OPENING or AN EoYPTIAN MGMMY-
Mr.. GIiJdon commenced on Monday fore.
noon, the opening If the famous Theban
mummy, at Boston, in the presence OF
highly scientific and intelligent auditory,
large portion Of which consisted of Ia
dies, of course. We give an interesting
account Of the ceremony from the Boston
transcript. The Journal says that the
lecture given by Mr.. G'iddon during The
process, (Which is 10 be completed on
Wedneadsy and Friday,) was exceeding
ly interesting to the audiences
The case of sycamore wood, otna-
mcnted with hierogyphics, was placed
horizontally upon stand ,und while Mr. G
discoursed upon theNile andthe pyramids
of the Giza aud the rece eptacles where the
mummes were found, an ofliciating car
penter took nfI his coat, aud with small
saw, proceeded to saw the case length
wise. After this had been done on two
sides--an occupation which lasted at out
half an hour, it was ready To be taken a
part for the disclosure of what 1t might
contain. This was done by Mr.. g. and
his assistant, in view of the whole audi
ence. The mummy came out in beauti-
ful condition, as if it had been deposited
in its case but yesterday instead of 500
years before the birth ofChrist. 1t came
out swathed in linen, smooth, and but
slightly discolored by the lapse of time
On the front covering were a series oi
hieruglyphics of fresh slate color. as
distinct as if they mad just been printed
A burst of applause and murmer OF sur
prise from the audience, showed the sen
sation which tho exhibition produced.
"As the lady thus brought befure the
public was, according to the inscriptions
on her sarcophagus, person OF rank,
and the daughter of high priest, it was
naturally expected that the interior of the
case (Which, by the way, was in won
derful state of preservation) would re-
veal some ornaments, jewelry, trinkets,
&c, of value. But this expectation has
not thus far been gratifed. Probably
the interior fodings. which will not be
disturbed till Wednesday, will reveal
some curiosities of this nature, as well as
some specimens ofpapyra. and "Scara'
baus" or Papyrus ofthe dead usually dc.
posted with tho Egyptian dead. The
audience seemed highly interested. aud
we doubt no, that the second lecture, on
Wednesday. will show an increased at
tendance.
Among the incidents mot SET down in
the bill, was the unrolling of the mummy
Of white ibis, at which Professor Agas.
siz presided. He also exhibited the head
of girl with beautiful silken hair, Of
light auburn color, another head, and the
very delicate foot Of lady"
AS more particularly showing who this
mummi6el lady is, the BostonC Couriersays:
"He stated, that from all he was able
to learn from the hieroglyphics on the in.
ner coffin, the body was that Of "ARCH
"'"', daughter of the high priest Of
Thebes, GoT.THoRTr-' who lived between
b. G. 1900 aud B. c. 1900, during the
time of Moses, about 1900 years ago. A
portion Of the name of the deceased is
obhterated but her fathers name and
dignity are quite distinct in the hero.

turer was quite positive that Mad. Arch
was of distinguished palentage."

Breaches OF Promise BY WOMAN
A New York paper states that Judge
DAILY has recently given the decision
that a women may notlegally be held to
bail for breach of promise to marry, and
that it is only the masculine gender who
can be so held for refusing to consummnte
such a contract.
We suppose the learned Judge assumed
the poets line.

that argued that no right of action ac'

would allow himself To be sinned against

A GRAcELEss GRAcE,-A scamp who
used to raise particular purgatory about
Middlebury College, had taken shine
to the daughter of a staid old deacon, who
used frequently to invite him to dinner.
The deacon called upon him one day
to ask the customary blessing. and not
wishing to have it understood that there
was any one thing that he could not do.
he made the effort. Hastily recollecling
all he could of the usual form, he began.
and made an excellent start oft but could
not think for his life, how to close ii off,
1t was easier to GO on than to stop. Final
ly making a desperate dash at a period,
he closed thus, ''In conclusion, my
dear sir, remain very respectfully and
truly. your obedienl servant" He has
not dined with that deacon since.
