The Paris Exposition.

PARIS, April 1.-The Universal EXPOSE
ton was formally opened this morning.
The day was observed as a holiday by the
entire population. At 10 oclOck the doors
were opened, and by the time the Emperor
arrived 5000 persons were inside, and at
least 100000 had assembled outside. Good
policemen were on duty, and the order was
excellent. Every carriage in Paris seems
to have been employed. The grounds
around and the building is in a lamentable
state of confusion Not one tenth of the
grounds are open and arranged. The French
department is III the best order, and next to
that the Russian, and then the English All
the other departments are not ready. The
American departments is one of the most
incomplete. The commissioners, exhibitors
and Americans generally are very much
dissatisfied with Commissioner BeckwOrth,
who appears to be totally inefficient. The
only department IN operation IS a restaurant
but even here the Americans are behindhand.
The only goods which have been injured in
the voyage are American
A brilliant company, blazing with dia-
monds, and orders, filed the Central Hall,
and to welcome them the Emperor and En-
press came precisely at two. They drove
up long avenue covered with canopy of
green and gold, decorated with flags and
lined with soldiers, and alighted at a splendid
pavilion especially built for them. The En-
peror Immediately reappeared and gave his
arm to the Empress, and proceeded on foot
to the main door, preceded by the Chamber
lain's party, and passed around the entire
GALLERY, nearly mile long
The Emperor spoke few words to each
Commissioner, but at the American depart
ment he stopped with the Empress and
bowed to the crowd, who were cheering
heartily. At one clock the invited guests
assembled at the art gallery, where America
made fine show, many fine pictures being
exhibited, and we'll hung; but the English
display was much greater; but when the
guests gathered, however, the superiority of
the American ladies was conceded They
are the bellies of the day.
The Exposition will not be ready until
May One-half the space is allotted to
France, and that is not complete The Eng
lish are very strong in machinery, beating
the Americans, in that department There
is nothing like the number of strangers
present that was expected. The number of
Americans is not much greater than is usual
every season. Prices have gone up fearfully
and the hotels have raised their charges fifty
per cent It is useless to come to see the
Exposition before May

Grain Crop as. Cotton Crop IN tie South.
1t is computed that half of the cotton crop
of the past year has already gone to the mar
ket, and has produced to the cotton growers
a hundred and thirty-fve millions of dollars.
Some weeks ago the New Orleans papers
reckoned the amOuat at over a hundred mil
lions, and considerably quantities Of cotton
have come forward since The cotton-grow-
ing States have received and appropriated
the avails Of half the crop, and it is even
said that the remainder will hardly suffice to
meet the demands of creditors for supplies
heretofore received, and for pay for supplies
which they will need before another grain
or cotton crop can be produced. The ayails
of the cotton crop of the past season viii
leave little money In the South. Money is
there very scarce, and likely so to be while
the South continues to depend upon the
West for corn flour, and bacon, and npon
the East for many articles Of manufacture
that might be made at home. The cotton
crop of the current year, though the season
may be more favorable than the last. will not
as is thought exceed that of the past year.
Cotton growing viii be checked by want of
capital to pay labor and purchase supplies.
In this state Of the case, it is the obvious
policy Of the cotton planters to direct their
attention more earnestly than heretofore to
the production of grain and provisions.
Preparation for cotton culture must be made
in this month or earlier, but it is reported
from various quarters that no increased
breadth of land is to be put in cotton, and
many plantations worked last season have
been abandoned.
The great resource Of the South is there
fore to be found in an application Of larger
/ force to the cultivation of corn. his crop,
which may be matured in August will afford
! great relief It's cultivation requires less
labor than that of cotton, rice or sugar, and
it is the material not only for bread, but for
animal food The value of a crop Of corn

/ even of an increased crop of cotton at pre-

I'VE learn from reliable sources that the
work of recruiting for the Tennessee State
Guards is going on quite briskly in many Of
the counties. Owing to the interruption to
communication, by floods, through many
portions Of the State, news comes IL slowly,

that in the counties Of Marshall aud Carroll

SAC0UES.

There is very little change to note in
sacques or mantillas, and the patterns now
worn will no doubt be in vogue during the
spring and summer The coat sleeve sacque
now worn is a favorite with the fair sex, al
though the flowing sleeve is gaining consid-
cradle popularity Some are made half coat
sleeve and half flowing, that is a flowing
sleeve over a coat sleeve, the former reach
ing as far as the elbow; this is pretty and
somewhat novel The styles of the peplum
basque are very numerous, and some Of them
very attractive.
There is little to be noted in regard to
children's dress, except that the gay colors
now worn will prevail Taken altogether,
the change in ladies dress is not so radical
in its character as usual, and what changes
have been made are apparently wise ones f;
the decrease of crinoline, and the increase
in the size of bOnnets for instance.

Spring Fashions What to Wear and
How to Wear It.

Spring Eashf0us-What TO Wear ana
How to Wear It.
The ladies are now very busily engaged
discussing the spring fashions, and the store
windows and show cases on Broadway, and
other principal thoroughfares are filed with
new hats and boDnets, cloaks and dresses,
and flowers and trimmings-in fact all the
articles which feminine eyes love TO gaze
upon.
BoNNETs.
The new spring bonnets are very similar
in shape to the gypsy in front and sides,
but have quite a large crown, and curtains
of about one inch In width. They are very
diminutiYe, bat much more like a bonnet as
is a bonnet than the rimless head coverings
worn at present They are made of straw
Leghorn and Grape, and, as usual, trimmed
various WAYS Bugies and ornaments are
much used for trimming.
DRESSES.
The short dresses now in vogue will be
worn throughout the season for outdoor
walking-thatis, short dress with pettieoat
to match. Some of these dresses are very
short indeed and cut 81 very fantastic
shapes. Many hang in lon9s points from The
waist, wide apart, and showing a large
amount Of petticoa6. These dresses require
short sacques to be worn with them and the
latter are frequently made of the same ma
terials. Shawls are not considered graceful,
being too heavy in appearance. For in
doors balls, parties, etc, the gored dress
viii be worn, made plain at the top, or with
pleats at the back, according to the taste Of
the wearer. For the house the skirt will be
made very wide at the bottom, with long
train. Light colored silks, saffron-hued de-
LANES and poplins, now fill the windows OF
the stores, and as usual will be much worn.
All dresses will be trimmed very elabo-
rately, and bugle trimmings viii be very
popular.

The Amenities of Politics.

Foreigners laugh at political idiosyncra-
cies But what DO we for foreigners. These
United States are a world within themselves.
self-sustaining, confident, defiant The munic-
ipal election next month is a mere bacatelle
The ides of September confer fat and succulent
Offices that endure for two and four years. Many
condemn politics because of the bitterness and
acerbitv they engender. So they do. But then
they have their amenities. We have encounter
ed sour-faced old fellow upon our thorough
fare If he has saiuted Us at all it has been in
manner the gruffest as much as to say, ! bow
to YOU so as not to be called to an account for Il
refusal to recognize you on the public streets.
1t was but yesterday morning We met this an
cient curmudgeon His vinegar and wrinkled
countenance wreathed in aottest smiles. He
seized us by both palms and poured upon
world of inquiries about our health and pvos-
poets in most dulcet and purring tones. Zach
word he uttered was a caress. And we tore
ourselves away from his cleaving embrace with
a rank impression that he was lUuatic or had
just joined the Methodist church. We were
wrong. The venerable institution had embarked
upon the stormy OF politics He is a candi
date for Office His sudden poitcness is a sop to
Cerberus. A close-fsted fellow about town, has
been indebted to US for some length of time in
small amount, and we badgered him therefore to
his and our nausea. The truth is We have need
ed the coin for family purposes. The other day
our debtor met US with pleasant viSage and adj
dressed US by our baptismal appelation. He
spoke in humble and subdued manner of the old
Indebtedness and laid the fault Of his remissness
in payment on his wretched memory. Our
pleasant interview terminated in faithful set
tlement We were puzzled with this eccentric
exhibition of commercial integrity, and were
only relieved upon hearing that our former
debtor proposes serving this needy community
as State Legislator. There is great deal Of
arrogant manner and assumption of superio.
dignity among the legal profession. Who but
they? But of late they have become as gentle
as doves and meek as serpents They mingle
freely and unostentatiously among their fellow
citizens, drink with them and inquire with much
earnestness in regard to the health Of their
wives and legitimate offspring They arc seen
caressing little children at the street corners,
and donating them homeopathic quantities Of
confectionery Wherefore this change Of de-
meanor? We have queried the matter to the
ascertainment that they thirst and pant fer Of
fee. and would win ballots from the male pc
rents of the greasy little ones they fondlc. and
so it is that politics convert stones into sympa
thizing humanities. Politics may fever the pub
lie mind and give birth to animosities, but then
they exert some softening iniuences.-L0s in
