EMBALMING AN EGYPTIAN-CooLEY VERSUS GID
DoN-We publish in our paper to-day very curl
Gus card which appears in the columns of several
of our contemporaries of yesterday, purporting to
be reply by Mr. Cooley, the author of 6 the
American in Egypt" to some statements recently
made by Mr.. Gliddon, concerning certain literary,
private, and antiquarian matters, and differences
that have existed between them for some time.
We believe that this card of Mr.. Cooley's en-
braces the whole subject and gives view of the
case in such clear and distinct manner that ii
may be understood by every one.
According to the code of honor which Professor
Gliddon acknowledges, we can't perceive how by
any power OF locomotion, he can get out Of the
corner into which Mr.. Cooley has put him. Mr.
Cooley presents his in the strongest light, and
seems to satisfy all reasonable men of the proprie
ty of his conduct and the unjustfable behavior Of
Mr.. Gliddon Indeed, we conceive, that hence
forth Mr.. Gliddon will be consldered as being COM
pletely embamed-a fine specimen of preserved
humanity. He has been put up, fixed off and
boxed, and is now ready to go forward in the race
of futdrity with the best spiced mummy in the land
of Egypt.

remind us very much of the civilized burnings and

picture of the progress of civilization in the west.
1t must, however be recollected that these state
ments come from the parties opposed to Joe, and
we have yet to learn what he has got to say for
