Georgey, the Traitor /.

To say that he is hated in Hungary
is to express feebly the feelings of the
nation towards him. The concentrated
bitterness of the people, trodden into the
very ground by the oppresscr, is poured
forth on the man to whom they entrust-
ed all, and who betrayed them. We
give one instance in an occurrence which
happened in Kiagenfurt.
Two honreds = common soldiers -
were returning from the regiment in It
ally, in which they had been drafted, to
their homes on furlough. They had just
money enough to be able to reach Kiag-
enfurt, and once there were utterly at a
loss what to do; in a strange town,
stripped of everything, and without any
means Of raising money. Though it
sorely offended their Hungarian pride,
they at last resolved to beg. One said
that he could not begin, and the other
offered to commence by trying coffee
house near by.
The very first gentleman whom he
addressed gave him several zwanzigers.
Surprised at such overfowing generosity,
he went and showed his gains to his
comrade, and told him to 60 in and try;
for if he had as good luck, their begging
would be at an end The other went
in, and came out soon, joyful, with his
zwanzigers. They were counting their
gain, when waiter happening to step
out, asked them if they knew who had
been so generous to them.
''No," they said.
"That is Georgey, the Hungarian
General"
Both the soldiers rose up, strobe into
the cofee-house, and dashed the money
on the table, before Georgey.
''Scoundrell we would rather die of
hunger than take kreutzer from you !"
and then left the coffee house.
The affair was soon noised about in
the hotel, and a handsome purse was
made up for the two beggared soldiers.
METAMoRPHoSIs IN SALOON. -
Jennie Lamont is the name by which
one of the pretty waiter girls in a Broad
way saloon, New York, has been known
for years past. Jennie is Canadian
by birth, young, and of comely appear
ance, and quite modest withal, in ap-
pearance at least, though her waiter
companions were disposed to insinuate
occasionally that, when "she had a
mind to, she could carry on like blazes." "
But the carrying on" was not done in
the presence of the patrons of the sa-
loon, many of whom, being much taken
with her modesty, and possibly by her
comeliness also, made especial efforts
to cultivate Jennie's acquaintance.
Some were finally successful in their eff
forts, the result being an occasional
Sunday ride with the fair Canadian, or
hot supper in fashionable saloon, or,
peradventure, box at the theatre or
the opera. Things went on swimming
ly for while, until muss was kicked
up in the saloon between the lucky
wooers of Jennie's fayors and those who
had been snubbed by her. And then
followed an Reimbursement" in which
the fact was revealed that the young
Canadian with the pretty face and pref
ty name was not girl at all, but a
''lubberly boy" with the very homely
name of James Day. There was a
commotion in the saloon when this ex-
posure was made, and many long, low
whistles were heard from parties who
had imagined to get into Jimmy's good
graces, as well as those who hadn't.
AS for Jennie that was, he was taken
before a magistrate, who, after repri-
manding him for his grave misdemeanor,
and ordering that he should be stripped
of his female toggery, and dressed in
his habiliments, bade him 90 about his
business and not play any more tricks
upon the susceptible patrons of pretty
waiter girl saloons. Jimmy departed a
wiser man, but not, it is feared, any
better woman than before.
