EmbaIming Among the Egyptians.

The Egyptians, however carried their process
to perfection by introducing antiseptics into the
vacated interiors Of their dead, thus embalming
in their catacombs, it is estimated, not less than
40O0O0,OO0 persons. Herodotus and Diodorus
Sicuus, especially the former, have minutey
expainly the method Of preservation, and from
them we learn that il was regular trade. The
embamerz removed the brain and the intestinez
supplying the emptiness with myrrh, cassa. and
other spices, and then placed the body in natron
for seventy days. Subsequently it WIS carefully
laved and wrapped with bandages of fine linen
smeared with gum, and put i'll wooden case
shaped after the human figure. There were
other modes of eHbalming less expensive. the
rate varying from $500 to 800 in our currency,
which was 80 much money in those days that we
can not see how Egyptians of the ordinary class
could possibly afford to de- They doubtless
lived longer than they would have done other
wise, prompted by prudent economy to avoid
the extravaganza Of burial as long as possible.
The cheapest way of embalming, adopted by
the poor, was to free the abdomen of the ntes-
tines by means of clyster-commonly the oil of
the eedar-tree and let the body lie in natron
| until the flesh was impregnated. Recent Inyes-
| legations indlc~te that heat must have been
applied to the corpees after they had been filled
with some bituminous substance, and creohote
generated and dffused through all the tissues
The reason that heat was not mentioned by the
ancient authorities il supposed to he their de-
dignity and mystery of the art.
Embalming Is still employed. The mean,
adopted by Chaussier and others have been t
evscerate the body and keep it constantly satu
rated with protochloride of mercury. The salt
combining with the flesh, not only gives it firm
ness, but renders it incoruptible either by inter
nal or external agencies. The injection into tin
VEINS of concentrated solution of sulphate o
alumnia, or of chloride of mercury and wood
vinegar, or of sulphate of zinc has been foun
very effective not only for anatomical purposes
I but also for embalming.

the SheriIfaIIY.

1t it satisfactory to learn from the lower hun
dreds Of this county that there il no disposition
amongst Republicans there to give ANYTHING less
than warm and earnest support to the party
candidate for Sheriff, Mr.. Martin. There was
strong feeling of disappointment amongst the
supporters Of Mr.. Hukil at his failure to receive
the nomination, bat this does not prevent their
giving TO Mr.. Martin their votes and influence.
So far as the patronage of the Sherif's office
Is concerned, the experience of the COMMERCIAL
has been very little more satisfactory under the
present incumbent, who was elected as Repub-
lican, and whose election we, of course, earnest
ly advocated, than under his predecessors who
we're Democrats. In other words Sheriff Arm
strong chooses to entirely prescribe this news
paper, and to throw all the patronage within his
control into the lap of the Republican. Ignor-
ing this act of hostility, however, and disregard
ing the question whether Republican sheriffs
might be expected to fairly treat both Republi.
can newspapers, we are glad 10 see the
evidences referred to that Mr. Martin will re,
ceive the full party vete of the county. Har
mony upon the nomination for Sheriff will hell
to harmonize on other nominations. and b.sidei
that, Mr.. Martin himself has been patient, stead
fast, and earnest ,as Republican and deserve
the full party support This he will no doub
receive, from present prospects, insuring hi
election by decided majority.

live Weight of Animals.

In many neighborhoods fat cattle are sold at
80 much per hundred pounds of dressed weight,
and the proportion which the dressed weight
shall bear to the live weight is fixed at the time
Of sale. This proportion usually varies from
afty to ffty-six pounds dressed to one hundred
Of live weight il will, of course, vary with the
condition of the animal as to fatness poor one
may not dress fifty pounds per hundred of live
weight, and cases are on record Of seventy hav-
ing been reached. This plan of selling has al
ways been unsatisfactory to the farmer. for the
superior Judgment Of the butcher always gives
him the advantage, and the farmers profits are
often cut down very materially by having to drive
the cattle considerable distance before they
are weighed thus driving OFF live weight with
out any material loss in dressed weight. From
recorded lists at the abattoirs OF both Paris and
Brussels it would seem that the following pro-
portions may be taken az an average of very
large number Of cattle. To Use the common
phrase the animals were weighed ''empty'

cattle weighed 6si6 lbs, and when killed ant

dressed made 1850 lbs. Of beef, and 264 lbs. Of

bullock weighed 1880 lbs. alive, and dresse,
2455 lbs. Of beef. Taking the average OF thes

one nominating Governor John F. Hartranft for
President, in 1876 This resolution, though
meeting with some opposition in the Convention
received an overwhelming and enthusiastic ma
