A Mine of Mnmmies.

In the northeastern delta of the Nile,
on the banks of canal which connects
zagazig with Lake AIenzaleh, are found
two places named San-Arab San and
San-el-Hagar. San el. Hagar perhaps
the most extraordinary spot in Egypt
is city of the dead. 1t was a magnifi.
cent capital, more splendid in some re
spects than Thebes. The canal was then
a noble river. The neighboring lake was
a fertile plain studded with towns and
temples. Now the city, as its name in
dicates, is heap of ruins. n-el-Hagar
means "San of the Stones" Its an
cient name was 'Tsau. We
find 1t so written in the
hleroglyphs. The Hebrews converted
'Tsan into Tanis, The place remained
unexplored till the late Marietta Pacha,
with small means and few men, first at
tackled the site of the principle temple
In 1861. From time to time, when u few
hundred of francs could be spared from
other enterprises, he continued the work,
and his efforts were rewarded by this dis
coveTy of vast treasure of broken obe-
lisks, sphinxes, shrines, architraves, col
umns and statues of gods and kings.

Some have found their way to the

heads, trunks, giants limbs scattered,

iette left the scene of his labor, and
thus it has remained ever since his
death. Such is the site which the Egypt
Exploration Fund (now in the second
year of its existence) after some negoti-
alton with the Egyptian Government has
to explore. Mr.. Flinders
Petrie is engaged in prosecuting the ex-
cavations.

The CingaIese.

All the people in Ceylon, from babes
just ''feeling their feet" to old men and
women, their steps totteiing on the
brink of the grave wear gold and silver
ornaments. They even invent new
places for carrying them, and it is no un-
common thing to see a Cingalese belle
with the top of her ears covered with
gold plate or wire, a large pair of rings
pendant from the lobes of the ear, gold
or silver circlet round her hair, her nose
adorned with rings, bracelets on her
wrists, rings on her fingers, and silver
plates on her toes. This is the. per-
lection of adornment; but in one or
other of the fashions, or in several of
them, the Cingalese woman, of whatever
station in life, is set forth. l saw run
ming out of house a sturdy little boy
two years of age who had nothing on
but silver key fastened around his
waist by girdle of silver wire. The
men take their pleasure less extensively.
They delight in gold earrings and rings,
but beyond this are contented to intrust
the recommendation of their personal ap-
Pearance to a fine tortoise shell comb Of
circular shape, set on the crown of their
heads, with the ends toward the fore
head. The men evidently pride them
selves on their hair, which is generally
drawn back from their forehead and tied
in neat knot at the back AS they
wear earrings, and not always whiskers
or mustache, it is not easy at first sight
to distinguish man from a woman

Both the Mason & Hamlin organs and

excellence in any musical instrument, quality
of tone Othe things. though important,are
much less so than this. An instrument with
unmusical tones cannot be good musical in

such matter. An inferior quality OF tone

What Bather Can Do in Salt Lake.

A bather can lie on the surface of the
water of the Great Salt lake without ex-
ertion; or, by passing a towel under his
knees and holding the two ends, he can
remain in any depth of water kneeling,
with the head and shoulders out of
water; or, by shifting it under the soles
of the feet, he can sit on the water. The
one exertion, in fact, is to keep ones
balance; none whatever is required to
keep afoat. The only danger, there
fore, arises from choking by accidental
ly swallowing some of the water, for the
strength of the brine is so intense that
the muscles of the throat are conyulsed,
and strangulation ensues. --Sab Lake

fault to find of the teacher.

dispatch from Braxton @. H., w.
Va, says: /" Louis Baggs, the leader
of a band of cattle thieves who have
inflicted heavy loss on farmers near
Savagetown, Braxton county, was
killed day or two ago by officers
while resisting arrest. William Bar
net swore out a warrant for Baggs
and his wife and gave it to John
Shuttleworth and Ellis Wine to serve.
Baggs, hearing that the officers were
after him, left his home and hid in
the house OF friend in Savagetown.
Here The officers found him and
summoned him to surrender. Baggs
had Ratchet in one hand and kept
the other behind him. He handed
the Ratchet to Wine. who turned
around, when Baggs leveled revol-
yer at him. Shuttleworth sprang to
the rescue with a revolver in each
hand and told Baggs to drop his
weapon. Baggs told him with an
oath to shoot, which Shuttleworth
did, killing him.

EXHIBITS FROM ABROAD.

Prominent among the exhibits was the
Taber Organ display represented by Mr.
l. b. Secrist of Hagerstown. who had sew
eral fine instruments on exhibition. Mr.
Secrist is an old, reliable organ dealer,
and makes an entry at our fair every
year, always taking the first premium on
his Taber organ. He has sold a great
many organs to our people in town and
county, all giving satisfaction. The
judges have closely examined his organs
as to the material used in their construc-
ton, the quality of their finish and supe-
riority of their tone, and have unani-
mously given the first premium to the
Taber. Mr.. Secrist is clever, affable
gentleman, and sells organs, considering
their standard make, at astonishingly
low prices.
The display of fine carriages and bug
giles by Thrush, Perlett and Slough. man.
ufacturers and dealers, Chambersburg.
Pa, was a worthy contribution to our
Fair. They have been taking premiums
for the last four years and are no strang-
ers here. They do none but solid, first
class home made work, which has won
for them reputation and a name in
Southern Pennsylvania, Maryland and
forty years in existence, devote them
selves exclusively to fine light coach
work and it is said whoever procures a
buggy from that firm will always be sure
to buy again. They sold quite number
of buggies here during the Fair and took
the first premium on light running bug
giles. Mr.. Slough, one of the firm is a
genial gentleman, thoroughly alive to
IN,
judges examined their work very closely
and pronounced it first-elass as to design,
workmanship, durability and finish and
rewarded them accordingly.
Another valuable exhibit is that of the
Crowell Manuf. Co., of Greencastle, Pa.
This firm has been entering their drills
for competition for the past several
years-always taking premiums on their
goods. Encouraged by the number of
sales of their drills they have this year
made afine exhibition of several kinds of
machinery manufactured by them, a
portable engine which bore off the first
premium over all others exhibited, grain
Separator. grain drill, and steam traction
engine. This Engine was run by boy
OF IL years of age who had complete con-
troll of it. 1t has several new features
which will commend it to purchasers /; it
is said to be the strongest, the highest rum
ming, the most easily controlled, has rub
Der springs in wheel doing away with all
that unpleasant jolting on rough roads,
has full water line above crown sheet SO
that in ascending and descending hills
the crown sheet is always covered and
hence can be no stoppage as in others, is
simpler constructed, is much lower than
others and therefore cannot be SO easily
upset. This is the first appearance among
our people of the new engine and very
favorable opinions were expressed by
the farmers who watched it while in
operation. The Gen. Agent, Mr.. Milton
Ewers and Supt. II. B. Larzellere. were
both here and are both men of wide ex-
perience in their business and clever gen.
tlemen and mean to build up trade in
this section of country.

SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH.

The grounds upon which the Re-
publican and Democratic parties APP
peal to the voters of Berkeley Coun-
ty for their support, are every day
being brought out palmer and more
in contrast. Last week the States
man admitted that the policy of Will
sons campaign was not OH any mer-
its or issues, but to whip the party
men into line by appeal to party
prejudice-by forcing men into the
Democratic party or driving them
out. AS far as we can judge, the
Republican party appeals to reason,
argument and facts. The industries
ofWest Virginia demand protection /;
the Republicans advocate protec-
ton, while all but one of the Demo
cratic representatives voted for the
Morrison free trade bill. The Re
publican record in this State exempt
ed certain products of the farm from
taxation. The Democratic admins.
tratiOn set itself above the law; Will
son Is more of an administration
than party candidate; he defended
the " instructions to Assessors be-
fore the convention and excused
them after the convention. The
State is heavily in debt, the lands
have time and again been re-assess-
ed; the Illegal assessment was the
only hope open to the men who man.
aged the State government it was
proposed by the leaders of the party,
sustained by the Judges of the Court
of Appeals who are now running for
re election in the light of all these
facts how can the party with any
justice deny the responsibility in the
matter and place the whole blame
upon Gov. jackson 1? These are
truths the farmers and taxpayers
should study well, for what has been
done will and must under the same
circumstances be done again. Judge
Maxwell can do no worse and if he
does not do better, your votes can
put the party out of power again as
easily as it can put it in.
