John Fdwaids, aged 36, Who took.
the first twolorethe strokes of the cat
. very coolly, but the- fourth elicited a
serelm of "Olt!" and dreadful grOans-
;and howling proceeded from bim until,
he had received seventeen -of the whole
twenty-five lashes. At the. end of
twelve strokes -a second jailor- handled
,the cat.... For the last half (linen lashes

_Robinson was, tile next, delinquenit
'brought to the whipping -pest. He was.
full of fear from the first. :Not only -
(lid he groan deeply, but he exclaimed
besparingly,.. " Stop off," Murder,"
"yrin Me off,"-. and "1,11 never do it
again." He showed throughout mere-
' ;feeling than. either °This fellow garo tters.
. Wile& he was unloosed he fell into the

- to lii.S cell. The next., prisoner was
SeldMon Robinson, aged 19, who went
to:the ordeal with.evident determinati-
on to put on an apperance f liravad6.
Though the youngest of the -victims, he
was infinitely the most self -possess- ed.
He never uttered a sound fAm, the first

Glass.

The astt of glass -making is of very
:high antiquity; The oldest known
speeimine o±-t-ransparent glassis a, bottle
abut three and a quaater -inches' high)
Cliseovered by Mr:. Lay-arcl in the ruins
. _ of the North Western Palace at None -
and -new in- the_ -13ritish.
It was blown in one solid plecell and
then hollowed out by a machinq. 'It
-has engraved upon it the name and title,
of Sargpn,'eel/Tallied. with the` figure.
of a lion. ‘. its data., therefore, is the
the later ikrt of the seventh century,
B. Theart, however, has been prac-
- tieed. in Eg3ret many centuries before
thisi----;•Thcre as discovered at Thebes a,
glass head, .bearing:the name of a king
who lived about 1450 B. C. The um-
- nuanents carry as ba0Jc -mucli further
than this.
04 the paintings at Beni I-lassan.,
which belang to the reign of Osirtasen
T, who. reigned 13. C. 2,000, we have
figures of -glass blowers at wo•fk, and on
the monuments of the tenth dynasty,
-
son -e[ two centuries eaiiier sti117 are
aVii-4.,rs of boV_es ofitransparent slat s
containing red. wine. ,- The skill shown
ty theancient _Egyptian glass blower,
- is almost incredible. Except, perhaps
poin-b of briliancy,-anct the evidence
here Must necessarily. be -wanting, .
-consequence -19f the chemical changes
- which time causes in tha substance of
. the glasete-tiley seem to (have -equalled,
•ancl•in serne instances Turp.a.ssed, any
productions .of modern times. --Their
art in intrAucin,,,-; different ieolois into
the same vase, .has, I believe, as yet
--found no'imitators: One very eurions
specimen, of their: skill has been pre-
served, It is- 'quite an inch in length,
by one-third in. breadth, .and one-sixth
in. thickness; and contains a figure of a
bird resembling a ,thick ittyery, bright
and N'aried colors •
"The most delieate,pencil efa minia-
ture painter cbuicl net have traced ;with
greater sharp. ess the circle of the eye-
ball Or the lumage of th'e neck and
wings.",
The most onclerful thing however,
is that the pic$ture, goes all through the
glass, so that both sides show the Same-
figtires. The way iii which it must ha4,7-e
been. macll wai: by arranging threads of
of col.ored an 1 uncolored glaSS in such
a Manner as . o producethe required
fgure at eaqh end of the mass. The
threads were then united by heat, each
thread being adjusted separately. The
lar of glass hus made would be cut in-
- to horizontttl Sections, each section° of
course containing* figure-- In. some
cases of srailar work the details are so
' fine as only to be made out with a lens
which accordingly must haire-bee :wed
in its naannfacture. It is, extremely
interesting to find thafMr. Layard did
discover a magnifying' lens' at Nineveh:
A Ltbrz FIGHT.-- An -extraordinary
-aid 'exciting seene took place recently
at Lynn; mEn land. i Manders' wild
t
beast enageri had been exhibiting at
the Mart for so e days past. , On Mon-
day evening the eMPloyeas of establish-
ment were attracted by Some domestic
bickerings among atonally of lions wto
occupied one of the prineipaI cages, but
at first paid little attention to it, but up4
OA 11 -closer ° squtiny it was found that
- the:Kingof the Forest was in a towering
fury. .. He lashed'his sides with his tail;
his mune stood erect, presenting an
appearance of magnificent grandeur; his
roar Was tearific. The object of his rage
was a fine Young lioness about two Years
of age, and -valuedat' from £120 to
L150. A short .13t.rt terrific fight- .took
place, • and in a few minutes the poor
lioness was dead and covered with gore,
lying at his feet. ' The greater portion
of the audience rushed'affrignted out of -
the place. 'The few who remained were
les ' excited" and obeerving that the
strong iron bars by fiont of the cage
protected them from danger, witnessed
sight they will long_ remember. In
the midst of this. excitement,- rendered
hideous by the shrieking atd;roaring of
all the inmates of the menagerie, -
from the smallest monkey to the pond-
-erous elephant. --mingled with the cries
of those -connected with the eaablish-
ment of " Where's MaccomcPunfortu-
nately the lion hunter was not present
-He however, soon arrive& and,straarge
to say, the majestic brute crouched in a
coiner at the. sound of his voice. But
the mischief was done before Macconices
arrival -there lay the corpse of the ill-
fated lioness: 'While. the lion was in
thelull height of his rage, one of the
keepers heated' ani iron bar 'and held it
to the-animal,s heact red hot for fully a
minute'. but, thotrgir severeley burned,
the -brute (a perfect giant in size )could
not be induced to loosehis hold, but car-
ried the lioness in his mouth up and
. .
down theeden, apparently with as much
ease as a cat -would a mouse. It seems
that the lady was the aggressor, andhad
threatened her lord and Master with
"tooth And nail" until, roused to fury,
he at length .bestbwed upon his vixenish
t mapanioni a grip across the back.wh'c'i
summarily .and forever. put a stop to
their domestic bickerings.

The oldest relic of huTanity extant is •
the skeleton of one of ithe early Pk-
raohs, incased' 31 its • original burial
robs, and -wenderfully perfect, consid-
ering its age, which was deposited
about eighteen months ago, in the Brit-
ish Museum, and is justly considered
the most valuable' of its archteologicall
treasures. The lid of the cbirm -which
contained the royal mummy was .in-
scribed with tbe name of its ocoupant,.
Pharaoh MykesimuS, who succeeded the.
heir of the 'builder of the pyramids,
aboutten centuries before Christ. Only
think of it ; the monarch whose crumb-
ling bones and leathery integuments
are now exciting the • wonder pf num-
°rens gazers in London, reigned in
Egypt before Solomon- was born, and;
.only about eleven centuries:or so after
Mizraim, the grandson of old father
Noah, and the _first of the' 'Pharaohs,
had been 'gathered to their fathers.

were contemporaries of the great patri-
arch. His bones and shriveled skin
are centemporary: with the nineteenth
century, and the date- of the crucific-
tion -is only. micrway between his era
and ours.

rooin. when he is out of hearing the
others assign him a chara,cter. They
agree, for instance, that he isto represents
Benjamin Franklin. Then he is -ealled
in and treated and addressed as though
he was Franklin,: care being taken to
conceal from hiin the character which
has been assigned him, as that is what
ha is expected to. discover. For- exam-
ple one asks,- ' Did you enjoy that, loaf
of -bread?' in allusion to Fran klin's walk-
ing the streets of Philadelphia eating a
loaf .of bread. Another asks 'Were
yon not afraid that people would- laugh
-at you?' 'The ladies still keep up thtit.
house-cleaning against which you made
such a funny protest.' 'Did .you feel
badly when, your mother didn't reccog-
nize you?' 'There have beei great devel-
opments .in electricity; recently.' We
boys enjoy flying kited, too.' 'That
document you helped 'to get up, is
