man and French ambassadors presented
remOnstrances to the porte against the re-
lease of persons condemned to five years
penal servitude, for the murder of the
German and French consuls at Salonica,

might force Germany to have recourse to
other measures.
The porte has sent note to the Khedive

years ago the only one which had
been discovered. AS there was no
other bust with a similar type OF
features and arrangement OF the hair
with which to compare it, its value
was not recognized. Fifteen years
ago stir was made in the Sclentlhc
world by the discovery in Egypt OF
sphinxes and sculptured groups belong
ing to the age of the Shepherd Kings.
These had previously been supposed
to be barbarians, during whose reign
all arts and science were destroyed.
They came from Asia, and like, the
hordes of Attila conquered the country
and establish themselves here. One
of these Kings, Apepi, is supposed to
be the one under whom Joseph was
Prime Minister. He erected temple
to the god Suketh at Tanis, his capital
in opposition to Osiris, the national
divinity of the Egyptians. This
temple, like all those Of the first order,
was ornamented by an avenue of
sphinxes, four of which were found
at Tanis by Signor Marietta Bey.
They bear the name of Apepi, and
instead of the usual mode Of dressing
the hair, have it arranged in sixteen
curls, eight behind and four on either
side of the face; the upper lip being
shaved and the long beard cut in
waves in a very peculiar manner.
The lineaments of the face are also
very different from other Egyptian
busts and from the race now existing,
while the very type of these recently
found portraits is now to be seen near
the Lake Mengalch, in Egypt. These
people are no doubt the descendants
of the Shepherd race. 4 colossal
group in gray granite of two men with
the same unusual lineaments and
arrangement Of the hair, and similar
granite statue of King covered with
tiger-skins. together with four sphin-
Xes, were the only known relics of the
time of the Shepherd Kings about
whom so little has heretofore been
known to the students of ancient
Egyptian history. To these may now
be added, by the important discovery
Of NJ. LIE Normant, this bust in the
Villa Ludovisi. 1T is of the same
material as the colossal group found
of features. the attitude, and the
attire are the same. The learned
archaologist supposed that this bust
formed part of a similar group which
stood near or opposite the other in the
temple at Tanis. He supports this
opinion also by a fracture existing in
this bust where there was evidently
at one time an extended arm, in nearly
the same position as those of the group
at Tams, who offer each other the
fruits of the Delta, having the arms
extended and holding plates in the
hand.
Thus this almost forgotten piece of
sculpture was probably once part OF
the magnificent temple built by the
patron of Joseph to his god Suketh, a
deity imported into Egypt from Asia
and similar to Baal.

Fort Walsh dates to the 18th ult. report
Sitting Bull stillencamped, on the Domln-
ion side, at point near Horse Buttes, l2O
miles from Fort Walsh, and 40 from Wood
Mountain. He had no desire to go on the
war path, but wanted to remain under
British protection.
Sitting Bull says he is willing to call
himself the erringest kind of brother If
the government will put him back on the
annuity list, and he'll lift the scalp of the
first bare legged son of squaw that

1t is remarkable fact, which we cannot
explain, that the boy who does not know
that the gun is loaded, is nevertheless al

this little arrangement, and reverse 1t oc-

EGYPTIAN ART.

A remarkable study of an Egyptian
antiquity in Rome has just appeared
in the latest number of the ArchRol-
ogical Bulletin of Rome, written by
the distinguished French archpologist
+. LIE Norman. He thinks he has
discovered one of the rarest existing
sculptures in the gallery of the
Ludovisi villa. which occupies the
sites of the ancient gardens of Sallust.
When the land of the Pharaohs fell
into the power Of the Caesars it became
the custom to transport the products
of Egyptian art to Italy as ornaments
of the houses, villas. and palaces. The
Egyptian workmen wrought the
hardest substance with wonderful
Skill. their art presenting peculiar
characteristics derived from the
traditions of ages long past. Greek
and Roman travellers made the tour of
Egypt to visit the wonderful temples
Of Thebes and Memphis. and left
their names cut on those ancient
monuments. where they may still be
seen when not obliterated by modern
travellers. On their return they
brought with them such objects as
they could conveniently carry as
curlosities, and these are now found
in almost every part OF the Roman
Empire when excavations are made.
1t was this admiration of Egyptian
articles which induced the Roman
Emperors to transport the enormus
obelisks to Rome at great expense,
sometimes building ships expressly
for that purpose. The ship built by
Caligula is said by Pliny to have been
nearly as long as the left side of the
port Of Ostia. The Emperors even
ordered some obelisks to be made in
imitation of the antiques. and one of
these. dedicated by Hadrian and
Sabina to their beloved Antinous. who
was drowned in the Nile. still exists
on the Pincian Hills.
The worship of Egyptian divinities.
which extended through the Roman
Empire, so that almost every city has
its temple to Isis and Osiris. caused
the admiration for Egyptian articles
to increase. The walls of these tenn
pies were ornamented in the Egyptian
style. but often with little pictorial
skill. by Roman artists. But the
attractions of the shrine were increas-
ed by some statue or column of real
Egyptian workmanship, the hieroglyp-
hics of which were as great mystery
to the priest as to the people. Thus.
as time passed and these temples fell
into ruins. many objects of rare Egyp-
tain workmanship were buried in the
soil. The rich Museum of the Vatican
is almost entirely formed Of objects
found in Rome. the fashion then ex-
listing explaining their presence here.
Among the rarest of these objects
found in Rome is a bust which has
formed part of the Ludovisi collection
from its beginning.
Rome is indebted to foreigner for
having discovered the value of this
important relic, which has heretofore
been neglected, it being the only one
of its kind in Europe, and until few

AS we are informed by telegraph
from San Francisco. the total amount
of sales ofthe Big Stock Board for the
past year was figured up yesterday.
The figures show a steady decline since
1874. In round numbers the sales in
1874 aggregated two hundred and sixty
millions; in 1875, two hundred and
twenty millions; in 1876. two hundred
and twenty-five millions; and in 1877.
one hundred ard nineteen millions.
Here is a falling off of one hundred
millions during the past year. 1t may
be accounted for, we think, on the
ground that ~ Witnessed no great
stock excitement. rather than to a de-
cline of the speculative spirit of the
people. The dall times aud universal
scarcity of money doubtless also had
much to do with reducing the volume
of business. II, as is generally believed,
we are on the eve Of another upheaval
in stock values, the record of the in
coming year is likely to approximate
the transactions of '74r5. Whether
real or imaginary. 1t appears true thai
when the stock market is at a low ebb,
all other business on this toast is cor
res~pondinsly depressed. This results
from the fact, most probably, that
pretty much all else is dependent on
the mining interests for support. The
relations are so intimate that the pros
tration of mining affairs means CORE
spondingly hard times in all other
pursuits,

TURNING STATES EVIDENCE.

william E. Chandler, Secretary OF
the Republican National Committee
has published a letter admitting that
Mr.. Hayes succeeded to the Presidency
through fraud, and that Mr.. Tilden
was fairly elected, and is entitled to the
Chief Magistracy Of the nation. Will
liam E. is a nephew of Zach Chandler,
Chairman of the Committee. He was
on the inside in the late campaign, and
doubtless knows the truth whereof he
speaks. His position entities his dis
closures to great weight. The Chan
dlers-Zach and William, Chairman
and Secretary Of the Republican Com.
mittee-probably come as near know
ing just how Hayes was made Presi.
dent as any other two men in the
nation. Now that these insiders have
commenced to turn States evidence,
we may expect soon to have the whole
story. This letter Of the Secretary oil
the Committee is likely to create quite
q breeze throughout the country, and
the strange spectacle of a PresidenI
stepping down and out may yet trans
pire. Things are looking a bit squall,

planting hedges for protection against
