.\ordman, Johannes, an Austrian novelist, born 

 in Krems, Lower Austria, in 1820 ; died in 

 Vienna, Aug. 21, 1887. His real name was 

 Rumpelmaier, and he was originally an actor. 

 In 1847 he published a volume of poems and a 

 novel entitled " Aurelie," after which he took 

 long voyages, the results of which enriched his 

 later works. He settled in Vienna and be- 

 came a contributor of tales to the principal 

 journals. Among his most important ro- 

 mances are " Zwei Frauen" (1850); "Car- 

 rara" (1851); "Ein Wiener Burger" (1860); 

 and " Fruhlingsnachte in Salamanca" (1880). 

 He was also the author of dramatic pieces. 



O'Snlliyan, William Henry, an Irish politician, 

 born in 1827; died in Kilmallock. Ireland, 

 April 27, 1887. He was once an advocate of 

 revolutionary methods to secure Irish inde- 

 pendence. . Previously to the suppression of 

 the "Irish People" newspaper he was under 

 police surveillance, and on the night before the 

 Fenian outbreak of 1867 was arrested and de- 

 tained for several months in Limerick Jail, 

 from which he was eventually discharged with- 

 out a trial. He became an ardent supporter 

 of the constitutional party of Home Rule 

 while Isaac Butt was its leader, and in 1874 

 was elected to represent Limerick in Parlia- 

 ment, retaining the seat until 1885. He was 

 one of the first to adopt Mr. Parnell's policy 

 in preference to Mr. Butt's less aggressive tac- 

 tics, yet in late years he gave only a qualified 

 support to the Irish leader. 



Oude, Wadjid All Shah, ex-King of, born in 

 Lucknow in 1822; died in Calcutta, Sept. 23, 

 1887. He ascended the throne in 1847. His 

 state had been denounced before his accession 

 by Indian administrators, who had its annexa- 

 tion in view, as a sink of anarchy and misrule. 

 He was immediately warned and given two 

 years of grace in which to retrieve the evil 

 reputation of his house. Other conquests in 

 Burmah and the Pnnjaub, engaged the atten- 

 tion of the Government, and it was not till 

 February, 1856, that the decree for his deposi- 

 tion was issued. He was asked to sign a treaty 

 resigning all his powers in consideration of 

 his remaining in possession of his palace with 

 an allowance of twelve lakhs a year. He in- 

 dignantly refused, and declared his intention 

 to go to England and lay his wrongs before 

 the throne. His mother went in his stead, 

 and was so harshly received that she died in 

 Paris from her sufferings and disappointment. 

 The Indian Government allotted the dethroned 

 King a residence on the river Hooghly and 

 granted him the promised pension of 120,000 

 per annum. When the mutiny broke out, 

 however, he was placed under arrest, and re- 

 mained immured until the rebellion was sup- 

 pressed. He was then allowed to return to 

 Garden Reach, where, within his walled in- 



closure, he kept up all the pomp of an Oriental 

 court. He refused to hold any intercourse 

 with the court of the Viceroy. Within the 

 square mile of land that was granted for his 

 residence he maintained a miniature army, a 

 ministry, orders of nobility, and the entire 

 semblance of royal power. His harem con- 

 tained one hundred and fifty women. Parks and 

 gardens, the largest menagerie in the world, 

 dancing nautch girls, and other kingly pleas- 

 ures contributed to his amusement. He was 

 an accomplished musician and poet, and com- 

 posed songs that are popular throughout India. 



Panofka, Heinrieh, a German musician and 

 composer, born in Breslau, Prussia, Oct. 2, 

 1807 ; died in Carlsruhe, Dec. 4, 1887. From 

 his earliest years he was taught singing and 

 the use of the violin. After studying under 

 Maj seder and Hoffman, he gave a series of con- 

 certs in Vienna, Munich, and Berlin in 1827. 

 He then went to Paris, where he became asso- 

 ciated with Berlioz. He removed to London in 

 1844, and was the musical director of the 

 Opera Company there, which included Fras- 

 chini, Lablache, and Jenny Lind. In 1852 he 

 returned to Paris and became attached to the 

 staff of several musical journals. He was also 

 very successful as a teacher, and in 1858 he 

 published " The Art of Singing." He was the 

 author of fantasies, studies for the violin called 

 "Reveries," a vocal "Abecedaire," an elegy, a 

 caprice, and a number of religious pieces that 

 were published under the title of " Hours of 

 Devotion." 



Pasaglia, Carlo, an Italian theologian, born in 

 Pieve di San Paolo, near Lucca, in 1814: died, 

 March 17, 1887. He was educated at Rome, 

 and, after taking orders, became a member 

 of the Society of Jesus. He was appointed 

 Professor of Theology in the Roman Univer- 

 sity, and was the author of several theological 

 works, among which were "A Commentary 

 on the Prerogatives of St. Peter, the Chief of 

 the Apostles" (Ratisbon, 1850) and "The 

 Eternity of Future Punishment." He also 

 edited and annotated the treatise of Petavius 

 on "Dogmatic Theology." In 1861 he pub- 

 lished a work in Latin, addressed to the Pope, 

 in 'which the abandonment of the temporal 

 power of the papacy was advocated, and 

 thereby drew upon himself the censure of the 

 ecclesiastical authorities. The book was placed 

 upon the " Index Expurgatorius," and its au- 

 thor was compelled to leave Rome. In 1862 

 he was appointed, at the instance of Victor 

 Emanuel, Professor of Theology at the Uni- 

 versity of Turin, and in 1863 was elected a 

 member of the Italian Parliament. His chief 

 aim was to form a party that should be at once 

 liberal and catholic.
