AUF WIEDERSEHEN

It is reported from New York that the unrecognized ambassador from Austria, Count Tarnowski von Tarnow, has departed from America, voyaging to that Austria from which he came once more upon the bounding deep. With him went Baron Eric Zweidinek von Sudenhorst and Prince Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst, with a score more of euphemistic princelings. The Austrian Embassy's loss will be the Washington city directory's gain.

The Count remarked that he hated to leave this nice country, and he hoped the war would be of short duration. Our hearts are with the Count. May we see him in Vienna.

Only it would be too bad if one of those nice Untersee Booten should grow rapacious for the Dutch steamer on which the Count sails, and the sinking of another liner be celebrated in Berlin. That fear beset us with respect to Count von Bernstorff. It is repeated with intensity for Count von Tarnow.
