in Pittsburgh on Saturday. He was attending tho
United States Court as juror.
The following trait in tho character Of Baron
Bruck the Austrian Minister whose frauds and suicide
have been so much commented on recently will re-
mind many persons of the late Postmaster of New
York; it is from foreign correspondent in Vienna
"The inhabitants of this city are now divided into
two parties one of which believes that the late Minis
ter Of Finance was guilty of embezzlement to very
large amount the other that no heavier charge can
Justly be made against him than That he was too good
tursd-,oo ready to obfge the men with whom he had
been on intimate terms while merchant at Trieste.
Although man of rare energy, Baron Bruck wasto-
tally unable to say nay to an importunate sutor, and
this weakness taken advantage of by many OF his
designing and greedy acquaintance and hangers-on.
Another Of his characteristics want of due consd
eraon in fact the inconsderaeness of the Minister
of Finance was almost proverbia In financial circles
il is stated that the value of Improperly left by Baron
Bruck does not exceed 600,000f."

A letter from st. Petersburg, of the 22d Of April
says:
The st. Petersburg papers announced lately with
out giving any other information, that Lieut. Meyen-
dorf of the Horse Guards, and student Of the Uni
versty named Denidoh were to be tried by court
martial for having fought duel. AS much has been
said about this duel, must tell you the particulars.
Baron Meyerdorf, son of the Emperors Equerry, was
at grand ball given by Count Borgh. NJ Demidof,
neVhew of the husband of the Princess Matilda,
WIS likewise there. He is immensely rich,
and gives himself airs which are by no
means agI eeable to his comrades. M. Demidotf was
speaking in loud voice in very disparaging terms
TO the Princess GalzeD Of an absent person. The
Baron de Meyendorff though at distance heard him,
and politely requested him to cease to speak ill of one
of his friends. NJ. Demidoff replied that he would
epeak as he pleased, without any apology TO NJ Mey-
endor The latter told Ism again TO desst, and at the
same time the Princess Gahtzen said to NJ Demidof
" Are yOu afraid Now is your tine to show your
self" NJ Demidof then challenged Baron Meyen-
No. III ~ dow with ar
PAGES. The signal had not been given when Nj. Demi-
dof fred and missed his antagonist The Baron then
said TO him: Last night you were mpertinent, and
to-day you have proved yourself to be deficient IN
Demdof in the leg. The affair made great noise; the
Emperor heard of it. and commanded that the duests
should be tried by court-martial."
The following letter from Roger A. Pryor is en-
tertaning and quite Pickwickian in its style. 1t is
addressed to The National InteHigencer:
A few days since received an issue of The Summit
Beacon, Black Republican paper published at Akron,
Ohio in which the editor gives account OF speech
delivered in that place, on the 18th of April by the
Hon. Mr.. EdgeTton, member of the House Of Repre-
sentatives My attention was especially directed to
the following words in the report Of Mr.. Edgertons
speech:
acy Mr. Edgeron pqngent snd
present e held The audience in the earnest and
bandled with meIciless ridicnle."
On reading the above paragraph, resolved to have
an explanation of Mr.. Edgerton. Accordingly, met
him on the street yesterday-he being accompanied by
one Of bis colleagues, and / by the Hon. Mr.. Lamar
and NJ. w. Cluskey esq. Approaching the gentle
man. raid, al Mr. Edgerton, believe ~ he respond
ed "Yes; how are you, Mr.. Pryor." proceeded:
+" understand Mr.. Edgerton, that you took occasion
to blackguard me in recent speech in Ohio He
at once replied 81 No, Sir, did not" continued:
"Did you say nothing offensive about me (" He ans
wered, mo nothing whatever" i turned to the
bystahders and said, "Gentlemen, bear witness" Az
ter which left Mr.. Edgerton, and terminated the IN
terview.
The appearance of the report of Mr. Edgerton's
speech in Tile Summit Beacon makes il proper to give
publicity to the colloquy between him and myself.
Mar II 1890 ROGER A. PRYOR.
Ex.Presdent Pierce ard bis former Secretary, Dir.
Sidrey Webster, were in town on Saturday. Tie
Dasly Neus says;
Both are looking contented and convalescent-the
former having changed his appearance good deal by
letting bis full beard grow and very glisly crop 1t is.
Mr. Webster is smiling and urbans usual-very i'm
pressve in his delivery Of remarks eaogsic OF Presi-
dent Buchanan, and very sound take 1t, on the
issues involved in the Douglas controversy. Mr..
Pierce smiles little than he in the habit of
sui when q tenant of the White House; and he has
contracted during his long residence abroad that pecu-
ha1-shrug of the shoulders which is the French gen
ylenans best eloquenee. What mischief II any, this
conjunction may portend the future must be lett to de-
vslop In the mean time, and before the conspiracy
is discovered, congratulate both gentlemen on their
good looks"
