which country her falling health had
lately banished her. These last made
her name familiar in every intelligent
notwithstanding, as they did, the
comparatively novel and picturesque
life OF an English lady among the
Feilrheen of the Lower Nile. Under
sentence Of death az she was, her
gallant and energetic nature extracted
much quiet happiness out Of her exile;
and that same 'after-glOW Of Egypt
which a famous artist has painted
with such tenderness and beauty,
seemed to irradiate the closing years
Of her life.
COpts. Armenians, Fellaheen, and
all the motley peoples Of the river,
spoke of her with a puzzled affection,
and referred their quarrels TO her
whenever they could. There was a
| serious proposition made once, we be
| Iieve, to appoint her Gadi or Judge;
and the M0llahs Themselves hesitated
| to maintain that there could be any
/ region Of MOhammed's Paradise to
| which 50 Just and wise a woman,
albeit a Kafir, might not, by the
grace Of Allah the Compassionate,
| finally attain. Her kindness, her
| courage, and her ~unpreudleed SYM
! pathy established her in the hearts Of
/ these NilOtie dwelters; and truly she
saw a great deal of the sorrow, As
well as Of the simple pleasures attend
ing life in Egypt. She witnessed at
different times an instruction, a
plague, a murrain-and, worse than
any Of these things, the cruel con-
| scriptiOns for labor or military ser
vice which disgrace the Egyptian
rule and impOverish its subjects. She
was always, to the extent of her
power, on the side Of the poor peas

her Letters and in conversation
with those travellers who visited her
on their voyage up and down the

A correspondent of the Montgomery

meeting of the Virginia Educational
Association, at Lexington, Professor
Holmes, of the University of Virginia,
said that he wanted good English to
be taught i'm the schools. From per-
sonal knowledge and experience, he
knew better English was taught in
America than in Merrie England, and
purer English spoken by the educated
classes in Virginia than anywhereelse
in the world. Professor Holmes is an
Englishman, graduated at Oxford, and
has Travelled extensively, and this IS
saying a great deal for old Virginia.
He concluded with n scathing criti-
cism on the slip-shOd use of
words. We hope Prof. Holmes will
come down this way and give some
instructions to Cloud and AppletOddy.

A GeoIaaieaI FACT.

The following geological fact is
translated from Count BournOn's Min
eralogy; During the years l1s6-l and
S, they were occupied near AlAi III
Provence, in France, in quarrylng
stone for the rebuilding, upon a vast
scale, of the Palace of Justice. The
stone was a deep gray limestone, and
of that kind which are tender when
they come out of the quarry, but hard
en- bv exposure to the air. The strata
were separated from One another by a
bed of sand, mixed with clay more or
less ealeareous. The first which were
wrought presented no appearance OF
any foreign bodies; but, after the
wOrkmen had removed the first ten
beds, they were astOnished, when
taking away the eleventh, TO find its
inferior surface, at the depth of forty
or fifty feet, covered with shells, The
stone of this bed having been re-
moved, as they were taking away the
sand which separated the eleventh
bed from the twelfth, they found
stumps of columns and fragments OF
stones half wrought, and the stone
was exactly similar to that OF the
quarry. They found, moreover, coins,
handles of hammers and other tools,
or Fragments e tools. Of wood. But
that which principally eaRWanded
their attention was q board, about an
inch thick, and seven or eight feet
long: it was broken into many pieces,
Of Whichn0ne were missing; it was
possible tG ioin them again; one to an
other, and to restore lts original form,
which was that OF the boards Of tie
same kind used by the mas0ns and
quarFymen; it was Wornin the same
manner, rounded and waving GA the
edges, The stones, which Wsra partly
wrought, had not changed in their
nature, but the fragments Of the board,
and the instruments, and the pieces
of instruments of wood, had been
ehsnoed into agates, which were very
fine, and ~agreeagiy solayed. Here,
then observes Count B0urnOnb We
have the traces Of a work executed by
the hand of man, placed at the depth
offhy feet, and covered 9Th eleven
beds Of compact 1imeStonej eyery-
thing tended TO prove that this work
had been execgtpd where the traces
existed. The presence OF man Aaq
then preceded the formation of this
stone, and that very considerably,

OF civilization, that the arts We're

Rome in Marble.

Miss Whitney, says the Roman
correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post, has just sent of a very
remarkable study, which has been
seen by but few Of her friends as yet.
1t is the figure Of a woman, from
whom the glory of wOmanhOOd has
all departed. She IS seated upon q
broken column. From her hand,
living Ifstlessly upon her lap, the coins
which she has collected during the
dav have fallen. Beside her a beggar's
medal and Il priests mask tell how
these have been earned. Into the
hem Of her dress are woven the eele-
brated statues which Rome possesses
the LAGOON, the Apollo Belvedere,
the Dying Gladiator, and others
Below them is & fringe Of rags. There
is old age written all over the figure;
the face and throat are shrivelled and
wrinkled; the form is bent, but the
eve is still Of surprising depth. In II
alone can we read what she once was.
Thus has Rome appeared to this artist,
and thus has she shown it 20 Us.

AT the last meeting of the Coincide
rate Relief and Historical Association
a resolution was unanimously adopt
ed, instructing a CommitteeappOinted
for that purpose, to put itself in COM
munication with the Federal Govern
ment and ask permission to remove
from Arlington Cemetery the Confed-
crate dead so grossly outraged last
May by a Lieutenant of Marines-a
disgraeeful course of conduct that was
subsequently shamelessly endorsed by
Gen. JOHN A. LOGAN, as the Com
mander-in-Ch Chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic. We think this a very
proper movement, one that should re-
ceive a hearty response from every
true man and woman within the linn
its of the late Confederate States. The
bones of the gallant fellows who laid
down their lives for the South should,
in so far as we can do 50, be protected
from insult and outrage, and to that
end should be removed to a suitable
place, where, upon every recurring
{" Anniversary of the Southern Dead
their graves may be crowned with the
typical embIems of immortality. We
trust the Committee appOintedt to carry
out the objects of our Confederate As
ISOLATION will act promptly, and that
they will suggest to the Confederate
officers who, on the 18th of this month,
will meet certain Federal officers on
the field of Gettysburg, the propriety
of removing our dead from the eeme-
terry there, in order that their remains
mayalsOinth the future beplaced beyond
the possibility of outrage by some in
tolerant marine or shameless tTickster
like LOGAN.

of States, and for the princi-
pies established on the assertion
of independence from monarchical
despotism. What will result here or
elsewhere, we have yet to see. That
universal suffrage" which e en-
reimbursement of the blacks, rather
than that of the whites, may be a fore
gone conclusion in this country, for
aught we know. The voting popula-
ton may be depleted until the land is
governed by the very dregs. Negroes
may be legislators, Judges, Presi-
dents, cabinet ministers, ambassadors
of state, make treaties, declare war
and govern in time of peace, for aught
we can say to the contrary. But the
bad government, distress and ruin
which will ensue to our country
shall not be by our fault. Our
hands are clean Of this blood.
So far from ~conceding that in the
present canvass for Governor and
members of the Legislature universal
suffrage is the true issue, for which
the Conservatives, Republicans and
patriots of all classes have struck
hands, a. our cotempOrary believes,
we extremely doubt whether the ma
iority Of those who will vote for SEN
TER are in favor Of it, as including an
endorsement of negro suffrage. We
believe that if the enfranchisement OF
the Africans was an open question in
this election it would be voted down
by an overwhelming majority.
What we should do now,
and what we believe a ma
jority of the people will do, is to
vote for the men likely to exert most
influence in bringing about the en-
franchisement of all the ~disfranchised
| whites, with which the question o.
, previous enfranchisement has nothing
in the world to do. The movement is
not to disfranchise anybody, but to
enfranchise all really entitled to the
franchise. And this is such a plain
act of Justice as to force itself on thou
sands of liberal and just minded men
of the Republican party, as well as on
| the people generally. 1t is nobOdy's
particular thunder, and the Ardianeht
is entitled to no more than its
proper share Of the glory of success.

PANsoN, we must think that our
friend DIR. FORD, in another column,
makes objections as to infidel tenden-
cies Of the lecture, which are unneces-
sary and unfounded in just reason and
candid Interpretation. So far as we
heard, the lecturer dealt with facts.
His cOnjectures were not arguments,
and facts it was not his purpose to
reconcile with any theories doubtful

make any issue with the Bible, we
see no reason why an issue should be

tensity, for the oil burned until there
appeared to be nothing left to support
the flames. l noticed the flaming oil
floating on the surface of the water on
the floors. The water running down
the walls bore a flaming surface of oil
likewise. This shows that the water
had listle or no power over the burn

partisan for al that. Its motto "Let
