Mummies.—There nrc now exhibited at the Louisville Museum, six Egyptian Mummies, taken from the ruins of the ancient city of Thebes, in Upper Egypt, where have they probably reused for three thousand years. They are in good state of preservation, one particularly, 1he hair of whose head is in a perfect state. They arc eminently worthy the examination of the curious. When we contemplate these remains of mortality, we imagine that wo are in company of those who were probably cotemporary with Solomon, and who, perhaps, were distinguished when Thebes was in her glory, and when siie poured through her hundred gates her millions of mailed warriors. There is also exhibited a manuscript on IIapyrus,in which the characters are as fresh as if they were the work of yesterday—characters “which look out alike upon the learned and the unlearned, with a bright and mocking distinctness, awakening curiosity, exercising the fancy, but, after all, defying the understanding,” There can be no doubt of their genuineness.—Lou, Herald.
