speech of the Emperor.
GENTLEMEN: AFTER an interval of twelve
wears | come for the second time to dis
tribute rewards to those who most distin-
guished themselves in those works which
enrich nations, embellish life and soften
manners. The posts of antiquity sung the
praises of the great games in which various
nations assembled to contend with Greece
for prizes in the race and other sports.
| What would they say to-day, were they
present at these Olympice games-of the
whole world, in which nations of the earth
W fnrnl
seem to launch themselves forth simulta-
neously or an infinite career of progress, to-
wards an ideal which has been inCessantly
approached without ever being attained.
From all parts of the earth have come
representatives of science, art and indus
try, who have fastened to vie with each
other. and we may say peoples and kings
have both come to do honor to the efforts
| of labor, and crown them by their pres
ence with ideas of conciliation and peace.
| Indeed, in these great assemblies, which
appear to have no other object than ma
terial interest, moral sentiment always
dsengages itself from competition of intel
| ligence, a sentiment of accord, and the ma
tions thus drawing near learn to know and
esteem each other.
Hatreds were eXtinguished and truth
become more evident that the prosperity
of each country contributes to the pros
perity of all.
The exhibition of 1857 may justly be
termed universal, for it unites the elements
of all riches. Side by side with the latest
improvements in modern artappear the pro-
ducts of the remotest ages. So they rep
resent at one and the same time the genius
of all ages and nations. 1t is universal, for
| in addition to the marvels which Luxum-
burg brings for the few, it displays also
that demanded by the necessities of the
many.
The interests of the laboring classes never
