PARIS, May 81.
The Chamber of Deputies has examined the
official returns Of the vote Of the 9th of May,
and the Pleblscite, when ''decomposed.' as
the French say, representatives." 7,33o,l42;
''No," l.35S,S25; "Null" 1895. These are
the figures which go down to history. The
Deputies cheered the verdict with uiue rEm-
pereur, the Irreconcilables with uiue Ia nation;
in which the Imperlalists might heartily join.
The resultwin be formally presented to his
Majesty with every solemnity, when Napoleon
will deliver an ''utterance;' now, but second
ary, since his Cabinet does this part of the
governing Napoleon has seven friends for
one foe; and that huge voting machine, the
nation, will be content to grind Pa,tant pouria

THE MINIsTRY-DuC DE GRAMMoNT.
The ministry has been so occupied, accept
ing the designations Of some Of its members,
and appointing successors, that the march OF
the projected reforms Is slow. The new For
eign Minister, the Duke de Grammont, Is the
strongest OF the new crutches received by the
Cabinet He is populars belongs to the old
aristocracy, and Is a conscientious dlplomatist,
his only fault being that he speaks his mind
He Is a man of giant statue, compared with
the dwarf1sh dimensions OF his colleagues
He has seeded from the Legtimist party, but
this is not cardinal crime among u people
where

Tenets with books, and principles with times"
His first entry into public life was the severe
punishment he gave to two laborers who
shouted, "Down with the rich,' as bis car
riage ratified along. He descended, challenged
his insulters to box, and showed how the rich
can In that way, also, put down the poor. AS
Ambassador at Vienna he was much esteemed,
but then the Empress Elizabeth has thrown

PRIM-EUGESIE.
Prim is going to Vichy. Possibly as he floats

making the two ends meet Of the national ac-

the sooner the better. Anything definite Is
better than the most glorious uncertainty. The
Empress still continues to manifest her aver

edly longs for lodge In some vast wilderness.
Her latest act of charity is the furnishing the
poor girls OF France with their confirmation

of its intrinsic value.
ANOTHER FRENCH TRAGEDY.
Nice has just supplied us with terrible
drama. A young gentleman, poor, but of re-
spectacle position, was in love with the accom-
plished daughter Of Partisan librarian. Their
means, they considered, were not sufficient to
enable them to support, when married, ,th at
state of life In Which it had pleased God to call
them. They resolved to die, and in death not

Nice with q bottle OF lalldanum. cane sword
and revolver, they selected romantic nook

awakening in the middle Of the night, it was
resolved to end the pain by the revolver. The
Young lady begged to be shot, but not to dis
figure her features. 1t was done, but she
lived to tell the tale. Her lover, after firing
upon her, shot himself in the heart.
THE RAPpEL AND THE SOLDIERS.
The Rappel is one of the several rabid organs
of the opposition. Having stated that the
military were compelled to vote us the colo
nes wished-which the 10000 votes against
the Empire, by the soldiers, but too seriously
proves the contrary-a corporal waited upon
the editor to demand such cal,lmny to be
withdrawn. The brave soldier was unceremo-
niously pushed out Of the office, receiving at
parting kick
'Just in the place where honor's lodged,
AS wise philosophers have judged.
He re-entered, seized some three of the edi-
torial stafl. and threw them ont of the window,
adding somewhat, ''That it was 4 way we have

MINOR MATTERS.
Cooperative societies are very general in
France, and are daily extending. The latest

provision of wine and brandy, cheap, plenti-

Even in begging there is novelty. a vaga-
