GEoRGEY AS HE Is.--The follow
ing details upon the present situation
and mode of life OF the once promis-
ing, but now fallen Hungarian Gen.
eral, are taken from a letter, dated
Klagenfurt, and addressed 10 the
Weiser-Zeitung:
Arthur Georgey, the former COM
mander-in-chief OF the Hungarian
army, has resided in Klageniurt for
the last two years without his pre-
sence having made the slightest diff
ference 10 the quiet course OF events
in tie town. The man who shook
first the throne OF his sovereign, and
afterwards the revolutionary govern
ment of his country, now beguiles
his privacy and loneliness with lanci-
ful experiments in chemistry and
physics. His usual companion is an
Englishnan, who scarcely ever stirs
from his side; but with this exception
he is almost entirely estranged from
society; and the only family he has
been know to visit, this, but very
rarely, is that of the cloth manuIac-
turer, Muir, whose acquaintance he
made during bis residence at Prague,
ten years ago, when, having left the
18th Hussars, he applied himself dill
gently to chemical pursuits. Every
now and then a rumor is spread that
Georgey is about to establish ehemi-
cal works in the town. He suffers
no lack of money, but draws from
our Che Austrian) government a
yearly pension Of 5000 fiorins, while
the Russians have already sent him
$1,000 roubles. in Two instalmenfs,
the first of 10000, and the second OF
10000 roubles; so at least say those
who pass for the initiated. Ills gen
orally believed that he is commission
ed by the government with the pre-
partition Of military history of the
Hungarian war, as several imperial
officers qualified to assist him in such
a work, have latterly taken up their
residence here, and visit him very
frequently, 10 whom. also, he dictates
by the hour.
His vile, a handsome woman, was
formerly a governess at Prague; he
married her in a fit OF vexalion. on
account of slight be mel from her
mistress, to whom he was paying his
addresses. His household is placed
on the simplest footing. He keeps a
cook, nurse, and a man-seFvani, a
Slovack, formerly a Honved, who
was his servant during the war
Among the common people his a2-
pearance awakens rather aversion
than sympathy; indeed il is said three
several attempts have been made
upon his life. However, it is Uut sell
dom that he is seen, as he will re-
main in the house for a month to-
gether, unless compelled by the
fearful entreaties of his wife. to take
a walk in the precincts of the town.
AT such times the young man (he was
only born in 1879 presents depIo-
rable aspect. His sunken eyes are
fixed in an unchanging stare, his
cheeks are pale and fallen in, bis walk
is weary. and he stoops as he goes.-
He usually wears a blue paletot, into
the hinder part of which his hands
are thrust. As if uneasy, he never
looks straight at any one. nor takes
the least notice il saluied. His whole
exterior suggests the unhappy con-
dition OF a man TO whom life is
burden. Very recently his wife has
presentedhim with a.fine boy, his first
child. This event, usually so well
come in families, appears TO have shot
moray Of JOY into his troubled mind. |
Who would seek in this forIorn crea-
ture the hero who, three years since
and dictator Of Hungary, |
the destinies of thirteen
Of men.
