The Beautiful Ruins OF Tanis.

/ M. Edouard Naville has lately returned
from a short tour of exploration in the
Eastern Delta, where he visited the ruin.
of Tanis.
The ruins lie high above the marshy
plain. upon a kind of plateau surrounded
by an amphitheatre of low hills. These
hills are the rubbish mounds of the old
crude brick city, surrounding the great
wall within which lay the temples and
palaces of Tanis. NJ. Naville found
himself standing in the midst of a vast
waste stfewn and. piled with columns,
architrayes, Obelisks, statues and enorm-
GUS blocks of hewn stone, all shattered,
overturned, and showing marks of will
ful destruction. Traces of the tools
with which the ruin was done are visible
on almost every stone. In one superb
| colossus, which has resisted the hand of
the destroyed Ne. Naville found wedge
holes into which wood blocks bad been
inserted for the purpose of splitting the
granite. He inclines to think that this
was the result of war and not Of icofo-
ciasm. The temple was probably oecu-
pied as fortress in Roman times or
during the Middle Ages. and both be-
sieged and besiegers may have used its
materials for offensive and defensive
purposes.
The principal temple was built entire-
" OF red granite brought from the quar-
ries of Assouan. on the Nubian frontier,
The difficulty of transporting these enor-
nous blocks is quite incalculable. Four
teen obelisks, described by M. Nayille as
the largest IN Egypt, strew the mounds
with their gigantic fragments. Allthese
and nearly all the statues and sphynxes,
Which appear to have lined the avenues
to the principal temple, We're erected by
Rameses IL Not only do their inscrip-
tlons celebrate the glory of this great
Pharaoh, but even the bases of these
overturned monuments which rested on
the ground, and were intended never to
'be seen by human eyes, were engraved
with his well-known cartouches. Many
OF the colossi still retain their traces Of
color. .ss6sx EF s.
u. NaVlle is of opinion that there is a
great work to be done at Tanis in The
way of excavation. The little, compar-.
atlyefy speaking, which has yet been. ac-
compflshed there was by Mariette Pashl;
but his discoveries were limited by want
OF time, health, and funds, and much
that ne uncovered is again buried. .8Ii
sfslnI severe grTandeau and solemnity
these ruins, says. NJ. Naville, ..surpass
even those OF Karnals. ,Herodotus, who
had never seen Tanis, expatiated at much
length on the beauty OF Bubastis. To
Judge by what is left of the one end Of
the other. Tanis must have great sur4
passed its rival, Supposing that some
pert at least was left standing--that all
was not, as it now is, overtflrown. and
shattered,-I have no hesitation in saying
that ha sTanis would have been the most
beautiful ruin in Egypt. ;" '' s''ss
Thoagh exempt, by reason Of its itlac-
feasibility. fromithe depredations of tour
lsts, Tanis is suffering from the fatal eff
tects ofan atmosphere laden with saline
7xberations. NJ. Naville reports. that the
surface OF these granite monuments are
rapidly decaying. Cor. London 1tse,s

snrnlus Revenue.


Much b said about the accunulated
large surplus Of money. derived from
tariff md internal revenue.s over and
obove the current expenses Of the gov
eminent and. the payment Of interest and
prineipal Of the federal debt as It ma
t1res. and efforts have been made 70 re-
duce the receipts of revenue without re-
dueing taxes by modifying tariff duties,
and the river and harbor steal is sought
to be justified on the plea that this sur
plus must be exhausted.
A similar condition OF revenue existed
under the administration Of jackson.
Schemes of plunder and robbery by ma
tional banks and other means were then
suggested. The noble old hero thought
otherwise, and concluded that the States,
many Of whom were then in debt, could
use to advantage this surplus in the treas.
ury, and he ordered it distributed to the
States-not as gift but as a loan to be
called for when needed by the general
government.
Why can not the present surplus-such
as may accumulate from properly mod
ified revenue tariff, by an excise on wines,
malt and spirituous liquors and tobacco
and by tax on national banks based upor
just and fair equivalents-be thus dis
tributed among the States and again i
required, by the States to counties ant
municipalities? For instance. Ohio ha'
a State debt of about 81, 500, 900 and near
| ly all of her municipal corporations ar
in debt more or less, why not have th'
general government use this surplus rev
enue to take up these debts. collect tn
interest and principal as they mature
and with the proceeds pay the genera
debt as it becomes due. Thus the pay
ment of one debt would cancel two debts
the bondholders' occupation would b
gone, and the taxes by which the debt
are paid, coming from luxuries alone
would in no manner distress the bushes
or labor of the country?
