Why was it that the Confederate
Veterans did not attend the funeral
of the late P. w. Carroll on Monday
last? We have seen this gentleman
walk from his home, a distance OF
seven miles, to attend a meeting of the
Vets. Nothing was more dearer to
him than the recollections of the "lost
cause"

Wonders of Minute Animal Life.

The following. which might very ap-

der Of Wonders, is from tho pen of Sir
Robert S. Ball, +. R. s., astronomer
royal of Ireland: 1.-The microscope
teaches us that there are animals so won
derfully minute that if thousand of
them were ranked abreast they could
easily swim, without being thrown out
of order, through the eye of the finest
cambric needle ever made. Yet each of
the minute creatures is a highly organ
lied number Of particles, capable of NOV
ing about, of finding and devouring food
and of behaving in all respects as be-
comes an animal as distinguished from
afragment Of unorganized matter The
human mind is utterly incapable of real
izing the structure of these little crea-
lures and of fully appreciating their
marvellous adaptation to the life they are
destined to lead.

THE TsAiPLE OF hATHoR.
One Of Tie Ancient Buildings u Egypt and
Very Well Preserved.

One Of The ancient Buildings II Egypt and
Very Well Preserved.
We Geamed two hours one morning
ON tho Nile and after an early breakfast
rode ON donkeys about three miles to
the famous temple of Hathor, the Egyp-
tian Aphrodite, at Denderah. This tenn
pie was built Just before the Christian
era by one of the Ptolemies, and the porch
was added by Tiberius. Though built
by Greek and Roman emperors, it is
essentially Egyptian in architecture and
decoration, and as it was the first of
the great temples that we had seen we
were very much impressed. It stands on
the borders of the desert and the YER
dant plain. surrounded by the ruins of
an old town, the debris Of which, to-
gether with the blowing sands, rise sew
eral feet above its foundations. The
temple is very well preserved Its porch,
the latest part, is noble hall, support
ed by "a columns about feet in diam
eter and 40 feet high, the capitals pre-
senting colossal faces of Hathor ON four
sides. Every foot of the surface, outside
and in, is covered with sculpture, which,
though of the period of decadence, is
still striking because of the amount of
it.
The main temple behind the porch
consists Of four central chambers and
some go others, each of which had its
use. The faces on nearly all the figures
have been rlutilated by iconOclastic Mo-
hammedans or Christians. On the ex-
terror of the wall in the rear, among
other figures are Cleopatra and her son
Casarion, whose father was Julius
Caesar. This representation of the ia
nous Egyptian queen, though contempo-
raneous, scarcely justifies the tradition
of her beauty. Near by is a small tenn
pie of Isis, and another which seems to
have had some connection with the tenn
pie of Hathor. The town of Tentyris
stood here. The Tentyrites hated the
crocodiles which the people Of neighbor-
ing OmbOs worshiped, and a religious
war of great fury was carried ON be-
tween the two places. If there must be
religious wars, they may as we'll he over
crocodiles as over dogmas which nobody
knows the truth of. The ruins Of Ten
tyris are mainly of brick, baked and
unbaked. The temples are of lime
stone. Some of the stones forming the
roof are "a feet long and 6 feet wide.
The whole construction is massive. In
side are traces of color which must have
greatly added to the beauty. At Den
derah we are not far from the Libyan
hills, but our course takes us away from
them toward the Arabian side as VIC
came to Luxor. Herald.
