It appears that the Prince visited her house, and whilst there, she threw vitriol upon him, as a consequence of which he has lost the sight of his right eye, which was operated upon

last Monday, fears being entertained that the remaining eye may also have been destroyed, Fraulein Rybicka, after the deed, pulled out a revolver and fired a shot into her breast, which proved fatel. She was the daughter of a police offi cer, and the Prince had been an in- timate friend of hers for many years, it being reported that the latter fail- ed to keep his promise to marry her within six months, and that he bad lately shown a preference for the so- ciety of another woman. After the catastrophe, Prince Leo- pold ran out of the house crying, "Help me! My God I am blind." He was a captain of the Hussars, with the rank of major in tlie Bulgarian cavalry. King Ferdinand, the mon- arch , belonging to the same family.
