LOSSES ON THE REVISED TESTAMENT.

The publication and sale of the
revised New Testament was tinan-
cial failure, and the publishing
houses of the East were heavy
losers. At first, when the enthusi-
asm ran high over the revised edi-
ton, premium figures were required,
and in many instances they were
paid because the trade believed that
the demand was permanent. The
demand ceased one week after the
curiosity died out, and three months
after the appearance of the edition
the demand had dwindled to nothing.
In New York city wagon-load after
wagon-load was carted into Levitt's
auction-house Oh Broadway, and 81
volumes sold for nine cents. The
same thing was done at Macy &
Co.'s, where from $4,000 to 5000
copies were sold at from ten to
eighteen cents each. These copies
were bought usually by dealers, who
are expecting u revival some of these
days. Dodd, Mead q Co. is the
only American firm to come out
even on their issues. The New
York branch house of Thomas Nell
son & Sons, London, through which
the authorized edition was issued in
America, still retain big supply of
the revision on hand. 1t is estima-
ted that over 100000 have been
lost in dead stock.-Philadel,hjo

H0NCKONC AND THE CHINESE.

The English city of Hongkong,
where the commercial capital of
Great Britain is concentrated for
purposes of trade with China, APP
pears TO be only English in name.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from longkong,
aflirms that the Chinese have en-
crossed all the avenues of business
in that city. The compradore is the
middleman, or agent, who deals with
his own countrymen on behalf OF
foreign merchants. He becomes rich
on his percentages, although the
business firm may become impover-
ished. No foreigner can do bust
ness without the intervention of a
compradore. 1t was well known
that this custom obtained in exclu-
sively Chinese cities, but as to Hong
kong, an English city, the inference
was that quite II different system
prevailed. Should any one dcsirous
of throwing off this incubus of white
slavery attempt TO carry on his trade
through European assistants entirely,
or with white servants hired without
these Chinese middlemen, or attempt
to purchase directly from Chinese
dealers, he would be thwarted at
every step, and if he were not in
deed ruined, would find life too
grievous to be borne. Either he
could hire no Chinese servants at
all, or he would have TO pay them
double salaries. If he attempted TO
purchase in the open market he
would have to pay exorbitant prices
for the poorest article. The Chinese
tailor, shoemaker, cabinet-makcr
and other craftsmen absorb all the
mechanical trades. In the large
city of Hongkong in which there are
about $4,000 Europeans, or for.
eigners, there is but one foreign
merchant tailor. What the Chinese
are doing in Ilongkong they sought
to do in San Francisco. They have
captured the English city.
To hasten their own discontinue,
the English colonists are educating
the Chinese in their public schools
and fitting them to hold the positions
of clerks, bookkeepers and other
places that require intelligence and
certain amount of education. The
result will be that, speaking English
fluently and easily acquiring the
necessary amount of commercial
knowledge, they will soon fill the
counting-rooms of IIongkong, as
their untaught countrymen have
filled the workshops, city trades and
retail avenues of city business. The
type-setting in the foreign iob-print-
ing and newspaper offices in Hong
kong, as well as elsewhere in China,
is all done by native compositors,
with the exception of the hybrid
emigrants from Macao, by courtesy
called Portuguese, a few of whom
act as foremen and perhaps do a
share of the work. The type setter
is necessarily above the ordinary
artisan in intelligence. The business
of book-binding, closely related to
that of printing, is all done by
Chinese workmen, even when, as is
sometimes the case, the establish
ment is the property of foreigners.
But most of the bookbinderies where
all kinds of blank-b0oks are made
and not few of the printing offices
also-are owned and entirely oper-
ated by Chinese, even when those
doing the work have the most slen-
der knowledge of pidiin English
