album. which is the testimonial from the
Count to the President. The ze2rescutt-
t'ons commence with his first lessons In

horsemen in the world. The accidents which
atte nted his sport5, in beirg thrown from
the animals, breat ing through bridges, tam
Ing fences, tumblfDg down precipices and
swimming swollen strelms, are made the
more interesting from the fact taat the rider
Ieyer received more serious injuries than |
or slight flesh wound.
The ei1t Is q testimonial to the President
Of the Counts sympathy with the American
people In their struggle against the rebellion. |
He vas formerly IN sympathy with the Con-
ftde1ate cause, having, In common With
many Other FOREIGNERS, been made to believe !!
the numerous falsehoods which the rebel |
agents have been SO active in circulating Ia |
lDfuehc cia1 quarters ebroad. But becoming |
acquainted with Col. Allen, the Intelligent |
apd impartial statements of that gentleman
concerning the great struggle in which we |
ne BoW engaged caused the Count to change |
lis visWs, and hence his testimonial to tie /
President and expression Of sympathy In
oebalf Of the Federal Government. The
lift Is accompanied by the followfng s,pnIH- |
