*The Arpad alluded to by Kossuth, is the
celebrated chief or khan of the lIungarians
who, when driven with his tribes from the
banks of the Volga, towards the end of the
ninth century, settled on the Thesis, and, as
the ally of the Emperor Amould, beat the
Moravians in the year 800. Under the
weak rule of the son of Amould, Lewis,
surnamed the Child, he became master of
Pannonia, which the Hungarans have since
then kept possession of. Arpad gave his
name to Hungarian dynasty, which began
with ST. Stephen in 997, and which kept the
throne until the death of Andrew ILL.,, in
1901 This race of kings is known as the
Apades.

ton to the Hungarian refugees, on the 18th
October. He signs himself " Governor of

other suitable manner"

Miss Bremen to her American
Readers.

Mr.. Putnam has justssued in New York
the first volume of his proposed edition of
the Swedish novelist, beng her tale of THE
Neigh6OrS, translated by Mary Hewitt. 1t
will be seen by her American Preface, that
he has most generously extended to her tie
privilege of a native author, so that she is
directly interested in the sale of the work
Hear her sentiments concerning our coun-
try:
Among the many agreeable things
which have met me on my arrival in the
United States of America, | count as one,
the proposal OF Mr.. Putnam to give a new
edition of my work, on conditions which
cannot but be agreeable to me, since they
offer to me the privilege OF native author
But if an author has u beart-and authors
commonly have-the best reward, by far,
that can be offered to them, they will feel to
be that of sympathizlng minds of cordial
hearts and hands. And as cannot but feel
that Mr.. Putnam's proposal reposes on some
such basis, 1t is to me the sign of fact, to
which cannot but look with heart felt ioy.
as well as with feeling of wonder. For,
strange indeed and wonderful it seems, that
mere stranger, coming from shores far re-
mote, should be received by great nation
as in dear and loving home. Yet if bad
doubted that wonder, the first day of my ar
rival in New York should have convinced
me of its reality, in seeing family homes
opened to me, i'll a manner | shall never
forget, nor ever be able fully to acknowl-
edge, feeling as | even here, at this moment
do, in all the blessings Of perfect home.
This is to be the more gratifying, as indeed
my visit to America is intended most par
ticularly to its homes, to its family hearths.
And yet how few Of these homes shall | be
able personally to visit And should wish
to go to many, if only to express my thanks,
my gratitude. My books must go for me
some part of me will go with them; for hall
of an author at least is always in his books.
Go then, my books-go tell the homes of
America that wherever there is good hus-
band and father, true wife and mother,
