Protected Tunis.

France now possesses, by treaty
with the hey of Tunis, the right tC
occupy the regency with troops in such
a way as may seem proper to the
French government, the right to be
consulted before the hey makes addi-
tional treaties with any foreign pow
ers, the right to a supervision of the
bey's financial system, and other
rights too numerous to mention, in
Guiding the right to protect this poten-
tate in his person, state and dynasty
This is a reasonably complete result
of the little operation for the punish
ment Of the Kroumirs. If the various
parts Of the proceeding are lacking in
anything it is not vigor, for the

Crops in the south and West.

Cincinnati Commercial, 1871
The reports OF the condition Of the
growing crops in the south and west
are of more encouraging character
than could have been anticipated a
month ago. Cotton promises we'll ev-
erywhere in the south. With contin-
ued good weather the yield will be up
to the average of the best years. Win
ter wheat, too, is found to be less dam
aged by the severe winter than was
supposed, and the wet, warm weather
of the past week has brought it for
ward amazingly. The corr in south
ern ATTITUDES is up, and stands well /;
it is of good color, and luxuriant in
growth. We are ROW beyond the Pc
riod when severe frosts are to be antic-
ipated. Still, such extraordinary late
freezing as that of 1864 may happen
again; but if we escape them there
will be abundance of fruit, notwith-
standing the cutlery of winter killing.
There will be abundance of cherries,
peaches, pears, apples and small fruit,
raspberries and blackberries possibly
excepted. We do not, indeed, despair
of them but in any event the year is
likely to be crowned by as abundant
a harvest as has awarded industry in
any year past.

A Historical Carriage.

When the Princess Stephanie made
her entry into Vienna she rode with
her mother in a carriage that is his
%torical and one that has interesting
associations. Nearly twenty five years
ago, when the walls of Vienna had
not been taken down, the present en-
press Of Austria made her entry into
the city, on a like occasion in this
same carriage. 1t was built well on
toward two centuries ago at Madrid
for the Emperor Charles w., and is
after the model Of one of those that
are we'll known to European travellers
In the Trianon coach house at Yer
sailles for their associations with the
present bourbons, and particularly
with Napoleon and Josephine. Be
tween four gilded supports the body
is suspended, and upon its top there is
a border Of rich bronze work, with a
crown rising from the center and SET
with precious stones. Rich silk, gold
lace. and tagsels ornament the interior.
and Venetian glass is in the window
frames. Sixty years after the coach
was made an artist painted in the
panels allegorical representations Of
the princely virtues. Six noble cream
colored horses we're driven before thii
ancient coach on the day Stephani'
made her entry into Vienna amid Tho
ringing of many bells and the shouts
Of the people.
