MUMMY OF A PHARAOH.

A Great Discovery in Egypt In 1881
Rameses III.
The greatest discovery of mumm1eS
ever made in Egypt was in the year
1881, when the remains of SO royal
personages were brought to light at
Dier-el-Bahari, Thebes- One of these
was proved to be the mummy of King
Rameses IL, the third king of the
ninth dynasty and the Pharaoh of the
Jewish captivity. This mummy was
in perfect state of preservation. The
mummy case itself was of sycamore
wood, plain and unvarnished, and
without a spot or stripe of paint, some
thing reckoned as unusual. The case
was, however, carved to represent
Rameses in the position of Osiris. The
crossed arms rested upon the breast
In the right hand was the royal whip
and in the left the royal book.
The features We're most delicate1y
carved in the soft wood, and the
whole was surmounted with the
crown of upper and lower Egypt and
surrounded by carved representation
of the uraeus serpent. The name OF
Rameses was written in plain black
characters upon the case. which bore
no other text or representation what
ever, strongly contrasting with the ex-
aggerated dedications noted on almost
all the other cases found in the same
pit. The mummy itself was carefully
wrapped in rose colored and yellow
linen of n texture finer than the very
finest India muslin. In different folds
of this linen several dried lotus flowers.
and leaves were found. In the folds Of
| one of the bands which passed across
| the graveclothes to keep them in shape
| was a folded papyrus bearing inscrip-
| tions which informed the reader that
| this, the mummy of Rameses IL, was
| concealed in the pit, where it was.
| found at a time when a foreign army
| invaded Egypt. This quaint bit of in

ten 1000 or 2, 500 years ago, is as plain,

tie continued with great vigor through
out Saturday night and Sunday, when,
altogether, 1000 were engaged. Con-
sidering the rapidity of the firing the
number killed is comparatively small,
probably under 200. Altogether, the
behavior of the Turkish troops was
better than that of the Greeks. Their
officers remained cool and collected.
The firing still co ntinues, but it is ex-
pected to cease at nightfall, as the
troops have been engaged for so hours
without food or sleep.
As Viewed in Washington.
WASHINGTON. April 19.-War between
Greece and Turkey means, in the end,
a general war in Europe. This is the
opinion of members of the diplomatic
corps, and also of officials of our own
government. Although chary of pub
lie expressions of these opinions, for
diplomatic reasons, a consensus of the
views on the crisis in Europe held
among well informed men in this city
is that the breaking out of the long ex-
pected war between the great powers
cannot be long delayed.
Secretary Sherman reiterated last
night the statement he made to the
Associated press representative that,
while the government regretted the
existence of war, Turkey and Greece
were so far from us that it was mat
ter which concerned the United States
but little. The strictest neutrality, he
declared, must be preserved. The sec
rotary had no fear but that the citizens
of the United States would be amply
protected. Very few of them are in
the cities of Constantinople and
/ Athens.

Remarkable Cure.
H. NJ. H. YATES.

During the month of August, 1896, Mr..
Henry A. Adams, of the second district,
while moving a small locust block, acct
dentally had the thumb of his left hand
pierced by locust splinter not more
than half an inch in length.
This apparently trivial casualty first
manifested the serious phases which it
has assumed by swelling, until, to re-
lieve the sufferer from the pain, which
proved too intense for his constitution,
lancing the thumb was deemed prudent
to alleviate the pain. About ten days
after the accident the attending physic-
ian pronounced blood-poisoning the re-
suit.
Every one heartily commends DIR. T.
Hooper Lynch, the attending physician,
for the remarkable skill which he has
employed in treating the malady, which,
for time, almost deprived the sufferer
of the use of his left hand and arms.
After being confined to his bed for two
months, constantly attended by DR.
Lynch, the friends of Mr.. Adams are
pleased to see him out and know that
he is constantly improving; we trust, in
the near future, that he will sufficiently
recuperate to attend to his agricultural
interests, in which he has always mani
tested an untiring energy, and labored
assidiously to make a success.
