they discovered daylight which was found to
proceed from hole or cave on the north side
Of the river, which had never been penetrated
by any person to our knowledge They came
out and crossed the river on the bridge.
On the following day, some ten or twelve of
the neighbors entered the cave through the
same opening that the former party had come
out, and proceeded directly to the dead man,
and upon close examination, they found a
pocket book containing papers, but no money
Among the papers are seven bonds, some for
large amounts; one for $4,000, dated in the
year 1923; some others are dated 1926; all of
which were given or signed by old settlers of

The Procession OF B@uf Gras.

A Paris letter gives the following account of
the parade of the fat Beef through the streets
of that city on the 9th February:
The Bauf Gras made his final promenade
to-day through the parts of the city which had
not yet been visited by his predecessor, who, by
the way, has already been beheaded, quartered
and cnt up into steaks. 1t being the last day
of the Carnival, the principal streets were
crowded to excess, and the Boulevards, spacious
as they are, were in certain parts blocked up
for half an hour at a time by long files Of
carriages and foot passengers The utmost
exertions Of the gendarmes and city police were
required to keep passage clear The mas
kers were more numerous than on Monday,
though this is not saying much, as the show
seems to be declining apace. These mumme-
res have much degenerated; they have lost
most of their meaning and point, and have only
retained what is simply extravagant, without
taste. Here and there, however, might be seen
grotesaue limitations Of female costume, parti-
cularly that part which already rivals and bids
fair to surpass the most exaggerated amplitude
of the ancient hopes, and which makes lady's
dress resemble the swell of balloon. This
seemed to be the favorite costume of the over.
grown gamins, and the mincing step with
which they moved along, in imitation of q lady
in full toilette entering a ball room, was su
premely ludicrous.

Arrest OF q Bank Forger.

On Friday last q man named Daniel G.
Emery was arrested at Boston who is said to
be one OF the most expert forgers in the coun.
ny since the death Of Monroe Edwards. He
is accused, in connection with another man,
who has not yet been apprehended, of having
obtained from various banks in Philadelphia
on forged checks $3,70l, of which $427 was
from the Bank of Pennsylvania, the check pur-
porting to he drawn by Henry Neal to the
order Of David Walters; 1892 from the South
wark Bank, drawn by |. Ii. Macauly; 1882
from the Girard Bank, drawn by w. L. Carter;
and $1,000 from the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, drawn by w. A. Fuller In his posses
sion the officers found $3.50 in bills on the
Bank Of Penn Township, Pa, and about 5000
in gold. He was committed to jail
In l845 man of the same name was arrested
in Boston for forgery, was convicted of the
crime, and sentenced to seven years hard
labor in the State prison, but was pardoned
out after serving about half his sentence.

Nebuohednenxer EIhumed.
So lis said!


II is stated that Colonel Rawlinson, who is
at present engaged in prosecuting the dis
coveries commenced by Layard and Botta, and
in exbuming from the mounds Of the long-lost
rival cities Of Nineveh and Babylon, the in
structive remains of this once gigantic power,
has lately discovered in a state Of perfect pre-.
servation, what is believed to be the mummy
OF Nebuchednezzer. The face Of the rebelious
monarch of Babylon, covered by one Of those
gold masks usually found in Assyrian tombs,
is described as very handsome-the forehead
high and commanding, the features marked
and regular. This interesting relic of remote
antiquity Is for the present preserved in the
Museum of the East India Company.
OF all the mighty empires which have left a
lasting impression on the memory, none has SO
completely persisted as that of Assyria. More
than two thousand years have gone by, since
the two "great cities" renowned for their
strength, their luxury, and their magnifcence,
have crumbled into dust, leaving no visible
trace Of their existence their very sites forgot.
ten. A chance traveller, Layard, riding
through the Mesopotamian valley, discovered
"the buried city" and with success that will
immortalize his name, has commenced to unrol
the book of Assyrian history and civilization,
which, of all the histories of the first period oil
the world, is most clearly connected with the
subsequent destinies of the human race. The
discoveries already made, furnish ample testi.
mony to refute the sceptc and unbeliever OF
scripture truth,
