An Egyptian Curiosity.

In Iulv, 1881. there were discovered IN
the ancient city of Thebas, the mum
mics OF Egypt's mightiest Pharaohs,
among them that OF Rameses the Great.
There were also found seals, coins, stat
uettes, preserved food, and a few rolls OF
papyrus, some OF the latter being OF
great value. curiously bound together,
and, notwi thstanding the mould and
mildew of ages upon them, as easily read
as if written yesterday. A queer little
book entitled, A night with Rameses
H." has been executed SO cleverly, that
the oxvdizcd seal, suggestion of mould
antique coloring, and partially decayed
papvrus carry at once to the mind the
possession of veritable relic from the
