occurred Tuesday and Wednesday in
consequence of the duel between Baron
Maithenyi and Herr Vorhoray, member
OF parliament, in which the latter was
fatally wounded, and that further
trouble is feared Herr Vehoray was
the editor of Hungarian radical news
paper, and attacked Count Festctios'
fellow member with Boron Maithenyi, Of
the aristocratic National Casino club, and
Baron Maithenyi interfered in the matter.
The partisans of Vchoray, say that
Maithenyi is a professional duelist, the
best pisto-shot in Hungary, and was put
forward in the quarral for the purpose
of silcncing Verhoray, who is very dis
tasteful to the aristocrats, but popular
with the masses. Last night II great
crowd of students and workmen filled
the streets in the neighborhood Of the

PRINCE MURAT In FLORIDA.
The American Mansion of a Son of Ma.
poleOn's Great General.
Cincinnati Gazette.


Our party has been camping on his
torical ground for month past-the old
Murat place, a large plantation settled
by Prince Achille Murat, n son of Ma
poleon's great geneial who came to
this country after the downfall of Ma
poleon. The prince died about thirty
years ago, his wife surviving him about
sixteen years. After her death the
place passed into the hands of Mr..
Frank Rappy, the present owner. There
are still on the place three old colored
men. former servants of the Murats.
One of them is IS years old, another
over 80, and Uncle William Hughes,
aged 10. He was the princes body
servant, and crossed the ocean with him
six times. He talks French huently.
and has many anecdotes to tell of the
manner in which his old master used
to entertain the rich planters of the vi
cinity. He says it was no unusual thing
for seventy-tive to one hundred car
riages to be at the place at once. On
such occasions the grounds were always
brilliantly illuminated and champagne
flowed from perpetual fountains. The

Of frame and still shows the handiwork
Of skillful artisans. The house has
been unoccupied for several years-left
for spiders to weave their webs and
hornets to build their nests in. The
style is old-all through the centre,
parlors on each side connected with
back rooms by sliding doors. Our party
occupied the west side Of the house.
The parlor still contained several pieces
of what was once elegant damask furni-
ture, relics ofthe reign of the Murats.
The place has gone to rack very fast
for several years, but the yard still
shows evidence of the taste displayed
by the owners in the arrangement of
the flower beds, etc. 1t was easy to see
the traces of beds in shape of harps,
diamonds, and hearts. There were
still scattered over the yard choice
plants and flowers, including several
varieties of roses now in bloom. There
are in front of the house several fine
large shade trees. including magnolia,
live and red oak, and nlrhvry, alee
Grape myrtle and cape jessamine. The
house is situated on knoll, about two
miles from and in full view of the
capital.

new pfDduct made rom petroleum
is jelly called "Vaseline," which is Of
the greatest utility in medicine, phsr-
macy and fer toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered its gres.
value in the treatment of wounds, burns,
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where liniment is need
ed, and i'll almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance is
now in constant use, and is acknowledge
ed not only to be the best treatment,
but also Que of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is put
up in bottles by the Chesebrough Man
ulacturing Co., of New York, and as a
family remedy, it is without doubt the
best in use. Its healing and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior TO those of
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chilblalns
is almost magical. AS an emollient,
Vaseline is way ahead Of anything else,
rs it renders the skin smooth. soft and
clear, aud our lady friends will find il
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve and
restore to the complexion the nues of
youth, making the cheek like velvet
and the skin ike satin. The complexion
powders i'll common use, are, as rule,
Injurious to the skin and destructive Of
any complexion, while Vaseline is en-
tirely healthful and beneficial. There
is also made "Pomade Naseline,"
which is said TO be of great benefit to
the hair, keeping it soft and glossy, pre-
venting and curing dandrutf. and keep
ing the scalp healthful and free from
disease, and from those Objectionable
creatures which sometimes find dwell
ing there. Numberless instances are
cited of how by the use of this pomade
thin and falling hair has resumed a Wig
orous growth. Both the pure Vaseline
and the pomade are put up in twenty
five cent bottles and are to be found at
all first-class druggists, and We advise
our readers to make a trial OF this Won
derful substance, and we think they will
find its claims to merit not in the least
exaggerated.
SOME person has asserted that "cot-
fee" is the only rhyme to trophy"
That person isn't an adept at poetical
ASPIRATIONS for the word can be used as
follows:
lawyer had a knotty case,
And won the victory;
His client for the work thereon
Did hand TO him V.
"of INV success" the client cried.
'arhts il a worthy trophy Il
take hack thy wealth., the lawyer slid
From thee accept no fee
OF course this rhyme is made by
sacrificing the truth, for LAWYER was
never known to refuse fee.
