GUANo MUMMY. The recent excavations
at Ichsboe for the new fertilizer have resulted in
other freightage save such as could be devoted
to Agricultural interests. A mummy has been
brought to London and deposited in the Egyptian
Hall OF that city which has been wonderfully pre-
served by the ammonia of the island. The body
is that OF full grown man enclosed in coffin
which is yet perfectly entire also the trowsers
and shirt of the deceased, the former of duck and
the latter OF cotton both of which on being tried,
retained all the strength OF the new fabric The
body itself, says account in London paper,
seems as if it were tanned leather; the flesh has
become in great measure absorbed with all the
softer animal tissues; but the muscular develop
ment remains firm, and the veins and tendons of
the extremites are curiousy shown stretched
= over the bones. The teeth are still white and
sound; and the hair still curls on the head. The
color OF the body is dark brown; and the whole
exhibition is an interesting one particularly for

long the body had lain previous to its discovery
but the probability is that century has elapsed
since the mate one Of the officers OF merchant
ship running down the African coast, died, and
since party Of sailors landed for hour to bury
the body Of their shp-mate on 3ne and nameless
island, tenanted only by sea-birds, on the desert
coast OF Africa Boston Transcript

white-oak, &C. The live oak is found chiefly
in our most Southern States-but especially in
the northern, middle and western States. Our
national ships are built OF live-oak, and those Of
them which have been faithfully built, have been
found to be sound after the lapse OF so years
