Scenes of Carnage at the Pyramids

Long after Rameses H., Cambyses
came, and on the pyramid plain con-
quered the Egyptians, mutilated the face
of the Sphinx and broke into the true
outlines of the pyramids-ruthless con
gueror, vandal and destroyer that he
was. Twenty-four centuries after, Ma
poleon, with his conquering hosts, met
the gold-covered Mamelukes, who, rid
ing as swift as the wind and as a flame
of fire, hacked the barrels of the French
guns with their blades Of Damascus steel.
1t was like blazing volcano. All was
smoke and blood and mutilation, as
though an earthquake had come.
Dropping their heads to the sa ldle-bow,
the fearless Mamelukes rode forward and
met the awful volleys of the invader. but
only to sink in the sand. Without
horses then, and laying upon their
backs wounded, they cut at the legs of
the enemy with their keen sabIes, never
yielding until conquered by death.
And there, close to the Sphinx, one
can see now the very place whence came
up the clouds of smoke and flame amid
the yells of the demons who fought,
where lay the masses of dead and dying,
where the depleted ranks of the victims
moved along with bristling arms and
broken standards moaning aud swirling
like the sea that refuses to be quiet after
the storm. 5 r,bH6FS.

This is not the first period in the
worlds history when great men have
lived to ripe old age. George Washing
ton was rot far from three score and ten
when he died; and his great antagonist,
George ILL.,, died at the age of so.
Thomas Jefferson lived to be SO, and
Madison to be So. A large number Of
the men who have played leading parts
in building up our country, from the
Revolution until this time, have enjoyed
many years OF life.

PEPITA.

Up in her balcony where
Vines through the lattices run,
Splitting a scent on the air,
Setting a screen TO the sun,
Fair as the morning is fair,
Sweet as blossom Is sweet,
Dwells in her rosy retreat
Pepita.
Cften a glimpse of her face,
When the wind rustles the vine
Parting the leaves for a space
Gladdens this window Of mine,-
Pink in its leafy embrace,
Pink as the morning is pink,
Sweet as blossom think
Pepita.
who dwell over the way
Watch where Pepita is hid
Safe from the glare OF the day
Like an eye under its lid;
Over and over | say
Name like the song of bird,
Melody shut in a word,-
"Pepita.n
Look where the little leaves stirl
Look, the green curtains are drawni
There in blossomy blur
Breaks a diminutive dawn;
Dawn and the pink face Of her,
Name like a lisp Of the south,
Fit for n roses small mouth,

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Good Cruel

There are times when Cruel is about
the only fare allowed the invalid by the
physician. When things come to this
strait, it is fortunate for the patient if
some one in the house happens to know
how to make it. Indian meal Cruel may
be made palatable in this manner: Wet
two tabespoonfuls of the meal to a
smooth paste with cold water, aud stir it
into one pint of boiling water. Stir
occasionally while over the fire, and let
it boil half an hour. Be very careful not
to let it scorch. II it becomes too thick,
add more water. Season with salt,
sugar, lemon juice and grated nutmeg.
A tiny piece of butteris an improvement,
if it is not forbidden.

Compromised.

The railway company has paid its
school taxes in every district in this
county but one, along the Snake
river. In order to induce them to do
so the County Commissioners knock
ed off the penalty, and accepted the
amount OF the tax, in full. This was
because the money was needed. But
from this time on if the railway taxes
are allowed to become delinquent the
penalty will be collected, as the coun-
ty will not be caught Sin the door, y
with funding operations under way,
as it was this year.

repeated applause from an enthusi-
astic audience. The play was one
that was well adapted to bring out
the strong points in acting of all the
leading characters, and if the en-
thnsiasm sof the audience can be
taken as thermometer to register
the success Of the play, then cert,
ainly last evenings entertainment
