Mummy Flowers.
From Chambers Journal l

Several of the royal mummies discovered
 last year at Deir el-Bahari were, it will be remembered, found garlanded with flowers those flowers being for the most part in won- derful preser vation. M. Arthur Rhone in recent letter to Le Temps, has described the extremely curious way in which these gar-
 lands are woven. They consist of the petals and sepals of various flowers, detached from their stems, and inclosed each in a folded
 leaf of either Egyptian willow (SGIsr sGLsaf)
 or the lNtnauSQps KUnanaeZ Bruce. The floral
 ornaments thus devised were then arranged in rows-the points being all set one way and connected by means of a thread of date leaf fibre woven in a kind of chain stitch.
 The whole resembles @ coarse "edging' of
 vegetable lace-work. Among the flowers
 thus preserved are the bright blue blossoms
 of the DeE1ola6ntatna o7fe'ata1is or larkspur
 the blue lotus, NynaptCsa cgruzea ;; the
 white of Nynph9e l0taLs, with pink tipped sepaIs the blossoms of the Ses5GntG ZEQyp
 h0cG and the orange hued flower of the Cur thGnnus ti1ct0ritts, or saffiower, so largely en-
 ployed as dye by the ancient inhabitants of the Nile valley. The dried fruit, as well as the dried yellow blossom of the Ac0ciG Nizo- ttcG is likewise presents and mention is also made of the blossom of a species of water
 melon now extinct. The foregoing are all interwoven in the garlands in which the mummy of Amenhotep I. was elaborately swathed. With others of the royal mum mics were found fine detached specimens of both kinds of lotus the blue and the white with stems, blossoms and seed pods com plete. Still more interesting is it to learn that upon the mummy of the priest Nebsoohi maternal grandfather of King Pinotem l., (twenty-irst dynasty) there was found specimen of the ichen known to botanists as the ParuaeliG .furJuracca. This plant is indigenous to the islands of the Greek Archipelago whence it must have been brought to Egypt at or before the period of the Her Hor dynasty, 01OO or 1900 B. O. ) Under the Arabic name of 'sKheba'' it is sold by the native druggists in Cairo to this day. These frail relics of many 8 vanished spring have been arranged for the Boolak Museum with exquisite skill by that eminent traveller and botanist, Dr. Schweinfurth Classified, mounted, and so to say, illustrated by modern examples of the same flowers and plants, they fill eleven cases-a collection absolutely unique, and likely ever to remain so. The hues of these old-werld flowers are said to be as brilliant as those of their mod ern prototypes; and, but for the labels which show them to be 5000 years apart, no ordinary observer could distinguish between those which were buried with the Pharaohs and those which were gathered and dried only few months ago.

Musicians, managers of theatres and others
 will be much interested in the important
 decision in the case of Theodore Thomas against J. G. Lennton and others, tried at Boston last week. The defendants had an- nounced their intention to produce Gounod's

The case turned on the point whsth- CT everybody had right to construct an orchestral score from a piano score.

A Mongoose and a Cobra Fighting.

Letter to the London Standard.1
 At the present time, when the proposed introduction of the mengoose into Australia is under discussion, perhaps the following ex- tract fromsthe Leisure Hour, October, 1879.) ) describing combat between one of those an- imals and cobra, may prove interesting to some of your readers A report of the fight, it is stated, was sent to the Madras newspa- pers, signed by several Indian officers who were eye-witnesses, and dated Trichinopoly, July 15, 1863. It is as follows: ''The mon goose approached the cobra with caution, but devoid of any appearance of fear. The cobra, with head erect aud body vibrating, watched his opponent with evident signs of being aware of how deadly an enemy he had to contend with. The mongoose was soon with in easy striking distance of the snake, who, suddenly throwing back his head, struck at the mongoose with tremendous force. The mongoose, quick as thought sprank back out of reach utsering at the same time savage grewls Again the hooded reptile rose on the defensive, and the mongoose, nothing daunted by the distended jaws and glaring eyes of his antagonist, approached so near to the snake that he was forced, not relish ing such close proximity, to draw his head back considerably; this lessened his distance from the ground. The naongoose, at once seizing the advantageous opportunity, sprang at the eobra's head, and appeared to lnHict as well as to receive @ wound. Again the combatants put themselves in 8 position to renew the encounter again the snake struck at his willy opponent and again the latter's agility saved him. It would be tedious to recount in further detail the particulars of about dozen successive rounds, at the end of which time neither co1nbatant seemed to suffer more than the other. The fight had lasted some three-quarters of an hour, and both combatants seemed now to nerve them selves for the final encounter. The cobra, changing his position of defense for that of attack, advanced, and seemed determined now to do or die.' Slowly on his watchful enemy mongoose awaited the advance of his still un- vanquished foe. The cobra had now ap- preached so close that the mongoose (who, owing to want of space behind, was unable to spring out of reach by jumping backward. as it had done in previous encounters) nimbIy

Charles Reade's Epitome of Woman.

From Interview in the Philadelphia Press.J
 stMr. Reade. recent criticism says you
 have studied the woman more than the man in your literary work and that you have made her.
 s'Yes, saw that. I see everything, but not blindly. It said that I made her pain fully realistic to anyone who looked at her as I did-cross- eyed. Not so. My friend, she is just like a man, like ourselves, but with certain tendencies we call womanly Like ourselves she ardently desires love. She knows it is the best, absolutely the best thing the world has to give; that we are all born for love, man and woman alike; that to lack this consummate and supreme bless ing is to lose the best part of life. She de- sires above all things to be wooed, and is for bidden to WOO on her own account. She conceals her own thoughts, yet from her ex- perience in hiding she is quick at reading the thoughts of others She is satisfied with nothing less than she herself gives, which is all herself Her reserve leads her, in the lower natures, to deceit and falsehood. Her devotion, which IS part of her nature, leads her also in the lower natures to suspicion and jealousy She is always in the house. therefore her mind is apt to run in narrow grooves. The prodigalIty and wastefulness of men are things beyond her understanding or patience. She is unversed in affairs, and therefore understands nothing of compro- mise. She is generally ill-educated, and tu0I61OES ID IAChpdOAC OL JuU&- ment, hence she is carried away by every word of doctrine; as, for instance. in mat tsrs ecclesiastical. Knowing nothing of the early church or it's history, she believes the poor little ritualist curate, who knows, in- deed, no more than herself or in art, where for want of standard she is led astray by every fad and fashion of the day and wor- ships sad faced Harnesses with rapture; or in dress, where her taste being uncultivated, she puts on whatever is most hideous and unbeconling, provided it is worn by every body else. This is the woman I present to my readers. She is not, at all events, insipid mo real women are If she is artificial, the real woman shows from underneath What I love most is the woman whom fash ion has not spoiled the true feminine wo man, with her natural passion, her jealousy, her devotion, her love of admiration, her fidelity, her righteous wrath, her maternal ferocify, her narrow faith, her shrewdness- even her audacity of falsehood, when that can serve her purpose, and finally her per feet self-abnegation. That's the woman that's the woman I believe in. That is the l creature that is human. She is nature''

Mir. David Hinman writes to us from South ington showing that as long ago as last July he proposed a plan to accomplish the results which General Rosecrans aims at. In brief MT. Hinman's plan is as follows: Give to every town voter printed circular with the different town and State officers to be voted for; the blanks to be filled out and sent to the chairman of the committee, who are to nominate from the majority of candidates found on the returned circulars.

The total eclipse of the sun on the 9th of May next will last six minutes, and no longer one will probably occur within the next hun dred years. It will be partially visible in many places, but few will zee it in it's entire ty, as it's path lies almost entirely through the ocean, touching land nowhere but at little island in the South Pacific called Caro- line Island, which is out of the track of any established commerce or travel. The French government has determined to send an expe- dition to that island, and it is probable grand international gathering of astronomers will meet there to take part in this scientific quest.

THE Tmes-Democrot says: In new

fect--no shade trees are planted. The
same may be said of most places not
possessing the proportions of a metrop-

be very cool and agreeable indoors, it
is positive ssagony in summer to ven
tura on the outside. The streets are
rather wide and the buildings being
far from high, no shade is produced
Thus the sun has full scope for his
meic'less rays. In Louisiana we have
q great "ariety of trees, familiar to all,
that could be used for outrageous pur-
poses. In Mississippi there are ellns
and water oaks, etc--in each state q
supply ofsuitabe trees can be found.
In addition to the comfort they afford
nothing so beauties place as fine

trees.
and the same can be said of Texas.
There would be no difficulty in pro
caring the trees and their cost would
