FoRNEY, who was present at the distri-
button of prizes atthe Exposition, gives
the following personal sketches OF the
royal lions of the spectacle: "rhe En-
Leror spoke with considerable ANNA
nation aud French gesticuIation. He
looked we'll, though with the pallor OF
his Italian ancestry, and spoke like a
man in capital health. His nose is
very prominent. and his eyes when
lighted up lose the glassiness of which
so much has been said. He is of me-
dunn hight, brown hair, alert in his
movements and exceedingly graceful.
Louis Napoleon will be sixty on the
10th of April, next year; and as com =
pared him with Prince Napo leon, who
is fourteen years younger, he looked as
if destined to enjoy more of the coming
time than his cousin, the son OF Jerome.
The Empress who was forty-one on the
9Th OF May, Is very elegant woman .,
with a countenance eminenJly inter
estinE and serene. She carries her
age well. The Prince Imperial who
was eleven on the 10Th of March last,
is what the girls would call sweet lit
tie fellow, with the olive complexion
and face Of AN Italian, black hair and
black eyes, aud very graceful in
his movements. When one of
the Trades Society handed
the Emperor a medal for some act of
Kindness it fell on the floor. creating
some confusion. The petit Prince and
future ruler ran from his seat, picked
up the token, and handed 1t to his
aIher, in the midst of rounds of ap.
plause' He wore red pantaloOns and
blank velvet frock coat. Prince Ma
poleOn was a startling likeness of his
great uncle, and as he stood directly
before me thought mad never seen a
more impressive figure. He has grown
obese, and his face wears that settled
and gloomy look peculiar to the First
Consul. He takes great interest in the
progress OF the substantial arts, and is
known to be more democratic than
the Emperor; but then, as the French
| shrewdl have it, the ruler Is always
the conservative-it is the candidate
only who can afford to be radical The
Sultan is tine-looking person-short
stature, portly presence, full black
beard and clear eye-and was dress

THE enormous consumption of baked
beans in Boston every Sabbath is Illus
trated by The fact that one baker at the
South End, who sells these edibles by
the quart, already cooked, disposed OF
no less than six bushels Of baked beans
on Sunday morning, or about zoo
quarts, at sixteen cents a quart, and
this in vicinity where cooking stoves
are abundant, and many people bAke

of firecrackers is prohibited at the hub.

RECENTLY a debate in Parliament


occurred on the question OF the repre-
sentatiou of'minorities, in which the
affairs of the United States were dis
cussed, and parallel attempted TO be
drawn between our system and that OF
Great Britain. There were three prin-
pal speakers, Mr.. Bright, Mr.. Lowe,
and Mr.. Lefevre. The latter gentle
man opened the debate, and spoke
highly of the greatness of our land,
but made most astonishing blunder
in his figures. He said:
when he was in that country last
autumn, the most Violent political con-
test was being fought. The action OF the
President had excited great indigna-
ton in the Republican party, and in the
elections for Congress the utmost eXer-
tions were made by both parties. The
Republican party carried all before
them; they returned seVenty-elHht oil
the Representatives. although when the
aggregate vote WIS counted, II proved
that the Democratic party had ObtBined
tlgO- thirds of the ICh0Le number Of roles.
This, of course, will at once be seen
to he absurd. We do not know how the
gentleman got his ideas, butt is imPos-
sible for any party having seven-eighths
of the representatives to be in minori-
ty on the total vote. Mr.. Bright. who
has a correct conception of America,
stated:
"And as to what the honorable men,
| Der for Plymouth, who ought TO know
something about America, has said OF
this mode OF election giving strength TO
the Executive Government, venture
| TO saw that il thesystem OF representing
minorities according TO the proposition
now before the House, had been estnb-
| Iished, and had been in existence dur
| ing the late war, the United States Gov
eminent never could have been borne
up, as they were, by the entire people.
and never would have possessed power
sufficient to suppress the desperate re-
beIliun in the Southern States. Every
| American knows that well, and every
Euglishman ought to know it,"
In the truth of this we will all concuri
for had the sympathizing rebel minor
ity of the North been represented, as
the "cumulative" system desires, the
Union would to. day have been thing
of the past. Mr.. Lowe. however claPp-
ed the climax of falsehood when he
stated that
"My honorable friend, the member
/ for Reading, said that majority In
America had never been known to
abuse its power. / will take one in
stance, which Is just as good as thou
sand. Certain things became necessary
for the Republican party which could
not be carried without majority OF TWO
thirds of Congress. Every body knows
that msnosrS WhO were. Innocent
men were expelled from the L=glsla-
lure in order to obtain the necessary
Republican majority"
This is utterly and palpably false, as
all Americans of both parties know.
We fear that the general kno Wedge OF
the English people of American affairs,
is about as vague as that they possess
OF the King OF the Sandwich Islands.

Foreign countries, when the tide OF

orally sneered at it aud affected to be-
lieve that the people who came here
were only portion of their population
that they were anxious to be rid of.
England especially treated it in this
way, and seemed to think the entire

blessing. But now there is alarm shown
in England at the extent OF this emf
