HUNGARIAN NATIONALISM.
Magyars Dislike Russie, but They Simply
Hate Germany.

Magyars Dislike Russis, but They Simply
Hate Germany.
by Gable to the UaitedPyess.l
VIENNA, March 6, 1SS9.-The Hungarian
Premier has borne up bravely under the
storm of indignation ana misrepresenta-
ton which has been raised by his Army
bill His political antagonists have not
had much trouble in persuading the hot
headed Hungarian youth that Herr
Tisza's measure is but the beginning of a
series of edicts intended to Germanize the
MagyarS and destroy their individuality
of character and language. They have no
special liking for Russia and the Russians
but it may be safely said that they detest
and everything German. The mere hint
of absorption is an incentive to the most
frantic demonstrations, and the students
do not have much trouble to conuince the
mob that their nationality is in danger
whenever they wish to indulge in the
recreation OF an outbreak. Herr Tisza's
health is said to be falling and his physi-
clans have recommended q respite from
political duties, but there is hardly any
one to take his place.
The journal in the French lounge,
which has recently made its appearance
in Pesth, seems to have solid financial
support. Its political leaders are very
mildly WrluUen as yeU, ana lne jealous
watch kept upon it has not been rewarded
by the discovery of any offensive articles
Its circulation is, of course, limited to the
upper classes, but it is matter worthy Of
remark that there should be deemed an
opening in Hungary for such a sheet. Evi-
IDENTIFY the paper is intended TO be
a medium for the correction of
misstatements concerning France which
may appear in the journals of any dialect
in the Austrian Empire, and so much as
it dares, to increase the existing Hun
garian irritation against the triple ALI
ance. Probably it would not object to a
little persecution as tending to attract at
tract attention to its merits and increase
its prestige.
Herr Iisga's brother Premier, Signor
Crispi will be compelled in case of form
ing another Cabinet, to give larger
representation to the Left. His late ut
terances concerning the Pope and the
temporal power of the Holy See did not
produce much comment here, for his
actions had long previously discounted
any language of his, and he already had
against him the clericals and all others
who could be influenced by his words.
There is not much doubt that several
acts appropriating church property, which
have been long in contemplation, will be
passed at no distant day, for other sources
of revenue do not seem to be available
and the people are revolving against the
enormous taxation to which they have so
long been subjected.

come to the meeting to learn, and the ques-

WHAT WILL IT COST?
Mr.. Parnel deftly parried the issue by
the introduction of mass of statistics
that, though they were interesting enough
to the general run of taxpayers, were
tedious.

THE POET FREEHoLDER.

There isn't a young lady in the town
who has not had her curiosity piqued
about what kind of looking man
this Freeholder Smith is who has set
every tongue wagging about kissing.

out day or two ago to find him sue

COLOR FOR THE PICTURE.
A word or two as to the color will
complete the picture.
Briefly, then, he is blonde, with
soft blue eyes and a pronounced
Roman nose. His eyes are of the soft
blue that poet should wear, and he
carries dainty mustache and side-
whislxers.
For the rest, it may be said that
there is six feet of him or more that
he is slim of build, and that the fame
he is now achieving comes to him in
about his thirtieth year.

opening the Case Against Kerr.

In the Special Term OF the Court Of Oyer
and Terminer, New York, today, Assistant
District Attorney James Fitzgerald opened
the case against Thomas B. Kerr for brib-
ery in connection with the Broadway Rail
road franchise. He began by congratu,-
lating the people that at last q fair and
impartial jury had been obtained in New
York to try the case. He theme explained
to the jury the section of the Penal Code
under which Kerr was being tried, and
begged them to bear in mind that Kerr's
family virtually controlled the Broadway
Road, as Jacob Sharp had controlled the
Twenty third Street Road, and then pro
ceeded to point out the close relationship
that existed between the two roads.

He was my faithless guest;

Than those gave the rest.
He sat beside me at the board;
The choice was not my own.
But, OIL never heard voice
With half so sweet tone.
And at the dance again we met;
Again was his choice;
Again l heard the tender tone
OF his beguiling voice.

From all the fairest there,
And told me he had never seen
A face he thought so fair.
Ali wherefore did he tell me thisa
His praises made me vain,
And when he left me, how longed
To hear that voice againl
wondered why my old pursuits
Had lost their wonted charm,
And why the PAIN was utlu unless
leaned upon his arm.
Alas! Imight have guessed the cause
For what could make me shun
Ny parents cheerful dwelling place
To wander all alone?
And what could make me braid my hair,
And study to improve
The form that he had deigned to praisef
What could it be but loveg
Oh! Little knew | of the world,
And less of mans career;
Thought each smilewas kindly meant,
Each word of praise sincere.
His sweet voice spoke of endless love,
/ listened and believed,
And little dreamed how oft before
That sweet voice had deceived.
He smiles upon another now,
And in the same sweet tone
He breathes to her those winning words
once thought all my own.
OH why is she so beautifuls
cannot blame his choice.
Nor can doubt she win be won
By Adams winning voice.
