TIE Assassination OLE PHI1LIp KoN1Nc

THE ASSASSINATION OF PHILLIP KoN1NGs
MARK.-The Countess Platen alone was tb
contriyer and executor of the Internal trans
action, which was simply the assassination O
.Koningsmark by sighted and reveneefu
woman. Koningsmark had rejected the ad
vanees of vixen who had neither youth MOI
beauty to recommend her. and some repued
Jest Of the Princess at her expense reused the
ugly hagridan to the highest pitch of fury, anG
she thought of nothing but revenge. The
medtated flight of the two objects of her ha
tired at last brought on the tragic crisis. Tie
Princess, in June, 1894, had made one fruitless
attempt, by appealing to her father, to escape
from the intolerable life of Hanover and Her
renhausen, and to be received back under the
protection Of her parents; but failing in this
she determined to take advantage of her hus-
band at Berlin to fly away with her lover to
Dresden, where August the Strong, Konings-
marks old comrade, had now succeeded to
the Electorate, and Immediately on his acces-
sion named Koningsmark his Major General
of cuirassers. All the arrangements for their
flight were made, Koningsmark's equipage
was waiting-with twenty-nine servants and
fftytwo horses and mules. On the evening
of the 1st of July, 1894, he made visit to
the Princess for the last time preparatory to
elopement The Countess Platen was made
aware by her spies of the intended flight, and
of the meeting of the lovers in the Princess
apartments Furious at the notion of being
banked of her anticipated vengeance, she
wrung from the Elector an order for his imrne
diate arrest, and by means of the arrest the
revengeful woman comprised his murder.
She placed four of tie Electors body-guards
in a hiding place behind projection of the
court chapel, and barred up every other
means of exit but the one which led in that
direction gave her accomplices orders to kill
the Count if he should defend himself, which
he was pretty sure to do when set upon by four
men, without warning, in the dark. She her
self lay in wait close by, to become all eye
witness of her own revenge. The Count
passed considerable portion of the night
with the Princess, who was getting ready her
Jewels and more valuable articles to take with
her On leaving her he endeavored to pass
out the way he usually went. The exit was
barred. He rushed in wild despair from door
to door, till he came where the ambush was
prepared for him. The four men set upon him
Koningsmark drew his sword and defended
himself, inficting several wounds on his ad
versaries At last his sword broke, and he
was overpowered, with severe wounds on face
and body. He was dragged into neighbor-
ing room, where the Countess Platen was
and when the Count, at sight of her, burst
cut into terms of execraton, she stamped with
her feet on bis bleeding face He was thrown
into vault filled with water, and drowned,
and his body was burned in an oven, and the
place then walled.

A REMARKABLE WOMAN IN PARIs.-The
Paris Patrie is responsible for the following
account Of a young woman who is exciting
public curiosity in Paris:
She is from five to six and twenty. Her
complexion is of a warm golden tint, like
Florentine bronze. She is never clad but in
black dress, made hi Ugh, and ending at the
neck in a row of large coral beads of blood
red, and at her wrists with bracelets of the
same material and hue. From beneath her
cap, sort of beret or Scotch bonnet black
also, and encircled with row of coral beads
flow long and thick tresses, so black that
they are blue. She is never seen on foot
Her "Fictoria' is drawn by a pair Of ponies
black as ebony, at a pace that makes the pave
ment smoke again. The black and red of her
costume and equipage, added to her bronzed
complexion, invest her with sinister and di-
abolical air. She is known only by the desig-
nation Of "a La Dame an Coral" Those who
have been curious enough to investigate some
thing of her history and habits of life, report
that she is immensely rich, travels with six
servants-two Indian women and four men,
one of whom is negro, the others being of
the same bronzed complexion as their mis-
tress; that she spends much of her time play
ing on species of GUzLA, or else practising
with saloon pistol at target which target
represents female figure of blonde complex
ion, about the size of the largest dolls; lastly,
that she is from Java, and lives exclusively on
fruits and preserves. She is said TO have
blown out the brains of one of her own slaves
who entered her apartment unsummoned |
But the most remarkable circumstance about
her is that day and night the shutters are
closed, and her apartment Illuminated with
candelabras. At night she sings plaintive mel
odies more like wailings than set tunes, and
she smokes opium and sleeps on panther skins.
She is said to be the widow Of great per-
sonage in the island Of Sumatra, who had
committed suicide after an outburst of jealousy
on her part, caused by bis suspected attach
nent to the wife Of an English naval officer.

| SEvERE.-The New York Times says
Those of our readers who are going to Pari
had better acquaint themselves with some O
the Inconvenience they will have to bear
The arrangements for public exhibitions are
generally bad everywhere, but in Paris they
are simply detestabe. "They order these
things better in France is a saying which
must soon become obsolete. In the first place
/ you cannot buy a ticket without showing your
photograph -and in some cases that is very
disagreeable necessity. We have, however,
known persons who are not at all ayerse to it,
Iou may alter your appearance; care may
make you thin; joy may make you fat, as
singing anthems did Falstaff; and then your
season ticket may be taken away, and you
may be hurled into prison as an imposter. All
this is very troublesome. Then, when you
get inside the building, there is nothing to sit
down upon-except your carte de visite, which
would be an insufficient accommodation in
most cases. But there is one NJ. Bernard
coming shortly with chairs, for which toll
will have to be paid-nothing is given for moth
ing in this French Exposition. They talk of
Yankee sharpness '-what is it compared
with our Gallo friendsl This show is one
great scheme for levying black email upon the
civlised universe. Fabulous sums have been
demanded for the room taken up by each
country, and now the visitor cannot move
without opening his purse. And then the
"polite Frenchman has made it very I'M
pleasant for some of his guests to 60 to the
Exhibition. A correspondent alludes to what
he calls " lavatory, ETC., question: The plain
fact is that the " etc's' have been shameful
" managed. Under marquee around the
building, where all the people sit and drink
their cheerful and invigorating eau sucree,
"we come" says this Correspondent, "to a
door with the word Danes upon signboard
stretched out from it, Is it retired? The
door of it is, like the door Of the next restau-
rant, in the midst of the gayest throngs; the
door also is glass, and it is set in a wall of
glass" The visitor must pass through =" a
crowd of men tipping beer and brandy, alb
sinthe and vermouth," to get to the lavatory.
Decidedly, all this is very 'Frenchy," but
not much according to the taste and habits Of
more fastdious people. 1t will be hard for
Americans to conform themselves to these Ia
test Paris fashions. In one of John Leech's
sketches there was Frenchman, with afueful
face, saying to another, " I've caught bad
cold am i'll; was imprudent." How 2"
"Why, yesterday l washed my neck" Judg
ing from the arrangements for cleanliness
which are thought to be sufficient at the Paris
Exposition, we can scarcely say that this Jest
was much exaggerated

Mr.. PEABoDY's PORTRAIT OF TIE QUEEN
There was given yesterday at the house of &
I gentleman IN this city, private view of the
portrait of Queen Victoria, which Mr.. Pea.
body received in Washington few days ago
Whatever may be thought concerning the con
CRAFTY Of presenting an expensive portrat-it
is said to have cost S75 OOO-to a benefactor
Of the poor, the picture itself is interesting and
curious, both as work of art and as showing
to what high pitch miniature painting can
be carried. 1t is hardly appropriate to
! speak of it as a miniature" nor does that
word give correct impression as regards the
size of the likeness, for though only halflength
| the painting is fourteen inches long by nearly
ten inches wide.
At the taking of the likeness, for the first
time for the presentation of her portrait to a
private individual, the queen sat in the only
robes of state she has worn since the death of
the prince consort-the costume in which she
opened parliament. 1t is black silk dress
trimmed with ermine, and long black train
similarly adorned. Over her Mary Stuart
capis The dem-crown, while the Koh--noor
and one rich jewe!ed cross, presented by Prince
Albert, form her only ornaments. 10 COM
plete the portrait, she gave the artist many
and long sittings. 1t is said that in fidelity of
portrature the likeness is not to be surpassed,
and the queen has expressed her unqualified
approval of it.
The portrait is done in enamel, on a panel
of pure gold. Enamel paintings, to bring out
all the briancy of their colors, have to be
burnt in furnace at leas: five, and generally
six times. The heat to which they are sub
jected is so intense as to be only short of that
which would fuse gold. The most exquisite
care is necessary neither to let the picture heat
too soon, nor, above all, cool too rapidly, as
in either case the enamel would crack So
large an enamel portrait was never before at
tempted in England. 1t was therefore, found
necessary to build small heating furnace
specially for the execution of this work. The
burning was successfully performed, and the
result is the most exquisite enamel painting
ever seen.
The picture is mounted in the most elabo-
rate and massive chased frame of pure gold,
surmounted with the royal crown enameed on
the same metal in colors.
II is Mr.. Peabody's intention to exhibit it
publicly here and in the Provinces, one-half
of the proceeds being destined to 90 to the
Southern Relief Fund, and the remainder to
some local charity. N. Y. World, lst inst
