A SHOWMAN'S IDEA.
r. T, Barnum Offer a Suggestion
Regarding the Bis Fair.
What novel feature wouM 1 pro
jo-k? ior the world's fair? asks
P. T. liainum in the North Amer
ican Review. Now, I will present
ths fair committee with ono of my
iW, an iloa that mibt bring
iue in a million of money. In the
muj-eiun at Koolak, in Egypt, lies
the mummytietl corpne olliamestn
11.. the l'haroah uf the Kxodus,
with that of his 'laughter, the
avior of Pluses. aii'.l other lens
distinguish:'! of the royal Egyptian
family of that era. I had author
ized an ai;ent to offer the Egyptian
government an much an $100,000
to allow me to exhibit the remains
iu Europe and the United States.
I will relinquish my right or prior
ity of claim in the idea to the fair
committee. Let them obtain the
loan of these mortuarv relica from
the government and allow the
khedive to send his own solrliero
to puard the coflin. Think of the
"tupe'idousnesiaof the ineonjrruitv !
To exhibit to the people of the
Nineteenth century in a country
not discovered until '0X) or SOW
years after hi death that corpse
i t he king of whom we have the
earliest record ! Consider, too, that
the corpse is bo perfectly preserved
after thousand of ye in in the
tomb that its features are almoPt
periect ; so jierfeet that every man,
woman anil child w ho looks upon
the mummy may know the
countenance of the despot who ex
erted so great an inlluence upon
the history of the world. And it
might he a useful thought to this
generation, proud of its scientific
and mechanical triumphs, to bear
in the mind that the art that em
balmed the IwhIv of Kameses so
perfectly i lost, with a great
many others that were know n to
remote antiquity.
Indian Igar
Holder.
The New rel
aiw Picavune
f-avs: The Inquirer has discovered :
that there are probably not over j
halt a hundred cigar ore Indians
left in Philadelphia out of a former
population of half a thousand
or more. Chest .mt street in almost
entirely bereft of them. The
aristocratic promenaders of the
fashionable lmlevard would turn :
up their noses to an almost incon-,
ceivable height at the intrusion of :
a half-clay red man, and it is ;
probable that hi Lo-ship would j
feel out of place in the midst of so j
much plate jlass and silk and
broadcloth and paint and gilt.
There is no doubting hut that at
secluded moments lie would emit
a wooden sigh for the simplicity
and freedom of other day. The
image of an Indian in iro'nt of a
cigar store, with a bunch of cigars
in its hand, was always out of
place. The Indian the regular
warrior Li! smoked a pipe, when
lie could get it. JU- bad no use
for cigars.
Golitrn Kulc Kaz:iur. 1
Julius Gradwohl has decided to ;
add to his mammoth stock of j
crockery s nd fancy goods a com- j
plete line of groceries. IIo has en j
route a lame invoice of sugar, and .
will keep a complete assortment of I
choice groceries, and the best of ;
coffees and teas to be had in the j
market for the lwnefit of hisi
customers. He will also enlarge
his hardware department. IIo in-!
forms us that he buys all his goods :
for net cash, which will enable him !
to sell goods as low as any house
in Oregon, and there is no need of
pcopl" goins abroad when they can
do as well at home, or even better.
