Jackson's Statue of Eve and Aisel.— lt has
often been observed that our feelings will not
come forward on the proper occasions. .The
tourist looks down Vesuvius with snobbish pa
tronage, while n copper ear-ring that some pagan
Biddy had worn In escaping from Pompeii makes
him blow his nose and'wipe his glasses. 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. .

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. He
selected the port of Llmon, Costa Rica, as the
beßt adapted for the purpose, and a communi
cation- was addressed by Mr. Lahmann, the
Piusslan Consol, to the Government of Costa
Rica,,proposing, a negotiation ,fo?- the grant of
the port to the Prussian Government. The Costa
Rican Government, however, . refused
to accede, to, tho solicitation so, ilat
terlngly presented, and made a pointed
allnsion to the “Monroe Doctrine,” tho
principles oi which are declared in tho answer to
be “acknowledged by all America." The resnlt
of the, affair is .considered in Diplomatic circles as
decidedly complimentary to Mr. Seward’s diplo
macy, in| upholding the Monroe, doc trine;'and
in the contrast afforded by his success in negoti
ating for the purchase of St. Thomas, St. Johns,
- and' thc Bay of Samana. -

that some have already been returned to their

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1868.

[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

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

Five years ago Callicott visited Albany as
Speaker, of the Assembly and member of the
Board of Land Commissioners. On Monday
night became, In custody,of a sheriff, to take
-lodgings for two years; in the Albany Peniten
tiary. - :
When received at the prison, Callicott remarked
to General PiUsbury that the last and only time
ho ever visited the Penitentiary was in 1860,when
he aime there as a member of the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means on official” business.
He added .that he little expected then that he
should ever enter the building in the - capacity of
a prisoner. He appeared os cheerful as - the cir
cumstances would permit,; and .frankly.told Gen.
Tillsbnry that ho wasroody- to conform to the
rules. - His whiskers were shaved off, his hair Out
dose, and, dressed In prison attire, he was locked.
In a cell for the night
Colonel Enright‘was pat through the same

but little. He was recently married to-a young
and estimable lady, Of Brooklyn, and he appears
to feel keenly the disgrace his present position

Callicott still holds the office of Revenue
Collector. Ho has never r resigned and
has not been ’removed. He 1 was simply

Tragedy In Brookfield, If. If.
(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

of North Brookfield, with a jury,, have the mat

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

intending, if possible, to reach Stratford in rea

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

day broke they succeeded in finding the traek,
and in an hour’s smart . travelling reached Mr.

host administered those comforts which were ne
ccssary to their recovery after a night’s ex
posure to the equinoctial storm.' Under the kind
treatment of Mr. Dickens, they soon retained
their wonted cheerfulness, but have ’ resolved
never again to venture on a journey through the
bush after nightfall,” , , , ' ,*
