About eighteen miles from Port Glib

the existence Of. a great number Of
blocks of out stone has been known
for an indefinite time, and the people in
the neighborhood have used them for
props for their houses. Mr. James
Gage. Jr., went out there few days
ago to explore, and had specimen
stone brought into town. 1t is about
three feet long BY about twenty inches
square, resembling in shape q, bar Of
soap. It is probably native sand
stone. Mr.. Gage took this block him
self from beneath the roots Of large
pine tree. Il formed, portion Of q
wall about twenty feet broad on the
top. which Mr.. Gage traced for dis
tance 81 260 yards. fhe Inference that

The Funeral Of the Khedive's
Daughter, All

The funeral of the Princess Hanem
Zeinub, favorite daughter of the Khe-
dive of Egypt, who died recently in
Alexandria, at the age of Is years, was
attended with ceremonies of a most
magnificent description. The Khedive
and his family. as we'll as his guest, the
Sultan of Zanzibar, and the whole city
of Alexandra, were much disturbed by
the sad event, and the theatre was
closed for three days. The body was
taken to Cairo the same day and placed in
the. Ksar el.Nil palace. The interment
took place in the Rilah mosque on the
following morning j Tventy-four bull
locks, thirty camels and twenty wagons
were in the funeral procession. These
animals we're laden with bread, dates,
cooked meats and vegetables the
wagons carried casks Of water and Of
syrup, and all along the route distri-
button Of the provisions was made to
the poor. Eunuchs, meantime, threw
$50. 900 pieces Of silver coin to the
people who thronged the street Three
thousand priests. some clad in rich
vestments Of. gold and silk. others half
naked, followed the wagons, repeating
prayers as they marched, and clapping
their hands. After them came the
family Of the poor young Princess and
the high officials Of state, and then the
coffin, borne by officers of rank. Be-
hind this walked three 5eunuchs, bear
ing on golden shovels copies Of the
Koran, to be- buried with the deceased.
The coffin was Of simple rough-hcwn
wood, and the corpse was sewed up in
linen cloth. Upon the coffin was
placed the jewels Of the Princess worth
a million and half dollars. After the
burial the priests slaughtered the twen-
ty-four bullocks before the mosque,
roasted them and ate them up. The
priests remained for seven days in the
neighborhood Of the grave to pray for
the soul Of the departed.

SUCCESS. Purposes. however wise,
without plans. cannot be relied on for
good results. Random or spasnodic
efforts, like aimless shots, are usually
no better than wasted time and strength.
The purposes Of shrewd men in the
business Of this life are always followed
by carefully formed plans. Whether
the object is isarnipg, honor. or wealth,
the ways and means are all laid out ac-
cording to the best rules and methods.
The mariner has bis chart. the archi-
lteet his plan. and the sculptor his
model, and all a. q means and condition
Of success. Invention, genius, or even
what is sometimes called inspiration,
can do little ID any department Of theo-
rstic Or practical science. except as il
works BY well-formed plan. Then
every step is an advance toward the &C.
complishmens Of the object. Every
tack Of the ship made according to nau-
tical. .law keeps her, steadily nearing the
port. Each stroke of the chisel brings
the marble into . closer likeness of the
model. No effort or time Is lost, for
nothing is done rashly or st random.

nave l20 feet in width, and extending
l $40 feet 10 length. This is the long
est avenue Of that width ever intro
duced into an Exhibition Building.
On either side of this nave there is an
avenue 100 feet BY 1,640 feet in length.
Between the nave and side avenues are
aisles 48 feet wide, and on the outer
sides Of the building smaller aisles "a
feet in width.
In order to break the great length OF
the roof lines, three cross avenues or
~transepts have heen introduced of the
same widths and in the same relative
positions to each other as the nave aud
avenues running leugthwise, viz: a
central transept 120 feet in width by
14l6 feet in length with one on either
side Of 100 feet by 416 feet, and aisles
between of 48 feet.
The intersections of these avenues
and transepts in the central portion OF
the building result in dividing the
ground floor into nine open spaces free
from supporting columns. and covering
in the aggregate an area of 416 feet
square. -Four Of these spaces are 100
feet square. four 100 feet by 100 feet,
and the central space or, pavilion 12O
