OBITUARIES, FOREIGN. 



Tlraong, formerly Regent of Anam, born about 

 1825 : died at Tahiti, July 30, 1886. He nego- 

 tiated for King Tuduc in the convention of 

 1874, and also signed the conventions of 1882 

 and 1884, but afterward intrigued against 

 France. He eventually gave himself up to 

 Gen. Courcy, and was exiled to the island of 

 Tahiti, with a pension of 60,000 francs. 



Torlonia, Allesandro, Prince of Civitella Cesi, 

 Musignano, Canino, and Farnese, Marqnis of 

 Roma, Vecchia, and Torrita, born in Rome, 

 June 1, 1800; died Feb. 8, 1886. He was the 

 youngest and most enterprising of the sons of 

 Giovanni Torlonia, who was originally a small 

 shopkeeper in Siena, but eventually became a 

 broker of great wealth and influence, and Duke 

 of Bracciano. The son inherited a consider- 

 able patrimony, which he largely increased by 

 taking long leases of the salt and tobacco mo- 

 nopolies in the Papal and Neapolitan states. He 

 became finally the greatest capitalist in Italy, 

 and his receptions in Rome were long the re- 

 sort of all the most illustrious families of the 

 ancient capital. So rapidly did his wealth ac- 

 cumulate, that he became the principal holder 

 of the real estate in the city and province of 

 Rome. He fille>l his palace and villa with the 

 choicest works of art, and gave continual or- 

 ders to Italian artists for the reproduction of 

 the most famous works of art. He was an ar- 

 dent friend of the Pope, and rendered that dig- 

 nitary many important services. Prince Tor- 

 Ionia made extensive excavations of ancient 

 sites, and his collection of antiquities was said 

 to rank next to that of the Vatican. His great- 

 est enterprise was his successful draining of 

 Lake Fucino, a work vainly undertaken by 

 one of the old Roman emperors. Lake Fucino 

 is in the province of Aquila. He drained the 

 lake, and recovered for agriculture 16,000 acres 

 of land. In recognition of his services to agri- 

 culture and the public health, Victor Emannel, 

 in 1875, conferred upon him the grand gold 

 medal, and created him Prince of Fucino. The 

 prince married in 1840 the Princess Tberese 

 Colana Doria, then in her seventeenth year, by 

 whom he had two daughters. 



Trevelyan, Sir Charles, an Indian official, born 

 in England in 1807; died in London, June 20, 

 1886. He married a sister of Lord Macaulay 

 in 1834. He attracted the favorable notice of 

 his superiors when a young official in the In- 

 dian civil service by denouncing a prominent 

 official under whom he served for taking bribes, 

 and proving his charges. He was the leading 

 spirit in the work of educational reform in 

 India, and induced the Government to adopt 

 the European rather than the Oriental system 

 of education. In 1840 he left India, and be- 

 came Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in 

 London. There he took the lead in the move- 

 ment for civil-service reform, and was the au- 

 thor of the system of competitive examination. 

 In 1859 he returned to India as Governor of 

 Madras, but was recalled in 1860 on account 

 of having published a protest against the finan- 



cial proposals of the Government. In 1862 

 he was himself appointed Indian Finance Min- 

 ister, which office he resigned in 1865 on ac- 

 count of ill-health. After his return to Eng- 

 land he advocated the abolition of purchase in 

 the army, of which reform his son, George 

 Otto Trevelyan, became the parliamentary 

 champion. He was knighted in 1848 for his 

 services in superintending the Government 

 measures for the relief of the Irish during 

 the famine. In 1874 he was made a baronet. 



Trolls, Henrik Af, a Swedish novelist and bi- 

 ographer, born in 1829; died in 1886. He 

 served in the Swedish Navy for nearly twenty 

 years, wrote novels of sea-life, and has been 

 called the Swedish Marryat. He wrote " Cap- 

 tain Thomas Darell," "The Officer," "Gustav 

 Ill's Will," "Jakob Tuvall," and many other 

 stories. His works have been translated into 

 most of the European languages. 



Tnlloch, John, senior Principal of St. Andrews 

 University, born near Tippermuir, Perthshire, 

 in 1823; died at Torquay, Feb. 13, 1886. He 

 completed his literary and philosophical stud- 

 ies at the United College of St. Andrews, and 

 studied theology at St. Mary's College. He 

 afterward spent some time in Germany, study- 

 ing the philosophy and speculative theology of 

 that country. In 1854 he was appointed Pro- 

 fessor of Divinity and Principal of St. Mary's 

 College, St. Andrews. The chief among his 

 many works are the " Leaders of the Reforma-

 paign of 1823 in Spain, and reached the grade 

 of division-general in 1855, and was placed on 

 the reserve staff in 1866. On the breaking

 with whom he was an active collaborator in 

 his "Annals." He was appointed Professor of 

 History at Kiel in 1842, and later accepted the 

 same chair at the University of Gottingen, 

 which he retained until 1875, when he was
