The Daily Dispatch: January 12, 1865., [Electronic resource], Insulting a sword. (search)
Insulting a sword. --A singular affair occurred recently at Vienna. A gentleman and a lieutenant in the army meeting in the street, the stick of the former struck, by accident, the sword of the latter. Each party turned round, apparently expecting the other to apologize, when at last the civilian remarked, "Why the deuce do you pass through the streets with your spit sticking out in such a manner?" High words followed, which ended in the officer prosecuting his adversary for an insult to his military honor by an injurious epithet applied to his sword. The president of the police court, before whom the case was brought, severely reproved the civilian for the expression used; and the court, considering that the accused could not be in the possession of his full mental faculties, admitted extenuating circumstances, and condemned him to a fine of fifteen thalers (about two pounds).

The General Correspondence of Vienna states that a percussion cap burst on the carriage of the Emperor of Austria as he was returning from Schœnbrunn on the morning of the 1st of December. The care which the ministerial journal takes to state that no person was wounded would almost lead one to suppose that the affair was not that of a mere harmless cap, but of some kind of projectile.

the following: "The Jews rise gradually above the average of mankind whenever their immense mental resources and their formidable intensity of purpose are consecrated to religion, to humanity, to liberty, to letters, or art. Then they become prophets, reformers and composers, and the moral and intellectual and artistic teachers of the world, producing Mendelssohn, Spinozas, Neanders, Bernes, Heines, Rachels and Meyerbeers. Among the German political reformers of the present day there are a great number of young men of Jewish parentage, particularly in Berlin and Vienna, who are the most ardent champions of liberty. France possesses in Cremieux, the Jew, one of her ablest lawyers, and at the same time one of her most unflinching Republicans. And so there are in every country Jews who show that as soon as they devote their great powers to some ennobling purpose they excel as much in the higher walks of thought and life as the bulk of their fellow religionaries in the lower."

hat of any public man whom he has left behind. Leopold, King of Belgium, died in Brussels on the 9th day of December. When we saw the announcement, our mind seemed to be carried back half a century, to the days of Napoleon I. and George III., of Francis Alexander and Frederick William III., of Wellington and Metternich, Canning and Castlereagh, the Conference of Erfurth, and the invasion of Spain, the invasion of Russia, and the invasion of France, the downfall of Napoleon and the Treaty of Vienna, the formation of the Holy Alliance, and the visit of the Sovereigns to England. All these mighty events he witnessed; in all of them he was deeply interested, and of all the actors who played their part in the stupendous drama, he was the last. Prince Leopold, of Saxe-Cobourg, was born in the hereditary dominions of his father some where about the year 1785. When the torrent of invasion swept over Germany, in 1806, he was a man, grown, and did the part of a man and a prince in resist
