turn st is.i MhtM M-MumifWi i 8 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY OCTOBER 30, 1866. INTKRESTING ITEMS. A Study of Egyptian Briokt.rrofoflsor Uneer, the VIcnnfFe Lolnnif-t and palirontolaelflt., has recently published some remarks on tlie bricks f the ancient Kpyptiau", especially those ol the fiyramid of Dasbonr, which wau built about bree thousand lour hundred years before our era. One ct' them Icimr examined through the Biicroncopf by the professor, he discovered that .the mad of the Nile, out of which it was made, contained not only a quantity of animal-vegetable matter, but also fruetments of many mnnu lactnrcd substanceH, whence wo may conclude that ftfrjpt must have enjojed a hijfli decree of civilization upwards of five thousand jears hro. Professor Unger has been enabled, by the aid of the microscope, to discover In these brlckb a vast number of plants which at that time grew in Ecypt. The chopped straw clearly discern able In the body of the bricks confirms the description of the manner of making the latter, euch os we llnd In Herodotus and in the Book of Exodus. An Indian Curiosity Among the Oriental curiosities in the Loan Exhibition at .Southamp ton, England, is an olliclal danger of a Hindoo bard, the property of Mr. Tennyson. The fol lowing curious statement has been aflixert to it by the poet: ,-In Guzcratare a number of petty chiefs called Tnakoors, whose condition some what resembles that of the old Highland chief tains of Scotland, or did so a lew years ago. Each chieltain had bis family bard, who wis also the family historian. These bards were called Bhals, Barotes, Bharuts, or Charuns. No treaty or marriage settlement was complete unless countersigned by the bards of the re spective lam i lies, whose signature was a ru le representation of the kutha, or dagger, worn by them. These daggers were often heirlooms, and by no means easy to get. This one belonged to the family of Bha, or Charun, of Veerauga mm , a town about torty miles lrom Ahmonda bad, In Guzerat, Presidency of Bombay." Town Population of Russia. According to a statistical paper just published, Ruusia (not in cluding Poland) contains at present 414 towns, each with upwards ol 5000 inhabitants; '207 with from 6H)0 to 10,000; 01 taving from 10,000 to 30.000; thirty up to 30.000; seven up to 40,000: six up to 60,000; three of between 50,000 and 60,000; seven ot between 00,000 and 80,000; one ot between 80,000 and 100.000. Three cities only nave populations uoove luo.uoo; they are Odessa, the chief port on the Black Sea, with 119,000; Moscow, the ancient capital, with 325,000; and 8t. Petersburg, the preseut capital, which numbers 640,000. Altogether, 775 towns and cities, giving a total of 6,873,720 inhabit ants. A Model Huntsman. A French paper publishes the following anecdote concerning the Emperor of Austria while out shooting: "His Majeety is always attended by a Caplain of the Guards, whose duty It is to observe the effect of each shot and announce it. The Emperor, for in stance, strikes a partridge. 'Partridge 1' cries the captain. Next time it is a buck. 'Buck 1' shouts the captain. One day the Emperor tired, missed bis game, and wounded one of the gen tlemen of his suite.-, The latter, on being struck, Tittered an exclamation. 'His Highiiees the Dnkeof Hackeubergl' announced the captain, without the slightest change of feature or tone." A Chemist's Discovnry. An Austrian chemist, M. Lcinelbrock, has discovered a way of enclos ing electricity in small glass capsules which will explode under the slightest shock. The capsule lo enclosed in a steel cone, so thnt if shot from a rifle it will enter the flesh, an 1 the explosion which follows is sufficient to kill a man. Experiments have been made on oxen and horses with perfect success, these animals having lallen down as if struck with lightning. A Horse Jockey Caught. A curious horse case has been tried in Paris. Count Edgar de Pras lin lately bought a hack of Tony Moutel, (he well-known Champs Elysees dealer, for 140, put the next day, when its hools were wa-hed. It was found that they were lull of holes and creases, which bad been cleverly plugged with tar and caoutchouc, and then finished oil' wita black varnish. Montel unsuccessfully pleaded the usage ot the trade. He was sentenced to take the horse back, refund its price, and pay all the expenses and costs ot the suit. Curious Relics at High Frizes The ivory arm chair presented Dy the city of Lu beet touus tavns Vasa was sold In 1825 to M. Schinkol, a chamberlain of the King of Sweden, for 120,000 francs; the prayer book used bv Charles I ot England on the scaffold fetched 2500 francs; the coat worn by Charle9 XII at the battle of Pul towawas sold in Edinburgh for 501,000 francs; and in 1816, Lord Schwarterbury gave 16,695 francs for a tooth of Newton, which is now set in a ring and worn by the eldest branch of that family. A Witness Rejected In a London police court, not long since, a witness about to be sworn said that if he kissed the book he should feel bound to speak the truth; but he did not believe in the doctrine of lutnre rewards and punishment according to the sense in which men ordinarily undex stood it. He did not be lieve he should be punished in a future state if lie did not speak the truth. The Justice de clined to administer the oath to a man enter taining such opinions, "and his evidence was not received. A Good Suggestion. "A Travelled Parson" , writes to an English paper: "In some parts of Germany every bottle containing poison is labelled with a death's head and cross-bon)s, as black as printer's ink can paint them. Every parcel of poisonous medicine sent to the patient baa a similar label over the address. Pray help me to urge upon our chemists and druggists the adoption of this very simple method, which is plainly within the comprehension of the dullest boy that ever handled a pestle and mortar." The Irish Emigration. The emigration from the South ol Ireland, partially suspended during the harvest, is revlvine. The Cork Exa miner remarks that "a considerable portion of the emigration takes place through prepaid tickets, the friends of parties in America paying their passage-money there, and during the past month the number of prepaid passages has greatly increased. This shows the great anxiety of the Irish in America to have their country men out there." A Prosperous Paruh. At a recent meeting of the rate-payers of the parish of St. Mary Stain ing, Wood street, London, it was stated by one t the almoners of the bequest of Henry John ?wi' w.sftyer' wno died eleven years since, n)!e ,QiMueB of 100 sterling to six per inn th,Varih. that the trustees had in hand 100 78. lid., which they could not distribute rumors, which'jf a7 Tom certain don, he is forced to VcTuTeri;ehnt la Lon; gambling is once moreT.'Jf t1 the vice of Sot in the professional 'JlLe, its ; way and conducted by those whose IkS, i,ui1tiatd tion appears to suggest to them noB0ltl1 Psl thelr proceedings." 14111(5 for Eugenie Fulfils a Vow. The Paris jouru.. . announce that the Empress Eugenie has placed In the Church de Notre Dame des Yictoires a magnificent lamp, bearing the initials, L. N., which is to burn perpetually before the high altar. It is a present to which is said to be at tached a vow relative to her family. Lucky. A foreign paper relates that, when passing through Baden-Baden, on his way to Biarritz, Count Karolyi, the Austrian diploma tist, went Into the gambling-rooms, and placed stone money at random on a number of the roulette. Presently be was informed that he bad won 70,000 floriaa.. A Thief's Suicide. A suicide ot a curious de scription has been committed by a French thief, who rejoiced in the soubriquet of Pompette. He had failed in an attempt on an Iron safe, and cither disgusted with his clumsiness or his lm ple aunts, he hanged himself on a tree. A llnanelal Item.
