THE BRIDE OF THE SUN.
Some three years ago. there lived at Montmartre,
in the private establishment of the kind
and indefatigable Doctor Blanche, a woman j
whose insanity was singular and affpeting. She
was young, her features were pleasing, and her
smile still more so; the only mental disorder
she had was the Detiet mat she was oeiroineu {
to the hun?he had promised her marriage she
thought, 011 a bright autumn morning, and her
lover had covered his radiant visage with clouds j
to avoid dazzling the eyes of his mistress. Since (
that time, he had been hers, and she his ; she (
had fell her spouse's burning kiss imprinted on (
her hand, and she now lived for him alone. The ,
sun was her joy, and her pride, and her glory ;
poor creature; she rose at the very instant (
when her best beloved cast his first rays arross
the sky. and hailed him with her looks, a* the [
birds do with their songs, the stream with its
murmur, the flowers with their p&ifume. The ,
finer the day, the clearer the >kv. the more ra- (
diant the whole face of nature, tne happier was (
the poor wretch ! \V?r it not her god-like hits- ^
band (bat distributed light, and warmth, and ,
comfort around him ? Was he not the monarch (
of the world, and was he not hers? So she
watched every change of place or appearance ,
which her divinity presented ; she tfemed an*,
ious no* to lose the feeblest of his rays, and the (
higher he rose in heaven the more ardent was
her poetical enthusiasm She could hardly be (
persuaded to take hei meals, so full of her pas
sion was she; and to make her eat, it was her
divine spouse who had gilded those fruit, ripened
this grain anil these grapes, so thtt she had
aright to fit down at tin* table he hud himself
prepared for her. A* night drew near, and the
sun was on the point ofsinking into the waters
of the Seine, his tender spouse became a* uneasy
as any poor fisherman's wife, whose* hits. (
band has been absent a couple of months, when
she hears the sea roar?'What will beeome of
ray husband ?' she used to say, 'If he only es.
cape accidents while on his journey !' (rrndually
day would give plitce to night ; then she
would clasp her hand* and cry, 'Wait for trie?
wail' and hurry to rest. J

whose renown is blackened by envy, she he- (
came the most melancholy of women. How

The more exalted her bridegroom was, the more l
did she suffer at seeing him debased, obscured,
enchained, and helpless. But she is soon to be
happy again ; yet a little while, and the sun
pierces through the masses of thick vapor that
conceal his brightness, and reappears in all his |
grandeur and glory. So, when this poor lunatic

her as she knelt before him. But, oh heavens!
all at once the fountain of light and heat stops,
and grows dark ; all at once It disappears; not
as formerly, sinking gradually into the river,
after having shaken brilliant gold dust from his
garments, but pauses abruptly, hides his visage,
and I see no more. Where is be ? 'Yes!' she
screamed, 'my husband is with a rival; he is

died of jealousy, love and despair.

ATTACK UPON THE QUEEN.
It is our painful duty to announce that a cow
ardly attack was made upon her Most Gracious
Majesty the Queon by a man, who, until the last
four years, held a commission in her Majesty's
service.
About 20 minutes after six o'clock last evening,
her Majesty, accompanied by three oithe
royal children, and Viscountess Jocelyn, left
Cambridge.House, Piccadilly, where her Maj
esty had been culling to inquire after the health
ofher illustrious uncle. A crowd bad assembled
without the court-yard gates to see her
Majesty depart, and as the royal carriage passed
out of the gates a person respectably dressed,
and about six feet two inches high, advanced two
or three paces, and with a small black cane
struck a sharp blow at the Queen. The blow
took effect on the upper part of her Majesty's
forehead and upon her bonnet, which being ofa
light texture was driven in by its force. The
act was seen by many persons, and a rush being
made, the delinquent wan instantly seized, and
one person, unable to restrain bis resentment
dealt the man a in blow the lace which drew

Diood. But tor (lie timely arriual ot me ponce,
he would hare been still more roughly handled.
Sergeant Silver, of the C. division, took hun
into custody and conveyed him at once to the
Vinestroel station.
Her Majesty betrayed no feeling of alarm, and
immediately after the occurrence drove up
Picadilly, on her return to Buckingham Place,
the spectators cheering her loudly as she passed
along?a mark of loyalty and affection which
her complete self-possession enabled her to acknowledge
with her usual courtesy and condescension.
Whpn thai nrimnar tvnn hrnilohl In Vinp.dfrtffit
station, Inspector Whall, the officer on duty received
the charge. When asked his name, be
replied, without hesitation, 'Robert Pate,' describing
himself as a retired lieutenant of the
10th hussars, and adding that he resided at No.
27, Duke street, St. Jame's. The evidence of
various witnesseas, having been taken, the prisoner
was asked what he had to say to the
charge. He replied that it was true that he had
struck, her Majesty a slight blow with a thin
slick but headdedemphatically, in allusion to the
witnesses, " those men cannot prove whether
I struck her head or bonnet." The prisouer
was then conducted to one oflhe police coils,
the charge being entered upon the police sheet
as follows;
"Robert Pate, ai/ed 43. retired lieutenant.

hy striking her nn the bead with a cane, iu Pic.

On being searched there were found upon the
prisoner two keys and a pocket handkerchief,
but uo money or weapon of any kind.
The slick with which the prisoner struck the
blow was not thicker than An ordinary goose

length, and weighed less than three ounces.
01 course, such a weapon as this could not,
under any ciremittance#, occasion very serious
injury,and her Majesty's appearance within two
hours ill the royal box at the CoveiiUgarUen
Italian opera, proves that she has not sustained
much injury.
After the prisoner had been placed in a cell,
Inspectalor Field, the chief officer ot the
detective force, was sent to search his lodgings.
Mr. Field there ascertained that the prisoner

apartments) of?7, Duke street, during the last

His father was described to be a mail
of large property al Wisbeach, Lincolnshire,
where he lonnerly carried on business as an extensive
corn factor. A large number of papers
and ducumenls were seized, but nothing has jet
been discovered which could by possibility ex
plant the motive of the net.
A reference to Hart's Army list shows that
the prisoner entered her Majesty's service as a
cornet by purchase, in the lUth hussars, on the
5th February, 1641. He was promoted to the
rank of lieutenant on the 2 2 of July, 1642, and
retired, by sale of his commission, a short time
previously to the embarkation of the regiment
tor India, in 1846.
The prisoner is a respectable looking man
and slightly bald.

THE GREATEST EVIL.
The greatest evil that the South has to endure
is the recreancy of some of her presses at
this critical juncture. These papers protess to
be, in their respective localities, exponents of
public opionion, whilst they are but the mouthpieces
of a few individuals, who, from timidity,
orsome baser motive, have made the Union of
these States an idol, and discard as heretics and
fools all those who do not bow dowu and wort
<1 1
snip ine t>razen image.
The South is cursed by these idol-worshipers,
scuttered throughout her domain ; and whenever
the hour conies for her to act iu her defence,
they will have to be rendered powerless by any
and every means the necessity of the case may
justify. We may be called "ultraists," "disntfio'nists,"
or what else may be most convenient
in Free Soil nomenclature; but every man of
common sense knows that the South cannot
permit her enemies to have their organs in hill
blast throughout her borders, exposing her weak
points, inviting the attacks of the outside accomplices
on these points, and giving by every
means in their power traitorous aid and cerafort
to her assailants and despoilers.
Then1 are unfortunately too many of those
papers among us, and it is the duty of every
true and independent press to mark them, and
have au eye upon them. The time may come,
and is probably nigh at hand, wheu the urgency
of the day will demand their sileace or removal.
There are few fortunately, in this section' of
the South, which are wording tor the unenviable
notoriety that awaits these false lights and
lying exponents of Southern sentimeut; but
further oil', in Louisiana especially, there are
many, be their motives now what they may,
which must ohauge their mad and traitorous
course, or sink under tho crushing weight of an
outraged, though patient, public opinion. The
strength of the South i3 in the fidelity of her
sons; she will have no room for traitors under

There is not a paper in New Orleans, with
the exoeption of the 'Delta,' that is true to the
South at this junoture. And why? In reply
to a charge of this kind, one of them says the '
charge is susceptible of easy proof, as its advertising
columns show; for without the subsidies
of the Northern men in this respect, it reckons
there would be precious tew papers either to
to support or injure the South in that city.?
Suoh an avowal is degrading in the extreme,
and shows how utterly regardless of anything
save dollars these journalists are.
