All the diplomats, generals and other dignitaries assembled in Hofburg yes” terda afternoon and were presented to lyrince Rudolph and his bride. who later in the da departed for the Chateau of Laxeu rg, where they arrived at 7 o’clock in the evening. They were enthusiastically welcomed by the people, and the town was illuminated. The rinse and Princess of Prussia bade them farewell during the afternoon, and will leave for Berlin to-morrow. The Prince of Wales will proceed to Pesth to be pre- sent at the entry of Rudolph and Stephanie. The bridal procession walked from Hot- burg Palace to the Church of St.Augustine. through the Argus passage, which route is always used on such occasions. The dis- play in the church was magnificent. Day- ight was excluded. and the sacred edifice was lighted with countless small gas jets around the pillars and walls. At half- est 6 o’clock yesterday evening a grand 3. dinner was given in Hofburg. there bemg a hundred covers in gold and sixty-four in silver. All the representa- tives of foreign countries and the highest dignitaries of the Empire were present. On the right of the Kaiser sat Stephanie. Rudolph. and the Princess Victoria. of ‘Prussia. On the left wore the King of the Belgians, the Prince of Wales,the Countess of Flanders,and Prince William of Prussia. Opposite the Emperor eat the Empress“ having the Count of Flanders on her left. The music was by the Court band, under the direction of Johann Strauss. After the sixth course the Emperor gave a toast to the happy union of Rudolph and Stephanie. As the procession passed there was an immensemultitude in the streets, and the church was densely crowded by a brilliant and striking assembly. A fanfare of trum- ’ pets was the s' al for the arrival of the cortege at the o urch door, where it was received b Cardinal Von Schwarzenberg at the hem? of his clergy. Their Majesties took seats under the cane y over a throne. The bridal pair proceed to their places before the sanctuary rails, where they offered a short prayer. After a brief address from the Cardinal, the marriage ceremony was proceeded with. The Prin- ‘ cess Stephanie broke down at the critical int in the ceremony and cried as if her eart was breaking. and trembled with nervous excitement. Prince Rudolph was calm and collected, and acted with uncom- mon good sense, and succeeded finally in calming the agitation of his bride. The tears and timidity of the Princess had a marked efl’eot u n the large audience of , royal and noble adios, and caused many of I them also to shed tears. The bride was arrayed at the altar in a wonderful robe of cloth of silver, and looked extremely beau- tiful. The wedding was made the occasion of extensive imperial amnesties and chari- table giits. The city is filled with rejoicing people, and the fem are magnificent. At the moment the rings were exchanged peals broke forth from the bells of the city and calves of artillery were fired. At the con- clusion of the ceremony the Te Deum was sung, after which the Hofburg choir exe- cuted an old German march.

When a man on the “dr ” bank wants adrink he goes down to t e river and blows a horn kept there for the purpose. Then the barkeeper hails from the other side and asks him what he wants. The order is then communicated for a whiskey straight, corn and rock, and [cocktaiL as the taste of the party dictates. This is put in the buket on the other side, and quickly transferred to the side opposite, where it is taken out and the price of the drink or drinks put in.

Not only were the words whispered into the apparatus at Calais distinctly heard at Dover. and of course vlce norm. but the listener at one end was perfectly able to distinguish by the mere tones of the voice the person who was speaking at the other end. The scientific specialists resent were astonished at the di culties successfully overcome in the enor- mous condensation reduced by the metallic covering w ich protects the cable, and in ‘the induction caused by the simultaneous passage of tel raphic des- pstches along other wires of t e cable. It ‘ . should be observed that while the human voice was being transmitted through one‘ i of the wires the other was employed for the transmission of ordinary telegraph messages. Moreover. the experiments were conducted between the hours of 10 and 4â€"that is in the busiest time of the day, when the wires are in increasing requisition. The voice of the speaker was distinctly heard as soon as the wires were joined to the apparatus, and conver- sations were‘carried on without interrup- tion in the presence of Sir James ‘ Carmichael. Chairman of the Submarine Telegraph Compan . Mr. Sabine. Mr. Desprointes and ot er competent special- ists experimented with the same apparatus. The experiments were then continued with the same results, and in the midst of the confusion produced by the simultane- ous working of several machines at the London terminal station. the voice of the speaker was heard as plainly as though he had been in the same room. There can be no longer any doubt that is is practicable to converse across. or rather under, by these easy means, with any submarine ‘ cable, and the success of the experiment gives us ideas of the possibilities of rapid ‘ ‘oommunioation that a few years ago would have belonged to the realms of dreamland alone. The inventor maintains that it is j just as easy to talk across the Atlantic as ‘ from one room to another, and he has suc- ‘ ceeded so well in the first practical illus- tration of his a paratus that one is scarcely justified in den ting his assertion that he has found out asystem by which words . spoken from the other side of the ocean can be fixed on their arrival here and treasured . up for future use. 93¢): hujng oopcchzod A agrqgig dqujié Seaunablo Illnu for the Housewives. nl'o The Peri: correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph lend- the following mount of the late“ scientific ”nation: ANOTHER BOIEN'NFIO TRIUMPH.
