Indian Mummies.

George G. Bates writes to the De-
troit Advertiser that the great mystery
among the savaus of the world-to
wit by what process Of art or skill
in science, the mummies found in the
Pyramids of Egypt have been preserv-
cd, and which modern skill has exhaust.
ed its resources in fruitless efforts to
analyze, is known on the shores of the
Pacific, among the wandering races of
the Chinooks and the Flatheads. These
rude savagcs understand and practice
this art with as much success as at
tended the efforts of the ancient Egyp-
tians. Mr.. Bates says:
At the famous depository for the
farmers of California, on Montgomery
street, are two specimens which are
well calculated to arouse the attention
Of the rejecting and to show how init
mate, aftci all, are tie relations Of the
rast and the future. The former Of
these is Flathead mummy, found in
his canoe on the shores of Puget Sound,
in perfect state Of preservation.-
Those who have seen the Egyptian
mummy. would be utterly astonished
at the exact similitude, save in the con.
formation Of the subject. The forehead
Of the skull has been evidently de-
pressed by outward mechanical appli-
ances. but in all else, it is the mummy
Of tie Pyramid. III apcrfcct state of
preservation. The eye balls are still
under the lid the teeth, the muscles
and tendons perfectly preserved. The
very blanket that cntwnes him, made
of some threads of bark, and saturated
with litchy substance, is antire.-
The inner canoe in which he was found
had entirely dccaycd, and the cutter
one was nearly gone, yet the body is
evidently just as it was prepared by
the cnlbalmcr; and although exposed
now to the oren air, it shows 10 sign
OF decomposition. 1t would seem as
if prepared for all coming time. Where
these wanderers Of the desert learned
this art, is a query over which the wise
may ponder, and those who are skilled
in such things will find food for thought
in this strange specimen picked up
near the disputed boundary on our
western frontier.

A THIEF BALL.--In London and
Paris balls by certain classes of thieves
and beggars have been known, but VIC
scarcely expected to record the fact
of such festival as a Micf baH in New
York for some years to come. On
Thursday night the first one was held
in the Warren Hall, corner of Henry
and Oliver streets, by a Iarty Of
thieves aud disrelutablc women. under
the name Of the 'Vaintown Rangers"
The keeper Of the hail thought they
were strange looking set, but knew
not their character until lie was inform.
ed by the police. Capt. Ditchett Of
the 4th ward had heard of what was
on foot, and repaired to the hall with
section Of men in citizens dress,
about an hour after the dancing COM
menced. The party were then in full
blast-thieycs rigged out ir fancy
garb, and the female portion Of the
company in short dresses with srangled
skirts, &c. Capt. Ditchett on entering
was, met by notorious thief, apparent
ly the master Of ceremonies, who had
the cooness to ask him if he did not
want partner. The Captain grabbed
the impudent rascal, and this was a
signal for a general grab by all the
officers. This was a surprise anything
but agreeable to the remainder of the
company, who scampcred in all direc-
tions to escape the police. Some Of
them hid in the building, others jump
cd out of the windows. and number
escaped from the premises by lowering
themselves on a shed in the rear
The police could have secured the en-,
tire company, but they only wished to
arrest such parties as they knew to be
notorious thieves, and took nine Of
thom into custody.

Why Don't he do it ?

We find the following home queries
going the rounds among our exchanges,
without name or credit, although de-
serving of better fate, and what is
more, Of The careful reading of every
farmer = Penn. Farm JJw
When the Farmer knows, that a
gate is better, and, as a time-and-la>
bor-saying fixture, cheaper, than set
Of bars and posts, and without calling
on carpenter he can himself make
one. IJ2y don't lie DO It,?
When he has no other fastcnines to
his gates and barn doors than stone
rolled against them, and in single
evening, after supper, is able to make
better one, Wig don't he do it.?
Or when he sees the boards dropp-
ing from his barns and out,Luildings,
and like heaps Of rubbish lying in piles
about the premises, and need only nail
ing on again, Why don't he DO a9
Or if he is afraid Of the expense Of
nails and is always crying up the max
i'm of DR.. Franklin, to save the
pence and the pounds will take care Of
themselves" and he knows that the
same DR.. Franklin also said that
many men are pennywise and pound
foolish" and he is not careful to think
Of the precept contained in the latter,
Why don't he do it?
II it is saving of neally half the
manure Of a farmers stock by keeping
them shut up in yards, instead of run,
ming at large through most Of the Win
ter. Why don't he do it,
ii he knows that many of his fields
would be greatly improved by dtching,
and by the removal Of large stumps
aud stones, Why don't he DO it?
And if he can add fifty PER cent.
to the product of lis clover fields, and
even his pastures, by the use Of gyp-
sum, Why don't he do it9
If a farmer of fifty acres has Gas he
should haye) use for a good corn-shel-
Ter and one of the many improved fans
ming mills, and has not already obtain
ed both, Why don't he do it?
And if it is cheaper, actually chcap>
cr, to burn dry wood than green, and
to use stove instead of an open fires
place, Why donth he do ita
