Alter the raaea on Suidaj the Imperial
party paid a visit to the Prince Imperial at
&U Cloud. At this charming retreat he
portaee hie studies and exercise* io quiet,
out oi the excitement which would snrt-oiina
liiin at the Tuilerida, lie inherits from his
vaether a delicate and sensitive nature,
cerealy consistent with robu?*jbeslth. 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. Bat it biased
with diamonds. On the other hand, the
stage was covered with real rose*, from the
gnidefte of the Bois de Boulogne. Never
have I seen the rose* of Paris in *ueh mag
nlfiesnce at at this moment.
At eight o'elooh yesterday morning there'
wag a line of nearly a hundred persons
formed at the bureau of lie Opera, which

Kraprror and Empress of Prance, and half
ths royalty and nobility of Europe. 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

you may imagine; but court and

In aeoordanee with the Rpaaian custom, the

without any demonstration The Cur and

I bava not the happiness of knowing
a word of it, but, to look ?i, it is iutiniteiy
prettier than any of our Western tongues.
Otherwise, the Orientals most learn French,
G* many are doing. The Viceroy of Egypt,
for example, was educated to Faria. If all

There ia to be, however, a military review
at Longehampa no great matter of troops,
only some sixty thousand, because the rust
have gone to Chalons. On the return of

to carry off all ilia honors. .He will show

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. Well, in thia
tired etete one ia naturally hungry; and
hera are fifty places where von can dine, in

You can hava buckwheat cakes and
baked henna, if von ebooae to or dor them.

the Cotton OowarMssiofter states that the
effort* to Acclimatise the Sea Ifland, New . ^

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

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.

Grinding Corn for Horses- ?'
Ma. Editor?I have just concluded dmrlea
of experiments in grinding corn for r,lj
horse*. Corn ground Into hominy, such as ?
we use for the table, will Increase in bulk
not laaathan 25 percent., or, In olhar wcrda,
KM) bushels ground as above will make 125.
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

xiVRNTiARr?Tho Kaslivills Banner of
? 1-11H instant slates that a serious dis hsnce
occurred in tho pctltentiary on
nday isst. 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. All were set to

makers, however,being closely watch,
and no further trouble is anticipated.
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.
