how deep and pleasing an impression
this famous American diva has made
upon the musical public OF New Orleans.
Her performance In concert only whets
the desire to hear her in opera, where all
the capabilities of her voice, the excel

her manner may be brought out. She sang
last night with much power and sweetness
the "Inyolami" from Ernanli "lch Liebe
Dichn by Forster, and Gilda's part IN a
fine quartet from "Rigoletto." She Is
well supported by Miss Montegrlifo, CON
tIalto, who has good voice, well
schooled, with some very pleasing notes
IN it. She is also quite handsome, which
is not the least Of her attractions. MIR.

Rameses II.

On June 1st an event OF remar kable
interest took place in Cairo, being moth
ing lees than the unrolling, IN the pre-
sence OF the Khedlve and distinguished
company. OF the mummy of the greatest
of the Egyptian kings, Rameses H., the
Sesostris of the Greeks, who carried his
victorious army into Asia about fifteen
hundred years before Christ, and that of
his con, Rameses III The head of the
great monarch appeared elongated, and
rather small. The top of the head was
quite bald, as might be expected in a
man who reigned sixty-seven years, and
died at the age OF nearly hundred.
There was a white hair on the temple.
The forehead is low and narrow; the eyes
small, and close to the nose; the nose
long and thin the ears round and prom
inent, and pierced The lips are thick,
and some few teeth are seen, well worn.
The expression is not very intelligent,
somewhat animal, but strong, obstinate,
and with certain air of majesty The
breast is large, the shoulders high. the
arms crossed over the breast, the hands
thin and colored with henna, as are tie
thin feet.
There is innovation upon the customs
of royalty even in the land OF the Pha
raohs. The present Khedjves grand
mother died July 18th from paralysis Of
the heart, and her funeral took place in
the afternoon. At o'clock the cortege
set out headed by bullocks, which were
atterward slaughtered at the mosque and
distributed to the poor, with baskets OF
bread. Then came guard Vounted
police and $50 men of Herveys black
gendamerie. These were followed by
Egyptian cavalry and artillery and the
Seventh and Third Battalions of Foot.
Alter these came the Khedive on foot, as
chief mourner, accompanied by Gen. Ste
phenson and his staff Sir H. D Wolff,
Moulkhtar Pasha, Sir Evelyn Barring,
with other Ministers and high officials,
also followed as mourners. Then came
the coffin, preceded by boys swinging
censers OF incense. Lastly followed a
crowd of hired weeping women in enor-
nous number. The harem and some pri-
vate carriages closed the procession. The
streets were thronged throughout the
whole length of the route, but order was
well kept by the police.

Now that parents are looking about for de-

full and healthy town of Liberty, Bedford coun-

talent possessed by her father Rev. w s. White

Tricks Of Vision.

NJ Emil Sorel, in La Nature, says;
"There are days on which, in certain
weather, and despite the curvature of
the earth, the distance of visibility is
doubled or more than doubled. This
phenomenon is explained to us by
well known law of physics. five throw
a coin into an empty vessel, it will be
hidden by the edge of the latter, at
certain distance; but if we fill the YES
sal with water, the coin VII become
visible We have here a case of re-
fraction such as is explained in ele
mentary works on physcs Every one
also knows the theory of the mirage
put forth by the celebrated Monge, who
explains the phenomenon as due to a
diminuton of the airs density in con-
tact with the superheated earth. A
contrary theory will explain the mirage
at sea. While the sun is making the
atmosphere intensely hot, the sea and
the strata of air in contact herewith
remain relatively cold, and the strata
become suberposed in the order of
their density. a luminous ray ema-
nating from the sea win pass from one
stratum into another of less density,
there will be a refraction, and an OBJ ect
beneath the hoIi on will be seen above
it. This theo y suppo,es two condi-
tons, to wit, n heating OF the atmosr here,
while the sea and the earth remain re-
la.ivey cold and calmness of it to per-
NIT it strata to become superposed in
the order OF their density. 1t is pre-
else when these two conditions are
fulfilled that the phenomenon of the
mirage occurs. On snch days ships rise
instead of descending in measure as they
recede. As the horizon is perceived by
direct visibility, ship is finally seen
above tie horizon as if it were suspended

The Two OYSTERS.

Two Oysters, one of which was sick
and the other well, were one day taking
a walk, when the healthy Oyster said:
"You are a miserable creature. You
are so infirm that you can't enjoy your
self, and if an enemy were to get after
you, you would be too weak to make
your escape. Now look at me; why
don't you brace up and look like this9 1
feel like an athlete and / have a digestion
like an ostrich"
Just then two men camc along, and
each one swallowed an Oyster. But the
sick Oyster made supreme effort,
climbed out of the stomach into which it
had been forced, and made its escape; !;
while the healthy Oyster died an igno-
minious death in tank OF gastric juice.

Furniture Lumber,

Furniture makers are to-day using
lumber which was called worthless ten
years ago. Whitswood or poplar is
used in immense quantities, notwith.
standing its warping qualities. The
growing scarcity of our natural supply
Of lumber leads manufacturers to expert
ment with so-called worthless" varie-
ties. Cypress is working into favor for
architectural finish, and we would not
be surprised if some enterprising manu-
facturer should come out with most de-
'sisable piece of furniture, possessing a
delicate, and flnely-marked grain, and
yet consisting of nothing but unpreten-
tious cypress. Hard pine makes nice
looking job when tinis he'd in good shape,
but has the serious objection of being
full of pitch. Cypress has much the
same appearance as hard pine, but the
pitch is happily absent The wood COM
monty known as gum. has been sue
cessfully utilized. 1t is being worked
into great many forms, despite its we'll
known warping qualities, which al e rep
resented as being so great that the lum-
Der twill not stay in the same county two
successive nights" We are informed
that picture frames have been success
fully made of gum wood, and rumor adds
that the very qualities that have hith-
erto condemned it have been utilize1 in
the manufacture Of self rocking cradles.

Breaking Bad News.

The Bavarian idea of gently breakin 9
bad news is peculiar. When King Lud-
wig committed suicide the court chap
lain was deputized to convey the sad in
telligence to his mother. The chaplain
hunted up text in the Bible suitable to
the occasion, and having obtained an au-
dieuce with the Kings mother read the
text. She seemed to rather enjoy it,
whereupon he read it over again. Then
she looked puzzled, whereupon he read
4 the third time, and the attendants,
who knew the King was dead, began to
weep. The royal lady trembled both
mentally and physically. She tainted
away and the chaplain CONSIDERABLY
withdrew. .-Kansas CITY Journal.
