An Egyptian Battalion 400 B. c.

The formation of the battalion for
combat was as follows:
The 100 captains formed the front
rank of the battalion, and each cap
tain had his 100 men in file behind him,
corporal at the head of each nine men.
The chief of each |, 200 men was in front
of the center of his two companies,
while the colonel commanding the
grand battalion was in front of its cen
ter.
The leaders were not mounted on
horseback, but were mounted in two
wheeled chariots drawn usually by two
horses. In the chariots were carried a
supply of iaveline and arrows for the
use of the chief, who usually had in the
chariot with him soldier, who held a
buckler to cover him from the arrows
of the enemy, while he dealt about him
with his bow and spears.
In the early days, and down to the
time of Sesostris, the officers and non
commissioned officers carried bueklers
and swords, while the private soldiers
of infantry carried each buckler and
battle az Sometimes the battle-ax
was accompanied by, and sometimes re-
placed by a spear.
1t is easy to see that Moses drew from
the military organization of Egypt that
which he adopted for the Israelites, and
later on the Greeks their formations.
Both these nations took their first les
sons in civilization and organization
from Egypt.
In the earliest monuments and re-
cords of the Egyptian army there is no
sign of the existence of the horse as a
military animal, while in the monu-
ments of the Eighteenth dynasty, the
war horse is ever, where indicated 1t
is probable that the warh horse was first
introduced by the Shepherd Kings, who
came in from Syria about 1000 years
ago. It is certain that the horse formed
an important agent in the military es-
| tablishment of Egypt, under the legiti-
mate Kings of the country, LOO years
before the Christian era, and the lack
of monuments erected during the 500
: years Of struggle between the Shep
herd Kings and the Thebans explains
easily the lack of record on this subject.
Sesostris had at one time 20, 900 war
chariots in line drawn by horses. - Gen.

filled the afr and blinded both officers

even if you have chronic nasal catarrh in its
worst stages, for although this amount of re-
ward has for many years been offered by the
proprietors of DR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, for
any case of catarrh they cannot cure, yet not
withstanding that thousands use the Remedy
they are seldom called upon to pay the reward,
and when they have been so called upon they
have universally found that the failure to cure
was wholly due to some overlooked complica-
ton, usually easily removed by slight modi-
fication of the treatment Therefore, if this
should meet the eye of anybody who has made
faithful trial of this great and world-famed
Remedy without receiving perfect and per-
manent cure therefrom, that person will do
well to either call upon or write to the propri-
etors, the Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-

lief Ihst the dull times of which
merchants and capitalists complain
$50 loudly is in large measure, if
not entirely, due to the course of
merchants themselves. Any man
capable o: running successful
business lad tie intelligence to
know, during the cut in railroad
rates last fall, that every pound OF
goCds he brought into Utah that
could be supplied from home Sources
would tent to paralyZs the efforts
of the farmer, and that his power
to purchase from the merchant was
curlailed in proportion as his mar,
ket was lest and as the price of his
toll was reduced by a reduction in
the marketable value Of the products
Of that toll. 1t will not do to de.
clare he should sell cheaper:
be couldn't. The Utah farmer
was hemmed in, while the foe
that stands ever ready at his gate
was allowed to rush in pell nell and
sieze on the market which by right
of commerce and by right of recip-
rocity belonged to him; ard this foe
find a ready abetsor in Utah mer-
chants. Had the Utah farmer been
allowed to 60 beyond his bounds and
compete with the foe, at the home
of that foe then much ground for
Just complaints would have been re-
moved; but this was not done. And
the result is what? The country is
overlooking with farm products that
can not be converted into cash; the
farmer suffers, and the merchant
troubles because of his own folly.
We heartily endorse the state
ments of Mayor Jennings; they are
true, and we believe that merchants
must zee the force of what we say.
We ask them to help the farmer
let the farmer help then, and it
shall be the aim of THE HERALD to
render both all the assistan ;e it
can command.

WORTHY OF CONGRATULATIONS.

The people of Salt Lake have
sdone themselves proud" in the
matter of the trial of the murderer
Hopt. Fer a week past there have
been on the streets and in and about
the court room, many men who
would have delighted In taking part
in the lynching of the fellow; that
this course be pursued mas quite
frequently been suggested, and
above whisper, but happily never
in such a manner as to arc use the
latent fury of the crowd to deg ee
beyond control. An evil-disposed
person, or even an enthusiastic one
might at any time within the week
have raised mob that would have
made short work of Hopt, or brought
death to many Of themselves at the
hands Of the MarshsPs well-organ-
lied force Of deputies and guards
men, who have been constantly en-
the alert to protect the prisoner and
preserve the law. Men, however,
have held themselves back, their
wisdom controlling their passion,
and the miserable man has been al
lowed to again enjoy that right of
every persona fair trial. The YER
diet is what all know it must
be, and is righteous if ever
the finding of jury were righteous.
The prosecutor is satisfied, the par
ents aud friends of the murdered
boy are satisfied, and the public is
content in the belief that at last
justice will assert herself IN a man
ner to strike terror to the hearts Of
evil doors, and also to mete out the
ordained punishment upon one who
has merited the awful fate which
awaits him. THE HERALD con-
graduates the excited and deter
mined people of Salt Lake
City who have been able
during these anxious days, to
control and restrain themselves; it
congratulstes the court and its OFF,
GERS upon the manner in which the
trial has been conducted and the
peace preserved. Few communities
would or could have been held back
under similar circumstances. The
matter is something Of which the
community may feel proud.
