Egyptian Antiquities.

The tomb Of Egypt's first King,
Mena, who reigned some 5000 years
B. G., is supposed TO have been found
by NJ. Jacques de Morgan, the direct
or-general Of antiquities for the Egyp-
tian government, in the Nile Valley,
between Thebes and Abydos. The
tomb had never, il seems, been entered
before. II had over score Of rooms
and in each room was a sarcophagus
containing the mummy Of some royal
parsonage, with statues, vases, imple-
ments and inscriptions in great num-
Der. In the central room was sar-
cophagus, with surroundings on an ex-
ceptionsl scale Of grandeur, supposed
10 be that Of Media himself, or Of some
other King Of a very remote period.
The period is indicated by the e1-
tremely archaic character Of the in-
scriptions and Of the articles found in
the various rooms. In several partic-
ulars the tomb itself differs in it, mode
Of construction from those Of later
date. Among the proofs Of its early
character is the finding Of numerous
flint implements, which indicate an
undeveloped state Of the art Of work
ing in flint. A wooden statue, how
ever, and various alabsster vessels
found with it suggest knowledge Of
copper or iron tools. Il is difficult to
conceive that tomb with granite floor
and sides, sarcophsgi, vases. inscrip-
tioDs, &C., could have beea construct
ed by a people not advanced beyond
the use Of stone implements. The
stone knives are TO be accounted for
perhaps. by the fact that, having been
first used in religious ceremonies, they
were accounted more sacred than me-
tallie implements. and were on this
account employed in funeral rites.
Another "fnd," by Mr. Flinders
Petrie, Of some four thousands Of pa
pyri in the sands Of Western Egypt
attracts new attention to the posibili-
ties of that region. The documents.
which range from the first to the sixth
century, seem to be a library which
some barbarian threw away as useless.

Foul Assassination. A

Morgantown Herald: We are IN
debted to a Morgantown attorney for
the maiden speech Of a young lawyer
before a court in Eastern Tennessee.
The defendant in the case stood IN
dicted for cruelty to animals. The
prosecutor was Jack Edwards and the
defendant Leander Simmons, who lived
at Flag Ponds, near the line OF Madl-
son county, Edwards sow got out
and strayed into Simmons cornfeld
and he set dogs on and killed her.
Here is the prosecuting Attorney
speech
Gentlemen Of the jury, and may 1t
please your honor: Since the days OF
the assassination Of the lamented Pres
ident of the United States, towit
Abraham Lincoln, no such foul crime
has stained our country's escutcheon
as the assassination Of Jack Edwards
old black and white spotted SOW
Gentlemen of the jury and may 1t
please your honor: Think Of the cir
cumstances On that lovely morning
in May, when the earth was dressed in
her robes of green; when the air was
filled with the odor Of sweet-scented
flowers and enlivened with the voices
of merry songstersi as that old SOW
walked forth in her innocence down
that little stream, listening TO the muir
muring of the waters, little did she
dream that before the king Of day hid
himself behind the western horizon,
she should become the victim Of foul
assassination.
Here, it is said. the Judge and jury
fell over in conyulsions and the speech
came to an untimely end.

after it had been capsized and had
been swept away, but the girls still
hoped that the boat might have be-
come entangled in the flooded forest
and that their father and mother might
vet be saved. But the Judge insisted
upon Florence and Jennie getting into
his boat. The stout boat was then
driven forward in the direction pointed
out by the girls as that in which they
had last seen their parents. AT IN
tervals the young men united in shout
ing and waving their torch, but the
bowling of the wind for time drowned
their voices.
During a slight lull faint cry was
heard, which was answered by the
united shouts of all in the Judges
boat. Soon they were enabled 10 dis
tinguish from whence the cry pro-
ceeded, and few strokes of the oars
brought them to clump of submerged
forest trees, and there, clinging to the
branches, they found Mr.. Gordon and
his brave wife. Their rescue was but
tho work of moment. and soon they
were safely seated in their enemy
boat.
"Mr. Gordon" said Judge Riel,
"your hands are all safe at our place,
and we have been searching all day
for you. Our plantation is still above
water, there is fire on the hearth and
a welcome awaiting you
Thus was the last vestige of animos-
ity between the two men swept away.
At Judge Riel's the fire and the
welcome were found, and Mr.. Gordon S
family were welcomed as if there had
never been aught but the warmest
friendship between him and the Judge.
The old men soon learned that 1t
was misunderstanding that parted
them in youth, and that during all
these silent years each had retained
the greatest respect for the other
The floods have shrunk into their

ing. But Florence Gordon is a per-
manent resident at Judge Riels, she
having recently married Leon, and
the gossips say that Paul Riel will
take up his home in the fall with Mr..
Gordon as the husband Of Jennie.
The old men are never happy apart,
and Mr. Gordon often whispers to his
wife
"Yes, my dear, we lost great deal
by the food, but | sometimes think 1t
was a blessing in disguise"
And Mrs. Gordon agrees with him.

New Sayings Of Christ.

Among the discoveries made at
Behnesch by Messrs. Grenfell and
Hunt of the Egyptian Exploration
Fund is a small page, 81 inches by
81 inches, containing eight sayings Of
Christ. The logia consist of detached
quotations, each beginning Jesus
saith.
The first saying is "And then thou
shalt see clearly to cast out the mo'e
that is in thy brothers eye"
The second saying is startling and
entirely new. 1t reads: Jesus saith
except ye fast TO the world ye shall in
no wise find the kingdom of God; AMI
except We keep the Sabbath ye shall
not see the father
This being at variance with the ac-
cepted teachings of Christ, it is sng.
gested that it is perhaps Jewish for
gerry committed with view to. sup.
porting the Jewish Sabbath. Perhaps
it is an erroneous report.
The third saying is similar TO that
contained in John |, but the form IA
different. Christ describes Himself ~
standing in the midst of the world
finding all men drunken and none
athirst. "And my soul grieveth over
the sons of men because they are blinl
in their heart.
The fourth saying has perished, ONLY
one word remaining. This is the Greek
word for beggary. AS this was MT
used by Christ in any gospel, the logiI
Is considered to have been new.
The fifth saying, which contains cer-
tain gaps, is of extraordinary interest.
1t reads: Jesus saith, wherever there
are here occurs a ppl and there is
one [gapl alone am with him. Raise
the stone and there thou shalt find Ne;
cleve the wood and there | am. "
The latter part is entirely new, AMI
it is expected that it will arouse con-
troversy. 1t seems to indicate a pan.
theistic philosophy, and, perhaps, Is y
reflection of the mystical occultism of
the gnoetics in the early Christian
centuries.
The sixth saying comedies in part
with Luke, iv, "a NO prophet is
accepted in his own country; neither
doth a physician work cures upon
them that know him.
This is considered to prove that
Luke had the same original records as
the logia, because the Greek for ac-
cepted, here dekto', was used by Luke
only and was hitherto supposed to be
one Of his mere literary changes on
Matthews collection.
The seventh saying is similar to
Matthew v, II, but is incomplete.
The eighth saying is undeciphemblc.
II is suggested that the date of the
document must be from the year $50
to the year 800 A. D, probably not
later than 200 a. y.
The Greek Of the logia, which has
been seen by the correspondent Of The
Sun, is 30 clear that a dispute as re-
CARDS words is impossible. A contro-
versy can only arise ir regard to tho
Interpretation Of the new passages.

THE WAYS.

Do you traverse a way.
That is likely to end
AT Something some day,
My friend?
Or, do you belong
To the great plodding throng
On the broad, level way
That leads to Nowhere
That will end, some day,
In Nothing, out there?
There are paths leading out
From this broad, level way
You have seen them, no doubt,
For you pass them each day
That lead to Somewhere,
That glorious place,
So distant, so fair
Like a mirage in space.
But these pathways, you say,
Are so stony and steep.
And the broad, level way
Is so easy to keep!
You have heard of Somewhere,
And you'd like to go there
If way could be found
That was easy and wound
In a smooth, broad course that led on
around
And up the height,
Where the city stands, Il glorious sight,
Peopled by only immortals, and where
There is honor for each that, at last, gets
there,
All. there is no way that is level and
broad
Leading up to this glorious place,
Somewhere,
And no man yet who has only trod
A way that is easy and smooth and broad
Has ever succeeded in reaching there.

It's the same story. The experience
Of all sufferers with blood diseases is
identical. First the doctors are con-
suited, and their prescription of potash
and mercury is taken faithfully, but
without result. Months pass, and the
Inercurial dose is continued, until
finally, his condition being no better,
or often worse, the patient becomes
discouraged and decides to change
treatment.
Patent medicines are then taken,
but until the right one is found the
results are the same. S. 8. S. Is the
only blood remedy on the market
which is guaranteed purely vegetable.
It Is the only one that contains no
mercury, no potash, or other mineral, ,
and therefore is the only one that
