TERRIBLE INUNDAT1oNs IN HOLLAND.

TERRIBLE lNUNDATIONS IN HOLLAND
A communication appears in lhe London
News, that several provinces of Holland
are threatened with inundations, arising
from the giving way of the dykes under
long continued beating of the waves. The
lives and property of thousands are said to
be in imminent peril:
"In Guelderland the danger and damage
have assumed a fearful aspect. The peo-
pie had battled with all their might against
the destroying waves, and had become ut
terly exhausted. In many places they had
abandoned their abodes, and in Others were
huddled together by hundreds in tempora-
ry sheds, where disease was ravaging them
to fearful extent.
"The government and private benevo-
lence had rendered assistance, but these
were utterly inadequate to meet the distress
already existing; and strong appeal was
made to the people of England to assist
in relieving their Dutch ueighbors in their
calamity"

awGiddings in a letter to the Asl

~ Giddings in letter to the Ash
Ashtabula Sentinel, on the Lucy slave
case, referred to the fact that negroes have
no legal rights among us, and in that con-
nection relates the following: of
Some twelve years since young slave
woman in Virginia was set upon by a
white ruffian who attempted to violate her
person. She possessed stong physical
powers, and in defending herself she struck
such blow as to lay him dead at her
feet. For doing this she was convicted
and sentenced to be hung. Members Of
the Methodist Church, to which she be-
longed, interceded with the Executive, who
agreed to pardon her on condition that she
should leave the United States. Hel
friends agreed that she should do so, and
applied TO the writer for letters addressed
to the friends of liberty in Ohio, asking
their hospitality towards this victim to the
barbarsm of Virginia, to which Lucy was
consigned by men of Cleveland. The let
ters were given, and the woman is now an
exile for defending her virtue under Virginia
laws.

SUSAN RIDER.
Kneeling by the stream j saw
Suke, the farmers daughter,
Drinking-in her rosy palm
Dipping up the water.
She had thrown her hat aside,
Bare her arm and shoulder;
Each unconscious charm displayed
Made my love the bolder.
So I slowly, tenderly,
Went and knelt beside her
Drank with her from out the stream
Blusbing Suky Rider.
And / said. "the Poets think
Life is like river;
Shall we not its waters drink
Always. love, together?"

Wendell Phillips on William III
Seward.

In his speech at Music Hall, Boston,
Sunday last, Wendell Philips poured out
the hottest phial of wrath upon William
H. Sewerd. He declared the chain (mean-
ing the Constitution) which had held the
slave system since 1887, broken at last.
South Carolina, bankrupt and alone, with
hundred thousand more slaves than free
men had thrown down the gauntlet of de-
fiance at the feet of nation of twenty
five millions of people, for an idea. He
would that there were one New England
State as brave. The North was divided
into three sections.
lst. The defeated minority, glad of any
thing that troubles their conquerors. I'd.
The class of Republicans led by .SeaOard,
Offering to surrender anything to save the
Union. (Applause.) Theirgospel is the
Constitution, (applause,) and the slave
clause their sermon on the mount
daughter and applause.) They think that
at the judgement day, the blacker the sins
they have committed TO save the Union,
the clearer will be their title to heaven
Sd. The rest of the Republicans, led by the
Iribune-all honor to the Tribune, faith
full and true! who consider their honor
pledged to fulfil in office the promise made
in the canvass. Their motto is: "The
Chicago platform, every inch of it-not a
hairs breadth of the territories shall be sur.
rendered to slavery" (Applause.) But
they, too, claim the cannon's mouth to
protect forts, defend the flag, and save the
Union. At the head of this section, We
have every reason to believe, stands Mr..
Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Philips forgot that q few weeks ago
be was in the habit of styling Mr.. Lincoln
"a slave hound" In assuming to praise
Mr.. Lincoln now, he is only whetting his
knife for his throat presently.

Orators foated into fame on one inspired
phrase-"irrepressible conflict" Jefer-
son died foreseeing that this was the rock
on which we should split. Even Mr.. Web
ster speaking with bated breath, in the
cold chill of 1850, still dared 10 be states

this question, suggested broad plan for
the cure of our dread disease. Bat now,
with the Union dropping assunder, with
every brain and tongue active, we have
yet 20 hear the first statesman word, the
first proposal TO consider the fountain and
origin OF all our ills. We look in vain
through Mr.. Stewards speech for one hint
or suggestion as 10 any method of dealing
with our terrible hurt. Indeed, one of his
terrors of disuDion is that it will give room
for an European, an uncompromsing hos
Utility to slavery" Such an hostility, the
irepressible conflict of right and wrong,

fearful" To describe the great conflict
of the age, the first of American states
men, in the year of Garibaldi and Italy,
can find no epithet but ''fearful."
The seruile silence of the It'll Of March,
1850, is outdone, and Massachusetts yields
to Neao York tile post Of intamy which
her great Senator has hitherto filled.
Mr.. Phillips argued the right of seces-
sion. The Southern seceders will thank
him for some of his suggestions. He said

and necessity of our position? Why not

A LIoN's Love FOR BLACK TIGREss- Ren1drk-
able Instance of affection. Philadelphia North

A LIoN's LOVE FOR A BLACK IIGREss-itef2dTh-#
able Instance of Afection.-The Philadelphia North
American records the following singular case:
In one compartment of the cage in which the
animals perform at Van Anhurghfs beautiful me-
nagerie in Chestnut street, is huge tawny Asiat1c
lion His roommate is black female tiger. The
tiger is small compared to the regal lion, hut j.
highly valued as geological curiosity, and the
only specimen of the black tiger in this country.
She was purchased by Air. Van Amburgh some two
wears ago, and has lived with the lion ever since.
The attachment between the two is something re-
narkahle. When other animals are in the same
cage and any aront is offered to the little tiger,
she runs under the belly OF the lion, and woe be to
the animal that approaches her. No matter how
hungry he may be, the lion never touches hs share
of their daily meat until his little chuIn has SEE
lected her share, and oven this he never entirely
consumes until certain that she has enough. All
the animals are as fat oles but this black tiger
is aldermanic in her proportions, and no remedy
exists for the matter. She has been twice re-
moved from the lion but until she was returned the
generous beast would take neither food nor rest.
while the frantic manner in which he dashed ut the
bars was sufficient warning that the further de-
tention of the tiger would be dangerous matter.
Should his mate die, the lion would probably pine
to DEATH Once when she was taken away lionesss
was substituted. The lion instantly fell upon her.
and at a single bite broke her spine and efushssg
some of her ribs. Careful nursing saved her me,
and she is still living, but with her hinder parts M

PROBABLE MURDER OF A WoMANs-In the New

PROBABLE MURDER OF WoMANs-In the New
Albany (Ia) Ledger we find the following:
We have heard of the circumstances Of an affair
which lead to the belief that foul play has been
done but as yet, all is in mystery. About 10
O'Clock last Monday night, Mr.. John Stewart, who
vc8 in Clark county, near the boundary line of
this and that county had occasion to visit this city
for physician, on urgent business. Just before he
reached the bridge, above town, he passed buggy,
which seemed to be standing still, and as he ad-
vanced few rods he was saluted by the cries of
woman, WHO hallned with an earnest and clear
voice, saying, " Stranger, for Gods sake, take me
out of this buggy; this man intends to kill met
He started toward the vehicle, and pistol or gun
was snapped at him. As he was unarmed, he cen
euded not to risk his life and started on his jour
new The woman again screamed for help, aud in
such an earnest and distressed manner as to war
rant the belief that she was in trouble.
Mr.. Stewart hurried on, and arriving at the
toll gate short distance this side of the bridge,
recounted the circumstance TO the Keeper, mr..
Kite, who started mp the road to ascertain the
trouble but was dissuaded from going by the ear
nest entreates Of his wife. Be, however, stood in
the road and listened, and heard the sound OF a
carriage driving the bridge toward him, and
when as he supposed, midway of the bridge, 1t
stopped But short time had elapsed when the
| discharge Of firearms was heard and soon after
| ward the buggy was driven to this end Of the
bridge, where it stopped again few moments.
| Mr.. Kite thinking that the driver halted on ac-
count Of light that was OF the toll house, went in
and eXtingGshed it, and returned to his former po-
sition. The carriage approached within short dis
lance of the gate and turned directly around and
was driven off i'll the opposite direction at a brisk
speed.
1t is pretty certain the woman was not in the
buggy after the report of the pistol, as no noise
was Heard and it is reasonable to believe that had
any one been in distress, they would have made
| an alarm when near the to1igate. The suppose,
| ton is that the woman was shot and thrown into
the creek and the murderer being fearful of being
| met by Mr. Stewart or some one else thought it
safest to return the way he came.
