Julius Count, Hungarian statesman, born March 8, 1823. He was a conspicuous member of the Congre of Berlin in 1878; negotiated the German-Austrian alliance with Bismarck in 1879; and the same year retired from public life. He died Feb. 18, 1890. André, John, a British military officer, born in London in 1751; entered the army in 1771; went to Canada in 1774; and was made prisoner by the Americans in 1775. After his exchange, he was rapidly promoted, and in 1780 was appointed Adjutant-General, with the rank of Major. His prospects were of the most flattering kind when the treason of Arnold led to his death. The temporary absence of Washington having been ehosen by the traitor as the most proper season for carrying into effect his design of delivering to Sir Henry Clinton the fortification at West Point, then under his command, and refusing to confide to any but Major André the maps and information required by the British general, an interview became nece ary, and Sept. 19, 1780, André left New York in the sloop-of-war “ Vulture,” and on the next day arrived at Fort Montgomery, in company with Beverly Robinson, an American residing at the lines, through whom the communications had been carried on.
