The wave of pleasure and enjoyment which flooded everything has passed. Heidelberg, usually so quiet, assumed the role of a city of the world, and all was bustle and excitement in the streets, which were hung with flags and other decorations. The trains constantly brought new accessions to the crowd, and gayety and mirth reigned supreme. The dedication of the renovated _Aula_ of the University served as a prelude to the festivities of the week. On this occasion a splendid flag, embroidered by order of the wives of the faculty of the Academy, an equally costly cover for the scepter, and a silver inkstand were added to the treasures of the University. Conspicuous among the numerous presents received were a richly carved set of furniture--the gift of former students from Switzerland--and all the publications of certain book dealers. On the afternoon of August 2, the Grand Duke and Duchess arrived in Heidelberg, where they were received with much enthusiasm. They remained at the modest palace during the time of the jubilee, and whenever they appeared they were greeted with expressions of patriotism and love. On the evening of the 2d, the _Oberburgermeister_, Dr. Wilckens, extended a hearty welcome to the guests who had gathered in the over crowded hall. Vincenz Lachner conducted the musical part of the entertainment, which was charming. The German Crown Prince arrived early on the 3d, so as to accompany his royal cousins to the service in the beautifully decorated _Heiliggeistkirche_, on which occasion Prof. Bassermann spoke with great effect. At 11 o'clock, the Court appeared in the _Aula_, where the Grand Duke presided, in virtue of his office of "Rector Magnificentissimus." His address was followed by those of the Crown Prince; the _Prorector Geheimrath_, Dr. Bekker; Edward Zeller, of Berlin; Jules Zeller, of Paris; and others. In the evening the citizens and strangers were attracted to the _Jettenbuehel_ by the festival at the castle; from 7:30 until 10 o'clock the nobility held court in the _Bandhause_. The scene was like fairyland, all the outlines of the castle were marked by thousands of small lights, and the court was lighted by great candelabra. In the ever-increasing crowd it was difficult to find a place and to obtain refreshments, which were given out in immense quantities by the State. On the morning of the 4th the people thronged again to the _Heiliggeistkirche_ to listen to the address of the _Geheimrath_, Dr. Kuno Fischer, on the fate of the Palatinate and Heidelberg, which was preceded and followed by music. After this the participants in the festival were brought together by a dinner in the Museum Hall, and seldom have speeches so inspired an audience as did those of the Grand Duke and the Crown Prince. Never has Heidelberg seen such a torch-light procession as that formed by the students in honor of their Rector; 3,000 torches lighted him to the City Hall. He thanked them, and proposed cheers for the Crown Prince.
