The EXPLORATION of Palestine,

The latest accounts to the London
Times from the Palestine survey corps
reports highly satisfactory progress.
During the month of January, the base
line having been previously measured,
triangulation was carried over near one
hundred square miles, of which eighty
have been filled III and laid down on
the large sheets. The triangulation in
Guided Jaffa. 1t is found to require
great caution and management to get
at the exact names OF places, many of
which Mr.. Drake discovers to have been
laid down wrongly in Van de Veide,
owing to the jealousy and suspicion of
the feEIdHile who think that the survey
is preliminary to the re-conquest of
the country Rock-hewn tombs are
found IN various places. All Daye

North Syria, between Hannah and

like bee-hives or inverted tunnels, are
very common. SubteKraneous store
chambers are also found, and are still
used by the natives. The cisterns and
graves at Daye. Tariff have the same
name (nawamis) as that given by the
Bedouins IN Sinai to the primeval cairns

Memorials of Luther DESTROYED.

A whole collection of relics which it
is impossible to replace, have just be-
come prey to the flames in the city of
Erfurt. There stands the Augustine
monastery, in which Martin Luther
lived and received his first idea of re-
formation, converted at present into an
orphan asylum. A fire suddenly broke
out a few days ago, and has totally
destroyed the most interesting part of
the building, in whichIwas Luther's cell,
and also the room where he first gave
shape to his great scheme. In these
rooms, which have been, up to the latest
time. shown to strangers as curiosities,
Luther's Bible was kept, with marginal
notes in the reformer's own hand
writing, together with tho painting,
deaths Dance, by Beck, and other
valuable relics. All of these have been
burnt. The pecuniary damage is esti-
mated at about 60, 900 tralers, and the
historical loss is incalculable.

A Big Ear-Trumpet.

The hanging reporters gallery, III

over the Speakers chair, III which
some nine or ten persons were some-
times squeezed, having descended into
it by a flight of stairs outside of the
gallery proper, has heen taken down
and in it's stead a canopied sounding
board is placed oter some twenty desks
in the original gallery. It resembles
somewhat in form the covering for the
steersman of a steamship, and is made
of light boards covered with canvas,
and recovered with brown paper, the
whole being nicely painted inside and
out. The enterarce is by door at the
back: IT is big ear-trumpet, as it were,

In Boston clearinghouse, on Fri

At carriage bazaar in London, OF

to the hammer several relics of the
second French Empire, including four
state carriages, sets of harness, &C.,
described in the catalogue as being
"late the property of the ex.Emperor
of the French" The bidding for the
state carriages was far from spirited,

-HiIdebrand K ilIed at Last.
One Of the greatest villains that the
rebellion developed was Hllderbrand-
a man whose name has for years been
a terror upon the Missouri borders,
and who has shed more blood and COM
mittod more crimes than any other OF
the many desperate characters who
have infested Missouri and Kansas dur
ing the last seven years. Agile as
leopard, fearless as lion, bloodthlrsty
as a tiger. possessed of great strength
and endurance, he was just the man to
keep our border set'1 aments III state
of excitement, and t. make h,s very
name feared from 1e Kansas line to
the Mississippi nNer. So numerous
were his crimes that al length the state
authorities were indu ed to
SET PRICE UPON HIS HEAD,
and large reward was offered for the
apprehension of Hildebrand. Backed
by half a dozen scoundrels of like kid
ney, he boldly detied the authorities,
and for time continued his depreda-
tons with impunity. At length
treachery effected what state officials
failed to accomplish, and Hlldebrand
and his gang of cutthroats disappeared
for time from public view. On Tues
day of last week, in company with his
six children and five companions,
they crossed the Mississippi River
and entered the state of Hi
nois, intending to travel quietly
across the peninsula between the Miss
issippi and Ohio rivers, and finally take
up their abiding place in Western Ken
lucky On Thursday the party made
it's appearance in Pinckneyville, Per
CIV county, thirteen miles from this
city, where, being unknown, they felt
themselves secure from pursuit. Or
Friday the party became drunk anc
noisy, fourishing their weapons anc
threatening to clean out the town" A
length Hildebrand, becoming separated
from the rest, was overpowered by mum
bers, and secured, and, upon being
searched,
SIX KNIVES AND TWO PISTOLS
were taken from his person. A office
then started with him towards thu
office Of the police magistrate. The,
had proceeded but short distance
when Hildebrand suddenly drew
knife which he had concealed Ill hi

the officer, striking him in the lef
thigh and inf1ictlng an ugly wound tel
inches in length. The officer fell t.
the ground, but, recovering himself IL
a moment, drew pistol and fired
shooting Hudebrand through The
breast, killing him almost instantly.
At the time of the affray it was not
known who the prisoner was; but hi
children, upon being questioned, saic
their fathers name was Hildebrand
and that he was the man for whom

The effects left by Mr.. Hildebran'
consisted of miscellaneous collection
of articles stolen from the Missourians
and clearly established his identity
His taking off is positive relief to tn

ARE REVIEWER.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation !;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard; I;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR TO its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and l consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

THE BOYD MYSTERY.

cape Of Boyd to Georgia.

We have, says the Knoxville Press and Her
/ aid OF Sunday, but little 70 add Of an impor-
I tant or satisfactory character relative TO the
] Boyd affair, though there is still much specu-
! latiOn in regard 10 many Of the details. Curl
Ostty is still eager 10 know the precise truth Of
the whole transaction,
There being no longer a question in the
minds OF any one who has read or heard the
facts already, in regard 10 BOyd's ruse and es-
cape, the inquiry now Is, whether the two wit
neSSes, Reagan and Hensley, were privy TO the
piOt-including the robbery Of the grave and
burning OF the negrO's body, the alleged seiz-
ure by disguised men, etc-,-Or whether they
were innOcently imposed on by BOvd and his
cOnfederites in the mountain. for tn purpose
of establishing the fact Of his being killed,
and Of being cOrrObOrated 10y the burnt re
mains.
The acquaintance Of the two men, many
Of them, believe this story and think il was
the plan Of Boyd TO have them seized and tied
as reported, SO that they might concientiously
give evidence OF his apparent death. This, for
the present, at least, is the charitable con-
StrucuOn. Others, of course, have their own
and contrary belief
There are various reports Of Boyd having
been seen at different points, going in the
direction Of Georgia. Some have cOujectured
that, from the horse being discovered in the
Bgl1hbOrhOod of Mouse Creek. BOYD was
reckless enough 10 return 10 the neighbOrhOOd
OF the railroad. Others regard the appearance
OF the horse in that neighb0rhOOd, as cOrrObO-
