A Servian poet, journalist, humorist, and dramatist; born in Neusatz, Nov. 24, 1833. He qualified as a lawyer, but went into journalism, winning fame throughout Austria and Hungary as editor and founder of influential political and satirical sheets. He is called "Zmaj" or the "Dragon", from the name of his most successful paper. The volume "Withered Roses" contains the finest verse, and his farce "Saran" is perennially popular on the Servian stage. Died at Belgrade, Servia, June 14, 1904.
