Lessons in German, English, and Hungarian,

The advertiser is none other than the
once celebrated dictator of Hungary. He
is now almost utterly forgotten, even in
Hungary; he has grown very old, and is
now so poor that he will gladly give you
a lesson for single franc. This would
seem very humiliating to him, and yet he
is proud of his poverty.
He says:
''Three years ago my friends at home,
in Hungary, offered nae present of fifty
| thousand forms. / rejected the offer,
and never have regretted it, even when
was hungry, and had no money to pay
| for firer'
I had occasion, the other day, 10 call
upon him. / was no stranger to KOssuth.
Twenty years ago he had given me, in
| London, a great deal of valuable inform
alton for my book, Hungary in 1S49"
! | found him in very small room, in the
fourth story of dingy old building. He
| sat alone in an easy-chair, porting over
an old volume. When | entered he did
not recognize me. l recognized him,
and was shocked. What change these
twenty years had produced in his once
handsome and interesting face! His hair
was entirely white, his cheeks wan and
| hollow, and his eyes utterly dlmmed.
| His form, once erect and proud, was
now painfully bent He almost groaned
as he raised himself to bid me welcome.
He was deeply moved when informed

he warmly clasped my hand.
ooh, yes, oh, yes" he said, in German
Il know you now. Everybody forgets me;
no one calls upon me; no one cares any
more for me! Why should l remember
! those who once were my friends 20
| To this I objected. | asked him how
he could be forgotten when his friends in
| Hungary wanted him to return to his ma
tive country, and take again an active
part in its affairs.
Kossuth smiled very bitterly.
"Oh, yes" he said, "return to Hungary
dishonored, with an oath of allegiance to
the Hapsburgs who murdered my friends
and klnslnen, and who set price upon
my head. | am neither a Deak nor an
Andrassy."
l asked him how he got along.
We'll" he said sadly, "were my good
children and my poor wife alive yet, [
would be happy, even in my old age and
poverty. But they are all dead and am
very lonesome! That is what renders my
exile here, where people are so kind to me,
SO distressing. 1t would be no better IN
Hungary. | have no kinsfolk anywhere
but IN the New World"
why, then, not go to America again,
where your name is still revered?' lyea-
tured to say.
oh" he replied, II have often been
sorely tempted to go back to the United
States, but there are two obstacles in the
way: In the first place, it would cost
more money than l have to spare; and,
next, l am almost sure that in my present
enteebled condition, would be unable
to bear the sea voyage"
All this was very melancholy, and [
hastened to change the subject OF our
conversation.
L showed him the proofshoets OF the
chapter On Andrassy in my new work on
Austria. He put on his spectacles, and
holding the paper in his trembling hand,
read carefully what I had written

Sir wnIter RaIeiga FIumuxed.

The Paris Intelligence, of Jan. %, has
the following: y few days since, when the
mud was deepest, 4 very gallant youth un-
dertOok TO drive one Of our bellies a few
miles in the country. On the way the
buggy got stuck in the mud so deep that it
resisted the most strenuous efforts of the
noble horse TO extricate it.. Our youth,
giving Il farewell glance at his polished
boots, leaped out, hoping that thus relieved
of part of his burden, the animal could pull
belle and buggy to frmer ground. After a
vast amount of whipping, scOlding, and
~floundering in the mud, during which the
lady became excited, the gallant spread his
shawl, down in the mud, from the buggy to
a dry place on the side Of the road, and re-
queSted her to get out. The lady either
not wishing to use this shawl-causeway, or
being too much excited to think of any
thing, bounded clear of shawl and buggy to
the dry place, a distance of six feet, leaving
the gallant to pick his shawl out of the
mud with a chagriD which consumed all of
fhis vanity, and continued to devour it as
asst as the article vas generated for the rest
of the evening.

A Grand Success.

The concert at the Second Presbyterian
church last evening was favored by a very
large and a~ppreciatiye audience. The
choir, assisted 10y a few Of the finest sing
eTs Of the city. certainly rendered the Sc
lecti0ns Of sacred Song in a most pleas
ing manner and q manner that deserves
great praise. We cannot speak too highly
Of the trio by Mrs. Hart, Mr.. Stewart and
Mr.. Ashford. Suffice to say that that alone
was worth the admission. And the duet,
80 Saving Host by Mrs. Hart and Mrs.
Vessel, was rendered with equal excel
lence. Mr.. Stewart acquitted himself in
his usual good manner with the tenor solo,
IF With All Your Hearts, 4 solo by
Mrs. Vessel, "Aucels Ever Bright and
Fair" was admirably rendered. Mrs.
Hart, Nashville's favorite, gave rs her
parting solo, Jerusalem, from. Mendels-
shon, which, as ever, drew forth the admit
ration of her numerous friends, and caused
them to regret that We so soon shall lose
her. May She find as warm friends i'll her
new home as she leaves in her own native
City of Rocks.

The Tennesseeans.

The following notice of these singers,
who recently left this city on a concert tour
through the North, we clip from the Rich
moRd (Ind.) Independent:
The Tennesseeans gave theirfirst concert
last evening at Lyceum Hall, to a crowded
house. From the many favorable notices
that appeared in the leading papers, our
people anticipated a rare tIeat, and they
more than realized their expectations.
Their songs are the simple, Old-time, reli-
gious melodies Of m uncultured people.
We desire to mention specially the song
"The Old Boat a solo and Duet, and
SWAY Down on the Swanee River the
solo parts being sung by young ladies' who
have remarkably fine voices and distinct ar
ticulation. But the most remarkable per-
fomance of the evening was the Duet by
Irwin Brown and sister, in whichthe young
man SANG in falsettO. 1t was the most
complete falsettO ever heard, tie tones
being so completely feminine ana perfect
that many persons doubted the ey -dence of
their own senses when they heard him sing.
We trust that our citizens will no fOregO
the rare treat of listening to these singers
either on this or tomorrow evening. Their
object is the raising Of a fund for the build
ing Of an institution Of learning at Nash
vile, to be known as the Central Ten
nessee College, an institution much need
ed for the education of the colored peO-
pie,

Maurice ERSan.

The MUrfreeSJ0ro Ners publishes the fol-
lowing with reference TO the late Maurice
Pagan:
Eagan was a whO~le-sOuled Irishman, who
had nothing but good will to men ON
earth" and his death will be regretted by
ali who knew him.
While in Nashville recently and waiting
for a train, we were standing in front Of his
stand with several gentlemen, and while
Of the party was making 4 purchase,
another requested Eagan to give him a
good bargain, saying thai he was an Irish
man. 'Yes, l know by the cut of his
nose" said Eagan, and continued, ''wOuld
you believe me, everybody wants to be an
IriShman? Why, when on my voyage
round the world, I went ashore on n Of
the South Sea Islands, and speaking 10 a
negro IS black as the sillS Of perditiOn, he
answered me back in a rich brogue, be
jaberS, I'm IS good an IriShman rs you
are, and ever since then / believed that
anybody can be an Irishman if they
wished"
\ young man who had taken just "a
drap more than he could carry well,
stepped up to the stand and inquired Of
Eagan what a cup of coffee was worth?
Easan replied that he sold them for 4 dime,
but there was no telling what it would be
worth to a young man ike him, if he would
never drink anything stronger than it was.

who is charged with larceny of liquors, etc,
from the saloon of J. 7. Crowds, on Dead

a considerable amount from these tranSac-
tiOns. The other boy who was a party to
the robbery, has not yet been arrested, hay
