THE Cans ISstr1.r TO THE French EnfERoR-
The Gar returned to Germany with the profesed OBJ
iect of accompanying the Empress his consor back to
St Petersburg. Her Imperial Majesty was staying
with her rlatons at Darmstadt There it would have
been natural to have expected the interview to have
come off Stuttgardt was however, selected on the
press plea that the Empress health did not permit of
her participation in the gaities and atgues of such
meeting. That capital having been chosen for such
reason all motive disappeared for the Empress Eugene
accompanying Louis Napoleon No sooner, however,
was the absence of that usrious lady certain than the
miserable Russian subterfuge became apparent. The
Empress of Russia then fastened to Stuttgardt and
partook of its pleasures, without involving herself in
personal recognition of the Empress Eugene This in
suit is plain and unmstakeable however plausible may
be the diplomatic excuses invented to disguise it and
the Emperor of the French WILL indeed be unworthy of
the grace and beauty which he has placed the throne
if he do not resent such imperial mpertnence and rude
ness When on the banks of the Rhine it the place
of the Car to have sought interview at Paris In
stead he sent thther his brother Constantine, who dis
gusted all France by his cOarSenesS and violence and
at Stutgardt he has had the bad taste to allow his wife
to insult the Empress of the French Well under such
circumstances might the intercourse between the two
monarch be of that formal and reserved character which
is ascrbed to it.-Daaly Nercs.

the way, but such unexpected quite salts

the other came to town forthwith and sinking his share

requisition in order to save his life The parents of the

FALL OF SUGAR.-Do not be ncredulons, reader
when we inform you that Monday last at the foot
Clear Lake. in this county, a shower of sugar candy
fell, covering large tract of country 1t covered ev
erythingeves of trees rocks and the earths surface
alike When discovered by the inhabitants the next
morning part of it was of the consistency of syrup
and the rest perfectly crysazed the candy Of the
shops Its taste is precisely similar to that Of un,v
candy. Mr.. j. Hale the Clear Lake expressman saw
it while on the ground and collected box samples
which he brought to u.s. There is no mistake about the
matter the public may learn for themselves by ns
at office. The specimens before generally if
regularly crysaized rounded at end and irregular
at the other if broken off from some surface to which
they adhered, They from onefourth to fveeighth
of inch in length pure white, and Others of
delicate pink hue. Their general appearance is that
very small staagmiteS, such have often il
caves. A similar shower occurred at Salt Lake some
years since. Naturalsts pretend to explain such phe
nOmena by saying that such saccharine showers

improbable than the fact itse-the latter being well at
tested and the former theory TOT Ignorance
