TROPHIES FROM THE SOUTH.
But while dwelling upon the South we noted the
admiration ana interest which attended the i'm
perial examination OF the trophy Of cotton which
stands at the entrance OF the west gate. Cotton
in all FORMS gracefully built up and festooned
ana twined into cunning shapes, forms this
trophy-cotton from Mobile, New Orleans, st.
LOUIS Lee county, MISSISSIPPI; LinnGus, Missouri,
ana Memphis; notably cotton plant in full bloom,
furnished by negro Of Charleston, who had been
a slave but who brought hither this tree free
man to deck the trophy which awaits an Emperor.
Here also we noted silk cOcoOns and expressions
OF moss and hemp and twine and works from the
South adding to the trophy. and showing that war;
however 1t may have channelled and furrowed the
fair fields OF these noble Southern States, did not
deaden the lie that dwet in their soil the en-.
ergy and genius of the men who cultivate their
acres. All this profoundly interested Francis
Joseph, who stood for some time examining the
trOphy--the banner, so 1t seemed, that proclaimed
to the world that cotton was again kng-a king no
less because these, her tributes and harvests and
tokens of strength, are the work Of freemen and
not OF slaves. Considering all things the South
should be proud of her share in this American de.
partment II all States had done as well as Lousi'
ana ana Missouri many American cheeks would not
have blushed, as in following the Emperor to-day
they saw what America had done and knew how
much more grandy and proudly she could do.
PHILADELPHIA.
1t was about this time that the Emperor noted
the maps OF Philadelphia on large scale, with sta
tstlcs OF manufacture, dwelling houses and pOpu'

them well enough at home. There was Philadelphia

that the city has taken new life and swept its
masses Of neat ana home-like houses away of to
Germantown and Frankfort, Darby and Chestnut
Hill and the ancient dominion OF Kingsessng.
This map of Philadelphia is one OF the most striking
features in the Exhibition, and the Emperor looked
at 1t with the curiosity OF one not disdaining nstruc
