llsmal1a Correspondence New York Ttmee.}
Yet one more scene from Mameluke
history, the last and most terrible of all.
Thirty years have elapsed since the fatal
battle of the Pyramids, and the Name.
lukes are once more swarming ali over
the land. But they have now to deal
with a foe sterner than even Bonaparte.
In the citadel of Cairo sits Mehemet Ali
Pasha, whose keen eye has long since
perceived that if he means (as he does
mean) to become sole master of Egypt,
these high.spnited warriors must be got
out OF the way by some means or other.
Accordingly he invites all the Mameluke
chiefs to q feast in the great fortress
that overhangs the city. In all the pride
and pomp of their barbaric splepdor.
with plumes waving and helmets glitter
ing in the slanting sunlight, the brave
men marched proudly into the fatal
palace whence they are never to return.
Very quietly and courteously does he
receive them, that smooth, inscrutable
man, who has already in bis secret heart
doomed them all to die. Seated at their
ease in the pillared courtyard beneath the
light of the colored lamps, with the
cool evening sky overhead, they reyel
gayly, little dreaming that the hand of
death is already appraised to strike them
all. Suddenly shriQ trumpet blast
pierces the air. Down falls the screens
that mask the encircling colonnades, re-.
vealing long ranks of armed soldiers,
from whose leyeled muskets deadly
volley comes crashing among the joyous,
unthinking guests. With a cry of fury
they spring to their feet, but it is too
late. Again and again the death volley
rings out, licking up scores of brave
young lives with every blast of its fiery
breath. Through the rolling smoke the
dead are seen lying in long swatha,
their blood running red over the marble
pavement. and now the banded murder
ers come bowling in to finish their work
with musket-bu and bayonet. And all
this while the stars looked down unpity-
ing into that court of demons, from
which shrieks and shouts and death
groans rise in hideous chorus to the calm
moonlit sky, as if appealing to God,
against the cruelty of man. One solitary
warrior fights his way to his horse,
vaults on it's back, and dashing through
his swarming enemies to the edge Of the
parapet overhanging the town, plunges
with last shout Of defiance into the
black gulf below, to survive that fearful
leap as if by miracle, aud to live forever
in history as the last Of the once formid-
able Mamelukes.

BY ORDER OF COMMITTEE.
The Floral Committee as above
named are requested to meet as soon
as practicable, to make all necessary
arrangements for procuring flowers for
decoration purposes. AS the season
has been very backward, and flowers,
usually so abundant this time of the
years, are now SO scarce, 1 hope our
citizens will not hesitate to give liber-
ally of what they may have, for the
purpose of decorating the graves of our
heroic dead.
We do not expect by these memoir

and lie buried in our cemeteries, or
whose bones lie bleaching upon the
numerous battle fields where they
yielded up their lives, for they are
long since beyond all human aid; but
we do expect to impart to the genera
ton that has come, and those who are to
come, the knowledge of what sacrifices
were made. and of the lives that were
given that this nation might live. We
also expect to show to the grey haired
fathers and mothers of our deceased
that we still preserve the
Of their boys--our comrades
they gave in defense of this glorious
Union.

LIES Vicissitudes.

Jennie June, in one of her letters to
the st. Louis Globe Democrat digresses
from her talk about fashion long enough
to relate these touching incidents, illus
trating the painful vicissitudes that
wealth and society are submitted to:
The other day check was sent to the
Especial order" department of a large
Broadway house, which, it was explained,
was the payment for an outfit provided
for an infant which had been left moth
erless and taken charge of by a rich and
doting maternal grandmother. Only
two years before the same house had fur,
nished the trousseau for the lovely young
bride. Now the grief of the mother at
the loss of the daughter she loved found
consolation in lavish outpouring of
rich gifts upon the head of the uncon-
scious baby she had left. 1t was five
months old now, and to be short-coated.
This was the occasion for the outfit,
which included nineteen real lace dresses,
a coat of corded silk, hand embroidered
and trimmed with fine white duchess
lace, white cloth coat lined with silk
and trimmed with Florentine lace, and a
A"NO zap % lNOl VI SOlL waves VI IdCG
and narrow satin ribbon and marabout
feathers. In the department where this
order was executed hung silk quilt of
very dainty workmanship-some of the
pieces embroidered, some hand-painted.
This quilt was made on and sent from
the ''free bed" of hospital bya woman
once rich who had spent thousands of
dollars at the same store, but now thank
fully availed herself of the interest of
one of its proprietors in an institution
to procure a shelter; place to die in,
and the means to die decently, Her
husband had specialized and lost. Her
health had declined. She had no friends
willing to take in and provide for
woman used to luxury and dying of can
Ger, and it was through the interest of
this plying merchant who had known
her in her prosperous days that she was
so far relieved from her terrible position
as to be placed under shelter and kindly
cared for.

Books made of CLAY.

Far away beyond the plains of Mesopo
tamia, on the banks of the river Tigris.
lie the ruins of the ancient city of Nine
web. Not long since large mounds of
Garth and stone marked the place where
the palaces and walls of the proud cap
ital of the Assyrian empire stood The
spade, first of the Frenchman then of the
Engllshman, has cleared all the earth
away, and laid bare all that remained
of the OLD streets and palaces where
the princes OF Assyria walked and
lived. The gods they worshiped and
the books they read have all been re
vealed to the sight of wondering
world. The most curious of all the
curious things preserved in this won
derful manner are the clay books
of Nineveh. The chief library of
Nineveh was contained in the
palace of Konyuniik. The clay
books which it contains are composed of
sets of tablets covered with very small
writing. The tablets are oblong in shape,
and when several of them are used for
one book, the first line of the tablet fol-
lowing was written at the end of the one
preceding 1t. The writing on the tablets
was, of course, done when the clay was
soft, and then it was baked to harden it.
Then each tablet or book was numbered.
and assigned to a place in the library
with corresponding number, so that the
librarian could readily find it, just as our
librarians of to-day number the books we
read. Among these books are to be
found collections of hymns Ito the gods,
descriptions of animals and birds, stones
and vegetables, as well as history, travels,
etc. The Assyrians and Babylonians are
great students of astronomy. The method
Of telling time by the sun, and of mark
ing it by the instrument called sun
dial, was invented by the latter nation.
None of our modern clocks and watches
can be compared to the sun-dial accu-
racy. Indeed, we have to regulate our
modern inventions by the old Babylonian
system.

A Modest Man.

Chinese Gordon, one of the bravest OF
modern soldiers, has an honorable
hatred ofpublicity, and sensitive shrink
ing from laurels and laudations. An in
cident recorded in the story of his life il
Illustrates these characteristics. He had
sent his journal of the TAPPING war
home from China, "not wishing it to be
seen outside his family. A minister in
terested in the rebellion heard of the
manuscript, and was so struck by its con
tents that he sent it to the press in order
that his colleague might have the benefit
of reading it. Late one evening it SO
happened that Gordon inquired about his
journal. He was told what had occur
red. He arose from the table, left the
house, and posted off to the minister's
residence. Not finding him at home, he
went to the printers, demanded his man
uscript, and gave orders that what copies
had been printed should be destroyed
and the type broken up. What even
tually befell the manuscript is unknown,
but it is certain that no one has seen it (;
in ract, there is every probability of its
having been destroyed. y Cincinnati Sat.

WORDS OF WISDOM.


Fine feelings, without vigor of reason,
are In the situation of the extreme
feathers of peacock's tail-dragging in
the mud.
The only way to make the mass OF
mankind see the beauty of justice is by
showing them in pretty plain terms the
consequence of injustice.
As good almost kill a man as kill q
good book; who kills man kills rea.
sonable creature, Gods image; but he
who destroys a good book kills reason
itself.
Those men who destroy healthfu.
constitution of body by intemperance and
an irregular life do as manifestly kin
themselves as those who hang, or poison
Or drown themselves.
Henry Ward Beecher says: "There are
multitudes of men like dandelions-at
first they look like disks of gold, and
after few days puff will destroy them
and no one knows where they WERE"
The heart of man is older than his
head, The frst-born is sensitive, but
blind; his younger brother has a cold,
but all comprehensive glance. The blind
must consent to be led by the clear
sighted, if he would avoid falling.
