Death of Kossuth.
Louis (or Loyos) Kossuth died on the night of the 20th March, in the arms of his son and pressing the hand of Karolyi, the Hungarian Deputy. Kossuth was the most remarkable figure in Hungarian history. Born of poor, but noble, parents at Monolc on April 21, 1802, and furnished with a fair education he had, by his twenty-seventh year, won a seat in the Presburg Diet. Having suffered imprisonment for publishing reports of the Diet debates, he became in 1841 editor of the Rirapai Buda Pesth, and seven years later he was Minister of Finance. Shortly after he was made Governor of Hungary, and then came the civil war and his exile in Turkey, Asia Minor, England, and America. After much journalistic and lecturing work he settled at Turin, where he had lived for some years in humble circumstances and failing health, writing additional volumes to his famous " memoirs " published in 1882.
