New YOrk's Obelisk.

The obelisk which New York is t.
obtain from Egypt is seventy-twc
feet high, with q base seven fee
seven inches square. It was quarried
at Assouan, or Syene, in uppe,
Egypt, whence the name of the
granite called syenite. With its
companion monolith, which has just
been conveyed to London, it was first
erected, at Heliopolis in the six
teenth century before our era. It is
therefore thirty-fve centuries old.
The inscriptions assign to it the
reign of Thothmes ILL.,, whom some
of the arch@ologists suppose the
Pharaoh of Hebrews. In the first
century before our era it was con-
veyed from Heliopolis to Alexandria,
and set UP in front of the temple
which that city erected to Augustus
Caesar. .'.
Soldiers!" exclaimed Napoleon,
when addressing his troops at the
battle of Pyramids, remember that
from these SUBMITS forty centuries
look down upon YOU" A monolith
is coming to our shores which will
be to every ono Who looks~upoA. itA
wondrous thing of memory and sug-
gestion. "We know" says the
Tribune" we know, we do not
guess, but absolutely kno,u-that the
eyes of Moses and Aaron have looked
upon it, and doubtless read its
hieroglyphic columns; that Rameses
the Great (Sesostis), had his kingly
banner carved upon it; that Darius,
Cambyses, Alexander the Great, the
Ptolemies, julius Caesar, Cleopatra.
Mark Antony and Augustus knew it;
that it was equally known and be-
held of Pythagoras, Herodotus aud
Strabo; that long procession of the
mc st illustrious characters of the
Middle Ages have passed before it
from the days of Clement and An
nstasius to those of Don John Of
Austria; and, finally, that it was the
first herald os Egypt to Napoleon
and Mohammed Ali" To possess
such q monument is an enterprise
worthy of the greatest city of the new
world. Forty centuries hence it may
still exist, daily reminder to mil
lions, of the vast sweep history,
and no mean agent in the intellectu-
al development of men from gener-
alton to generation.

posed of men elected by the pro-
vincial states from among the most
highly assessed inhabitants. The
second chamber is chosen by general
ballot, but only those persons can
vote who pay annual tax rates Of at

thus having exclusive control, keep
down the expenses and the taxes to
the lowest point; and the poorest Of
the Dutch enjoy, even more than
the rich, the benefits of this close

public servants is moderate. but
sufficient to secure the best talent

How Western Man Got Fast Ride.

A gentleman from the West recently
took his wife to Newport for holiday.
Going to livery stable near the Ocean
House he engaged horse for ride in
the afternoon. AS he left the stable he
caught glimpse of small boy with
blue trousers, red suspenders, dirty
shirt and straw hat. At the appointed
hour the gentleman saw fine horse
standing in front Of the hotel with the
reins in the hands of small boy with
blue trousers, red suspenders, a dirty
shirt and straw hat. "You have nv
horse, see," said he to the lad, and, after
fetching his wife from the parior, started
