provided them with his own carriage and
four horses, and an escort, and in this
way they started through the snow fnr
Shumla. Their journey was without any
apprehensions Of danger. for the British
Consul General at Belgrade, Mr.. F.
had provided the party with passports as
British subjects. under the assumed names
of Mr. and Mrs. Bloomfield. yet the sever
ity Of the weather was such that Madame
Kossuth. in the i'll state of her health suf-
tered very much. Often the snow was ~
deep as the breast of the horses, and not
untrequenty tour oxen had to be attached
in their places. A journey which ia sum.
mer would require but u lew days, now was
made in twenty. eight.
On the ,wsnty-eighth day. courier was
sent in advance Of them to apprise Gov
ernor Kossuth of their approach. Hs was
i'll; and moreover. on account OF the many
plans of the Austrians to assassinate him.
tho Sutans authorities could not allow him
to leave Shumla, and 60 to inset his wife
The news of her deliverance and approach
occa asioned the lveliest satisfaction to all
the refugees; and the Hungarians and
Poles went as far as the gates Of the city
TO meet this heroic martyr OF the cause OF
Hungary. 1t was night when tho carri-
ages nsared the city; as it entered the gates
she found the street lighted up with hun.
dreds of lights, green, white and red the
colors of the Hungarian flag. and was
welcomed with the most friendly shouts
from the whole body OF the refugees.
When Madame Kossuth descended from
her carriage, she found herself in tho pres
ence Of her husband, who had risen from
his bed OF illness to receive the poor "Ma-
ria F-n," OF the plains Of Hungary
In the place OF receiving her in his arms,
NJ. Kossuth, overcame by his feelings of
admiration for the sufferings which his wife
had undergone, and by gratitude for her
devotion to the cause Of her country, threw
himself at her feet and kissed them. She
endeavored to speak and offer her husband
consolation and tranquility while her own
poor feeble heart was ready to burst with
emotion. Her voice failed her, and amid
the reiterated shouts of tho Hungarians
and Poles, this heroic woman was carried
to her hu'Oand''.partmsn'.
In march Of tho past year, some seven.
ty persons-the chief of the Hungarian
refugees among whom were several Poles
were conveyed in one of the steamers of
the Sultan of Turkey to the place desig.
mated for their future residence in Asia
Minor. From Shumla they travelled by
land to Varna, on the Black Sea, from
thence they were taken in the Steamer to
Ghemlik, in the Gulf of Madaneih, in the
Sea Of Marmora, without being allowed to
stop at Constantinople. They crossed
from that place to Broosa, at the foot of
Mount Olympus, after short delay there.
agitated by hopes and fears they continued
on 10 Kutayah. Madame Kossuth is with
her husband, and, greatly through the la
bors of Madame l., who undertook
another journey into Hungary for this pur-
pose, she now has her children with her.
Among the individuals who persisted in
remaining at kutayiah with the Ex.Gov.
ernor of Hungary, and his lady, are Mad
anne l. and the relative, who. during
the dangerous wanderings in Hungary,
figured as her husband.
In the United States they will all find
hearty welcome; and in the paths of pri-
vate life each will find that sympathy and
assistance to which their patriotism and
their sufferings SO strongly enttle them.
