SINGULAR FUEL.—The Arabs who inhlbit,

In m they
Upper k.:gypt have a strange way .of cooking
rs
the tombs,Whenever
descendtheiri c
into
y.
and throwing it on their shoulders, return to
their tent. Then taking a hatchet, and seizing
the mummy by one leg, they hew the body into
two at a blow, and afterwards cutting it into
smaller pieces, make use of a leg or an arm, or a
part of the trunk, as it may happen, to boil their
kettle. As the ancient Egyptians always in'
closed their dead in resinous substances, the
mummies are easily combustible, and make a'
cellent fuel.—London Weekly Review.
EVILS OF INTEMPERANCE.—Hugh King'
a soldier, was executed at St. Louis, on the
27th of May last, for the murder of
Martini
Green. At the place
of
execution he delivered
a neat speech, and, among other admonitory re'
marks, are the following :—" I can trace moss
of my overt acts of wickedness to intemperance.
The influence of ardent spirits has been to destrol
my reason, for the time being. I often had a faint,
and sometimes no recollection, of things that had
transpired when I was partially intoxicated. I
have no recollection of killing Sergeant Green,
nor of firing a gun that day, nor of many thing.
which are said to have transpired about that time.
I had been for several days most of the time
under the influence of liquor.- Yet I do not plead
this as my justification of my crime. From the
testimony of others, I can have no doubt that
shot Green, though I never harboured ill will
against him. According to the laws of God and
my country, I have forfeited my life."—Nete
York Paper.
