Probably the oldest manuscript in the
world is the essay of Prince Ptah-hotep,
son of King Tat-kara or Tadcheres, OF
the fifth dynasty of the Kings Of Egypt,
which is known as the Prisse Papyrus.
Its date is, according to Brllgsch, about
thirty-three hundred years before the
Christian era; Mariette's longer chro'

EudcaVOr TO Give Him Pension
Eminent Fitness Of Senator EGImumdy
for His Successor.
WASHINGTON, December S. - Several
questions are under consideration in re-
gard to the resignation OF Justice Hunt.
There is a general feeling that Justice
Hunt should be placed on an equal foot
ing with thoselwhO retire on a pension un-
der the law, which requires that the men,
Der OF the court Withdrawing on his paw
shall be seventy years Of age and shall
have served on the bench ten years.
Justice Hunt lacks one OF the Qualifca.
tions. lis believed, however, that as his
disability was incurred in actiCe service in
the court, that no serious objection will
be made in Congress to retire him by
special act.
The question also arose whether he
ought TO resign, in view OF the fact that
the Democrats might not think best to
confirm Republican at present, but
might choose TO wait and see whether
the elect President next year, 1t is
found, however, that the nomination Of
Senator Edmunds would obviate all
trouble Of this kind. His eminent fitness
for the place, his standing in the Sen.
ate, and strong personal friendship OF a
number Of the most prominent Democratic
Senators, would insure his prompt con-
tirmation, even without the aid Of that
custom by which q Senator is generally
confirmed without even the iormality OF a
reference to committee.
Asa political move, some OF the Demo.
Gratis in the Senate will regard it as good
policy to have Mr.. Edmunds out of the
Senate. They regard him, as do the Re-
publicans, as, things considered, the
strongest and most valuable man on the
Republican side. lie is also the one who,
in his quiet way, gives them the most an.
nOyance and trouble. While the Repub.
licans will rejoice 10 see him on the bench
they will feel his loss in the Senate keen.

we HOtICe III lteteluNg W t9hAhb"h
(Pa,) Bpm'rthe following items of local
news:
V. Harding and Julius l.eMoyno, execu-
tom Of DR.. LeMOyne, on the 9TH instant,
sold farm Of l4T acres, in Richhili town
ship, Greene county, to W. II. Medium
phTy, at $50 per acre. 4 year or two ago
ihetarm was bought at So per acre.
This sale shows an extraordinary varia-
ton in price in year or two. The farm
must have been originally sold out under
the hammer when disposed OF at So per
acre, aud confidence in values must have
been q! dead low ebb in the estimation
OF farmers at that time. That such was
the case at that time our record OF sales
two OF three years ago fully proves. lE
November 1877, just two years ago, We
commented on the sale Of farm in Car.
roll township, Washington county, for $50
per acre, the owner Of which had been
offered 500 per acre four years previous.
We remarked at the time in regard to this
decline in price, that number Of the
farmers up that way bad, according to all
accounts, qui. legitimate farming
and turned to be sheep spectators,
Some Of them had borrowed money
by giving mortgages Oh their
farms, and had incurred debts
that bad come due on declining market
for both lands and sheep. The conse.
quenCe was that they were unable to meet
their debts, and their farms were sold out
under the hammer. At the January term
Of Washington County Court, following
the date we refer to, the Sheriff had 1876
executions in his hands, and last January
he still had II executions, whereas he will
only have q at this coming January term.
Two years ago the solvent farmers Of
Washington county were demoralized and
dismayed at the number Of farms offered
for sale. There seemed to be no object in
buying land, as thep price constantly tended
downward, and it was hard to tell where
the decline would stop. The lands sold
atforced sale made a priceior those offered
at private sale, and the consequence was
that FARMS were u drug on the market.
All this is now greatly changed. As
soon as a change was once fairly cs,ab-
ished the old prices Tor land became
the standard of value once more in the
estimation OF farmers. especially as the
crops this year have been 20 good and
the prices obtained SO sat isiactury. There.
fore they are willing to buy lands at high
prices. The change in feeling and price
illustrates q wellknOwn law oifinance, that
on declining market small number of
offerings overburrlens and dopresses u
market, which offerings, OH an advancing
market, would be readily absorbed with
out disturbing prices.
There is no doubt that the underlone Of
real estate is to-day very strong through
out the country, as is shown by the
prices obtained as compared with two or
three years ago, and unless the indica-
tons prove delusive the prices OF the COM
ing year will be firm with an advancing
tendency. The plethora OF money and
the prospects Tor good prices generally
must have buoyant effect on real estate.
