Embalming.

A London journal, discussing the sub
ject of cmbalming, presents some state
ments which seem To show that the appli-
cation of heat to bodies filled with btumen
was the essential part of the Egyptian
mummifying process--that, in fact, the
mummies owe their preservation TO creo-
sote, formed by the application of great
heat to the bitumen. Ii appears that all
the substances found within mummies are
of a resinous nature. but their mere intro
duction into the great cavities of the body.
along with external lotions OF wine, would
answer the purpose of embalming. seems
contrary to fact. Many, II not all the
mummics, have their muscular tissue inn
prcgnated with rcsnous matter: most are
also blackened and burned, and IN some
the tissues have been reduced 70 ashes.
The inner bandages are generally ia a
state resembling finder: and as u seems
absurd TO suppose that the application oi
heat was without some practical object. a
rational conclusion Is that. by means OF IT,
the body became imprcgnated with creo,
sote, derived from the decomposition OF
the bitumen and bandagcs with which II
was previously covered.

The instance which came under the OBJ
seryation OF the Times reporter involved
case OF imaginary hydrophobia. The
victim TO his own conceit In this case was
a well known citizen of Carrollton. He
had been reading about hydrophobia. as
recently developed In New York, and the
impression made filled his mind with
frightful pictures of mortal agony. He
then read portion OF a medical work on
the subiect-when instantly he became
seized with the earlier symptoms OF the
disease. His aversion for water was al
most maniacal. and the sight of a dog
would throw him into the most repulsive
convulsion. After the first outbreak he
was quieted. but still he was absorbed i'm
the horrible fantasies created by the inn
agination. The morning succeeding the
day of his first attack. he arose from his
bed with a wild and haggard expression,
and refused to taste food or drink. After
time he became very excitable. and a
twitching of the muscles once more be-
trayed the strength of the impression
made on his fancy. This was his con-
dition for two successive days and nights
during which time sleep never visited his
eyes, and he rolled in his bed like mad
man. The slightest circumstance would
brighten him almost into commissions. and
if only fly approached his bed he would
shrek like one possessed. On the third
day he was induced TO eat some fruit,
and remained quiet for a few hours. when
his muscles again began TO witch, and he
threw himself on the floor, where he
snarled and barked like a dog. Having
beer again quieted. some medicine was
offered him. but it was oily after violent
struggling that he was forced 10 allow it,

and snow-white froth gathered on his lips.
Another night of sleeplessness and fearful
agony passed away, and the morning
found him somewhat improved. But his
old aversion for food. or anything of
liquid character. was still extant. and two
negro boys were constantly in the room
with fly brushes keeping the flies away.
Some purgative medicine was again forced
upon him, which threw him once more
into spasms that raised foam on his
mouth. This spasm, however, was of
short duration. and was succeeded by
nervous calm. He was then taken 10 the
house of friend, but in his passage
through the street the twisting Of the
muscles was again revived, and care had
TO be taken that nothing canine or aque-

During this time his countenance pre-

The results of the Augusta cotton
factory enterprise are such as to encour-
age the Southern people TO further efforts

the South on the North for manufactured
products was shown strikingly during the
war. when, with cotton in abundance, the
wealthiest citizens We're obliged To pur-
chase at enormous gold prices clothing
brought over In blockade runners, while
the poorer classes wore the toughest OF
homespun. Since the war several praise
worthy efforts have been made by South
ern capitalists 10 render their section indie

enterprises IS the Augusta cotton factory,

thousand dollars were ever paid in. and the
