esoterical svstem
The early education among the
Egyptians, according to the most au
thentic annals, seems to have been
fathef-of an exclusive character. The
more favored classes enjoyed the best
educational advantages the state of
Egyptian society afforded, while the
masses of the people were carefully ex
cluded from the higher schools. The
more privileged of the Egyptian peo
ple were divided into three classes,
viz: "the priests, warriors, ajid profes
sional men, including judges, architects,
writers, and perhaps physicians.
These classes enjoyed the best ad
vantages of education, and upon them
was bestowed "most of the education
of the country." This education con
sisted of two kinds, viz: exoteric and
esoteric.
system of education
by which teachers
publicly; and the
was secret, mysteri
ous, or of an acromatic character. The
same systems of instruction seem to
have been adopted by Pythagoras, the
latter comprising that instruction
which this distinguished teacher gave
secretly.
- Among the Egyptians the exoterical
education included a knowledge of the
domestic system of writing as distin
guished from the hieratic or hiero
glyphical. or system of sacred writing.
This hieroglyphic writing was regard
ed as too sacred for the masses to learn
and was confided to the priests, and
therefore included under the esoteric
system.
The children of the priests enjoyed
the advantage of this esoteric educa
tion, and hence were instructed in hi
eroglyphic writing as Mrell as in the
Sacred mysteries, and in the higher
mathematics.
The frequent inundations of the Nile
renders a knowledge of mensuration
and geometry an absolute necessity,
and hence we do not wonder that the
Egyptians became to a great extent
proficient in the science of geometry.
The construction of the pyramids
Would seem to warrant the presump
tion that the Egyptians not only pos
sessed' a knowledge of geometry, but
that they had made great advancement
in architecture. These silent monu
ments of antiquity on the sandy wastes
0f Africa, admonish us that this pre
sumption is beyond the possibility of
a doubt.
But the lower orders of the Egyp
tian people were carefully excluded
from the temple of learning. Educa
tion was too dangerous a weapon to be
put" in possession of the masses. Its
power would in the hands of the down
trodden of Egppt impair the despotism
tt the Shepherd kings and the Pyramid
builders, and curtail the influence of the
priests.
Buring the reign of the Shepherd
kings the masses of the Egyptian peo
ple were kept in the most servile deg
radation, and thus the succession was
tJhe more surely perpetuated. The artificers,-
agriculturalists and herdsmen
. 1 A S A.
Vpr rifniHl education, except mat,
Whlcli they received from their parents
and near relatives. But they were not
entirely cut off from education like the
Sudras of India, but were allowed to
learn the domestic system or writing,
ad were even permitted to learn the
rudiments of arithmetic.
But there was one class of herdsmen
that was entirely prohibited from re
ceiving any education, viz: the Pariah
or swineherders. This class was even
prohibited from visiting the temples
and hence was cut off from all human
sympathies! How sad to think that
even m the benighted annals of Egyp
tian grandeur, there was a class of
mortals so completely severed from
the more tender emotions of humanity,
nd cast away with the swine! But at
a later period in the history of Egypt
we find the condition of the masses
materially ameliorated by the intro
dTfction of the improved Greek civiliza
tion. The Greeks had originally re
ceived their rudiments oif civilization
from the Egyptians, and under the
philosophers and law-makers of Greece
this civilization had been materially
improved.
-This introduction of the improved
civilization was made by Alexander
the Great and his successors, and Alex
andria soon became the seat of some
of the finest institutions of learning in
the country.'
Thebes, Memphis and Ileliopolis had
been: renowned for the schools of the
priests; but the cities of the Delta soon
tfeeam as renowned for their schools
of philosophy and science as the former
had been during tine former history of
Egypt.
The Ptolemy dynasty Is said to have
been a great patron of letters and learn
ing, and the vast Mbraries of Alexan
driathose of the BkucnfoTT and of the
Perapeum are amongtheniost remarka
ble of this period of Egyptian feretory.
: JffSS LAURA KEEXEi
I suppose you knew MisS Laura
Keene?
Very well.
AVould you object. to giving me some
particulars Ifl regard to her life?
Certainly hot. Miss Keene, before
she werlt Ort the stage, was a bar-maid
on the Stirrey side of London. She
becan-her career in amateur theatri
cals, and finally went tljwn the stage
and played two or three times in Lon
don. tone was a failure, ana so came
over to America. She made the ac
quaintance of Mr. James Wallack, the
elder eentleman of that name, who
was greatly struck with her appear
and beautiful woman. He took the
trouble to teach her parts, even takinj
pains to correct hef pronunciation, and
she proved to be a great success in
New York. Her flr3t marriage in
England had been an unfortunate one,
her husband, a man by the name of
Taylor, having had occasion to go to
A ustralia for prudential reasons. When
at the zenith of her popularity she
married a gambler named Lutz, who
leased the St. Charles Street Theater
in Baltimore. This soon became the
most fashionable place of amusement
in that city, and she was muoh encour
aged by her success that she returned
to New York, where her husband, aid
ed by an architect named Trimble,
built a theater on Broadway, which
was called by her name. This was in
I860, she having been in Baltimore
abodt two years. It may be said, per
haps, that she began the era of the
spectacular drama in New York by
producing, as she did, in rapid succes
sion, such ill-conceived plays as the
Seven Sisters, tha Sea of Ice, and
Dreams of Delusion. Her subsequent
history is reasonably familiar to the
public.
HOW DUNDREARY WAS CREATED.
I believe you became connected with
her company about this time?
Yes ; when George Jordan, her lead
ing man, left,4' I joined the company
as leading juvenile man and low
comedian. That season opened very
badly. About this time she obtained
a piece called "Our American Cousin,"
from Tom Taylor, for which she paid
81,000.
At the reading of tha piece Jefferson
was given "Asa Trenchard," he being
the eomedian, Mr. Couldock "Abel
Murcott," and to Mr. Sothern "Lord
Dundreary. At the conclusion of
the reading, which was in the green
room of the theater, I put my part on
the table and walked out of the room.
As originally written by Taylor, it con
tained not more than twenty-seven
lines. There was no clue to the charact
er except a memorandum by the auth
or, to the effect that the actor who
assumed it might, if he chose, imitate
the lisp . of Sir Frederick Blunt in
"Money." Miss Keene sent Mr. Burnett,
the manager, to me, asking me why I
would not play the part, I positively re
fused to entertain the idea, but just as
Mr. Tturnttt was leaving the room, I
said to hita: "btop one moment. If
Miss Keene will permit me to alter this
third or fourth-class old man in any
way I choose, and to write in my own
scenes, and elaborate the parts of those
who play with me I will accept the

Art Department, 1873.
The Illustrations of the AMlno have won a
world-wide reputation, and In the art centrwi
of Europe it Is an adu.itted fact that Ita wood
cuts are examples of (he highest nerfociion er
erattaiiied. The common prejudice in favor of
"steel plates," Is rapidly yielding to a more ed
ucated and disci-iiiiiiiuliiig taste which recog :
nizes the advantages of superior artistic quality
with greater facility of production. The wood
cuts of the Aiding possess all the dollcacy an l
elaborate finish of ihe most cosilv steel plate,
while they afford a better rendering of the ar
tist's original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which tha
Aldine is doing for the cause of art culture in
America, it Is only necessary to consider the
cost to the people of any other decent repre
sentations of tho productions of great paint
ers. In addition to designs by the member of th
National Academv, and other noted American
artists, the Aldine will reproduce examples of
the best foreign masters, selected with a view
to the highest artistic success and greatest gen
eral Interest. Tims the subscriber tothr Al
dine will, .at a trifling cost, enjoy In his own
home the pleasure and refilling Influences of
true art.

Premiums for 1874. .
Every subscriber to the Aldine for the year
1874 will receive a pair of chromos. The origi
nal pictures were painted In oil for the publish
er of the Aldine, by Thos. Moran, whose grrat
Colorado picture was purchased by Congress for
ten thousand dollsis. The subjects wcrn chos
en to represent "The East" and "Tbe West."
One is a view in the White Mountains, New
Hampshire ; the other gives The Clifls of Green
Kiver. Wyoming Territory. The difference In
the nature ot the scenes thcu selvf-s Is a'oleas-
ln;i contrast, and affords a good display of tb
artist's scope and coloring. The cliroinos r

of the originals. The presentation of a worthy
example of America's greatest landscape paint
er to the subscribers of the Aldine was a bold
but peculiarly happvidea. and its successful re
alization is attested by the following testimo

trtntUtnn:l am delighted with th proofs
in color of vour chromos. They are wonderful
ly successful representations by mechanical
process of the original paintings.
Very respectfully,
(Signed,) Thos. Mora?.
These chromos are in every sns America.
They are by an ori:,in;d American process, with
material of American manufacture, from de
signs of American scenery by an American
painter, and presented to subscribers to the flrit
successful American Art Journal. If no better
because of all this, they will certainly possess
an interest no foreign production csu inspire,
and neither are they any the worse if by reason
of peculiar facilities of production they cost
the publishers only a trifle, while equal In evrrv
respect to other chromos that are sold singly
for double the subscription price of the Aldine.'
I'ersons of taste will prize these pictures for
themselves not for the price they did or did
not cost, and will appreciate the enterprise that
renders their distribution possible.
It any subscriber shouid indicate a preference
for a figure subject, the publishers win send
"Thoughts of Home," a new and beautiful
chromo. 14x20 inches, representing a little Ital
ian exile whose speaking eyes betray the loni
lngs of his heart.
