A FIGHT IN A PALACE. A Set-to Between -the 1Cniperbr oFAus- tria and the Archduke Henry—The Three Warnings front a Petulant • Meer. There took place on March 12, at the Hofburg,'-the grand palace of the Em- peror Francis Joseph of Austria, an event. not equaled in the recent annals of Eu- aopean royalty. What gave rise to it was the visit which an old Transylvanian peasant named. Raker Visacky had paid three days before td the Emperor. The peasant and his sovereign were old ac- quaintances, and a very peculiar link ex- isted between the two. Their connection dated from the- year in which the Ern- peror's second brother, the ill-starred Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, was on ths eve of his departure for Mexico. A week or two previous to -that event, Harker Visacky, covered with dust and bearing every trace of extreme fatigue; demanded to see his Majesty without de- lay. During the interview the old man told him that- he had travelled ,adl the way from Transylvania mf foot to Vienna because he had. a strange vision in regard.. to the. Emperor's brother, the Archduke Ferdinand. Maxiinilian. He said he had seen, in this vision,the latter in a foreign °country, standing up before a file of sol diers, who were shooting at him. Her-, ker Visacky added that he had repeated- ly had other visions of important events,. which had afterwards turned out to be literally true. Francis Joseph, like most of !the Hapshurgs, is superstitipus, and. the words of the old Transylvanian peasant made a deep impression on him. He thanked Herker Visacky, made him a liberal present, and asked him to visit him again if he had anything further to communicate. • —The town of Guelph,notwithstancl- fair average crop of peaches may be in g its apparent prospects, is financially looked for this year."

SILVERWOOD, N. C., April 4, 1873. From the short time 1 have been here - and from the experierme I have had i I am quite confirmed in the opinion that I have done wisely in coming here. I am confident this country will soon be filled last. On this occasion the cad peasant said that he had seen in another vision a Prinee of the Imperial House, as Regent of the Empire, opening the Austrian Par- liament ; that the Prince had been had- ed as, liberator of the country, and had bad pledged himself so tide it thenceforth in state of repair, and the buildings a truly liberal spirst.

The greatest obstacle in the way of a settler is that tbe fences are in a added, was married to a low -born wo- man,- and for.some time past•had been in Vienna without the Emperor's knowl- edge. Fraught Joseph was startled. He sent for the Chief of the Secret Police of Vienna and asked him to find out wheth- er or not the Archduke Henry, who it is well known is married to an actress of very humble descent, who in conse- quence is not allowed to live at the Im- perial Court, was secretly in- the city. About noon on the Ilth of March, after a two -days' search, the Emperor was in- formed that the Archduke had.been for several weeks incognito at a private house in Wieden suburb. This added to the Emperor's agita- tion, and he sent at once for the Arch- duke Henry, his cousin. What oceurrel. next is not accurately known, but after a brief and angry conversation between the tyln Hapsburgs the servants in the ante - Nein were startled by a noiselike that of two perione engagedin a scuffle, mingled. with loud curses. The door was sudden- ly torn open, the Emperor appeared with his face flushed crimson with anger, and. dragged out the Archduke Henry, whose nose was bleeding profusely. There could be no cleubt but that the Emperor and his Archducal cousin had been fight- ing. Before the servants were able to recover from their amazement the Arch- - duke had made hie exit from the ante- room and the Emperor had returned to his cabinetawhere he remained for sever- al hodrs ‘afrward. . Next day the ser-' vents who had hitherto done duty in the imperial ante-romn were sent to one of the Emperor's. castled in Dalmatia, -no doubt to prevent them from divulging the scandalous affair. But it has leaked out nevertheless, and the people of Vi- enua say that ever since Libenyi in 1856. wounded the Emperor with a knife in the neck, Francis Joseph Ids been sub- ject ti sudden and uncontrollable ebul- litions of terrible anger, and that on such occasions he ' will at °nee cerne from words to blows. • es,•,as Don Carlos on Spanish Affairs. A correspondent has had. an interview with Don Carlos as his temporary stop- ping place in the south of France, on the Spanish borders. Don Carlos justifies his present course by saying the act by Which the throne of Spain was given to Some for less. I was offered a place, the other day, for $2 50 an acre; 250 acres; good orchard and fair house; is said to be rather stony, but I have not seen it yet. There is plenty of land to pick from here, but it has almost been ruined by fJor farming. If the farmieg were as good. here as in Canada, I believe the country would soon look like a paradiee. The natives all admit that it is a pod, clover and wheat country, though very little of either is sown. I saw an .Eng- lishman named Wakefield the other clay wlio told me he cuts as heavy wheat last summer as he hacrever seen in Canada. This man says the climate is beautiful, and thinks the het not so oppressive as in *Canada. This is considered a back- ward spring here, yet now things are as far forwai as they often are in Canada in June. It is a. ;mistaken notion that there are no native grasses here. There is grass in the roads and cattle run out and do well. - I will admit the school system here is bad, but some improvements are being made. The mauners and customs here - are very different here from what, they ere in Canada. In country places, most of the women chew to,bacco, But I find the people very friendly and. anxious to hear the.
