KOSSUTH.

Twenty years ago as popular man as
there was in the world, and who was es
pecially idolized by the American people,
was Louis Kossuth; and it is strange to-
know that of his own choice he was
dropped from public notice and is to-day
as little known and thought of, in the
string events of the hour, as the least of
the people of Europe. No one had greater
ambition or was gifted with greater
eloquence but rep ated disappointment
of his hopes regarding Hungary finally
accomplished the end of his dreams and
his efforts together, and quickly-it seems
now that in single day-he voluntarily
humbled himself to the lowliness and
wished for nothing but a pardonable
selfish peace and a quiet death. Never
theless there are paragraphs in the press
occasionally regarding this once dis
tinguished man, for the world will not
let him altogether alone. "Kossuth,"
said one of the paragraphs, recently
printed, "has again entered the holy
estate of matrimony, his wife being the
daughter of Swiss gentleman The
paragraph bears irs own denial but the
BroOklyD Union takes pains to correct 1t.
and adds some interesting facts regarding
Kossuth The Union is authorized by
Madame Louis Ruttkay (nee Kossuth),
tie sister of the patriot, to contradict the
statement. That the Austrian govern
ment is unrelenting toward Kossuth is as
we'll known as that he has been elected to
every Hungarian diet since the corona
ton but he persistently withholds him
self from all connection with politics, and
is living almost the life Of a recluse, with
his sons, Frances and Louis, Turin In a
letter to his sister he says:
I'm do not know person in Turin and
dread to come in contact with foreigners.

from America to return on a lecturlne

not publish anything. Col. Thasz, one
