The oldest piece of Egyptian leather in
the British Museum is the Bremner
(Rhoid) scroll, containing portion of

1900 b. c., and the scroll is now carefully
preserved in a tin case; the leather is so
powdery that its custodians are almost
afraid to touch it. The color is that of
bright and light new oak sole leather, and
perfectly clean. This is believed to be the

rho rrnosItion of ono Future.

Vast sums Of money have been appro-
priated by Congress during recent years for
temporary expositious, such rs were held at
Philadelphia in 1876, and at New Orleans
in 1855. But, while the money thus ap-
propriated was, no doubt, used to the
greatest transitory advantage, IL was suili-
GENTLY large to have established a perma-
nent exposition in Washington-a standing
exhibit of American manufactures, arts and
sciences that would have continually added
to the CORY Of the Republic. We locate
such permanent exposition In Washington
because it is the centre Of national interest.
Cities like Chicago and 81. Louis are too
far West, and New o rlesns Is too far South
to attract visitors, year after year, to the
single feature of an exposition. Almost
every citizen Of this country is desirous Of
visiting the National Capital at some Pc
riod in his life, aud IL he can be persuaded
that his visit will combine the truly
American idea of business with pleasure,
transportation would receive an extraordi-
nary impetus.
1t is charged against our people who re-
main at home that they have not travelled"
It is charged against our people who go
abroad that they should have "done" their
own continent before trying the curiositio5
and beauties Of the old world. Americans
do rot remain at home because they have
no desire to travel, but because the CONNER.
cial spirit has predominated, and the rest
less energy of the new world has frowned
severely on the idle tourist. Given the
slightest foundation for business trip, the
mass Of this country would shortly become
nation of travellers. permanent exposi-
tion at Washington would furnish that
foundation, enlarging the commercial and
intellectual vision Of our own people, aud
advertising to the world the wondrous re-.
tources and progress of this great country.
A reasonable appropriation by Congress
perhaps small at nrst-could be made the
nucleus ofan exposition here which could be
gradually increased and strengthened into
an invaluable aid to trade and commerce.
To obtain that nucleus it is only necessary
that the citizens of Washington should in
terest themselves and their friends, keeping
steadily in view the national character Of
the project and its permanent influence on
the traffic of all the States. At any rate the
question is one which should have i'm.
mediate and serious attention.
The Evening critic., 1885-04-30
An Extra Session.

On general principles an extra session of
Congress is never advisable. Nor until
within very recent period has The CRITIC
been able to see any possible necessity for
departing from 60 safe general rule this
year.
We have recognized the fact that the
commercial interests of the country appear
TO be best subserved when given rest from
Congressional interference and time to
adjust themselves to such changes as may
bavebee previously legislated and it has
also been our belief that the new Admin
istration could best establish itself in the
public esteem and more easily carry for
ward its work of reform if left free from
the antagonizing influences of the legisla-
tive department.
But an emergency is at hand that de-
mands prompt and extraordinary considera-
tion. War between the two greatest powers
OF Europe seems inevitable. The misfor-
tunes of those governments, in the natural
order of events, must lead temporarily, at
least, to the prosperity of some other nation
"a neutral in the contest-and why should
not the United States profit by its oppor-
tunity? The civilized world naturally ex-
poets this Government to reap the principal
advantage of the impending conflict, and
there is every natural reason why these ex-
pee ations should be realized.
Before the hopes of this country could be
fulfilled in commercial way, however, it
Is absolutely necessary that the registra.
tion laws regarding foreign ships should be
repealed. If this is done, and vessels not
constructed in the United States are al
lowed to sail under the American flag, we
would control the carrying trade Of the
world in ninety days thereafter. The reg
istration law was war measure, and it
should have been repealed twenty years
ago. Its repeal now, in the event of war
between England and Russia would neces-
state an extra session of Congress, creating
an emergency within the meaning Of tho
Constitution which President Cleveland
would undoubtedly recognize as a rare
chance to build up the commerce of this
country.
Therefore, on a purely commercial basis
ard for the best commercial reasons, an
extra session will be necessary if war be-
tween Russia and England is declared.

THE Maryland Branch of the Salvation
Army has succeeded in getting its peculiar
religious tonets on financial basis by filing
articles of incorporation at Baltimore. The
particular business of the society is the
evangelization of the masses, mutual i'm.
provement in religious knowledge and the
furtherance of religious opinion. 1t is
startliDgly iconoclastic to regard Chris
