Death-Masks.
lHdrper's Magazine.


Although there is no mention of death-masks
in the works of Homer, or ia any of the later
classics, recent explorers have satisfied them
selves that in the early buriaIs of all Nations ID
was the custom TO cover the heads and bodies
of the dead with sheets of gold 80 pliabls that
they took the impress of the form; and not in
frequently, whom in the course of centuries the
embalmed flesh had shriveled or fallen away,
the gold retained the exact cast Of the features.
Sehliemann found q number of bodies Gov.
cred with large masks of gold plate in repousss-
work." several of which have been reproduced
by means of engraving in his Mycens, and he
asserts that there can be no doubt whatever that
each one of these represents the likeness of the
deceased person whose face it covered.
When Hamlet said that Alexander died
Alexander was buried, Alexander retnrneth to-
dust, he overlooked the fact that Aiexander's
dust, instead of being converted into loan to
stop beer barrel, was preserved from corrup-
ton by the process of embalming and from ex-
terna injury by being eased in the most pre-
cious of metals. Pettigrew, in his History Of
Egyptian Mrmmies, says of the death mask Of
Alexander that "it was a sort of chase work,
and of such q nature that il could be applied
so closely to the skin as to preserve not only
the form OF the body, but also TO give the ex-
preston of the features TO the cOuntenance."
He does not quote his authority for this state
ment but it is unquestionabIy derived from
der written by DiodOrus Siculus. who said:
"And first a coffin of beaten gold was pro-
vided, so wrought by the hammer as to answer
to the proportions of the body; it wss half
filed with aromatic spices, which served as
well to delight the sense as to prevent the body
from putrefaction." Then follows description
of the fnneral-chariot. and of the long line of
march from Babylon TO Alexandria, where Al
gustus Cesar saw the tomb 800 years later bus
there is no reference to q mask of Alexanders

Bear thy honored scars awayI
Flag OF FreedomI wave for aye
Der the buried blue and gray.
AS grand the music rolls away, up from the sleep

Are voices spreading everywhere: "Undying

The moments fly like arrows on. and time is speed
ing fast,
The end of the mighty column will soon be march,

To be mustered out forever. and bIvouac with the

Where the phantom army fingers beyond the silent

For unseen forces lead ye on another army comes;
They are thy olden comrades ye left so far away
Yes they are marching with ye now in measured
tread to-day;
hear their music in the air. as soft it comes 10
And as the light winds lift the vail their flags
seem to see.
March on thy noble work is Ger;
They bec<on who have gone before;
While dirges In the mufisd roar
Arise from "Old Potomac's" shore.
And thus the music rolls afar toward the sobbInz

As for their dead defenders droop the banners Of

What is the meaning in thy folds, o. banner of shs

The echoes of a hundred years arise and answer
me:
They teach me Of larger love for country hons,

OF sympathy and brotherhood, In one sublime

No strange device is pictured there of scepsr

No medieval legends boast Of tyrauts' red re-

The white, a symbol of the pure-s tslisman

THE SECOND GRAND REVIEW.

Where the waves of the Potomac catch the whis-
p'ring of the sea,
Within the Nations Capital, that city of the free,
With slow and grand procession. a mighty army
comes,
Amid the blare of bugles and the stirring roll of
of drums;
From New England's rugged hillsides, from the
land of orange trees,
And bears aoft thousand flags against the loyal
breeze.
Why has this army gathered here, from miles and
miles away,
When Peace is written on the air that stirs the
flag to-day?

Why are the hosts advancing? Are laures to be
won?
Why rings the cry from sea to sea of On to Wash

Send the message everywhere
Let the lofty hills awake
AS the echoes DER them break
A voice from the broad Potomac murm'ring on

Blends with the martial music, and seems to an
March on and on, o, army! thy deathIess music

In the stirring drums loud rattle and the bugIes

In fierce and awful brillisnce to glow forever there

STATE OF WASHINGTON.
The OIympian Peninsula an Excellent Land
for Settlers.

The Evergreen State is huge block of land.
It is as large as New England and Delaware,
as Pennsylvania and West Virginia. 1t con-
tains 50 99i square miles. 1t is 800 miles wide
between the Pacific Coast and the Idaho bor-
der, and to journey over it from British COlum-
bia southwark is to travel 245 miles. 1t is the
most popuous of the new States and It's in
habitants outnumber those of Oregon. In
1890 according to the last census, it contained
349, 800 souls, but it's people now assert that
they number 800 000 They have suffered some
losses in certain cities, or the increase would be
from 10 900 to 20 600 greater
The State shows to poor advantage for those
crossing it on the Northern Pacific Railroad,
because the route taken by that great and We'll
equipped line lies across an extensive desert OF
sage brush, and then crosses vast reach OF
usually brown bunch grass before 1T piuDges
into the mazes of the Cascade Mountains and
rushes out from them upon the perennislly
green Pacific Slope into the Puget Sound coun-
try. But the necessities of railway construc-
ton compel q disregard for such choice OF
territory as would be made by agricultur-
list or scenery hunting tourist, and, III this
case, even the land granted to the railway,
along it's route, is in great part very valuable,
though its richer parts are not always close De.

around Washington the State will yield all

tions from the outer world.
East of the Sound the land that can be

OF the heart Of it rise the eterna!ly snow-ciad

elk, the black bear cougar, and other more or
less noble beasts Over the earth Is mass oil
timber, aud at its feet a jungle. Fir, spruce
and white cedar are in the woods, and In the
many waters wild fowl abound. Frost Is said
not to know the country. On the Pacific Coast
side are many valleys and some small prairies.
In this absolutely new country the homestead
ers are appearing in such numbers that 1t Is
said that between 700 and 500 settlers went in
there last year to pre-empt the lands along

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Finding of a Body Believed to Be That
 of Missing Winsted Man.
 A badly decomposed body was found by hunter yesterday afternoon on the hills between Canaan and East Canaan about two miles from Canaan. Beside the body was a satchel containing two bottles of sherry wine and some clothes A bullet hole in the head showed the probable cause of death, but no weapon was four d. The body is supposed to be that of Eugene Mult ahy, a clerk at Hotel Andrews, who left Winsted four or five months ago and went on a spree. Mulcahy was last seen in Canaan about three months ago. No suspicion of murder is entertained at present, as the contents of the satchel were untouched. A Hotel Andrews check was in the clothing.
 Michael Holey, aged 70, of Windsor Locks, was struck by train yesterday afternoon and fatally injured. He had driven some COWS across the track and started to go back to the house when he was struck. His daughter saw the train, but as he was very deaf he could not hear the cars or her screams. His skull was fractured and his left leg, arm and jawbone were broken.
 The body of a man in an advanced
  terday afternoon half buried in the sand on the beach about a half mile beyond the south end, New Haven. An exami- nation of the body disclosed nothing that would lead to his identification ex- cept, perhaps, the fact that the word "peninsular" was pressed on the brass buttons of his trousers. The body was probably in the water for couple of weeks, and it is thought may have been washed ashore by Mondays storm. The age of the man may have been any l where between 30 and 45.
 Frederick Simpson, a brakeman on the Consolidated road, was brought to the hospital in New Haven this morn ing. He fell from a freight train al one of his legs being terribly mangled. The member was amputated just below the knee this morning and he will prob. ably recover.

 The address states that the party ar' convinced of the sine erity of the govern ment's professions as regards home rule not only because of the course pursued hitherto by the Liberal party, but alsc because it is manifestly the strongest pol icy of the government to effect settle meut satisfactory to Irishmen.
 Assuming that the bill would be satis- factory, the next question was how much energy would be applied to ress it. Th' Liberals, both before and sinee their ac cession to power, had confirmed through their leader that the undertaking of home rule should be their first task. The Par liamentary party did not forget th' declaration that the House of Lords would probably reject the bill, but bore in mind Mr. Gladstone's warning that they would do so at the peril of their chamber.
 The party felt sure that whateve the House of Lords might do, the day o full success was approaching.

His Intentions.
 LONDON, Sep. 30.-The attitude of Lord Mayor Knilf, who is a Roman Cath olio, toward the Church of England, was foretold by him at the Guildhall meeting in answer to questions put by iverymen. On official occasions, accompanied by re- ligious services, he will not attend serv, ices of the Church of England, as has been customary with his predecessors, but will send a proxy.
 He will not attach to himself, more over, Protestant clergyman as his chap lain.
 There was strong opposition against the selection of Alderman Knill as Lord Mayor on acco unt ot his religion.
 The liverymen of the London com panies, among whom there is 8 strong tinge of Orangeism, voted to recommend Alderman Phillips, 8 Protestant, for the office, but the Court of Aldermen re- jected the choice, and refused to depart from the regular order because the alder man whose turn it was to be Lord Mayor was Roman Catholic.
 A large crowd assembled outside the Guildhall during the election and shouted E'No Popery." "

 After He Was Relieved from Duty.
 BERLIN, Sep. 30.-Dr. Hulseman. ot Soest, one of the Hamburg volunteer doctors, has described in a provincial newspaper how he was treated after he had been relieved of his duties in the cholera hospital.
 In Kiel, he says, no hotel would take him and his companion in. When he returned to his home apartments admis- sion was refused him.
 He and his compani ion were exhausted by their labors and almost penniless, as they had given their money to the suffer ing in Hamburg.
 Both were SO depressed by the scenes they had witnessed in Hamburg that they hardly cared what became of them.
 Only after a quarantine of several days and repeated fumigation were they able to find food and shelter outside of the jurisdiction of the health authorities
 In the hospital in which Dr. Hulseman served half the patients died, he said, within few hours after they were first stricken.
