Taken from the Tomb of Mummy.
Wa hington Letter in Augusta Chronicle.
Senator Brown and Hon. S. S.
Cox are warm personal friends
and occasional correspondence.
The other day the minister to
Turkey, who is now taking his va
cation in Egypt, wrote q very in
teresting letter tc the Georgia
Senator. Near the ruins of
Thebes, Mr.. Cox and his wife,
guided by the celebrated archmol-
ogist, Maspero, investigated a
newly opened tomb OF an agricult-
'urist, who died 1000 years ago.
The mummy was found in excel
lent preservation, aid the painted
symbols on tho walls were asfpesh.
as the flowers OF May~ Among
the objects long buiied with this
farmer was twig of cotton in
bloom, which was as perfect as If
just wrested from the field.
Alongside tho iieeoy boil Mrs.
Cox has placed blue harebell
which grew by the brink Of the
mystic Nile. Senator Brown will
plant one of tho seeds of this won-
derfully ancient boil and hopes to
perpetuate it in North Georgia

MAJOR BseoN
GIVES HIS VIEWS ON THE RAILROAD
COMMISSION QUESTION.

| - - =
In the Macon Telegraph we
find letter Of Maj. A. O.. Bacon
in reply to one FROM Mr.. Donald
Balm, of Atlanta, giving his views
concerning the State railroad COM
mission.
He says that when the law was
enacted which created the com-
mission, he was a member of the
Legislature and favored and as
sisted in the enactment of the
same. He holds that to prevent
antagoEisms and to secure and
maintain harmonious relations bei
tween the public and the rail-
roads, there is no better agency
tllan a commission, actnated by
right views of its duty. He as
serts that it should be a thorough
ly impartial tribunal, to judge be-
tween the people and the rail-
roads, to guard the public against
oppression and to inflict no unne-
cessary injury on the railroads.
lie regards the continuance of the
commission as the settled policy
of the State, founded in the deep
conviction of our people rs to its
propriety and necessity and dep-
recates the idea that it should be
perverted into a means by which
to foment discord and create di-
vision among our people. AS to
the vital question OF maintaining
the commission with powers ne
cessary for ito efficiency, he states
that there is little or no division
among the people of the State and
that differences which exist as to
matters Of detail can be adjusted
by the Democratic State Oonven-
ton when it assemblies. He calls
attention to the fact that for six
toen years the white people of
Georgia have maintained control
of tho State government by ad-
herring to tho Democratic organi-
cation and by settling among
themselves all differences as to
men and measures; resul ting in
restored prosperity aud a sound
public and private credit. He ov-
idently desires to soc a continu-
ance of this wise policy and IN
conclusion stato5 that he has al-
ways yielded promptly to the de-
cision of the party and will al-
ways do so in the future and that
the principles add policy dnnounc-
ed by the convention soon to as
-semble, relative to tho lailao,sd
commission as we'll as to other
matters of State concern, will be
accepted by him as binding upon
his individual judgement and ac-
tion.-Milledgevilie Union.

A Brave Kansas Girl.
From the New Orleans StaAs.

A healthy Kansas girl has dis
covered way to prevent HYDRO
phobia which is guaranteed never
to miss fire, and is so simple that
it will be sure to recommend itself
to the civilized nations of the
world. 1t appears that little
dog belonging to the Kansas
Young woman went mad, and with
Il look in his eyes as green as an
early cucumber, commenced howl
ing and swapping at everything in
sight. Instead Of following the
example Of the other members of
the family, and hurriedly hunting
for a high roost, the brave and
buxom Kanfa3 lass picked up a
large washtub and stood her
ground, and when the infuriated
dog came raging toward her sho
quietly clappod the tub over him
an1 then sat down on the bottom
Of it, and allowed the mad canine
to whirl around inside while she
coolly arranged her front hair.
The Kansas girl was of solid
weight and broad Of beam, and
the smothered howls and constant
humping inside the tub did not
make her the least bit nervous,
because she knew that as long &s
she kept her seat there was no
earthly hopo for the dog. She
continued to sit ON tho tub until
some of the neighbors came to
her assistance, when a whole was
bored in the side, a pistol barrel
inserted, and the dog killed. The
admirable nerve and presence OF
mind OF the Kansas girl has ena-
blod her to demonstrate in a very
satisfactory manner the efficacy OF
gashtub as o preventive of hy-
drophobia, and tho world should
profit by her discovery.

Why do Doctors Prescribe L'q-

Because they know not what

q little liquor serves to kindle the
exhausted fires of digestion. But
this liquor prescription is q bad

LOVES FIRST KISS.
All quivering like the tender leaf

All quivering like the tender leaf
When storms around prevail
MY frame shook like an anxious thief
Who hears disclosed his tale,
Yet in the trembling OF my heart
felt unwonted bliss;
And through the tears and inward start,
The joy of loves first kiss.
Though kisses famed my checks before,
And fond carresses warmed:
10 that they no resemblance bore
Which all my soul alarmed;
lis true they stirred my nature oft,
But nothing like to this!
They were not half so warm and soft.
So sweet as loves first kiss.
An, then tho rapture fingered long,
And lullcd my heart to rest
AS doth the melody Of song
When tuncfully expressed;
Mid earthly hopes and fears and strife,
My heart hath taught me this
That nothinSclings so long to life

ters wholesome, good-looking
sensible girls all Of them $780,
900 apiece, which should 60 to
them and their husbands abso-
lutely whenever they married, pro-
vided the husband would take the
name of Nowberry. All Of them
died spinsters. Thero was not in
Chicago a self-respecting man
worthy OF the girls who would
sell himself ont for $500,000. A
man who Is considerable does not
often venture to ask q girl to be-
come his vito when the station Of
the girl is financially better than
his. That is why it ID that rich
girls very often get very mediocre
husbands. Rich girls are not

The Niddlebury REGISTER now for more
than year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. 1t intends to CON
tinue publishing such information from week
TO week giving at least Il page to its Horse
Department. When sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place it in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and Afterwards Reg
lister of the more distinguished sires and
performers. In the latter we hope to include
all ? so performers, with their breeding, so far
as can be ascertained also to distinguish be-
tween things that are known and things that
are not known, in every pedigree. In all cas-
es the evidence upon which the pedgrees are
based will be given to the public through the
columns of THE M1DDLEBURY REGISTER. This,
we are satisfied, is what the public wants and
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THE REGISTER by reason of this extensive
information and this method OF giving it, is
rapidly becoming Indispensable to all breed
ers and horsemen. II should also be an ex-
cellent medium for advertisers, especially
those dealing in Morgan horses.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
VIEW OF THE NEW AOUEDUCT
UNDER HARLEM RIVER.

Wire Nails-Street Railway Curves-Des-
locating Garbage-The Tomato as a
Medicine for the Liver-The Aqueduct
Great Engineering Work.
The aqueduct now being built to increase
the water supply of New York city is great
work. 1t had to contend with dishonest
management in the beginning, which married
the perfect carrying on of the plan. Lives
were sacrificed to the avarce of men who APP
parently would not have hesitated to cement
the aqueduct's walls with blood. A horrible
tale of grinding the poor and the helpless to
death in connection with the progress of
building is told. That, however, has been
changed. Harlem river is a small strip of water
that passes from the Hudson across to the
sound. It is what makes New York an island.
1t is not properly river, merely connection
between the two waterways named
