The Tomb of Osiris.

MISUNDERSTANDING are excited over
the author ticated discovery of the
tomb of Osiris, the chief god of the
Egyptian and brother (Consort) of Isis
If Luxor, a village of Upper Egypt,
built on the state of Thebes. The
news was first received with incredul-
lty but all doubts we're quieted by a
telegram from the director general of
excavation to the president of the
Egyptian council of minister's. The
discovery was made by NJ. Amelineau,
who, in letter also affirms positively
that he has discovered that the tom b
of the gods of Seth and Horus is in the
same metropolis at Abydos.
The all Mall GazetLe says: There
IS no doubt this is q great discovery.
Thus we know the tombs of the last
three eOd-kings of the second of the
divine dynasties, which dates back TO-
900 years.

IT is about four years since the silver
pe" pie trotted out those awe-iuspiring
and delusive tables claiming to show
that the price of wheat keeps pace
with the price of silver. Wheat was
then worth 544 cents a bushel in New
York markets and silver was worth 90
cents an ounce. Silver is now worth
559 cent? an ounce and wheat last
week was 1.Os4. Thus tue four years.
practical test of these tables has given
results precisely the reverse of the
showing made by them, since silver
has fallen fifteen per cent. meantime,
while wheat has nearly doubled.

GRoUND-HOG day, 1898, was evident
ly a favorable one for the revenue sys-
tenn Of the country, and the winter of
our revenue discomfort appears to be q
thing of the past. February receipts
averaged more than a million dollars a
day and were the largest in any Feb
ruary since the inauguration of Pres
ident Cleveland. For the first time
since the election of Cleveland AID his
free-trade congre g, there was a Feb
ruary surplus. The receipts for the
month were SIS, 572, 53S, and the surplus
1,S45, 35S. The indications are that
the receipts for the present month will
be considerably larger than those of
February and that the days of treasury
deficits are at an end.

Croker and Hill.

The coming fight between Croker
and Hill for control OF the state or
ganization is deve Oping rapidly, and
the former senator seems to have all
the better of the early moves. The
division has already been recogniz I'd
among the democratic members of
the state legislature. Those from
the city are taking orders from Crok-
err and those from all other sections
of the state look 10 Hill for counsel
II in apparent that Croker has failed
to break down the Kings county Or
gauization, at d that he can not get q
solid delegation to the state conven-
ton from the G eater New York.
Without all of the 189 delegates from
the city his chances of controlling the
convention are very slender.
Hill, through Elliot Donforth chair
man of the state committee, has al
ready announced the party policy for
the state campaign in the fall.
The state convention will ignore the
Chicago platform, and the state contest
is to be fOu hit on state issues alone.
DanfOrth has been through the south
ern states, and confesses that he found
the party in that section committed to
Bryan and free silver for 1900, but this
does not discourage Hill or cause the
slightest change In his plan. He is
ny
state ignore the Chicago plai form for
the second time. Croker will have to
join the silver forces or fail in line be-
hind Hill, thereby admitting the lead
ership of the latter. If aCroker turns
to free silver he will lose the backing
of the rich sound money democrats in
this city, and Tammsny will have no
funds for the fall campaign.
In playing state politics it seems that
Hill is really the master and Croker
the man.
REPUBLICAN GUNS.
In the meantime, the town and coun-
ty elections up the state held this
week continue to show republican
gains. In some of the towns q small
faction of republicans joined forces
with the democrats against the regular
party organization. In almost every
case the combination was beaten by
the regulars Wherever the silver
question entered into these local cleo
tions to any extent, 1t was demonstrate
ed that Organism is losing strength.
In most cases where it has been pos
sible to make comparisons the demo-
cratic silver vote was smaller in pro.
portion to the toal votes cast than it
ives in the great contest of 1896, or in
the state election last yeir.-New

THE fast that the navy of the United
States would be divided, in case of war,
into two squadrons some eight or ten
thousand miles apart, the one in the
Pacific and the other in the Atlantic,
ought to give the Nicaraguan canal
scheme q decidedly practical boost.
Our naval forces are none too. strong at
best, and when they can be concentrat-
ed rapidly against an enemy, but when
divided as suggested they would be
most seriously crippled.

She Liked Sailing.

The following true tale is most curious
instance of living well on nothing a year
without breaking the laws of the land
About 20 years ago steam packet com
pany of Liverpool wished to buy piece of
land which was owned by stay at home
spinster, as her neighhors described her.
She sold her land at n very low price, but
insisted upon clause being inserted in
the agreement giving her the right at any
time during her life to travel with a COLL
panion in any of the oompany's vessels.
When the agreement was closed, she sold
her furniture and went on board the first
outgoing ship belonging TO the packet
company. For years this wise spinster
lived nearly all the time upon one ship or
another, frequently accompanied by
companion, according to the agreement.
This was always a person who otherwise
would have been regular passenger, but
who purchased her ticket at reduced rates
by paying the spinster instead of the
packet company. The company offered
her more than twice the value of the land
If she would give up her privilege, but
this she would not do. Her reply was,
"YOu got the land cheap, and like sail
ing, so we ought both to be satisfied. -

Camp Hamilton was the scene of
a most interesting occurrence last
Saturday morning. A number of
Columbia ladies, led by the Army
Comfort Circle, had previously ar
ranged to give the soldiers "ple
feast" and show the Mississippians
how Maury County women excel in
the art of pastry cooking.
The Indictment weather prevented
a number of the ladies from going
out to the camp, but those who did
go carried with them about three
hundred pies, and the aft tir proved
quite success. The soldiers had
been forewarned of the invasion, and
when the pie brigade" charged
bravely upon them they were well
prepared, with whetted appetites
and itching palates, to meet the on
slaught; Notwithstanding their over
whelming numbers, the soldiers
quickly ran up the flag of truce and
surrendered to the ladies with a
right royal grace.
The distribution of the pies took
place inside the grand stand, on ac-
count of the rain, and the manner in
which they were disposed of was
provocative of much merriment
AS the soldiers were marched up in
file before the distributing committee
and presented arms" the ladies in
turn would "present pies" and ther
but what followed can he beItel
imagined than described. Each pri
vate received a whole, big, juicy pie
to himself, and some of the Officers
could stand To look on no longer anC
went and discarded their otficia
bearings and became thigh pri
Yates" in order to come in for {
share of the feast. There were pump
kin pies, mince pies, apple pies, Gus
tard pies, and pies Of every othe
sort and description; pies so sweet
Juicy and crisp that the soldier
imagined while they were eatinI
them that they had been transport
ed to some spirit land and were feast
ing on angels food.
The three hundred pastries wer
not long in disappearing, and the at
fair was brought to close altOgeth
er too quickly. The occasion will
long be remembered by the soldiers
and whenever the ladies care t.
make another such attack upoI
them, they may be assured of re
ceiving hearty welcome.

NOTES OF CAMP HAMILTON.
Jackson, Miss, Wants the Soldier BOYs,
But They'll Doubtless Remain Here.

Jackson, Miss, Wants the Soldier BOys,
But They'll Doubtless Remain Here.
The citizens of Jackson, Miss, and
Gov. McLaurin, of that State, have
been making strong pull for the
encampment of soldiers now located
at this place, but it is quite probable
that the boys will remain where
they are until mustered out. Mai.
J. l.. Donald, Jr., commanding Off
Ger of the camp, received telegram
from the War Department several
days since, informing him that
Jackson wanted the soldiers and
asking his opinion in regard to the
matter. Maj, DOuald Immediately
replied that he did not think the
move advisable at all, as this was
the best camp the men had ever had a;
that they were all we'll quartered
for the winter, and that a move
would involve an unnecessary out
lay of cost, both 70 the government
and men. This seems to be the uni
versal opinion among the soldiers
they are entirely satisfied here, and
don't want to move. All tents have
been supplied with floors and heat
ers, and all needful supplies for the
winter are at hand. So, it's quite
improbable that Jackson will
get the encampment.

TpSv 'ilNED IN ALASKA.
Lost Only Their Labor and SOLO Apiece
In Six Mnntha, OnerntionA.

Lost Only Their Labor and SOLO Apiece
In Six Months Operations.
Every one who had ever been In Alaska
Of course began at the opening of the Klon-
dixie craze to relate personal experiences
Which In some way or other had conneo-
zion with the subject Of gold mining.
Many Of them had chance to make for
tune If they had only known, and others
saw millions, more or less, taken out Of
tho ground with a broken shovel, and the
man whose only capital it was come back
to the States and live happily ever after
word. But in spite of the ingenuity which
has been put into the manufacture of thesa
worries, there is an original flavor to one
t1!d by soldier at present located in the
United States army in this city.
IT was in 1880, when he was in the navy,
that he was stationed on vessel near
Stills. There was considerable gold being
taken CJt near there and an enterprising
speculatOr got hold of party of marines
on the ship and induced them to buy his
mine. There were 100 Of them who finally
went into the scheme, and they paid $40
each for their new source Of wealth. There
was always good deal of spare time on
tbeiP-,hands, and they easily secured per-
Emission to use this in working their claim.
For six months the soldiers dug quartz by
day and dreamed Of sudden wealth by
night. All were confident of being able to
retire from the service with comfortable
riches, and looked sadly on the poor Off
GERS, who would have to keep on soldering
all their lives, not being in the scheme.
At the end of six months they had a
large pile of quartz and, loading 1t into
all the old barrels, bags and provision
cases they could find, they sent it by ship
to the nearest crushing MILL Then follow
ed weeks of waiting till the returns should
come, and an air of subdued Importance
grew in each man who expected at any
time to be informed that he was worth
thousands of dollars. At last the ship
came which brought the returns from the
consignment, and the gallant hundred
gathered around the treasurer Of the COM
pany to hear how much each was now
worth. That individual opened the mes
sage, and grim smile froze on his face as
he went through short calculation ON the
back of the envelope.
Gentlemen, he said, "you each owe
the sum of 10 cents to the steamship COM
pany that carried the quartz. The gold in
it was just $40 short of the freight
charges"
And then he passed his hat, while one Of
their number sought out the ships chap
lain to lead in a short service. -Spring-
field Republican.
