A CuRIosrrY.-We were shown, last week, by
Rev. Willard Richardson, living at Houston Sta
ton, on the Junction & Brcakwater Railroad, in
Kent county, piece of cloth which was part
OF wrapper, Oh the body or mummy of :, Tan
tbs, the just one" There was nothing left of the
body but the bones, and some of the soft parts.
II was buried 1925 years before Christ, and was
taken from the sepulchre In Thcbes by Professor
Anderson, the historian, in the year 1s4S but has
Just recently arrived In this country, and was
opened In the Cooper Institute, New York, in the
presence of the Historical Society. The cloth
was the middle wrapper Of twenty-five which
we're around the body. II shows that even en-
halming will not keep the body from turning into
dust, and that the materials in which II is wrap
ped will long outlast the body. The only way We
can youcIi for the age of the mummy is by the
translation Of the inscriptions on the sarcopha.
gus, which shows that II Is $3.50 years old. The
material of which the cloth Is composed and the
manner in which IL is made sIlows eonclusiyely
that tho people of those days knew nothing O.
the art of making Shoday. Elegantly woven
and presenting the same appearance on botl
sides, 1t compares favorably with the ingenuity O
the present age.
