EGYPTIAN MUMMY RAGS In YANKEE PAPER Mill.
A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce,
writing Of the paper-mills at Gardiner, Me-, says
yesterday / visited, in company with Mayor
Woods (of Gardiner, the two principal paper fac
tories. aud Iwas sstonished in looking at the mil
lions of pounds of rags piled up in warehonses OF
spread over acres of ground, to find that portion
of them had recently arrived from Alexandria in
Egypt. They were the most disagreeably odorife-
rous old clotbes that have ever had the bad for
tune to smell This, doubtless, was owing to the
fact that part OF them were in adamaged state
The Egyptian rags had been collected from all the
corners OF thePacha's dominons-from the living
and the dead. How many castoff garments OF
Howadjis and Hadjis; how many tons Of big.
loose, Turkish, ragged breeches; and how many
Aead-pieced in the shape of old dofsd turbans the
deponent sayeth not. But the most singular and
the cleanest division of the whole filthy mass came
not from the limbs Of the present generation of
neutrality-suspicious., peasants, soldiers and sailors
OF Egypt-but were the plundered wrappipgs of
spectable defuuct members of the same What a
! SCENE to call up the grim past.
FIRIso CANNON TO Raise DEAD BODIES FROM rHs
BED OF WATER.-Tbe Chicago Times informs Us
that cannons were fred recently, on Lake Michi-
gan, near the spot where three persons named
Scstt, Palmer and Peck, were drowned, In hope oi
causing the dead bodies to ascend to the surface
The experiment proved ineffectnal. On the follow
ing day, however, the body OF Scott rose to the
surface, and . heavy thunder-storm having oc-
Cured shat night, the next morning Palmer and
Peck's bodies also rose mp. The Times contends
however, that the rising of these bodies was in no
waY dependent upon the artillery of earth or
heaven, and scouts the idea of firing cannon for
such purpose. The philosophy of the problem
may be thus solved: A human, or animal body,
| after being submerged for come days, changes is
| nature and becomes filled with gas, causing buoy
ancy. At particular period, if in no way fas-
tened to the bottom, it would certainly rise. This
only advantage, therefore, that could result from
the firing Of cannon, heavy thunder, or other sim
liar causes, would be the agitation produced il
the water by sudden conclusion, detaching the
submerged body from any slight attachment to
the waters bed, causing IL to riss perhaps few
hours sooner than otherwise
