THE PYRAMIDS. - The immense stones used
in the erection of the pyramids of Egypt were
obtained from the quarries in the Arabian
hills, and were carried to the river, and over
bridge of boats. They weie then brought
forward by means Of catiseway, which of
itself took ten years to construct, and which
is said to have been a fine work with its pol
ish stones and figures of animals engraven
upon them. One hundred thousand men were
employed at time, and these were relieved
by the same number at the end of three
months. A long time was spent in the level
ing of the rock on which the edifice stands,
and twenty years for the erection of the pyra-
mid itself. The stones we're raised step by
step by means of machine made of short
pieces of wood, and, last of ALL commencing
from the top, the stones were cemented to-
gether with layer of cement not thicker
than piece Of paper, the strength of which
is proved by the ngc of these enormous me-
morials.

MISCELLANY.

ANEcDoTE or DnG.--A gentleman ac-
qnaintod with the Newfoundland fishery was
o ace possessor Of dog of singular fidelity and
sagaeity. On one occasion boat and crew
in his employ were in circumstances Of con-
siderable peril, just outside line of break
ers Withdrawing to some change in wind or
weather--had since the departure Of the boat,
rendered the return passage through them
most hazardous. The spectators on shore
were quite unable to render any assistance to
their friends afioat. Much time had been
spent, and the danger seemed to increase rath-
or than diminish. Our friend, the dog, look
cd on for a length Of time, evidently being
aware Of their being great cause for anxiety
in those around. Presently, however, he took
to the water, and made his way through to
The boat. The crew supposed be wished to
join them, and made various attempts to in
dnce him to come aboard but no, he would
not go within their reach, but continued swim
ming about short distance from them. At
ter while, with several comments on the pc
culiar conduct OF the dog, one Of the hands
suddenly OWNED his apparent meaning.
"Give him the end of a rope" he said,
that is what he wants. I" The rope was
thrown-the dog seized the end in ali instant,
turned around and made for shore, where
few minutes afterward boat and crew--thanks
to the intelligence of their four-footed friend
--worc placed safe and unchanged. Was
there no reasoning here ? No acting with a
view to an end, or for a given motive? Or
was it nothing but ordinary instinct?

DISTRICT AFFAIRS.
Amendment OF the Tax-saie Law.

A. q. Riddle, esq, District Attorney, has for
wardcd TO the Commissioners the form Of bill 10
amend the iih section Of tho act for the support OF
the government of the District Of Columbia for the
fiscal year ending June 30 1875 relative TO proceed
ings by tho District TO enforce Its liens against prop
erty purcha sed by Il at tax sales He states: 81 am
satisfied tAat the proceeding would be greatly fa-
cilitatcd by an amendment. The law looks upon
this District ny compulsory purchaser al tax sales
TO save itself. In the act submitted II Is not re-
gurdGd as the owner VI the land purchased. nor Is
Il ever to become such but merely the holder OF the
lien to the extent OF its debt penalty and costs This
section furnishes the means of enforcing the lien.
This Is bv the institution Of proceeding In form
Of suit In equity; II must make parties who
seem to have any right in or claim to the property,
and all these It must look up, The plan proposed
Is to issue n warrant and let the marshal 20 upon
the premises, declare u seizure and notify whom
ever he finds In possession that he has seized Il;
then notify the party IN whose name the property
stood and publish notice for tho benefit of known
and unknown claimants and permit them TO inter.
vene and defend, Then when sale Is made, as in
the nature Of sales In rem, the thing goes stripped
of all claims and the sale Is the new and certain
source of title. This effect the present law tries 10
give to the sales but II Is an awkward thing u do
BY the ordinary equitable proceeding to conclude
possible owners not made parties; trouble which
does not attend the seizure and sale OF the thing 81
proposed"
