KossuTH AND THE DEMOCRACY OF EUROPE
Meetings were held by the foreign exiles of differ
ent nations Wednesday morning to welcome
Kossuth in body, and to present him flag. They
proceeded to the Irving House in such numbers
that Broadway presented packed mass, from the
midst OF which rose the hags OF Italy, Hungary,
and several other countries. From the balcony
the sight was very striking and beautiful. Stew
arts store was filled with spectators, chiefly ladies,
and the whole assembly remained in perfect ST.
lence, except when they occasionally broke forth
in huzzas.
General Ave1zana minister of War of the Ro
man republic) and Professor Filopanti (who first
received the deposition Of the Pope and the cstab
lishment of the republic in Rome) stood beside
the hungarian patriots, with several other mem
bers of the committee. Kossuth appeared feeble,
suffering from severe cold.
General AveZzana addressed Kossuth in French,
telling him that he saw before him representatives
of the democracy of Europe, who appeared as
tives OF different countries, to welcome his arrival.
The flag which they had brought was presented
and waved over his head, and general shout Of
applause from the crowd.
A short speech was then made by member of
the committee in too low a voice to reach
"Vive la Republique Universelle!" shouted
from the centre of the crowd, which received
with general acclamation.
Kossuth then said in feeble voice, which was
hlrdly audible in the balcony, that he regards De-
Inocracy principle, and Socialism a politi-
cal question. He adhered to the principle; but as
to the policy of Socialism, if it is applicable to any
other country whatever, Hungary does not need il.
He requested Sgnor Filopanti TO speak in his
name, and acquaint the assembly that his health
did not allow him TO make speech; and he accord
ing informed them that the Governor of Hungary

Decatur and Barron.

The Richmond Wing, explaining prev
ious article in relation 10 the late Commo-
dore Barron, makes known The following
particulars of what took place between that
officer and the lamented Decatur. after The
unfortunate duel between them:
Ii might have been inferred from what
we said in reference TO the duel between De-
catur and himself, that the difficulty origin
ated from charge of cowardice made by
The former upon his conduct on that occa-
sion. This was not so. Shortly after the
verdict Of the Court, which suspended HIM
for five wears, Commodore Barron went
abroad and did not return TO this country
until some time after the close of The war
Of 1912. IL was III reference TO this that
Decatur used those disparaging remarks
which led 10 the unfortunate duel between
them.
After the exchange Of shots, and when both
were wounded-mortally as was then sup
possd-they were brought together by their
friends. aud mutual explanations took place.
Decatur asked him why he did not return
from Copenhagen when the war broke out
and take part in the struggle in which his
country was engaged. Commodore Barron
replied that he was really so poor be had mol
the means to pay his passage home. The
gallant and generous Decatur then said, why
did you not tell me Of this before-no dit.
ference could then have occurred between
us. 1t is melancholy to reflect that misap.
prehension of such character should have
caused the loss to his country Of one Of hel

Dark Hours.

There are hours, dark hours, that mark tho
history of The brightest year. For not q
whole month in any of the millions Of the
past, perhaps, has the sun shone brilliantly
all the time. And there have been cold nnd
stormy days in every year. And yet the
mIsS and shadows Of tie darkest hours were
dissipaIed, and fitted heedIessly away. The
cruelest of the ice feters have been broken
and dissolved, and the mos, furious storm
loses its power to harm.
And what parable is all this Of human
life-of our inside world, where the heart
works, Al lis destiny labors. Here too. we
have the overshadowings of dark hours, and
many cold blast chills the heart TO its core
But what matters iii Man is born a hero,
and i is only by darkness and storms that
herosm gains lis greatest and best develop
menr and illusiraton-then il kindles the
black cloud into a blaze Of glory, aud The
storm bears il more rapidly to its destiny
Despair not, then. Never give up; while
one good power is yours, use it. Disappoint-
ment will be realized Mortifylng failure
may attend this effort and that one-hut only
be honest, and struggle on, and il will all
work well.
