A correspondent Of the London
Times, writing from Alexandria,
remarks: Fancy mutton fattcned
on ancient Egyptians The other
day, at Sakhara, saw nine camcls
pacing down from the mummy
pits to the bank of the river, laden
with nets, in which were fcmora,
tibia, and other brny bits Of the
human form, some two hundred
weight IN each net on each side OF
the camel Among the pits there
were people bnsily engaged in
searching out, sitting and sorting
the bones, which almost cncrnst
the ground. On inquiry learned
that tho cargocs with which The
camels were laden would be sent
down to Alexandria, and thence DC
shipped to English manure manu-
facturers. They make excellent
manure, lam told. particularly for
Swcdcs aad other t,irnips. The
trade is brisk, and has been going
OH for years, and may go on FOR
many more. 1t Is a strange fatc--
to preserve ones skeleton for thou

may be fine Southdowns and che
vrots In d distant land! But Egypt

Chicago. August l5.-In the Cir
cult Court, this afternoon, Judge
Williams rendered . decision In
the famous Cheney-Whitehouse
case. Application was made to
Judge Williams, last spring, by
counsel Of the Whitehouse side of
the controversy, for an injunction
restraiuing Rev. Charles +. Cheney
from longer preaching in Christ
Church, and the organization from
the further use Of the church prop
crty. The case was argued for sew
erai days, and was taken under ad-
visement by the Court, who gives
his opinion to-day. The Court de-
cided that the objections to the
lbrm Of the original bill were not
veil taken, and were therefore
overruled. His decision embodied
the following points: That the
property, though originally taken
In the name Of the trustees, was IN
fact, taken for the benefit Of all who
should be attached to the discipline
and worship Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church that the prop
erty was held for the benefit Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church and
not for the Low Church party
that all Churches in the United
Stares are regarded in the law only
as voluntary societies, and the laws
and rules Of the Church organisa'
tion arc regarded us stipulation'
between the parties; that the ex
listing can0ns were the stipulation,
by which the Cheney agreed to b,
tried that the Church Court NOR
nearly resembles court Of arbitra
tion than q civil tribunal, and tina
by the law governing similar arbi
trations, all arbitrators must b.
present at the hearing; that tn
court for the first trial Of Mr.. Che
ney consisted Of five assessors, an
four only being present at the tria
and final decision, It was not
court within the meaning Of Churcl
canon, and its action was void
that upon the second trial the couI
had no Jurisdiction upon the sui
ject matter, and Its decision was q
90 void /; that the Bishop had II
power to sentence except in purst
ance Of the finding of Churc
court. and such findings being il
valid, his sentences are also inv'
lid, and Cheney was never legal
deposed from the ministry. Th
bill 10 therefore dismissed for wal
Of equity.

A contemporary notes that we
have become so habituatcd to the
use of the ocean cable, that we
seldom pause 10 consider what We
did In the days (not very long ago(
when II was still thing OF the
future. The Comte dc Paris, In
his late History Of the War Of
Secession" recalls that cru with
singular vividncss by a suggestion
that, after all, n great and henci-
cent invention may exhibit itself
In questionable light. The Illus
trative incident is one which is yet
fresh IN every American memory,
After citing series Of dramatic
circumstances the boarding Ofthc
Trent by the Federal marines, the
quick and fiery indignation Of En-
gland, the stimulus Of the hatred
Of tho richer classes to the North,
the pugnacity Of Palmcrston, the
sending of the Guards to Canada
with thcir bands playing Sim OIL
for Charleston" etc.--the author
says: "Thcrc were two men from
whom o single imprudcnt word
might have caused, at this critical
moment, irreparable evil. These
were Lord Lyons. Minister Of En-
gland ut Washington, and Mr..
Adams, Minister Of America IN
London. They both showed Il
tact aud q skill for which thor fcl-
low citizens should owe them ctcr-
nal gratitude. They had, as an
auxiliary, the Atlantic, which by
imposing OH the communication
between the two countries a delay
of fifteen days, gave time for sal'l-
tary reflections to make themselves
felt on either side. Mr.. Adams
aftcrward told the author, who
was Mt the time at Washington,
that if the transatlantic cable had
then existed, war would have been
inevitable.
