Some Highly Honored Mummies.

Perhaps the most remarkable experience
which have befallen the human remains OF
an ancient race occurred to some mummies
that were taken to Paris subsequently, to the
occupation of Egypt under Napoleon l.
and placed in the Louvre. After the Gu
rioslty in regard to them had worn oil they
becams a nuisance, and, owing to the pc
culiar condition OF the climate, In the
course of years slightly offensive. They
have been slowed away in the garrets OF
the Louvre, and the curators Tad year at
ter year been endeavoring to solve the
problem of how they could most decently
be got rid of, when the revolution OF 1880
broke out1 As every enc will remember,
many of the heroes of that episode fell in
the court of the Louvre. When the curs-
tors observed that graves were being dug
fol- distinguished parrots and republicans
under their very noses. the brilliant idea
occurred to them to slip surreptItiously into
the same resting places the bodies OF the
ancient Egyptians which had for 50 long
been a cause of embarrassment to them.
With the inspiration of genius they seized
the opportunity, and thus associated the
past and the present of two great pa,ions
by a common sepulture of those who hid
been distinguished citizens of both. But
the homo. which had thus been conferred
upon the mumm;es was nothing to what
was yet III store for them. When the
glorious days of 1s4S arrived, it was de-
cided to exbume the heroes who had been
buried in the Court of the Louvre, and re-
move them with great pomp aud cerem )py
70 the Place de IA Bastille. The secret OF
the mummles' burial had been well kept,
and when they were dIsinterred with their
companions OF modern date, to the super
fetal observer there was nothing to dis
tingulsh their bones from an ordinary
French Republican. They were, therefore,
all exhumed together and formed the most
interesting and. possibly, most respectable
part Of the procession which traversed
Paris on that occasion. The magnificent
funeral orstiops were made over them by
fervod orators, who little suspected, whose
bones they were hono.ing; and to this day
these mummles wers awaiting the final
moment under the Column of July. Mean
time, according to the ancient belief of the
Egyptians, the remarkable adventures
which have thus befallen these bodies have
\ been narrowly watched by their souls; fol
il was the idea of the Egyptians that IL,
soul retained the warmest interess in .hl
body after death-not merely from na-
turai feeling Of affection and sympathy f.
shell, 90 to speak, which one has inha
b.ted once, and would under certain ii
tered circumstances inhsbit again, but be
! cause 1t was all that the individuals coul,
leave for the world to remember HIM by
and hence he was desirous tia. his bod.
should be preserved IN as perfect state a
POSSIBLE, and under such conditions o
spleudor and durability as behtted earthl.
remains which were ultimately destined I
r immortality.

Practising Law

AT Fort Wayne 1 heard Of q man who
had fallen very in the social scale. The
man was up before Judge Foster for ille-
gal voting. and in his cross examination
he developed line Of family depravity
seldom heard Of. 1 confess I never heard
of family springing from such de-
praved moral source.
''What has be-n your profession pre-
vious to your arrest?" asked Lawyer
johnson, one of the proudest lawy ers in
Fort Wayne.
'1 have kept a saloon SIR"
Anything else?" asked Lawyer
Thompson. "You have lot kept sa-
loon for ten years, have you."
"No sir; was negro minstrel for a
year, and then went with Coup's cir
GUS"
''Do you not think the life of negro
minstrel and travelling circus man a
very low calling?" asked the lawyer.
"Yes, sir; they are low callings. ]
will admit, but they are honest. You
see, my father started very low. and ]
could not seem to get ahead"
''But your father never occupied a
lower position than you, sir. He could
not. Impossible" said the lawye-.
"Yes, sir. but he did"
"Well, what?"
"Why he kept a faro bank. He had
bad luck at that and kept going down
hill. He ran away from mother just be
fore 1 was born, leaving us children tt
starve. Then he began to get drunl
and sleep on saloon floors. He go
lower and lower, and became a Low
tramp, and next We heard of him overil
Kalamazoo, utterly shameless, practicint
law"

Catlett Hamburger, son of George L.
and Nellie B. Carlisle, went to heaven
Nov. 18th, 1881. We cannot say he
died, for "Christ hath abolished death"
When Christ came, He found this
world under bondage to the fear of
death. He began His warfare against
death, first, by mitigating its fear in
the change of its name. He said "Our
friend Lazarus sleepeth," and of the
maiden, "She is not dead but sleepeth."
Then He utterly abolished the thing
itself, by "bringing life and immor-
tality to light"
Little Hamburger, with only six years
experience, grew weary of this worlds
life and fell asleep. His guardian
angel, dreading what the future here
might have in store for him, bore him
aloft above the possibility of trial and
trouble. He was a winSome child !;
bright, beautiful and sweet. No Won
der his grandmother idolized him; no
wonder his parents poured upon him
the wealth of their loving hearts, and
every one who saw him was charmed.
The rose is lovliest when through the
opening calix the corolla begins to
appear and the delicate tint and rising
fragrance promise what its full-blown
glory will be. Its pleasure then is
tWo-fold-What it is and what it prom
ises to be. That double pleasure is
derived only from the unfolding bud.
So the budding season of childhood is
sweetest. Never before was little
Hamburger near so dear as when father
and mother and grandmother bent
over his fading form and watched and
wept and prayed that he might be
spared. 1t was not the full-grown
man, which his beauty and brightness
promised he would be, that they loved
and grieved over, but it was their pre-
cious little boy-what he then scds-
their pride, their joy, their benedic-
ton. Just then the Lord took him,
saying, Il will carry him before to
prepare a place for them" To my
bereaved friends let me say, "a babe
in glory is babe forever" and by this
thought would fain comfort you. Had
little Hamburger lived, he would have
grown up and become a man, and
your sweet little boy would have been
lost to you forever; but now since
Jesus has taken him home, heavens
enjoyment to you viii begin with the
sweetest joy which you had upon the
earth and lost-the companionship OF
your Iittie boy-and that JOY there win
never end. In this way Jesus @pre-
pares a place" for us, by adjoining il
with the objects of our sweetest loves
and fondest hopes. God comfort your
hearts with this hope, Hamburger will
be first to greet you in the higher
home. JNo. W. HAMMER, il.

Death of Mr.. Thomas Manson.

Mr.. Thomas Manson, one of the
most influential and respected citi-
zens of District No. g., died at his
home, near .Ringgold, of Typhoid
maIarial fever, on Friday night of
last week, after a protracted sick
ness of several weeks. He was a
young man just merging into the
prime of life and highly esteemed
by all who knew him. Hardly
year ago he married Miss Kittie
Bell, an accomplished daughter of
Capt. Darwin Bell, Of Christian
county, KY, who is left to mourn
his untimely death. A jealous
member of Bethel Church and
pleasant and genial gentleman, his
early death will be keenly regret
ted by all who enjoyed his acquain-
lance. The coincidence of the entire
community was extended his be-
reaved family and friends.

HOW to Procure German Carp.

Prof. BAIRD, United States Fish
Commissioner, announces that he
has made arrangements for the dis
tribution Of Austrian Carp all over
the United states, on request of per-
sons who own suitable ponds. He
has abandoned the plan of sending
large quantities to State to be dis
tributed. Ten fish, he says, is a
sufficient number to stock a pond.
The fish will be put up in cans and
shipped directly to the applicant,
free OF cost, except express charges
which can be paid to the express
company on delivery. Express
charges will be even lower than the
usual rates, the Commissioner hav-
ing made arrangements with the
express companies to that effect.
This is a fine opportunity for any
one who desires to stock his pond
with this splendid variety of table
fish.

The reorganization of the Young
Mems Christian Association in this
city, is a matter that should claim
the active sympathy and hearty
cooperation of the thinking men
in our community. The young
men are an important, perhaps the
most important, factor in some re-
spects. in the prosperity of county
or city, and those things which tend
to conserve their energies and vi
talize their thinking and moral
powers, an element of strength
which no progressive city can afford
to neglect. The same reasons that
justify city in the enforcement Of
laws against those things which
tend to degrade its young men and
dissipate their powers, also justify
the support, both by active assis-
lance and passive encouragement,
of such things az tend to elevate
their personal character and pre-
serve their capabilities. The same
reasons, however, that restrain city
and state from aiding in the same
work as undertaken by the church,
prevents it from aiding In this work.
But the community as individuals
should not hesitate to do what can
be easily done. The association
should be furnished with sufficient
means to carry out the work before |
it and we are sure that when that |
work is understood, the means will |
not be lacking. We understand |
that the Executive committee have
4 plan on foot for holding at an
early day, probably Sunday, Nov.

port of the organization as at pres
mt effeted, will be made, and its

Her step was light as morning air,
Her speech as sparkling as brook,
Her cheeks as fair as roses were,
And shining was her sunny hair.
A sweater child we shall not know,
fairer maid we shall not see,
Oh, 1t is sad to lay her low
Beneath the autumn flowers that blow.
But murmur not. The Father spake;
We must not murmur at His will.

But tears will flow, or hearts will break.

could forever dwell. Yet, loved ones are
fated to part. Bereaved parents. Jesus has
taken your child from your arms into his
own, and placed her in the window OF
heaven to beclon you to your happy home.
Before sin or sorrow made a trace
Upon her sweet, smiling face,
Ere she learned to lisp your name,
Death the dark-winged messenger came,
To claim her-'twas her Masters will,
But she'll be your angel child still.
When time to you shall be no more,
May you gain that celestial shore,
And with your angel-baby meet,
Where your sainted mothers both win
greet;
Then with the seraphic choir you'll sing
Endless praises to our Heavenly King.
