Some three thousand years ago,
"when the Memnonium was in all it's
glory" and the swart Egyptian was
laid to rest, awaiting, in many in
stances, a corporeal resurrection to
a glass case in a provincial museum,
the loving hands of relatives not in
frequently swathed the body with
flowers and leaves. The Christian
custom of ransacking and spelling
the tombs of the Egyptians-a GUS
tom scarcely deemed Christian when
a grave is oyerhauled nowadays
has revealed very many interesting
historical, social and domestic items,
and the recent discovery of speci-
mems of the fora of early Egypt is
not one of the least noteworthy

Osman Digna has been overthrow
by General Graham, so far as the
first engagement is concerned. The
fight was for short time quite hot,
the Arabs coming to close quarters
with the British, and displaying a
determined fanaticism. The Eng
ish squares remained firm, but once
or twice had as much as they could
do to hold their own. The rebel
camp was taken. British loss about
two hundred killed and wounded,
Arab loss about $500. Digna fled
to the hills, with a reward of $4,000
for his head. This proclamation
has been withdrawn by orders from
London. Zobehr Pasha advises that
Soudan be subdued by pacific means
leaving slavery to go when the Sou
danese see the superior benefits Of
civilization. The Government seems
to be in doubt as to the next steI

means annihilated. Graham ask:

NEWS AND NOTES.

The soil of the Plateau is becom-
ing generally to be understood as
adaped to fruit culture, and to
special crops, rather than to those
of corn and wheat and the heavier
products. For grasses of all kinds
it is widely celebrated. By some the
soil is said to be too light, too sandy,
ever to be of such use as to attract
he farmer and the gardener, but this
is said by those who do not know, or
remember, that at many places in
this country, notably in New Jersey,
and particularly at Vineland in that
State, the soil from being almost a
blowing sand, has by constant and
intelligent management been brought
into such cultivation as to challenge
comparison with any other section.
The sand in the soil of the Cumber-
land Plateau is just enough for the
best garden and fruit purposes. If
the Vineland soil might at one time
be called poor, ours, as it is naturally,
is rich indeed, and does not require
half to be done to it to bring it into
the fruitful condition of theimproved
lands of New Jersey.
AS an instance of what has been
done at Vineland, we may mention
MIR. Bingham's eighty-acre farm
which produced last year, with large
crops ofgrapes, apples, Strawberries
peaches, currants and even a good
yield of corn, $1,000 quarts Of black
berries, netting $500, and 1900
quarts of raspberries, selling fol
5000. His sweet potato crop from
sixteen acres in 1882, gave 900 bar
rels, which sold for So, $50. If sucl
can be done in New Jersey, mucl
more can be obtained upon thi
plateau, with its light loan and fin
climate.

The Baltimore american gives a
good "Hint to the South" when it
says, minnesota during the past
four years advertised her resources
in Europe through 100000 maps,
and circulars. The annual cost was
$4,000. Last year upwards of 3d.
900 immigrants were attracted to
the State. The Southern States
have been complaining that they
receive but a paltry part of the i'm
migrants. Let them follow Mime
sofas example. Let them adver-
tise." That is the secret of success,
so much so that it is an axiom in
business that advertising is to trade
what steam is to machinery. To be
known we must make ourselves
known. The amount of advertising
Tennessee gets is small indeed, and
the returns are just as small. We
have all Minnesota or any Other
Northern State has to offer, anC
more, our valleys being equally pro-
ductive, and our high lands superior
to anything up there, while our eli
mate and general freedom from ele-
mental disturbances find no counter.
