hth'iOh oIt ldCt W CldTdCleTlZe what KlnO
OF heart was in that cursed woman. On
the anniversary oil the day of Arad, where
our martyrs bled, she came to the Court
with bracelet of rubes gathered together
IN SO many roses as were numbered by the
heads OF the brave Hungarians who fell
there, and declared it a gift which she Joy
fully presented to the company as a me-
mento which she wears on her very arm
TO cherish its eternal memory, that she
might not forget the pleasure she derived
from the killing of those men who died at
Arad. This very fact can give you a true
knowledge of the character of that woman.
And this is the second claim to the ladies'
sympathy for oppressed humanity and for
my poor fatherland. / wish the free wo-
men OF free America will help my down.
iallen land to get out Of that iron grasp, or
TO get out OF those bloody fangs, and be-
come Independent and free. Our third
particular claim is the behavior of our la
dies during the last war. 1t is no wanton
pralse-it is fact what | say-that, in my
hard task to lead on the struggle and to
govern Hungary, had no more powerful
auxliaries, and no more faithful executors
OF the will of the nation, than in the wo-
men of Hungary. (AppIause.) You know
that in ancient Rome, after the battle of
Cana, which was won by Hannibal, the
victor was afraid to come down to the very
walls of Rome. The Senate called on the
people spontaneously TO sacrifice all their
wealth on the altar of their iatherland, and
the ladies' were the first to do il. Every
Jewel, every ornament, was Brought forth,
so much SO that the tribune Judged it me-
cessary 10 pass law prohibiting the ladies'
of Rome TO wear jewellery or any silk
dresses, in order that it might not appear
the ladies Of Rome had not, by their own
choice, have done so. Now, we wanted
in Hungary no such law. The women of
Hungary brought all that they had. (Great
applause.) You would have been astonish-
ed to SEE how, in the most wealthy houses
OF Hungary, if you were invited to dinner,
you would be forced to eat soup with iron
spoons and when the wounded and the
sick-and many OF them we had, because
we fought hard-when the wounded and
sick were not so well provided as it would
have been our duty and our pleasure to DO,
l ordered the ministry and the respective
public tunctionaries TO take care of them.
But the poor wounded went on suffering,
and the ministry went on slowly to pro-
vide for them. When ] saw this, one sin
gle word was spoken to the ladies of Hun
gary, and in few hours there was provis-
ion made for hundreds Of thousands of sick.

And | never met single mother who
would have withheld her son from sharing
in the battle but have met many who
ordered and commanded their children to
fight for their latherland. [Applause.1 /
saw many and many brides who urged on
the bridegrooms TO delay their day OF hap
piness till they would come back victori-
Gus from the battles of their fatherland.-
Thus acted the ladies of Hungary. That
country deserves to live that country de-
serves TO have future left yet, which the
women, as much as the men, love and cher
ish. [Applause.l
But have a stronger motive than all these
to claim your protecting sympathy for my
country's cause. 1t is her nameess woe,
nameless sniTerings. In the name of that
scean of bloody tears which the sacreei ious
hand of the iyrant wrung from the ewes of
the chiidless mothers of the brides who be-
held the hangman's sword between them
and their wedding daY-in the name of all
these mothers, wives, brides, daughters and
sisters, who, by thousands of thousands, weep
over the graves of Magyars so dear to their
hearts, aud weep the bloody tears of patri-
OF las they all are) over lie face of their be-
loved native land--in the name of all those
torurlng stripes with which the fogging
