The brightest roses seem to bloom
Adown its vistas green:

While every wild wind seems. to speak,
"How beautiful is earth."
But when we reach those days "to come,"
Those flowers that seem ao fair,
Alas! we find but withered leaves,
A miracle in the air.
Those horses where lappy hearts should dwell,
Are lone and silent all,

tsolomen's Throne .
The following account of this remarkable
piece of mechanism-purports to be taken from
the Persian manuscript, called "The history
of Jerusalem :"
The sides of it were of pure gold, the feet
of emeralds and rubies intermixed with pearls
each of which were as large as an ostrich's
egg . . The throne had seven sides, on each
side were delineated orchards full of trees,
the branches of.whicla were of precious stones
representing fruit, ripe and unripe,. s on the
tope of the trees were to be seen figures of
plumage birds, particularly the peacock, the
ecauh and tcarges, All these birds STOre.hol
lowed within artificially, se as to oe'cassion
' ally utter melodious rounds, such as the ear
of mortal never heard. On the first step
were delineated vine branches having, bun
ches of grapes, composed of precious stones
of various kinds, faetioned in such a man
ner as to represent the various colors of pur
ple, violet, green and red, so as to render the
appearance of real fruit. On the second step
on each side of the throne, were two lions of'
terrible aspect, large as life, and formed of
cast gold.
The nature of Ibis remarkable throne was
such that when Solon/oil placed his- foot on
the first step, the birds spread their wings
and made a flUttOlint , noise in the air. On
his reaching the third step, the whole as
sembtage of demons, aed faries, and men, re
peated the praises ef the -Deity. When he
arrived at the fourth step, voices were'heard
addressing Elm iii tli - e • folic wing manner:
'Son of David, be thankful for the blessings
which the Almighty has bestowed upon us,'
The same was repeated en his reaching the
fifth step. On his reaching the sixth, all of
Israel joined them, and on his arrival at the
seventh, All the birds and animals became in
motion, and ceased not until he bad placed
himself on the royal scat; when the birds,
lions and other animals, by secret springs,
discharged a shower of the most precious
perfumes on Solomon, after which two of the
karges descended and placed the golden ;
crown upon has head.
Before the throne was a column of burn
istad gold, en the top of which was a gol
den dove, which held in its beak a volume
bound in silver. In this book were written
the Psalms of David, and the dove having
presented the book to the King, be read a
loud a portion of it to the children of Israel.
It is further related that on the approach of
evilepersoes to the throne, the lions • were
wont to set up a terrible roar, and to lash
their tails with violence, the birds also, and
the demons and genii to utter horrid cries,
so, for fear of them, no one dared to be guil
ty of falsehood, but all eoefessed their crimes
Such was the throne of Solomon, the son of
David.

A Visite to the Mummies
An American, now — traveling in Egypt,
had the curiosity to enter a cave used as a
sepulchre- for mummies "Imagine," says
he, "a vaulted chamber twenty five feet high,
cut in the heart of a-huge granite rack. In
this apartment, dimly lighted by rour two'
flickering tapers, filled almost to the roof,
was a countless piled mass of: uneoffined
natiiruniesi• Theie they lay in all shapes and
luestures. Time had burst the twining
ligaments of some, and their bony arms and
fleshless fingers seemed struggling up from
the mass, as if to lay hold of the disturbers
of their slumbers. Some .were placed up•
right against the walls, and in the weird
shadows thrown by the candle's light, their
features twitched and moved, and their long
sealed lips seemed opening to denounce us.
Our Arab guard drew a long knife hour the
sheath under his arm, and commenced cut
ting and tearing off the wrappings in search
of valuables; and, as his naked limbs sank
among the dry bones, and as his awarthe
arms tossed about the bodies, he looked like
some hideous vampire at his nightly meal.
The air was very bad, and I was about to
beat_a_retreat, _when suddenly- a -thought
flashed across my mind that almost froze my
.blood with horror. I ant not a coward, but
for a raiment my heart stood still. The cave
TYM filled with a thousand mummies. drier
that] tire - driest tinder, and - soaked in r u•
men, each one wrapped in many folds of
-- vmm - y - ; - t - tuth --- alvfluttysble as gun - o - o - on.
A single spark from one of the candles
would have spread like wildfire, and no
power upon earth could have raved us f tom
a fearful death. We won - Id — lia - Vc boeici
roasted alive in five minutes. I remarked
this to
guide
he saw it instantly, and yelled
to the to be careful of the light, while
I started for the opening. On I went,
-through - the - narrow --- litts - s - age, rettrki - knees
and garments against sharp stones, sh udder
ingly expecting each moment to lay my hatid
upon the slimy coils of serpents in the dark,
and every now and then sticking fast and
feeling (in imagination) the scorching breath
of the fire-fiend on my back. At last /

How tho IJyramids wore Built.
The stones were brought from the opposit
side of the valley of the Nile, twelve or fif
teen miles distance.-- The first work was to
build a giant-causewaror-road—over—lrl
to transport the atones. Herodetus says,
one hundred thousand men. were employed
ten years on this part of the work. After
this preparatory work came the leveling of
the rocky foundation, the cutting oat of the
subterranean chambers, and tho elevation of
the huge masses of stone. This work the
same writer says occupied three hundred and
sixty thousand men twenty year. These
men were drafted bythe tyrant sovereign,
ati ruen wore drafted in time of •war, each
levy serving a certain - number of mouths,
then others their places.
Such is the structure we have come to ex,
amirie, and which now stands before us in ali
its huge proportions. 11' hat an immense la
bor! Could these stones speak, what stories
of crushing despotism, of hardbanded slavish
servitude they would tell! But the hands
that toiled and the hearts that ached beneath
this despotic labor have long since crumbled
to dust. Centuries of oblivion have rolled
over their silent, and now unknown resting
places. But here stand the astonishing mon
uments of toil. Here they have stood for
thousands of years defying the hand of the
barbarian, the storms of the desert and the
lightnings of heaven. Their lofty heights
have looked down with proud contempt upon
the changes of time, the rise and fall of na
tions, and smiled upon the conflicts of human
passions, as conquering armies have come to
deluge with blood, and heap with carnage the
beautiful plains above which they lift their
lofty heads.
- Taking Cold
-- A cold is not necessarily the-resultolo-w2
or high temperature. A person may go
from a hot bath directly into a cold one, or
into snow oven, and not take cold. He may
remain out in the coldest atmosphero until
chilled through, and still not take cold.—
On the contrary, ho may take cold by pour
ing,a couple of tablespoonfuls of water upon
some patio of his dress, or by standing in a
door, or before a etove,•or by sitting near a
window or other opening, where one part of
the body is colder than another part. Lot
it be kept in mind that uniformity of tern•
peratwre over the whole body is the great
thinglo be looked after. It is the unequal
heat upon different parts of the body that
produces colds, by disturbing the uniform
circulation of he blood, which in turn in
duces congestion of some part. If you nisst
keep a partially wet garment on, it would
perhaps be as welt to wet the whole of it u
niformly. The feet are the great source of
colds, on account of the variable temperature
they are subjected to. Keep these always
dry and warm, and avoid draughts of air, hut
or cold, wet slots on the garrneiatp, and oili
er direct causes of unequal temperature, nail
keep the system braced up by plenty of sleep,
and the eschewing •of debilitating foods and
drinks, and you will be proof against a cold
and its results.

Genoa' Sher Adan's itepoit
After referring to his organization of the
military forces of the Department,- he pro: ,
needs to saythit "on •the,3crof March,
an Act entitled 'an Act to. pro - vide for : the
more efficient giiiirernmerit of the rebel States'
became a•law, - mrif be was assigned , to % the
command of the Fifth District comprising
the Stales oflionisiall'a and - Vey:ie."
* * * • *• .* * *
The report concludes as follows:
Assuming comiaand of the Fifth Military
District on the 19th of March,lB67, I found
upon examining the law that "was required
"to protect, all persons and property; to sup
press insurrection, disorder, and violence,
and to punish, or cause to be punished all
disturbers of the public peace and criminals."
To accomplish this purpose, and to reor-,
ganize these two States as loyal to the gov
ernMent' I bad a small military force add
the authority vested in me by the law. I
found, upon a close examination of the exiSt
ine, civil governments of those two States,
that nearly every civil fnnetionary, from the
Governor down, had been soldiers or alders
and abetors in tho rebellion, and that in
nearly all cases they - had - been ---- ele - ate - d — on
confederate grounds, and solely for services
rendered in their attempts to destroy the
General Government. In fact, many, if not
all, had advertised, when they were candi
mates, their services in this respect as a
meritorious appeal for votes. Liamad,_also,
Mat taey were nearly all disfranchised by
the law, and were substantially aliens.
It is scarcely neceessary to state that from
this condition of affairs nearly every own ()f
-ifth-or-Within my command was either opt,nly
or secretly opposed to the law, .and to my
self as the authority held responsible by the
order of the Executive of the nation for its
faithful execution. It Wag a difficult situa
tion in whia to he placed, rendered still
more so by the apparently open sympathy of
the President with the functionaries above
- alluded to. I make this remark, not as a
charge, Luc simply as an explanation. To
have attempted 'to protect all persons in their
rights of person and property, to suppress
insurrection, disorder and violence, and pun=
ish or cause to be punished all disturbers of
the public peace and criminals,' and reorgan
ize the States against all this power and in
fluence in accordance with the intentions of
the framers of the law without-e-x-orting the
right of removal, was simply absurd.
It would_laave
_taken years for military
-commiss i o ns-to hay e_tri e d_those_eases_o
elating of the law alone - that would have oc
curred in exact registration of the legal vo
ters of the States, There - was only one
course to pursue, and that was to remove ev
ery civel officer who did not faithfully exe
cute the law, or who put any impediment in
the way of its execution--and this course
was adopted. In pursuance of the same, I
decided to use the authority vested in me
as leniently as possible; to almost allow my.
self to be forced to the wall by open overt
acts before action- was taken; and in every
order issued the cause of removal was speci
fied. I had no desire to oppress and did not
do so. I cnly wished to give eccurity to all
good citizens, and did so, and insecurity to
all 'office-holders who failed to early out the
law, or who put impediments in the way of
reconstruction
I have been charged by the highest au
thotity in the nation with being tyrannical
and partisan, and I am not afraid to say,
when such charges are made against me,
that I feel in my heart they aro untruthful.
In all my dealings with the people of Louis
iana and Texas I was governed by honor,
justice and truth, no political influences or
interests were allowed to control ;my actions.
I carried out the law with satisfaction to all
except those whom it disfranchised and a set
of dishonest, political tricksters who I had
previously denounced, and who sought to.
make use of the law to Attain place and po
sition; and the whole system of reconstruc
tion was faithfully dad successfully pushed
forward to near its completion, with energy
awl economy, until! the Ist of September,
1567, when 1 received General Orders No.
ST, - dated iletaluerters of the Army Adju
tant-General's Office, Washington, August
27, 1867, relieving me from the command of
the Fifth Military District, and assigning Ice
to the Depsartment of the Missouri.
In conclusion, I take the greatest pleas
ure in reporting to the General-in Chief the
cheerful and able manner its which all the
ofiSccre of my command performed their-dif
ficult and responsible dnties.

of the dark defile. Stepping aside till they

side are workmen swinging •huge mallets 'of
stone, chipping at the rock perseveringly to
widen the results of blasting. - \There are
two men to each opening drill. The huge

equally necessary brother, the one for drill

rush of air was cold as ice. Thi3 dark roAt
is relieved by narrow veins of quartz, and
the effect is very fine. For a quarter of 1;
mile there is ceaseless dripping on our heads,
and we walk literally through puddles.—
Then the footing beootnes dryer, though the
clay is wet at all times, and resembles putty.
They call it 'stopping clay,' and use it instead
of putty. Is is very useful around a candle
as we walk along. For the workmen it
serves as candle stick; splash goes a dub of

fired by olcotrieity, twenty three drills at a
time. 4.sl'we near the 'heading wo have to
stoop in walking; the black reek shwa down
upon us and around us like the fatuous pris

of timber are before the heading, behind
which workmen flee when the blast occurs.

A Colored, Mart on Equal:lA - pi
The Bev. Mr. Butler, a colored minister
addressed the 'Kentucky Colored Convention
:at Louieville . a few days since as followe - :. - .z.
The future 'of this country depends', not
so much'on tvlitit , party 'is in power, to it
does on the removal of all disabilities; they.
weigh down its people. Thon and, not un
til then, will the country have peace. We
don't ask for social equality. I never sa'W
that white woman yet Oat looked
in my eyes,as a good brown colored woman.
And if it 'wasn't so, We don't heed thdr so
cial equality doctrie, because our friends
the white folks lave kindly managed it so
that we have every shade to choose from,
from the deepest jet black to the turest
white. [Laughter.] And an there are no
ladies pret:ent alloy me to nay that the r;te• •
tice of social equality has not been on our .
side, but on that of the whites ; who in their
dark and devious ways, were not always n
i'ble, let us charitably suppose to tell black
and white. This social equality has not
been sought by us, but they have run after
us, and though we are nTv emancipated and
free, they haven't stopped.
A Voice—We'll stop it wino we get the
testimony.
Yes that's so. They better not come my "
way even now. We say to them lot us alone,

me alone I might have known what color I
-was-rtit--aiv-it=i9,lrtorgrea-rext—croubl-e—rs—
keep my hair just right. Don't talk about
social equality. If 1 was a white man in
Kentucky I would hide My bead; I wouldatt
mention it, with so many evidences standing
arouod of my social equality. We don't want
any more of it. Keep on your own side of
the lino and we'll keep on our side; find in the
course of time we'll get beak where God lef
uo. (Cheers and applause.]

and a boarding school wise is represented.—,t .
