 A private letter from Washington received at thIs office says that friends of the territorial admission bills feel much elated over the action of the democratic senatorial caucus deciding to place these bills on the preferred calendar. There has been some fear lest the fact that Arizona and New Mexico had elected republican dele gates to congress at the last election would induce the democratic senate to decide against taking the bills up al the present session. Senator Faulkner, chairman of the territorial committee, met the arguments of those who would have sidetracked the bills for political reasons, with the assertion that the result of the recent election could not be accepted as being in any sense criterion of the permanent political preferences of the people of these territories. The general impress sion is that both bills will go through this month. -Prospcctor.

An Egyptian Curiosity.

In July, 1881, there were discovered in the ancient city of Thebes, the num- mics of Egypt's mightiest Pharoahs, among them that of Ramesis the Great. There were also found coins, seals, statuettes, preserved food, and a few rolls of papyrus, some of the latter being of great value, curiously bound together, and, notwithstanding the mould and mildew of ages upon them, as easily read as if written yesterday. A queer little book entitled, "A Night with Ramesis H." has been exe- cuted so cleverly, that the oxydized seal, suggestion of mould, antique CO., bring, and partially decayed and rag ged-edged papyrus carry at once to the mind the possession of veritable relic from the dawn of civilization.
