BRINGING MUMMIEs BACK TO L1FE.-It is said that
in the tombs of the Metropolis Of ancient Egypt two
kinds of mumnies have been found. One is incom-
petetha is to say all organs necessary to life have
been separated from them; the other, on the contra
ry, is quite complete. Having observed this, q
Swedish chemist, DR. Grusselbach, who has the
reputation of being both great and learned Professor
at the University Of Upsal, has come to the conclu
sion that the Egyptian mummies are not all, as has
been said and believed fer some thousands of years,
bodies embalmed by any process of preservation
whatever but that they really the bodies OF ind
viduals whose lives had been momentarily suspend
ed with the intention of restoring them at some fu
ture time only the secret Of preservation has been
lost. Meanwhile, Professor Grusselbach adduces
many proofs in support of his idea; among others,
his experiments during the last ten years, which he
says have always proved successful He took snake
and treated it in such manner to benumb it as
completely though it had been carved in marble,
and il brittle that had he allowed it to fall 1t
would have broken into fragn eEts. In this state he
kept for several years, then restored it to
life by sprinkling it with stimulating fnid the COM
position of which is his secret For fifteen years the
snake has been undergoing an existence composed of
successive deaths and resurrecons apparently with
out sustaining any harm. The professor is reported
to have sent petition to his Government requesting
that n criminal who has been condemned to death
may be given him, to treat in the same manner aS
the snake, promising to restore him to life in two
years 1t is understood that the man who undergoes
this experiment is to be pardoned. Whether the
Swedish Government has accepted or rejected the
learned chemists proposal is not known.

A RADICAL PAPER ON GRANT.

The Cincinnati Commercial, Radical paper, in re-
viewing the charges against General Grant Of COM
pliciy in the gold gambling operations in New York.
does not appear to be perfectly satisfied of his inno
cence blamelessness in the matter, and uses the
following significant language:
"Now we hope that in all this the President will
learn one useful lesson 1t is in brief that not only
is personal government played out in monarchies.
but that family influence will not any good pur
pose with Chief Magistrate; that in his position all
families of honest people must be on the same foot
ing that the Grants not III the least any better
than other folks because he is the President but
rather to be Disseminated against that his personal
friends must be judged by their fitness rather than
by their friendship If he can learn this lesson speed
iy and give evidence of his increase of knowledge
the people will be swift to forgive the although
committed; but II he remains in this particular dull
scholar, the degree of popular impatience that he
must encounter may at least surprise him good deal
The Radical press are beginning to not only realize
but to acknowledge the fact that Grant is better
than other people, and in fact no better than he should
be. The utmost reliance is not placed his word,
by his friends and his recent operations with
the Gold Ring, taken in connection with his whole
sale and retail disposal of public offices to the highest
bidder at private sale is not apt to materially increase
the estimation in which he is held by his Radical
friends. The Commercial admits that there is room
Captain and that if he should learn the lesson read
10 him by that paper, very speedily, the people will
be swift to forgive the he has committed. The
lcaven which old Wendell Phillips has been mixing
the Radical dough is beginning to work, is plain
ly disccrncd in the muttered grumblngs of the Re-
publican press throughout the country. Boutwell, s
plotting for the Pre- sdency will also be liable TO OBJ
scure Mr. Grants vision to such an extent that he
will not be able to read his title clear" to another
term in the White House. The seeds of corruption
anu dsafiection have been deeply in the Radi-
cal camp, and the muttered grumblings and schisms
plainly indicate to the honest but misguided mem
bers of that party lis early approaching dissolution.
The Democratic party can hold itself in readiness to
at the next Presidential election attend the wake
which will be held the rotten foul and sinking
corpse of Radlcalism.

A CARPET kSIGHT.-The following pertinent arti.
Gle on The airs the Grant family putting on illus
trating the menial services that army officers
perfectly willing to render their chief is taken from
a late Lancaster PA Intelhgencer:
"Gen. Horace Porter went to New York to buy car
pet for Mrs Grant, and not in connection with the
gold controversy"
We clip the above from the was rngton correspond
encc of the Philadelphia Ledger. 1t shows to what
brave uses our high army officers are put by our Re-
publican President. Brevet Brigadier General is
sent to New York to buy carpet for Mrs Grant, We
suppose we will next hear of a Colonel detailed to
stretch the carpets the oor and Captain 70 clean
the White House spittoons! In olden tRles we are
of opinion General in the army would have felt in
suited if he had been ordered to New York on such
commission as that of Porter's butnow-a-days they
seem quite ready to do menai Offices around the per-
son of their Sovereign The simplicity of our Re-
publican Court is fast passing away, and we may soon
expect to see President attended with all the GER
emony of Royalty, with Ladies of the Bedchamber
and Grooms of the Bedchamber, and our Major Gen
erals struggling for the honor of pulling off the Pres
ident's hose and clapping on his night cap Well.
there is no disputing about tastes But we would
suggest to Gen. Porter to adopt coat-ofarms, with
rag carpet of brilliant chain the field, with de-
vice composed of a set Of crinone rampant, and an
epauletted poodle couchant beneath.

SMART BoY.-A sub Committee of q School Board
were examining class in primary school. One OF
the Committee undertook to sharpen up their wits by
propounding the following question: IF had q
mince pic and should give twotwelfhs to John, two
twefths to Isaac, two velfhs to Harry. and should
keep half the pie for myself, what should there be
left?" There was a profound study among all the
scholars but finally one held up his hand as signal
that he was ready to answer. "Wel, sir, what would
there be left? Speak up loud. so that all can hear.
.The plate shouted the little fellow. The Commit
teeaan turned red in the face, while the other men,
bers roared aloud. That boy was excused from an
swering any more questions.

From the general tenor of the subjoined paragraph
from the st. Johnsbury vt Caledonian, it would ap-
pear that it is wise horse that knoweth his own
father:
discovery has been made in regard to the famous
trotting horse Dexter, now owned by Robert Bonner
of the New York Ledger which is destined to crease
little stir among the horse fanciers Of this csun
try and at the time take the credit of that cele
brated horse from the Hambletonian stock where it
has always been awarded and place it to the credit
of the Morrill, blood where it belongs. In short
Dexter was raised in Danye, Caledonia county; his
sire was the old French Morrill, horse, and his dam
the Bovee mare. This, in brief, is the pedigree of
this wonderful horse, the story goes. The person
who has made this discovery is Cornelius Russell,
man who came here from Rockford (nl), last year.
The manner of his discovery, as we understand it,
was in this wise: Russell became impressed with the
similarity of Dexter to the Morrill, stock, and by cor
respondence and inquiry he traced this horse back
from New York to Chicago, from CMcago to Lower
Canada thence to Concord (N H. and from the lat
ter place to Bovee now of Passumsic, but who then
lived in Danville On talking with Bovee the latter
said he raised certain colt such year, which was
an uncommon likely one, and brought him good
price This colt went to Concord IN. J, after which
he lost trace OF him. In describing this colt ne de-
scribed Dexter perfectly and those who have seen
this celebrated horse know that he is peculiarly
marked. In addition to this, we understand Russell
has the affidavit of all the parties through whose
hands Dexter passed from the time he left Bovee un
til he into the possession Of Russell at Chicago.
On learning these facts, Russell purchased the Bovee
mare at once, and together with the Cushman and
Richard Flint horses, which he already owned, start
ed for Illinois. This in briet, is history Cf 1e
its exposure must set up the Morrill, blood, while
those who paid such prices to get the
same breed as Dexter-as they snpposed-must feel
rather cheap.

RADICAL CoNGREssMES GETTING RIcH.-Emil Roth
a distinguished German orator. in a speech at Gin

The NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-A few days
since we received by mail, under the frank of Hon.
John T. briggs. NJ. C., invitation to attend the
Northern pac ic and Michigan Central Railroad Com
veRtion to be held at East Saginaw, Michigan the
22d Of this month. and we are requested to publish
the call for the Convention, which enclosed in
tlu same envelope and TO notice the same from time
to tnic until the day of meeting. We would willing
~ do SO If columns not otherwise more
prod.bly filled, and We had the space spare, but
for such reasons We are compelled TO decline. The
objects of the Convention. specified in the CALL are
praiscworthy ihey being the early completion of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. and the questions to be
there submitted pertinent and to the point, and
the majority Of them could with safety and much
truth he advocated alirmatvcly but while the great
Importance and necessity Of constructing other lines
Of railroad across the continent is admitted by every
body still would most certainly be opposed to the
Government making further grants Of land or subsi
dies for the construction of such additional railroad
facilities. We should Of course advocate the early
construction and completion Of not only the North
ern Pacific but also of the Southern Pacific Railroad,
and believe that Congress would have shown wiser
selection which would have been productive of more
good and real and lasting benefit to the whole coun-
try had they assisted the construction Of the South
