The Empress Is eapabla of great exertion, ond doe* not shrink front fatigue, but for months past ska has not been able to bear the etropg odors of flowers. Accordingly, at the grand gala at the Opera last nigtit, ths Imperial box, eifirfrged so-a* to occupy the whole frokt of tie theatre?I mean the whole dreee circle opposite the stags, contained no plsuts or flowers.

At night the bouse blazed without and within with a perfect splendor of lights and deco? rations. The vicinity was illuminated. The stalls were thirty francs, and all the unre-. served seats at proportional prices. The ? , crush of carriages, the magnificence of eostumes, you may imagine; but court and military etiquette together give an order In Timiiw hi urew kiunv pprovsoiw in T? bvtiking and Impreaaivo than their magnificence. In aeoordanee with the Rpaaian custom, the Imperial party was received by the audience without any demonstration The Cur and ihe Kniprcsa cams forward and saluted ; then the J&rnperor and the Princess Royal of l'ritasie, then all took the places which their t. rank assigned thcin.

There are some awkward things in the entertainment of sovereigns For example, it the Kmperor of Austria should some to the Exhibition by the route of Berlin, would they ahow him thetrophies of Konigsgrnta? It la uot certain that he wifl come. If Juarex has shot hi^brothcr, the Kmperor Ma*imillan, liow ean the Kmneror of Austria come to Paris? The sudden departure of the King and Quren of Belgium is raid to hav J been in con??nuence of the n< wa lately received from Mexico. ' The Kmperor Napoleon may not ha fesporsible for the roso jut ion taken by Maximilian to remain in Mexioo, bat If the Isto newa ia confirmed, hia brother will scarcely come from hia coronation /?U$ in Hungary to dsnce at the Tuileriea and the Hotel de Villc, In Paris. The possible fate of Maximilian hangs like a black cloud over all these splendors of royalty, and tha confirmation of the terrible rumors now cUrrent would coyer all the courts of Europe with mourning. AUtfrniA. The Emperor ot Austria may not come, but Austria shines ot the Exhibition. I am disposed to rank the Austrian department next to the French, in taste and elegance.? Judging by its works, Vienna must be a ootid Paris, and the productions of the Austrian Empire arc extraordinary richness and variety, in iron, hronce, wood, leather, glass and porcelain; in corn and wine, in textile fabrics. I cannot describe the inv .prtssion one gets ot the character of a country by walking through this Exhibition, from s lump of coal to a statue. The wealth of the land and tha genius of the people are there. You become imbued with its spirit. Every product and every work is pervaded by a nubile, penetrating magnetism. Kvery chef <T ouvre has it* peculiar sphere, and Impresses yon with its qualities. It teems to me that I oould tell in what part of the Inhibition I was with my eyes shut, so strong ia the feeling that each country glvea of its peculiar character, Austria and Prussia differ so tnueh that one can understand the necessity for a political separation. Pnitsia has much to he admired?much that is strong, brave, vigorous and artistic; but 1 have a weakness for Austria. THE CHAMPA DB MASS. In a ehort time the Champs de Mara will have an International Theatre in operation, a Chinese TTjeatre, n *afe Concert, beside 1 other day nnd evening ooneerts, and ho able to keep a few thousands of its visitors, who come in the morning, late into the night. As it Is, the jecple get sway hut 1 slowly. When the great central exhibition closes, with a 100,000 people in the grounds, k and steamers, omnibuses nnd voltaren must werk for hours to get them nwny. They 1 are too tired to wain any distance. Some have walked ten, some twenty miles during ' trie any. in*i eta euuv u? onn? without going oat of the central building. 1 defy any one to see the entire eolleclion of the machinery in the building, not to apeak of the much larger qMntiliee in the annesea, without walking ten miloa.

But the' report of the Cotton OowarMssiofter states that the effort* to Acclimatise the Sea Ifland, New . ^ Orleans. Peruvian, Egyptian and Dhanwan cotton, n4Ve nil failed, as compared with i the native Hiegnnghst and Berar. The I Commissioner says that cotton production I has already gained sueh n position in India as will enable it to bear tna fail fbrct of commercial depression and the lower price* |i tlint must oomc. lie ha*. *'no doubt that Well directed moans and energy will prove 1 as successful in the long run " aa they were io the Southern States of America. While we need not l>e alarmed at these efforts of the British to compete with us in 1 the production of cotton, end to make them- I selvea Independent of us for this prima an 1 tide of manufacture and commerce, it will < ba well to compare the shortsighted nod 1 injurioua legislation ol our stupid Congress i in checking the cultivation, with their lib- 1 eral and far aeeing policy in stimulating it. Our war, In cutting off that supply o( Anier- 1 icon cotton from Jtngiand upon which she < 'had mainly depended, has been the chief 1 cause of die attempts to produce it efce- 1 where, so o? to make her independent of 1 this country. She had, however, for ysui ' before the war, been looking for new cot- I ton producing regions and stimulated the cultivation whervver there was a prospect of success. Millions of pounds sterling have been tpcat in these effort*. British n'atesmcn ars far aeeing, and do not let the petty prejudice of party polities or fnetlon^nter fere whenever national interests nre in question. See how different has been tho eon- I ft not nt AH r rVtnorrMs in il>? ~-~,l tiop of cot I on at a time whti it needed all 1 the encouragement possible, The totton States had been desolated by war; their labordisorganized ; their capital gone ; their machinery end iia|>lemeataof industry worn ' out; their plantations in many partr unprotected from river overflow*?vet, with ail the*e and other obetaelra and drawbacks. Congress laid a heavy tax on the ni eduction. We put a check upon the growth of an article more valuabi* to the Ibpuliljc, many limes over, than all the gold nnd silver of oil the mines in the country. To this article we hud to look chiefly for paying the balance of trade against us abroad, for paying the gold interest ou the national debt held in foreign countries, and for keeping specie at iiotnc. Nothing would promote the general prosperity and commerce of the country ot bring us to specie payments sooner than lnrge crops of cotton ; yet our sapient legislators have burdened and checked the production. Wo know of nothing in the his tory of legislation more short-lighted aud stupid. Still, as we said, we neod net be alarmed with all Utrae depressing circumstances, that tho cotton trade will pass from us, or that England can successfully compete with nn in the production ef the 'material. N* lure, and not man, lias decided this matter. The Cotton Commissioner in India U ia oostacv because there they have inoreased the production from thirty pounds to seventy pounds the acre. We raise, from a fair ?v. erage crop, four hundred pounds on atiaere. Besides, the eotton of India is much interior to ours. .It is the short staple kind, not suited, without being mixed with ours, tor the manufacture of the best materials. And they have failed to acclimatize the Amot lean VAI'iplicR In TnHifl "V nl? mill Cnrslanrl be able to do this, unless aho ean tarn the Oulf Stream which sweet* along this continent to the const of India, or oan find another auch Gulf Stream with tie climatic influences elsewhere. It la this wonderful and beniflcent phenomenon of nature which gives us the aeeesaary showers of rain alternately with the warm rajra of a aemitropical son, that reaches a certain bait of our oouutry, the great cotton producing ra gion of the world. Thla it if which bringa to auch profitable maturity that beautiful and valuable annual plant which clothes the world and covers the oceans with the eaile of commerce. This is beyond the competition of British capital or Biitlsh national pride. We have, in years before the war, produced over two hundred and fifty millions of gold dollars' worth of cotton annually, and if Congrraa docs Dot ruin the South and the production of cot ion. by itaabeurd and dangeroua legislation, we may exoeed that amount hereafter. 1 ha demand will be increasing continually, as civilisation advancer, nnd, io rpite of what may be done in India and other cotton countries, we can alwaya command the markets of the world.

General .Schoficld, the militarj commander, saw with his own eyes that the police acted with the cool courage of Which only truly brave men ate capable; snd, at the moment when it waa needed, the a hole military force of the dtatriet was at hand to support them.

The leason of Virginia Is a hseon of encouragement for us. }t cannot be expected that Carolina shall remain free from nt? tempted cxeitcmoiit and disturbance, or that political propagandist?! should not pro duee some temporary external effect, I'.ut herein may we show our strength. Our people have, in an unparalloled condition of things, behaved in a manner wbffhy of themselves and of their reputation.

However long it may be deferred, the day will come when the difference between conaietenl principle and unreasoning fanaticism, will he both appreciated and nnderetood; and. in the meanwhile, we may reat assured that every honeet man, every lover of juatiec, will be with ub at leaat in thought, and wa may hope and expect that in every emergency there will he that perfect eoneert of action and unanimity of feeling which ourciiizcna have eo well and nobly deserved.

This was the smallest increase shown du- .w ring my experimenting, several lots gaining er much more. I have been feeding six quarts P* corn per head, four at night and two at din?... r ik. i .. Va withneoided improvement, in fuct, my stock * are fattening every day, especially the olJ 01,1 or.ea. Where there ia plenty of long forage, I prefer the hominy to nioul, for the animal c ^ chews the former, thcieby bringing into play the muscles of the jaw and month, necessary for the expulsion of the requisite amount of saliva to mix with the food ; rel the latter (i ?. meal) would prohably do by better where it w is intended to cut forage art and mix ; here the eut forage would furnish aei substance for action of the jaw. I have co' no hesitation in saying that I am saving 25 c?j per cent, by grinding, even supposing thst ho 1 paid one tenth for toll I commend the th above to my fellow *tarvationi?t? of the dy South. It is almost as important as the H< " convention " question. I use a four-horse m< engine, end one of McOreight's in com par- ev able * reverse grist mills," which easily be turns out 10 bushels per hour. Yours, hii T. W.

The girls, while playing in the fn Iard, thought of a hen's nest under the >n ouse, and at once concluded to empty it m' of its contents. Olio of them reached her ^ hand into the nest but drew it back sud- ^ i^enly, exclaiming that the old hen was ?b mad and had pecked her.

M art in Coffee, formerly a miser of the l'ifth Kentucky (Federal) vnlry, an<l a convict named llenry Holt, deserter from tho Texas Hangers, had mod a plan of escape, and while the eonils, numbering about threb imndrcd. ?ek and white, were seated at dinner on nday, Coffee gave a signal and immediatecommenced an attack with a knife on the ly guard present, a man named Header i. no, liowerer, managed to defeftd himf until ten of lh?j penitentiary guanls, 0 had been lounging about the yard, shad in a body into the room, each with leveled revolver covering one of tha relliona orown, and the storm died away HOil ienly as H led broken. The leaders >re at once teii' d, bound and whipped, tile their constituents, all save one, sillily' marched to their cells. A negro 'tied English eseaped in the confusion and 1 himself under a p.le of lumber l? the rd. He was discovered and fired upon the guard. After being wonnded h* an- out and surrendered.

Tiik Rights Or Minoiutirs?Among other rorros advocated In thuBritish Parliament the philosopher of that body, do ha Stui Mil), is the right of minorities to rspre nation. It is a strange fast that, in untries where popular suffrage la the regnined basis of Govornmeat, the minority, wtver large, should be smothered by e majority, however small. To remethis anomaly, Mr. Mil) propones that the >use be composed on the basts of one snibor for every :i,000 votes cast, and that cry candidate who reeeivea that number returned, in whalevsr part of the eounlrv i voter* may live, fn Ibia way, the anpresented minorities of several Boroughs Counties might combioe sod secure a ember of Parliament. The difficulties in e way of this plan are easily surmounted. ?ere would naturally be a tend secy for e moat popular or emia< nt candidates to groM nearly all lha vole*, where local terestsdid not interfere ; but, by counting ore than 8,000 votes for each eondi tie, and allowing each voter to put upon s paper a second or third name, which ould be counted in case his first choice lould have a superfluous number, the |>ro< irtlon eould be maintained. In thia man sr there would be represented, not only ganired parties, but all opinions entericed by a certain unmbcr of people in iromon, which now have to take their laucea in the general scuffle. ??? - w W\?tn:wrroi*, June 10th, 18H7.
