin to be made into a drum to frighten his enemies, The river Molaau 1s crossed here by a wonderful stoue bridgo, 1,852 feet In length, ornamented on cach side by twonty-eight statues of smnts and hias lofty and imposing lowers 8t each end. In the center of fthe bridge is a bronzo statue of St. John Nopo- muk, who was drowned 1 the Molduu, be. cause he would not divulgo to the king the recrets the queen bad intrusted to him in the confessional. In the cathedral the body of the saint is 1ncased in o crystal coffiu and over it @ gorceous silver surine, around which silver lamps are constantly burning, The Jews settlea in Prague at & y early date and bavo ten or twelvo synagogues one of them said to bo 00 years old, From Viennu to Prague passed very pear Austerlitz, and through tho piace where Napoleon is said to have massed his Wroops bofore the battle, Instead of taking the train from Prague to Dresden, we took a steamer that goes down tho Elve, from Prague to Aussig, aud we were richly repaid. The scenery is en- rhantivg, and oue sees su_much more, and to an advautage, from the deck of o steamer ihan from a car window. There is a rail roud on each side of the river, and a canal plso. Al wloug the banks were towns, vil lages, farws and castles, besides many ruined castles—the most extensive that of Behrechenstein,owned by Prince Lobkoyitz It was destroved by the siussites in 1426 From Aussig vou take a train to Carlsbad and othier Gerwan spas.

We wished to find lady frieud in Drosden, whose uddress we had lost. Tho banker to whom we applicd for the addross sent us to the chief of police. In ten miautes he hud given us tho address and minute description of tho lady.

Two llection was taken all over to the king, and he is this wonderful ins the most only modera looking towns. Berlin is a beautiful city with one of the finest bistorical museums in the world, a fine gallery of ancient and modern paintings and s0me of tho most magriticent bronze statutes in the world. The colossal equestrian stutue of Frederick the Great is exceedingly fine. The pedestal is twenty-five fest high. A bronzo group of tho leading statesmen and generals of the Thirty Years' war, life size, covers tho pedestal,and on the corners abovo are the statues of temperance, fortitude, prudeuce ana justice; between theso basre lievos, representing the life of the great king. Ou the Brandenburg gate is & car of vic- tory said to havo been taken to Paris by Na- polcon and brought back after tho battle of WVaterloo. What au old thiel he seems to have been. There is hardly o town in Italy or Germany, we are not shown sometbiug that he took, that had afterwards to be re turned. He ana that other old thief iered- erick Barbarossa came very near stripping Italy. In front of the museum is the largest vase of polished granite in the world. It s sixty- eignt feet in circumference, 'Tha stone was floated down the river Spree from Fuersten- waldo and was polished by steam engines, andis truly a beautiful work. Though the picture gallory may not quite equal that of Dresden or Florence, itis full of fine specimens of the Italian, French, Spau- ish and Flomish schools und the collection of Egyptian antiquities is the most completo in the world. While wo were at the royal palace the major domo, who took an interest in us be- cause we were Americans and told him in his own hingo how much we adwmired his Kaiser, gave us the opportunity of seeing all the royal family, haby prince, middle prince, Grandmamma Kaiserin Freaerick and ali. 1n other woras, he told us if we would remain a fow minutes in the court, wo would sce them all start for their drive, which they aid, and & more luguorious looking lot i have seidom seen, There was not o whole smilo in the whole party. Later in the day wo saw the emperor and ompress. Ho bad just veturned from bis hunting expedition, where he had been to work off his ire, causea by his ministers. Ho was dressed in a dark green mantle and Tyrolese hat, looked handsome, young and strong, and ono could but wish him success. “Unter-den-Linaen” was lined with psoplo from the station to the royal palace, but there was no demonstration. I'ie men took Off their hats and the women bowed. Tho cempress of all the Germans has not that swect and gracious bow and smile with which the queon of Italy blessos her sub- jeets. Thero does not seem to be so much of “that dignity that doth hedge a king" about this young emperor or bis pulace. He rides around or walks among his subjects and crowds flock iuto the courts una show rooms of the palace, even the poorost and humblest. There seems to bea war cloud, no bigger than the czar's hand, hovering over Europe.

Although the Japunese have shown their ability to construet solid structures, lack of means or inclination prevents the masses from housing themselves in anything more substuntiul than an Indian wickiup, though decidedly more artistic, After the nt destructive earthquake an Englishman, writing in one of the for- ©eign papers, expressed the fear that the effect of the calamity would be to ropress the tendency which had recently oxhib- ited itself to build of less destructible materials, but it is probable that the suffering and loss occasioned by thislat { est contlagration will more than coun- torbalance the fear which the seismic disturbunce inspived and induce the Japanese to think that the danger from earthquuke to well built houses is less menacing than that from fire in a city of eticks and paper. - ~ Mrs, L.

The roll of members of the eightoenth annual encampment has been issued,and it is safo to say that fully two-thirds of them will be present. If this be the case then there will come from lTowa's 497 posts such multitudes as will tax the city to the utmost to entertain. 1 Washington, The enate military committee, through Senator Manderson, reported against the claim of Sergeant Thomas O. Harter of Kansas for a lump sum of £10,000 as a reward for special services rendered during the war. The commit- teo took the high ground that claims made thirty years after the alleged vices were rendered, and after all per- sonally nacquainted with euch services were dead, were open to suspicion, and that congress was not justified in con sidering demands delayed so long that proof of their werth was not obtainable, The special service rendered by Har- ter, ns now related, consisted of going into the enemy’s camp in the dark day of 1862 and securing valuable inform tion that frustratea an attack on Wash- ington. Harter enlisted at Terre Haute, Ind., in April, 1861, joining Company I, [irst Indiana cavalry, which was sent to West Virginin and acted asa body guard for Rosencranz, Fremont and Siegel sue- cessively. On July 20, 186 Ha tor, whose during s known, was sent for by S 1 and asked to undertuke to get into Rich- mond and report what the enemy was doing. The trip was iraught with great danger, and after consiaering it and evolving plans for a night, he agreed to try. Being o locomotive engineer by trade und knowing the scarcily of engi- neers in the south, Harter determined to apply for a position on lines leading to Richmond. At Honeyville, Va., forty miles from his starting point, Ilarte was betrayed into the hands of Ashby's cavalry. He was treated as o spy, but made a strong play on the engineer racket. claiming that he was a southern symputhizer from the north in search of W job. After much scrutiny and catechizing Harter reached Richmond under t, with orders to report to General Win- der. He ingratinted himself into the confidence of the latter and was allowed toroam the city at will, reporting to headquarters every morning. The suc- ceeding events Harter himself relates as follow **At lust Superintendent Whitcomb informed mo that he wanted me to go to ‘harleston and take a train. General ider could give me a pass only for Richmond, and without a pass I couldn’t getout. BBut ho gave me an order for a puss on the Confederate War depart- ment, and it was granted vight off. Tt is dated August 15, 1862, und is now on file in the War department with many other papers. *The arain on which I traveled was one of a number that were hurrying large forees of confederate 1roops to the front. A whole regiment was ahourd. As I entered the only conch attached to the train I found it occupied by a dis- tinguished body of men. In the party were Jefl Davis, Gene wall Jackson, Buarly, Longst and A. P. Hill ana Gienerul Toll course T suid nothing, but as [ s wlone inmy seat and watched them [ won- dered my fate would be if theso men could vend my mind and guess my purpose. When we reached Gor- donsville 1 learned that the wholo rebei rmy was con- centrated there. I was now sure that a move of the utmost impor- tance was in contemplation, and that if I could muke my escape to our lines 1 that of could give information the whole course the war. ne to a stop at Gordonsvillo, wnd the confederate generals and esmen got off and took up their dquarters in tho town,and I couldn’t procead. I began to debate what to do next in order to effect my purpose, and after considerable veflection I went o A, P. Hill ana told bim I wanted to become a spy, siowed him 1y pass and told him my story, and succeeded In winning his confidence. The upshot of the interview was that he told me to remain with his headquarters’ ambulances and the day following ho would furnish me a horse. Orders were given for a gen- oral forward movement, andall that dny I rode with the ambulances, which, by the way were all marked *U. 8.," having been captured from MecClellan. In this way ws renched Raccoon Ford, 1 had seen Grant's army, but this army com- manded by Les secms to me, even now, to have been the largest’ and best cquipped army I ever saw. **My judgment inattaching myself to General Hill’s division was sound, nas it proved, for the very next dny after he had accepted my offer of ice as scout and uttached me to his Hoadquur- ters awaiting orders, while apparenily as ecp under an ambulance wagon, near General Hill’s teut, Toverheard a coun- cil of war and got the details of u plan of operation about to be put into effect. There were present at th council Generals Longstreet, Hill, Jackson, Leo, and Tolliver, As I listened to theircon- versation I thoueht suvely that the beating of my heart would betray me, for the very first stateinent I heard was that ouly Pope’s army was botween them and W ashington und they were con: fident with their 100,000 men in camp, since Pope had but 60,000, of defeating him and capturing Washingtoi This was August 17—Sunday, Forty eight hours’ ions were issued on this day. Lee confidently expected to sur- prise the union ariny, drive it off the field and draw his next” rations from tho commisiary department at Wushing- ton. For thirty-six hours not even a camp fire was built,for fear their where- abouts would be made known to Pope, whose army was only five miles distant, “On Sunday night Lee put out signal corps all along the mountain range run ning parallel with the river, which wero reported to General Pope early Monduy worning; and not understanding it, he ordered a troop of cavalry to reconnoi- might SATURDAY, MAY tor and capturo a station. General Jnekson imm diately ordored a compa ny of voluntec:aito go out nnd intercept | thi raid and eapture the troop, | intending that mot a man should get over the river again to tell the story 1o Pope. Perhaps a hun- dred men formed into rank, and a dozen others trailed behind to do hospital duty. A courier came dashing into camp with yhe morning papers from Richmond. Seeuring one of these of that morning’s lesuc went along with the squad that earried stretchers. Not five minutes clapsed before 1 saw my chance, and, darting through ravines and beuash, I reached the viver, the jumped in and swam neross, ot over 200 yards from the opposite shore I found o Pennsylvanin cavalry npany on picket. 1 nsked the captain to give'me a horso and guide to head- quarters immediately, for an attack might momentarily bo expected. My ppenarnnce and story must have carvied conviction, for he obeyed my request. As luck would have ity on the way I sed General Buford’s headquarters, with whom [ wus well acquainted I toid Buford the story as fust could talk. He gave me one of his ¢ srlies’ horses, which was standi right there, sent the picket back to the, rwver, and ir just fifty-five minutes from the time 1 left Lee's headquarters I jumped off that horse in front of General Pope's. 1 found a council of oflicers in progress. They evidently thought something was wrong, but did not know what. “ltold General Pope that Lee's plan was 1o send a force across the river everal miles above Raccoon Ford to make an attack, regardless of conse- quences. Pope’s attention being dis- tracted the muin body of the confederate force was to cross in his rear at Raccoon Ford, Pope said tome: ‘I did not know that there was an armed rebel nearer than Gordonsville.” Sending immediate orders to General Sigel, who would be the first attacked, according to my re- he commenced preparations to re- at, furthering them by burning his supplies, und, I huve since heard, spiked his biggest guns and started for the Rapuhannock er, twenty-five miles 3 The rebels ~ fol- lowed us so closely that we had a running fight, Sigel bringing up the rear guard. This com- mand being the lust to cross the river, he ovdered his men to push the boads off into the river and set the bridge on firo. Having seen the superior forco of the rebol army, I thought survely we would be annihilated, but that bridge at the Rapoahannock stopped them. Thus it proved that they did not get their U rutions from Washington, as I heard predicted under that ambulance the day before, “Whon General Sigel saw me he was delighted, and made me come in and drink with him, and ever co then he has regularly sent me a Christmas pres- ent.”’ nenmpment. committee on the Republic encamp- The Washington Grand Army of the ment, parade and review has informa- tion at hand which lends it to believe that there will ot be less than 60,000 old soldiors in line, making the parade larger than anyin the history of the organization, and possibly in the his- tory of the country in timo of peace. Tho committee Las decided that none but Grand Army of the Republic men and those orgunizations designated, ov to he designated, by the commander-in- chiefshall be permitted to participate in the parado. In regard to the request sade to con- gress for an appropriution of -$100,000 to Bolp defray the expenses of the encamp- ment, the prospects are not favorable for its passage in the house. The senate bill provided that one-half the sum be tuken from the national treasury, the remainder from the district treasury. The house appears determined that whatever sum, if any, is approprinted, must come out of the District troasury and refunded by the taxpayers. Wash- ington peopie are sore over the action of Lincoln posts in sending a delegation to the national capitai to protest ngainst the bill, Tho Washington Star says: “Washington is not asking aid from the ution on account of its love for the veterans or aid from anybody on any account. It calls upon its legislature to determine whether it agrees with the legislatures of half a dozen other cities which have decided that an encam ment appropriation is a proper memicipal sxpendituve, and if thut ques- tion is decided the Mirma- tive it calls upon its legisliture to make the necessary appropriation precisely as other municipal appropris- tions are made, exempting no one who is now « locul taxpayer under the lu The s0-called national approprintion in- volved is uot, as intimated by the Lin- co'n resolutions, money that might be in oxpend in pensions if not devoted to this purpose. It is money set 't by the law for the municipal purposes of the capital, and if it is not spent upon the encampment it will meet some of the material needs of the city in the shape of streets, sewers or perhaps a new municipal bui'ding. It is to bo hoped that Lincoln’s nction is based move upon ignorance than malice, and that when the situation is understood it will withdraw from a position which is discreditable to it and unjust to tho national capital.” Sonn of Veteraus, T. .
