To the Citizens of Franklin and adjoin

Tho Count do Paris, is the grandson
of Louis Phillippe. He is tho heir of
that monarch’s oldest son, the Duke of
Orleans, who in 1866 was killed by
jumping from his carriage, the horses
of which had taken fright and were
running away in the streets of Paris.
He was a boy of tender age when the
revolution of 1848 broke out. It will
be remembered that when the mob at
tacked the Tulleries the Duchess of
Oricans, with bor two children, the
Count of Paris and the Duke of Char-
Deputies, as'^Loris
Antoinette did on a similar occasion in
August, 1792. Her beauty and hero
ism made a strong impression upon the
members, and at one time there was
danger that the idea of a republic would
lie given up, and the Duchess pro
claimed regent during the minority of
the Count dc Paris. This project was
defeated by an eloquent speech from
Lamartine, and shortly after the mob
entered the Chamber and put its mem
bers to flight. The Duchess became
separated from .iter children, and came
near losing them in the frightful tumult
which ensued.
When our civil Avar occurred, the
Count de Paris, then a young man of
twenty-three yton, caine to the United
States, and in company wjth his brother,
the Duke of Chartres, joined the staff
of general McClellan and served un
der. Ills orders in the sanguinary cam
paign of the Peninsula, in June and
July, 1862. Alter its termination,
they resigned their positions and re
turned to Europe. In 1846 a friend of
ours in this city was in Paris, and re
members on one occasion the military
display aud eclat that greeted the ap
pearance of the Count of Paris, then
the heir to the throne, as lie was held
up by his nur3e in the royal carriage.
Two years thereafter he was iu exile.
Twenty-four years had passed away,
and the same gentleman was again in
Paris. It Avas in the early days of Sep
tember, 1870, before the fatal news lind
been received of the surrender ofSedon.
The empire was apparently as strong

The Count of Paris was only a re
membrance of a former generation.—
The Prince Imperial was the heir to the
throne. Suddenly there is a popular
earthquake, consequent upon the intel
ligence from Sedon, and the Na]>olean
dynasty vanishes, as that of Oricans
did twenty-two years before. The al
most forgotten boy of 1S46 has his name
connected with an inheritance that had
so long been supposed to be lost. If

Orleans family in the asceudant, they
will owe it to their ancient and faithful
friend, M. Thiers. Forty-one years
ago this veteran statesman, who must
now he approaching his four-score years
of age, played a conspicuous part in the
intrigues that pjit the grandfather of
tho Count of Paris (Louis Phillippe)
upon the Freucli throne. He headed
the opposition in the French Chambers,
which finally culminated in the over
throw of that monarch in 1848. But
it was not the result that Thiers con
templated. He was intriguing for a
change of Ministry, to drive his old ri
val, M. Guizot, out; but the march ol
the revolution outstripped him—went
far beyond him—and there was a re
public.
During the whole career of the Em
pire he has been known to be an Or-
Jeanist, and upon no occasion has ever
been in accord with the Napolean Go-
\ GENTS FOR THE SALE OF vern,nont - In the height of the latter’s
power he warned him that if he did
not change his policy, ns the Dauphin
(Louis XVII.) did not ascend the
throne of his father (Louis XVI), as
the King of Rome was not the suc
cessor of Napolean I, nor the Count of
Chambord of Charles X, or the Count
of Paris of Louis Phillippe, so the
Prince Imperial would never wear the
.Imperial robes of his father (Napo
leon III.)
Chastened by misfortune, and ren
dered wise by experience, the Count of
Paris, if he ever assumes the direction
of French affairs, may possibly prove
the falsehood of the old adage, that
“ Bourbons learn nothing new, and
forget nothing that is old.” It would
be curious, after the intrigues of King
Louis Fulilippe, to effect the succession
to the throne of Spain in favor of his
son, the Dpj$p of Montpensier, which
was one of the causes that lost him tha
French Crown, if, twenty-two years In
ter, his grandson should acquire it by
similar intrigues by the same Duke of
Montpensier,—Cincinnati Enquirer.

French Affairs—M. Thiers.
The German press consider the elec
tion of Grevy as an Orleanist triumph
and the general tenor of the news fore
shadows a restoration of the Orleans
dynasty. The American press, how
ever, insists that Grevy is a life-long
and ardent Republican. He was an
active combatant on the side of the
people in the revolutions of 1830 and
1848—the former driving out the Bour
bons and the latter the Orleans family;
and as a member of the Constituent
Assembly in 1848 and the Cor
islatif subsequently, ' 1
ded as one of the most able and skillful
among the Democratic leaders.
The accession of Thiers, however, as
Chief of the Provisional Government,
is a significant event for the Orleanists.
Thiers has been a steady adherent of
the Orleanist family, and in the events
of the last six months, has impressed
himself upon the world as a man of
remarkable integrity and moral cour
age. All our readers will remember
the furious popular clamor, as well as
the Imperialistic pressure, brought to
bear against M. Thiers last August for
his strenuous opposition to the war.
Few meu ever encountered a greater
storm of denunciation. The Paris mob
cursed him as a traitor, and every ex
pression of indignity and reprobation
was heaped upon his name and charac
ter. Now he is almost unanimously
designated by the French National As
sembly to lead in the arduous task of
peace and re-organization. Such is the
reward of the man who dares to con
front popular passion and error in the
interest of his country. He passes
through the fire, but the scent of it
does not long attach to his garments.
But Thiers is still true to his own
character. The French newspapers are
foolishly clamoring against the cession
to Germany of any portion of the soil of
France, niid yet this is one sine qua non
of peace. We say, therefore, foolisldy,
because France cannot help herself.—
She is completely at the mercy of Ger
many and must make the best terms
she can. In the fury of the popular
clamor against this concession, the Na
tional Assembly seeks to devolve on
Thiers alone the responsibility and the
odium of this inevitable cession. No,
says Thiers, you shall not evade what
is in the clear line of your duty. It
belongs to you to determine what price
you will pay for peace, and you must
authorise the cession. In these days
of a prevalent moral timidity and a ser
vile cowering to popular opinion a man
like Thiers stands almost alone amid
the politicians of the time.

we have no wish to supplement the
magnetic influence which Cape dia
monds will exert by giving any addi
tional momentum to the movements of
diamond-seekers, it may not be improp
er to furnish some practical hints for
thdr guidance when they shall have
arrived at their destination.
There is little doubt that diamonds
exist in many places as yet unknown,
or where their presence is unsuspected.
Gold is discovered readily in aurifer
ous regions even by those who are in
experienced at the work, but the dia
mond is far less easy of detection. It is
very difficult for the unpracticed eye
to distinguish it in its natural condi
tion from crystals of quartz or topaz.
Qne, therefore, who has no experience
intiia#nqnd'peeking may see, and even
hrmdTe, such gems without recognizing
them or even suspecting their value.—
It was in consequence of the geological
knowledge of Humboldt that the dia
mond regions of the Ural Mountains,
in Russia, were first discovered. At
his suggestion the gold-washers were
directed to search for diamonds before
any had been found or any suspicion
raised of their existence. From that
time to the present the finding of dia
monds there has become frequent.—
The color of the gems constitutes the
main difficulty in detecting their pres
ence, They, in fact, are of various
shades and hues, as yellow, brown,
green, blue, and rose-red, and very
closely resemble the common gravel
by which they are surrounded. The
___ at all

seeker identical in appearance with
transparent quartz crystals.
In Brazil, where great numbers of
diamonds, chiefly of small size, have
been discovered, the method of search
ing for them is to wash the sands of
certain rivers in a manner precisely
similar to that employed in the gold
fields of Australia, namely, by the aid
of prospecting-pans. A shovelful of
earth is thrown into the pan, which is
then immerced in water and gently
moved about The result is, that the
contents are converted into a kind of
thick muddy slush, from which the
stones are picked out by the hand. As
the washing goes on, the dirt and sand
are gradually disposed of, and the pan
Contains apparently only about a pint
ofthin’mod. Great caution is now ob
served, and ultimately there remains
only a small quantity of sand. The
diamonds and the particles of gold, if
haply they are present, sink, by virtue
of their great specific gravity, to the
bottom, and are selected and removed
by the practiced eye and hand of the
operator.
But how shall the gem9 he detected
by one who has had no experience, and
who in a jeweller’s shop could not sep
arate them from quartz or French
paste? The difficulty can only be over
come by testing such stones as may be
suspected to be precious. Let these
he preserved until the day’s washing is
ver, and then tried by the very sure
operation of attempting to cut with
their sharp corners glass, crystal, or
quartz. When they are too minute to
be held between the finger and thumb,
the specimens may be pressed into the
end of a stick of hard wood, and run
along the surface of a piece of window-
glasa A diamond will, in such case,
make its mark, and cause, too, a ready
fracture of the glass in the line over
which it has traveled. Tested in a
similar way upon a crystal of quartz,
the diamond will make such an impres
sion as no one crystal can leave upon
another. But a yet more certain and
peculiar characteristic of the diamond
lies in the form of its crystals. The
sapphire and the zircon will readily cut
glass and scratch quartz, but they have
not the curved edges of the diamond.
In small crystals, this peculiarity can
only be observed, by using a magnify-
ingglass; but it is invariably present
in the true gem, whether it be large
or small It is, perhaps, rare to find a
diamond with four curvilinear faces;
but such a circumstance places its
identity beyond the domain of doubt.
Another form of the diamond is that of
the octahedron, or eight-sided, with the
edges replaced by interrupted, narrow,
convex surfaces. Such interrupted,

The price, it will thus be seen, in
creases in a multiple proportion to the

rough diamond fit to be polished is
about £2 per cent One of two carats
is worth, therefore, 2 x 2 = 4 x 2
= £8 ; one of 4 carats, 4 x 4 = 16

both size and color, or water, as it is
termed.
-When diamonds are cut and polish
ed, they are known to jewerlera as bril

pending on the form and number of
the artificial faces. Diamond-cutting
is chiefly done in Holland on wheels of
iron or copper, and with the agency of
the dust of inferior diamonds known
as “ diamond-dust.”
A set diamond may be tested by
placing wax on its back. The lustre
of a true gem will not be affected by
this operation, while the spurious bril

It will he evident, there!
large amount of food may be saved by
warm stabling in cold weather and
consequently a much greater secretion
of milk secured. ■' " ”
The great mass of the community
are no doubt ignorant in regard to the
great difference in the quality of milk
made by the different kinds of feed.—
Milk made from a cow fed upon tur
nips and buck-wheat bran or shorts,
is totally unfit for a young child, or its
mother, and there is no doubt that the
mortality among children is often caused
by improper food of which the milk is
made. The physician knows the im
portance of having the milk from a
new milch cow assigned for ayoung
child; the why and whereford very
likely he doeaaotknow. He probably
dote not know that the uulk
farrow cow is on«
dications of genuineness.
As to the profitableness of the crop,
I will state the price varies with supply
and demand. In the fall of, and to
the first of June, 1869, it was worth,
in Chicago, $400 per ton, and varied
from $250 to that price. My crop in
1870 was sold at $160 per ton in At
lanta, and yielded about 306 bushels
of seed on 16 acres. The seed I have
fed to mules, cows, hogs and poultry,
and all seem fond of it; and while I do
not think them exceedingly nutritions,
I find them valuable as an auxiliary
and enables mo to diversify my food.
The Bame may be said of the fodder. I
will just state, that while several of my
neigbors have had cholera among
their hogs and fowls, mine have kept
well and in fine condition, and I think
the slightly astringent property con
tained, may bo somewhat a preven-
tive.
I have been asked if it exhausts
land. I know of no crop worth
making, that has to be cultivated, but
what does; but should think, from the
vast amount of stalk left, and the fact
that it is cut before thoroughly matur
ing, that it does not exhaust as much
as corn.—S. B. Robson in Rural South

Best Food for Cows to Produce Milk.
A capable correspondent of the Ger

There is no doubt a difference in the
quality of milk In different cows, some

The milk from the same cows may be

tometer, up to a hundred and fifteen
degrees, the highest number being the
best, and such as is produced by the
heaviest feed.

feed, such as corn, wheat and rye

not as well adapted to the wants of the
child, nor does the mother understand
that the cause of the child’s illness b
owing to some improper food eaten by
the cow. If I were desirous of mak

ber of children, I would feed ths cows
on equal parte (in pounds) of oats,
wheat-bran and Indian corn and tho

Uutil we become accustomed to try
ing experiments, we shall not know for
a certainty the quantity and quality of
food that will, when fed to a lot of
cows, produce the greatest amount of
really good milk for a given amoupt of
