This Exhibition will be gotten up by the Metro
politan Mechanics Institute but the design is not
10 limit the sphere of It's operations and influence
10 any narrower bounds than the entire Union.
A minute programme of the plan adopted has
been issued, aud copies of il will be promptly
transmitted 10 all persons making application 10
the undersigned for them He will also cheerfully
respond 10 the inquiries of all persons interested
in matters connected with this enterprise.
Publishers Of newspapers and other periodicals

bition of the Metropolitan Mechanics Institute,
Washington, d. c." one more sets of their
publications, for suitable period prior 10 the
opening of the Exhibition. The numbers thus for
warded shall be carefully arranged and displayed,

lation Of editor, reporter, or correspondent 10 the

try, 10 give place TO this brief Communication; and

years, at least twenty millions of dollars, for in
that time there will be railroads from Chicago,
touching the Mississippi, opposite Missouri, at
half d dozen different points, and then the ne
gro stealers Of Chicago will carry ON their busi.
ness a hundred fold more largely than they
have ever done heretofore.
Let the people of Missouri think of these
things, and when they come here again, let it
be with few companies Of regular troops, to
enforce their rights, capture their property,
break up the negro-stealing association, by ar
resting their leaders, and to enforce the su-
premacy Of the laws. If they do not come well
backed by troops, / am convinced that it is
useless to come at all, unless they want to get
into trouble and endanger and sacrifice their
lives. Yours truly,
A SUBSCRIBER.

ITEMS OF NEWS.
From the Philadelphia North American.

From the Philadelphia North American.
AMERICANS ABRoAD-We find two items in our
exchanges which illustrate the progress Of our
country. The one is an imitation from the Lon
don Daily News, that the Americans are the best
customers now for old English books, 10 which il is
added that large Libraries, both public and private
are rapidly formed in the United States, of old
editions Of English authors. The other occurs in
private letter 10 New York paper, which in
forms us that at the present time there is food of
Americans constantly pouring in upon the French
capital that the best apartments in the city are de-
voted TO their use, as they readily pay for them
prices which terrify the sojourners from other ma
lions; that The English have long since coded 10
them the precedence in this respect; and that, as
the rich Russian families which formerly COM
peted with them, now, OF course, shut out. 1t
seems as if Americans would soon be paramount
among foreigners in Paris.

VALUE OF A MANUscRIPT.--The original
manuscript of Gray's Elegy was lately sold at
auction in London. There was really "scene"
in the auction room. Imagine stranger en-.
tering in the midst of sale Of some rusty
looking old books. The auctioneer produces
too small hdlfsheets Of paper, written over,
torn and mutilated. He calls ii "a most inter.
esting article" and apologies for its condition.
Pickering bids fl0l Rodds, Foss, Thorpe,
Bohn, Holway, and some few amatures quietly
remark, twelve, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, and
so on, till there is pause at sirtythree poundsl
The hammer strikes.
H,Holdl" says Mr.. Foss.
at is mine," says the amateur.
"No, / bid sixty-6ve in time.n
"Then bid seventy"
"Seventy-fve," says Mr.. Foss; and fves are
repeated again, until the two bits Of paper are
knocked down amidst general cheer, to Payen
and Foss, for one hundred pounds sterlingi On
these bits or paper are written the first drafts
Of the Elegy in a country church yard, by
Thomas Gray, including FIVE verses which we're
omitted in publication, and with the poets in.
terlinear corrections and alterations certainly
an Interesting article" several persons sup
posed it would call forth ten pound note,
perhaps even twenty.
