A Hungarian Hero Selling Cigars.

The young and beautiful Countess Dem- blniski, who came to this country in July last, with her husband, who is now honestly and nobIy supporting himself by selling ci- gars in Nassau street, next door to the office of the Evening Post, was born the Princess Csartoriska. It is somewhat sngu- lar, that while foreigners are so much caressed in our fashionable circles, this very lovely and accomplished young woman should not receive any attention whatever.
 ~. '. Eyening Post
 It does not so strike Us, says the Courier and Enquirer. The lady, however highly born, however lovely and accomplished, has done nothing to make her the exposure of eyes which see only through the glass of fashion. She has never obtruded herself on public notice-has never eIoped-has committed no breach of decorum and challenged admiration for it, on the ground of her rank-she has lived the life of a true hearted WOman:-what is there in this calculated to attract the attention, or en- list the sympathy, of "fashionable circles?''
 The Count, her husband, presents but another instance of the capricious fickle- ness of popular philanthropic lion hunting. Though young man, he was among tic most effective and devoted defenders of his country in her last struggle, and sacrificed every thing, rank, position, fortune and en- ployment in his patriotic devotion to her rights. He is an accomplished practical engineer-able to discharge all the duties of that profession; and yet on reaching this country, as an exile, seeking q subsistence for himself and his family, he is compelled 10 open a cigar shop as the only feasible method of accomplishing his purpose. We wish that some of our railroad or other corporations that have need of such service, could give him an engagement .'nere his duties would be more congenial to his tastes, but if this cannot be, we hope at ali events, that he will be abundantly successful in selling cigars.
