OBITUARIES, FOREIGN. 



fel Cabinet. Two years after he entered the dip- 

 plomatic service as Consul-General at Antwerp. 

 In 1859 he went to China and Japan as Em- 

 bassador Extraordinary to secure commercial 

 treaties. In 1862 Bismarck, soon after he had 

 risen to the head of affairs, called him into his 

 Cabinet as Minister of the Interior. Bismarck, 

 Roon, and Fritz Eulenberg carried through the 

 plans for the solution of the Schleswig-Hol- 

 stein question, and the accomplishment of Ger- 

 man unity under the Prussian headship, only by 

 breaking the sacredly pledged charter of repre- 

 sentative rights. In the hot conflict between the 

 trio and the will of the nation, Eulenberg's best- 

 known act was the suppression of the freedom 

 of the press. The great work of his life was 

 the unification of the system of administration in 

 the Prussian dominions, the old as well as those 

 conquered in the Danish and German wars. 

 With Bismarck he formed the alliance with the 

 National Liberal party, a step of the highest 

 historical moment, that was chiefly due to his 

 influence; and when Bismarck broke the al- 

 liance, and struck out on new political courses, 

 he parted with Eulenberg. After the latter's 

 dismissal, in 1878, from the ministry, his half- 

 completed administrative reforms were neg- 

 lected, and in important features altered and 

 abandoned. 



FORSTER, HEINRIOH, Prince-Bishop of Bres- 

 lau, born November 24, 1799; died October 

 20, 1881. He studied theology in the Univer- 

 sity of Breslan, and in the clerical seminary in 

 that city, and was ordained as priest in 1825. 

 He soon gained considerable celebrity as a pul- 

 pit-orator, and in 1837 was appointed to the 

 cathedral in Breslau. In 1853 he was elected 

 Prince-Bishop of Breslau, and did much to pro- 

 mote the spiritual and temporal welfare of the 

 members of his diocese. When the conflict 

 between the church and state arose in Prus- 

 sia, he.stood firmly by the church, and in 1875 

 was deposed by the Prussian Government, and 

 took up his residence at Johannesberg, in the 

 Austrian part of his diocese. 



FEIAS, FELIX, an Argentine publicist and 

 diplomat, son of the distinguished lawyer Don 

 Felix Ignacio Frias, was born in 1820, and 

 died at Paris in 1881. He came early into no- 

 tice as an eloquent denouncer and uncompro- 

 mising opponent of Rosas, in the general move- 

 ment against whose dicta ture he took so active 

 a part as caused him to be driven into exile. 

 In the neighboring Republic of Chili he pub- 

 lished several works which gained for him 

 lasting renown ; and later, in France, the pro- 

 duction of others, inspired by his intimacy 

 with Montalembert, added fresh luster to his 

 name. After the battle of Monte Caseros (Feb- 

 ruary, 1852), which decided the overthrow of 

 the dictator, Frias returned to his native land 

 and became editor-in-chief of " El Orden," a 

 dignified journal devoted to the consideration, 

 from an elevated point of view, of the true in- 

 terests of the country. Conspicuous among 

 the historical works due to his pen is that en- 



titled " La Gloria del tirano Rosas," cited on a 

 par with a remarkable paper on the political 

 situation of the Argentine Confederation con- 

 sequent upon the victory of Monte Caseros. 

 He afterward, as Envoy Extraordinary and 

 Minister Plenipotentiary to Chili, served his 

 government with zeal and ability in the pro- 

 tracted discussion of the question of limits be- 

 tween the two republics. Several times dep- 

 uty, he was once called to the presidency of 

 the Chambers. His opinions savored some- 

 what of asceticism. 



GARNIEB, JOSEPH, a French political econo- 

 mist and senator; died September 25th. He 

 was born at a village near Nice, in 1813, and 

 studied at the School of Commerce in Paris, in 

 which he became a professor. In 1844 he was 

 appointed Professor of Political Economy at 

 the Ecole des Ponts et Chaussdes. He was 

 elected a senator in 1876. He edited the 

 "Journal des Economistes," was an organizer 

 of the Free-Trade Association and of peace 

 congresses, and wrote several text-books on 

 political economy. 



GOULD, JOHN, an English ornithologist ; died 

 in London, February 3d, at the age of seventy- 

 seven years. The fruit of his explorations in 

 Australia was his remarkable work, " The Birds 

 of Australia," and one on Australian mam- 

 mals. He also wrote a standard work on hum- 

 ming-birds, and one on the birds of the Hima- 

 layas, which was his earliest production. 



GHOLAM HUSSEIN KHAN, an Indian official 

 who rendered important services in establish- 

 ing British rule in the Punjab ; died in March, 

 at the age of sixty. He was a Pathan chief by 

 birth. His assistance in the Sikh wars and the 

 Sepoy mutiny was indispensable, and in peace 

 time his services in accust oming the native 

 races to British administration were equally 

 valuable. He was envoy to Dost Mohammed, 

 and formed friendly personal relations with 

 Shere Ali, but was unable in the then existing 

 political situation to secure the favorable re- 

 ception of an English envoy at Cabool, when 

 sent on that mission in 1878. In the late war 

 he was on his way to join Cavagnari at Cabool, 

 when the massacre of the English mission took 

 place. Gholam Hussein received for his serv- 

 ices the titles of Khan Bahadoor, Nawab, and 

 Knight Commander of the Star of India. 



HALL, ANNA MARIA, nee FIELDING, a British 

 authoress, born in 1805, in County Wexford, 

 Ireland; died January 80, 1881. As early as 

 1829 she gained considerable celebrity by her 

 " Sketches of Irish Character " (latest edition, 

 1871), which was followed by " Chronicles of 

 a School-Room " H831), and the novels, " The 

 Buccaneers" (1882), "Tales of Women's Tri- 

 als" (1885), "The Outlaws," a tale from the 

 time of James II (1833), and " Uncle Horace " 

 (1837). Her "Lights and Shadows of Irish 

 Life" (1838) is regarded as her best work, 

 During this time she also produced a drama. 

 "The French Refugee." Then followed a very 

 largo number of works of various kinds, umong
