THE TURF.
a Kingdom for a llorse Tbe Expert
of an Indianapolis Maa In Making a
Trotter.
"A few years ago,' said the shabby
man. scratching his head through a con
renierit hole in his hat, "I had a fever
to "be the owner of a fast trotting horse,
and it didn't take nil long to find a man
who' had a promising six-months-old
colt.
-.' "I bought the embryo trotter, paid
. $100 for the animal, and put it on past
tire. In the fall several horsemen ad-
. Tised me to let him run on pasture this
winter and 'freeze him out.' I did so,
' And the next spring when I went to look
at the animal I thought he wouldn't
.tmng over ten dollars. lint I paid his
pasture-bill, hired a colored boy to rub
3um down, the long hair came off and
he began to take on llesh.
. 'I wasadvised to get a careful 'man to
break him, and when I, began to inquire
'for such a careful man I found the town
was full of them. I hired one for twen-
tv-five dollars, and in two weeks some-
V
thing got wrong with one of the horse's
legs. The breaker, without asking,
hired a doctor, who took the horse to
'bis stable to board, for which he charged
me one dollar a day.
"I tcok the horse away from the
breaker, and, considering myself im
iposad upon, refused to pay the bill. He
sued me, and, running in all the stable
hands and horsemen about town as wit
nesses, he had an easy victory; and 1
had heavy costs to pay.
. "I then got another man to finish the
.breaking. He drove the horse once or
twice and then made a discovery that
.pleased mo very much. 'You've got a
,tine horse there,' .said he, 'one that will
injake a trotter.' I began to think I had
: Goldsmith Maid or lied Cloud. 'This
'horse ought to be put on the track.' He
took me aside and told me very privately
that he would undertake the animal's
.education for cne dollar a day, but not
to tell the terms to any one as It would
.injure him in his 'profession.'
"He took the prodigy am? trained
him for three months. Every Sunday I
went out to the exposition track to see
him. Even' time the trainer told me
with enthusiasm that he was lha most
promising 'young boss' lie had ever
seen, and filled mu with vanity. But 1
(had never seen my horse go. One day
ii found that the only training he was
getting was in being driven about town
..at night in a beastly stata of intoxica
tion (the man. not the horse). Before
this I had supposed that all horse
ttrainers belonged to the temperance
band.
"So I took hossy away from this
fellow ami sent him to the Southern
. Fark. The track was a mile long, which
!l was told would be better.
1 jot a new
driver, who, after jroinjr around
the
,track, pulled up and said:
" 'What do you ask for this boss?'
i " 'Don't want to sell him.'
" " 'He's a good one or lj will be if
he's handled right. He's been nearly
' spoiled, though. They'xo got him to
'hopping. Hut I can bring him out of
that.'
' 'You can? What'll you charge?'
, " 'Well, you've been swindled so
Jbadlv I'll becasv with j'ou a dollar a
'lay.
;So I employed him. In about a week
jl called to .see-Low my tiotter was get
ting on. 'He's doing better,' said the
trainer, but he still hops. He will have
'to have his teeth leveled tip.'
"Holy terror, thinks I: what have his
;tccth to do with Ills hopping. But I
iconcludml to have ltis Ittitli lived, and a
. man with a black satchel came to do tho
job.
" 'Don't he wabble or hitch a little
when 3'ou drive him?' inquired the horse
dentist.
- 'Yes, a good deal,' said the trainer.
" 'It's his teth.' said the dentist. So
ho leveled iy tho grinders and I paid
him five dollars.
"But somehow, although my horse
looked prettier when he smiled than he
. ever had before, he didn't seem to im
prove in other vpecls. I got hold of
the man who groomed the .-teed and
after putting a couple of silver dollars
in his hand pumped him.
" 'It's as much as my place is worth,'
said he, 'aud you musu't give me away.
Your hor.se hasn't been drove hardly at
all. When they see you are coming
ithey hitch him up and trot him a little
nd I can't get a chance to rub and feed
"him as 1 ought.' I told him I wanted
him to work on my horse and would pay
him well for it. 'Ail right, boss,' said the
groom.
l "Two weeks later I saw my horss
gain. The driver said he had nevei
seen a horse improve so rapidly in hi?
life. He told me he had been giving
him medicine, had loosened up his hide
and made his hair to lie down. He got
live dollars awa from me for that. I
.wanted to know how much I oweil him.
He figured it np. There were blankets,
and toe-weights, and boots anil a big
blacksmith bill, and training, etc. I
paid his bill and took him away. On
the wa driving hack to tjwn I fried to
overtake a funeral, but tlif last carriage
In the procession distanced me and the
hearse was out of sight.
"Still the horso hat? every mark of a

One day this honest man said to me -
'This is no track for a lrse like ywurs.

"So off to Cleveland. The horse was

THE TOMBS BARBER.
What He Says About the Versona
Faces He lather Particular Gaateaa
ers. "Tee, I am the Tombs barber," said
Morris Haber, an intelligent young Ger
man, who was found in his barber shop
on Canal Strcct'by a reporter, "and you.
are the first newspaper fellow to find
me out, although I have held that posi
tion for nearly two rars. Any other
barbers admitted to fte prisons? No,
sir; I am the only cue, and was ap
pointed by tBe Commissioners of Chari
ties and Correction. Salary? Not any.
My earnings consist of what the prison
ers give me, except in cases of con
demned murderers, and then the Sheriff
pays me.
"I am allowed to enter the prison ,at
any time, but usually only go there
three days- of .the week, on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. I am now
shaving about, twenty prisoners' a day
there, and what I get averages about
eight dollars a week. No prisoners are
compelled to get shaved, but the greater
number who have any spare change
always wish to. This is generally the
case with those who are about to go
into court. Thej7 want to make their
best appearance before the court and
jury, and it has come to be a common
saying among them that ji clean shave
means ten years off their sentence.
"In winter I go there regularly every
morning at eight o'clock and in sum
mer at seven o'clock. I carry my razors,
scissors, soap and bottles in a small
hand-bag. and my hair-clipping ma
chine in a leather case. I generally
take five or six razors with me every
time. When I get there, the first thing
I do is to look over the slate aud find
the prisoners' names marked with an
'X.' This means that they are the ones
who are to go to court. As court
always opens at ten o'clock, and as I
have learned from experience how
much importance is attached to a 'clean
shave' b3r the prisoners with reference
to their appearance in the court-room,
I always take pains to get through with
the 'court cases' early and as soon a?
possible, even leaving my regular cus
tomers there and I have several until
they are out of the way.
"So I go along each row of cells the
first thing, and I ask each prisouer
whether he wants a shave or not. Some
times I find a great many who do and
then it is lively work, for 1 have to shave
them in their cells, and there are so
chairs in them for the meu to sit on,
consequently I have to shave them sit
ting on the edge of their narrow beds.
In each case the keeper locks me in
with the prisoner, and I have to call his
attention by knocking on the door
when I am done and want to get out.
"I have never had a prisoner molest
me or even act rudeh to me while at
my work there, , notwithstanding the
fact that the Tombs has an average of
from 150 to 200 prisoners all the time,
and from all classes of criminals. The
prison seems to have a quieting influ
ence on them and they are more polite
to me as a rule, in saying their 'good
morning,' and 'good day,' than many
outsiders. I have never had them ask
me to bring them things they are not
pcamittcd to have or try to get me to
help them to escape or get the best of
the keepers. As for the sight of my
razors stirring up any desperate
thoughts in the minds of any of them,
if they have I've never known of it.
"The new prisoners seldom talk to
me. and of course I don't ask questions.
Naturally, the faces arc changing all
the time, in the going away of some
and coming in of new prisoners. Every
now and then some new comer will
greet me with a how-dy-do,' and I
will find that he is an old oil'endcr who
has been in the Tombs before and re
members me. Buttthey all seem glad
to see me, for it makes a little change
in their prison life. Those who have
been there some time talk more, and
sometimes tell me about their cases,
bnt I don't take much interest in the
particulars, naturally, though I give the
poor fellows all the sympathy I cau.
"y oldest customer here? Let mo
see. It is Conroy, 1 guess, the police
nun condemned to uc huug on the
charge of murder. He has been in the
Tombs about seventeen months, and is
now waiting for a new trial, 1 believe.
I have shaved him regularly twice a
week since he has been there, and he
is one of those who have talked to me
about their affairs.
"Another of my regular customers
there is Donovan, condemned to im
prisonment for life for killing a man
with a billiard cue. He is also wailing
or Irving to get a new trial. He has
been there a year. John Carpenter,
condemned to be hung for killing his
wife, is another of mj customers there.
He has been in the Tombs eight months,
hoping for a new trial.
"People mfght readily think that
thesj men. knowing that the' must stay
there so long, and perhaps in prison
forever, or be ining, would got carelass
alxjut their appearance, and let the bar
oer go b But the' don't, and they
are as particular to lus shaved twice a
week as my customers here at the shop.
They will take pride in their looks, and
as they have frequent visitors, they
want to look nice for them, I suppose.
"One of the most particular customors
I ever had in there was I'hinclauder,
the man that wa claimed to be insane.
He was in a long time, and always paid
me extra, but he was very particular to
bo shaved three tftues a week, and just
so. If I missed a day he would get very
angry. Very few, hoivuer. pay mo
extra. They are not lavish with their
money when they get in theTombs. and
those who are fortunate enough to have
any keep it veiy close.
"Billy McOlory paid mo extra,
though, and I found him a veiy nice
man. Another man I thought was
pretty nice was Miirtin. the celebrated
counterfeiter. He became blind while
in there and was in the hospital. Ho
had a long beard and was very particular
to have it trimmed to a hair. Another
very particular man was a negro of
Spanish descent, a young man con
demned for murder. " He was always
one of the neate-t and cleanly-looking
men of the whole lot, and he always
wanted me to take great pains over him.
to fix his hair just right and irive him a
close shave." Ar. '. Mail and Express.

DANDY' HOTEL GUESTS.
ATeteran Clerk Tells or a Few Kncooatera
HellaxUad. ,
Who was the most admirable guest
I ever came across in my career behind
hotel counters?" asked George Fuller,
derk of tthe Russell Housci'replying to
a question.
'Yes, that's about it."
'Well," said the clerk, "I havo in
the course of ray experience, met bever
al rather noted traveling men. Now,
when 1 was day clerk of the Hame
hameha House in Honolulu "
"Here, come off on that."
"Do you want to hear my story or
.not.youn lellow?"
"Yes. of course."
"Well, then, don't make any unnec
essary comments. Now, to proceed.
When I was clerk of the house .there'
arrived a very high-tone J-Kanaka from'
aui in the Ifawuii Island. He came
over in a little boat. He wore a plug, '
and nothing el-e to- speak of except
some highlv-intnesting ilesh-tint illus
trations. He engrossed his name on
the register. I gave him a check foc
his grip, to'ok his overcoat you see
thev have no bell b'ovs in the hotels of
Hawaii."
"Ain't vou getting a little tangled
up?"
"1 should curl my mustache that I"
wasn't. We ought" to have had bell
boys, but we didn't."
"I didn't mean that. I simply de
sired to intimate that saying the fellow
was naked and had an overcoat in the
same breath is rather suggestive of in
consistency." .
"Well, are vou telling this story?"
"No, but"
Very well, then, you keep still and
take a reef in'vonr jaw, while I pro-
ceed. He asked: 'What's tbe price of
your tine-.t room, first floor, front, with
bath?' I told him, and I-gave him a
figure high enough to buy the ransom
of Kalakua. He planked down two.
weeks' paj' at this figure all m crisp,
brand new United States green
backs" "New greenbacks in the Sandwich
Islands?7 Now. George "
"Shut up! You're listening. I'm
telling the story. I was a little para
lyzed already, but when he asked for
the 'worst room in the house' I was
simply killed .dead. The fellow said, -I
knowl'll get it, anyway, sc I asked for
it. You can charge the figure you
have specified, however.' He flew
very high while while he stayed. We
fondled him too, you bet, for he was
altogether the llushest guest we had
had in months. But when' he left it
makes me kick myself yet to even think
of it we discovered' that the money he
had paid was counterfeit!"
"He was a good deal of a dandy,
wasn't.he?"
"Quite, but he -couldn't compare
with a lady boarder that I had with me
when I clerked in the Alexandrovitch
Kotzebue House in Sitka in 1SG4 that
was before America invested in Alaska.
She drove up one afternoon in a phae
ton drawn by four white horses "
"Here, here. I can't stand every
thing!" "Well, it's for you to hear you're
right. But quit your chinning and
listen. She alighted rather" grandly
and greeted me smilingly. She or
dered the whole .first lloor assigned to
her and I consulted the propretor, aud
we laid ourselves out to accommodate
our distinguished guest. She said she
was the Countess Rolcaczy, whose
husband had been appointed by the Im
perial Government Governor of Russian-America.
He would arrive by the
next Pacific steamer Irom Petropau
lovski, Kamschatka, where he was lo
cated. The commandant at Sitka gave
in his allegiance all right aud for a
time the Countess reigned in great
shape. Everything went swimmiugh
until she began to get large advances
on credit from all the Sitka banks' "
"Banks? This is too much."
"Will you quit interrupting? We
thought it was a little queer that she
did not offer to pa- us some portion of
her very largo hotel bill. One night
the Countess disappeared, and she left
a great deal ahead of Sitka. I was dis
charged next week for not having de
tected her as a fraud at first sight.
"Who was she?"
"A milliner named Smith from
San Francisco.'
"But these cases are of rauk swin
dlers. I can't see that the- were ad
mirable guests. I mean guests that
delighted vour soul."
"When I -leased the Hotel de l'Em
pereur Napoleon on St. Helena, I gave
:v. Brazilian nobleman an inside room,
four floors up near the kitchen, and he
never kicked. He was a darling. Then
again when I kept the 'End of the

were Argentine and Chilian Generals
who were 'holding' Terra del Fuego

a little short, i ou know Port t amine
is in that region, and we had to feed

from able-bodied Fuegians. The Gen
erals entered no protest. When I
clerked in the 'Gev.-er' at the base of

Daniel Webster's Fees.
In view of the protracted trial in our
Superior Court last week it is of inter
est to note the fees which Daniel Web
ster received for his .services. For
many years he kept" a regular account
of his professional receipts, and for
two of those years the accounts havo
buen published. In the first of the two,
when he was aoout thirty-seven years
of age, his receipts, omitting "seVeral
small affairs." amounted to 'fifteen
thousand one hundred and eighty-one-dollars.
The number of items, mostly
against different client', was one hun
dred and twenty-nine. The largest
charge was- two thousand dollars.
There were twenty-four retainers in the
year, amounting' in the aggregate to
one thousand three, hundred and ten
dollars. The largest was a "retainer
in patent cases" of one hundred and
fifty dollars: but mot of the retainers
were of one hundred dollars and fifty
dollars. The second published account
covered the years 1832-3, when Webster
was fifty years old. The amount of re
ceipts for this yearnvas eight thousand
two hundred and twelve dollars, but
out of this is to bejdeducted nine hun
dred and ninety-two dollars as "Con
gressional pay." This leaves for his
professional receipts seven thousand
two hundred and twenty dollars. The
largest fee this year was five hundred
dollars. There were only forty-four
items, and' of these eighteen were re
tainers, amounting to two thousand
three hundred and thirty dollars. One
of them was one hundred dollars for
"Dr. Nott's patent causes." "A Tery
poor year's work," says Webster
"Nullification kept me out of the Su
preme Court all the last winter.'

T-E SEA DOCTOR.
Datle anct Trials ot a Steamship Phyal
clan 1IU Petty Responsibilities.
The duties of steamship doctors are
far more onerous than is generally sup
posed. Upoi, these zealous and. pains
taking officials fall a hundred petty
care3 of which the passengers know
nothing. To mention atonce one' of his
most disagreeable duties: th ventila
tion and disinfecting of the ship is all
carried on under the doctor's diroc ions,
and in rou ti weather he is Mtmcti:ms
obligud to issue formal orders to steer
age passengers to leave tho'r poo;Iy
lighted bunks b-'low to come up L.'.o
the keen air and the dashing spra. In
rare cases, force has actually to bo em
ployed to make people leave their bed;
there are ominous thi'vaten'ngs and,
gruntings, but returning health' make
the recalcitrant patients ashamed of
their obstinacy. .Indeed the saloon pas-
sengers are now and then more refrac
tory than the humlile denizens of the
teerage. The doctor and the ihir.sef.
too, together share the burden of the
innumerable oue-tions hurled at the
! Captain by the passengers. Ten thou
sand demands concerning everything,
from the science of navigation to the,
prospects of a -safe and speedy arrival,
are heaped upon the unusually good na
turedtrioof officials, every one of whom
has probably been asked e ich question
at least a hundred times before. Even
when the passage from port to port st
suiuuiu uieru is uiiuiiu iui a conscien
.tious medical officer to do; but when the
rough gales swoop down on the Atlan
tic the labor is quite trying.
"In the mid.it of a terrible cyclone,
some years ' ago," recently said 'a
' veteran sea doctor to the writer,- "when
the good ship literally stood on her
beam ends, and when "it seemed as f
she would be swept away into the abyss.
I suddenly felt the qualms of sea Sick-,
ness creeping over me. It was tho first
time I had been thus affected' for many
years, but they were none the less ter
rible, andI felt like crawling iulo my
room and resigning myself to them.
Jitst as I was about to do this I was, told
.that a sailor in the forecastle had' one
of hs legs broken, and I was com
pelled to go to him and summon all
my skill and nerve ior a difficult case
of surgical practice. Scarcely had J
finished this exhausting work when
another sailor on deck was nearly
killed, and I had to spend the rest of
the da' over him. Before I had finished
tho second operation I had quite for
gotten my own illness."
Sometimes, despite the elaborate pre
cautions taken by the agents of steam
ship compan:es in shipping passengers,
the doctor awakens after the voyage is
begun to the horrible consciousness
that he is faca to face with an infec
tious disease, which may spread
throughout the ship and result in
destroying the reputation of the line.
He sets to work to isolate the people
who are ill. If small-pox is the dis
order, he persuades every one except
the sick that it is nothing of the kind,
and in the lneanlimje takes extra
ordinary pains to get the sufferers out
of sight. He extemporizes a hospital,
and places a trusty attendant in charge;
he issues orders that no cabin passen
gers shall be allowed to visit the steer
age, and that no occupant of the steer
age shall appear on the saloon decks.
He deluges every hole and corner with
disinfectants, and when asked by pas
sengers why it is done, answers that
"one can never be too careful at set."
If a patient dies of small-pox he is
buried at midnight, or at an hour in the
morning when it is believed that all the
passengers are profoundly asleep.
"Do you meet much with diphtheria
on your voyages?" the writer inquired
of tiie doctor above referred to.
"Why, yes, lots ot it, aud it Is a ques
tion which is the worse of the two on
board ship, small-pox or diphtheria.
Only a few weeks ago, while on the voy
age to England, a mother in the steer
age sent for me, and when I went to
her, implored me on her knees to .save
her two children from the perils of
diphtheria, with which they seemed
threatened. 0, doctor,' she said, sob
bing as if her heart would break, 'diph
theria has robbed mo of every near rel
ative I have in this world except these
two children. My husband aiid three
of my babes died of it, and now it has
come again. Well, sir, bless my heart!
I worked over those children as I have
rarely worked before or since. But the
disease had certainly declared itself on
board, and although I took every pre
caution, one of the children died be
fore reaching port and the other in a
hotel in Liverpool. The mother re
signed herself solemnly to her great
grief. She said that when tlfry were
taken ill she knew they would not re
cover." Brooklyn Entile.

A correspondent sends the follow
ing account of a mistake made by a
little girl in his vicinity. She always
joins the family in reading the Script
ures during the family devotions, taking
her verse in turn. She easily reads the
shorter words, but needs some help on
the longer, but is always eager to pro
uounce all the words herself and some
times guesses. Recently it came her
urn to read the verse: "No man can
serve two master, for either he will
hate the one and love the other, or else
he will holdsto the one and despise the
other. Yotcjuinot serve God and Mam
mon." She made a slight variation at
the end and finished the verse: "Ye
cannot serve God and women." Chi

A resident of Staiesborough heard
a noise out at his barn the other night,
and he took his gun and slipped out.
He saw a man standing in the door of
his barn, aud, as the moon was shining,
he took good aim and fired, but the ob
ject never moved, so he 'fired the other
barrel and called for his wife, and
when she came they went and found he
had shot twice at his own shadow.

THE OLD CLO MEN.
How They Man i;je to Ditpute of Their
Arcuiitiilittions.
Some very amusing characters are
conspicuous hi the -trcets f New York.
I met one of t.:ee the other day. He
was a middh-aed man. with a shrewd
face and dark 'vyu. lie was dres-ed in
coarse, loose .-tuff, much the wor.e for
wear, ami he tarried several garments
over his loft arm. He was what we
call an "old t-'o" man" a gatherer of
cast o'.Y cods and trou-cr. hes aud
hoots and haV. As I was passing him
he asked me if I had any old clothe.-, to
bell, and assured me that he paid the
highest market prices. Then this little
dialogue, inspired by my own curiosity,
ensued :
"What do you do with the things you
pick up?" I inquired.
"What do 1 with them?" he said,
with a laugh, "1 get rid of them at a
profit."
"How?"
"How? Easy enough. I sell them
to the Westerners, and this is the wav I
do it: As soon as I get a big stock I
make-up a lot of bundles, as a pair of
boots, a hat, a coat, or something else
in each. I stutl the bundles into cheap
bags and then start for some Western
town. I hire a .store there and sell off
the bags at auction. When that's done
I take the lir.-t train out of that place.
If I stayed till morning I'd be lynched.
There's a hundred places I don't dare
to show my nose in. Once only once
I was caught ; badly to. I lost the
train and had to stay all night in a Mis
sissippi village. The next day I was
kept mighty busy, 1 tell 'ou, buying
back my bags and old clothes. I never
saw such mad people. The trade is
dangerous you see, but it pays."
The philosopher whistled briskly and
went his way. George Edgar Mont

PNEUMATIC TUBES.
A Plan for the Transmission of Malls oa
the Pneumatic Process.
A plan for the transmission of mails
between Paris and London by the pneu
matic process, devised by a M. Berlin,
is exciting considerable interest. The
following arc a few particulars of the
scheme: The pneumatic tubes or sub
way would ba laid down alongside the
existing railways for convenience sake.
The total distance between the two
capitals is 47o kilometres, viz.: Paris to
Calais (rail). 297 kilometres; Calais to
Dover (Channel) 39 kilometres; and
Dover to London (rail), 139 kilometres.
The pneumatic subway would be con
structed of cast-iron pipes of thirty-nino
centimetres in diameter and four metres
in length, connected by means of India
rubber points. This arrangement has
the effect of giving great flexibility and
ela-ticity to the whole, and of making
it water-tight besides, ihe carriage
suggested is composed of a wire frame
covered by a sheet of asbestos cloth with
a metallic warp. This covering would
have a kind of metallic brush coating,
to enable the compressed air to dilate
to a certain extent around the truck
and cool the latter, thus counteracting
the heat produced by the friction. A
truck would travel the distauce between
the two capitals in one hour, and one
could be dispatched every ten minutes.
An engine of from twenty-eight to
thirty hor.-e-power would be sutucienL

The Michigan Man Who Asked ?To Favors

Some twelve or fourteen years ago 'a
queerly-dressed. ccceHtric-acting indi

session of the Legislature and asked
various members to introduce a bill to
enable him to build a dam on Wolf
River, somewhere in the northern
counties. The matter was allowed to
go by default, and at the next session
the old man showed up again. This
time a bill was introduced, hut before
it came up he got tired and went home.

up the lake shore and said to him:
"I shall go to the Legislature again
this year, and 3011 come to me with
your bill and I'll push it for you."
"Thank ye, but it's no use," replied
the old man.
"Don't you want the dam?"
"Fact is, I built the dam before I
asked permission of the law."
"Well, 3'ou'd better have things in
legal shape."
"No use. Durin' the first session the

second, the mill went on a mortgage.

CROCODILES WITH EAR-RINGS.
:iuo Interesting Pisat; from Early
" l'iryti:.n -MMtory.
The greatest edifice which Araenemha
Hi. built was the Labyrinth, consisting
of a nu.nbcr of small chambers com-
municatiug with one another, and of
which this monarch appear.) to have
built the "rca.et nortiou duriuir his
reig:i leaving to his ,sacccssoi the com
plei :o:i of the edifice. The object of
this singular edifice was stated to be for
the recepfon of the prince and other
dignitaries of the country. It preceded
by centuries the celebrated one of
Gnossus in Crete, in wlfch King Minos
kept the monster called the Minotaur,
half mau half bulL This Cretan work
consisted of a series of meandering pas
sages, in which the intruder, who had
not the requisite clue, lost himself and
fell a victim to the monster who dwelt
within. Probably some reason of sus
picion aud security caused the con
struction of this singular building,
which, with the p ramids and obelisks,
was another marvel of Old Egypt In
Egyptian the Labyrinth was called Mera,
and had the same name a3 the lako.
The same word was also applied to
streets, which probably in Egypt origi
nally did not run in straight lines as at
pre'ent. but followed a tortious or
meandering course. The Pyramids, for
there were two on tho borders of tho
lake, arc supposed to have had colossal
statues of the kings at their
summits. In the time of Herodotus,
who visited EsvDt in the
rei-rn of Darius, or about B. C. 455. the
Lake Moeris, its Pyramids and its Laby
rinth, were still existing, although
they are now an almost indistinguisha
ble mass of ruins. Hie Labyrinth
greatly astonished .the ancient Greek
traveler. It had, according to his de
scription, twelve courts, all roofed with
stone, which was" unusual in Egyptian
buildings, most of which had no ceil
ings and were open to the sky, or
hiffiaclhral, as the Greeks called them.
It had twelve courts with gates exactly
opposite one another, six facing the
north and the same number facing the
south, and a great number of chambers,
according to the account of Herodotus,
1.500, above and below. The subter
ranean chambers or cripts Herodotus
did not see, but he heard that they com
prised the tombs of the kings who built
the Labyrinth aud those of the sacred
crocodiles which were attached to the
temidc of Scbak. the crocodile god, of
Crocodilopolis. or Crocodile town.
These great rept'les were exceedingly
tame and wore earring ,. and the Laby
rinthseeins to have t,een their sepiii
cher, although the principal pits iu
which the mummies of the crocodiles
arc found are at Manfalut. The courts
of the Labyrinth had colonnades and
entrances into the various chambers.
The whole was surrounded by an outer
wall and the walls covered with hiero
glyphics; but little is known of the pur
port of the inscriptions and the mere
fragments wlfch have been found con
tain the titles only of two
kings. At one of the cor
ners of the Labyrinth stood a pyramid,
forty-one fathoms, or '216 feet high,
which was entered by a .subterraneous
passage, lwo other pyramids stood in
the center of the lake. 300 feet high
above the surface of the water, which
was of the same depth at this spot. On
the apex of each of these pyramid was
a seated colossal figure. These three
tiyramids were the sepiilchcr of the

ferent names -to tbe king of the Laby
rinth, but the fragments of it which have

wliiio mummies were uerhaos buried
