KXFUWMt THE KLABORATE TOMBS OF
THE LUXURIOUS SUBJECTS OF THE
RAMBIDB—THE EGYPT OF THE
PAST AND THE EOTFT OF
MODEHM TIMES.
From the Sen ynudMO^rouiuto.l
The tombs of BemlHassun are out
in one of the hard strata of a hill that
lies to the east of the Nile bank.
The river once flowed much closer
to the base of the hill, but has turned
back into tho plain and left a deposit
of rich soli that'is covered wlthftrain,
breast high as we plough through
it on our donkeys, aud of the most
brilliant green. As we threaded
palm gloves and hailed each other
over the grain that was toasiug in
the wind and rolling green billows
from end to end aeroiS the broad
fields, we were cautioned by our con
siderate donkey-boys to keep n dis
creet silence, ns this district is infest
ed by Bedouin brigands. Ui> ono
of the lonely gorges of tho hills wo
actually saw the black tents of tho
tribe, but no one sought to molest us.
The grottoes of Beui Hassan are,
next to tho Pyramids, the oldest
knowu monuments in Egypt. The
fact scarcely suggests itself as you
enter these chambers hewn out of the
solid rock, plastered and elaborately
frescoed. The colors are as bright
to-day as they were when the artist--
who, by the way, has been mummi
fied these fifty centuries—concluded
his contract. On a background of
the most delicate shades of green arc
infinite multitudes of figures por
traying all the manners aud customs
of that ancient life. Even then there
must have been dwellings of preten
tious architecture; for they are imi
tated here. Here stand columns hewn
out of the living rook in the earliest
Egyptian style. Naturally they are
copies from nature—the stalks of
four water plants bound together and
crowned with lotus or papyrus buds.
It is miraculous that any part of
these tombs is left, save the bare hol
low, inasmuch as the painting may
be easily effaced, tho plaster removed
in slices, and the rock itself cut with
the blade of a penknife.
The majority of the temples of
Egypt stand so near tho Nile shore
that they are plainly visible from the
deck of our ciahabeeh. At morning
or at evening we see a superb monu
ment in the dim distance. If the
wind is fair wo draw rapidly toward
it, and in an hour or two we liud the
Nitetis running up to the nearest
point from which the temple may be
visited. Two or three of the sailors
leap ashore, drive in or portable
stakes and make fast. After this feat
they usually squat on tho bank in a
row, light their cigarettes,chat, sing,
wander off into the fields to gather
lentilos and eat them with a relish..
It is their playtime. It is our task,
for we at once begin preparing for
the explorations of the temples.
Usually we take donkeys to carry
us to the" site of the ruins. Too often
these little beasts are utterly unfit to
carry any burden. Their backs are
raw; their stirrupless saddles are tied
on with odd bits of cord, or perhaps
are merely balanced on the sharp
backsof tho unhappy -creatures, with
out any fastenings whatever. Over
dusty roads through broad fields of
grain, under palm groves and along
the edges of mud villages we crouch
in the heat of the sun and reach, at
last, with unfeigned joy, the propy
lon. >
It was not yet sunrise when we
came to the gates o£ Edfoo, one of
the best preserved temples of the
Nile; the air was stall fresh, for these
nights are deliciously cool. The great
courts with their sculptured columns,
the numerous chambers sacred to the
ancient rites of the templcrworship.
the massive wall that encloses it; all
these unmarrcd relics ot a mighty
race impressed silence upon us, and
we paced reverently the immense
hall, where we appeared ridiculously
small in comparison. Our torches
brought out the color that still on
livens the sculpture, though much of
that color, and even some of the
sculpturing, has been obliterated by
the thick siqokc of the innumerable
torches that have been burned here
for generations past. Leaning from
the lofty capital of the eastern pylon
the prospect was glorious : the tem
ple court beneath us; flocks of doves
darting to and fro among the col
umos of the court, showing us their
pale blue backs; the green lawns soft
as velvet stretching to tho amber Nile
on the one hand and tho desert hills
on the other; the village with its
open houses, half of them unroofed,
or only partly thatched with palm
boughs, all huddled close together
under the high walls of tho temple.
When the suu rose this village came
to life, and there was a chorus of
backsheesh raised by a multitude of
baby Arabs, who danced boisterously
and cried to us incessantly.
The town of Keneh, with its fam
ous water jars, lies opposite Deode
rah, a temple perfect, like that at
Edfoo, though smaller. It has once
been buried, and is still so deep in
the soil that you can touch the capi
tals as you walk around the outer
wall, and to enter the temple is like
descending into an enormous cellar.
It is only atDenderah and Edfoo that
I have been able to realize anything
of the life of these temples. They
are so utterly dead, so cruelly ruined,
and their age is so inconceivable that
I iind myself wandering about them
in a state of utter disbelief.
At Esneh a temple stands in the
midst of a squalid village and is bur
ied to the roof in earth. One grows
indifferent to ruins that are not im
pressive in a land that has so great a
storeof the wonderful. Esneh, there
fore, half covered with mud huts third
hang upon it like wasps’ nests, was
rather disappointing, and we loung
ed through the village. Tho 'sun
was intensely hot, the air Ailed
with dust, and the day a ner
vous one. Even the ghawnzers. who
have given fame to the village,
fail now to attract. The bazaars were
faintly perfumed with rose ottar;
naked children, with distended
stomachs, followed us through the
narrow, filthy streets, begging, and
when we turned on them they fled in
confusion. We paused at an open
door for a rEjoment.. Pour women*
crouched in a Jonelv’room, Waiting
for the dead. AH but one of these
mourners ceased as we approached
and turned tearful eyes upon U3.
Then they stretched forth a hand
and murmured "BacksheeshJ” Their
jaws were dropped, and they looked
the picture of despair; but whispered
“Backsheesh.” The fourth woman
was bowed down in the corner with
her forehead turned to the wall. She
took not the slightest notice of us.
There was surely some truth in her
sorrow. After dark we drirted away
from Esneh, while its black profile
was outlined against the west,
dotted with a few twinkling lights.
The FALL FASHION PLATES dis
play many handsome STYLES, which I
am now making up to order. Merchants
dealing in CLOTHS and CASSIMERES
are now opening a handsome line of these
goods. Offering the best exertions, I ex
pect to please even the most fastidious in
execution and in promptness.
CUTTING and REPAIRING will receive
strict attention.

This incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents tho Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth; eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try It
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Soc’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church flouth.]
Richwonjj, July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
eve# used which ban removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the olor.*

I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev

dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving

The following is j*i extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams aud occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits oi peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It ia certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, Jn an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of tho Western prairies. We found some
of tho oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover tho cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms ofancieut shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as tb€> farmer desires to
cultivate. ____ ___
