lenz, it appears, had lost heavily at the
Vienna Bourse, especially operations
connected with the Austrian Credit Mo-
bilier, in which venture alone his losses
amounted to 10000 francs. At first
the Austrian journals refused 10 admit
that his death was caused by his suicide;
they have since, however, acknowledged
the fact, A Zurich newspaper relates
that the Field Marshal, who had arrived
in that city few days previously, had
killed himself in his room by shooting
himself in the heart with pistol. Upon
his table was found a number of letters
and telegraphic dispatches, prepared
with his own hand, in which he an
nounced the news OF Lis death to his
relatives. Another journal OF Zurich
says that short while previous to his
fatal determination to take his life he
had invited two of his friends to pay
him visit at eleven o'clock pm.
on the day of his death. When
they reached his rooms they found the
doors locked. The doors were then
forced open. The sleeping apartment
was empty, bur in an adjoining cabinet
the body of the General was found
stretched upon sofa His head was
hanging behind the cushions, and the
right arm was lying in q military pose
upon the right leg. His left hand still
held the pistol grasped in it, The by
ISLANDERS, says the newspaper in ques-
ton, were struck with the beauty" of
the death scene. The heart had been
pierced by the bullet Lying ON the
table 10 front of him was note written
in o firm hand, and by the side of the
note was a pencil This aote he had
directed to be read at his funeral. 1t

butI can no longer live. The elevated
functions with which | am clothed were
especially agreeable to me because of
the good that cotld do on every side.
1t was toward this goal that all my efforts
tended, and now it is my consolation.
For long time | have suffered from q
nervous irritation which for months has
rendered me unable to sleep. The mea-
sure is full !"
In another letter he prays a certain
pastor Of Zurich to attend to his funeral,
which be wished to be as simple in its
circumstances as that of the most hum.

left one hundred francs for the poor oI

General Won Gablenz was sixty-nins
years old. He took distinguished par
in the campaign of Lombardy in 1859
and in 1864 at the invasion of the
duchies, he commanded the Austrian
forces. At Sadowa he had two army
corps under his command. Since then
he had been commander-in chief In

PITTsBuRG. February 10.
Nine Zeluma Agra, lady of prepos
sessing appearance, commonly known
as the " Circassian Beauty who was
closely concerned in New York sensa.
ton of last September, and was travel
ing with menagerie and circus, has
appeared lately at museum in this
city. Among the visitors to Ike estab.
lishment was gentleman named
Bruce, who resides and owns considera
bic property in the Twenty-frst ward.
He was deeply smitten with the girls
appearance and cultivated manners, and
his visits to the museum at once became
so frequent as to attract not only the
attention of the attaches but also Of the
patrons. His visits grew more fre-
quent during the month of Janu-
ary, until it was noticed that
he came in the morning and re
mained until the establishment
closed for the night. About two weeks
ago he began to press his suit with the
warmth of Romeo, and insisted on an
immediate answer to his proposal of
marriage made some days before. This
she refused to give, stating as reason
that he vas entirely too hasty, but or
the expiration of the time of her en-
gagement she would give the matter her
serious consideration. Fearing she
doubted his asseverations of love, he
drew up document which contained
the bulk Of his affectionate promises,
and also, it is said, transfer of much
of his property. He had it legalized
and forwarded to the Circassian. See
ing that she would not yield to his en-
treaties, he took rooms at the Union
Depot Hotel, that he might be near her
at all times, and his visits to her became,
if possible, more frequent than ever.
On Saturday night last he remained at
the museum until it closed, aud then,
bidding the girl good night, be stated his
intention of calling on her on the NOR.
row. She refused TO see him when be
called, and he then returned to the hotel
Then his actions we're noticed to be
strange enough to excite suspicion. He
grew worse very rapidly, and it soon be-
came apparent that he was insane. On
the following day medical assistance
was called in. His friends also visited
him, but their efforts failed to restore
him to reason. The name Of Zeluma was
constantly on his lips, aud he spoke Of
her in the most endearing terms. From
that time forth he grew rapidly worse,
and yesterday was a raving maniac, and
had he amoved to the Dixnont In
sane in irons The girl is the
picir Lsery over the sad results Of
the hig o, aRd expresses herself as
having liked the gentleman very much,
and having had no idea that such fate
was in store for him.
