What Is true of pin oak is true of red elm. If tut in August it is as durable as hickory pr white oak, as long as it is not set in or on the ground. White elm is fit for firewood only, no matter at what time it is cut, and this is true of wild cherry also With but few exceptions the gain by cutting in August is sufficient to com pensategfor euttmg at that time. : it it not necessary that, the rails or posts be split out then. Tho, trees may be felled only, and the further work be put on until cooler weather. But it is better to split the trunks into rails or posts for later use as soon a felled; the wood will then season rapidly and the highest point of durability is attained. ". The reign of lace ssems to be as uni versal as ever, and the handsomest dresses now worn at the various water ing places are made of these exquisite fabrics, much of the lace showing de signs as delicate and fragile as the rich est thread patterns, so great have been tie imcrovim uts made in fancy laces woven bv machinery. Next in popular itv are the toilets of mousselaine de s ie, or silk muslin, and India gacze, in wonderfully delicate and lovely tim ings. Some of the newest toilets worn at Newport and Saratoga, are male with the princesse effect, I but supplemented by a loose Grecian drapery beginning on the right shoulder, crossing the bod ice diagonally in a graceful curve, and fastening low on the left hip,-where tho f .illness thus made'mingles with the dra peries of the skirt. One charming toi let of this description was alow-cut prince sie 'dress of hedge-rose pink moire, draped in the manner above described, with a cloud of palest sea-shell pink Indian gauze.' The texturo of this ideal fabric was so soft and flexible as to give the effect of , clinging to the figu" e a Ia Grecq ie, a style very becoming to certain graceful formp. A second dress was of milk-white mousselaine de soie mounted on a princesse slip of white faille Francais. White velvet roses held the draperies on the left hip, and also famished the right shoulder of the odico where the airy folds began. ANAjRCHISTS EXITEDISGLT AIIKOUANT TKIAL AT CniCtUO.

But if any thing does happen ther.e are thousands ready to tear their oppressors to pieees." It was decided that assistant State's at torney Walker should? open the argu ment, Mr. Zeiglerr of the defence, to follow; to be succeeded by Lingham for the prosecution, Foster and Black for the defence, and Grinol to close for the State, in the order nafied.

A gen tleman who . is an extensive tobacco planter in Calvert county states that there will only be half a crop in that and the other Maryland tobacoo grow ing counties of Anne Arundel, St. Mary s, Stephens Vrrinoe George s and Montgomery.- The failure is attributed to the almost incessant and heavy rains that have occurred during the sum mer season. Last year's crop, which is now being - shipped to Balti more, is up to the; general avcrrge of 70,000 hogsheads. I lhe pnoes realized, however, the gentleman stated, are twenty-five per cent less than in pre vious years.

HU Wark la MINUTE DETAILS OF TBB CONDITION OF THB MUMMT OF RAMISES II. London Times. Tho foil" viDg is a verbatim transla tion ot Prof. Maspero's last official re port as director general of the excava tions and antiquitiri of Egypt, dated June 3, his resignation having been tendered June 5: Boclak, June 3, 1886. The year 1886, the 1st day of June, corresponding with the 28th day of Sha'ban, in the year 1303 of the Hegira, at 9 .o clock in the morning. MM. Gaston Maspero, director gen eral of the excavations and antiquities of Egypt; Emil Brugsch Bey,? keeper, and TIrbin Ron riant, assistant a-pncr nf the museum of Boulak, proceeded, in the tho. hall called "The Hall of Royal Mummies," to unbandage; those two mummies which, in the printed cata logue, are numbered 5,229 and 5,233, both .being among those discovered in the subterraneous hiding place at Dayr- el-Bahari., ; The mummy (No. 5,233) first taken out from its glass case is that of Ram- sscs II, Sasostris, as testified by the of- ncial entries bearing date the sixth and sixteenth years of the reign of the High Priest Hef-hor Se-Amen, and the High Priest Pinotem I, written in black ink upon the lid of the wooden mummy case, and the further entry of the six teenth year of the High Priest Pinotem 1, written upon the outer winding sheet of the mummy, over the region of the breast. The presence of this last inscrip tion haying been verified by his High ness the Khedive and by the illustri ous personages there assembled, the first wrapping was removed and there were successively discovered, a band of stuff (sic) 20 centimeters in width, rolled round the body; then a second winding sheet Bewn up and kept in place by nar row bands placed at some distance apart; then two thicknesses of small bandages, and then a pieoe of fine linen reaching from the hei.d to the feet. A figure rep resenting tne uoaaess nut, a meter in length, is drawn upon this pieoe of lin enin red and white, as prescribed by the ritual. The profile of the goddess is unmistakably designed after the pure and delicate prohle oi Beti l, as he is known to us in the bas-relief sculptures of Thebes and Abydos. Under this amulet there was found another bandage, then a layer of pieces of linen folded in squares and spotted with the bituminous matter used by the embalmers. lhis last cov ering removed, Rameses H appeared 1 he bead is long, and Bmall in propor tion to tho body. The top of the skull is quite bare On the temples there are a few spar-e hairs, but at the poll the hair i quite thick, forming smooth, straight looks about five oentimeters in length White at the tune of death, they have been dyed a light yellow by the spices used in embalmment. The forehead is low and narrow, the brow- ri'lge prominent; the eyebrows are thick and white; the eyes are small and close together; the nose is long, thin, hooked' like the noses of the Bourbons, and slightly crushed at the tip by the pressure of the bandages. The temples are sunken; the cheek bones very promi nent; the ears round, standing far out from the head, and pierced like those of a woman, for the wearing of earrings. The jawbone is massive and strong; the chin very prominent; the mouth small, but thick-lipped, and full of some kind of black paste. This paste being ! partly cut away with the scissors, disolosed some muoh worn and very brittle teeth, which, moreover, aro white and well- preserved. The mustache and beard are thin. They seem to have been kept shaven during life, but were probably allowed to grow during the Kings last illness, or they may have grown after death. The hairs are white, like those of the head and eyeblows, but are harsh and bristly, and from '.wo or three mull metres in length. The 6k in h of earthy brown, splotcl ed with black. Fi nally, it may be sai mummy gives a fair the living King. T ihteilectuaM perhar the face of the lea of tho face3 of e expression is un- Blightly animal, but even under the Somewhat grotesque disguise of mummification thvre is plain ly to be seen an air of sovereign majes ty, of resolve and of pride. The rest of the body is as well preserved as the head, but in consequence ot the re- I d action of ho tissues its external aspect is loss lifelike, lhe neck is no thicker than the vertebral oolumn. The chest is bread, the shoulders are square, the arms are crossed upon the breast, the hands are email and dyed with henna, and a wound in the left side 'through which the embalmers extracted the vis cera is lar?e and open. The lees and thighs are fieshless, the feet are long, i i somewhat natsoled, and dyed, l5ke nandB with henna. . The eorpso is that of an old man, but of a vigorous and roDust old man. w e know, indeed, tnat Rameses II reigned for sixty-seven years, and that he must have been nearly one hundred years old when he . . i a died. Ths un bandaging or the mummy of Rameses II took leas than one- quarter of an hour. After a short pause of a few moments, at precisely 0.50, the mummy numbered 0,229 was, in its turn, removed from its glass case It was discovered in the great aaroopha- gus numbered 5,247, whioh also con tained another mummy in a very dirty and tattered condition. As this sarco phagus bore the name of Nofretari, tho wife of King Ahmes I of the eighteenth dynasty, it has been taken for granted that No. 5,229 was the mummy of this Queen. The other mummy is supposed y. f-v a f hat yT a n m A nn rn Ararvi ; i. a I i 71 - a V e V . who had been laid beside Nofretari by the priests employed to oonoeal the roy al mummies in , ' . l ... . - el-Bab ari. Consigned to the museum stores, the mummy decayed and gave out bo foul an odor that it became nec essary to get rid of it. It was accord- .y opened, and proved to have been bandaged very carefully; but the body was no sooner exposed to the outer air than- it fell literally into a state of putre faction, dissolving into black matter which gave oat an unaupportable smell. It was, however, ascertained to b.e the corpse of a woman of mature age and middle height, belonging to tho white race of mankind. There was no trace of writing on the bandages, but a small strip of linen was discovered in the sarco phagus. JNo. b,247 was decorated wr-h a scene of adoration of King Rameses HI, in the likeness of two forms of Amen. A short legend, written partly in in cursive hieroglyphs and partly in hie ratic, states that the pieoe ef linen thus decorated was hegvft of the head laun dress of the royal household, and it was accordingly supposed that the anonj nious mummy was one of the many5 sisters, wives or daughters of Rameses ' III. The mummy No. 5,229 was very neatly wrapped in orange-colored linen, kept in place by small strips of ordinary linen. There was no outer inscription, bat upon the head was a linen band cov ered with mystical figures. MM. Maspero here reminded his Highness the Khedive that Nofretari is represented upon certain monuments as of a black complexion, while upon other monuments she is seen with a yel low skin and with the soft hair of an Egyptian woman. Hence there have arisen innumerable discussions among Egyptologists, some affirming that the Queen was a negreas, while others main tain that the black tint of her faco and body was a fiction originating with the priests. The worship of this Queen was extremely popular at Thebes, where she was deified under one of the forms of Ha- thor, the black goddess, the goddess of death and of the shades. The opening of the mummy, No- 5229, would, there fore, probable settle this historical ques- , tion for good an i all. ti. Maspero. Given at Boulak, June 3, 1886. MIRACULOUS ESCAPI. W. W.
