Illness of Mr.. Giddings.

WASHINGTON, Mays
Mr.. Giddings suddenly fell in fainting or
apOpleptic fit while addressing the House about
12t O'Clock to-day. He had commenced a
speech on the Deficiency bill, and was vehe-
menlly den ouncing the appropriation of twenty
six thousand dollars to deiray the expenses Of
the Ohio Marshal, Mr.. Robinson, in returning
the heroic slave-mother and her children from
Cincinnati, Mr.. Giddings was interrupted at
the moment by Mr. Campbell of Ohio, but he
declined yielding the floor. saying that it was a
subject that 80 reused his feelings and filled his
soul that he would not yield the floor for any
explanation, even to a friend. He proceeded to
say his enthusiasm rising as he proceeded) that
he would refresh the memory of the House by
history OF that transaction. He had just rea-
ched out his arm in intense geStiOulatiou when
he suddenly grew purple in the face and fell to
the floor. Several members Immediately rush.
ed to his assistance, among them Mr.. Humph-
rey Marshall of Kentucky, who carried water,
bathed his temples and loosened his cravat,
when the veteran quickly revived and was led
to an open window in the lobby, where he soon
recovered sufficiently to 90 to his lodgings. The
House at once postponed the business under
consideration.
AT the end of an hour and half he went
on and finished his speech, though not with
out exciting the apprehensions of his friends.

"There was no further action in the Cabinet

THE Story OF PERcIvAL's LovE.-The
story Of Percival's early love and disappoiut-
ment has been made public, bu, the true version
never given. From gentleman who was in
Yale College at-ihe time and knew the histo-
ry OF the affair, we have learned it, and may
be permitted refer to it.
Perciva! had Il class-mate named Smith,
They both fell in love with a lady of grea,
beauty and mental and moral endowmenls-
lit woman 10 receive the worship of the
young poet. But Percival was poor and Smith
was wealthy, and SO the fortune OF the race for
favor turned against the poet Mr.. S. won
the fair lady. In a moment PercivaI's whole
character underwent a change he became
,aciturn and quite recluse, plunging into
study with a most wonderful application. From
that time date his great requirements. No
science too absiruse--no language too removed
that ne did not conquer. In time he became
noted Tor his mental acquisitions, and his habits
OF secluSion became confirmed. But there was
wanting the one steady aim, the high hope and
manly force that ever come to the noble soul
at peace with itself; and so his bark drfted on,
never reaching any coveted harbor where
peace whispered its soothing song to his aching
sense.
What became of the lady our lady readers
OF course ask. She settled down in Hartford,
became the model mother of SIX children, and
lives there, We believe, loved and admired by
all that know her.--Sandusky Register

the erection of the best saw mill in the Terrific.

Now and Then.

Life at best is but a mere heeting show. the
veriest phantom. So swift and unerrng are the
shafts of DEATH that we scarcely realize the
loss of friends, who bat few brief hours ago
were wont to meet with us ut the social board or
in the marts of trade.
To-day we grasp the hand Of cordial greeting
and gaze upon the face of one who has been our
companion and our friend. What happy visions
rise before while away the moments,
lingering with each other about the scene of
earlier days. Oh how joyous are our harts, how
free from care our thoughts.
No spectres of grief are before US, no clouds
appear to dim the brightness of our future.
No thought of parting crosses our mind,
and little do we think that aught can occur to
mar our happiness. But while we muse to-
gether. mingie our thoughts and strengthen that
affection which binds as one, the silent mes
senger of sorrow stands at our back.
Unseen and unknown, he lays his blightning
touch upon the loved one and while we smile
away the precious moments, we dream not of that
which is yet to come. The morrow dawns, and
with it sorrow is our unavoidable lot.
Summoned to the sick bed of one we love, we
watch the ebbing tide of life, and even while we
look upon the suffering patient the eyes grow dim,
the cheek pales before our glance, and the spirit
speeds from earth away.
Now and Then! How quick the change. We
are as the grass of the valley, aourishing to-day,
tomorrow 10 more Albany Transcript.

FORMIDABLE RESURRECTION AGAINST
OLOUQUE-ATTACK ON AUX CAVES.


The Traveller publishes extracts from letter
bearing date Aux Cages, TIayti, Nav 10, which
states Il formidable insurrection had broker out
in that part of the Island against the Emperor
Solou1ue. The writer says:
A body of from two to three thousand insur-
gents took possession of u post between this
place and the Pinsrey last night, with view of
attacking the town to dav.
The military authorities were only aware of
this at seven O'Clock this morning. The alarm
drums were Immediately beaten, and every male
adult in the town was ordered to Join the troops.
At 10 y. NJ, the troops marched out with the
citizens that had joined them, but being but 500
strong, it is probable they will not make an at
tack on the insurgents, but will content themselves
with defending the entry of the town till rein
forced.
a postscript to the letter under date ii A. NJ,
adds: The alarm drums are again beating. IL
is said that the troops sent out repulsed, and
the insurgents are pushing forward. People are
running distractelly through the streets closing
