The Attempt to Assassinate the En-
peror of Austria.

The Vienna journals contain the following
particulars relative to the attempt on the life
of the Emperor of Austria g&3a
On the evening of the 9th of October the
Emperor Francis Joseph visited the Czech
Theatre, at Prague, where he was received
with the national anthem. His Majesty wit
messed the performance for about an hour
and on leaving the theatre, just as the Em>
peror had entered his carriage, the English
captain, Hugh p. F. Palmer, who was present
in the crowd, observed a man raising his right
hand with pistol in it and pointing it at the
carriage. Captain Palmer had alfeady, be-
fore the Emperor came out, observed the man
in company with another. and thought he had
seen something like pistol in his hand,
which caused him to watch him Closely
When the pistol was pointed at the carriage
Captain Palmer distinctly noticed its being
cooked, but could not see whether there was
any, percussion cap on. At the moment he
observed this he threw his left arm round
the neck of the man, and with his right seized
the hand that held the pistol, pushing it
downward, and then it seemed to him that
the man dropped the pistol into the side poek-
ct of his paletot. AT this moment the i'm
perial carriage drove away, upon which Cap
tain Palmer dragged the would be assassin
across the street and handed him over to the
police.
When arrested the man dropped a small
parcel, which was afterwards found to contain
small bag of powder, leaden bullet, and
three percussion caps, wrapped in piece of
old silk. The pistol was found on the same
evening outside the theatre, by some young
men who knew nothing about the affair It
was loaded and at full cock, but had no per-
cpssiop cap on. 1t was .afterward discovered
that there was hole in the pocket of the
man, through which the pistol might have
dropped. The accused rs a journeyman tailor
and ''super" at the Bohemian Theatre his
name is Anton Pust; he is married and the
father.of two children. He emphatically dc.
nies his guilt.
According to the Ncue Fremden6zan. Of
Vienna, Captain Palmer is the SON of a we'll
known English banker, and has been staying
at Vienna for some time, where he has been
in treaty with the Austrian Government abou,
the purchase of ships He has made several
journeys to Trieste and Prague, and is going
to stay at Vienna during the winter to study
German. He is said to be we'll known II
Vienna on account of his rather eccentric
dress.

corn be planted in a subsoiled field the corn

Prophecy of the Meteors--End of the
World Announced.
NEm Ynnr Mnro,nh0,. 1

NEW YORK, November 13.
To HE Editor of the World:
Although speculation, scientific and nom
scientific, has been rife of late concerning this
metcoric display, which is certain to take place
between the hours of ~ p NJ. tonight and
p. NJ. to morrow, divested of all theoretical
hypothesis, if looked at in its true light, it
will be seen that the occurrence this wear is
not one that should excite our curiosity alone.
1t has very serious import; one, in fact,
which should be regarded by all men now
living, and who have been inercifully spared
from sudden deaths and calamities that lead
to bad end, as heavenly admonitioul that
this old world of ours has grown its full
growth, and must. like all things human, have
an ending. That the meteoric shower, So
called, is.the simple result of certain given
course of the earth through a certain planetary
region, there can be no doubt, but one must
look beyond the simple, abstract conclusions
of SdUamts to find not solely the origin, but
the absolute certain consequences, that are
shortly to follow this great event Of the hour
| need not go to the Bible to show you how the
many prophecies concerning the end of the
world prove that the {: clashing of spheres -
is not far distant, but will call your attention
to one prophecy that is to be needed. In the
year S66, great Roman SdUGnt named Lau-
tlcus, in the most minute mapner described
in treatise called De Aitndi CouGpsn, the
various meteoric displays that Were to take
place in years future from his time For
each display described he gave calculated
date, and, up to the year 1888, these prophe-
cies of Lapticus have all come to pass. The
last display that was to be had, according to,
him, was in a year during which great wars;
would have-bec wagcd over almost the en-
tire face Of the earth and when one great
empire would rise in its might and swallow
up many surrounding nations; when from one
end of the globe men could converse of the
disaster that befell them to those who dwell
in the other. Can that great empire not be
Prussia, and the means of distant intelligence
the cable? At that time; says the writer,
there will be .commotions in the heavens, for
that win be 1000 years from the. present
period5 when men who scorn to believe will
be made, to suffer for unbelief in heavenly ad-
monitions. The confmotions may last for sew
eral days, not exceeding five unseen by mortal
eyes, and these al e0ik Be chaos" i Ineed say
no more, Sir. Who Knows that you or /, or
any man living, may not be involved in the
general crash at-the end, of 's several days, mot
exceeding Eve" If all Lauticus' prophecies
have been fulfilled, what hinders tie last one
to be c4nally as welf fulfilled 2. We may not
pray that Heaven may avert fixed event, but
we may supplicate for mercy and be ready for
the dread hour when it Gonietk
Yours sincerely,
