NETHERLANDS PAPERS.


Boston, June 27-We are indebted to Mr..
B,erenstyn for Brussels papers to May IS. The
King of the Netherlands had SO far recovered
his health, after submitting to surgical opera
ton at the Hague, as 10 appear at church,
where he returned thanks to the Almighty for
his recovery The pretended Greek prince
Zaphirophoulo, VINO married French heiress,
after setting upon her number of imaginary
estates in Greece, and who after being discover
ed to be no true prince, was tried on the charge
of bigamy, was acquitted at Paris, the docu-
ment to prove the first marriage in Greece not
being regularly authenticated. A German pa
per gives the following anecdote, which 1t is
asserted was the subject Of general conversation
at Vienna, at the time of the late illness OF the
Emperor Joseph III. Immediately after he was
proclaimed emperor, repaired to Presburg IN
Hungary, and there learning that there was a
nun of St. Ursula, who predicted future events,
he went TO the convent, and requested to see
the prophecies. The Superior replied that
theoe was no such person in her house, but Jo-
seph ii. insisted, and demanded that all the
nuns should appear before him. When they
were in his presence, the emperor, from Inior-
nation which he had received, soon discover
ed the person he sought. He took her aside,
and demanded of her how many years his reign
would last. The nun endeavored all in her
power to be excused from answering the ques-
ton, bu, Joseph insisted on being obeyed. The
nun perceiving that resistance would be useless
asked the emperor for his pencil, Penknite,
and a piece of paper She cut the pencil,
sharpening the point well, and began to mark
strokes upon the paper AT the tenth, the point
of the pencil broke, and the nun said ten gears.
The emperor observed that this period was too
short to accomplish the regeneration which he
had projected in Europe, & wished to know the
duration of the reign Of his successor. The nun
cut the pencil anew, and began to make marks
At the second, the pencil broke. Joseph remark
ed that his successor would not be able to &C
complish in 2 years the project Of regeneration
which he should have begun, there will not
even be time, said he, for him to get engaged
in it. He then demanded how long would be
the duration of the second reign after his. The
pencil marked tbirty-three strokes, and then
broke He at last said, Joseph may accomplish
something important, if he has the talents ne
cessary to follow my plan; in truth, envy his
lot This thirty-third year expired at the end
of the year 1925. The recollection OF this an
ecdote served to exagger. tie the danger of the
emperor's illness. Unfortunately for the story,
the emperor recovered.
