A PRINCES MARRIAGE In OREGON.
THE FORTUNES OF A LEADER IN THE
AUSTRIAN REVOLUTION OF lsi8.

IhN FORTUNES OF bEADER IN THE
AUSTRIAN REVOLUTION OF lsis.
A few days ago the Oregonian
contained q list of marriages during
the year, and among them appeared
the following notice! ''December 13,
Prince G. j. Nadasky and Marie
Won Reiche." The oddity of titled
Wedding in Oregon led our reporter
to investigate, and here follows the
true story. Prince Carl Johann Na-
dasky, sole heir Of a wealthy aud
influential Austrian family and long
line of illustrious ancestors, was dur
ing the revolutionary war of 1S48, a
young officer in the Imperial Aus
trian Guard. When sentence of
death was passed on Robert Blum,
the famous revolutionary leader and
a favorite of the German people, the
young officer was detailed to COM
mand the detachment of soldiers
whose bullets were to terminate the
life Of tbe noblest and bravest man
Of his age. The fortitude Blum dis
played at the execution and his part
ing words so impressed the young
soldier that few months study of
the liberal publications of those days
sufficed to lead him into the revolu-
tionary party. But the feudal gov
ernment triumphed, and Prince Ma
dasky, together with many other
prominent leaders, was taken prison.
ers and condemned to death, But
through the influence Of his relatives
his sentence was commuted 10 lm-
prisonment for life, and he was sent
to the dark tolls ofan Austrian fort
ress.
Eight long years the Prince lived
the life of convict, until at the birth
Of the Crown Prince Of Austria he
was liberated, but banished from his
country for life. He came to San
Francisco and devoted himself, under
the assumed name of II. Meier, to the
business of flower gardner, earning a
livlhood and accumulating a small
fortune. About five years ago he
was married to q German lady of no
bic birth, who was impressed with
the cultured and gentlcmanly de-
meanor Of the gardner. Not moro
than a year past he removed to this
State, and lived at Salem, where
he bought small property for his
business. But the happy pair had
been blessed with a lovely boy, and
the father found no rest in the sad
thought that his dear ones were des.
tined to lead an obscure life, away
from the luxury and honors due
them, and took passage for Europe.
He went to Vienna, and in an audi
ence with Emperor Francis Joseph,
succeeded ia obtaining bis pardon
and being reinstated into his ances-
tral inheritance. Post haste he sped
back to his family, and under his real
name he was again married in this
city to his faithful wife. The steam
er Idaho, which left here December
20, took the happy couple and their
young son back to the castles of the
Prince in the beautiful mountain re-
gions Of Austia. Oregon Zietung.

ONE MAN SHOOTS ANOTHER DOWN IN

The Constitution Of a recent date,
gives the sad and sickening details
of cold -bloodcd murder, with the
causes which prompted the commits

Hill and Mr.. John r. Simmons met
iu the bar-room Of the National Hotel,
and almost Immediately after the
meeting, Mr.. Hill sho: Mr.. Simmons,

General rumor stated that Mr.. Hill's
wife was cunhected with the affair,
and that some wrong to her was the
cause of his action in the premises.
Mr.. Hill gave himself up to police

where he made statement to re-

Said he: II have been wronged, ,

CIarksviIIe BOARD Of trade.

This important, We may say this indis-
pensahle, organization which has been dor.
mant for long period walked up on Thurs
day night, shook itself into consciousness
and recommended, as we hope, life Of
4 vigorous activity.
The meeting was opened by the President,
the Hon. d. n. kennedy, who earnestly
pressed on the business men of GAINESVILLE
the necessity of combined action in the
interest of the eity's business, which, as he
maintained, was btlund to languish so long
as each man blindly pursued his own Inter
est, neglecting those higher interests which
all business men had in common and which
they ought TO pursue in concert.
Good addresses were also made by Messrs
Clark, Gracey, Jas. T. Kennedy, and others
The following important committees We're
appointed:
A Committee on transportation to confer
with the railroad authorities in reference to
arrangements for trains to stop at the vari-
Gus stations, and other matters.
A Committee TO confer with the city
authorities in reference TO the lighting the
city with gas.
A Committee to confer with the stock
holders in the Empire, GAINESVILLE & Nash
vile Railroad, with a special view to the
interests of GAINESVILLE as affected by that
road.
Capt. Clark moved for committee TO
make surveys and reconnoisances for the
construction of canal connecting Red
river with Cumberland river at Searcy's
Ferry, said canal to be used for water power.
This last committee is supposed TO be one of
the Captains jokes but the committee was
appointed and will report next month.
The Treasurer's report was hailed with /
much interest, IL being found that he held 4
In his hands the sum Of Sll3 50, subject 10 /
the order of the Board.
On receiving this report it was immedi-
ately resolved that the fee for initiation
should be reduced from S. TO ST.
Monthly meetings were resolved on, to
AXE place on the first Thursday of each
month.
The following new members were added
o the Board: W. o. Brandon, A. G. Braw-

We have derived great pleasure from a
visit to Mrs- and Miss Watts, now staying al
the Franklin House. These ladies are from
Louisville, and are connected with some OF
the best families in Kentucky. They have
for some years been engaged in giving pub
lie readings, and we have seen highly favor
able notices of their entertainments from
various sources. The young lady, in addi-
ton to her other entertainments, is a very
sweet singer, accompanying herself on the
guitar. We were favored with a song or
two when we visited her, and were very
much pleased. Her management of the in
strument Is very skillful, and the guitar, be
it noted, when played scientifically is by no
means the easy instrument which many
people suppose it to be.
We are glad to learn that these ladies will
give an entertainment on Monday evening.
We were indebted to a eommendatory letter
from Mr.. Albert Roberts, editor of the Nash
Vile American, fer the pleasure of their
acquaintance, and they have letters of in
PRODUCTION from many of the leading men of
Kentucky and Tennessee.

Blind Tom.

This very remarkable person is to give us
performance in the Academy Hall on
Thursday night next. We say remarkable
person" because he has attracted notice as a
psychological phenomenon quite as much
as by his musical capacity. Without en-
dorsing all that has been said OF him as an
idiot, as no more possessed of reason, than
an orang-outang, he is undoubtedly negro
OF very slender intellectual endowments,
and is evidently an instance of the excessive
pTedominanee of one faculty, that of music,
over all the others. a fine ear for pitch and
melody and a strong feeling for rhythmic
movement are qualities which he shares in
common with many others OF his race-in-
deed they are characteristic of his race-but
added to this he has the faculty In a very
high degree of interpreting compositions
involving very elaborate and intricate com
binations of sound. He has, moreover, suf-
ficient instructive perception of harmony to
supply an appropriate bass to a melody on
first hearing il. Altogether, Tom is well
worth Studying as a mental phenomenon,
and we have always attended his perform
ances with interest. On the other hand,
those who do not care to study him psyche
logically can always hear good music well
played when they 90 to hear him.

County Court.

On Monday next the County Court meets
according to adjournment This adjourn
ment, il will be remembered, took place in
consequence of the sudden death of DIR.
Cobb. Very important business was inter
rupted by that distressing event which will
engross the thoughtful attention of the
court We desire, however, TO call attention
to one subject which, we understand, will
be brought before il by petition, the import
anee of which cannot be Overrated, tits the
condition of the negro graveyard In South
ClarkSyille MS affecting the health of that
quarter and. through 1t, menacing that Of
the whole city. This subject was alluded tc
by us last week, and we earnestly hope thai
nothing will be allowed TO impede prompI
and vigorous action in the matter. Thu
Court HouSe, the railroad debt and othel
matters seem a. first sight of far greater mo
ment, because large sums of money are a
stake, but health is more than money, AND
the bitter experience of last year has shoWT
that causes which affect the public healtl
may also cause even money losses the mag
uitude of which IS Incalculsbie.
