The BRITISH PARLIAMENT had an interest
ing and important session yesterday. The
Premier intimated that the Legislature will
adjourn on the 5th of August. This
is quite pleasant. Mr.. Disraeli then
inveighed against the Public Worship
Regulation bill, and again stood forth
as the champion of religious liberty by
the utterance of q hearty denunciation of
Gadstone's policy and project. He thus
supplied quite spicy kind of food for the use
OF the politicians during the recess.
The ORANGE CELEBRATION. The trouble
some Orange anniversary passed off quietly
Yesterday. The brotherhood wisely refrained
from interrupting the city traffic by parade,
contenting themselves with picnic to Iona
Island No disposition was shown by any Of
the opposing factions to interfere with the
members Of the Orange order. The celebra-
ton passed of quietly in all the cities of the
Union. At Philadelphia one of the marshals
was wounded by shot fred by man, who
was Immediately arrested. Another man was
wounded during the excursion to Iona Isla nd,
owing to the reckless use Of firearms by the
members of the order With these excep-
tons there are, fortunately, no casualties 10

tons which keep alive so much il-feeline
should be persisted in.

almost unimpaired, if we are to judge
from the Treasury hopes which are ex-
pressed by the island government. The newly

In short, he called for an unlimited authority,
declaring his readiness to accept limitations

limitations he should find himself irreconcil-
ably at issue with the Assembly. With his
declarations to this effect before them, four
hundred and ninety-nine Deputies voted to
make him President for seven years, despite
the energetic protest of the republicans that
they were creating personal power around

Attempt to Assassin.ts Bismarck.

The Great North German Chancellor has
been the object of one of those foolish and
criminal attempts which the experience Of
every man who has been bold enough to
grapple with questions which excite the pas
sions of large numbers of men must have
prepared him for. The telegraph had scarcely
announced the departure of the great Prussian
Minister for Kissingen to recruit his health
when the wires brought the news of an
attempt to assassinate him. He had scarcely
arrived at Kissingen when ball from the
pistol OF the would-be murderer grazed his
wrist, inficting very slight wound. The
assassin was Immediately arrested. Up to
crime. He is probably religious enthu-
slast anxious to remove the prosecutor
from the path of the Church The immediate
result, however, will be to strengthen the in
fuence OF this remarkable man and to dis
credit his enemies with the people. This
attempt on the life of Bismarck shows how
profoundly the sweeping changes in the polit-
lcal and religious constitution of Germany.
due to the successful wars directed by the
warlike Prussian Minister, have moved tho
German mind. United Germany is still far
from an accomplished fact, and had Provi-
derce not turned a1lde the assassin's bullet
the unfinished structure might have crumbled
almost as fast as it was created. But it was
not to be. The star of Sedan is still in the
ascendant; but the life of the great statesman
will be embittered by the thought that native
enemies desire to spill his blood. Henceforth
his life will be darkened, as was Cromwelrs,
by the dread of the lurking assassin for those
who armed one murderer hand will not hesi-
tate to sock out new fanatics.

cut the horse, which started forward, and
when he came down it was upon the

it. There was no reason for the horse
remaining on his account. Friends
gathered around him after his descent,
as they always do when a fellow wants
to be left alone, and asked if he wanted
this or wanted that. What he really
wanted was to sit down. He did so. he
placed one hand on his head, another
on his stomach, and, indeed, thinks that
if he had had sixteen hands he could
have found suitable places for their APP
plication. But as for the horse. he as
sures his audience that this and its other
antics-such as walking about on its
hind feet with its thumbs under its arms,
like q lord mayor, were all natural tai
ent. The horse had been brought up In
the wild West, and had never had any
opportunity to develop these gifts. AS
have said, the way in which this story
is told is inimitable, and, indeed, the
whole lecture is admitted to be one OF
the most unique pieces of grotesquerie
ever known in these parts.

The crop Of gubernatorial candidates is

ries as follows: The talk of literary
London just now is Mark Twain's &C
count, in his new lecture, Of the buck
ing horse, which he purchased in Ne

paper, as half the effect produced by the

chasing this steed he had no idea Of
what 'bucking meant, but he was too

however, be obtained through the disci-
