scribed the following motto
''Bs LEBE DIE UNGARNIscHES.
HELDEA
AND
HELDINNEN.'
At the top waved the Hungarian tr-color
Of green, red and white. On three sides of
the tower, emblazoned in gold, were the
Lion OF England, over whose head rested
the crown; the insignia Of France on the
sides with military devices; and the stars
and stripes Of America waving over them
all, which emblematizcd the sympathy and
protection in the time Of danger and diff
Guilty the three great powers Offered to
the Hungarian Refugees. On the fourth
side stood a figure Of the heroine herself.
She was represented as standing on the
colorS OF Austria, and trampling them un-
der foot. In her right hand she carried
a staff, on which was placed the Cap Of
Liberty. In her left was a sword. Around
her shoulders and person was thrown a
red sash, indicative Of her rank as Lieu
tenant in Hungarian Regiment Of Cav
airy. In the back ground, Unfolding the
figure, We're the Stars and Stripes, the
Hungarian Tri-color and Ensiens Of France
and England.
The emotion Of Mile. Jagelo at witness
ing this beautiful design is described III
such hyperbolic style, as to tend to the
supPostion Of its being the exaegeration
Of an "unaedged'' reporter-we therefore
merely state that she thanked the host, in
her native language, for the compliment,
and then followed other honors and drink
ings of wine, to which, it is stated, she
responded standing. The Tribune de-
scribes her appearance as follows:
Her figure, which is Of the medium
size appeared to much advantage. Her
head and neck are finely formed, her coun-
tenance having a remarkably sweet ex-
preston. Her person is full, but Of deli
cate and graceful symmetry. Her hair is
of light brown, the masses Of which are
parted in plain and simple folds upon her
forehead. Her eyes, naturally mild, are
sometimes lit up with most brilliant and
piercing expression. In her demcanor
she IS exccedingly y amiable, kindly, reti-
ring and modest. She wore dress Of
light blue silk, with tri-color scarf grace
fully thrown across her shoulders. Her
ornaments were but few. but Of tie rarest
kind Of workmanship
After dinner she went into the public
room, accompanied BY Miss Donelson and
family, when the other ladies surrounded
her in groups, and babe her welcome 10
this land Of liberty.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Howard,
we were enabled to see the Polka coat
worn by this brave creature, when, for the
benefit Of her country, she exposed her
life, and went as a scout into the Austrian
camp. 1t is Of white cashmere, thick and
strong of texture, lined with red cloth, and
braided with cording Of the same color.
The sabretache, OF leather pocket, slung
over the shoulder BY leather belt, was
likewise shown us.
We are gratified to leain that arrange
ments are making to give these heroes
grand military reception, and from the Tri
bune we also select the following:
We are informed that the committee for |
Hungarian Exiles, of which the Mayor is
treasurer, are taking means to render the
needful assistance to the emgrants who
are now here, as well as to those who may
hereafter arrive. Messrs. Myndert Van
Ex-Mayor Havemeyer NJ. Fl. |
S. Draper, Jr., and E. D. Morgan,
of the committee, are active in the
matter, and will accomplish something
worthy of the occasion and the city.
II isstated that the story Mile Jagello's
engagement to Hungarian officer, which
was started by an English editor, is posi-
lively contradicted by the New York press.
Mrs. Partington, says thai her minister
on Thanksgiving day, preached about .the
parody Of the probable son.
