An exquisite piece of Chinese carving is exhibited at the Philadelphia Exihbition. On an elephant's tusk is represented a Chinese city situated on the side of a mountain, and containing Joss house, palaces, pagodas, and military processions, while every minute detail of Celestial street and domestic life is depicted with marvellous accuracy. The carving is the work of one man, and occupied him for three years, yet the value of native labour in China is so inconsiderable that the worth of the work is only estimated at £64. It has been bought by the Pennsylvanian Museum of Art.
