w0men's Rights in Ancient Egypt.

We are not perhaps accustomed to
think Of ancient Egypt as very adj
vanced and liberal country. II is GER
tain. however, that ladies' had no
cause to make one of the complaints
which is often heard in modern Eng
land. Women might not only hold
property, but they often absorbed all
the wealth OF their husbands. There ia
IN the Egyptian museum of the Louvre
collection Of legal documents from
the time of Alexander the Great to the
twentieth year OF Ptolemy Energetes.
These documents, which are family
contracts, wills, deeds, etc., have late
ly been deciphered by M. Rsvillont.
He has traced the legal existence of
several generations, and thrown great,
perhaps unexpected, light on the histo.
ry of female property. Il seems that
husbands always ceded all their wealth.
real and personal, to their wives, who
disposed of it in turn to the children of
the marriage or to nephews. A widow
was thus left in comfortable and even
commanding position. Let us take
the case of Patma, who, on his marriage
with lady named Taoutem, made her
a bridal gift, perhaps answering to the
morning gift" of the Germans and the
Hindoo gift by the nuptial fire. He
also promised to make Taoutem small
yearly allowance, on the security of
his property. Three years later we
find poor Patma deep in his wife's debt,
and he promises to yield up all he has,
If he has not cleared himself in three
years. A later papyrus shows that
Patma had to sell all his possessions,
which are carefully inventoried, and
that he satisfied the claims of his wife
at this alarming sacrifice. Examples of
this kind are common. Husbands
We're ruthlessly "sold up" and proper
ty was concentrated in female hands.
The husband, poor fellow, often in
serted clause in the marriage con-
tract, by which he stipulated that his
wife should maintain him in his old
age. Diordorus Siculus, we believe,
mentioned these facts, but it was sup
posed that it was only Diordorus' fun;
mere travellers tale. The new papy-
ri demonstrate beyond all doubt that
man has often been in times past a
wronged and submissive being.-Lon-

In Baltimore, some sixteen years
ago, private soldier, a little the worse
for liquor, stepped up to a group of
gentlemen in front of the Eutaw
House, and announced that he had
placed his trust in Ulysses Grant. "
No attention was paid to him at first,
but he repeated loudly. Gentlemen,
/ place my trust in Ulysses Grant"
At this a clergyman felt bound to rea-
son with him, and said, Its all very
well to have faith in your general, my
boy, but your trust should be in a
higher power, Now, 1 have the ut
most confidence in General Grant, but
1 place my trust in God" "That's
where you're wrong, old man." said
the soldier, "and I'll tell you why, I
put my trust in Ulysses Grant. If he
fails me, l fall back on God. Suppose
God fails you, where's your reserve ?"-

John Wylie and Isaac Crozier, laboring

Nineteenth ward, the former living al
1886 and the latter at l42I, were in
the tavern of Michael Carr, 1740 North
Second street. Both men had been
imbibing pretty freely during the day,
and were in quarrelsome moods. While
drinking at the bar a quarrel arose he
tween them for the settlement for the
drinks, and soon they came to blows.
T he proprietor forbade them fighting
in the room, and so they ad-
journed to the back yard to
tight it out. They were followed by
several of the tavern loungers present,
who desired to witness the encounter.
Upon reac ming the yard the men clinch-
ed and both iell, Crozier falling under
leath. Wylie was then dragged of,
but it was found that Crozier was una
BILE to get up. He was carried into the
bar room and physician sent for, but
before the latter arrived he expired. An
examination Of the body showed nc
marks of violence, except black eye,
and death must have been the result
of internal injuries or caused by the
shock produced by the fall. The body
was removed to the Morgue. Wylie
was taken into custody and lodged in

An Internal Machine in q Desk

An explosion took place yesterday
morning in the law Office of Robert Par
ish, OH 9th ST., Philadelphia, by which
a lad named Wm. Mcdowell was Sc
verely injured. The explosion proves
to have been the work OF an internal
machine fixed up in a drawer Of Mr..
Parish's desk, with parlor matches,
sand paper and two horse pistols.
The boy, who had two of his fingers
torn off, was taken to the hospital. His
hand was amputated this afternoon.-
Owing to his exhausted condition his
physician will allow no communication
with him. Mcdowell was the only
one in the Office at the time Of
the explosion, and it is presumed
that he had climbed Oh the desk to
open the window shutters and that the
pressure Of the drawer caused the
machine to explode. The powder and
matches were SO arranged in the draw.
er that an unusual jolting of the desk
would cause an explosion.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Parish had
taken this plan Of protection against
robbery. A warrant Was issued this
afternoon for his arrest, and it il
thought he will be apprehended at his
summer residence at Masonville, N. j.

Carrying the Joke Rather Far.

Joseph H. Dana and his wife reside in
St. Louis, Mo-, presumably in peace and
happiness. A few evenings ago Dana
pretending to be depressed in spirits,
kissed his wife goodbye, and remarked
that was the last time on earth. Frigh-
tened by his manner, she asked what
was the matter, when he suddenly drew
a revolver and fred a shot apparently
into his brain. He then fell headlong
to the floor, and his wife ran shrieking
from the room. An officer CHANGED to
be passing at the time, and hearing the
noise, hastened into the house, where
Mrs. Dana hysterically informed that
her dear husband had just committed
suicide. The officer found Mr.. Dana
stretched on the floor apparently dead,
and revolver clutched in his right
hand. STOPPING over him he found
that he was still breathing, and began
to search for the wound. After search
ing for while the supposed dead man
broke out in fit of laughter, and in q
few moments explained that he was on
ly playing joke, and that he had dis
charged the revolver into the ceiling
instead of his brain, simply to frighten
his wife. His wife, overjoyed at the
turn affairs had taken, accepted the ex-
planation, and laughed and cried alter
nately. But the policeman did not see
the joke in the same light, and he arres::
ted Dana for firing a pistol contrary to
the city ordinances, land locked him up.
Then Mrs. Dana, wifelike, started out
to hunt security for her joking husband
which she soon succeeded in procuring,
end he was released from custody.
