The Washington Star says that "the death of Crown Prince 1 udolph only disposes of one keen disappointment felt I Or years by the Austrian people to bring in another. Rudolph, as a boy and up to the time of his marr.-age with Ste phanie, nearly nine jears ago, was looked upon as likely to become a safe ruler. Of late years, he had fallen into dissolute life, separated from his young wife, and rapidly aggravated the consti tutional weakness of his family by physical ex ees. His death introduces dilemma in legard to jthe succession. Rudolph's only chi d is a little daughter not regarded as a child of good health. Should she die the crown wou'd go to Prince Karl, the Emperor's brother, who, wfth his two sons, are pretty thoroughly dliked by the . Austrian. The little Princess Elizabeth is therefore likely to become Empress some day,and, until she matures, the match-making powers will le ransacking all Europe to find a good, virtuous, 'and wite husband for her.!' ; - i .

Jamas liiliespie Wains nas oeen so long in pnblic life that his history is an open secret to every citizen. He was the sou ot Epbraixn L. Blaine and Marie Gillespie, and a grand son of Ephraim Blaine, who was the trusted friend of General Washington and an officer in the Continental Army. Mr. Blaine was born itf West Brownsville, Washington County, Penn., January 31, l&30,and is there fore nity-nine years of age. Mr. Blaine received his first schooling in Lancaster, Ohio, where h went in 1841 to reside with a near relative, Thomas Ewinc then Secretary of the Treasury. He pre pare 1 for Washington College and wai graduated from that institution in 147. While teaching in a military school in Bias Lick Springs, Ky., which was his first venture after graduating from college, Mr. Blaine met Harriet Stan wood, of Maine, and after a brief courtship they were married Blaine soon removed to Augusta, where ha purchased a half interest in the Kennebec Journal and became iti editor. Mr. Blaine's debut in the political arena dates back to 1853, when he was chosen a dele gate to the first Republican Convention, which nominated General ' Fremont for tht Presidency. After a short experience as editor of the Portlaud (Me.) Advertiser, Mr. Blaine launched into a political ca reer. In 1853 he was elected s member of the Legislature, and served three terms of two years each, and the last two terms as Speaker. While in tha Legis lature he becara 3 Chairman of the State Committee, which position ha held uninter ruptedly for twenty years. In lorf3 Mr. blaine took his seat in Con gress, where in one Jbranch or the other he terved for ethtoeri years. From this on Mr. Blaine's biography need scarcely be told. In the brief months of Mr. Garfield's Presidency Blaine was Secretary of State. His memorable fight for suprem acy as a leader of the Republican party with the late Roscoa Conkling is also too well known to need rehearsing. So, too. is his defeat when he ran for the Presidency igainsi Grover Cleveland. After this Mr. Blaine turned his attention toward completing t i book recounting his expert ince while in Congress, and, although he did aot take an active part in politics, ne never loosened his grip as the leader of the Repub lican pirty. , Mr. Blaine is possessed of an ample fortune ini is a familiar figure in Washington so Jiety. Secretary of the Treasury. J1 Ex-Senator William Wind am, appointed Secretary of the Treasury, has filled tha responsible positioa before, having been chosen by President Garfield in 1831. Hav ng lived many years m Minnesota and har sg represented that State in the United States Sena e for three terms, the popular xnpression is that be is a native of that State, whereas he was born in Belmont County.

Being of a gen al lisposition and possessing some legal abilirr. le was made prosecuting attorney for Knox County in 1S53. He held the position until 1S.VS. when he removed to Minnesota. Soon after his ar rival in that State he decided to mix politics with his law business, and very soon became a prominent figure in the Reonblican ranks, and in 1859 hia party sent him to Congress. He served from 1859 to 1669, two terms . as Chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs. In 1ST0 hm WM anrvunU 1 V TT;I f1, SnaU ton tne unexpired term of Daniel 8. Korton, deceased, and tubsequently wh ckd ior ue term that ended in 1S77. He was again elected for toe term that closed In 1NJ3, but resigned in ISSl to enter the Cabinet of Prescient Garfield as Secretary of the Treasury. J Upon the accession fO. President Arthur in the same year Secretary Windom retired from the Cabinet. Upon hia return to Min Besota the Legislature of that State elected aim to serve toe remainder of his term in the Senate. In that body Mr. Windom acted as Cfcairmaa of the Committee on Appropria tions, foreign Affairs and Transportation. Within toe past few years ex-Senator Windom has made Kew York city bis head quarters, being engaged in the promotion of railway and financial schema. Secretary of Wan Red field Proctor.! who. it is said, has been given the portifoUo of the War Department, is a native of Vermont and was at one time Governor o? the State.

' Speculating as to what the future land battle will be l.ko. i ord WoUeley says: 'The tattles of the future will be very different from even those of lbO, and will Lear very little resemblance to those of Crimean times. One remarkable change will be the absence of nearly all that terrific noise which the discharge of five or six hundred field guns and the roar of musketry have caused in all great battles. WeBhall have, practically, no moke to mark tbe position of the enemy's batteries and troop? in action. The soun4 of cannon will be slight, and will no longer indicate to distant troops where . their comrades are engaged and' the point upon wh ch they should con sequently march. Our sentries and ad vanced posjs can no longer alarm the main body upon the approach of the enemy by the di charge of their rifles. The camp or bivouac will no longer be disturber! at night by the spluttering fire of pickets in contact'- with the enemy. Different arrangement! for giving the alarm upon the approach of hostile columns will have to be resorted to. The main column on the march cannot in future be warned by the shots of flank ing parties, of the .enemy's proximity, and a battle might possibly be raging within a few miles of it, without that fact becoming at once apparent." :, It can hard y be exaggeration j to as sert that the invention of a noiseless and smoKeless powder will change the aspect of future lmttledelds and the conditions of future war, fully as much as the original introduct on of the "villainous saltpetre" changed the warfare of a past g.-Timc'Democnit. Greek Onions in ew York. "They are fine, boss, fine.M urged the man, holding out. for the inspection of a Third avenue grocer.a handful of oddly shaped vegetables. "They are Greek onions, and people who have eaten them say they are .sweet er and pleaaanter than any American or Bermuda onion. . ixty five cents the crate. Come on, if we don't sell some pretty soon the boss will have a fit." Tbe vender glanced apprehensively out toward his wagon, on which sat a neatly dressed, swarthy faxed man. That roan is a reek,"-be went on. "Some of his friends in the old country sent the fruit id him crates in all. They cost him f 1. U aerate, lie couldn't tell 'em at the markets and. we are try ing to peddle 'em out of thewagon. He put eve y cent be owned into tbe onions and he'll commit suicide if be loses it all." The gTocer, out of kindness, took ft single crate. This was six weeks ago, and be has every on 'on left.: I have talked those onions to every body who has come into my store: but it's a new thing, and nobody will ba e them, and my tomue is beginning to parch in my throat. ly wife prepared some, and they are vjry nice.uicy and toothsome." The onions differ from all other varie ties, in Xhat they are abaj'ed like a gilli dower apple or an inverted plump-boh.

This vast room was magnificently decorated in every part, in the center was a Cluneal pagoda, fifty feet long, thirty feet wide aad nearly sixty fees high. It was two stie tea high and was festooned with flags and bust ing. In the pagoda the Marine Band and Beck's Orchestra, of Philadelphia, were stationed; the former furnishing promenade music, and the,, latter music for HsfMngi Wound about each of the eight greaj columns were four streamers of laurel each 120 feet Ions and in the spaces ; between tbe streamers great palm leaves covered up the marble pillars. Midway between the floor and ceiling two great American shields wsre fastened to each pillar, and at the bate of very column was a boad band of crimson plush, bordered with yellow plush.

It was thirty feat long, had all its sails set, and thickly interspersed r with laurels and eTrgreenof which it was made, were roses, milk weed balls and bright coy ored cut flowers. The piece typified the "Ship of Stata" Ben aath the interstices of the two other groups of streamers hung great balls of laurel an 1 cut flowers, each ten feet in diameter. ' At tbe wset end of the room an immense ou portrait of President Harrison-bung in a shaded and paneled plush frame twenty feet long by ten in width, and at the east end there was a similar likeness of Vice-President Morton: On the tiled dancing floor be neath each portrait was a great jI aster , of potted plants, ferns and palms. The reel novelties of the florist work were the symbolical pieces which represented the several departments ot the Government. 'Each of these pieces was about 8x15 feet in size and was made of Immortelles, roses and laureL The eight pieces, repre senting the eight departments, were sus pended at intervals from the arches of the first gallery.

At the bead of tbe room stood a double floral chair twelve feet high and ten feet wide. It was made of immortelles, greens. and roses and in the back of either side of tbe chair the words 'Harrison' and Morton' stood out In bold relief. Above these words was tbe Inscription "Inaugural, 18S9," and over tbe chair was a Coral canopy of roses and other flowers. To the north of the President's room was the room assigned to the ladies of the Presidential party and to the east was the V'ioe-Preskienfs room. . President Harrison.
