When Frenchmen Laugh. Parisian who, during the few years of residence in New York, has observed American sensitiveness to any criticism from foreigners, says that this reminds nf i difference between Frenchmen blDl 01 .X7kr, on V.mtlictimai, nraGermunor any. other foreigner," he jirkcdj WUUIittS utcu iu x- lauvc, vuiica renia their KiaiJuei&t U1 lut" j v iuu" domestie habits, or their fashions, or their architecture, or their ways of life, we do not take offeuce at the book, but w;e ridi cule and laugh at the author of it. --There !re bon mots about the poor author in the journals; there are caricatures: We sneer in good tun at his ignorance of France and our customs. We have pleasant times him. and he puts all Paris in an agree ahle humor. It' tie bo a person of conse- vhiph will make the habitues of a cafe chaotant uappy tor au uour. uvi a uer maa get obfuscated over French cookery; we speak of the horrible things that are eaten ia Germany. Let an Englishman do it; we advise him to devour his raw ros bifof the canibals. They do not like French esprit; that is because they are very stupid. They do not admire Paris; we remind them of such gross places as Hamburg or Manchester. We do not get angry at them, but mock them in the spirit of gayety. Thus they are mortified. We Frenchmen know that everything in France is the best in the world, and do not care for the ignorant words of incompetent barbarians. France is sufficient for her self, and the soul of France is Paris, which all the world tries to imitate, at which wo are amused. 'But the. Americans, unlike the French, are very sensitive as to the things said about thein by the foreigners who scribble books. This is evidence of their imma turity, their lack of self-respect their con sciousness that . they can be successfully assailed, their apprehension that they must have weaknesses whieh are visible to strangers, or their knowledge that the boasting in which they sometimes indulge is mere bombast. " l.is two generations since Mrs. Trollope rfiiculed the Ameri cans in her jolly book, yet when I uttered her name one day to a Puritan of Boston he got enraged at her memory. This is foolishness in 'the Americans, who have a fine country, a satisfactory population, manners that are not intolerable, and some curious French cookery perpetrated by Germans. The Americans must attain to the equilibiium of mind which character ises tho Frenchmen; they must take no more heed than Frenchmen take of what the foreigners think of them; they must laugh at every word uttered by their for eign critics. Above all, they must refrain from reading the piquant books of their assailants. The French would not read a foreign book which depreciated France. Yet Americans are always ready to buy English books which slur their country and people." After Thirteen Hundred Years. we dramatize him in a comedy Atlanta Constitution.) European scholars have been very much puzzled of late over a discovery in Asia Minor of a handsome volume of the four gospels, dating as far back as the sixth century. After a lapse of nearly thirteen hundred years the volume is still in a splendid state of preservation. Not only is the copy complete iu every detail, but such is the character of its embellishment that a more expensive and unique volume is not to be found in existence. Though gorgeously bound in stout ma terial aad rendered proof against the de structive agencies of time, at. least for a period beyond which few relics have sur vived, the volume is still more curious perhaps in the character of its written contents. The pages, which are made of the finest quality of vellum, contain two columns each. The letters are written in gold and silver. Proper names, including those of saints and holy places, are writ ten altogether in erold. while the rest of the text is in silver. Trie precious metals used in the production of this quaint volume are as bricrht and free from tar pish as if the ingenious workmanship had just been executed. Several vestrs must have been consumed by the oatieniand labotious penman who undertook' to accomplish; this stupendous task. PerhaDs. as some one has suggest ed, the volume isia labor.of lova and may represent the long and tedious years of solitude which its author spent behind the walls of some old monastery. The volume was found amonc thA ta. cesses of an old librarv in one of thA r1- serted convents of Asia Minor. The news ot the discovery reached Constantinople only a few days ago. The Russian crovernment has secured possession of the volume and will place it in the Russian National museum for safe keeping among other rare and valuable curios.
