from the audactty of these acts that the Nihil-

series Of Investigations he has at last caught
the interesting monad which has given 80
much trouble to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and

Paris Is the place OF all the world for the
profitable sale Of literary and artistic treas
ures. The library Of Ambrose Firmin Didot
has just been sold there, the sale occupying
SIX days This collection was of almost I'M
rfvalled richness In rare manuscripts, and the
collectors OF Paris contended for these treas
ures with an eagerness that fully sustains
their reputation as the first OF modern bfbliO-
philes. Some very large prices were paid. A
manuscript Graduate ct Sacramentarum, z
executed In the twelfth century, In O Suabian
abbey, fetched 5000. For q book OF Hours
which once belonged to Busy Rabnt1n, con-
sisting OF only thirty-seven leaves, OF which
eight contained miniature portraits, $1,000 was
paid. a. book OF "Of1ices OF the Holy Virgin, z
which once belonged to q Queen Of Austria,
fetched $500. A folio manuscript of the
twelfth century, containing commentary on
the Apocalypse and the book of Daniel, In an
old binding, went for $1,000. For manuscript
Psalm-book, bearing the date OF 1105-so says
Paris paper, though the date may
well be questioned fetched 5000. The
National Library paid $4,000 for fragment
of book Of the Gospels, executed In the
middle OF the eleventh century. "Simul-
achres de la Mort" with original designs In
Ink by Hans Holbein, sold for $4,000. The
climax OF the sale was reached on the last
day, when Missal which once belonged to
Charles VI, and from him descended to Henry
VS. Kate, and then to Henry VIII, was sold
for $15, 300. This sum lacks but little Of
equaling the highest price ever paid for q
book. The entire proceeds Of the sale were
100000, making 1t one Of the most valuable
collections ever sold.

January 8th 1879.
 Ed. EnQuirer. er.-Consderabl alarm and not little anxiety has been developed by the ad- vent of the almond eyes" on our shores Many are the hard words heaped on their poor heads And all for what Simply and solely for the reason that they can and do live cheap CT than ourselves Is this dgniied position for us to assume? Should we not heap coals on our own heads instead Is it not time that we learned from somebody or some nation the secret of living more economically? The French have very good understanding of this question; while the English who know econo ny scarcely better han ourselves, are suffering the most dreadful distress. To avert the troubles of England, should we not rather try to emulate some of the good qualities of our brother Chinaman and regard it as blessing that so valuable and profitable an example has been sent to us
 Some high authority has said the Old Testa- ment came to bring the blessing of prosperity, and the New Testament came to bring the blessing of diversity to humanity. Admitting this to be correct interpretation is it not pos sible that a. Third Testament is becoming nec- essary to bring the happy mean and that it is coming to us in this so greatly abused and despised John" ? It is the very spirit of our constitution that this New World shall be an asylum for the oppressed of all nations, then where IS cur boasted generosity when we try to shut out the oriental :? Also when we re- fleet that it has always and only been some child of the East that has been good enough to receive inspiration from above should we not all the mroe hail rather with joy and gladness the coming into our midst of so favored peo- pie? The Irish German and Norwegian are good but now that we have something still better, let us not show our want of apprecia- tion by trying to turn it back almost before it is fairly landed. If the orient can beat the occident, then let us not grumble but go to work and find where we ourselves are lacking If our brother John" is giving wholesome check to some of our headlong rushing while it may be exceedingly unpalatable,. it may prove to be the very blessing of which we are just at present the most in need. In running railroads through the country, many hand some farm has to suffer, but the public must be benefited. though here and there a private individual is injured; 80, those living in imme- diate contact with these unamericanized Chi nese, may find it a little unpleasant, but the whole country will be benefited Let the eastern light continue to shine upon us
