To the President Of the National Institute, Washington;
Mr. PREsDEsr: have the honor to transmit a
copy of memoir on the pyramids of Egypt and
Nubia, which ! beg you to present, as tribute OF
my respect, TO the National Institute.
In this work. summarily communicated, on the
5th of August, 1914, to the Royal Academy Of Sci
ences at Paris, | have undertaken to demonstrate,
by historical, archaeological geographical, and topo-
graphical considerations, and by physlco-mathemat-
zeal proofs, based upon very recent and authentic
Documents
That the use of the pyramids, as places of sepul-
ture, was entirely accessory and subordinate;
That these marvellous structures conceal an I'M
portant problem in science;
That their purpose was to protect the valley of
the Nile against the encroachment of the sands of
the desert;
That placed us they all are at the entrance of the
valleys--which, from the region of moving sand,
debouche transversely upon the plain of the Nile
and disposed in conformity with striking laws, they
arrest the sandy whirlwnds, by encounering the
very causes of the evils that is to say, by present
ing to the wind, compressed within the mountain
gorges superfcies of an extent capable of restrain
ing its velocty by opposing, in word, to the aer-
al current, resistance equal to the excess Of velo
city necessary to displace the sand;
And in fine, that, far from perpetuating the pride
and folly Of the Pharaohs, they remain, the con-
trary, glorious monuments Of the wisdom and sci
ence Of the Egyptians
/ hope, Mr.. President, that you will have the
goodness to direct the attention Of your learned in
stitute to my explanation of the purpose Of the
pyramids-a system already honored by distin-
guished appreciation, and in which historical phys
cal, and mathematical science is SO deeply inter-
esed.
1t is important that the learned world should be
called upon to decide whether one of the finest
leaves in the history of Egyptian civilization has not
been discovered; and whether the Sphynr, which
would seem to have been placed at the foot of the
pyramids by the mystical genius of the sacred col
leges of ancient Egypt, for the express purpose of
challenging poserity to unfold their secret, has not
been, at length, confounded
Accept, Mr.. President, the homage of the disn-
guished consideration of your very humble and ODE
dent servant,

to dawn in the benighted State of Rhode Island; the
spirit OF Roger Williams has returned and tyranny
has been rebuked. As republicans and friends of hu.
mainly, we rejoice at the liberation of Thomas w
Dorr; we regard the laws which confined him in
prison as cruel, arbitrary, and unjust; and we
rely upon the principles of liberty restoring To
him his civil and political rights. Our hopes
are, that again will such spectacle be
exhibited before American freemen, as oppres-
sion and degrading chains for the advocacy OF
the equal rights Of mankind In the language OF
the founder Of that State, Let their magistrates
strain crime and punish guilt, but never control
opinion, or violate the freedom Of the soul"
The following resolution was submitted to the
meeting by Judge Petit, and was unanimously
adopted:
Resolped, That the thanks of this meeting are
Justly DUE and are hereby cordially rendered, to E.
b. Schnabel, esq., for the interesting, patriotic, eo-
quent, and able Grafton delivered by him this day;
and that he be respectfully requested to furnish to
the committee Of arrangements copy for publica-
ton. ,
On motion,
Resolved, That when this meeting adjourns, i,
adjourn to meet on the morning of the 4th of July
1916, at O'Clock, in Independence square
After the reading of the resolutions; an address
was delivered by the Hon. T.. M. Petit; in which
he advered, in strong and nervous language, to the
past, the present. and the future prospects of oui
glorious country
A most beautiful wreath was presented by Mr.
James W. Fletcher, ON the part Of some ladies, to

which presented a most imposing spectacle. There
was large turnout of the masonic fraternity and
Independent Order Of Odd Fellows. There were
seven fire companies attlred IN full uniform, linen
there was the German Benevolent Assoclauon, the
Society of Cordwaners, and several other assocla-
tons, which added to the interest of the occasion
and rendered the honors paid to the immortal dead
peculiarly solemn and interesting.
The Hon. Thomas l.. Smith delivered the ora
tion. IL was beautiful and eloquent tribute TO
the memory of the Christian and patriot of the Her
mtage, and was received by the assembled thou
sands with unbounded appreciation and applause
Indeed the interest manifested by the vast concourse
of people was most intense and solemn during the
entire delivery of the address. When the speaker
alluded the brilliant and important achievements
which marked the public career of General Jackson
his deeds of valor as a military COMMUNICATIVE
glory and high destiny which his craftsmanship
marked out for his country--his undaunted cour-
age--his unsullied patriotsm-his ardent attach
ment to the interests of the laboring classes-his
undyng love ofcountry-and his spotless integrity
there was profound silence, and an rrepressiole
grief which but too plainly told the great loss the
nation had sustained in the death of this great and
good man. But when Mr.. Smith followed this
pure patriot to the chamber of death, and spoke of
the mournful around the couch of this expiring
Christian, the mighty throng was deeply affected,
and not fearless eye could be seen amid the gath
cred thousands.
The speaker paid beautiful eulogy to General
Jackson in his defence and battle of New Orleans.
He remarked that ''tRe people of the whole Union
will honor him as one who has shed imperishable lus-
tire upon the American name--who raised up the
dropping spirits Of his countrymen in the hour OF
their greatest dependency and gloom, and elecri-
fed all hearts by the glorious victory he achieved
over foreign foe upon the plains of New Orleans
All what recolections hrong around us, as we
recall to mind the memorable day when that noble
army of western citizens headed by their dauntless
cheftain, met and conquered the choicest veterans
of Europe on the banks of the Mississippi The
respondent fears of our own countrymen, and the
vauntings Of the enemy, as they came careerlng
with their watchword of beauty and booty and
with songs, and ests, and revery, despisng the un-
disciplined militia OF the West, still ringing in
our ears. Conquerors of Spain, veterans in war,
and flushed with recent victory over the far-famed
legions of France, they but anticipated march of
pleasure, to plumber and ravage defenceless city
How they were disappointed, isnow familiar histo-
ry to every inhabitant Of this country and England
will long remember that bloody field, where thou
sands of her bravest chvalry still sleepno in the
arms of beauty, but in the cold embrace of DEATH"
The impressive ceremonies Of the day passed over
without even the smallest accident.

that the like causes would produce the like effects in
Texas
Under these views of this subject and seeing that
equal and exact Justice to all the States Of the Union
would require that all their public lands should rest
on the same footing, and be administered under the
same uniform system; the only question to solve is
how can this be done, without leaving Texas unable
to discharge her public debt, and without means to
put into efficient operation her State government
The undersigned, in proposing to answer this
question: does so with great Difference to the better
judgment and greater experience of the many able
citizens who will consider and will have the right
to act upon it, Nor would he attempt it, but for
his great desire that what may be done on the sub
ject should be done as not to raise any new
question respecting the powers of the Congress OF
the United States. His object is to give success to
the present measure of annexation, which is now
entirely within the control Of Texas, if she accepts
the provisions OF the law of Congress before her. and
puts nothing in her constitution of debatabe ma
ture ns respects either her rights interests or those
of the Union. If the convention, soon 20 assemble,
to make their acceptance OF the provisions OF
the first and second sections Of that law dependent
upon the adoption by the Congress Of the United
States Of any definite disposition OF these debated
questions the measure of annexation might be re
opened in the United States, and subjected again 10
all the delay which it would be in the power OF
those opposed to it to create. Such questions, II
made condition of admission, might encounter OPP
position from members Of Congress, who would
make none at all to then liberal settlement after
Texas is admitted as State. Such members, be-
lieying the measure Of annexation to be injurious to
the country, would make opposition to it, while
thew have any plea for so doing After the meas
IRE however, is once settled by the action. Of Texas
In fulfilling literally all the provisions of the joint
olution, il isno to be supposed that they will allow
that opposition to become injustice orlliberality to
Texas. Hence, il the convention should form and
express sny.defnite opinion on these subjects the
afs course would be 10 express IL, not qualifi-
cation Of their acceptance Of the terms proposed by
