The only man whose emotions are prompt Is the guide-book man.' We have ourselves seen many a masterpiece with weary and unmoved eyes, by day—when the accident of twilight or moon- Ight, concealing half, would quadruple tho effect These Influences,where hazard comesln to the aid of i art, may have their laws; they may be reduced, whatever -they depend , on, to a science some day; and' the Michael 'Angelos to come, committing ' their masterpieces to the hands of able Impressarios, may have their works exploited theatrically for them with all the arrangement of disorder and oil the brilliancy of the invisible. While waiting! hoWever, for these lofty, economies of the future, we do occasionally get a surprise or so that startles us, and that we hardly-deserve. The silly curtain that protects a fine picture may think' itself only a duster—it does not know that thepallidhand escaping Horn under its hem shines as. the hand of the Wrecked: mariner beneath the seaweed; There is no noisier street in our cliy 1 than Chestnut street. Mr. Scott's broad ’gallery is by no-meOnß the silent shrine of meditation, and its precincts, on one of the dusty days that closed lost week and ushered in the leafy month, were far from con ducive to reverie. Out of such bustle could any one 'construct a dream? It was asccno—of scene-shifting. The upholsterers bad been con" structing, out of dark-drapery, a little pavilion chamber, that nest led in the void. One of these honest gentlemen, vibrating ofl a skeleton step ladder like the man at 'the masthead, tapped at the wall there like a woodpecker, with long folds of maroon cloth streaming from his hand. A young man, wishing to shade the. windows, was racing like the. Brazilian Ape over the hori zontal bars used In picture-hanging. On tho floor was a twisted knot of tangled and tormen ted drapery, looking like a coil of pythons, or.like a whirlpool in a bloodstained fiver; out of which rose in the centre a shrouded mys tery, which - was In fact the group of Eve and: Abel, a merq formless heap of Inmpisbness and linen, as common and nnclean as the great cheat that was knit at the fonr cor ners and lot doWn : to the earth in days of yore. But a gentleman present, wishing to : examine into tho safety of the statue, separated the cov erings.and.cxposed the torso and-head of Abel; and immediately, with the strangest effect, there seemed to Sash into that noisy place the author ity, we will not say the sanctity, of death. ‘ The tender flesh of the primeval shepherd, imitated in tho.creamy whiteness of the most limpid Carrara, lay there among the retreating folds of the linen, bent in death across the large, fallknee of Eve. That knee, that ample, bossy feature of the mighty mother of mankind, was all that conld be seen. of her-, . bat it teemed enough—it seemed warm, strong, senti ent, chased with life and (flood, a ‘grand woman In itself, and a sufficient pedestal for the Imago of the first death. In comparison with the languid flesh of the Abel, it seemed to throb and glow with life; while the shoulder and arm and neck of the marble youth bent across it, so dead and so transparent—never , corpse of love’s young Idol shone out sweeter and more transparent (rom the cerements, than this crystal bosom of the statue from the poor coverings of the atelier. The group, as ’ now arranged, uncovered and made public, exhibits, in two figures, larger than nature, the effect of the firet murder. The tre mendous fruitage of the garden has been eaten, and the woman feels that 6h.-, has bronght forth two prodigies Into the world; one is this fair boy that she has so often watched, informed with warm existence, and glancing in the snn among the sheep; one is Abel, the other is the stronger—it is death. * She will exataine this last, prodigious off spring. Sho will understand if eyes can avail, this dark thing of dying. She bends her large face of ignorant consternation over the features of the victim. With one impulse of her great primitive limbs she has trained the young body until it archcß over her lap; she bows upon it her gTand, rude head, the ivy of the Euphrates forests falling from the hair. Imagination clus ters around the group the umbrageous loneliness of antediluvian woods ■. Eve Is solitary with her dead, ‘two : great figures, the giants of the primal world, ore away—Adam, and Cain. The earth is large enough for them and her. She has dragged her young into the cavern of her grief to be alone. It is a: stupendojas situation, and the young sculptor has evidently been thrilled with it many a.long-year before he committed it to ‘the rigid interpretation of the marble. The story is told with the’ simple eloquence that starts from and brings conviction. ; In those two pale, large, im mobile shapes of Btone yon may see, if yon like, all the tremendous question of the original gene* Me, the spring of the one paramount issue, life and death. . ’ - INTRIGUES OF PRUSSIA, A Flan for Territorial Acquisition, The Washington Star of last night says: We Understand'that information has been re* celved herb creating something of a stir in diplo matic quarters, that the, Prussian Government is endeavoring to obtain a port as a naval station in the Caribbean sea, and to that end sent Captain Kinderiing, of the Prussian Royal Navy, with the sloop-of-war Augusta, to: reconnoitre in the sea ol the Antilles.

' . ; PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1868. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS - XJBTTER FBOn PARIS. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] Baris, Friday, May 20, 1868.—If : thp present weather continues therewill soon be an end sof the spring beauties of Furls, and; of the season of 1868. The heat during the past weels has been as great, I think, as I ever remember it at this early period of- the yean The town has become dusty with macadam and demolitions, and hot as an oven; and already great'numbers of ourwihter residents have beat a “retreat to copier regions. Most of tho “seaside establishments” open on ihe Ist of June, at Dieppe, TrouvUlc,&c.,and visitors there will this year be unusually. early. The term of town-life is, in fact, already felt to be over. Scarcely an attraction is left for the beau monde except the Lundis of the Empress (estab lished on purpose to prolong tho reason and keep the Parisians in good humor for ihe next elec tion); and on Monday last every ono present in the heated <aA»u of the Tnileries felt that the time for wax.-lights.and dancing, was over, and tho talk even of the Court itself, was, how soon it could migrate to the shades of St. Cloud or Fontainebleau, and exchange suffocating town soirdes for feltt champetres. Young America is enjoying Itself immensely just now in the latter line'; and wherever yon go in the environs of Paris, you aro sure to fall in with many a char a-banc (besides your own), the ringing langh from.whifch, as it comes rouingon the ear,and the look of [frank, hearty, unrestrained merriment beaming on every young female face especially, tell you that it is filled with tho sons and daugh ters of the, “land of the free.” There Is nothing in all the world pleasanter than these first spring flights of young birds all aronnd the beautiful suburbs of Paris in tho woods of Ville d'Avray and B»rtory, the breezy heights of Bellevue and Mendon, the cool retreats, of Fontenoy-anx" roses (so well deserving of its sweet same), or even the snug bosquets of the Jarclin Robinson and its restaurant, where a dinner, np a tree in ihe cool of the evening, is no bad conclusion to your day’s rambles. All this, however, is only preparatory, and whets the appetite for the approaching summer campaign in Swit ’ zerland and more distant scenes of travel. And to that period of a more general exodus wo are now fast tending, as the customary, course of events already warns ns. The French Derby was run," as usual, on Sunday' last at Chantilly, whither all the “Latin” race, and, I fear, cot a few of the “Anglo-Saxon” as well, flocked to see the first great event of the French sporting year. An unforlunate native of Venezuela, inexperienced doubtless in the business of the turf, was knocked over as he attempted to cross the course, and is likely to pay dearly, for the pleasures of - a visit to Paris. Soon we shall have ihe Grand Prix de Paris, and; the last great gath ering of fashion Inthe Boia de Bonlognejand then the great break-up will follow, and the word wilj be, heigh, for Baden-Baden, the Alps, and tho Ap. penines, and the Mont ! Cenls-Railway? The Emperor and Empress go to Rouen on Sunday to try and soothe the protectionist manufactu rers .and agriculturists of Normandy, exasperated not a little by their late deleat, and the abrupt close put upon their complaint and grie vances, in the Corps Legislatif. It seems, however, that their Majesties do not intend going on an hour further by rail, to be present at the opening of the Maritime exhibition at Havre. The Emperor is expected as usual to “say some, thing” at Ronen to the Rouenois, and so also,is bis Eminence Monseieur, the Cardinal de Bon nechose, Archbishop of Ronen, expected to “say something” to the Emperor.-- Even os I write the telegraph announces the further acquittal of President Johnson on articles second and third of the indictment, and_the ad jonrnment of the Conrt sine die. I have already spoken of the appreciation of the French press of former intelligence of a similar character; and I need not add that the present decision seems to be regarded in the same light. There can be no doubt that In Europe the de position of the First Magistrate of the Republic would have been regarded with alarm, as likely to give a shock to the stability and authority of the American Executive. Whereas, an indict ment and acquittal have at least these advantages with respect to foreign policy, that they hove im pressed people here at once with the conviction of the plenitude of the popular will In the United States, as well as with the calmness and dignity of the attitude maintained by the nation- I have no doubt that one of the effects of this impression will be an increase of favor for Ame rican securities in all the markets of this conti. cent. . Wo have almost yearly proof now of the rising importance of the American element in this capital by the increasing requirement it de mands. A short time sines an American news paper was founded for the first time in Paris- The increasing importance of American financial operations, both socially and commercially, has just induced the well-known firm of Drexel & Co., of-Phiiadelphia, and Drexol, Winthrop & Co., of New York; to open a hew branch Ameri can Bank in Paris, under the style of Drexel, Harjla & Co.« y in every way, - socially, finan cially, commercially, politically, America is increasing her lead in this great centre of Europe,- and consequently the influence of her example and institutions throughout toe Old World at large. - - - ■ Ail accounts represent the Germanic emigra tion to the United States as having been un usually large of late; I see it stated that, Accord ing to official returns, sixty thousand Germans leftfor toe United States By Bremen alone, in the course of lastyear.'Of these, mere than fourteen thousand are designated as Hanoverians or Hessians, ‘ . \ Tho Mont Cenis railway was traversed and in spected the other 'day by toe - Chairman of the Company (toe Duke of Sutherland) and a party of the directors of the undertaking.. The passage was accomplished easily and safely in a train of ten; first-class carriages, and ten trucks in four hours, at the rato of abont 15 miles per hour, In-r ' ciudingi stoppages for inspection, &c. The line will, I understand, be opened to toe public early noxtmonth. ,' / - ,'; - In spite of railway competition, we are once more enabled to enjoy hero -what -used fonnerly to be considered so great a treat, a voyage down tho Seine -from Paris to Ronen.' A fine steamer has just beehput on tho river, and any one who has ever undergone the infliction of a diligence journey between the two'cities, may; again re alize the relief he felt in former days when this pleasant trtp.by:,water was first opened to him. Good steamboats still ply between Rouen and Havre, where the banks of the Seine arc nojv al most continually occupied by the chatoaux and OUR "WHOLE COUNTRY.

Tbe Bejgnimr Prince ITliclicl Anas ■mated—Agitation in .Belgrade -Ex citement on tbe Banks of tho Dan* - nbe., Queen's Motel, London, June 10, 1868— Night.—Telegrams' from Servfa, just received, convey the startling Intelligence that the reign ing Prince Michel Obrenovitch the Third, when walking in the TopsehidorPark, In Belgrade, at 5 o’clock, this evening, was shot ddwn; - ' His assassin was one of- three men; all of whom were armed with revolvers, who approached near to him for a moment .It Is not clearly stated whether one shot only was fired, or if .each of the assassins discharged his weapon with effect.- At the moment of forwarding- the despatches from Belgrade the city was convulsed with ex citement,' and the communication of the nows ontslde the walls was likely to agitate the popu ' ation on the right bank of the Danube seriously, and disturb tile entire* territory of the Principali ties. : : : ;. There is no direct Intimation, so far, as to the probable canso of.the murderous act; but it Is in terred that it is in some manner connected with the popular disturbance, by actual revolt, exist ing in Bosnia, the western border of Servid,froin tile last week in May, since which time the . Bos nian, movement has assumed large proportions, Osman Pacha operating with a strong force of Turkish cavalry- for Its suppression.’;;' ... The promulgation of the Saltan’s plana of-re form, accompanied by an announcement; from Constantinople to tbe effect .that his Imperial Highness, in receiving a. deputation from the Christian communities, declared that he wished, that every one in his dominions might be able to rise even to the-rank of Grand Vizier, without distinction of creed, have also tended to inflame a strong party feeling In the Tnrkißh provinces, and the Prince Michel may. have been taken off by the hand of some fanatic of tho old school provincials, as he Is Bald to have been friendly to the idea of progress in Turkey. Prince Michel the Third . was forty-three years of age,, being born on the 4th of September, 1825. He .was confirmed, in; the dignity of -reigning Prince of Servia by a firman ofthe Sublime Forte issued the 7th of October, 1860.' He married.in 1831 Jolla, daughter of Const Francis Kethely, then a Grand Chamberlain of the Court of Austria. Tbe Betnrn bou tbe llerby—An Ex traordinary Scene. '. ■ The London Daily News says: • “The, most extraordinary scene probably ever witnessed on a Derby night took; place on that portion of the road lying between Clapham Com mon and the Elephant and Castle. Owing,to the extraordinarily large ' number of vehicles of every description that went down to Epsom -in the morning, it was anticipated that considera ble confusion would occur after.dusk in the eve ning on that part of the road near- to', London; and to provide for the contingency a strong body of the L, P. and V divisions of police, both horse and foot, were .placed . along the road, between the above-named points. From seven to eight o’clock a continuous doable line of vehicles came streaming into town and werflgjkept in tolerably , good order by the police, moving on slowly, but steadily. About 8 o’clock, however, when the traffic began to grow very thick, the leading hor6es in a four-horse van, when near the Horns atKennington, foil down, completely' blocking up and stopping the traffic for about ten mlnntes before they conld bo got upon their legs. This ten mlnntes did all the mischief. Tho drivers of some of the carriages behind, Impa tient to get on, broke the line, which had; been hitherto well kept. The example was speedily followed by others, and in a few minutes, for at least two mileß along the road, all was confusion and uproar. “In every direetion might be heard the crash ing in of tail-boards and panels, wheels got locked together, and for nearly an hour vans, omnibnses, barouches, broughams, cabs, wagon ettes, carts of all descriptions, costeimongers’ donkey-barrows, &c., were mixed up together ip one apparently inextricable mass.. Good immor, however, generally prevailed In all quarters. Many of the occupants of the vehicles, especially .those outside the vans aßd omnibuses, seemed to enjoy the scene; and- beguiled the time by singing some of the popular airs of the day, and unmercifully chaffing those who showed any disposition to grumble at the state of affairs. To add to the excitement and confusion of the scene, the crowds of spectators assembled along tbe road to witness -the return home, always very large, was on this occasion, owing probably to the fineness of the evening, nearly doable the usual number, and. It was extraordinary that no serious accident happened. “During the time the block took place bands of roughs and idle boys amused themselves by pelt ing the more respectable occupants Of the vehicles with Bmall paper bags of floor, evidently made np and sold for the purpose. This gave rise to sev eral fights, during the continnance of which the light-fingered gentry wero plying a good trade. By dint of great exertion on the part of the po lice, after nearly an hour’s delay, they got the vehicles again in motion, and they slowly pur sued their way towards the “Elephant” Aa late as 11 o’clock one'unbroken line of vehicles was still pouring into town, and It was evident that it would: be long after midnight before the traffic wohld cease”’ ■ * A Commissioner to tho Mnlted States# It is announced that the British Society of Arts has: instructed Mr. Coningsby, author of the “Spccial Report on the Condition of the French Worklng Clasßca,” to visit the chief cities ef . the United;State.s, for the twofold purpose of inqnir ing into the present state of .

(From the Utica Herald, Jnno 9.1 Tho particulars of one of the most brutal mur ders, committed in Madison county, have leached ns. Moses Johnson, who resided In tho southwest quarter of the to wn of Brookfield, and near the old Methodist church, was, on Saturday, found to have been murdered in hie own honse and his body thrown into the well:, He had been missed by his neighbors, since Thursday evening, the Ith inst., -when the murder was. probably committed. On Friday,,the oth, the Overseer of Highways called at his house for the purpose of notifying him of projected work on, the road,, and rapped at the* door; but hearing no re sponse bat the barking of his watchdog, thought Mr. Johnson was about the premises and that he conld see him the following day,. which would answer just as well, and accordingly went away. Not, however, meeting him. next day, as he had anticipated, he just at night, on Saturday, sent a lad to see and notify him. The boy approached the door, as his employer had dono the day bo fore, ana,' after waiting awhile, ventured to open it, when he observed unmistakable evidences of the fonl deed. He at once gave the; alarm, and the neighbors, on repairing to the dwell ing, found an axe. smeared with blood, and,hair and a trail of blood from a chair near the stove, to the front door Of the dwelling, which was'also in the direction of the well. A farther examina tion discovcred.the body dt the bottom, with s6v eral large atones upon it. The skull .was cleft ,in the back the fall size of tho axe and the brain penetrated to the depth of two or three inches. The deceased was some fifty-five years'.of age and had for some time lived entirely alone npon bis own premises, working the farm, - making shingles, and was also much employed aS a horse doctor. He wns known a few days, since to be in possession of a considerable sum of money, with which he proposed to pay a mortgage on a recent purchase or land, which, however, has not been paid. Mr. J. was last seen olive on Thursday evening, at abont nine o’clock by two boys who called at his house. .They were there while he took tea.. On their leaving he walked with them a part of the way, and, Bidding them good night, returned In the direction of his honse und they to their home near by.

Tbo Noble Bed man on the WarJPatb —Anotber massacre A correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer , from Devil’s Lake, May 28th, says: , Lo.l Is on the war path, sure. About an hour since a band Of Teton Sioux, about 35 In number, charged nearly up to the sally-port of the fort, and succeeded In capturing a few mules; Their approach was not noticed, as they came around the hills and through the ravineß, until they got between the fort and herd. The alarm was at once sounded 'and the Indians retreated amid a shower of bullets. • About three miles out they met the supply train coming from Fort Stovenson, on the Missouri. They gave the train a wide berth, as it was well guarded, but suc ceeded in capturing one wagon in the rear of it, belonging to the Northwestern Fur Company, shooting the driver, a Frenchman, named Flury, who formerly lived near Redwood, Minn., who now lies in a dying condition in the Post Hos pital. The train brought in with them the body of Abraham Coon, an old mountaineer, who came to Montana last fall, and resided here during the winter. Mr. Coon started for the Missouri river on Thursday morning, and his body was found yesterday on the road between here and Fort Stevenson. He was shot through the head, and had evidently made a manly resistance, as a mem ber of discharged cartridge shells were found ly ing around his body, and his wagon was pierced with bullets and spotted with blood. His remains will be interred this afternoon; ; The ball has opened, and I would say for the benefit of those passing from Abercrombie in this direction, to come well armed, and be watch ful. Eternal vigilance is the price of life. There are a large number of the hostile Indians a short distance from here West, and they may. at any time, pass around between here and Abercrom bie. .. The Indians who have iust made this daring raid, were commanded by Setting Bull and young Ink-pah-dutah, a son of old Ink, who perpetrated the massacre at Spirit Lake, in 1857; and have been encamped during pert of the winter between ; Buford and Stevenson, on the Missouri, and lately at Turtle Mountain. Infantry cannot cope successfully with these ‘ fleet-footed Indians. Might as well start a flock of boys with their pockets full of stones to kill blackbirds. . ’ : . i Secretary HcCntlocb’s Bemoynl, The Boston Post's Washington ■ correspondent telegraphs thence as follows: “The irrepressible rumor'of Cabinet changes hos been again revived, and to-day It Is confi dently stated on the street that the pressure on. ihe President -has become so great for a : change in the Treasury Department, that he will intimate to McCulloch that his resignation would be ac cepted.

The night was, however, dark and stohny; and as a number of bush fires had, been lighted for the purpose of burning timber 'off the land, the horse wandered from the beaten track, and the fair travelers. got benighted. Finding that all attempts to regain the road wore fhilt leßs, they fastened the horse to .a tree, camped for the night, and wished for the morn ing. ■ Of course they had no idea of sleeping, bqt the misery they encountered was more of a men 'tol than of ajah'ysical 'naturei'as there was noth- " ing save the kangaroo and opossum' to disturb their rather unpleasant retirement.
