Col. Thomas A. Roberts died in this city
yesterday morning from paralysis. Few

Col Roberts was born in Portland July IL,

ing in his chosen pursuit until his death.
Col Roberts was always interested in the
militia, and was captain of the Mechanic
Blues from 1852 to 1861. In 1861 he was COM

prominent member of the old Park Street

Egypt's Lost Arts.

A vigorous and didactic address was that
delivered by DR.. Charles II. Crandall before
the NJ. c. NJ. Association last evening upon
the Lost Arts of Egypt.
DR.. Crandall commenced with a brief out
line Of the situation and surroundings Of the
land Of the Nile and particularly of its two
divisions Of upper and lower Egypt. Low
er Egypt" he said, had seven millions Of
people who lived and 1ourished 30 centuries
before Christ and made one of the greatest
nations of antiquity. They were a people
possessing great activity and skill and they
began at a very early date to grapple with
the greatest industries of the world. Their
wonderful and numerous inventions give
every evidence of vast breadth Of mind and
an intense spirit Of enterprise. We some
times think that the wisdom and sagacity
of these ancient people showed itself only
in masonry and architecture, but we find
that there is scarcely department of knowl-
edge that had not been vigorously and sue
cessfully explored by them"
Dr. Crandall called attention to the tools
they used, stating that the evidence showed
that theymust have been of superior strength,
superior even to what we have today. Then,
too, their ability TO move heavy masses Of
stone and place them in difficult positions
with such nicely is especially worthy of no
tice.
The methods Of embalming and the adj
vancement made In medicine and anat0-
my, with their correct ideas of the location
and functions Of the important organs of the
body including the circulation of the blood
were spoken of.
In speaking of the pyramids DR.. Crandall
said "The largest one 760 feet square at
its base and 4S0 feet high, higher than St..
Paups at Rome. covers 1871 acres. This
mass of stone has endured fof ages and will
endure for ages to come, and long after, our
capitol and the republic it symbolizes have
passed away, this pyramid win remain"
The speaker closed in remarking upon the
religious condition Of the people, that they
had striven to find the trne God and whether
they did or not they should certainly receive
the credit of being the founders of civiliza-
ton.

HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of approach adopt
ed by AN enemy we are the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment When
surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances
the inherent strength of the body sufices to ena-
BILE it to oppos the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other cases. a
little aid to the weakened Lungs win make all
the difference between sudden death and many
years of useful life Upon the first symptoms of
a Cough, Cold, or any trouble OF the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well known remedy
Boschee's German Syrup, a careful trial. 1t will
prove, what thousands say Of it, to be the "bene-
factor of any home" noy1-dlycT

Kennebec S. s. Company.

A company was organized last fall under
the laws of the State, entitled the Portland
& Kennebec Steamship Company, capital
stock $4,000. That such line would be
great benefit to Portland, no .one can doubt
for moment. Hon. p. o. Vickery, presi-
dent of the company, is in town soliciting
subscriptions to the stock, and it is to be
hoped that our business men will respond
promptly and secure success to the enter
prise. With first class daily steamboat
line there is no reason why Portland cannot
secure the Kennebec trade, in preference to
Boston or New York. 1t Is Portand's oppor-
tunity, and should be promptly met by her
business men,
