Very Important Discoveries
Under CleOpatra's Needle.

PARIS, March ia dispatch
from Cairo to-day communicates a
fact which will revive in a still high
er degree the interest excited
among students Of Egyptian mys-
teries two or three months ago by
Lieutenant Command Gorringe's
discovery of Masonic emblems I'M
derneath the pedestal of the obelisk
at Alexandria destined tor transport
tation to New York. Interesting
an important as were the discoveries
of Commander Gorringe and DR..
Fanton, they were not exhaustive,
and the practised eye of another dis
tinguished Masonic dignity has just
detected an additional series of en-
bleIns of value and significance
far greater and more unquestiona-
bic than those previously reported.
DIr. s. A. lola, Grand Comman-
der and President OF the Scotch An
cient and Accepted Masonic Rite
for Egypt and Egyptian ex-Grand
Master Of Symbolic Masonry, has
juct examined the foundations of
the Alexandrian obelisk, and has dis
covered another series of stones
which not only bear all the exist
ing Masonic emblems, but furnish
the key which has hitherto been
lacking to explain the entire dimen-
sions and proportions of what
proves to have been an elaborate
Masonic edifce, including the ODE
lisk itself, the pedestal, the staircase
and the hidden foundations.
Mr. lola processes to be able by
this discovery to throw a vivid light
upon the ancient Egyptian origin Of
Masonic symbolism, hitherto so en-
ergetically disputed by many say
ans. and it Is expected that the pub
LEGATION of his detailed drawings
will finally settle more than one Of
the problems which lie at the very
foundation not only Of Masonry, but
Of the obscure and complicated re.
ligiouS system Of the early Egyp-
tlans.

The Right Spirit.

The Salem Register, one of the most
outspoken Readjuster papers in the
State is opposed to the wild scheme of
an independent ticket in the presiden-
tial contest. There is no hope of such
q ticket winning, and the people OF this
State. IN q national conflict, are unwill-
ing to cast their ballots other than
directly against Radlcalism and the
Radical party. The Democratic party
must win, or we must again 60 under
the dominion of party whose greatest
claim for the support OF the people is
its hatred towards, and abuse Of, the
people Of the South. Our people will
be satisfied with no half way of voting.
They want to vote direct and any
scheme, to withdraw the votes Of the
people from the support Of the Demo-
cratic National Ticket will not receive
the support of the people of this State
however much they may be DIVIDED on
local 'and State issues. The Salem
Register very sensibly remarks:
"We hope the ranters on both sides
will come to their senses, so that the
Democrats Of Virginia may become
united IN the coming struggle. Let the
Funde-s stop their abuse Of those who
honestly differ with them on State
matters, and endeavor 10 read men into
the party instead OF reading them out.
And let the Readjusters stop talking Of
an independent electoral ticket. 1t
can't win, and will only result in losing
the State. Let all, then, unite and pull
together in the great struggle for the
Presidency, however much we may be
divided in State affairs.

A PARROT ON THE WITNESS
STAND.-A parrot took the witness
stand in London Police Court a fort
night ago. The bird was claimed by
Mrs. Tanner, who said that it escaped
from its cage and had been caught by
Mr.. Isaacs, who refused to give it up.
Mr.. Isaacs admitted that he had caught
the parrot, but disputed Mrs. Tanners
ownership. Mrs. Tanner said the bird
could not talk much, but could say
mother" quite plainly. Mr.. Isaacs
said it was in the habit Of saying my
Lord" The magistrate directed that
the parrot should be kept tor some
hours, to see if it verified either state
ment. During the afternoon the bird
give such satisfactory evidence in favor
of Mrs. Tanners statement that the
magistrate said there was not the
slightest doubt that it belonged to her,
and he therefore ordered it to be restor-
ed to her.

A FaitIIess Husbands Crime.
FORGERY--EMBEZZLEMENT-PoIsoN

Boston, MASS, March 17.-Ho-
mer Wellington, who lately with
drew from the firm of Utley &
Boynton, prominent commission
merchants, Of this city, was arrest
ed to-day at the instance OF his
father-in-law, Mr.. Boynton. who
charges him with various defalca-
tions while a member of the firm to
the amount of $4,000 or $4,000,
and with the forgery of notes. HIe
was held In bail to-day on those
charges. For some months past
the members of the Wellington fam
lily at Cambridge have been serious
ly i'll at various periods, the dis
ease being called gastric fever by
physicians. Wellington's infant
son died some months ago, and late
ly his wife has been taken i'll. Her
suspicious were aroused, and she
saved some oatmeal which her hus-
band had prepared for her. 1t has
been analysed, and enough arsenic
found in it to poison ten persons,
and Mrs. Wellington owes her life
to the overdose. Detectives state
that WeIlington's infatuation with
another woman was the cause Of
the crime. Arsenic was found in
Wellington's possession when ar
rested, and it is stated that he has
made a full confession.
Later. Wellington, Oh being az
rested, confessed he had appropria-
ted money of Utley & Boynton's,
but denied poisoning his family. He
stated that a friend named Hallett
had bought him some arsenic to
poison a t,and that he threw away
the balance last December. A de-
tectiye at this point took from Wei
.ington's pocket two-ounce bottle
half full OF arsenic Wellington
was held in $4,000 on a charge of
forgery, and will appear before a
Cambridge court on tie charge of
poisoning his wife.

Some of the recent executions in
Russia recall very striking Incl
dent Of the reign Of Peter the Great.
The Nihilism Of that period was
represented by the revolt Of the
Strelitz (ArcheD Guard, which
Peter quclled and punished with
mercilcss severity, beheading man
for every tarret on the Krcmlin
wall, which overlooked the place of
execution. The headsman being
fatigued with the butchery, Peter
himself took his place, and struck
off twelve heads with his own hand.
The thirteenth was a handsome
young soldier nick-named Orel
Eagle, who, pushing aside his
predecessors headless corpse, cried
with a laugh, "Come, brother, it's
my turn for an audience with the
Gar now !" Peter, struck with this
reckless gallantry, pardOned and
promoted him. Some French
writers have cndeavored to throw a
coloring of romance over the Incl
dent by making its hero the Cars
unacknowledged son, but the re-
spective ages of the two men render
this all but impossible.-New 7.

A MAN HIRED TO MURDER A WHOLE

FAMILY AT so MUCH PER HEAD.
Especial to the Common WEALTH.
CHICAGO. ILL.,, March 20.-A special
from Des MONIES says: There has
long existed deadly feud between the
families of Howeye and Westfall, at
Teardown Church, in Warren county,
Iowa. 1t resulted in a murderous
shooting ARRAY two years ago, and has
now broken out afresh. Last We'd
nesday evening Reuben Westfall, while
out looking for his hogs, was shot in
the head by some person in ambush.
The ball struck Just above the ear, but
glanced on the skull, making only a
Slight scalp-wound. Two days after,
one George Wheeler was arrested on
suspicion, and confessed that he had
fired the shot that he had been hired
by the Howeyes to shoot the entire
Westfall family at one hundred dollars
a head, and when the last one was dis
posed Of he was to have two hundred
dollars extra. Wheeler's statement
IS confirmed by circumstances, and on
its strength four of the Howeyes have
been arrested with two others of their
gang. The remainder cannot be found

THE fight between the Conservative and
Liberal parties in England as represented
by the Beaconsfeld and Gladstone parties
was Of more significance than that affec
ting the status of parties. The Anglican
or Established Church, in addition to
making the people pay the salaries of their
preachers Through the Government taxes)
denied the right of burial in the church
yards of the same. The Liberal Govern
ment has introduced in Parliament q
Burials bill permitting the burial Of Dis
senters in all churchyards and cemeteries
without the Church of England service,
and with such service as the persons in
terested might deem fit. Now for the first
time the Nonconformists have something
like a sure hope Of obtaining relief from
an injustice that has during many years
been one Of their bitter grievances. The
marvel in the matter is that in a land SO
enlightened and so boastful of liberty as
England, such a barbarous intolerance
should have been H-s] to reign so long

THE question of how big fee lawyer
shall take is now agitating the national
mind. Mr.. Garfield, who it is said after
eighteen years service in Congress, has
amassed property to the amount Of $4,000
is being severely hacl1led because he took
on one occasion fee of $4,000. When put
in contrast with Mr.. Pendleton who has
been prominent aspirant for the same
Office and took fee from certain railroad
corporation of 100000, or VIM. NJ. Evartts,
who has been paid as high as $4,000 for
legal service, it dwindles into insignlicancc.
In fact, it is doubtful whether such fee
where there was "big stakes" properly
commands tho respects of the legal profess
sion. A typical story is that related of a
certain lawyer who, when charged with
unprofessional conduct in taking less thar
the usual fee, triumphantly exonerated
himself by explaining that he took all III
client had! And fortunately, there arc no
wanting plenty of examples to give poin
to this disparaging view Of the legal pro
fession.
