Curious If True.

A foreign newspaper, which devotes
much attention attention to tho mo-
tives and movements of tho Empress
Carlotta, relates that whom she was on
tho eve Of leaving Europe for Mexico,
where she expected to reign and
whence she did not expect to return,
she paid visit Co her grandmother,
tho old cx-Qucen Amolie, widow Of
Louis Philippe. at Claromont, and
dutifully asked her ancient Majesty to
give her blessing-wl,ich was done,
with great deal ofsolomnity, many
tears and several pious exclamations.
She bule adieu to hcr uncles, the
Princes of Orleans, but observing that
the Duo d. Aumale, to whom she was
most attached, was silent, if not sad,
gently rallied him on his fcticencc.
{ He answered, "Well, my, fair niece,
what shall / say to your You wish
to occupy throne. You have it. I
pray God that you may keep it--but
in our family that isnot tho CUSTOM"
It is not, on either side Of tho Orleans
house. Louis Philippe died in exile.
His eldest son was killed by fall out
Of a chariot, and his lioir, now Count

of ever rcigning In France. Queen
Mario Amelic was Neapolitan prin-
cess, and Francis H., sex-King Of Ma
pies, who is cousin to her children, Is
now so poor that he can no longer af-
ford to livesin Rome, where he is ox-
|pected to maintain a sort Of royal
state. When he quilted Naples, in
1860, he bore with him a very largo
amount of private property, but he

but fruiNess defense of Gacta. With

DEpTns OF THE SEA. "A French
journal says hat the soundings effected
with reference to the new trans Atlantic
cable have cllnbled comparison to be
made Of tho different depths Of the sea.
Generally speaking, they are not of any
great depth in the ncighborhood Of cont.
nents thus tho Baltic, between Germa.
ny and Sweden, is only 100 feet deep
and the AdrIatic, between Venice and
Trieste, l3O feet. The greatest depth
ofthe channel between France and Eng.
land does not exceed 800 feet, willie
to the southwest of Ireland, where the
sen is open, the depth is more than 2, 900
feet. The seas to The South Of Europe
arc much deeper than those is the inte-
rlor. In the narrowest parts of the
Straits OF Gibraltar the depth is only
900 feet, while little more to tho
East it is 5000 feet. On the coast of
Spain the depth Is nearly 5000 feet.

How TO Avon TIE CoTroN TAX
The last Radical Congress, with
view to further burden tho cotton
planter, laid tax of throe cents per
pound on tho staple, which mus be
paid before cotton leaves the cn''ec-
tion district. But the tax is 1t
chargeablo unless the cotton is au..
forward for sale or shipment. Now,
tho way to save the tax is to mauutac-
turc cotton where it is grown, There
will be double advantage in this, not
only in the tax of SIS per balo of 800
pound saved to the producer, but tho
manufactured article viii bring him
twice the money that tho raw material
will. by forming association in every
country, the planters have thus the OPP
portun!ty of doing themselves as we'll
as the country, the greatest scrvico,
Lot them profit by tho opportunity.
We may add to these wise words of
the Georgia Citizens that every manu-
facture We recently met on tho Border
echoed similar advisory expressions.
The largest cloth manufacturer in
Maryland, q man Of pure Southern
blood and lineage, said ''rell tho
people of the South that manufactur-
| ing thoir own staples is tho proper
, way to bo rcvcngcd upon the Yankees.
Nothing will bring tho New England
or to his senses so amazingly no other
vindication is SO worthy Of great and
magnanimous people. They can boat
! lis in abuse and trickery lot us beat
them in arts, science, craftsmanship
and honest craft. Nothing ploasos
your Yankee SO as give him a chance
of ribaldry or ridioule. Be still
yigilant-industrious- -self-sustainings
these are winning trumps."

The Indianapolis Herald publishes .
list Of prominent citizens, office-holds
ers and others, who were engaged in
tho recent disgraceful riot III that
city, by which tho President was pre-
vented from speaking. 1t boldly
charges that the riot was melted in or.
der to cover tho assassination Of Mr..
johnson. One pistol shot evidently
aimed,at him, struok within "a few
feet Of his head. The evidence Of a
youth is given to tho offect.that he
was paid five dollars to hurl stone at
the President, and further proof is adj
duccd that desperate characters were
brought from others places to engage
in tho riot. Threats were openly
made for several days before tho visit
Of the President that he should not
leave Indianapolis alive. Such arc
the legitimate fruits Of radicalism,

The Proposed National Mining Law.
VIRGINIA, July I'd, 1866.

EDITOR News: l am glad to notice that
you express disapprobation Of the new
mining law, proposed in Congress and
passed the Senate. Its enactment will
not only be destructive of legitimate pros
pecting enterprises; but it will throw
every mining company in this county into
Judge Baldwin's Court, burdening them
with ruinous litigation. This, "capital.
lists will learn TO their sorrow, if the bill
(as seems likely becomes a law. Take
this bill in addition to a former mining
law passed through the advocacy of Sena-
tor Stewart. and the railroad grants to
the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and
very little of either mineral or agricultural
land in Nevada will escape the Speculators'
and monopolists' grab. Yours,
MINER,

Intelligence of the Horse and Dog.

A horse came home without a driver,
but instead of going directly to the stable,
Ineighed, and exhibited other indications
Iot disquietude. This, at first excited no
attention; but, as these manifestations con-
Itinued and his master did not appear, ap-
iprehensions were excited, and a person
sent in search of him. He was found two
miles off, lying insensible in consequence
of a severe blow upon.the head which he
had received by falling from his cart. By
no animal has this sentiment been so re-
markably evinced as the dog. A boy was
fatally i n INJURED and carried to a hospital.
His little dog followed him thither, and
being prevented from entering it lay down
Iat the gate watching with wishful eyes ev-
cry one that went in, as if imploring adj
mittance. Though constantly repulsed
by the attendants he never left the spot
by night or by day, and died at his post
even before his master.
An ingenious continuance has been made
by two Parisians, They blow a small
globe within a decanter or claret Jug.
This globe, which has its opening in the
side of the larger vessel, serves to hold a
freezing mixture to cool wine or water in
summer, and in winter may be filed with
warm water to take the chill off.
