THE POWER OF THE PRESS.

| One of the old-time editors was boasting
the other day that he had never been sued for
libel, or attacked in his sanctum, but he
could recall many narrow escapes. Twenty
five years ago he was running red-hot paper
on the line of the Michigan Central Railroad.
A man named Carson, who was running for
some county Office, was given bad racket,
and the editor received note that if he had
anything more to say he might expect TO re-
ceive good pounding. He had a still more
bitter attack the next week, and tile paper
was hardly mailed before in walked Carson,
the candidate, accompanied by brother and
two cousins. The four were strapping big
fellows, and each was armed with horse
whip. The two compositors and the devil''
got out with all speed, leaving the editor
without support. He realized the situation
at once, and began
"Walk in, gentlemen presume you have

Al dunno.n
"We you never did. Lick me all you
choose and my paper comes out week after

is next to the lever which moves the uni

or tears down, plants ordestroys. Aggravate
the editor aud the press becomes a sword to

an anxious look.

THE EG YPTIAN OBELISKS.

The ancient Egyptian obelisks were origin
ally monoiths, and were all quarried at Syene,
on the banks of the Nile, about $50 miles from
the sea, where there exists an immense mass
of rock known as syenite, celebrated for its
hardness freedom from cracks and veins of
foreign matter, and susceptible of the most
beautiful polish on its surface. This sub
stance differs from granite in that it contains
hornblende instead Of mica the other con-
stituents, feldspar aud quartz, are the same in
both. Syenite is much tougher and more
durable than granite, and yields much more
slowly to the rayages of time and the disin-
tegration caused by atmospheric influences.
1t has been asserted that the climate Of Egypt
is much more favorable to the preservation of
syenite than that of London, Paris and New
York. contest this assertion. The wonder
full preservation of the Egyptian monuments
is due to the material of which they are made
and not to the climate. The surface OF
Scotch granite and Italian marble monuments
that have been erected in European cemeteries
decay n much shorter time than they do in
either of these cities. Tho cause is plain
enough to me- In Egypt very heavy dews
accumulate in summer and autumn when the
sky is most eloudless and the sun puts forth
its greatest heat. The moistened surfaces are
acted upon by the powerful rays Of the morn
ing sun, and, as is universally the case, where
there is heat and moisture there W i'll be decay.
Thus it is that the eastern and southern sides
of the monuments all along the Northern
coast of Africa show signs of disintegration,
while the western aud northern sides remain
more or less uninjured. Before the sun in its
westward course has cast its rays on these
latter Sides they have lost their moisture by
gradual evaporation, and the heat of MONDAY
falls powerless on dry surface. -Lisus.

The Moslem legend has 1t, that, when Ma
homet went to Heaven, he stood on the Rock,
and as be assembled, the Rock started to go
with him but just at that moment tho angel
Gabriel placed his hand on 1t and held 1t
down. To those who doubt this legend and
to all tourists, the print of Mahomet's foot is
shown in the rock, as we'll as the mark of
Gabrieps hand.
Another legend of the Moslems, says, that
