HILLsKAMP AND HIS BRIDE.

After Mrs. Morosini became i'll from grief at her daughters elopement with Ernest Huels- kamp, the coachman, constant watch was kept upon her by her friends and relatives, who feared that, in her anguish, she might do her self harm. It now transpires that just before daybreak on Thursday morning, Sept. Il, young Giovanni Morosini entered his mothers room to see how she was, and found her in her night robes, standing in the centre of her room, holding @ dark colored liquid, and was labeled laud- anum. Before the young man could reach his mother large quantity of the hquid-almost half of what the bottle contained-had gone down her throat. The son was paralyzed for 8 moment, but, when his mother sank help lessly to the floor, he sprang forward to assist 1 her, uttering the most frenzied cries for help Mrs. Morosini made no movement. She lay as still as death except for occa- sional moans for My daughter, oh my daughter" In Q very few moments the entire household went hurrying to the room, and soon the poor woman had been placed tender ly upon her bed. Everything was excitement. Servants and relations hurried about from place to place, no one seeming to know what to do, until one domestic, more ready with his wits than the others, had bethought himself to obtain medical assistance, and rapidly hurried away to find Dr. Pike. The doctor arrived in an incredibly short space of time and immediately applied powerful emet- ics. The largeness of the dose was probably what saved the woman's life. Under the doctors care she was soon relieved of the poison she had taken, and was rapidly re- covering from it's effects. She was kept in a constant state of motion until the afternoon of that day, when she was again put to bed. Where or how she obtained the drug is a mystery. All the rest of the day she was not allowed to remain alone in her room for 6 sec ond Either her daughters or @ nurse, whose aarvinaa had hoan anOaOod rennainad at har bedside until about il o'clock that night, when apparently she had sunk into quiet sleep. The bottle, which still contained enough of the laudanum to kill two men, had been placed in closet in the sick woman's room and no more attention bad been paid to it.
 Two other attempts were made by Mrs. Moroslni to take her life, but being narrowly watched they were discovered. Mrs. Morosini has sailed for Europe.
 It is certain that as soon as Mir. Morosini can arrange his business affairs here, he and his sons will join his family abroad. He will never reconcile himself to his daughters mar riage, and. If he can help it, will never return to America after having once left it.
 MT. and Mrs. Huelskamp are still occupying their furnished rooms at 78 West Twelfth street, and in all human probability will re- main there all winter.
 It is said that after being baptized in the Ro- man Catholic faith, Ernest will remarry his wife according to the rites of that religion. Mrs. Huelskamp has now about abandoned any hope she may have entertained that her father would receive her husband as his son, and un- less her stern parent relents within week, she will accept the offer made her by the man. agers of Niblo's Garden Theatre to sing at that theatre for $500 week, and when she has saved money enough will go West and buy her baby" Q nice little farm.
 A friend of the Morosini family who visited Victoria, Mir. Oonnor, says: "I have @ girl about Victoria's age, and talked to her as would to my own daughter. She got angry and said: My father did not show me proper respect and has treated me shamefully. I defy him now. I do not care anything about him at all do not care whether he is dead7or alive, nor whether he leaves America or not. I don't want any of his money nor any of hiE sympathy Ernest and I have made our plans for the future and no one, not even my father | or mother, can take me away from my hus- band now. I don't want to hear anything more from him, nor will under any circum
 stances see him again.
 "Ernest here spoke up, and tremblingl!
