Edward King writes from Paris to tho New
York Euening Post:
There has been prepared on n gigantic scale.
for the exposition of this yenr, d department.
In which the most remarkable and curious
methods Of manufacture OF articles of luxury
and practical uso will be shown to the public.
This was attempted to some extent at our
Philadelphia fair. and proved a lasting attrac-
ton. Most of the important continental ma
tions have arranged for this display, and 1t is
10 he hoped that America will not prove to be
the only exception. The second interesting
department. will be a historical exhibition OF
ancient art and the ethnography Of peoples
foreign to Europe For this collectors have
been at work In many countries for more than
three years. and the world has yielded % very
rich harvest. The arts and industrial pro-
cnsses Of Egypt from remutest times, Of Oec-
dental Asia, Of the extreme Orient, will be
represented In these galleries. The third now
city will be the special exhibition OF anthro-
biological sciences. organized by the Paris An
thropological Society. A large number Of
museums have promised to send their collec-
tons. Russia, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Cana
da, Italy Portugal, Hungary. Austria and
Norway have sent very striking contributions.
The Chinese and Japanese commissions are
spending enormous sums of money In the de-
apartments allotted to them: the Celestial en-
pire Is especially tenterprisng. and has hon
ored France with a kind of special embassy
for the great republican festival of peace and
good will.

Decline in Prices.
IN. Y. Tribune,

:.
me Ttbtic expresses surprise at finding,
after careful comparison, that the average
decline IN prices from January |, 1877, to jan
uary /, 1878, was rs much as 10 per cent. Its
calculations are made on the basis Of New
York wholesale prices for ell articles except
meat for which, MS % safer test, the average
prices of beef cattle and hogs ut Chicago are
used and instead of making an average OF
prices, as Ii each pound OF hops were OF as
much Importance us each pound of sugar. cot
ton or beef, tho quantities Of each article en-
teiing into consumption or commerce have
been carefully estimated. 1t Is, supposed
thus estimated was actually bought at
the recorded prices Of January /, 1877,
and Of january 1, 1878, Tho resulting
aggregates 1t Is believed show more correct
. ly than any other method yet devised. the ny
gregnto effect OF the various changes In price
between the two dates. The prices of wool,
cotton and leather quite closely represent by
their variations the changes In price. OF cloth
ing generally: other manufactured articles
are approximately represented by changes In
iron, coal. lead, salt. tntpentine, lime and lin
seed oil: and the general range of farm pro-
ducts ut the North is fairly represented by
butter and cheese, and hops, and ut the South
by eetton, tobacco, rice. hemp, sugar and mo
Iasses The fisheries are also represented,
naval stores, whisky, and beside other i'm
ported articles already named, coffee and
fruits. The prices of sixty articles in 1878 be-
Ing compared with those in 1877, II appears
that the same articles and quantities which
would have cost S3,211 ,195. 900 on the first Of
January. 1877, would have cost only $2s77,-
100000 Oh the first of january, 1878. The de-
cline during 1877 was therefore about 1914 per

Russin's tenancy Of the Notifications Of Con

negro and Servia. As TO these Russian de-
Tendencies. 1t has been understood that their
new territories were defined In the armistiee,
and the Gar will, perhaps, not consent to dis.
turb that arrangement. 1t Is on this point
that Austrias protests have been most strenu

Taxation,

tween incomes, cotton, tobacco, whisky, all
over the land, the State Of Maine paid a little
upward of s2,000ooo internal revenue taxes
now she pays 100000. New England paid
$4,000 900 Of internal revenue taxes, and now
down and blasted by the ravages of war, paid
S2,oOO,00O on her industries in 1867, and now
she pays 900. The burden that New
England has thrown off from her shoulders
