An Archaeological Find in Egypt.


London Times
Gen. Grenfeil has had the good fortune
to discover an ancient Egyptian NEGRO
! polls in the Libyan desert. opposite
! Assouan. on the left bank of the Nile.
Among the tombs already opened are
| several which date from the twelfth
| dynasty (circa B. C. 3.OOO). and are CON
structed in the style of the great Lycopoli-
| tan sepulchres in the mountain above
| Stout. They consist of two or more halls
or chambers, connected by corridors. the
roof being supported by columns, and
the walls decorated with colored bas re-
liefs i'll brilliant preservation. Several
of these tombs appear to belong to mem
bers of Il noble family, the head, of
which were probably governors of the
province.
The largest is a truly magnificent sepul-
chre, measuring 40 feet in depth by 40
feet in breadth, and containing 30 col
umns-sOme square, some round. 1t pur-
ports to be the tomb of Il certain prince
of upper and lower Egypt, who lived in
the reign of one Neferkara. and who is
represented in one of the wall paintings
as 4 lame man leaning on a crutch. A
fine shrine and an altar occupy their or
iginal position i'll the innermost. chamber
and are in perfect condition.
The sculptures are very curious and
the aspect of the whole tomb Is reported
as extremely archaic. From the second
to the end of the eleventh dynasty there
were, however, many kings named Nefer-
kara: and until the inscriptions are fully
decighered it is impossible to say under
which ruler this lame funtionary flourish

the spot to the third dynasty; but it
seems for many reasons more likely to
pate from the time of that Neferkara
who succeeded Merena of the sixth dynas-
ty. The founder of this line, Att, was
native of the island of Elephantine, OPP
posite Assonan, and the place first rose
to prominence under his successors. 1t
was during the reign of Merena that Una,
a famous general and prime minister,
quarri9d the granite of AssOuan for the
sepulchre and sarcophagus of this sover-
eign, and built a fleet of thirteen vessels
at EIephantine for the transport of the
same.
Pending further details. we should
therefore be inclined to ascribe the large
tomb to nObleman of that period, es-
pecially is the neighboring twelfth dynas-
ty tOmbS are those of descendants. In
one of these latter there are found ser
les of Osiride statutes, representing the
deceased in mummied form, done in
baked clay or terra Gotta, and placed in
recesses along the corridor. This, at all
events, is an entire novelty in tomb decor
alton.
The cemetery will probably prove to be
of great extent, as there is-eridence of its
having been in use down to a late period.
The large tomb, usurped by later comers,
was found piled to the ceiling with num-
mics, mummy cases, and Itinerary furni-
ture of Roman times, including upward
of sixty memorial stele. Gen. Grenfell is
active pursuing his work of discovery by
the help of our English soldiers, who con
tinue to open and clear out tomb after
tomb.

\ TERRIBLE DISASTER.

A Dam Gives Way Destroying Il Village
Several Lives Lost.
PrrrsFnELD, Mass, April 21.-At six
O'Clock this morning the village of East
Lee, was inundated and devastated by the
breaking away of the dam at the Weed
Pond reservoir, Mountainlake, two and Il
half miles from the village. The pond
covered many acres of swamp. and was
increased from its original size by extern
sive dams built by a club of manufactur-
ers as storage place for water.
Eleven bodies have thus far been found.
and several persons are missing at East
Lee. The village received its first news
of the accident when the food came pour
ing down the street, the water being six
inches deep, and bringing with it trees,
portions of houses, fences, wagons, and
every form of movable property. The
people fled to the slopes of the valley
along which the torrent rushed and saw
their houses moved and toppled about
like chips on river.
THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE DONE.
LEE, Mass, April 21.-The disaster
throws a great many hands out of employ
ment and literally paralyzes all of East
Lees industries. The loss on property is
fully 100000, while the expense of re-
pairing the roads and the other costs that
will fall on the town will reach S2OOOO
more.
