The Luck OF Paul Starns.

In late letter from Rome we find the
following:
Paul Starns, the Lite clerk of the Alaba.
ma Reconstruction Convention, has been
sojOurning in Europe. At Rome he made
the wealthiest and most influential Hunga-
rian noblemen. who was about to depart
for Naples. where his family was passing
the summer. The handsome American had
made most favorable impression upon the
royalist, and was invited to accompany
him to Naples. Geza, the Count of Temes-
var, found his lady in very feeble health,
and the physicians had given up all hope
few weeks afterwards the Countess died,
and Paul Starns had meanwhile 80 endeared
himself to his aristocratic friend that an
other invitation was rendered, and accept
ed, to accompany the Count to Hungary.
Only a short drive from the city of Temes-
var lies the beautiful castle Radowitz the
ancestral seat of the Gezas 1t was pre-
sided over by the young Countess Paula, a
lady OF the pure Hungarian type. the only
child and heir of Isclppi Geza.
The young American was quite stricken
by the intense beauty of the lady. and
before three weeks elapsed the two were as
friendly as if they had grown up together.
During the hunting season distinguished
guests arrived at the castle, among whom
Prince Esterhazy, of MOravia, was the most
prominent. The Prince was about thirty
years Of age, and had lately been promoted
to a captaincy of the guards. Major Gen
eral Prince Esterhazy, the captains father,
and Count Geza had been the most intimate
friends for almost lifetime, and both de-
sired to still stronger tie the bonds OF friend
ship by uniting their two children.
This was the main object OF the Princes
visit, Tor the necessary preliminary arrange
ments had long ago been agreed upon by

The Boston letter of the Springfield Re.
g"btcol says there has been much anxiety
the past week among the few who have
known the facts concerning the aIarmin"
illness of Vice President Wilson. His At.
tacA was followed by partial deafness and
partial blindness. and in general character
ms symptoms were such as to threaten the
LOSS is OF his power and activity. if not his
lie. He is now improving, but is by no
means out OF danger. He is scjourning in
boston tor some weeks under the care Of
DR.. E. Fl. Clarke, and has seen verv few of
his friends. His incessant labors in the lass
election, followed by the strain and an xiety
OF last winter, and accompanied bv a good
deal OF work Oh his antislavery history, are
regarded as the immediate occasion Of his
present illness.
