Late Egyptian Discoveries.
BatOn Rouge AdyOcate,)

,' discoveries III chronological remains in
Egypt. The liberal Offering of cnriosities
made by tribe Of Arabs, and the low
prlce demanded for them, excited the at
fentioE 5t the authorities. and by liberal
use OF money and of the bastinatl0, they
were made to diyulse the source Of their
supply. In u secret cave and in galleries
cut i'll the solid rock in the Lyhian noun
fans. an immense .Guantlty of Egyptian
memorials were found. CONSISTING of num-
mes. IN almost perfect state of preserva-
ton, Ofpapyri emhcliSheh with illumina-
led borders, as fresh to-day as they were
TOM thousand years ago. and of numerous
articles not yet classified or described.
H. Enough has been astertaincd in lec;pl,-
ering the hiemgliphics. (Which have beef,

mat long gapin the earliest history OF
Egypt will be filled Ivy the information
we are thus on the point of acquiring, the
lliaraOlls of the Bible are now actually
res'lrrccted, and their obituary records
have been eXhumed to serve as the most
valuable profane illustrations Of the truth
and meaning of the Sacred Text.
Bya wonderful coincidence the atten-'
ton OF scientific men has within the last
half century been directed in IL striking
manner to the Great Pyramid. BY sys-
TEN OF measurements it has been discover
ed, that the proportion between the die
amctcr and circumference of circle. call
ed by gcometers the ri proportion, 1--WE
have no Greek type,( enters into the con-
strnction of this binding in manifold Gu
rlons combinations. This relation is si.-
niiicantly expressed bN the fact. that the
vertical height is the radius ola circle
equal to the sum of its four sides. thus
furnishing practical answer to the old
problem OF the Guadrature of the circle.
That by a most marvellous orientation it
points exactly north and south. That in
ITS proportions it suggests the relation of
earth measurements, which are as yet
only approximately reached by astrO-
nomical calculation: in word that this
venerable monument OF antiquity indi-
Gates design TO express scientific truths,
which are now being developed in full
and exact form.
II is cOntcnded also that it reveals u
system OF wonderful symbolisms. which
give 1t the authority OF another collateral
revelation. pointing to all the great
truths Of the christian religion. The
gradual decadence 0fthe human race be-
ing symbOlized by the entrance tube, Lead

toiniess pit; the prUvidential interference

seven sided or Sabbatic chamber symbol
cal OF the Jewish dispensaton; thence
broadening into a grand Gallery, typical
of the christian system, and terminating
in the Kings chamberin the centre Of the
great structure.
We have no space to do more than refer
to these specnlations, which, however fam
citul they may appear ut first blush, have
excited profound interest among the most
grave and unimaginative scientific men.
The coincidences, which cannot be de-
tailed III the compass of a newspaper arti-
Gle, are SO numerous and 30 curious. that
the Great Pyramid is now being looked to
by deyOnt men as the altar and pillar.
which Isaiah says would be found in the
last days in the land of Egypt, as the
monument and revelation Of the great
truths Of inspiration.
The practical utility, which these in
yestigatiols may result in, NAV take the
form OF a denial and REPUTATION of the
theory OF Evolution, as accepted by scien-
title men, too emphatic and positive to be
challenged or contravened. The iisclos-
,lres OF these Egyptian remains, now
taking form, goto show, that the print
tive civilization Of Egypt and the East
was tar superior to what has generally
been supposed; that 50 far from the hu-
name race emerging by gradual develop

stone age, and from the brute creation it.

state of primeval innocence and high i'm

lical record. The tendency If all them,
antiquarian and archaeological discover
les is to show that a highly civilized peo-
pie, possessing a knowledge Of the true
God, and maintaining pure morality and
healthy social life, occupied the coasts
If Asia Minor, whence thew spread into
neighboring States, building cities and
Leaving monuments OF their architectural
skill and their scientific knowledge. which
have furnished the unsolyable problem to
twenty-five centuries Of earnest jn0uirv.
The Great Pyramid theorists believe that
job aud Melchizidec were princes of this
imperial race, and that the Oldest and
grandcst monument in the world was d.
rected under Divine inspiration by their
direction, and that its walls which arc
defaced by no heather inscription either
within or without, are expressive Of great
spiritual truths by the severe symbolisms
Of prophetic language. They aver that
these symbolisms declare that VIC are on
the verge Of a new dismnsation, in which
all shall know the will Of God even from
the least to the greatest.
The papyri which have been taken from
these Egyptian tombs will throw flood
OF light on this question. Herod0tus mar
rates that the tradition among the Egyp-
tian priests was that the greatest nlonu-
ments OF Egyptian grandeur were built
under the patronage Of the shepherd
Kings who came from the slrsres Of the
Red Sea. lftle identification Of this race
OF artiticers and builders with tho patri-
archs can now be established lay corrob-
oratiye evidence, derived by modern
criticism from these old writings their
value as incidental evidence con,irmatory
Of the Mosaic History cannot ie overes-
timated. Egypt has a mysterious rela-
ton in the old prophecies to the develops
ment Of sacred truth in the last DAYS. Aud
now it seems that the sphinx is about to
speak ont, and that light is spreading in
the land Of darkness and mystery.
