The discovery oF the, Cyprus treasure by General Di Cesnola, romantic as it was, bears no comparison in - point of dramatic interest with the revelation which awaited the Boolak officials at Dayr-el-Babaree. Slowly and with difficulty the one burrowed onwarc^froni chamber to chamber, entering gradually into possession of successive hoards of bronze and silver and gold. The others, threading their way among desecrated tombs and under the shadow of stupen? dous precipices, followed their trem? bling guide to a spot unpara^tedkeven in the desert for gaunt solemmtyri??re, behind a huge fragment of fallen ~- rock -perhaps dislodged for " that' purpose from the clifts overhead-they were shown the entrance?'tb a-pit ?o iugeni 0U8ly hidden ?hat, to: use their own words, *one might haye passed it twen? ty times without-observing-lt.--' - - Into this pit. they. were lowered by means of a rope. The shaft, which was two metres square by eleven and ; a half metres in depth, ended in a*narrow subterraneous passage trending west? ward. This passage, after, pursuing a straight direction for a distance of rath? er more than seven metres, ?urned off abruptly to the right, and stretched away northward into endless-night. Now stooping where the roof was low, now stumbling where the floor was ; un? even, now descending ,a flight.of rough ly-bewn stairs, ancrait a every' step penetrating deeper ands-?urther into the heart of the mountain, the intruders groped their way^ea^h J?Jilh hjs flicker? ing, candle in .iis hand^- -Pieces:of bro? ken mummy cases -and-fragments- of Unen bandages strewed^ the , floor. Against the walls were pited boxes fill? ed with porcelain statuettes, libation jars of bronze and teriu cotta^and can opic vases of precious Lycopolian ala? baster- In the corner to the left, where the long passage branched northward, flung carelessly down in a tumbled heap, perhaps by the hand, of the last officia? ting priest, lay the funeral canopy of Queen Isi-em-Kheb. - Then came severalii?u[ge"|Ba?co^hiigi | of-painted woo??, ami- farther -?on -?still, j some standing^u^r?ght,^somi?laid at] length, a crowd of mummy' leases fash? ioned in-human Rito? witb3otded hands and solemn faeess?d ever-wakeful eyes, each emblazoned with; the. name'.and titles of its occupant.'

To eoume/ate alt the treasures fcupd in. this chain ber would be to writ e asup plement to the catalogue of the Boolak Museum.

Besides statuettes, libation j jars, and the like, she was provided with a sumptuous funereal repast, con? sisting, of .-gazelle ' haunches, trussed I geese, calves' heads, dried grapes, J dates, dom-palm nuts, and the like, the meats being mummified and bandaged, and the whole packed in a large rush hamper, sealed with her fa usd an d's iin T>roken seal.

BILL ABF. - Too Mach Trashy Literature. We were picking the cockle burrs ont of the wool this evening and as the children were sitting aronnd I noticed that their hilarity sorter weakened as they porsoed this new and nonotonous business. By and by little Jessie began to nod and I picked np the little thing and laid b*er on the bed. Before long Carl's fingers seemed to get tender and ever and anon he wonld exelaim 'Oh ! shucks/ as a mean old burr wonld stick in bis sore fin?ej?.: One of the girls wanted to know if the wool factories didn't have machinery to take ont the burrs. *Yes, my dear/ said I 'but when they buy a lot of wool all baled up thej don't know how many burrs and bow much dirt is in it, and so they wont give you but 18 cents a pound for it just aa it come-off the sheep, but if it has been was hedland picked they will give you 32 cents-so we must pick it. If I had known what I know now I wouident haye troubled you, for it don't pay to wash and pick it.' This little lot of wool weighed, before washing 80 pounds and now it weighs only 45. A sli'eQp,.carries nearly as much dirt and o?ct^Tis fleece as he does wool. But this iff only a little job compared with what your grandmother used to do. Night after night she had to pick the seed from the cotton, for there were no cotton gins when she was a child. 'Good o ess gracious,' said 'one of the girls, /ain't 1 glad I. wake n't a child then.' . -.' .". :. 'Oh, it was all right, my children,' said I, for you see the girls didn't have any novels and literary trash to read then, und so they never%onsidered it a hardship to set around the fireafter sup? per and pick cotton and tell" stories of their own, but now the girls bavent time for such things, for these novels have got to be read if it takeS^all night to do it. A young lady is~not considered ed? ucated for society UDless she can show a familiarity with every lovesick ro? mance and every wild, extravagant, un? natural story that comes ont. They must be ready to criticise and, talk rap? sodies a^d * expatiate over? the plot and the hero or herohse, even if they have to sleep till aftetf break fas t to make up for the time lost the night before in perusing such tomfooleries.

The surest place I know of Ts right at home in the family circle and while doing a reasonable, por? tion* of domestic work. I wouldn't work all the time by no means unless I was obliged, to, but I would mix up some frolic and music and read some .stand ard-^books and magazines .and news? papers/but I* would make home the big thing, and stand ap to it, and talk for it, and. talk for it, and talk for it, for the poet never wrote a truer thing than when he said, 'There's no place like home.',; r When a young man's mind goes to roaming, and foraging aronnd and he dreams of Texas or Californa or the silver mines in Mexico, he is in a bad condition, aod reminds me of these of? fice-seekers who are always a waiting and a longing and a scheming to get j au office,, if they would undertake some regular business and work as bard to make it pay as they do to get office, they would soon be comfortable and a heap happier. ' The young men nowa? days are too restless and too ambitious. They want to get rich or famous all of a sudden. They don't want to knuckle down to hard work or humble work. They have too great a horror of being poor. If it wascot for fear of the law some of 'em would steal rather than be poor,'and some of'em do it anyhow. Says I, 'Cobe, your are a mighty poor man ; now, I want to know if you are happy ?' 'Squire,' says he, 'Fm a leetle too dogon poor to be happy-just a leetle -but I ain't to say onbappy or misera? ble.. My old 'oman" has got six mighty fine little childern, efl do say it, and I'd like to fix 'em up sorter decent like, so they could go to meetin, and about and abort, you know, but I've had to rent land ever since the war b.?pke up, and I've had to run io cotton, and its been nip and tuck all the time, and a little more nip than tuck, and last year the droiith busted inc clean opent and I couldn' get any more credit, and if we didn't like to perish to death, in the name of thc Lord, this last winter, I wish I-may bc hung on Ila:Dian's gal lus-we did those.' . 'How much money would it take to make you happy, Cobe ?' 'Well, squire, I dou'tknow; I railly dou'tr, but I reckon as how a hundred dollars wouiid be .as much as we could' manage, fW we don't need much of any? thing now. . /.The, sum m ar bas come, and we've got a good chunk of a cow anda tolableyarding, and there is plenty of berries about, and the children won' need any shoes till frost, and tey crop is porty good, and we've fleyer suffered for bread as yet, though we've quit eatin* meat since Christmas, for it didn't agree with us, leastways we made out it didn't, for we couldn't git any. Bat squire I was a thinking what I'd do with as much as a hundred dollars, and I don't know hardly, but the old 'oman-would know I reckon, for I never 1 seed one that dident, bat then I'd like to get Will a par of shoes, and Molly a calico and a town doll, for Molly never had a town doll. But the old 'oman she's got sense and she'd know what to do with it. I'd be sorter feerd to risk it all by myself.' Jesso. And Co be smiled, and Cobe is happier than Vanderbilt, and Cobe's wife thinks he is jost the best mau in the world, and s'-.'c wouldeot swap bim off for nobody, though they do say he is the ugliest man in the country. I never saw"a mor? honest aupr?tendiog love in a family than in Cobe's. Six children, and the oldest only ten years of age, and they love one another and help one another all they can, and Mrs. Cobe is always cheerful and says she aint'afreered but what they will get along, for they always have got along. The other day Mrs. Arp ransacked her big old trunk that's always full of some? thing, don't matter how much she takes but of it, and 'etuJfed a sack-bag full of one thing and an other and sent it over to Cobe's house for thc children, and so yesterday Mrs. Cobe she sent .down a bucket of nice butter, and Mrs. Arp said she felt like it would be highway robbery-to take it but then she was af? raid it "would rhurt the poor woman's feelings.to send it back and so she kept it, though she said she knew them chil? dren had nothing to eat but bread and skim milk. Poverty is a hard thing unless a man is used to it, but there are worse thiDgs with the rich sometimes, ? wouldn't^ive-a-^entr for a big pile of moneynf r:Ea^tc\^e^lfe "usual? per? quisites with it^ such as pride and van? ity, and poor health and a sickly wife and bad children and a big run of com? pany all the time. I reckon the good Lord has made all things about right, and the poor man can bc as happy as the rich one if he wants to. j Gold Mining in South Caro? lina. A correspondent of the .

This crusher reminded me of an elephant's head with- tte ..part whereit^was "Cttt^from the body op,N and oue of its jaws moving. Large pieces of the hardest rock are drop* de?^int? capacious jaws of the crusher, and are soon* mashed quite small and ^fopped out 'npon the ground-, f- The;ore is then frown info hoppers, "^^n?af ''it'-.- passes under the stamps. These stamps are long j iron cylinders weighing several tons, they are raised by cranks attached to ?hjaftingVan?lar?^oing " ap and. do wn a?,the Mme like a pestle io a mortar*. The rock'is thus beaten to a dust, and '^ix^m^^y^?:'^i??% over the j^'^iiS^^^afa^l'f?H, ..washes this dost through.a fine wire. gauze. ^l^nTti^y^afer:;-rBBfs >finmediately overahr,ee.,wide O?tar??^"plates," which ! ar^^yeted^with quicksilver... This \_ serve^to-gatHe^- ?he; ^cidr-^ica - beisgj heavier than ' other1 substances tn the water, is, of coarse at the bottom of the stream. . The, quicksilver., when full of gold dust, |s scraped . from the metalic pjates an? being placed in a retort, and subjected to beUlf ''ls' dis? engaged!* and' the gold is left moire or fess pure. I was told that the rock, as it came from the mine, was found to contain from five dollars to sixty .dollars worth of gold in a ton. A careful assay is made of the ore be? fore it is passed over, the metalic plates mentioned above, and again after it has collected as mud in the pools be? yond ; and It was found that two or three dollars of gold remained in the .mud, or tailing, as it- is - called. So, extensive and costly machinery has been, put up through which this tail? ing is passed, and, so perfect is it for gathering the gold, that only thirty or forty cents, and sometimes only a trace of gold is left in a ton of tail? ing. They work day and night stop? ping at 12 o'clock Saturday night and starting again'st ll . o'clock Sunday night, and from forty to fifty tons of rock are puf*through in a day. Thus, it is seen that about two hundred dol? lars worth. of gold is gathered out every day. .1 am inclined to think some money is being. made, and I hope for our county's sake, as well as that of the corporation owning it, that the* mine will be a success. We went j down the main shaft, which is 135, I feet deep, and found that they bad tunneled to a considerable distance in several directions. They have a tramway and little cars down there to carry the rocks from the blast to the shaft. Bibulous Theology. Speaking of Calvinists brings up a story told rae by Mr. Handy, of Philar delphia, yesterday, about a meeting be? tween Senator Vance, of North Caro? lina, and Governor Hoyt, of Pennsyl? vania, at ?orktown, one of whom had been iu the Rebel army aod the other io the ?nioD army. There was a saloon convenient, into which they went, and, having had a drink or two, Vance said to Hoyt : 'What church do you belong to V .Presbyterian:' *I don t believe it,' said Vance. . : 'Sound me,' said Hoyt. VVVhat is the chief end of man ?' said Vance. 'To glorify God,' replied Hoyt. 'Right.' . . Then said Hoyt to Vance: 'How many questions are there in thc Cate? chism V .One hundred and thirty-eight.* 'Right,? said Hoyt. 'What is sin V said Vance. Hoyt rattled out the entire definition of the Westminster divine, and Vanoe cried: ^ 'Right again. Now, let's take a drink/ The Charleston Museum. A correspondent of Darlington News, who bas lately been to Charleston, has written a letter to that paper from which we take the following : Few people who visit Cheleston re? member that there is in the city a Mu? seum which thc late Prof. Agassiz pro? nounced the third if not the second best in the United States. If this mu? seum were in a Northern city thousands would fiock to behold its curiosities, and it would long since have attained a national notoriety, but in Charleston it is neglected and comparatively un? known. . The citizens even are indiffer? ent in regard to it and. never take the trouble to advertise its merits. Yet it will well repay an inspection of the curiosities to be found there. Stuffed specimens of all known animals, birds and reptiles from every quarter of the globe are seen here looking as natural as when in life. Besides the stuffed specimens, there are also skeleton spec? imens for the study of the anatomist. Among that of the latter was tbe whale caught in the harbor a year or more since. This was being put together at tbe time of my visit, and though not fully completed was near enough to give a very lively idea of the size of the monster. Standing inrfront of bis tre? mendous jawbooes that could open wide enough for a man to stand erect between them, seeing the man who was fastening on the vertebrae sitting comfortably be? tween the ribs,-my mind involuntarily ran. back to the story of Jonah. I re? membered the boyish dread with which I used to listen to the terrible tale of Jonah's flight, the awful storm, the solemn casting of lots and the fearful retribution that overtook him. Though ? knew bis punishment was. just, my youthful sympathies were excited when? ever I pictured to myself the poor old fellow in close quarters 'cabined, crab? bed, confined.' I wondered what he did for light, how be rested himself when tired of one position, &c. Had I known more of the whale ruy wonder would have been less, for a sight of t.he creature as he really is, will dispel all such illusions into thin ahv,. Why, Mr. Editor, if Jonah was an ordinary sized man, and his captor as large as the specimen I.saw io tbe Museum, there is no reason to suppose that Jonah was no? comfortably situated in his strange quarters. He merely made a short voyage in a whaling schooner .and could either "sT?T~wit? his back pressed against the.ribs of his^essel pr lay. full length along her sides.^jle. .had; light enough to satisfy ra good J^sWnd oil to lubricate the running gear. T?^Jiert, Mr. Editor,. Jonah had . room en'ongh' Inat??er^ ladies to be more tighly pressedf by whalebone and other kinds of bones and they "never complained. "\ ' ? ..' ^uiirer Problem.

He goes.around the tre? and everything on it. 2; Should the squirrel have the start, I am of the opinion that the man goes around it 3. Not by a darn sight does the hun? ter walk around the squirrel. 4. The man goes around the squir? rel. It is just like a wheel within a wheel. 5. The man don't go around the squirrel.

The Ej?yptian Trouble. Sixty-seven Europeans are said to have been killed in a riot at Alexan? dria, Egypt, on Sunday, thc 11th in? stant. It broke out in three different I parts of the city, and the fighting, ex? cept the attacks on' the consuls, was for the purpose of pillage. Mr, Cookson; the English Consul, was struck io the head and had an arm broken. The Italian Consul! was wounded-by a stone. The wife of the Austrian Consol-Gene? ral was attacked and insulted. The Times 3 correspondent at Cairo lays the responsibility for the riots upon j Arabi Bey. Dervisch Pasha had sum ! mooed him to resign and there seemed to be no alternative but submission or defiance ; but since the riots broke out Dervisch Pasha bas bad to appeal to Arabi Bey as commanding the only available force to restore order. Arabi Bey and Mahmoud Pasha Sami had sup?rate interviews with Dervisch Pasha on Sunday. Thc re? sult is not known, but it is generally believed that they refused to submit to Dervisch Pasha's views. At a meeting of the military leaders in Cairo it was decided to petition the Khedive to abdi? cate. It was declared that if he did not he would be assassinated.

He I came from Qu?bec, where he bad had command of a regiment. "His trip through the country was accomplished in carryalls and sleighs ; a'courier bad been sent on to Burlington to prepare for his accomodation. There, were then only seven houses in the whole village, and bot one, that of Wi ne as iToomib, Wi ge. enough to receive so numerous a party. The Prince, arrived in the afternoon with 13 carryalls and sleighs, and left the thirl day before noon. He had with him two aids and two body-4 guards, a lady and a cook. At this place, Burlington, he dismissed the teamster who bad brought him from Canada and engaged five farmers to take him on tc Boston. It was said by these men that he was a jolly compa?? ?n, enjoyiog the pork and beans, nut cakes and cheese. Amongst the . early settlers of the mown was Col. Stephen Keyes, a gentleman of the old school who wore a coocked hat and kept a hotel on Water street. He proposed to pay his respects to Prioce Edward, and with several young men of the village made a call in the evening. Col. Keyes introduced himself to the Prince and then stated that he had brought with him"some young gentlemen of legal and mercantile pursuits who wished to pay their respects to him. They were sev? erally presented and the Prince respect? fully bowed to each. This was appar? ently the commencement of a pleasant evening's entertainment. But what was their dismay when the Prince and his aids very informally and abrupt? ly retired to their own apartments ! The Colonel could not brook this, and in unmeasured terms vented his indig? nation and declared the Prince 'no gen? tleman.' Cow Peas. The cow pea. is our 'Southern Clo? ver'-a great protective to the soil-a most valuable fertilizer, and excellent forage. Knov?ing all this we strongly ?ndorse the following advice of Bro. Wiggins, in the N. 0. Commercial Bulletin. ' If you wish to clean your land from noxious weeds plant cow peas. If you wish to kill Burmuda grass or .nut grass,' (Coco,) if you wish to fer? tilize your soil at little expense. If you wish to prepare your land for the reception of email fruit and grapes, if you desire to grow a profitable crop for market, plant, cow peas. In any even do not fail , to plant' an abundance of cow peas fertilizing for bay, for home ase, and market. "It will pay.-Abbeville Medium. mimi ? ? ? ? ^? A Beer Story.

'What do yon do with your cocoanut shells V asked a Record reporter of a prominent candy manufacturer 'Sell them to be made into pepper,' said be, and the aroused cariosity of the reporter was not quieted by his statement that the shells were really ground and used by spice men to adulterate pepper and other of their wares. Further investi* gatton showed that a factory where the shells are ground up is in Camden, and is a one-story brick building, the capac? ity of the mill being about two tons of ground shells per day. The shells are brought to the factory in bags and de? posited in the roasting department. Here they are carefully scraped and put io great revolving ovens which are con? stantly kept tarn io g over beds of blar? ing coal. Some of the shells are roasted to a light brown, while others come out crisp and black. After being carefully sorted, the dark shells are put in hop* pers in the grinding department and re? duceoTto a fine powder like pepper. The brown sheH&.'?re not ground so fine, and come from/ifae mill looking exactly like ground coffee. This Camden factory is said to have been in operation for about a mooth. The shells cost very little, and the mill io g is done at an expense of about two or two-and-a-half cents per pound. A representative of a leading spice house, io speaking of this novel prepa? ration, said that while his bouse bad VAC used it, he supposed it was a- harmless ad ul teration for spices. -\ y * We have our own method of adulteration,1 said he, and sell to the trade probably more adulterated goods than pure. We can't help it. There is no pretense on our part that the lower grades of spices, are pnre. We simply seil the retailer what he wants. We sell them spices at almost .any figure. Pepper, for in? stance, as low as eight and nine cents, but it is about as much something else as it is pepper. It would min the-trade to prohibit adulteration, and, besides, there are not enough spices grown Jp supply the United States alone if noth? ing but pure spices were sold. We are constantly making experiments to dis? cover the cheapest harmless foreign matter with which we can mix our goods in order to supply the demand for the lower grades/ The powder made from ground cocoa? nut shells bas a fine, color, and on ac? count of its weight and appearance is considered by spier.dealers to be choice adulterating material. .

In the death at Deadwood, D. T.', the other day, of the Rev. George C.

Schroep pel. IA child was born and the mo? ther was told the child was dead. Upon her ^recovery she returned to her native place, where she continued to pass under ber maiden name. When she died it : was found that she bad bequeathed her property, to the Syracuse * Home Association. The child, however, did not die, but was taken away by its gradfather. Pr'. Pee- j nell, a physician, and when it was nine weeks old it was. intrusted by him to Raphael Renz, of No. 63^Lorimer steet, Br?klyn, to be raised. The child was kept In ignorance of his parentage, but on coming of age he discovered facts which led him to believe that the Rev. Mr. Pennell was his Tafber. He fol? lowed up these clews, and finally suc? ceeded in obtaining a recognition of his parentage by Mr. Pennell. The father, however, would never receive bis son, but, humiliated by the exposure of hts heartlessness and treachery to both wife and son, removed to Deadwood, where he remained in comparative obscurity until he died.-Baltimore Bay.
