AN EGYPTIAN FIND.
Hundreds of Mummies Dating Back Nearly
5000 Years Discovered In . Pit.

Hundreds of Mummies Dating Back Nearly
5000 Years Discovered In Pit.
| From the London Academy.
On February = discovery was made in
| the metropolis Of Thebes second only in i'm
portance to the discovery of tho royal num-
| mics at Dehr-el-Bahari by NJ. Maspero in
| 1881. About half mile from Dehr-el-Ba-
hari pit has been found containing several
hundred magnificent mummies. These, like
the royal mummies, had evidently been re-
moved from the tombs and concealed in this
| receptacle, rs q precaution, by the servants Of
the priests, probably at the same time and for
the same reasons which caused the royal num-
mics to be placed in the receptacle where they
were found by NJ. Maspero. This removal Is
believed by NJ. Maspero to have taken place in
the reign Of Aauputh. son of Shasang, of the
Twenty-second Dynasty (cirea $3.50 B. g.
The collins hitherto found all belong to the
twenty-frst dynasty, and are those Of the
priests of Ra-Amun and their families. The
pit is about forty-fvs feet in depth, at the
bottom OF which are two corridors filled with
cotfins and treasures of every description. In
the lower corridor-which as yet has only been
explored is computed that there are somc
two hundred collins, and the second corridor is
believed to be not less extensive.
The shaft ia forty-five feet deep, its mouth is
about twelve feet in diameter and its sides are
OF rough limestone. One OF VI. Grebaut 8 ma
tive assistants. who was experimenting the
work Of hauling up the mummy cases. told me
that he had been the first actually to enter the
corridor where the mrfmmies and treasures lie.
] he shaft had then been excavated only as deep
as the mouth OF the corridor. and he crept in on
his hands and knees and stood in what he de-
soribes as being like palace Of enchantment.
The corridor. he said, is some ten or twelve
feet high and $50 feet long. 1t runs in north
erly direction from the shaft toward the Theban
hill. At the end there is short corridor branch
ing from it ct right angles, and at some height
above the floor at the end is the entrance to a
second very long corridor, full of treasures,
which has been sealed up for the present by NJ.
Grebaut.
Groups Of mummies are placed at intervals
in families. The number in each group varies
from two to six or seven-father, mother and
children-and around them, exquisitely ar
ranged, are vases, models of houses, models of
dahabiehs, cases and boxes full of ushabits,
statuettes and every conceivable treasure of
ancient Egypt, Without even a speck of dust
upon them, this profusion of treasures had re-
manned unlocked at by any eye for nearly 5000
years. He said that photographs had been
taken OF the place in its undisturbed state,
which he declared to be that of perfectly kept
and well arranged museum.

His request was granted. He told them
that he had concluded to die. but he wanted to
die like Christian gentleman and not like On

leader Of the posse called back to him that he
thought he would require some instructions on
that question. The fellow in the hole said he
guessed not. He was then told to make himself
ready. He pulled of one boot and then the
other. Then he threw them outside his hiding
place and said:

dropped back. Twenty bullets went into his
