Josephine.Ordz in 1848 was young, beautl- ful, and fascinating, « central figura in the brilllant society of Pesth, tho IMuangariin Capital, Imwhich hor father’s (Count Ordz’s) rankand wenlth placed her, and her own ex- ceptionnl charms of mind and person made her. conspicnous, A few weeks ogo: her brulsed body wns stretehed out In‘the-Son Frunelsco Morgue, naked, for the lack of somo friendly or pitying hand to throw over it even tho poorest. mantle charity could grant to misfortune. Gorn‘on the estates uf her father in Southern Hungary in 180, she was sent in early childhood toonvef the con- vents where tho daughters of the ILungarian nobility are’ ¢arefully and thoronglily edu- ‘cated, She lind enteréd tho. gay society of Vesth and was enjoying the trinmphs of her first senson’s numerous conaitests when 1un- trian Emperor. Her father’s house was foremost in tho rinks of those most loyal to Austria, and Josephine, who, twith her beauty, talents, and peeulinr ability in pollt- feat Intrigue, was no mean ally In the days when woman was 2 power In Court politics, would have ranged herself with her father’s cause except for an Influence more’ potent than Joyalty to Kilser or'ta kindred. Among her ‘suitors was Count Karaly, 0 dashing patriot, whose outspoken opposition to the Austrians lind anything but favored his suit In the eyes of Josephino’s parents, «But sha loved Im. AG the outbreak of the re- belllon It was clear that Count Karaly could not remain in Pesth, ‘In the choice between the man whom she loved and thoeause which + her father atlvocated sho obeyett the «tictates of her heart, and agreed to fly with Karaly to England. While her resolve was yet un- g Whown to her family, she was nade aware of Karaly’s Intended arrest by the Austrians on afollowimi¢day, She had only thne to warn him. He fed from theeity thatnight, renched Venice, was: apprehended there by the Ais- trians, and imprisoned, She followed him, and exerted her Influence with the Austrian authoritles iu Ventce for his release, but ine successfully. Austria Rad been guaranteed Rugsin's aid, and, in the confidence that the i nee: iat ab iS { febellion wounl bequelled arrogantly boasted dat all high rebels would bo punished. On l the night before Karaly was to diave been re- a turmed fo Pesth a prisoner, for trial ona ebargeoft troason, he escaped froin the prison, in. Venice. Josephine had been unable te jeeure his disehurge, but his eseape was gueretiyassisted by ap Atatrian officer, who ared hot openly don favor to the rebel laughter of the Count Ordz, Josephine and Count Kursly reached Paris mm safety, were married, and Hyed happily together ‘until hs death, In 1880.
