Of Louis Napoleon for Lyos-The Italian Question: dc
In my last confined myself to q description Of the
in which the running all sides Of the
obong OF the Industrial Palace occupied. or
the grand central nave said nothing, but nothing
worthy deserves graphic pen than this part OF the
exhibition. IT is literally transformed into bower OF
The Imperial Horticultural Society has there taken
up its abode BY its wizard art garden pAngaise has
been created. There the vsers eye is greeted with
winding gravel walks with slopng lawns enameled with
yerdure with shrubs and trees, tall and outrageous
enough to reach the arch Of the galleries overhead with
pareres of rhodoaenrons in their richest bloom, with
beds Of beautiful azalias and innumerable, with
bubblng fountains, exquisite statues among which, hold
ing the central place Of honor, that Of the Empress
Josephine, fifty placed indeed among the flowers which
life she loved so we'll and last least, with vcfti
laon admirably managed that notwithstanding this
delicious surrounded by $50 horned beasts
here il odor which would desire to dispense
with. Never did the banners Of all nations wave over
scene move embeatic Of the Of peace The lowing
cattle the blcating sheep fastened in their picturesque
without the growing cock the chuckling hen, the
peacock's cry the squeakig porcinc, the leap
ing fish, the odoriferous pants the strains OF luscious
music ever and anon stealing the ear, the calm
and contempatvc air Of the vsers all tell Of rcpose
only known in the paths Of peaceful enterprise, and
contrast very agreeably with the state Of things
sion of the previous ambitious exhibition. Magnih
cent as was that Industrial array glorious its
timony the nestmabc value Of peace and good will
amongst men-the din Of war which ragged without the
uncertainty of what the telegraph might bring on
the morrow, whether victory defeat and blood red
roh Of slaughtered friends and foes, otenmes gave
air Of mockcry to the dizzy scene happily entirely want

Owing to the number of cattle sent-Tor besides the
bovine race Of the ovinc there about 700 animals
and upwards Of $50 pgs-t has been found necessary TO
construct stables outside Parallel with these sheds
the agricultural instruments and machines exhibited by
France and other foreign countries Near the Cours la

floor Of which is occupied by rabbits of countless variety
and the upper by poultry Of priceless value from their in

ningling their several voices with the murmers of
flashing fountain which filings up its fantastic waters in
the midst of them The exhibition is intensely popular, and
the knowledge that it only be kept open some ten
twelve days spur visitors. On Sunday which
first day ofopcnng the receipts IS 70l francs
The day before the Emperor and Empress both visited
twice the latter making use OF Prince Abcr wheel chair
which that parsonage presented her Majesty during her
visit to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, in 1855. The
Empress looked remarkably well considering the fearful
passage she has gone through Her countenance is thin
and is slightly drawn, but there is the trans
parency of complexion, the same wnsome SMILE the
the classic beauty of her epcch and which the popuacc
seem never tired OF gazing upon greater and more
deserved favoritc of the people never sat on throne
and suspect her Majesty is not the less so that she is
known to come OF no royal stock
The Emperor evidently takes the livelcst interest in
the exhibition He himself Is one Of the largest conr
butors to ii. He exhibits fine specimens Of the
Durham shorthorns, reared by himself; and what is
more important some admirable examples of the results
OF crossing that with the purest French that be
found Some Of these are not inferior TO the
original Durham stock. OF course, however, we must
wait to what be produced in the third and fourth
generations il be decided how far Improvement
has taken place To show that the taste is increasing
that yesterday proprietor from Normandy purchased
1--WE cows Of the Durham breed, at 100 guncas each.
Some pigs from Austria are very curious. They
fac smile both in color and shape Of the common
wild boar. They stand high on the hind leg, with long
pointed head, sharp ears, brstng manc, and are Of
deep brown. They lie in their pens strapped down by
the neck from which be presumed that with the
appearance they still retain something Of their former
savage nature In great contrast with these arc the Eng
sh pigs of which there beautiful specimens.
II must be understood that all the animals for stock
and not for the butcher and hence they not in that
obese state in which they ordinarily on these
casions At the same time 10 prove, suppose their
iaenng propensity. ii is astonishing to observe, even in
turn TO the genus porcinc There are some ANNALS Of
singular beauty exhibited by Mr.. Nalorbanks, Of Eng

The great desidcratum Of brcedng--namcly to have
large proportion Of flesh, and the smallest possible guam
tity Of bone-couid hardly go farther. In the way Of
sheep the varieties extraordinary The English speci
mems evidently aim flesh the foreign. fleece. The
King Of Saxony has sent some sheep which
bic small bears than the ordinary examples OF the ovine
race; and so precious Is the fleece accounted that
lest any sacrilegiOns hand should switch out
pie, they carefully clothed in green striped mancs
The lottery destined to realize the amount OF the gifts
offered to Prince Napoleon in favor Of the army OF the
East organized The capital Of the lottery is fixed
at 400 OO0, sum equal TO the estimated value or the
gifts and will be represented by 400 600 tickets Of II

magnificent objects Of art amounts TO about 1000 one

who has made the estimate, and cannot help surnsc
that the donors have been permitted TO put their own.
The lot mentioned as worth % Is the grand piano OF
H. Erard fitted up in the old harTschord style and richly
with exquisite paintings from designs
of Vatican. But II. Erard, who got it up purposcy for
the exhibition where its exposure TO sun and damp must
have seriously dcerorated IT, never dreamed of realizing

all the other lots specified.
