AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN. Unrolling Penpl, a Contemporary of Elijah and Aaab. About 150 persons, who bad been in vited to witness tbe removal of tbe mum? my from its case, assembled in the anato? mical lecture room anxiously awaiting the ceremonies which were to be held over an ancient Egyptian. In tbe front of tbe room upon a long table stood the r'ject toward which all eyes were directed; tbe case, which was covered with inscriptions and rude rep? resentations, had been cut into and ar? ranged in such a manner as to facilitate the work that was about to begin. Short? ly after 3 o'clock Prof. Tyler arose, and, after a few introductory remarks, spoke substantially as follows: "This mummy was presented to Presi? dent White and the university by Mr. Pomeroy, Consul-General at Cairo. He procured it at the necropolis, in Upper Egypt, about a year ago, but was detained at Thebes, by the ravages of the cholera in Lower Egypt,-until fall. At Cairo a French scientist translated tbe hiero? glyphics which are upon the case, from which we learn that this man's name was 'Penpi,' and that he lived in the twenty-third dynasty. "There arc different theories advanced why the Egyptians embalmed the bodies of their dead; one, because it was a san? itary necessity; another, because they could not bury them"with safety; But these theories hardly seem to be satisfac? tory. By the inscriptions on tombs, monuments, and on the mummies them? selves, we learn that it was a sacred rite, the expression of their faith and belief | in their religion, which at that time was a pure faith; they believed that life was a conflict between good and evil,- and that man's, destiny would be settled by a final judgment, but evolution was silent? ly working in the Egyptian faith as well as science, though downward instead of upward. . In consequence of this belief. the friends did all they could to make the, future of the departed bright and happy and to protect him against the attacks of the Evil One. "from these figures here on the case we see that the friends of 'Penpi' were anxious to secure repose for his soul; here? on his head is the sacred beetle, around his neck is the representation of a necklace, on his breast is the figure of a vulture holding two seals in his claws? an emblam of eternity?below is a spar? row-hawk,- also holding a seal. From the inscription we learn that 'Penpi' belonged to- the twenty-third dynasty. Eight hundred years B. C. kind frieuds laid sway this body, which, to All appearances, 'has remained unharmed for nearly 3,000 years. We can hardly comprehend that this man lived before the first Olympiad, nearly fifty years before the legendary founding of Borne, was a contemporary', with the founding of Carthage; lived 200 years before Cyrus, 300 years before Confucius, 750 years before Julius Csesar invaded Britain, 400 years after the Trojan war, 100 years after Homer, 222 years before Solon, 300 years before the battle of Marathon, or in Jewish chronol? ogy* 500yesrsafter the exodus, 175years * after.Solomon, and was a contemporary ?of Elijah, Elisha, and.Ahab." v:..PfQf. Tyler then introduced Prof. ?age, who gave a brief account of the method pursued by the' Egyptians in embalming the bodies of the dead. He - said: "The process of embalming is very simple, and is not, - as i3 generally sup? posed, a lost art. After death the re? mains were taken to the lower order of I priests, who removed the soft parts of the body, which was then placed iu a sort of | brine and there soaked for seventy days; it was then removed, and resin, cinna? mon, myrrb, &c, were applied, this was followed by a thorough drying. Some* times the face was gilded, but only by the most wealthy. The cost of embalm? ing a body in this way was from $1,000 to $2,000; after the drying process the body was wrapped, often 1,000 yards of bandage being used. "The cose about this mummy is evi dently made of the same malarial as the cloth wrappings but soaked in some gum." ,. ( After- the speaking tbe mummy was taken from the case and the unwrapping commenced. Tbe bandages, which were of a yellowish color, about ten feet long and four inches wide, were made of linen and fringed at the ends; they were put on very symmetrically, one layer being .crosswise, the.next up and down. * The head only was uncovered in the presence of the visitors. This was found to be in a good state of preservation; the hair had been shaven closely, but on the back of the head a little could be seen, which was of a sandy color; the beard also' could; be recognized. The face was of medium size, with a low 'forehead, a Roman nose, and rather high cheek bones?altogether a good-looking face, taking his sge into consideration As the- unwrapping was going on a grain : of wheat,- well preserved, was found, which was placed in a bottle and passed around that all might see. Those present were asked to look at the mummy as they passed out, an op portunity of which nearly all availed themselves.' After this the bandages ? were taken from the whole body. Be? tween the legs parts of the viscera, which had been taken from tbe body, were four d carefully wrapped in linen cloth. Tnc body was hard and of dark brown color, five feet and five inches in height, and the nails of the fingers, and .. toes were as perfect as when tbe body was placed in its narrow limits. A num ber of small beetles that had bored tbeir way through the case were found among the bandages. . ?>?- 5 *reucn"Hosband. ~ ? ~?r?[ g;--~ - ' - -. ? " -A^ Frenchman recently died who, it is narrated on his wedding day some twenty : years agd/took the original?pet haps it may be said rather imprudent?resolution to keep a yeai ly account of kisses exchang? ed with his wife until their union became severed by death of jne or the other. He was destined to be the first to go, .but when on his sick bed, foreseeing '-that he would not recover, he b.eggedr;i friend to. let the world know the result of his twenty years' account-keeping. During the first year of wedded life the kisses exchanged reached the colossal figure of 36,500, or 100 a day on ah average; but in tbe following twelve months there was a notable decrease, not more than 16,000 being inscribed on his register; while tbe third year shows a still greater fall? ing off, the average number of kisses being about ten a day. And after the lapse of five years a further reduction is recorded, and the account-keeper's task is simplified, for only two kisses were exchanged during each twenty-four hours ?"one on rising, one on retiring to rest." Later on, during tbe last ten years of his married life, they "only kissed each other on leaving for, or returning from, a journey:"? and he had very little trouble in making up his annual domestic statis? tics.? London Standard. ? The tallest girls are considered the most beautiful at the fashionable water? ing places this season. A Newport man put his daughter's hat and gown on a polo supporting a martin box the other evening, and twenty-seven near sighted dudes pawed up his garden while bowing to the effigy, and caught such a cold that they busted their trousers every time they sneezed. ? "Thi? ring, which I would ask you to accept of mo, is emblematic of my love for you ; it has no end." "Thank you very much, Mr. B.; it curiously resem? bles my love for you; it has no begin? ning." ? The houses built in London in 1SS3 would cover a street for a distance of over seventy-five miles. Charity of Speech. It showsa noble heart to speak kindly of the erring. Charity of speech is as divine a thing as almsgiving or the char? ity of action. The tongue that speaketh no evil is as lovely and as much to be admired as the hand that administers to suffering humanity. To judge no one harshly; to misconstrue no man's mo? tives ; to believe things are what they seem to be until the contrary is proven ; to temper judgment with mercy, is equally as praiseworthy as to build churches, establish asylums and found colleges. Unkind words do as much harm and destroy as much happiness as unkind deeds. Many a heart has been pained and wounded beyond the reach of the cure effected by the healing balm of j time; many a reputation has been stabbed to death by the blight and the sting of a look or a word. They have destroyed the peace of families, parted husbands and wives, and broken the sacred ties of friendship between the dearest and the most intimate friends. There is a charity which thinketh no evil and speaketh no evil, and which consists in withholding words, .in suppressing harsh expressions, in abstaining from speech, when to speak is to censure and condemn. Such charity hears .the tale of slander under a protest and repeats it not again; it refuses to be one to help the ball of calumny and detraction roll on, and will not be accessory to the cruel and relentless butchery of character and reputation. While the busy, tattling and censorious world is plotting mischie? and indulging in whispers and insinuations intended to wound the heart and mar the character, charity sits dumb amid the chatter of words and the shots of the sharp shoot? ers, refraining from passing judgment on that about which it knows nothing and has no proof of any charges of wrong or unfair dealing, and which, even if it had, would prefer throwing the mantle of charity or the cloak of silence over the faults and failings of the earing. Chari? ty listens in silence but refrains from un? favorable comment, and locks the un? pleasant secret up in the inner chamber of the heart. It would be impossible for slander and detraction to prevail as widely as they do, if reticence instead of promulgation were observed as the universal and in? variable rule. Could report, especially unfavorable report, be furnished with the swill feet and hundred wings it has if! there were not so many willing ears to hear, and busy tongues to tell, the dark I and damning tale of calumny and detrac? tion? It is speech, deep dark and vin? dictive, that keups the fire alike and lends vigor to the flame that scorches the tender wings of innocence and love. It is to the heart that is kind and gentle that charity flies and takes pos? session and broods gently and quietly over it with the tender care and mild peacefuloess of the dove. There it takes I up its abode and makes its home, and by I the words withheld and the kindly words I obt-spokeo, we have seen that the dove of peace was nestling in the heart. The 1 bosom that is filled with bitterness will give expression to it in words. It sees nothing bright or beautiful because it ? looks through a clouded and selfish vis? ion.? Columbia Yeoman. Why She Came to Little Kock. Recently passers-by noticed a woman standing on the corner of Main and Fourth streets. She wore an old sun bonnet and her dress indicated adversity. A gentleman, moved by the spirit of charity, approached her and asked : "Are you alone ?" "Yes." "In distress ?" "Yes." "Have you applied to the authorities ?" "Yes." "Won't they help you?" "The chief of police says he will do all he can to assist nie."' - "Have you a family ?' " "Yes." "Where?" "Texas." "How long have you been in Little Bock?" "Got here this afternoon." "What i3 the nature of your distress ?" "Why a confounded fellow down in Texas fooled my daughter, stole my mule and came to this town. I don't mind his fooling 'Riah so much, but the thought that he's got that mule goes through me like a darnin' needle." .... ?? The man let a nickel fall back into his pocket and strolled away. A Case In Point. Young Johnny Jarpley was inclined to be .a good boy, and his mother spent much time in instructing Lim in the encrmity of the sin of telling falsehoods and, to impress it upon him, wound up by telling him that people who told lies choked to death. When the Rev, Mr, and Mrs. M?ckle were taking dinner at the Jarpleys on a return call, the 'next day, Mrs. Jarpley asked her guest: "So, Mrs. M?ckle, you like my cooking ?" "It is splendid, Mrs. Jarpley, just splendid," enthusiastically responded Rev. Muckle's lady. "Mr. Jarpley *is fortunate in the possession of such an excellent cook as yourself." - Just as the lady concluded she took a Bip of water, and a few drops "going the wrong way," caused her to cough. "There she goes I There she goes, .mother!" exclaimed young Jarpley in great excitement. "I heard her say, when you was out of the parlor to Mr. M?ckle, 'she wished it was over, as one of your dinners was enough to kill a mule and she wondered how your hus? band had ever lived so long."?

If we could begin life old, we might be able to avoid the pain of teething, the danger of measles, and other ills to which infant flesh is heir. But it seems to be necessary that we should begin life young. Somehow, there is no getting over it.?Somerville Journal. ?

A case is on trial in one of the courts of New York City, in which Al? exander Boyd sues Catharine, his wife, to compel her to carry out the alleged terms of their marriage contract. He says that by this contract, made on May 6,1879, she agreed to settle on him one half of her third interest in the estate of her deceased husband, James McArthur. He agreed to marry her in return, and on May 15 following he did marry her. Now, be says, she won't give him the property. Mrs. Boyd claims to have signed the contract, if at all, while under the influence of liquor, but Boyd brings witnesses to prove that she was sober. The amount involved is about $2,500. ? In Armenia girls are married when 12 years old. Iu this country at that age they are too busy buying candy and making faces at the boys to think of matrimony. PHOTOGRAPHS!

His PostofficoIs Yatcs ville, Upaon County, Ga. The following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 1882 I was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Hollo way finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Re? storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After tak? ing two or three doses, I began to Improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am now In excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in mv opin? ion. Dr. H. promised me that he would write to the manlacturers and tell them of the wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early in November, 1881, wh??ssewlngon tho machine, my wife was taken with a rarere pain in her aide, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. FeTet com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, ancNpa few weeks she was reduced to a living skeletons The attending physician told mo that be thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her atom* ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation. They made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Hofloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last jesort. T sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it on her stomach, and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement In her condition. I continued tho medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She Is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a family of six children, some of them grown." Mr. HOorndon's Post office is Yatcsville, Upson County, Ga.

POISON OAK Seems to yield every time to treatment with Swift's Specific. Spartanburg, S. C, March 13,1884. Your moat valuable medicine (Swift's Specific) has done me so much good that I feel like saying this for the benefit of those who suffer like I did. I was poisoned by poison oak. and saw not a well day for six years, until I used Swift's Specific. In the six yearsl used almost every kind of medi? cine, but none bad the desired effect. After using six bottles of Swift's Specific I am restored to perfect health?with not a sign of that awful poison left! Yours truly, DAVID NE8BITT. POISON OAK I had for thirty-eight years suffered every spring and summer with Poison Oak. which I contracted in bathing when a boy. I tried everything for it, including many physicians, but without any benefit. I took six bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) four years ago, and it cured me sound and well. Three summers have passed, and I have had no retnrn of it. Joseph Beasley, Columbus, Oa. Remarkable Results. I have had remarkable success with Swift's Specific; have cured several cases permanently in a very short time. One case which I am now treating was given up to die, and after using three bottles is so far recovered that I think one more bottle will cure her. The most remarkable case of all was a lady with medulary cancer of the womb, for whom I had no hope whatever. After using one bottle I am satisfied she will soon be cured. J. WYLIE QUILLIAN, M.
