A VISIT TO THE MUMMIEs,

An American, now travelling in Egypt,
had the curiosity to enter a cave used as a
sepulchre for mummies. Imagine, saws
he, "a vaulted chamber twenty-five feet
high, cut in the heart of huge granite rock.
In this apartment, dimly lighted by our two
Pickering tapers filed almost to the roof,
was a countless piled mass of unconfned
mummies. There they lay in all shapes
and postures Time had burst the twining
ligaments Of some, and their bony arms and
heshless fingers seemed struggling up from
the mass, as if to lay hold of the disturbers
of their slumbers. Some were placed up
right against the walls, and in the weird
shadows thrown by the candles light, their
features twitched and moved, and their long
sealed lips seemed opening to denounce Us.
Our Arab guide drew long knife from the
sheath in his arm, and commenced cutting
and tearing off the Wrapplngs IN search OF
valuahles; and, as his naked limbs sank
among the dry bones, and as his swarthy
arms tossed about the bodies, he looked like
some hideous vampire at his nightly meal,
The air was very bad, and | was about to
beat retreat, when suddenly a thought
flashed across my mind that almost froZe my
blood with horror | am not a coward, but
for moment my heart stood still The
cave was filed with thousand mummies
drier than the dryest tinder, and soaked in
bitumen, each enc wrapped in many folds of
mummy cloth, as inhammable as gun cotton.
& single spark from one of the candles
would have spread ike wildfre, and no
power upon earth could have saved US from
a fearful death. We would have been roast
ed alive in five minutes | remarked this
to Harry; he saw it instantly, and yelled to
the guide to be careful Of the light, while /
started for the opening. On | went,
through the narrow passage, tearing knees
and garments against sharp stones, shudder,,
ingly expecting each moment to lay my hand
upon the Shiny coils Of serpents in the dark,
and every now and then sticking fast and
feeling In imagination the scorching breath
Of tho fire. fiend on my back. At last l
reached the hole and was drawn up, very
glad to breath the pure air and feel the
warm sun again.

personal habits. | have great respect for
those rigid laws Of the counting room which
regulate dealings between man and man,
and which make the counting room as exact

affection, and all personal considerations
whatsoevor-which place neighbors and
brothers on the same platform with enc
mics and aliens, and which make an auto
crat Of an accountant, who is, at tue same
time strictly and obediently subject Of his
own laws
| say it is hard for a man to enter as a
perfectly harmonious element into his grand

with perfect integrity, and, at the same
time, be a very bad man. To u certain ex-

The London H,coyd says: So far as the
Papal States are concerned. and especially
the great city Of home, they still lie buried
In almost und istuThcd corruption There Is
host ofpriests aud fIiars, as well as Of car
dinals, bishops. and other sacerdotal dicui-
taTies. Almost every Office IN the State,
from the Pope's Chief Minister of State
down to his travelling courier, Is occupied
bya priest invested with a Divine commits
sion TO pardon or remit sins, and SO enabled
to tyaihc IN tho souls Of men. In such a
vast body of men living under q VOW of
ceiibcy, WallowiBg in the pollutions of the
confessional, aud hardened by familiarity
with debasiug hypocrisy aud odious super
stitiou, Is 1t not wonderful that there should
be many who are themselves not only super
stiti0us but hypocgitical. Without making
too sweeping OF exaggerated a charge
against the H3mish hierarchy, it is not
too much to say that the hatred and con
tempt in which they are held By the laity
originate in the inconsistency Of the practi-
ees Of the priesthood with their lofty pre-
tensions as the sole appointed stewards OF
God S mysteries. Certain it is that Rome
may be styled, in the words of the Apo
calypso, a cage Of unclean birds, and that
it abounds in every form of vice and violence
most disgusting to man and most repuguaut
to the laws of God. To suppose that Rome
presents a just picture Of city where
Christ Vicar presides, and where Christ
Gospel has for 800 years borne sway
would be a libel on Christianity. It IS,
however, according to the proyerb, like
priest ike people, and yet the predomi-
nant feeling is that of antipathy to the
whole of the sacerdotal hierarchy, aud de-
sire to hurl fromtheir elevation those spiri-
tual rulers who hayecorrupted and betrayed
their sacred calling, and made it an instru-
ment for avarice as we'll as Of grinding and
unrighteous tyranny.
We believe that no reasonable doubt can
be entertained that Garibaldi would have
found cordial welcome from the people of
the Roman States. The Pope could place
no reliance on his mereeuary defenders, and
even the contradicteG rumors in regard to
the officers of the Antilles Legion indica ties
tho prevailing sense. of weakness. The gar
rison at NiteTbo might have made show Of
resistance, but Garibaldi overcame far more
formidable obstacles in Sicily; and we believe
that his march from Yiterbo to the top Of
the Curinal might have resembled his en-
trance into Naples, and proved the crown
ing achievement of his wonderful career.
