still claim TO be democrats in principle and that the
present dynasty Of France had its origin and nnds
its strength in the democratic element The I'm

OF devotedness TO the great principles OF reform
and progress which 80 emphatically charasterize
the present day, ard under the shadow Of that
proud monument to modern greatness and modern
civilization which he mas himself reared in the
Champs klys,es, is AZ this moment engaged on
plan for the reorganization Of his court on the
model Of that of LOUIS XVI the last Of the Bour-
bon kings before the revolution of 1919, and the
last representative Of those brilliant buloOneres of
royalty which it was hoped had been repudiated
forever at the court of Frauce. Instead OF the
present organization Of the households of the En-
perOr and Empress, az army Of nObly-bOrn cham
berlsiDs and pages are TO be attached to their i'm
yerial persouages and are to perform the interior
and exterior duties now performed by ladies' and
gentlemen bearing various titles, and by domes'ics

cient courts viii perform, among other duties,

berIains will precede their Msiesties in procession

and left and allowing their Majesties to pass in
and be seated, they will take their places walters
upon the imperial party II will be- OF course, the
favored few of these gentlemen, the most nobly-
born, who will be designated for the very private
and particular functions just mentioned. Tie
pages, fewer in number than the chamberlains,
and selected by their high birth and beauty of per
son, will perform the duty of walking behind their
Majosties iD professions, to carry, either actually
or allegoIically, his Majeity's hat and cane, and
her Maiestys train, and such other little functions
MS are historically attributed to that Office. Ga
state occasions the chamberlsins viii precede, the
pages follow, the imperial party--duties performed
81 this moment by domestics and the cent gardes.
Whether or not this new measure has any con
nection with the long loOkeifOr announcement
which the official journal makes this morning in
regard to the " interesting condition" Of her
Majesty the Empress is not clear; but as the
court editor ventures upon the assertion that the
Joy of the people will be great when they read
the announcement in question, and since the event
is destined to furnish "a new guaranty of the
= stability of our institutions" it ia fair to pre-
sume that the proposed court follies had their
origin in the new guaranty Of stability For
the next four months 10 come the entire existence
of the Prince Jerome and his ambitious son Napo-
leon will be absorbed in agony Of ieer aud hope
IN regard 10 the sex of this promised guaranty"
The situation is interesting in many points Of
view and we do not think that the JOY predicted
by the MoHiteR5 VIII reach much beyond the Office

THE TRIBUNE, in reproducing article from
the Paris Constitutional two weeks since, in
regard to q trial of reaping machines in France,
and which attributes the victory to the machine OF
Many, takes occasion to say that the Article is
published as an act Of justice to the above machine.
inasmuch as contrary account from its Paris
correspondent had already been published in its
columns. A reference 70 dates would readily have
shown the error of this statement The trial
which the Constitutional mentions took place the
I'd of August; the trial which your correspondent
mentions, the l4th Of the same month. The frst
trial was imperfect in many respects, and was no,
decided in favor of the Many machine by the
Jurors present The article in question was
written by an individual interested in the rntrOduc-
tiOn Of the machine in France, aud his article had
the desired effect the machine has been well sold
The grand final trial made before the Prince Ma
poleon and large concourse of scientific men,
fairer trial, and was the one described by your
Mccormick machine on that occasion was clears
legitimate for the very good reason that at that trial
esery one Of hs principal machines mads as good
fss"e and as good ,oork 'kcy had erer
been knOirE 10 do before, and MceOrmirk'S ma
Shise beat It's tastes. competitor sse.third. Your
correspondent deemed this, as will no doubt every
one else, the true hest Of superiority. Ills account
was not based upon any partisan feeling, but from
the fact stated above Ii is Just that ne should
add that the official statements published at tue
time in the organ of the Government as well Sc
those published in the agricultural and scientific
journals, sustain TO the letter the account nc pub
hshed in The TRIBUNE and the statements here
