The French Worlds Fair.

Salem IL. wales, Esq, OF this city, one
.of the editors and proprietors of the Scien-
tific American, has received from Governor
Seymour the Appointment of Commissioner to
represent the State of New York at the great
Worlds exhibition which opens in Paris,
May l, 1855.
This appointment will give very general
satisfaction. Perhaps no individual could
have been selected whose abilities better
qualify him for the discharge of duty at
once so interesting and important. We
shall look for Mr.. Wales'S official repor! with
interest.
The Palais d'Industrie, which is now in
course of completion, covers a space of ten
acres. In addition TO this, the French gov
ernment are erecting a supplementary build
ing on the banks of the Seine, which will
OCCUPY a space of about seven acres, and
present frontage to the river of about three
Quarters of mile in length The govern
ment is at present also engaged in complet-
ing the Louvre, the new portion of the
building is to be occupied by the works of
living artists, consisting of paintings, stat
uary, drawings, photographs, &c. With
respect to the principal building itself, it is
not such as was erected in London, the one
at Sydenham, or the one in this city; it is
of the CoriDthian order, built entirely of
stone, and is to be covered in with glass
roof of three circular compartments. A
popularity in the construction of the build
ing is, that all the staircases are formed out
side, so that the inside presents the appear
ance of a great unobstructed square The
building is erected by joint stock company,
who are to have its use for thirty years, when
it reverts to the government The whole
affair is under government patronage, and is
strictly national.
With the ingenuity, activity, enterprise,
and artistic resources for which Frenchmen
are proverbial, we shall be disappointed if
this great affair does not outstrip in interest
the British exhibition in 1851.
We trust that our citizens will not be
backward in competing for the French prizes.
The sons of old Gaul made noble display
in our Crystal Palace, and we ought to re-
turn the compliment SO far as we cam
Americans are highly esteemed in France,
and our countrymen may rest assured of
cordial, kind, and honorable treatment there
better, probably, than they received from
the managers of the New York Exhibition.

WESTWARD THE STAR OF EMPIRE TAKES
ITS WAY.-Every day for the last two weeks
trains of emigrant wagons, bound for the
West, have been passing through our streets.
Sometimes half dozen or more wagons,
freighted with families and light furniture,
make up the train. The emigrants are chief
ly farmers from eastern Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, moving away from the crowded set
room and cheaper lands in the new. Some
will locate in Indiana; more will find a
home in the fertile prairies of Illinois; and
others 60 still further towards the setting
sun. to uproot the forests and cultivate the
virgin soil Of Iowa and Wisconsin.--[Day-

I57In The Potosi Republicans notice
of the Governors Message, the editor
justly says:
We do not like his treatment of the
Prohibitory Liquor Law question. His
duty upon this and all other matters that
pertain to the interest of the State. is
plainly expressed in the Constitution.
1t says 80 he shall communicate to the
legislature, at every session, the condi-
ton OF the State, and recommend such
matters to them for their consideration,
as he may deem expedient.H Now. this
as matter which many consider para
mount to all others, and will not desist
agltatlng until some decisive action is
taken. So important is it, that the last
legislature refused to act upon it in any
shape, and so referred it to the peonle.
and referred it for the consideration Of
the present legislature. A respectable
majority Of the people have expressed
themselves through the ballot-box. in ia
vor Of its adoption. The Governor
knew all this, and as the Chief Magis-
trate of the State, having its aveat to
guard and promote, we should have been
much better pleased TO have had him
given manly disapproval Of the whole
measure, and his reasons therefor. or
recommended its adoption in the same
cogent aud forcible manner that he has
other matters, perhaps, of less impor-
lance. But it may be, he did not deem
1t expedient. The fact is, this Maine
Law, has, sooner or later, to be & tried
on by the State of Wisconsin, wheth-

FARMING. IN THE MINES.
There hangs over some mems eyes

There hangs over some mems eyes
shady mystery about the commonesi con-
lcerns Ct life. Some things, We admit,
cannot be seen till after they have trans
pred. but most Of The eyolutions which
promote profit or bring loss may be read
without glasses. The momentary effects
lof California, on the country at large,
are seen tolerably clear, yet the real et-
fleets are scarcely in the bud, and we
would be laughed at TO open theln.---
There are matters worthy of an every
day thought, as of the greatest moment,
and here are sons of them: Until late
period, say 1913, the mising force con-
suined all the surplus Of farmers. mere
was no surplus to spare for transports
ltion elsewhere. Since about that time
agriculture has gone ahead Of mining,
and there has been an excess over what
could be consumed in the mines. Mi
ming has never recovered that proper
ton of invested labor over farming that
lit bore previous TO l94S; SO there is still
an annual surplus Of farm products
Mining labor is worth more than farm
labor, because it yields more for the
same labor invested. Hence, farmers
cannot afford to hire, nor will laborers
work at farming at what would be call
led fair rates. The day laborers says
''if yon don't pay me $l,25 day for
pioughing, III go and dig" The far
mer can't afford to pay that, SO his faith
full laborer goes to mining.
We thought the trouble was about o.
yer in this latter respect,-wages being
SO high all over the east, but mineral ha-
wing raised to almost double what it was,
mining is still ahead, and rewards labo-
rcrs better perhaps than any other work.
From every Indication, mineral will hold
up to what it is, and may be higher; and
1t is almost as plain TO be seen that more
labor is 10 be devoted to mining than ev-
er-the profits being above what they
ever were before.
You are ready to ask, what is to be-
come of farming. We answer it will be
carried on more profitably than before.
Though farmers cannot afford To hire
help, they will make more, because ev-
cry man will have to do his own work,
and that is the only true way to make
agriculture profitable,-certainly there
Is no other way to enjoy it. Farming
never has been, and never can be rur-
sued profitably in the mines with hired
help; and we believe il never ought to
be. God Almighty never intended that
the hireling should enjoy all the plea
sures afforded by the farm. He intend
ed that the profit and pleasure of filling
the earth should be reserved for the pro-
pl ietor, husbandmaE and laborer, these
three being one.
