100000 for Bulls FunernI-sncred
Crocodile and Snakes.
The Rev. Francis Tiffany in the Chris.
tian Register: 1t may seem strange
to speak of the Apis mausOleum as
a bull cemetery, but such in reality
it was. The bull was sacred to the
god Apis, and was to the initiated
priests symbol of power; to the ignor-
ant multitude divine incarnation in
horns, hide, and hoofs. HE dwelt,"
says Rawlinson, Gin a temple Of his
own near the city, had his train Of at
tendant priests, his harem OF cows,
his meals of the choicest food, his
grooms and curry-combers, his cham
berlains who made his bed, his cup
bearers who brought him water and on
fixed days was led in q festive process
sion through the main streets Of the
town, that the inhabitants might come
forth to make obeisance. When he
died he was carefully embalmed and
deposited, together with magnificent
jewels, statuettes and vases, in pol
ished granite sarcophagus cut out of
a single block and weighing between
sixty and seventy tons. The cost of
an Apis funeral amounted sometimes,
as we are told, to as much as 100000
sterling"
Now, while we Of to-day may smile
at all this, it would have been grim
earnest had any one disrespectfully
smiled in the old Memphian times at
his bovine majesty. Thirty centuries
later Roman soldier was torn in
pieces by a mob for accidentally killing
Il cat sacred to some other deity. In
deed, the most sanguinary fights were
always occurring between rival town
ships, the one of which deified the
crocodile, and the other Of which de-
spised the crocodile and exalted the
snake. Very curious was 1t, certainly,
to spread the great underground rass-
ages in which at wide int ,fIals had
been deposited twenty-fOur sarcophagi
containing the mummified bodies Of
these sacred animals. What magnifi-
cent monuments of stone work they
were-10 feet long, 8 feet high, broad
and a foot thick, each made out of a
single block of granite brought from
500 miles away, covered by devout in
scriptions, and all broken open by sac
religious thieves. But the whole out
side circuit of the Serapeum, dug out
so painfully by Marietta, with it's pro-
pylon, its crouching lions, its avenue
of sphynXes, is now, alas, sanded up
once more. What a dry-wit comment
airy on poor Keats epitaph: Here lies
one whose name was writ in water"

CHOOSING a CONFEDERATE
FLAG.

The Rebel CoIors First Unfurled by
n GRANDDAUGHTER of President Ty-
Ter.
The confederate government had or
ganiZed and its congress was in seI-
sion, but nothing had been done to-
ward the selection of national flag.
The question had agitated congress
and it's selection was the subject Of
several lengthy debates. The matter
was finally referred to 4 committee,
which passed on the many models sub
mitted, says the New York Advertiser,
and reported the following to the flag
of the confederate government: "A
red field with white spaces extending
horizontally through the center and
equal in width to one-third the width
of the flag. The red spaces above and
below are to be of the same width as
the white. the union blue extending
down through the white space and
stopping at the lower red space. In
the center of the union Il circle of white
stars corresponding in number to the
states of the confederacy." Several
days before the flag was to be raised
q committee from President Davis
called on Miss Letiiia Tyler, who was
visiting friends in Montgomery, con-
veying to her the request from Presi-
dent Davis that she raise the first con-
federate flag. In recent interview
Miss Tyler tells Of the incident as fol
lows:
Il was living at Bristol, Pa. before
the war, and ut the time Of the seceS-
sion was visiting DR.. Thomas b. Tay-
lor at Montgomery. Several days be-
fore the flag was to be raised l was
called upon by committee who told
me that President Davis had selected
me to unfurl it to t e breeze. / was
quite young, and the thought of the
act and of the crowd quite unnerved
me and / did not get completely over
it until after the whole ceremony was
over with. On the evening Of this,
possibly the greatest occasion in my
life, l went to the capitol, where the
flagstaff had been erected, and at a
given signal / pulled the rope which
raised the flag of the confcderacy aloft.
1t was large flag, and l remember
that some kindly gentleman near by
assisted me. AS it went up the crowds
gathered below shouted like mad and
the lannon's boom saluted the banner
of the young republic. l do not know
why Mr.. Davis should select me for
this place of honor, but presume it
was on account of his friendly rela-
tons with my grandfather, eX-Presi-
dent Tyler, and his intimacy with my
father. Another circumstance which
might have had some weight in the
presidents selection was the fact that
my grandfather was the chairman Of
the peace convention, then in session,
endeavoring to reconcile the differ
ences between the states"
Miss Tyler, who is still unmarried,
spends much of her time in New York
City, where she has many relatives.
1t is understood that she has claimed
Montgomery as her home since those
stormy days.

Mr.. Charles A. Dana, now in Paris,
has the honor OF setting the French
men right in relation to the real
causes OF the american strike"
which our Gallo neighbors have ex-
aggerated into u revolution, threaten
ing the very framework Of the repubc
lie. The romantic character" OF these
reports Mr.. Dana properly rebukes
in an interview in the Matin.
Readers OF the Sun, who are. pre-
sunably, Democrats, will recognize
in his explanation OF the causes of the
difficulty some not unfamiliar reason
ing, and in addition to it some con-
LESSONS not before made.
"Ihe Democratic party" says Mr.
Dana, "has u measure OF response
bility for certain events. for 1t is in
certain way responsible for the
commercial crisis from which we are
suffering" This, wo believe, is the
first semi-olficial acknowledgment
made by any Democrat Of high
standing that the present and past
business depression of the country
has been brought about through
Democratic agencies. Tie fact,
however, is not doubtful. and Mr..
Dana's esteemed contemporaries of
the Democratic faith need no longer
feel it incumbent on them to re-
iterate their dcnials of what he, as
their leader, so ENORMOUSLY pro-
claims. The .measure" OF the re-
sponsibility, they may add, is full to
overlooking.
Tho Democratic party" the
charge proceeds. "has belied all its
promises" That is truism
with which no Republican and
few honest Democrats will take
Issue, nor will any intelligent
person who wishes to be be-
lieyed, dissent from this conclusion;
1.-The result is a general unrest,
which is one Of the causes of the
present troubles"
A political party that habitually
keeps the country in state Of "gen-
eral unrest by 'belying all it's
promises" as Democracy is doing, is
an excellent party to keep out Of
power. Mr.. Dana's frank confession
of the responsibility of Democracy,
both by its betrayal OF trust and its
encouragement of the anarchical
spirit. for tho condition of business
and for the Chicago riots is the first
product Of Democracy that it need
not be ashamed ON. Y. Adver-

We Know Whore We Stand.

And now that this cruel war Is
over in this brutal form OF contest
OF lawless against lawful force and
is henceforth to be carried by Pop
ulism into politics, it is well to
recognize the important service it
has performed in leaving the posi-
tion of the parties to the conflict
clearly defined. On one side stands
the triple alliance OF Populism. A.
r. U.-ism and Anarchy, differing in
their immediate aims, but all united
in the Popdlist party by one common
bond, in the common purpose OF
subverting oy force the authority OF
law and all legal and constitutional
safeguards for the rights OF property.

Liskeman, shortly after his arrival
in New York. was stricken with
typhoid fever and died The widow
thereuDon went to relatives who
have a farm near Los Angeles, Cal.
Three months in the glorious climate
partially restored Mrs. Liskeman's
health and spirits. She then ac.
copied an invitation from friends at
San Francisco. While there she was
introduced to Captain John Ban
croft, master of ship that traded
between the Golden Gate and sgd

loved, proposed and was accepted,
and when his ship, the Water Witch,
next set sail southwark his bride
and little stepdaughter were on

At Sydney Capt, Bancroft received

Democrats Can Not Help But Sec What
Grover Is Made of.
Two years ago the Democrats
thought they saw in Grover Cleve-
land one of the greatest statesmen of
the age. They supported him en-
Enthusiastically for the presidency, and
when he was elected they believed
that political millennium had
dawned. But there has been great
change. and now he has hardly a
friend in his party. He has been
found out
A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press reports conversation
which he says he had short time
ago with prominent Eastern Dem
ocrat, in which the latter accounted
tor the fact that Mr.. Cleveland has
lost his influence with the members
OF the house OF representatives, OF
whom this Democrat Is one. The
congressman said: "But it was about
this change in Cleveland you asked
me. | don't think there has been
any change except in health. We
have simply discovered the real
Cleveland. We have learned that
no has magnificent capacity to say
what shall not or what ought not to
| be done, but that he has no ability
to suggest the things that should
be done. He is absolutely without
constructive force. He Is without
original resource. He can destroy.
but he can't build up. He can sug-
gest nothing but glittering gencr-
alities.
This is very good in the main, but
the wonder is that the Democrats
were so long in finding it out In
telligent Republicans saw long ago
that Cleveland was humbug, and
they declared so openly and without
hesitation The New York Sun was al
most the only Democratic paper that
recognized that he was u .'stuifea
prophet. To majority of Demo
Gratis and to all the mugwumps. he
was qualified to rank with Washing
ton, Jefferson and Lincoln. They
were unable to see that he was great
only in physical weight
Although tho Democrats arc dis
gusted with Cleveland. says tho
Donver Republican. they cannot
escape responsibility for his blunder-
ing administration any more than
the Populists in Colorado can escape
responsibility for Governor Waite
They will have to bear tho burdens
he has cast upon them. and in this
consists the only thing for which tho
country has reason to thank him.
He has ruined the Democratic party
and opened the way for return OF
the Republican party to power.
Mr.. Cleveland has been exposed SO
completely that there is now pros
pect that he will take his proper
place in history. At one time there
was danger that the next gem
GRAFTON would be led in reading his
tory to believe that in Cleveland tho
United States had one OF the worlds
great statesmen. H. would be
gross misrepresentation of the facts.
But that danger seems to be about
passed. Cleveland will grow small
or and smaller in public estimation
tho longer he lives.
