LAYARD TO TIE BRITISH MUSEUM.
From the Manchester Guardian, Dec. T.
The antiquities which Mr.. Layard lately secured
from the neighborhood OF Lake Van, in Turkish
Armenia, have just arrived at tho British Museum
They calculated to throw light the political ind
artistic relations which subsised between Assyra and
the ancient kingdom Of Van. While various Assyr
characteristics are preserved there 10 In the hands Of
the Van artists . closer loyalty and iaithfuness to
nature than are seen In any specimens Of Assyrian
art known TO the modern world Mr. Layard's
collection consists chiefly of series OF bronze arch-
tcctural ornaments whicn Of old formed part
Of the decorations OF the palace OF Of the
sovereigns Of Armenia. Their value IL enhanced by
fact that they the only relics At present dis
covered OF the art of that ancient Kingdom The in
scrptions some OF the fragments are calculated
throw light upon tho later Assyrian dynasties they
could but meet with person competent to decipher
them. Although the proper names which occur IN
them are within the skill and knowledge OF q few
cuneiorm scholars there Is no one ~ present compe
tent trustworthy rendering OF the texts. The OBJ
jects IN Mr.. Layard's collection include a curious
bronze panel, which represents mousse or palace

THE CHINESE QUESTION IN CALI
FORNIA.


Communities as well as persons become
possessed of notions and ideas, subject:
and fancies which must and viii have theil
day and cannot be shaken off Some Pa
clfic coast communities, notably the people Of
San Francisco, are possessed of the so-called
Chinese Question. AS the hard saying goes
they have got it on the brain. There have
been, these two or three years past, hard
times among all sorts of people in all parts OF
the United States. John Chinaman has been
a dweller in California this quarter of CEN
fury. When he has not been an object of de-
rision he has been an object of hatred and
aversion. The definite thing that 'Ethe eau
casian" has against him is an insurmomtable
prejudice. The indefinite things thus cher
ished are the vague grievances which are
summed up in the general name of bad luck
A man who is out of work and sees as hate
ful an object as a Chinaman well fed and
steadily employed makes JOhna stalking horse,
forthwith. The idle and the vicious, always
ready to join hue and cry, swell the chorus
OF denunciation. Misfortune looks at him
with iaundiced eyes and votes him the cause
of all the ills that flesh is heir to. Malevo-
lence and vice egg Oh the Disconnected and
the unfortunate. In the attempt to give CO.
herency to the complaint against the Chinese
it is difficult to distinguish between the voice
of the demagogue and the voice of the philan-
thropist. The popular wave like the waves
of the sea, floats whatever is tossed upon it.
We note an effort to settle this question, or if
not to settle, at least to get an expression re-
garding it, by means of bill i'll the Califor
MIA Legislature. 1t is proposed in this bill to
submit the question of Johns immigration to
the popular vote. It is to be determined by
ballot if the Caifornians like to have the Chi
nese come to their shores. The result is easily
toretold. Put it to vote in Georgia if a Mas
sachusetts carpet Dagger might come down
there and be Governor; let popular suffrage
in Lisbon determine what ought to have been
the fate of Judas 1scariot: let the Miner
Cnion decide what should be done with that
vagabond and confidence man who left Nir-
ginia between Two days with an angry mob at
lis heels the fellow who essayed q brokerage |
business in mining employments. 1t seems
to us that the vote will be an idle cne-farci- |
cal and not Of good results. There can be no |
fair test where so much passionate hatred !
dominates pubjic opinion and at best, We can |
see no practical results. ! popular election
can no more determine international rights
