A BRUTAL SPRIG OF ROYALTY.
Dis.raceful story Told of the Austrian
Crown Prince-DastardIy Revenge.

LONDON, March 5.-While the Austrian
Reichsrath was recently discussing bill re-
strcting the freedom of students, Deputy
PernestOffer delivered speech in defense o f
the students, citing cases of depravty in high
life. Among other things he asserted that
Arch Duke Rudolph crown prince of Austria,
had, after nights carouse with a brother
officer, asked the latter if he would not like
to see the Arch Duchess Stephanie in her
own room. The officer answered afiirma-
lively, and the two assembled the stairway
leading to the crown princess chamber. The
adjutant on guard in the cor
rider intercepted them, and de-
claring that he would defend the
princess with his life succeeded in preventing
the outrage. The story coming to the
ears of the emperor he compelled the
crown prince to ask the adjutants pardon,
and persuaded the princess to forgive her hus-
band Herr Pernestoffer further stated that
the crown prince while in an intoxicated con-
dition few years ago met funeral process
sion upon country road, whereupon he
dered them to stop in order that he might
leap his horse over the coffin, which he did
several times before firing of his brutal sport
Last Saturday, while Pernestoffer wa& sit
in his parlor, two men entered and beat him
with heavy sticks till he was insensible They
are supposed to have been army officers, who
assumed civilian attire for the occasion.
