In nil interesting and extraordi narily complete collection of an cient Fgyptian amulets which has just been plaeed -on exhibition in the Brooklyn Institute Museum are some works of art which would do credit to the most skillful of our modern sculptors. When it is con sidered that many of these were made as early as H,00( B. ('.Be fore even Abraham was born one cannot but wonder w hat sort of ci vilization ;must have exhisted in those days. There is the face of a lioness carved in stone that would do credit to Barye, there are tiny bronze (figures of Isis, Osiris aud Horus that are as perfect in their Dronortions and as strong in their conception as any of the master pieces of Rodin ; there are alligators, turtles, cats and other animals which resemble nothing so much as the best work of the Japanese, aud there are carved jades and tnr quoises, which Boutet de Monvel or any of the present day designers of lewelrv in cans might take an their models. In arranging this probably unique collection Prof. W. II Goodyear wisely placed in the very center of one of the cases a pair of the chisels with which such carv ings were made, chisels that are 8,000 years old and they are made of copper! The metallurgist of to day who could so temper copper as to make a chisel of it would not onlv earn a fortune but would hand its name down to posterity along side of Bessemer, vet he would but be reviving an art which was commouplace one to these ancient Egyptians, and probably to the an cnstors of our own American In dians. Credit and Idleness. 1 Preachers who read the news papers carefully will once in awhile run across a good subject for a ser mon, not to eay a good sermon in itself. Here we find the Newbern Journal giving out some sound talk on credit and idleness, that paper holding that one begets the other, "Take the cigar, fruit and soft diink trade," itsays: "Go to any stand, almost, and see how much the book account is compared to the cash payments. A single cigar, a few apples, a soda fountain drink an ice cream, live cents each, not more than ten cents, 'please charge.' Any merchant doing business knows that it is just as hard to collect the accumulated accounts of cigars, fruit, candy, soft drinks amounting to fifty cents, as it is to collect for a suit of clothes." The Journal suggests t hat the cash register he made the feature, the clerk to make the sale, and as only the register shows the receipt of the nickels aud dimes, then how many young boys and men will be hanging about the stores where now the proprietor has no nerve to refuse to hand out the cigarettes, cigars or soft drinks, and "charge" them which he knows means indefinite payment Our Newbern contemporary thinks that if the credit system is cut out, "the idle boys will have to work for their cigarettes, and many a man will get to steady work and pay for his own and his family wants, instead of dodging from store to store, and actually prey ing upon retail merchants, by run ning accounts, that never will be paid." That is good logic. The more active the cash register, the less idleness will be observed in our towns. Loafers and credit go together and that is one of the greatest of all the evils attending the credit svstem. Charlotte Chronicle.

George Coulter, colored, who drives for the Lincoln Livery stable is a great 'possum hunter and he and his two dogs are in great demand with the "white folks" when they want to go 'opos sum hunting, and he lias been out on numerous hunts this fall with good success usually, but there was one section in which he failed to get his game, notwithstanding that every time he went there the dogs ran old Mr. 'Opossum but the sly old fellow had his den in a hole under a big tree where he could not be dug out. The other night George went out with both dogs and tying one dog at the root of the tree he circled around and let the other dog strike tha trail of the old fellow who as usual headed for his den and when George got there the dog that he had tied had killed the 'possum, and they say George laid down on the ground and rolled and laughed and hollowed for half an hour over how he had outwitted the old fel low.
