Vienna (Julv 10) correspondence of the I'arU Llb-fi-te. 1 I have already announced to you that the testamentary executor of the Emperor Maximilian was Count Francois Zichy. I now learn that there is a second, Count Iladdik. Concerning the ills of the Emperor Maximilian and the Empress Charlotte some information of a pre' cise nature has reached me which cannot f-'l to excite the highest interest. From what I learn, which of course I cannot guarantee, although I have it from the best source, two wills, perfectly analogous, were drswu up by the Emperor and Empress.

Each of them, in case there was no issue of the marriage, leaves all the property to the survivor. Thus, Maximil-iau being dead, his fortune, estimated at from ten to twelve millions Of liorin6, only calculating his property at Miramar, Lacroma, and the anistic wealth collected there, revert to the Empress Charlotte. The will of Maximilian is there to attest it. But now comes the stranire affair. It is asserted that the Empress Charlette's will, written with her own hand, und which was carefully locked up in one of the rooms at Miramar, has suddenly disappeared, nobody knows how or where.

From that circumstance it results that, as the Empress Charlotte has no will and is not in a state to make one, seeing the almost complete absence of her mental faculties, all her lortune, including the part coming from her husband, tbe Emperor Maximilian, and which ought in justice, alter her deatn, to revert to the Austrian imperial family, will now legally fall to the royal one of Belgium.

The far-lamed Table Rock, on the Canada side of Niagara Fails, waich has ercited the admiration of thousands, from all parts Of the world, and frora which multitudes hare erzed on this master-piece of Natare's wonders, is ne longer in existence. It was at one time an' er-tensive platform-, jutting f.tr ont over the water below tfte falls. Portions have been falling for nearly fifiy years. In 1818, a mass 160 fett long and 40 feet broke Off and fell into the flood telow; and ten years later, in 1S28, tftree immense' masses fell' with a crash that sounded out above the eternal roar of the Falls. Again, a fragment fell in 1829, and in 1850 a hugemass two hfndred feet in length and one hundred feet in thickness.

Other portions fell in 185and in 1863. At one time upwards of fifty pcrssns had beem stand ing upon the rock but a few minutes before one of these portions fell. The only loss sustained, however, was an old hack from which the horses had been taken but a few moments before. Owing to tho frequent breaking away, of portions of the rock, it has- of late been re-garde aa dangerous, and persons have been va A against going on the rock, or under-nmitb it. Visitors have thus been debarred on of tbe grandest views to- be had of the i'crse-shoe Fall.

The danger is gone, but hh it the view of which Charles Dickens wrote: was sot till I came on Table Rock, and looked on the fall of bright green afar, that it. clinic npon me its run wetgni ana majesty. Then Niatrara was forever stamped upon my heart, an of beautv, to remain there, changeless and indelible, until its pulses cease lo beat forever." For two weeks past efforts have been made to disengage what remained of the rock, by blasting with powder. Advantage was taken of a deep chasm formed by the weight of the projection, to sink a hole ten or Cfieen feet deep, and then insert in the crevices an immense blast of powder. At 6 p.

today, the match was applied, a dark column of smoke and sand arose, and a terrific crash was heard, and the last of this ouce magnificent rock, still huge ia its proportions, aud weighing hundreds of tons, roiled in the seething cauldron below. I. C. P. L.VTt SEWS ITEMS.

The question is frequently asked peculiarity does the Chickering piano possess that has gained for it its high reputation for superiority 1 We confess that the striking charac teristics are difficult to enumerate. The instru ment is a combination of characteristics forming one grand whole, hich other instruments have failed to surpass, if they have even equal led. There is not a single quality which one desires in a good parlor instrument which is not fonnd in the Chickering pianos. Nor are these qualities isolated in the Chickering pianos for instance one instrument with a tremendous bass and another with a brilliant treble but all are combined in the most harmonious manner, and every instrument sent out from the establishment is warranted perfect in every respect. The Cbickerimrs, as the oldest firm in America, claim that their workmanship has stood tha test of time, and that, in addition to the old and sterling excellence of their grands, squares and uprights, every improvement that science has effected has been added.

The recent result of the Paris Exposition clearlv dem onstrated the fact of the being tAc piano. All the world knows now that the Imperial Conimisbion awarded to the Chicker- 4UK nauos me Grand Gold Medal, and created Mr. Chickering a Knight ofthe Legiou of Honor, which every one knows is the highest reward forgepiusand skill that France cau bestow. 1 his proves beyond a question, that the Chick- erings are the oniw best piano makers in the world, and stamps their instruments as the most vertei that ham ever beeu mnde. Mr.

0. C. Mellor, the exclusive Agent for the -nicKermg rranos, has now a choice assort ment, in his W'arcrooms, No. 81 Wood street, to wmen tne attention of purchasers is solicited. A Chicago View bt as Outside Party Is contained in tbe Chicago Time, 14th, aud which says: "The Cbiekerings no longer claim, to have the first medal, but say, that as one of their firm, Mr.

C. F. Chiekerinc, made sufficient intercut to secure a decoration of the Legion of Honor from the Kmperor, ought to be counted as an Exposition prize, while the Stein" way advocates with much apparent justice urge that cot being offered by the Exposition or possible' to be conferred by it. such an honor can ei.nul lor nothing as an E.rposit:on prize, and besides is strictly personal. They also point to the rand testimonial medal of the Paris Society of Fine Arts, wnich Is certainly an extraordinary and unusual compliment, as being much more than an offset to any pos ible personal onois.

The Steinway argumeuts are ccrtaiuly the weightiest, and the Chickering men appear to feel it so. For many years, even till it saw Steinway pianoo, Boston believed in the Chick-erings. When their reputation stood highest, Chickering pianos were a Boston institution and their factory a Bostou boast. It proved too big to pay and a part of it was rented as a musket but this was an excellent idea, as when pianos would not "gooff "muskets would. Extracts Iron, the Tcstimonj.

Andrew Johnson at Nashville and Washington. The Influence of Women. Frcm the Cincinnati Gazette. Washington, July 1S67. From a great mass of affidavits taken for the Judiciary Committee, and which have not been used in making np tho case against the President, the following will throw some light on various subjects of interest to the public.

The names have been suppressed for obvious reasons: EXAMINATION OF OF TUB CITT OF rniLADBLPDIA. Q. When, if ever, were you upon the staff of Andrew Johnson, then Governor of Tennessee, and in what capacity? A. As a temporary aid from tho 15th of August, 1S64, to the I2thof November, 1804. Q.

State whether you resided in his family, and how intimate you were with him? A. I did not reside in his family; I boarded in a hotel at Nashville, Tennessee, but during the political campaign of 18C4, 1 accompanied him from Nashville on his tour through Indiana and np to his return to Nashville. Wegot back November 10th. During that time I occupied the same room with Gov. Johnson, and wrote his private dispatches and letters.

Browning, his private Secretary, was also with him, but the most of the time was not able to do business from illness. Q. While at Nashville did you know a person by the name of Mrs. 1 A. I did the widow of a confederate officer.

Her husband was reported killed in the early pan ot the rebellion. Q. Please describe the woman. A. She is a little over medium height, between forty and fifty years of She has a married daughter; is of rather light complexion, light auburn hair, blue eyes, and has a tinely developed form.

What, if any, terms of intimacy existed between the woman aud Governor Johnson? A. I left Nashville on the USHh day of December. During the tirao I was there this woman bad the eutrea of the White House at all times, r-be had ob'aiued permits to trade in the miy of ihe Cumberland for hcrsot. -in-law. I saw i the hand-writing of Gov.

Johnson's aid, ned by him, which she brought out from his office, reeoinmendiug her son-in-law to President Lincoln and to Secretary 8tanton one to each recommending her son-in-law for a position iu Savannah to take supplies to Savannah after we heard of the capture of that place by Sherman. I asked her as she came out of the otlice if she had got the documents she wanted, and she showed them to me. Her intimacy with aud calls upon Gov. Johnson were matters of common uotoriety and scandal in Nasbville. Her son-in-law arter-v remarked to mc, that the old woman could twist Andy Johnson rouuel hcrfingerjust as she pleased.

Q. What was this woman's reputation for chastity in Nashville at the time. A. She was known as a woman who retailed her virtae for money. i Q.

How well known wa this reputation? A. In July, lbiio, when I was on duty in Nashville as Lieutenant, Gen. Rosecrans issued an order that all the bad women should be sent out of the city, and I was ordered by Capt. Ed. M.

Hitlbnrt, Assistant Provost Marshal and Chief of Military Police, of the IStti Mu lligan Infantry, to assist in the execution of th's order. In the performance of this duty I first heard of this woman, and learned from ail the fast people and fast women witli whom I was in contact, other character, which was so bad I determined lo have her arrested at all hazards butBbe had suddenly disappeared. Cpou making inquiries for her, I was informed by several people, and especially by Joe Cheatham, a do-Urctive, that 1 had belter let that woman alone, or I should get myself into trouble, as she was Andy Johnson's woman. Accordingly I ceased the pursuit. Afterwards I saw this same woman at the capital as I before stated.

It bears the seal of a well known notary: "I knew Niel Brown, once Governor of Tennessee, and a noted rebel. He came to Nashville once, in Ism.

It was a very hard matter to get a pass to get through the lines, and Brown wanted to get one. He called on the Governor, and the Governor refused all in tercourse and interviews to other people that day, and was alone with Neil 8. Brown.

SURRATT'S TRIAL. FORTIETH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS Ruling ofthe Court as to ETldencc. Washington, D. July SS, 1807. Judge Fisher decided not to strike out evidence as to running of trains between Washington and New York, delivered yesterday, unless tho prosecution shall have failed to con nect the prisoner with one of those trains.

Tha testimony as to telegraphic communication between Elmira and Washington, whereby it was possible for the conspirators to communicate with the prisoner, stands upon the same footing, and will be stricken out if the prosecution shall fail to connect the prisoner with the conspiracy by that instrumentality. Mr. Bradlev noted an exception. Considerable additional evidence on both sides as to the character of Dr. Bissell, was submitted.

Diocussion subsequently occurred on a motion to strike out certain testimony by the defense: first, that in relation to the attack upon Secretary Seward; second, that ralating to Jacob Thompson; third, that relating to the shooting of Union soldiers and a gunboat fight, as testified to by McMillian; fourth, evidence given yesterday in relation to telegraphing; 5th, evidence in relation to running of trains on April loth, 1865; tjth, the letter known as the Diivall letter, picked up in the waters of North Carolina, and 7th, ail evidence relating to At-icerot at the Kirk wood House. The defence claimed this was a trial for murder, not conspiracy, and this evideuce had n) relation to the case of the prisoner. The prosecution contended that all thisfje was legitimate except the Duvall letter, which they have not properly connected with the case, and had no doubt it should be stricken ont.
