TIE IRON GROWN OF LOMBARDY.

The emblem of Lombard sovereignty,
which has been handed over by the En-
peror of Austria to the King of Italy, in
pursuance of the treaty for the ~cession of
the Lombardo-V Venetian provinces, is COM
monty called "the iron crown" 1t does,
in fact, contain an iron hoop or %circlet,
fixed inside, which was anciently believed
to have been made of the nails of Christ's
cross; but the crown is principally com
posed, like other regalia, of gold, set with
precious stones, as shown in our Illustra-
ton. 1t was first used at the beginning
of the seventh century, by AgiluIf, who
was chosen King of the Lombards on the
death of King Antharic, by favour of
Queen Theodelinda, daughter of Garibal-
dus, King Of Bavaria. The matrimonial
adventures of King AgiIulf are familiar
to the readers of the Decameron. The
Lombard crown was worn by Charlie
magne two centuries after that date, and

The approaching nuptials of Princess
Dagmar of Denmark, the younger sister
of her Royal Highness the Princess of
Wales, with the Clare witch, or eldest
surviving son and heir of the Emperor of
Russia (whose brother, the late Care
witch, was also betrothed to Princess
Dagmar), will be celebrated about the
middle of November. His Royal High
ness the Prince of Wales, is TO be present,
but the time is too lale in the year for
the Princess of Wales to undertake the
journey from England to Russia. Prin-
cess Dagmar arrived at ST. Petersburg a
month ago. She was met at Cronstadt
by the Imperial family of Russia on board
the s%team-yacht Alexandria, TO which her
Royal Highncss was transferred from
the Danish ship Schleswig, the guns of
the fortress and naval squadron friug a
grand salute and bands Of music playing
the Danish National Hymn. Having been
welcomed by the Emperor and Empress,
the Czarewitch, and the other members
of the Imperial House, the Princess was
conveyed, by a short passage of less than
one hour, from Cronstadt to Peterhoff, the
landing-place, arriving there about moo

ANNEXATION OF NASSAU TO
PRUSSIA.

The ceremony of proclaiming the an
nexation of the duchy Of Nassau to the
kingdom Of Prussia was performed on
Monday, the 8th inst. in the Schiller Platz,
at Wisebaden. The place has received
that name since the Schiller centenary
festival of November, 1860, when a lin
den-tree was planted there, with patri-
otto speeches and songs, to commemor-
ale the birthday of the German poet.
The Government Offices occupy the
buildings on one side of the square. Here,
as shown in our Illustration, Il tribune
was erected, covered with black and
white cloth, for the ceremony of the an
nexation; it was surmounted by the flags
, 1866-11-27

of Prussia and Nassau, with the Prussian
eagle. The soldiers of the seth Regiment
formed a hollow square in the centre of
which the magistrates, the clergy, the
schoolmasters, and other official persons
were ranged before the tribune. The Land
drath Won Diest took his stand beneath
the Prussian eagle and read the Kings
proclamation, after which the Royal
standard was hoisted on the roof of the
Government offices, and saluted by the
firing of 1OI guns and by strains of mill
tary music. A grand parade of the
troops afterwards took place in the

We dp not believe it always ehargca-

of the failure to receive our Columbia
exchanges is due to the neglect Of the

Labor and Capital.

The phase of labor and capital is
now changed in the South. It is a
very important query how the capital
of the South shall be turned to best
account. Between Agricultarc and
Manufacture tho issues lies. Some
believe the interest of the South now
lies i'll an energetic development of her
resources for manufacture. Others
think that her agricultural resources
arc tho most promising. The great
touchstonc Of all questions Of political
economy is, will it pay Between
agriculture and manufacture there
can hardly be at present any issue.
If the South manufacture, she must
do it in competition with the North
and with England. 1t is we'll known
shat tho North has demanded protcc-
tive tariff to enable her to compete
with foreign countries. 1t is impossi-
bic for the South to compete with the
North in manufactures, for the simple
reason that her population is too
sparse. When the same reason is an.
piled to laG inability to compete with
Wis stronger, because her
population is far less in proportion to
the area than that of Great Britain.
The consequence is that England capi-
tal employs labor at its own price,
while in this coaatry, aud especially
i'll tho South, as far as manufactures is
concerned, labor demands it's wages,
and capital is obliged to acccde to it.
Labor is from 6 to 8 times higher in
the South than it is in England, when
directed to manufacture, while it is

The Cotton Tax.

II is significant fact that an earn
est and sincere &ppcal arises froM New
York for the repeal Of tax which
falls Immediately upon tho South.
The New York Chamber Of Commerce
have again shown our public rul, r,
and lawmakers tho dclcterious effects
of imposingso heavy u tax as 3 cents
a pounl OH the cotton produced in tho
United States.
Before the war the pcr cont Of cot
ton furnished the manufactures of
England was about 81. Now it is
about 10 per cent. Every additional
cent added to the tax upon the pro-
duction Of cotton, is bonus to those
countries outside Of the Union which
produce cotton. But why should we
of the South urge upon fanatic Con-
Hrossmcn the evil result Of their lcgis-
lation ! 1t is better perhaps to !e,
them run the full length of their ca
price, and then when thoy have found
that burdcnsomc tax upon Southern
productions is the same thing upon
themselves, they will awake to the
true position Of affairs.
