To-night I'.iris is talking about the sudden termination of the honeymoon of'the Count and Countess do Montocarlo nco Miss Virginia Knox. Their marriage was cele brated about u fortnight ago in I'lttsbtfrg with great eclat. The brldeirroom arrived In 1'arls last Sunday , itnd engaged rooms ut the Hotel Bellcvm ? preparatory to continuing the Journey to a castle which the count said his mother had on the Adriatic , It wus appar ent the bride was not happy. Early Monday morning the cuests were aroused by shrieks from the countess' chamber followed by cries for help. The guests dr.nssed hastily and ran into the corridors. The manager of the hotel burst open the door and found the countess struggling with the brutal husband , her hair dishevelled , her night dress torn and her body bruised. The count released his victim who rushed to the manager cry ing beseechingly. "Save mo from him. Turn him out of thd hotel. Ho has got no money. Ho can't pay you. Turn bim out. " The count protested against the interfer ence and attempted to pull ills wife buck , whereupon she gave him n stinging blow in the face with her clenched flst. Ho tried to return the blow but was prevented by the manager and mule guests. The unfortunate bride told the manager she had boon thor oughly deceived in her husband , She be lieved him a man of means but learnt too late not only that ho was penniless but that ho was an inhuman brute. At first she supplied him liberally with money but nothing seemed to satisfy him. When she refused to give him more he commenced beating her. The manager told the couple ho could not allow his guests to be disturbed ; that they must leave the hotel im mediately. The unfortunate wife , who deeply felt the disgrace , burst into tears and pleaded to be allowed to remain , but tlio manager was inexorable and they were obliged to leave. They took the early train for Italy. _ IAJXUIUOUS IjtVES. How the Americana Obtained Thcli Influence Orc-r WnrtemhiirB's King. lCoj > irfif / JSSS tin Jamu Uontoti Uennett. ] STUTTOAUT , Oct. HO. [ New York Herald Cable Special to Tiir. BIE. : ] The Herald's dispatches from Munich , Nice and New Yorli regarding the scandal about the king ol Wu.'tcmburg und his American friends have created a great deal of excitement hore. Nc paper published in this city has , however , dared to say a word upon the subject. The council of ministers has ordered proceeding : against the Munich Neustc Nachrouhton foi its publication concerning his majesty's favorites. If it comet to trial interesting do velopmcuts may bo looked for. Juckson'i nppdintuient in 1SS1 created at the timi great comment but had come to bo au ac cepio I fact nnd would never have l > oen re vivcd now but for the Woodcock and Hendr ; affair. Jackson renounced his American cit Izcuship aud became a Wurtemburger. Im mediately on entering the king's service In was appointed at first vorlesser o1reade and afterwards privy counselor. The oul ; complaint the people make against Jacksoi is his supreme selfishness. His contrac with the king is reported to bo such that ii any event ho is liberally provided for Uumor says that it was through en deavoring to dissuade his majcst , from signing this contract that Her von. Gunscrt , pot into hot water but the klni signed and Jackson is happy. Shortly afte Jackson's appointment the Itev. Charles Ii Woodcock and his inseparable Donal Hendry appeared there. Humor says Wood cock was formerly chorister and later assist ant rector in a New York ciiurch. He cam hero ostensibly to work for some New Yor publishers and lodged in Schloss strasso n Fraulcin Zollcrs , whose brother Hefrath i employed as editor by Carl Hall berger , the recent purchaser o the house where Woodcock am Hondry are now installed. In 18S2 , whil Jackson's appointment was still fresh in th l > coplo's minds , the then British uiinistc here , Mr. Gould , who has since- died , me Woodcock at a dinner party at the house o an American family named Burrows , thei residing hero iu Goethestrassc , and was s pleased with him that ho afterward remarked if the king wanted t appoint an American why didn' ' lie chose Woodcock ? Now Mr. Gould , boitij u man of the world and a bon viveur , wo ; much liked at court and it is not impossible that his remark reached the king's cars am first brought Woodcock to royal notice. Ii the early winter of 13St : Woodcock loft her ostensibly for throat treatment In Paris , bu afterward he und Hondry turned up at Nio and were installed in the villa as his majcs ty's guests. It is stated that the bill foi their entertainment amounted to 10,001 francs. When the courtorcturned to Frledonchs haven , the king's summer residence on Lak Constance , they were installed in u handsom villa Just outside the walls , their meals hi ing brought them from the castle by royj flunkies. Jackson meanwhile still basked h the royal favor , being one of the small innc circle who dally dined at their majesty' table. Ho also had his princely suit of seven rooms hero in that par of the palace known as the acadcm Ii the formerly famous Carls Schulc where Schiller und Schubert wore one pupils. As it now became necessary to flm proper quarters for the two now favorite the house Neckarstrasso was hired am 40.0JO marks , on dlt , were expended in Jlttini up its interior luxuriously. The owner , a ; old lady named Pistorlus , an archive keeper' ] widow , living on the parterrn , has since soli it out to Publisher Carl Hallberger , now r siding here , but who formerly put llshed a paper nt New York. 1 is Bald that he receive * 8,00 marks rent for it per annum. The rear o this building opens on the royal park , ani rows of gas lights have been placed along th < path leadin ; from the palace to the botan leal garden , whence a private entrance lead : into the Woodcock mansion. I am in cllned to think the accounts of splrltua seancos held there have been somewhat ox aggcrstod , but no loyal subject of Wurtom burg oould quietly submit to the thought tha his sovereign was playing at hypnotics wit anyone , much loss a foreigner withou means.

The feeling s not only here bMt throughout Wurtemburg and Is aggravated by Woodcock's recent ap pointment to the title of Frclherr von Sav age. U Is understood that to render pos Mbk'his acceptatic'o of this title ho has re cently applied to the United Stales consulate lore to ascertain what steps are necessary to renounce his American citizenship.

Nor is Jackson lacking n accomplishments , either. Ho speaks EnglishGerman nnd French , is a fine pianist , a capital qhcss player and a good whist iluyer , besides being a very companionable 'ollow. I know that Mr. Catlln , who was Jullod States consul here when Jackson was ippointcd into this king's service , has always stated that ho parted with him with regret. Nearly every continental monarch , except the Gorman emperor , hat decorated Jackson and the pope received him us well. He has friend * hero who enjoyed the' Herald's Mu nich correspondent's allusion to him n a dentist. The American court dentist'here ' is Dr. IClein , of Indianapolis , which probably led to the error. The story of the coach and Tour , carrying Jackson away to the Palace a la Ccndrillon , is als'i somewhat overdrawn. His appointment was made out in regular business form shortly after the king's return from Uivlcru in 18S1 , nnd the removal of his baggage from his former lodgintrs to his new quarters in the palace by the court wagons and ser vants forms the basis for the romance. What causes the most reflection to thinking minds is the fact that this affair is ventilated so soon after the German emperor's visit to Stuttgart. The political feature of this affair , If it has any , may not prove itself the least interesting one. An American' * ! Attempted Suicide.

Mail and Express : Gen. Harrison will be the fifth president to enter the AVhito house with n full beard. His four Itcnrded predecessors wore , like himself , republicans. From the time of Washington to that of Lincoln all the presidents , with the exception of two , wore clean-shaven. These two , Martin Van Duron and Zachary Taylor , were small side whiskers , but no beards. It is worthy of note that with the coining ingin of the republican party in 18U ( ) boards have boon worn by all the repub lican candidates. Lincoln , Grant , Hayes and Garlield were full beards , while their defeated adversaries , Mc- Clolliui , Seymour , Greoley , Tildon and Hancock , had clean-shaven cliins. Erom the ctrlie.st times beards have been symbolic of .strength , power and wisdom. With the cutting of Samson's board ho was Bhorn of his physi cal powers. Socrates waa termed "bearded Master" by Porsius , as the beard waa n symbol "of wisdom. Tlio Turks think it a dire disgrace to have the board cut. Slaves who servo in the seraglio have clean chins us n sign of 'their servitude. Geoffrey , the crusader and Bouchard , of the house of Montmo- rency , were both termed "tho bearded" for their bravery and heroism in battle. Dr. Bulwer , maintaining the dignity of the beard , in his "Artificial Change ling" says : "Shaving the chin is justly to bo accounted of effeminacy , note as npponra by eunuchs who produce not a beard , the sign of virility. Aloxnlidor and his otllccrs did not shave their boards till they were effeminated-by Persian luxury. It wntf Into before har bors wuro in request in Homo. Dlogo- nose , seeing a man witli a smooth-shaved chin , bald to him ; "Hast them whereof to ttcctibo nature for making thec a man and not a woman ? " On the ( ith of next month the people will remember Gen.
