- "A curious and somewhat ludicrous little
incident occurred at Belgrade the other day
which has been talked about, and is not
without a certain signifcance. A body of
well-knowa rServians, all members of the
extreme patriotic party, marched through
the streets with long boards down to their
knees, escorted by q number of BARRIERS,
razorsin hand, and in this array entered the
fortress, where the BARRIERS proceeded at
once to strip these bearded bards of their
hirsute adornments and send them out clean
shaved. The fact is that at the lombard
blnent o. Bal grade in 1862, these Servians
had vowed never to let a razor touch their
faces until they could do so in the fortress
itself on the day when the Turkish troops
abandoned it, and they completed their VOW
in. the manner have described. s
The Count di Castiglione, private secre-
tary and chef dU cabinet, of King Victor
pEmmanuek died suddenly a few nights
ago, as he was escorting the newly married
duke and duchess of JAosta prince and
Princes Amadeus, of Italy,f TO Stupinigi,
country seat of the kings near Turin.
The count was riding a little in advance of
q mounted party,w ,whoo were accompanying
the cortege. He was suddenly seen to drop
his feins and fall to the ground, and when
lifted by some bystanders he was found to
be quite dead. It is stated that he had
lately had apOplectic warnings, although
he had scarcely arrived at middle age
The count was the husband of the brilliant
and beautiful Countessde Castiglione, who
used to be one of the attractions of the
French court some two years back, and
whose appearance at a fancy ball in the
singular and scanty costume of Flanbert's
CartlIagenian herione, Salammbo, is not
Syetquite forgotten. The Count and Coun-
tess dis sCastiglione had been for some years
separated. d.nSIisIA fnerH 80 Irer.saFl-ir
