Phillip Hurst, who lives near Sugar Loaf mountain in this county, lost three of his children by death yesterday. The ages of the children ranged from seven months to eight years. They died of some acute stomach trouble. The fun eral services were conducted by the Kev. \V. V. Jermau, of Patrick, as ?dsted'by the Rev. J. 1>. Harrelson, of Marlon county. Two other children in this home are not exi>ect??d to live. % THE TUMBLE BEETLE. Traveler* tell iih lluti they find chis eled on the temples, tombs aud , olie lisks tlmtv lie scattered along the hiinks <?f the Nile. innumerable sculptured images of a very orUluury, every -day looking kind of a beetle. The <?1<1 Egyptians of the misty past, studied tlie habits a ii< I l if<? history of tills in* dustrtous Insect, and saw In It enough to cause them to regard It with rever aftce. Tliey marveled at the care it bestowed on the preservation of a sin pie egg; they watched Its seeming death and hurtal, and its coming forth again, and this bug. for it was nothing but a bug,, was taken as the emblem of fecudity, and the symbol of the resurrection. ? So we find Its sculptured Image "mul tiplied to intiuity, on all the monu ments of the Pharacflis, from the mouth of the king of rivers to the heart of Nubia." Plutarch says that a carved, image of tills l>ceHe was ?idopt(Hl as the official seal of the military caste of Egypt. The efligy of this "bug of the big road,'' was rei>ented in a thousand different ways, and of every possible material, from rough granite to piffrft gold. They w?*re made in prodigious quantities, and are found today among the wrappings of mummies, and In the dust of tJWe saroopbagi. In the British Museum are specimens of colossal size, cat from stone, and measuring three and four feet in length. The small ones wiere used as charms, or talis mans, and also strung as necklaces. From the number found they must j have been about the most common ob ject in the dally life of the Egyptians. The fad of carving an 1oaag?- aft this ; bttgr an the jewelry of that day did not die with the builders of the pyramid#, but still exists, and today this same oid bug stares at us from watch .charaos, seal rings and bracelets. Now, I do not think for a moment that the scarab beetle, who has been immortal ised by the paintings and sculptor of aver three thousand years, is a creat ure at the past I*> not imagine that *Jn<m i y found in the abode of musty mtuntafet and in the dust of ancient ttatfba, tor it is yet with us, and work ing just aa hard as ever It labored in the hot sands of ancient Egypt.
