II Deacon Luke " Parmelee of Bris-
toll was found dead in his bed on Mon
day morning last. He had retired the
night before seeming perfectly well.
His wife was aware of no movement
or disturbance, and it was only on
awakening in the morning that the sad
fact became evident to her. Heart-dis-
ease was the cause. Mr.. Parmelee was
born in Bristol and passed his life there.
He was a respected and prominent citi-
zen, and one of the pillars of the Bap-
list church, where he had, as usual,
charge of Bible class only the day be-
fore his death. lie had recently pur-
chased and repaired place on Bristol
Flats where he was living alone wi tn
his wife. His funeral services were APP
pointed for Wednesday, but the APP
pearance of the body raised some hopes
that life still fingered, and they were
deferred until Thursday When they
were largely attended at the house and
the church; his age was 60 years. n
EDr. ii. j. McITugh came up from
New Haven, Conn.,, and on Tuesday
evening took away with him Miss

O'Clock in the morning at the Catholic
church, by tev. Mr.. Maloney. A large
number of the friends of the parties
were in attendance. The couple took
the evening train for New Haven,
where DR.. McIlugh has for some
months been in the successful practice

IA recent accession to the college
museum is n series of plaster casts of
Egyptian antiquities, which come from
Cairo by way of Liverpool. DR.. Ham,
lin entrusted one hundred dollars to
Rev. ii. Nj. Ladd before bis late visit to
Egypt. desiring that it should be ex-
pended in the purchase of a mummy
for the college museum, not a common,
ordinary mummy, but the mummy of
king, or priest, or at least member of |
the legislature, done up in the best style
of the art, with wrappings and inscrip.
lions. Mr.. Ladd found only one little |
difficulty in the way of executing thie |
commission, which was that no such |
mummies were for sale, or to be found |
or stolen. Mummies are at high pre- |
MUM in Egypt at the present day. In
defanlt of one of these ancient worthless,
Mr. Ladd purchased these casts. Most |

The sacred bull, Apis. The original,
executed in black basalt, is in the Bulak |
museum.
Statute Tof Isis. Original in black |
basalt, in the Bulak museum.
Statute of Osiris. Original in black |
basalt, in the Bulak museum. Isis and
Osisis were highly respectable old
Egyptian divinities.
Large bas-relief from The tomb of
PtahhOtep at Sakkara, the ancient ne
cropolis of Memphis. Ptahhotep was q
priest who lived in the fifth dynasty,
which dynasty, our readers may not be |
aware, came to an end some years be-
fore Susan b. Anthony was born.
Ptahhotep was evidently q poultry
fancier as the inscriptions in his tomb |
credit him with the possession of 1871
600 geese of one kind, IL 200 of another, |
1925 swans, 10000 small geese, 121,-
022 pigeons, 200 goslings, etc. |
Evidently well fixed for taking in the |
premiums at the Memphian agricultural
horse trots.
A portrait of Ptahhotep as represent
ed in his tomb.
Horus standing on crocodiles, black |
basalt, in Bulak museum.
Portrait of Sell |. This was the |
Pharaoh whose daughter found the
infant Moses in the ark of bullrushes. |
Ills mummy is in the Bulak museum. |
On account of his connection with BIZ |
blical history this old party's profile
ought to be popular.
Hymn TO the sun, tablet in hero
glyphies.
Decree of Campus. This was found
in Tnnis by the eminent scholar
Lepsins in 1866. The original is cut
on tablet OF. limestone. Tho decree is
in three different versions. One is in
hieroglyphies, one in Greek, and one in
the popular Egyptian dialect, written
in the Denote characters. This tablet
is noted as confirming the correctness
of the method of reading the Egyption
hieroglyphies discovered by Champol-
lion, deduced principally from the cele-
brated Rosetta stone. The decree was
pronounced by an assembly of the
priests In the temple of Campus on
March 6, b. G.. 238, in the reign of
Ptloemy Euergetes. The only other
perfect copy of the three versions of
this decree in this country is in the
Smithsonian Institute at Washington.
Several of these casts were broken in
transit, but Pres. Hamlin, who is a
universal genius, is restoring them so
that they will be as good as new. The
