SHAKEN DOWN.
In one of our western nities a forgery to
a large amount had been effected, and the
perpetrator had escaped with the spoils.
The place of his concealment was not cer
tainly known, but he was supposed to be se
creted in New York city.
In the city where the crime had been
committed I held a situation as lieutenant
of police, and iu obedience to orders I pro
ceeded to New York in search of the forger.
It was my first evening in town, and as I
was silling within the friendly walls of tbe
St. Nicholus, wrapped in a cloud of tobacco
smoke and a fine specimen of the latest
style of false whiskers and mustache, I saw
enter a very dear friend, from whom two
years before I had ported in California.
As he passed he glanced at me, but did
not recognize me. 1 was glad of it, font
assured mo that my false whiskers would be
a valuable aid to me as a .disgiuse in the
search which or. the next day Iintendcd to
oommence.
My friend lighted a cigar, and seated
himself some distance from me. As I
could’lit allow tho opportunity of speaking
to him pass by, I went to wards him and
said:
“Good evening, Air. Markham.’
“Good evening sir,” he replied, at the
same time looking at me as if endeavoring
to recull my countenance.
“When did you return from Eldorado ?”
I asked of him.
“A week ago, but really you have the ad
vantage over me, inasmuch as you are ac
quainted with my name, while I do not re
cognize you.’’
“Is that the case
‘•It is, sir.’’
“Don't you remember me ?”
“No, sir, I do not,” ho replied.
“Can I speak with you one moment in
private ?*’ I asked.
“Certainlywas the answer, and aris
ing ho accompanied me to my room. When
the door was closed, I said :
“Do you not recollect me ?”
“I cannot,” was tho reply.
Taking of my whiskers and mustache,
and speaking in a natural tone, for I had
before used a disguised voice, I asked :
“Does that refresh your memory ?”
“Harry Evans, by all that’s powerful,
he exclaimed, as he grasped my hand and
shook it until I feared thut when he should
release it my fingers would drop ofl.
“But what is tho meaning of all this;
where did yuu come from, und what are
you up to that you must disguise yourself
so that your friends don’t know you?”
On promise of secrecy, and in a few words
I told him what business I had before me.
When 1 ended he cried out:
“By Jove, Hurry, of all the men in ibe
city you ure the one I urn most delighted to
See; for there is a little matter which is pre
cisely in your line that I want attended to.”
I assured him that nothing would afford
me more pleasuro than to servo him in any
way which might be in my power.
Having ordered some champiagne and
fresh cigars, he tcJd me of the work which
bo had for me to do, and I will repeat the
Story as nearly os possible in his own words:
“It is just a week since l arrived here
with good health and plenty of money—a
combination of circumstances which I con
sider particularly fortunate—and last night
the trouble happened which I want you to
set right.
“During tho evening, having nothing
better to do, I trot I led into Burton’s to wit-
ness him in ono of hisinmitablcperforman

was neatly but rather showly dressed, and
who appeared to be unaccompanied by any
one.
“Moreover, she was exceedingly hand-
jome, and having by some chanco entered
into conversation with her, I found her also
very interesting. What started our acquain

afar off on their boats beheld the ruin of the (to them)
lovely cities, and recited the wrongs inflicted ou
them by the long haired race in burning their cathe

noon our attention was attracted by numerous little
yellow flags which wo supposed at the time to have

A STONE FRoTi Tumri"
TTc are indebted to a friend who lias return
ed from a visit to New York, for the opportuni
ty of examining and presenting to curious rea
ders, who can call at the Courier office, a most
interesting document This is a/<(c simile
from a photographic print, with explanation
and interpretation, of part of a manuscript late
ly discovered. For convenient and concise de
scription, we take the following account from
the New York Erening Post:
Discovert of a Manuscript of the Time of
David.—In the year 1858 a Theban mountain
eer discovered in a hill, ralletf by the Arabs
Shin-abd-el-Gourna, a tomb cut out of the rock
in which he found 3 mmum-p piuso a tablet of
green stone, a box with four canopi of Oriental
alabaster, and on the side of a magnificent
mummy with a gilded mask and a large gilded
scarabteus of porcelain on its breast, a most re
markable papyrus scroll, five feet long and ten
inches wide, written in the finest hieratic and
hieroglyphic characters. The four jars were
sold to Lord Henry Scott, a young Englishman.
The mask was purchased by a copt who pur
chased and sold antiquities at Thebes, and was
transferred by him to the French co lsular agent
at that place, and may be now e ther in his
possession or in the museum at Paris. Tho
papyrus, as also the scarabieus. th; tablet and
the eagle, came into the hands o ’ George A.
Stone, Esq., ofRoxbury, Mass., th;n traveling
in Egypt. Mr. Stone sent copies and photo
graphs of the papyrus to several Egyptologists
in New York, who attempted its translation,
but failed, because they were only acquainted
with Cliampollion’s system.
Finally, Sir. Stone sent a photographic copy
to Professor G. Seyftarth, of St Louis, Mo.,
having been informed that this gen leman had
published, in the year 1833 and 1835, the key
to the Egyptian literature and to the ancient
astronomical inscriptions and monuments. This
savant the author of the *• Summary of Recent
Discoveries,” &C., New York, 1867, and a large
number of other works, has just published tho
translations and explanations, as requested of'

and Sung Ling as the name of the Roly Ghost, thus
putting beyond controversy the use of thue words
which have given missionaries so much trouble.
For baptism they wipe the breast implying the
