The fortunate finder of Noreratis has now been working upon a vast mound called Tell Defenneh, which his- torians have long identified with the Pelusiao Daphnm of the Greeks and the Tahpanhes of the Bible. Here he has discovered the ruins of that very palace to which, as recorded in the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, Johanan, the son of Kercah, followed by all the captains and the remnant of Judah, brought the fugi- tive daughters of Zedckiah, then a dethroned captive in Babylon. This flight of the He brew princesses took place ubout 585 B. C during the reign of Ua-ab-Ra, whom the He- brews called Hophra and the Greeks Apries, Pharaoh received the fugitives Kindly. To the mass of the Jewish immigrants he gave tracts of land, to the daughters of Zedekiah, his former ally, he assigned this royal palace, which the Bible calls “Pharaoh’s House in Tahpanhes.” lh CASTLE OF THE JEW'S DAUGHTER gh this part of the delta is now a wilderness, half marsh, half desert, over 1 no traveler ever passes, it was at the n these ev : a rich pas- 3 ——————— 1thou B B : attached the name of the Castle of the Jew's Daughter Hearing this from his natives Mr. Petrie at once perceived the interest which must attach to the place, and the intelligent labor which he has bestowed upon it has met with a suit- able reward. Not only the architectural structure, but its history also has been scued from oblivion, The building was quadrangular, lof like keop.

A sword Bandle, some scale armor, bronze rings, amulets, beads, seals, and especially two rings, engraved with the titles of a priest of Amen, have been found and many small tablets with inscriptions. Mr. Petrio has looked diligently for the stones which Jeremiah hid among the brick work, and some unhewn stones have been dug out from below the surface, but to identify them positively would, of course, be impos- sible, unless the prophet had previously in- scribed them, which is unlikely. Egyptian inscriptions say that Nebuchadnezzar did coma to Tahpanhes, and spread cut his pavilion that very spot, as foretold in Jeremiah's prophecy, but they say that he was defeated. Dabylonian inscriptions stato that he conquered, and the truth is hard to determine. Philadelphia Times, of to SOOTHES on Author of “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” Mra. Harriet Beecher Btowe has announced to her intimate friends her permanent retire ment from the literary world, The author of “Unelo Tom's Cabin” is no longer the strong woman of a few years ago, her constant watching by the bedside of her dying husband having practically shattered her health, as it has reduced the robust physical frame to merely a skeleton. For more than eighteen months, with scarcely an foterruption, has tho affectionate wife remained at her hus band’s side reading and singing to him as he lingers through the days and nights waiting for the end that is not far off. Mrs. Stowe is 75 years of age, and although she retainsa lively interest in current events in order that sho may gratify the desires of her invalid husband, the famous writer Is content that her work is done. The returns from her works have fortunately placed her in com- fortable circumstances.—Boston Transcript.

GIRL. = Eow Sho Enjoys Lifo=The Sagacious Cale ~ ored Man of the Capital. ¥ Tho Washington summer girl appears with the June bug and disappears when the first cold wave banishes the other ephemera. You pever see her in winter; no hothouse exotio is tho, gracing the germans or teas of swelldom, put a blossom nevertheless, Youn see her in the morning strolling parkward, novel in hand, a vision of lawn and ribbon and lace, with the demurest of faces in the shade of the broad-brimmed hat; yet as you pass you catch a flash of a roguish eye; they aro mis. chievous. these summer girls in a Washington park. At noon you miss her from the high- way; the glare st wnds not in her complexions favor. But as the sun sinks low behind the Georgetown spires, and a benevolent wind gambols up from the Chesapeake to fan the city, the summer girls come agnin from sheir lair, daintier and more dangerous than ever— all st gizes and ages, fat and skimpy, and short, red-headed, blonde and brune, from gawky 13 to kittenish 30-—every blessed one of them in a white dress tied with a satin sash, and carrying a red or a yellow parasol. Every park and public square swarms with them, and Connecticut avenue is a living river of reckless flirtation from half an hour after the treasury has broken until the y« moon swings her burnished crescent fi chatelaine of stars, Then the darkic session of the squares, and are rabbits in the shrubbery, The Washington darky is a cross between the plantation species and the variety which infests Saratoga.

Under the windows, between the doorways, there are broad Inde, which appear like cool and in. viting seats. The poeumatie tubes, which run from this point to the Western Union building down town, roquire steam for their operation, and from the boilers under the building, placed there for this service, pipes Lave been run beneath these iron lodges, which nro constantly kept In a high degree of head.
