New York, Aug. 1.-THE morning
papers have the following dispatches
from Europe by the Cable:
LONDON, Aug 9.--There is great ex-
citement here this evening at supposed
attempt to blow up the two Houses Of
Parliament Ten packages of gunpow-
der, with fuse partially burned, were
found near the entrance to the Lord
Chamberlain's Office in the House of
Lords. The members of Parliament have
visions of another Guy Fawkes gunpoW-
der plot.

RELATIONS BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND RUS
| STA.
BERLIN, Aug. S.-Gen. Monteufel hav-
| ing attended a military council and had a
favorable audience of the King, left yes
terday on special mission to st. Peters
burg. Referring to it, the semi official
journal, the Provincial Correspondence,
Of this evening says: Russia, by her po-
sition as great power, and also on ac-
count of her numerous family ties with
the German Courts, takes lively interest
in the German question. The relations
subsisting between Russias and Prussia
might suggest to Russia the expediency
and desirability Of making confidential
communications to the Cabinet in Berlin
in relation to the views entertained by the
Cars Government upon the recent steps
adopted by Prussia. Any apprehensions
respecting the attitude attributed to Prus
sia by certain German journals will in al
probability speedily prove groundless.
ADDRESS TO THE CROWN PRINCE OF PRUs
sIA, AND HIS REPLY.
The municipal authorities of Berlin
have presented an address to the Grown
Prince of Prussia, sympathizing witt
him in his af1iction, caused by the deatf
of his infant son, and eulogizing the wa
glory and military achievements in behal
of Prussia on the part personal to th'
Prince. The Crown Prince, in returning
thanks, pointed to the joyous prospec
about to be realized, which would fulfil
the just hopes of Prussia and the ma
tion.

The Book AND THE BELLows.-The fol-
lowing anecdote of President Lincoln is told
in letter from Panama, which appears in
the London Athen8um. The writer is reterr-
ing to the war between Chill and Spain. 81
asked the Gillian admiral (who is an English
man, and came out with me) why the Chiiians
did not try to get the greatest of American
republics to help them. He thought it was
no use trying, because couple of years AGO
he was sent to Washington to get the permits
sion of government for the purchase and ex-
port OF two vessels, at that time contraband of
war. President Lincoln received him with
his usual affability; and while Seward was
reading the Gillian state paper. Abraham
Lincoln said :-"Admiral, L must tell YOU a
little story. When young man was yery
anxious to read book which belonged to a
neighbor of NINE Neighbour asked, could
you lend me this book% Certainly he re-
piled, you can come here and read it when
you like. As the book was rather a bulky
one, thought this was rather an odd way OF
lending it to me; but let that pass. A short
time afterwards he came to me, Lincoln, he
asked, can you lend me your bellows? Ger
tainly' replied, here they are; you can come
here and blow away as much as you like
And that is Hexactly the case now, admiral ;
you can come here and blow away as much
as you like; but we cannot let you take the
ships away"

WILD CAT EXPERIENCE. A party of gen-
tlemen were looking at Stedman's wild cats in
Nashville few days ago. One of the party,
Ahck Norvell, held theory, by no means orr
ginal with him, that wild beasts might be con-
trolled by the human eye, backed by what the
transcendentalists call the "odic force" The
gentleman began his experiment; he looked
one OF the cats steadily in the eyes-the cat
crouched away as far as possible from the
cleaning orb OF the philosopher. Slowly the
saavnt neared the cage, until his face was near
the bars. The cat covered lower and lower.

paw, and with its claws nearly put out or a On.
