brought from the treasury. He then eptered

..All prostrated themselves beihre the aspect of
the king, who conducted Semiramis to the

compliments, and asked her how efie find man

•While they wore prom 'my me,'
said Semiramis, •I waathinl I should

'Let the oecretati of the King approach-ivy

this was my motive. I have vengeance to axe

'Vengeance, and wherefore? ,
'The first, the governor of the citadel, is one

the second, the chief of the slaves, I hate bp
cause ho threatens me with rivals; the third,
the general of the" army, deprives me too 'often
of your company; you are constantly in the-
camp.'
This 'reply, in which caprice and flattery
;Were mingled, enchanted Ninus.
,'Good, said In, laughing. Here are the three
first officers of the empire dismissed for very
sufficientreasons ' -
,The gentlemen, of the ocourt now, , came to
present their gifts to the queen. 'Some gave
precious stones, other of lower rank, flowers
and fruits, - and - the' slaves - having - nothing to
give, gave nothing: Among,44se Test Were
three .young young brothers, who had come
from the Caucasus with Semiramis, and 'had
rescued the coraian, in which the women were,
from
, ati enormous tiger. When they phased
the throne. ---
'And you,' said she to the three - brothers,
'have you-no present to make your queen?'
'No

'None other,' replied the second, Artaban,
'than nay sabre against her enemies. ,
'Non o er,i replied the third Assarf,-;-'than
the respect admiration which her pros encle
inspires.'
'Slaves,' said Semiramis, 'it is you who have
madanic , the most valuable-presents oetho
whole court, and I will not be ungrateful. You
who. have offered me your sword against my
onimies, take this ord'er, carry it toile general
of the army, encamped under the walls of Bab-'
ylon t give' it to him, and se,e what he will do for
you. You who bare offered me your life for
mydefence, take this or ar to the governor of
the citadel, and-see what he will do for you.—
And you, who offia me. therespect and admira•
lion whiehany pretence inspires, take-this Order
to the eUmmandant of the palace, and see what
will be the-result.
- Never had Semiramis ,displayed so much'
gaiety, so much folly, and so much grace, and
never was Ninus so captivated: Nor were tier
charms lessened 'in his eyes, when a.alave not
having executed' properly an insignificant or ,
,der, she cuMmMided his head to he struck off,
which wait immediately done..
• Without bestowing a thdbght on this trivial
matter, Ninus still continued to converse , with
'Semirardis till the evening unit the file arrived.

When she ntered the . salmin, which 'had Wien
prepared fo he occasion, a slava brought her
a plele-I which was the head of the deeapita

OPENING OF AN EGYPTIAN MUMMY.
IntereMlng Ceremony nelloston
Mr. dliddon 'coMnienced on Monday fore
noon, the opening Of thO famous Thebicu mum
my, at Boston, in the preeenee of -a highly sci
entific and intelligent auditory, a large portion
of which consisted of ladies, of course. The
lecture given by Mr. Glidden during-the pirt
cees,was exceedingly Interesting - to the audi
ence: The Transcript gives -the following in
teresting account - of the ceremony of-the open
ing of tho Mummy :
Tho case of Elio:emote, wood, ormiiiiint4
with Ityeroglyphici, :was placed horizontally,
upon a stand, and while Mr.G.disedureed.upan
the Nile and the pyramids of the Giza and the
receptacles where the mummies were found, an
officiating carpenter took off hie coat, and with
a email saw, proceeded to saw the case length
-wise. After-this had-been done-on—two—sides
an 'occupation whiSh lasted about halt an hour ,
..
it wan ready to bl taktut . twart for the diselo
mitre of what it might - contain; Thin was done
by Mr. G. and hixassistant, in view of the whole
audience. The-mummy-came Dot in beautiful
condition, as if it had been deposited in its case
but yesterday, instead of 14500 years before the
-bifth of Christ: It came out sivathedgin linen,
smooth and but slightly discolored bj the lapse
of time. On the front devering were'a series
of hieroglyphics of a fresh elate color, as dis
tinct as if they:had,iust.been,prieted... : , : AdTrat
of applause and a murmur of surprise from the
audience, eltowad the sensation which the ex
hibition_ produced.
As the lady thus brought before the public
was, according to the inscription on her mar,
cophagus, a person of rank, and the daughtir
of a high priest, it woe naturally expected that
the interior of the case, (which by the way,
was in a wonderful state of preaervation,)would
reveal some ornaments, jewelry. trinkets, &c.,
of v.lue. Ilut this expectation has. not thus
far been gratietl. - — Probably the - fold;
ings, whiCh-vallihint be disturbed till Wednes
day, will revel some curiosities of this nature,
as well as "some specimens of papyra, and •
' , Scars Mous" or Papyrucof the_tlead usually
deposited with the Egyptian dead.. The audi
ence
.seemed highly jnterested, and 'we doubt
not that the seconetlecture on -Wednesday will
show-an increased attendance:
Tn taking it from the outer box, there was
an adherence ill consequenoe of the pouring of
hot pitch over the inner box. Thie inner box,
near the elittpe of the human body, wee origi
nally" painted.end gilded, and contained upon it
the name of the pirrson, with die family to
which she . Whinged. The bitumen had parti
ally obscured the name, but from what was
sesn.it was'ascertained that she balougnti to
ths,TiMbian aristocracy. So much of the name
,as was distinguished -signified
Th . e age of tnum.mies Mr. Glidden ,aid, could
be deterined by the style in which they were
embalmed. The oldest mummy now known:
was that of. the builder of the Ild pyrainid
5000 years ago, which was now in the posses.
sion of the British Museum: Up to the 1..)2d
century before Christ, or about the time of A
braham, woolen cloth vras used, which was ex
changed for linen. About this time the square,
coffin wee changed'to the oval style, Mid inthe
15th century before Christ, the smearing with
bitumen or pitch, was and practiced. Bitumen
is supposed to have been brought from the
bitnka of the Euphrates, and to have been in
troduced Mier the Askyrian r conquesti.-
Mr. Gliddon exhibited •the skull of a girl,
from the collection of Pr. Horton, of Philadsl:
phis, also a skull and foot :to show the differ
ence in the two periods of embalthing. The
foot, which was t hat of a, woman and very
email, he Supposed belonged to tome ono who
lived twen ty.two centuries before the Christian'
era. I ,He had also in glass cases, an embalmed
sacred 'calf from Memphis, tram from Thebes,
a cat, jackal'', seiftente, crocodiles, and the ibis.
Ot this last, he mild, there ware two styles in
which they were embalmed; one at Memphis
.a . nd the other at Thohemi -- In the former noth
ing was found but bones, deist and a few Oath
ars. Prof. Agessi , x,idesired the lecturer to say.
ai lie exhibited it to the andience,Aliat it Mai
the kind kfown as that of the greatest antiqui
ty. It was also observed by Prof. Agassiz that
the bandages upon this ibis were all in anima
•
pikes.. •
Tire mummies of this ibis were, taken , fre,.
a r p4 near Memphis, of great depth. Many
crocAilei were nitro embalmed, and ono of four
or five feet in length was exhibited to the RIP!
disnce. Mr. Glidden supposes, there were n di
lions of these kinds of mummies ; he said he
had seed the crocediles of a sizu lust after cool
ing from the egg tb that of lfeet in length.,
The seining of the box now being completed,
it was turned upon the back and. the upper
p'art wee taken up. A. the bandaged mummy
Wee. brought, to view, it was received with
Omuta by the audience. Mr. Glidden said It
would be unrolled on Wednesday, when thO
trinkete and other intiolea which should be
brought to light, would bo placed in a"glass
case for exhibition, and on Friday a report
would be mido upon them.
The mummy tee then taken from , the box
and placed upon its , feet, when the lecture
closed and the audience were

ted the sex of the mummy, and for a moment ',
doubt was thrown upon the accuracy of Mr.
Glidden's reading of the hieroglyphical inscrip
tion. But this doubt was soon expelled by oim
of the most distinguishedsof ouritnat omi cal pre :
lessors; who very satisfactorily showed that the
potation 'of the liand.had led to the erroneous
euppoeition invalidating Mr. Gliddon'a state

resinous dtiet.-.was raised; which set many of
the audience to sneezing. The mummy bav-•
