LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING. 8. 1885,
MRS. w. S, BARTLETT
Spoke Yesterday Before the EbeII Society on
Egypt


Egypt
One of the most delightful afternoons
ever given by the Ebell society occurred
yesterday afternoon at the club rooms on
South Main street. Mrs. W. 8. Bartlett
spoke before the ladies on Art of Ancient
Egypt. The speaker took a five months
trip up the Nile several years ago, and
gave to the club yesterday graphic de-
scription of pyramids, sculpture and paint
ings which she saw in the tombs. Her re.
marks were in brief as follows:
Egyptian art is Egyptian history turned
to stone. 1t bears witness not only to
wars and victories, prayers and industries,
but to the melody of poets songs and to
the gentle graces of domestic life. 1t
teaches us all we know of a people who led
the worlds civilization fifty centuries
ago, and whose achievements were
30 great as to remain wonder
to this latest generation, and this
art and the land which gave it
birth must therefore be of interest to us
all. Nowhere are the peculiarities of a ma
ton or of an age more plainly set forth
than in the monuments they leave behind
them, for architecture above all else en-
bodies the character and religion of q peo-
pie. The remains of ancient Egypt are a
striking illustration of this. We seek there
in vain for any trace Of shops or dwelling
houses or cities-tbsse have died with the
need which brought them forth; but the
whole sinuous length of the Nile 10 gemmed
with temples whose pylons are as massive
as the everlasting hills; whose inner courts
grow narrower and narrower, shutting out
more and more the sunlight and birds and
stands before the unadorned mono!ithic
chamber of the god himself, whore in
silence and gloom the creature of time may
be alone with the arbiter Of eternity.

q measure the quefulOuS note of the Ber-
lin government in regard to the bush
whacking operations of Cecil Rhodes and
his ministers in South Africa.
Emperor Williams declaration to DIR.
w. j. Leyds, Secretary of State for the
TranSvaal, that he would not recognize
any claim of su2erainty over the Boer
republic, coming as it does 50 soon after
lating him on the defeat of the English
invaders under the lead of DIR. Jameson,
is particularly offensive to British pride.
Great Britain boldly annexed the Trans
vaal to Cape Colony in LS77, ut a time
when the republic was in difficulty with
the native Africans. Although the an.
~neXation was said to be in response to Il
request from residents in the Transvaal,
the Beers soon rebelled against British
rule. By the treaty of 1884 the independ-
ence of the South African republic was
recognized in all matters relating to in
ternal affairs. But Great Britain retain
ed a suZorainty over the country, and it
was through her ministers that all for
eign negotiations Of the republic were to
be conducted.
In the eyes of the British, therefore, En-
pcror William is ovcrstepfng the bounds
of courtesy in presuming to communicate
with the Government of tho Transvaal at
all. except through the ministers of her
majesty's government. Williams declara-
ton that he will recognize no suzerainty
over the Tlansvaal, which the British
claim by virtue of treaty, is an added
insult that cannot be PASSED over without
q serious humiliation to the pride Of Great
Britain.
The situation is complicated, too, by the
unsettled condition of affairs in South AZ
RIGA, from whence trustworthy informa-
ton is exceedingly meager. Cecil Rhodes
has resigned the premiership OF Cape Col
ony. but the reason for the action is not
yet apparent. Once before, when there
was an intimation of Interference from
the home government with the action Of
the chartered company in conducting a
war of aggression against the Matabeles.
