DEATH OF LOCKHART.

The English papers brought by the Pacific contain the
intelligence that JOHN GIBSON LooKHART, the eminent
Scottish author, died of paralysis at Abbottsford
the evening Of November 25th. Mr. Lockhart was the
Of Scottish clergyman and born at Glasgow in
1892. He educated for the bar, but early turned
his attention to literature.
His first efforts in Blackwoods Magazine in 1877
the famous "Chaldee Manuscript" being in part his
work. "Peters Letters to his Kinsfok was another
Of his famous contributions to the Magazine and many
other celebrated papers the joint work of himself
and Prof Wilson His writings brought him into in
macy with Walter Scott which resulted in his marriage
to the great noveists daughter Charlotte Sophia Scott
in April, 1920
From that time his writings we're numerous, and in
1924 he became editor Of the Quarterly Review, which
position he held until year ago. when failing health
compelled him to resign it. His most noted books the
Ancent Spanish Ballads" and Life Of Walter Scott"
He has successfully tried his hand at poetry history
biography felton, and criticism and without
siderable success.
His satisfactory conduct of the Quarterly Review,
through the long period Of twenyseven years. is album
dant proof Of his tact and ability Mrs Lockhart died
in 1887, and we believe his children all deceased It
is understood that he has written autobiography
bodying the literary history Of his times, which will
probably be published 1t cannot fail to be very interest

DISCOVERIES IN EGYPT.

The Paris correspondent Of the Journal Of Commerce
says that Mr. AuaUsTE MARIETTE, whom the French Co
vernment sent to Egypt scientific mission, has just
returned after absence Of four years. He devoted
them exclusively to excavation Of the Srapeu, Tenn
pie of Serapis and succeeded beyond all hope. He
petey cleared the Serapeum Of the sands under which it
lay buried for SO many centuries.
By his discoveries the fusion Of Greek and Egyptian
art at various periods is established by number Of sta
tues which amid the images Of Scraps Scuptured
Of Apis found by the side Of statues
Of Pindar, Homer, Lycurgus, Pathagoras, Plato and
Euripdes. An alley avenue Of six hundred Sphinxes
is terminated by series Of figures representing the prn-
cipa Hellenic divinesgenii placed, in the Egyptian
manner, animals that symbolic those divnities. The
most important Of Mr. Mariettes discoveries was the
tomb of Apis-a monument excavated entirely in live
rock There hundred vast chambers and consid-
cradle number Of galleries and streetthe ensemble of
real subterraneeus city
They supplied the discoverer with multitude Of steles
(monolyths shafts statuettes, images Of oil dimensions
and of every age deposited by the ancient Egyptians in
the chambers and compartments of the funerea struc
ture as tokens Of their pous devotion to the mummy Of
the god worshipped at Memphis. There are epitaphs
forming chronological record Of each Of the buried
in the common tomb. The sculpture Is Of the date ohe
pyramids and the statues in the best preservation
the coors perfectly bright Altogether the execution
is admirable and they convey exact idea Of the phys
cal character Of the primitive population.

vember 1854, and ending October 81 1885, at $646 1885,
and the probable disbursements at $500, 653.
The debt Of the State says the Treasurer may be set
down at So 92S $685. This debt will be increased
to by the sale Of 900 bonds to be sold
under the act for the benefit Of the Weldon and CASTOR
Railroad and the Neuse and Tar rivera and Of $4,000
bonds for the North Carolina Railroad The Treasurer
very judiciously remarks
After 1856 the present Of revenue will GER
tainy be insufficient to supply the wants Of the treasury
Whether the North Carolina Railroad will be completed
time enough, and if completed, will be able to declare
sufficient profits to supply this deficiency the Legislature
will be better enabled to judge when report shall be
presented from those having charge Of that road Should
this be deemed doubtful respectfully recommend that
provision be made for adequate increase Of the
nue. for, remarked in my last report it is impor-
tant that the public and especially those who deal in
State securities, should determination on the part
Of the Legislature to provide for the payment
interest," and not TO borrow money from year to year
do so, which is the exchange Of creditor for
another"
