now alive knows it but John Adams and

from first to last there was a most BIT

closed doors, the public knew no more
Of what passed within than what it
deemed cxpedient to misunderstanding.

N ocI1er ohroul.

In recent communication to the Nation
al Intellirencer, Mr.. Thomas Ewbank, late
Commissioner Of Patents, gives some i'm
portant information in regard to the discoy-
cries made in Peruvian tombs and tumuli.
The information ia derived from w. w.
Evans, Esq., a gentleman Of strong anti.
quarian predictions, and now engineer OF
the AFRICA and Tacna Railroad, in Peru.
Mr.. Evans states that in making excaya.
tons for the railroad At africa, hundreds oil
graves are demolished. in which are numer-
Gus Indian relics. The excavations are
seventy feet deep, and as the soil is loose
Sand, US the work proceeds everything IRON
the top comes Gliding down-dead Indians,
pots, kettles, arrow heads, sc. Among
other mortuary relics, an Indian was started
out of his resting place rolled up ~ shroud
of cold. Before Mr.. Evans had knowledge
Of the incident, the workmen had cut up
this magnificent winding sheet and DIVIDED
it among themselves. With some dlfhcui-
ty, Mr.. Evans obtained fragment and DIS
patched it to Mr.. Ewbank. Mr.. Evans no
tees rs markable fact, that in hundreds OF
Indian skulls which he has examined, mol
one has contained decayed tooth. Mr..
Evans thinks that the weight Of the entire
shroud must have been eight or nine pounds
and had it been preserved would have been
the finest specimen Of sheet gold that we
have heard Of since the times Of the Spanish
conquest In some eloquent remarks upon
| the preservation Of souvenirs Of the depart
ed, and the futility Of attempting to secure
| the great dead from contact with their ma
tive earth. Mr. Ewbank says it IL the torn
or features, and not the body or substance
of the dead that should be preserved, ant
| adds
"The mummies Of Egypt are qusrried TO
fuel, and, whether those Of the Pharaons
their wives, their priests, or their slaves
are split open and chopped up with tn
| same Indifference al SO many pine logs
The gums and balsams used in embaimini
them have made them good substitute 10
b;tuminous coal; and thus the very mean
employed to preserve them have oecom
the active agents ::of their dissipation -
it is when the materials of the coffin have
high marked value; they are then seized
concealed treasure, and their contents cas-
out as rubbish. Like heroes in the Easter
hemisphere, the descendants OF Manco an
Capec were sometimes, if not always, en-
tombed in such, and with considers bi
treasures besides in vessels of gold and 81
yer; hence we learn how the Spanish con
querors sought for, often found and as o'te'
plundered rich Incan sepulchres.

ALL 10 SAslTY.-The following 10 from
the diary Of the late Amos Lawrence:
81 have been extensively engaged in BUSH
ness during the last two years, and have
added much TO my worldly possessions; but
have come to the same conclusion in regard
TO them that did in 1918. feel distressed
in mind that the resolutions then made have
not been more efectual in keeping me from
this ouer-engagedness in business. =
Property acquired at such sacrifices as
have been obliged to make the pas, year,
costs more than it's worth, and the anxiety
of protecting it is the extreme of folly"
