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.

The empire was apparently as strong gYcAferrfcttWwduikr ’WhffiwBiliitoii-by its triumphs. 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.

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.

Now, 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 and are to tie 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, Farm Miscellany.

At the house of the editor of a periodical for which Guizot wrote, he often met a young lady named Pauline de Meulan, who, like him, supported herself by her pen. Mademoiselle de Meulan fell' ill; she was the main stay of her mother and in ters, and during her forced abstinence from literary labor the whole family were in danger of falling into distress.

The im migration has been principally of males, but latterly the statistics show a mark ed increase of females. In 1867 there were only eight females in the whole country, and these eight all at Boston and Charleston. In 1868, 46 more came, in 1869, 974, and in 1870, 1, 116.

Turn it down about four feet from the ground, and this facilitates the cutting (it does not matter about the twist of the straw, for it all becomes straight when threshed), Then cut, leaving about four to six inches of stalk to the straw. If the corn matures very uniformly, a man walking backward can turn it down one over another, making a table. Then an ordinary shoe knife will do the work, with one hand onthe straw, and a push forward with the knife.

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.
