A Speedy Bargain.

Paris is unusually gay. y great number q.
foreigners have already arrived and arc out
shining the rest of the world in the brilliant
cxtravaganccs SO much in vogue here. One of
these new arrivals, Prince Nariskinc, posscssor
of one of the great fortunes which have caused
tho Russian nobility to be received through
Europe us the modern representatives of Ala,l-
dins and Fortunatuscs, happening to dine
few evenings since with friend who has built
for himself a small but most elegant aud charm
ing hotel, fitted up with all the appliances Of
fashionable luxury was struck by the form Of
the surtout, in silver, which occupied the cen
trc Of the table. Having expressed his adnli-
ration of it as a work Of art, he was surprised
TO- find that his host seemed to hold it. in slight
esteem "If you care SO little about it why
not sell it to me ?" said Prince Nariskinc
''Thc centre piece matches all the rest Of
Of the silver" returned Count d., ''and can't
sell it to you unless you buy the rest OF the
service"

spondcd the Prince
"But you want the silver, you must take
tho china also, said the Count.

piled the Prince.

the tables and chairs" said the Count.

Who composed the following description of

A nation would bc truly happy, if it were
governed by no other laws than those of this
blessed book

It contains everything nccdful to be known
or done.
1t affords copy for king, and rule for a
subject
1t gives instruction to senate, authority
and direction to n magistrate.
1t cautions witness, requires an impartial
verdict of a jury, and furnishes the judge with
his sentence. ff'
It sets the husband as lord of the household,
and wife as mistress of the tablc-tclls him
how to. rule and her how to manage.
It entails honor to parents, aud cnjons
obedience to children. ~
1t prcscribes and limits the way of the soycr-
cign, the rule Of the ruler, and the authority
OF the master-commands tho subjectsto honor,
and the servants to obey, and promises the pro-
toction ofthc Almighty to all that walk by it:
rules
ut gives directions for weddings and burials.
lit points out n faithful and eternal guardian
to'thc departing husband and fathcr-tclls him
With whom to leave his fatherless children,
and in whom his widow is to trust-and prom
iscs q father to the former, and husband to
tho latter .t.f
1t teaches % manto set his house in order,
and how to make his will; it appoints dowry
for his wife. and entails tho right of the first
born % n and shows how the younger branches shall
be left
1t defends the right of all, and reveals ven

1t is n brief recital Of all that is to conc.
1t settles all matters in debate, resolves all
doubts, and cases the mind and conscience of
MI their scruplcs.
Itrcveals tho only living and true God, and
shows the way to him, and sets aside ali other
gods, and describes the vanity of them, and all
that trnst in such; in Short it is book of

A QUESTION UNDER THE BANKRUPT LAW
The Baltimore american says that there
seems to be diversity of opinion among
judges, lawyers, and commissioners in
bankruptcy as to when the fifty per cent.
clause of the bankrupt law went or will GO
into effect, and adds that the question will
probably be submitted to Chief Justice
CHASE for decision. A glance at the law
itself will show that there is no ground
upon which to base such doubt. In Sec
tion SO it is provided:
"And in all proceedings in bankruptcy
" commenced after one gear from the time
"this act shall 90 into operation no dis
" charge shall be granted to debtor
"whose assets do not pay fifty per centum
"of the claims against his estate, unless
"the assent, in writing, of a majority III
"number and value of his creditors VINO
I" have proved their claims is flied IN the
"case at or before the time OF. application
" for discharge

GENERAL, GRANTS PowERs.-A Wash
ington telegram in a New York paper in
Inmates that if General GRANT now pos
sessed authority equal to that of the dis,
trict commanders some of the recent re,
markable action Of Generals ORD and
HANCOCK would be revised in accordance
with the true spirit Of the acts, and calls
the attention Of Congress to the propriety
of investing him with such authority. This
call will pass UNDECIDED. GRANT does not
desire such powers to be conferred upon
him, and Congress is afraid to entrust him
with them. GRANT smokes his cigar in
silence while Congress rides its negro
hobby with a tremendous clatter of
tongues, yet both GRANT and Congress are
afraid Of the negroes of the South. They
live in constant dread of acts Of folly and
faulty on the part Of SAMBc which will
consign the Radical party at an early day
to that infamy which certainly awaits it in
the end.

Mr.. SHERMAN's FINANCIAL SCHEME
The New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger has been at some pains to
ascertain the views Of not few Of the
leading financial and business minds OF
New York city in reference to the SHER-
MAN funding bill, and the result indicates
that it not only meets with no favor, but
that it is considered one of the crudest and
least expedient of all the financial mea-
sures that have recently been proposed.
He adds that Mr.. McCULLOCH is opposed
to it as a whole. We foresaw, and stated,
that such a bill must be defeated-if for
no other reason-because it proposed to
allow the South share Of the money col
]ected in the shape Of a tax upon the
bonds. We haven't particle of faith in
the scheme for any other reason or pur-
pose. We repeat that upon politico-eco-
nomical grounds It's entirely indefensible ;
that it was intended to flank the repudia-
tors and the greenbackers by a trick and
that BEAST BUTLER and THAD. STEVENS
could never have been deceived by the
fallacies of Mr.. SHERMAN, who also knows
as well as anybody else that his scheme
was merely intended to give the bond
holders chance to escape taxation by
taking of in their bids for the new loan the
amount by which the dreaded tax would
probably depreciate their bonds.

The New England Dinner-fsnAee
Greatness-A Caustfc ReView oi
Beecher's Speech. CON.
Rennett,s New York Herald sometimes
strikes home at the Yankee, as witness Inc
following truthful reference to that aoolhl-
nable character: aeftf7gTz
"self. assertion is the disease of the New
England type of civilization; ana tne an
nnal carnival of Yankee glorlhcatlon IN,
dulped at the New England dinner, anu
which occurred on Monday nlghc, olo
not fall behind its predecessors Oh 1ormer
wears in windy laudation OF an tnas JUG
Down Easter calls his own, rlghtiully OF
wronpfully. We were told that the Yam
kee ran to brains, believed in the supre-
macy of brain, and had so developed II as
~ breed 6 a race of thinkers not second 70
tho Atbenian.' We may agree with the
oretor that these Down East thinkers are
not second to the Athenian.' They are
not-nor third, neither; nor fourth nor
Gftietb. They are, indeed, so faraway from
tbe intallect which they assume as tnelr
TYNE that the richest of New England think
ers will palm off as fine banquet the
ornmbs he pliers from an Athenian feast.
We are told that the Purltans 0eleVeo
from the time they landed on flymontn
Rock that the most valuable part OF man
az God created him was his brains yel
the world knows well that under these
same men there was no crime so great as
for a man to think and express his thoughts,
and that he did it at the risk of having his
tonoue torn from his mouth with hot
nincbers-not that hot ones would do it
better than cold, but the heat seemed to
give q fine vehemence Of horror to the act.
Boosters are always those who have least
that they may rightly boast on, and it is
thus with BoastiDg, selfglorifying New
England. Stripped of all that it has stolen
from Others and spoiled in attempted
adaptation, New England is the poorest OF
all lands on the face of the earth in every
sphere of intellectual labor. 1t boasts
itself in literature without a single work OF
imagination that can by any stretch of cour-
tesy be called great. In art it has Trum-
bull and his pictures, and the Bunker bill
Monument, built on plan that will enable
future generations to utilize it as distil-
ler's fue. And this is brain. In the num-
Der of public men of the present day New
England contributes such prodigies ofmen-
tai endowment as Sumner, Beecher, Wen
dell Phillips, Lloyd Garrison, and Neal
Dow-all noisy enough, no doubt; but
where is the vein of greatness On what
possible theory can it be claimed that any
one of them is great otherwise than as a
nuisance9 New England is fertile in
treuble-in fanatical endeavors to force its
small notions on others-and this it mis-
takes for greatness because sometimes it
has terrible results. Such terrible results
of New England fanaticsm are now to be
seen throughout the South, where whole
people is reduced to starvation and they
who glorify Yankee fame would better
further it just now if they would modestly
hold their tongues and spend their super
huous energy in the effort to feed the vic
tins of their tremendous errors"

. THE OTHER SIDE.-We have in another
article alluded to the powerful attractions
which Alaska presents to emigrants. The
following may be read in the same con.
nection:
"The Russian purchase threatens to
cost US, in addition to the S7,000,OO0, the
loss of about four companies of United
States troops. Dispatches have been re-
ceived at the War Office within the last
few days stating that the soldiers sent to
take possession of the icebergs are in a
most destitute condition; that no prepare
tons whatever had been made for their
reception, and that the prospect is that
they will be frozen to death or manned for
life before supplies can reach them. 1t
appears that there is no way now to re-
lieve them, and that all access to our
northern paradise is barred by the eternal
SHOWS and ice. General Rousseau, who
commanded the expedition, left for Wash
ington Territory some time ago."

The CoDFIsHERS IN DANGER.--It is said
that the fisheries on the coast of Alaska
are likely to interfere seriously with the
" New England cod, halibut, and mackerel
fisheries" This is not bad news. The

England is made to mind only her own bu-
slness. The best part of this matter is
