The death of Countess Ilona Batthyany, at the age of 89, re-l moves one of the last links with the revolution of 1848. Countess Batthyany was called the "peasant Counters" because of her charity to the peasants in the neighbour- hood of Cinkoin, where for some time she had lived a retifed·life, and many hundreds of peasants followed her coffin on foot when it was brought to the family mause- lean in Budapest,,
Countess Batthyany was the daughter of Count Lajos Baithy- any, the first responsible Primo Minister elected by the Hungari-' ans during the revolution of '48. When the revolution had been sup- pressed by the Austrians Count Batthyany was sentenced to death. At this time Countess Batthyany was a child of eight, and her last ght of her father was through the bars of the window of his cell in the baricks when her nurse lifted her up to see him led out by the Austrian holdiers to. be shot.
It is related that in after-years the Emperor Francis Joseph inade many efforts to cómo in contact with her, so that the tragic memory of her father's death might be in some way mitigated, but the Countess avoided a meet- tur. writer in the Broepeati Hirlap atatea funt during ai in- terview riven to him the Countera related that on one occasion Ote Emperor yas staying, at his shout. ing-box in Cogollo, and while rid- ing across her estate sent his and- jutant to her house to ask for some water.
