A LADY GOdfya.

On Sunday morning. says the SYRIA
cuse Journal, about 2 o'clock, Patrolman
Sheppard was surprised by the appear
ance on East Genessee street of a
ghostly apparition, which seemed to be
walking the said oiiicer's beat. Seeking
favorable position, the officer awaited
the near approach Of the woman in
white. As the white clad figure was
opposite to the officer he jumped out,
and on seizing the white robed figure he
was startled by terrific scream, and
found he had, not an escaped occupant
of some charnel house, but woman of
flesh and blood. An investigation
showed that Annie NJ. Sterling, residing
on the corner of Madison and Mulberry
streets, was indulging in sonambulistic
stroll, she having left her bed, clad only
in her night-dress, in which she had un-
consciously. started on q tour of the
city. She was taken to the police
Office, where she was furnished with q
pair of shoes, and q policemsn's over
coat thrown around her, in which COS
tune she was escorted to her home by
Officer Sheppard. ssi#7'. es ga .

Thackeray's !" Vanity Fair"

Says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser: A correspondent of the Elmira
ity Fair" on the ground that the novel
ist puts profane language in the mouths
of some of his characters. We have
heard this sort of talk applied before to
Shakespeare Burns, Byron, Smollett,
Fielding. and some of the brightest
names IN English Literature. Novels
unfortunately are not written for Sum
day schools; they are written to hold the
mirror up to nature, and Thackeray
described men and women az he found
them. The Religious novel so.eslled is
one of the dreariest, weakest, namby-
pambyist things in creation. The faults
ofs'lVanity Fair lies in its cynical tone,
not in it's individual characteristics. We
would not change lineof its "details.
When men aud women become perfect,
then there may be perfect novels. When
that happy time arrives We imagine
that novels will not be wanted.

Freenasonry In Egypt.
New York 6tar.1

The reported discovery of Masonic
opatra's obelisk at Alexandra has put
Oakley Halls paper into quite nervous
Autter, and set it jumping at the con-
clusion that it has found the missing
Masonic link between the time of Solo
mon and the thirteenth century. This
may be the case-and again it may not.
Since time imMemorial Masonic
lodges, or, as the modern Pharaohs call
them. p" protectories," have existed in
Upper Egypt among the natives; but
the strictest rule which the Egyptian
brothers have enforced among them
selvesis not to make themselves known to
foreigners, There is as little known
of their existence outside of the fra
ternity as is known of the festivals of the
Sioux Indians among the Bedouins.
All that foreign Masons know about
Masonry in Egypt is simply in connec-
nection with the European lodges in
Cairo and Alexandria, which have
their charters from the Grand Lodges
in Scotland England, France and
Italy. The world is kept in dark ig-
norance with regard to the existence Of
Freemasonry among the descendents Of
the Pharaohs; and yet it is fact be-
yond dispute that some sixteen native
lodges exist on the banks of the Nile,
in Upper Egypt, and though they may
work in an almost entirely different rite
from any used in Europe or in this
country, their emblems and other mystic
ties are nearly identical. Those who
visited the City of Stout, in Uppe,
Egypt and gazed ON that bold projec
tion Of the Lybian range honeycombed
with catacombs, had they turned theil
eyes on the opposite side, ON those ki
osqueG looming through the distant
groves, might have learned that one Of
these Mosques is used exclusively a. &
Masonic temple. Girkeh, Kened, and
other towns on the Nile possess one OF
more Masonic temples.
The strongest argument, however
which can be brought to show that
Freemasonry existed among the grea
astronomers in Egypt is that the ma
tive Egyptian fraternity to-day, O.
which nothing is known abroad, is com
posed exclusively Of Copts. They ar
unquestionably the greatest mathema
ticians of that country, and conside
themselves the direct descendants O
the learned Egyptians, from whom the,
claim to have inherited the mysterie
of the order.

The Largest Elk sAntlers Yet Seen In
'45s'-- .s.ss .a Montana. = fs

/ AT the store of Jacob Switzer, last
evening, we were shown the most won
derful specimen of an elk q head and
horns that. we ever saw or read Of The
head measures % Inches from the crown
to the tip of the nose. From either
side Of the crown the main branches OF
the horns, beginning with q circpmter-
ence Of IL inches, rise in massive
strength and marvellous beauty, brsnch-
ing out in the most perfect serpentine
curves, and make q magnificent display
of twenty antiers. From the tip of the
nose to the tip of either branch, follow-s
ing the curve of the, horn, the distance
is 78 inches; while measuring from the
center of the crown TO the tip of either
brance in straight line the distance -
40 inches. A space of AZ inches inter-
venes between the extreme tips OF the
branches. The greatest distance fum
outside to ontside, between the nain
branches is AZ inches. What is known
as the royal antlers ON the right branch
has I singalar formation, the result
doubtless of bruise received in some
furious battle. The most singular, how.
ever, ia. one which appears just above
the fourth, or sur-royal antler OF the
right branch, where the horn nattens
and assumes very much the shapc OF .
moose horn, and from the edge Sfs this
palmated portion three additional ant
lers have grown. The feature very
much resembles q cut which We have
seen of the .antlers of fossil elk, and
leads 10 the belief that this may have
been ono of the last Survivors OF .
speciesa fast becoming extinct, When
alive this animal must have made .
splendid appearance in bis native wilds.
Surely none but aitrained9 9hunter could
have deliberstely drawn bssd upon
this monarch. We prderstsnd that the
noble animal sWas Killed during the
proprietor of the Keystone, ,House, on
Dearborn, and the head and horns were
BY him apresented to his friend, Mr.
Switser, who will at once have them
dressed and ornamented in way be-
coming such rare specimens.
