I ODItl1N MUMMY MAKING
IN EGYPT.
find,,, says Mr. Madden, "that
it is no longer necessary to go
digging in dusty catacombs for Ram-
eses or any o1' pia contemporaries.
Wo can have thein made to order
by two very clever Arabs, who will
furnish kings, queens and princes
at very seasonal* figures. I helve
had the distinguished liquor of
being preseut while this untuufao•
ture astonished my eyes. A dead
man was brought into the shop on
Friday, I thiuk the Arabs paid 3s.
for bun, or in their native money
what. 35. would represent. Just
imagine, my dear daughter, how
cheap a cadaver is' in this part of
the world. No need of larking
here, 1 fancy. The body was put
ou a slab and the insides removed.
The brain was drawn through the
nostrils in precisely the same man-
ner as Herodotua describes the
enbalming process in his"Euterpe."
After that the corpso was thrown
rudely iuto a large vat of brine.
After remaining there for a period
of fifteen days it was removed and
hung by the heels from a rafter. A
email brazier was pint under the
head and filled with some`sort of
sweet smelling waod and fired.
After this all the doors were closed
and the corpse was smoked like a
ham. Iu tee hours this operation
was complete, and I beheld a most
remarkable change. The body had
turned almost black. It was shrun-
ken fully ouo-third, The features
were pinched just like those of a
mummy, and it bore the appearance
of great ago. Some aromatic drugs
the nature of which I did not -learn
were then prepared, and the corpse
was 'filled with them, and by the
same process that the brains were
removed. The skull was filled
with a gummy substance smelling
like sandal wood. A canvas case,
m telt'. the (lay before, but looking
re•t•ly to fall a part from very age,
produced, and the- corpse of a
pees eni--previously Painted and,
gilded --was put into it, and a long
scroll of parchment was prepared.by
one of the rogues giving a history
of the (lead man's deeds some time
during the reign of Thotmes about
14:10. R. C., when in fact he was a
fun days before gasping out his last
breath on the burning sands near
Sloer;l eh. is it not droll to t hink
that such a profitable traffic
should be carried on? The body
1 saw prepared sold, I think, for
,£40 to the Academie dee Science
,u Paris."
Thea retnarkable story by Mr.
Madden ie corroborated by George
\Val wick, 'who visited Gournah in
1.0-11, and found the very same
• i•ry in operation. Business
sgees ed to bo remarkably brisk.

from #;10 to £49, according to. the
"workmanship" that had been put
on the mummy and its case. The

A SAILOR KING.
e. ID. BENJAMIN, WASiIED ASIIORP, ON

CHIEF.
George Wright, who arrived at

t - ,t' the sudden raise of a sailor

where \Ir.d Wright has a
ul i::,_ store, says the San Francisco
s is ',is, cent of the New York
"The sailor," saidjMr. Wright. "is
ajar' Llsztjamin, and he has nu lose
Yuan nineteen wives and fifty odd

•.l .ill there is to point out
licit signifhcance.• It is on 'the
• ;ate of these, called by the sailor.
;ein island, after himself, that
1' •, 'Ikon up his horse. It is
te,s by twenty utiles in extent.
"Well inhabited' means that there
• a sprinkling of dark skinned
natives there, as well es many more
who move to and fro in the arehi-'
polago with boats. They eat bread-
fruit, bananas, cocoanuts, and fish.
They don't work at all. Benjamin
has got to bo king. He has nothing
at all to'do but g0 swiltlmiiig in the
surf, ,talk the native gibberish,
which he has learned, or lull under
a palm tree. Sometimes he has his
wives fan hila while he lazily
smokes the Keisebe leaf, which
growe plentifully there and which,
after one becomes used to it, ia',liked
better than tobacco.
"Benjamin is doing some good
work there, however. . 115 carried
three or foto' hooks with hint on his
raft, the last thing you would have
expected, and he has contrived to
teach the natives English. Ben-
jamin is an American of Gertnuu or
Jewish descent, and is a lover of
books. The first thing he did was
to select au intelligent native and
teach hire the .alphabet. The
fellow learned rapidly, and soon
began to teach it to oth'I e, and a
a number of then eau now speak
English, while the rising generation
immediately around are gradually
piokiug up akuotvledge of the lung•
nage. Benjamin is looked upon as
a sage. The chiefs, of whom there
are tour, conic to hien fur points,
a id of their own acc ,rd they have
made him their ruler, the chide
being a sort of cabinet.
"Benjamin has picket] out the
handsomest women fur wives, and
they esteem it quite an honor. The
king lives in the biggest bamboo
house iu the village Ki,of a straggling
aggn'gatiuu of native houses on a
coral reef, The children are of all
age+, and are a sprightly, lively lot.
Nobody bothers much tvith clothes
in the South Pacific, still Benjamin
wears a little something, and is
gradually prevailing on the natives
to do so too. He keeps telling
them that there is no civilization
without some clothes. Benjamin is
about thirty years old. He was
formely from Newbury port, ;Hass.
but says that he no longer has any
desire to return to America. lig is
the only white man, with ono ex-
ception,dr
forh�ul}led,
of milts
around. Ile has taken to wearing
a string of shells around his nock
like tho natives,. curl he sometimes
imitates them and puts dots of 11110
paint, got from a native shrub, on
his face. This is only on state
occasions, however, when there is
to be a discussion ou impertant
quostio: et with his chief's. The pet!
manunt population of this island is
about 600 or 700. The island is
indented with 1.1^a110.ifnl bays, and
is dotted with trees and shrubs of a
tropical growth with fragrant
flowers. Benjamin inland is about.
