A FUNERAL IN EGYPT.
The Vowel Procession and the Shru
Voiced NYeepers-The Interment.

THE Vowel Procession and the shrin
voiced Weepers-The Interment-
A funeral In Egypt is, indeed, strange
sight. and the first one the visitor sees as
tonishes very much. At the head OF the
procession march a corporate body OF the
blind and o certain number OF men, VINO
proceed at a quick step, singing a most
iubilant air, while swinging themselves
from right to left. Behind them comes
the funeral car, or rather sort OF bier
bearing a great red shawl, in which tM
body is deposited. AT the extremity o.
the bier on a perch, Is placed the turbaD
or the tarbOUche Of the defunct. Two
men carry this bier. They follow WITH
such high spirits the movements OF the
head of the cOrtege that the corpse
rocked In every direction, seems TO Jump
under the shawl that shrouds 1t. Ih9
women bring up the rear, some on asses
some on foot
The first row Is formed OF weepers OF
rather screamers. who send forth toward
heaven ct each step the shrillest notes

but which they pull by the two ends be-
hind their head with gertlre that would

take place with much more eC-.nn-tv.

Egvpt before his friends and acquaintance

DAYS they eat and drink at the expense OK
the dead, or rather his heirs, indulgiug IN
the nOisiest demonstrations.
When the hour OF the iuterU7oDt ar
ives a scene Of the widest character Is
produced The slaves and women Of
the house throw themselves on thec9rpse
and fcign n determination to hinder 1t
from passing the threshold. This lugu-
5riOus tragedy Is played conscientlouly;
they snatch away the coffin; they Dclay
each other with blows, and the most vlo-
lent and frightful clamOr is heard. a
last the procession leaves the house and
retires to the cemetery, preceded by cam
els loaded with victuals, which are dis
tributed to the poor hurrying in crowds
along the road. All along the road the
mourners and friends of the family fight
for the honor of bearing the bier for an
instant, and thus it passes or rather
bounds from hand to hand amid the
most frightful disorder. Tho nterment
ended, every one returns to the house OF
the dead to recommence the festivities,
dancing and the mortuary demonstra-

discoveries of the Present Century.



Few goat discoveries were made in
the tirs' century of America. Nothing
much had been brought ont of our con
tinent before the time of Franklin but
furs. There were NO reliable gold mines
in the country under colonial rule.
Hard coal was not considered fit to
burn until some time in the present
century, and all the anthracite wealth
of Pennsylvania and the great bitum;2-
Gus coal fields have been developed in
comparatively recent times. Cotton
was of no account for a good while in
tbe history Of the country. Oil was
not found until our great civil war
was on top of us, and in the
very height of that war the oil
fever seemed to make the war itself
an Indifferent matter. AS long as
slavery stood up to be fought for nc
phosphates were found in tbs Carolinas,
and the greatest result following the "a
belllon has probably been the applies,
ton of scientific manures to our soils.
Silver in Colorado has all been found
within a very few years. The Comstock
lode, in Nevada, which for its period
produced more silver than any other
deposit known to man, was a develop
ment following the rebellion. Elec-
tricity, in which the Americans have
been so fortunate, being provided by i
with common illuminating lamps, took
a new start almost = hundred years
after the time franklin was playing
with it. Now they are finding natural
gas in the western states and about tina
foot. hills of the Allegheuies.
Alaska is the last region to tempt ex-
plorers, and, hard and cold as that
country is, it may become in American
hands The key to the north pole, and to
many other wonders. Since we ac-
Quired Alaska from the Russians the
fur seal robes have become known all
over the earth aud yet those fur seal
islands might have been the property Of
old John Jacob Astor in the first quarter
Of our century. when ne was attempting
10 anticipate the Pacific railroad by a
line of posts from the Missoac; river to
Puget sound.

a Derbyshire story.

a correspondent calls to mind that in
Derbyshire a story was told about fifty
years ago which has some resemblance to
the story of Tam O. Shantcr, as related
or adapted by Burns. Upon dark even
ing, as n Iuan was riding homeward. he
passed a large house which was all ablaze
with light. From within came a sound
OF music and DANCING. The hou Sc. he
Knew, was said to be haunted, and. being
curious to see what was going on. he
went In at the door. lie was invited bv
the jewellers, who appeared TO be ordinary
men and women, to supper. According
ly he sat dow at the supper table, but
before he began to cat he asked his host
to say grace. The guests said, "ITush"'
but the host did not say grace. Then the
stranger shut his eyes and said grace
himself devoutly. Wien he opened them
all was still, the inmates had gC,ne and he
was left i'll utter darkness. Notes ant

The CrOllin Inquest,

CHICAGO, June 11.--In the Cronin in
quest this morning John Garritz, Il sa-
loon keeper, testified that Detective
Coughlin tried to hire tough character
known as "Nlajor Sampson" to slug DR..
Cronin. lie wanted him sluyged with II
base ball bat and distigured for life. If
it killed, it would not have made much
difference.
j. d. Hagyertz, a railroad clerk, gave
his testimony, that after the trial of DR..
Cronin Alex. Sullivan told him that Cron-
in was Il scoundrel and a menace to
the Irish cause 1t was the impression
Of the witness that Sullivan said that
Cronin should be eXterminated. The
witness was of the opinion that at that
time Lacaron. who was Il friend of Alex.
Sullivan, was Il member Of the committee
which tried Cronin. lie was introduced
to the witness by Sullivan at the trial as
Il man worthy of confidence in the Irish
cause.
The police say that the men arrested
in New York arc not important witnesses.

The PENNSYLVANIA Horror.

JouNsrowS, Pa, June l1.-rhis is the
last day for clearing away the effects Of
the flood by the city authorities. To-
morrow the state takes hold Of the stu
pendous work. The horror of the stua-
tion is not diminished, but rather grows
as the search for the dead continues and
in all sections and directions the dead are
being found. When this will end no llll-
man mind can guess.
Many workmen are leaving because
they will not work for $50 Il day, which
is all the state proposes to pay. 1t is be
lieved there will he temporary stopping
of the work on this account.

I3arnlIln'S Successor.

New YORK, June 11.--IAe democratic
national committee will meet this after
noon to elect successor to the late w.
II. Barnum of Conn. So many of the
members Of the committee have protested
that they will not accept the place that
the eligible candidates are not numerous.
German does not want it and Bricc Will
not have it. As to whom the committee
will elect there is nothing yet but the
widest speculation. The contest will
really be between a Barnum tariff man
and a Cleveland revenue reformant.

Wool Market Improving.

BOSTON, June 11.-During the week
the market for wool has gained addition
al strength. While prices current can
hardly be quoted higher, it is patent to
even the casual observer that concessions
are almost out of the question, and that
the trend Of the market is slowly in the
direction which favors the seller.
California wool has been in a very fair
demands; 14@1Sc has been the range for
southern woods and 1SM22c for middle
country, or the former at clean cost of
'5c and the latter at 55@57c. From San
Francisco, on Tuesday, was received de-
Spatch to the effect that cent advance
had occurred.
We note some sales of fine, new south
ern Utah this week at 17@2Oc, and one
nice lot of mostly a fine medium, at 23c.
The clean cost of fine Utah is 6O@62.
and fine medium 56M5Sc. A very
choice lot of light wool is held at 27c, but
the holder could doubtless be induced to
shade this figure to effect a sale.
Current prices in the seaboard markets
are as follows:

NEW YORK, June 11.--Judging from

too high; but there is an opportunity for
improvement in the goods market An
Improvement is considered necessary, and

cate that it has begun

the same on !: secured basis.
PHILADELPHIA, June 11.-Some few
houses report better sales and more in
quiries, as the week began to wane, but
taking the market AS a whole we note no
marked changes over last week as far as
the sales and call for wool is concerned.
