A woafArrs RUsE-A VICTIM OF
oTRCuMsTANTrAL EVIDENCE.


James Harris kept public house
within eighteen miles of York, Eng
land, having in his service man
named Morgan, who to his other oc-
equations added that of gardner. 1t
happened that one Grey, a black
smith, journeying on foot to Edin-
burgh, supped and slept at this pub
lie house. Next morning, Morgan
deposed before d magistrate that his
master strangled Grey in bis bed
that he actually saw him commit the
murder--that hein vain, endeavored
to prevent it, his master insisting
that the man was in fit, and that
he was merely endeavoring to assist
him. Morgan further swore, effect
ing to believe this, he left the room
but, after retiring, looked through
the key-hole, and saw the murderer
rife the pockets of the deceased
Harris, as we'll as he might, vehe-
mently denied the Iaccusation, and,
hapless for himself, threatened a
prosecution for perjury. AS no
mark Of violence was found to be
visible on the body, Harris was on
the point of being discharged, when
the maid servant demanded to be
heard. She swore that from a wash
house, as she was descending the
stairs, she saw her master take
some gold from his pocket, and, hav-
ing carefully wrapped it up, bury it
under tree in the garden, the posi-
ton of which she indicated. Upon
this, Harris turned pale; and the
earth under the tree having been
searched by constable, ESQ in gold
we're found to be wrapped up in
paper. Harris then admitted that
he had buried the money for securi-
TVS sake, but answered in SO confus~
cd manner, that he was commit
ted. He was tried at York for the
murder. Tho man, the maid, the
constable, and the magistrate were
all examined, and no suspicion at

Heretofore the crowning age of Egypt
has been referred to the reigns of the
Pharoahs. This proves to be mistake.
That was probably the age Of the great
est political power, but, compared with
the remains then two thousand years old,
we find great falling off in the arts Of
that time. Between the tenth and the
eighteenth dynasties there is long pc
riod of rested progress. The Hyksos, of
the Shepherd Kings, invaded Egypt 1000
years B. c., and ruled the country for
500 years Who they were was not
known until Marryat discovered some
statues of their Kings, by which it seems
quite certain that they were wandering
Tartar race from Central Asia. The
subsequent rebellion against them by the
Egyptians, after rule OF 500 years,
affords powerful illustration of the vi
talty of national sentiment among the
Egyptians. King Amoses began later

in every way inferior.
Egypt it was that gave letters to the
Phenecians, astronomy to the Chal.
deans, art to the Greeks and the rite of
circumcision to the Hebrews. After the
rebellion against the shepherds, there
grew up second power. The descend
ants o. the old rulers reascended the
throne, and became conquerors in re-
turn. Their kings went abroad them
selves in search Of conquest, but they
closely guarded their territory. at home
against the intrusion of foreigners.
Even the Israelites who followed Joseph
into Egypt were confined to the land Of
Goshen. The prevention of new inva-
sion was at the bottom of their exclusive
policy. When this policy became weak

Cambyses Egypt never possessed more
than the mere shadows of her former ex-
istence. An age OF development must be
accompanied by intellectual freedom.
We have, therefore, the right to assume
that the forces OF the main elements OF
civilization were stronger in the earlier
than in the later dynasties of ancient
Egypt.

Interest will be found in the following

ness. The dog, however, got well and
remained in perfect health. This fact
excited Mr.. Jitzkis surprise. On insti-
tuting an inquiry, he presently encoun-
tered woman who. having once been
bitten by a venomous serpent, and after
ward by mad dog, escaped any i'll
consequence from the second bite. From
these rather narrow data Mr.. Jitzki was

led to conclude that there is probably
some antagonism between the venom OF
a poisonous serpent and the virus OF a
mad dogs saliva. He imagines some
such relations to exist here as between
the active principle of contagion in the
smallpox and the cow-pox Surprising
this to be the case, he imagines that
immunity from hydrophobia may be Sc.
cured by innoculating human beings
with serpent poison before they have
been exposed to the bites of mad dogs.
There are perhaps timid or fastidious
persons who would esteem remedy like
that here proposed to be worse than the
disease. And others might be disposed
to take their moderate chances of death
by hydrophobia, which are perhaps about
one in one hundred million, rather than
to run the risk Of going off prematurely
by so ignominious cause as the poison
of serpent Mr.. Jitzki, however, is not
disposed to relinquish his hope of being
recognized as second Jenner for lack
of perseverance,. He notified the society
that before leaving the country he had
taken measures to catch and shut up
considerable number of the poisonous
reptiles, to whose bites he intended to
submit all animals in his neighborhood
which should happen hereafter to be
bitten by mad dogs.

Ancient EgHpt.

1t is not generally understood, that
woman in Ancient Egypt was honored
and respected equally as man. There
was among Egyptians lofty .appreeia-
ton of the marriage tie. The wife S
name was often placed before that of
the husband, and the sons often bear the
names of the mothers, instead of those
of the fathers. Women often sat upon
the throne and administered all the
affairs of the Government. The asser-
ton we so often hear in these days that
woman has always occupied q position
Of subjecton to man is glaringly false.
In ancient Egypt he possessed no i'm
portant right which was not equally
shared with her. 1t is impossible to look
upon the statues of that period, and
not feel what high degree of culture
was fairly claimed by the race. The
very household furniture is such as one
might buy this day. We find, among
other things, boards for checkers, paint
boxes, knives, needles, pomatum boxes,

Frequently medicines that will stop cough
will occasion the death of the patient; they
lock up the liver. stop the circulation Of the
blood. hemorrhage follows, and in fact, they
clog the action of the very organs that caused
the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the
causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consump
tion. Many persons complain. of dull pain
in the side, constipation, coated tongue, pain
in the shoulder blade, feelings of drowsiness
and restlessness, the food lying. heavily on
the stomach, accompanied with acidity and
belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition Of the stomach or tor
pid liver.
Persons so affected, if they take one or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases
be suddenly checked, will find the stomach
and liver clogged, remaining torpid and mac
tive, and almost before they are aware the
lungs are mass OF sores, and liberated, the
result of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expecto-
rant which does not contain opium or any
thing calculated to check a cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the
food. mixes with the gastric juices OF the
stomach, aids digestion, and creates raven

When the bowels are costive, skin salIow. or

SUPERIOR DISTRICT COURT.

Among other business transacted Monday
morning in this court was a rule taken by the
Sheriff. through his attorney, Mr.. .. J. Ellis
to compel the clerk of the court to issue writs
of tieri .tacias in the city tax cases-sonle ten
thousand in numbcr-which writs, the public
viii remember. were suspended by the City
Council few days since.
The clerk OF the court accepted service OF
the rule, and at once submitted the same
The rule was made absolute, and the clerk
directed to issue al the writs. 1t seems rath-
ec singular that the city was not made g party
to the rule. and more strange still that these
writs should be issued in direct opposition to
tie instructions Of the Council.
We have always understood that the plaintiff
in judgment was the only party interested, or
had the right to sign for or order MI. IL.
We would ike to be informed by what au-
thority the Sheriff has proceeded i'll the mat
ter Of the tax writs, without the consent Of the
city, through her legal representatives, or the
order OF the Administrator of Finance.
Since writing the above we learn TINT the
rule referred to was, upon the motion OF MI.
Ellis, for the Sheriff, rescinded, be having as
certained that the Council desired a stay OF
proceedings in suits for taxes of 1874. Mr..
Ellis explains that the Sheriffs rule was sim
ply to cause writs to be placed in his hands
which were issued sometime ago, in conform
ity with the order Of the citys legal advisers,
and which we1e still in the hands Of the Clerk.
The city was not made party, because it was
purely matter, Mr.. Ellis says. between the
Sheriff and the Clerk. The City Attorney,
he asserts, j. not authorized to stay
proceedings unless by special res
olution of the Council, and in his
order he must quote such resolution. This
had not been done 10 the knowledge OF the
Sheriff, ard hence the rule for the transfer OF
the writs from the hands Of the Clerk to the
Sheriff.
