Paris has for time at least seen the last of Count
Won Beust. He stated last night at the Cafe Richie
banquet, given in compliment TO him, that he was
to quit Paris for his adopted country tomorrow,
and would henceforth consecrate what talents and
energies remain to him to music and to history.
Whatever solidity the Empire Of Francis Joseph
can boast Of IL owes TO this Saxon diplomatist and
statesman. 1t was he who decericalized the Gov
ernment defeudalized the governing classes secured
liberty to the press, aud created the dual Austro-

up by the Jesuits, gave the most loyal support To
Count Won Beust and. indeed, prevented his re-
forms from being still-born. 1t is true that the
Count offered his services a radical reformer

Count Won Beust is an elderly gentleman, Of
slight figure and distinguished air. He has finely
cut features and a high forehead which. however.
in the upper region slopes back overmuch. to leave
room for the development of tho organs Of reflec-
ton. There is an expression in tho face of acute
ness, which is not marred by cunning. The COM
plexon is pale and yellowsh and the gray hair has
a chestnut tnge One would say that Count Won
Beust is hen not engaged in conversation. in the
mental pursuit of an air or musical harmony about
which he had had when last asleep an indistince
dream. He is of keen perception, amiable hos
ptable and slightly skepcal, unless about the good
qualities of Madame Adam, for whom he has cult.
Indeed, Prince Bismarck would not have thought
of insisting on tho Counts recall by the Austro-
Hungarian Government had not the Ambassador OF
