THE REMOVAL OF THE OBELISK
a5 ca @# TO PARIS.

Our dragoman was at Luxor when the
French were taking down and getting
afloat the enormous obelisk now in the
Place de la Concorde at Paris, aad of
which the magnificent mate is still in
place before the temple at Luxor (the
finest obelisk in the clearneSs Of its
hieroglyphic figures in the world). The
French sent vessel VITA three captains,
three ship doctors, three engineers and
two hundred men to effect the transporta-
ton of this obellsk. They got there pur-
pos4ly at the height Of one inundation,
and getting as near as possible to the
obelisk--it stood about thirty rods from
high water-they stranded their ship,
took out large part of one side of the
vessel, and went to work upon the obelisk.
Having hung it from enormous derricks,
they cut it off near the base perhaps it)
was too long for the vessel, and with two
thousand men (natlves) at the ropes,
slowly lowered it to the ground. An in
clined plane Of timber was made down to
the ship and on this it was slowly shov
ed on creased ways until it landed in the
hold of the vessel. It took one year to
accomplish this, with the aid of a vast
force Of natives The inundation had
risen Just in time to float their vessel as
tie French got ready to sail with their
treasure. They were three months get
ting from Luxor to Cairo and how long
getting home could not find out 1t is
not strange that Louis Philippe, who
ordered this national enterprise, should
have had the various engineering expedi-
ents by which it was accomplished, eD-
graved upon the pedestal he executed to
receive the obelisk. England, to whom
the mate was given, took warning, and
never attempted to move it, much to the
joy Of all travellers in Egypt. There is
abundant evidence in the sculptures OF
Egypt that the heavier stones were not
moved on the Nile They were put Oh
sledges, ways of wood laid down and
creased, and they were drawn by an i'm
mense force of men, sometimes six and
eight hundred miles, over the level coun-
try. Nothing short of universal relig-
lous passion among the people can ac-
count for the extent Of the sacrifices, the
persistency Of the efforts, the immensity
Of the scale on which their temple-build-
ing was carried on for at least two thou
sand years.-Rep Dr. Be5l0i0s, IN tie

WHAT A WOMAN SAYS OF Men AND
WoMEN.--A lady writer in the Broad
way, in an article entitled Ourselves"
says IN comparing women to men:
Though we were certainly not sent into
the world solely to supplement mems
lives and to have no original objects of
our own, still we cannot do without their
liking; and it is only right that we should
set our watches by their time. They are
clearer-h caded than We less preiudiced,
if less. conscientio more generous when
generous, and moro tender when tender.
When they love, they love better than we
love but less absorbingly. We give them
the whole of our lives to 1--we, they keep
one portion of theirs for work, and an
other for ambition. Still, the half meas-
ure of gallon is more than the full
measure of pint; and weight for weight,
the mans love is greater than the NO.

One evening-oh, that evening A
May sky, soft and blue, hung over a green,
blossoming earth The turtle cooed in
the distance wood, and the robbiu twit-
tered to her young brood amid the milky
bloom in the orchard. Gods love shone
on the golden brightness of the westward
going sun. Ny child, little Bffie, sat on
the doorstep, talking to the doll and
watching the birds. All at once she
clappcd her hands and bounded to her
feet. sa ea-rE ~ - 1
Mamma, she cried gleefully; papa
comipg'-papa coming; EtRe go meet
him"
The words stirred my heart to the most
utmost depths, and, dropping my work,
| followed my darling to the door.
A man was coming up the garden path
his garments tattered-~his step slow
and uncertain. A beggar, no doubt! I
called Effie to come back, but tshe ran on,
needless of my command. Toms little
spaniel, that | had petted and cared for,
for his sake, darted from his kennel with
peculiar cry, such as had never heard
from it before
What did it all mean? My heart
throbbed and my knees began to tremble.
Little Efie ran on, holding out both dim
pied hands, her golden hair all about her
rosy face
"How-de-do, papa? It's your little
girl, Ef6e, she lisped as she reached the
mans feet.
He stopped and raised herin his arms,
and then his glance rested on me. And

gard, worn by sorrow and suffering tc a

and tell me-"
'Yes, Lucy, it is me. I couldn't bear
it any longer-Pm dying, [ believe, and

little one again" @ aerzs
My arms held him fast, tattered gar
ments and all, my kisses fell on the poor
pale face like rain; would never let
him go again.
"Tom, Tom," sobbed, going down on
my knees before him, oh, forgive me
forgive me II have suffered so much"

But I stopped him short.
"No, Tom, my cross word did it all, y

been happy together all these weary
years."
Mama, don't cry any more papa $

Yes, he had come back, poor and tat.

my Tom, my husband, nevertheless
would never speak cross words to hin
any more.

THE PEACE JUBILEE.

Sacred Sunday Concert in the Coliseum
Proposed Continuance Of the Harmonious
FurOr Throughout the Week-The Coliseum
10 stand Until Winter.
BOSTON, June 90 1869.
The Peace Jubilee still hangs fire, and crowds
from abroad still lnger to participate in it, 1t was
conceived and announced yesterday afternoon that
there would be a grand sacred concert in the
Coliseum this evening" and, notwithstanding
the weather lowering. and the tickets of admis-
sion the eXtravagant sum OF two dollars, there was
an audience Of fully twenty thousand. The ap-
pearance Of the vast multitude, together with the
decorations and thousands OF blazing gas jets. was
brilliant In the extreme, and surpassed in numbers
and dazzling spendor any Sunday evening gathering
ever assembled. The programme OF the evening
consisted OF the best selections from the five pre-
vious concerts and although the chorus and orches-
ira were not as large during the past week. there
was sufficient number to render the programme
with mnch power and precision. Six hundred
singers and two hundred and fifty instrumentalists
were present, and Madame Rosa, MISS Phillips,
Miss Whtten and ole Bull were the soloists.
There was marked Improvement in some OF the
choruses, but the Thanks be to God," from
"Elijah," was again taken too slow. The conductor
Zerrahn, also nearly ruined the orchestra by quit
ting his stand and advancing into The mi ddle of the
chorus, Ostensbly for the purpose OF keeping them
in time, but really exposing chorus and orchestra
TO the danger OF an utter collapse. vlolinist stood
up the orchestra and conducted while Mr.. Zerrahn
was promenading around the chorus. Messrs. Gil.
more and Eichberg were the other conductors and
proved themselves efficient ones. The applause was
enthusiastic and there were several encores.
There Is to follow q series or promenade concerts
in the Coliseum during the present week, and on
about Wednesday OF next week 10 Is contemplated to
give benefit to Mr. Gilmore, on which
occasion many OF the singers and musicians
present at the JuDile have volunteered their
services. There has been no definite arrangement
yet as to what disposition Will be made OF the
colossal edince, but rs likely that ii will not be de-
molished until the approach OF winter. No official
statement OF the receipts and expenditures have
been made yet but II does not as II there had
