kco Hm ' Hma'J;' ELGIN, ILLINOIS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1886. BY DOHERTY & PHARAOH'S HOUSE. RUINS OF A PALACE REFERRED TO BY THE; PROPHET JEREMIAH, tiii THE IRISH CONVENTION, Rains of a Castle In the Midst of the Mud Swamps oft the Nile—Discoveries In Pharaoh's Kitchen—Nebuchadnez- zar's Ylctbry. . >. ■ *4 ■ ■ ' t Another very curious and interesting dis- covery bas been made in the loneliest and dreariest corner of the delta plain of lower Egypt. In the land where previous explorers have found only the monuments of an ex- tinct faith and the graves of a dead nation, Mr. Flinders Petrie has lighted upon the ruins of a royal palace. The fortunate finder of Norcratis has now been working upon a vast mound called Tell Defenneh, which his- torians have long identified with the Pelusiac Daphnas of the Greeks and the Tahpanhes of the Bible. Here he has discovered the ruins of that very palace to which, as recorded in tho Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, Johanan, the son of Kercah, followed by all the captains anil the remnant of J udah, brought the fugi- tive daughters of Zedekiah, then a dethroned captive in Babylon. This flight of the He- brew princesses took place about 585 B. C., during the reign of Ua-ab-Ra, whom the He brews called Hophra and the Greeks Apries. PLaraoh received the fugitives kindly. To the mass of the Jewish immigrants he gave tracts of land, to the daughters of Zedekiah, his former ally, he assigned this royal palace, which the Bible calls "Pharaoh's House in Tahpanhes." CASTLE OF THE JEW'S DAUGHTER. Alfchougl^this part of the delta is jiow a wilderness,Alialf marsh, half desert, over which no traveler ever passes, it was at the time when these events took place a rich pas- toral districts-fertilized by the annual over- flow of the/ Nile. In the midst of jnud swamps have long been observed some-groups of ruins, to one of which was attached the name of the Castle of the Jew's Daughter. Hearing this from his natives Mr. Petrie at once perceived the interest which must a tach to the place, and the intelligent labor which he lias bestowed upon it has met with a suit- able reward. Not only the architectural structure, but its history also lias been rescued from oblivion. The building was at first a stronghold— quadrangular, lofty, massive, like a castle keep. It contained sixteen square rooms or each floor, both the outer and partition wallt being of enormous strength. It is, of course impossible to guess of how many stories i was originally composed, but it is of its faliei stones that the mound is made, This strong hold was built by Psannneticus I, as u proved by the deposits marked with the royal name and titles, placed under the foundation walls. There were found also the libation vessels, specimens of ores, bricks, the bones of the ox and bird sacrificed at the time and a series of tablets with inscriptions. The rooms in the castle were lined with slabs of fine limestone, covered with hieroglyphics, figures of captives aiid the like, delicately carved ;.ii(i painted, j These are now splintered and mined, as the castle was burned as well as battered down, and very few objects of valuri were therefore to lie recovered. But the basements remain in very perfect condition, and in the basement were the kitchen, butler's juyitry anil scullery, and these domestic "offices become of great interest when they form part of an Egyptian palace 2,550 years old. IN KINO PHARAOH'S KITOHEN. The kitchen of Pharaoh's house in Tahpan- hes is a big room, with recesses in the thick- ness of the wall which served for dressers. There were fourteen large jars and two large flat dishes standing unharmed in their places, amid the general destruction. A stone corn crusher, a large iron knife, weights and three small iron spits were found in this room. In the butler's pantry adjoining were no wine jars, but hundreds of jar lids aud plaster stoppers, .some stamped with the royal ovals of Psammeticus, and some with those of Necho, his successor. The , empty jars, with quantities of other pottery, mostly broil en, were piled in a sort of rubbish closet outsi Je, and next was a small room, sacred to the k uillery maid or dish washer. It con- tained a recess with a sink, a bench to .stand things upon, and recesses in the wall by way of shelves. The5 sink was formed of a large day jbr with the bottom knocked out, and filled with broken potsherds placed on edge. The water ran through this and then into more broken pots below, placed one in an- other, all bottomless, going down to the clean sand belo^y. The potsherds were clogged with fish bones. In other chambers were found numbers of early Greek vases, ranging from 550 B. C. to 000 B. C., some very finely painted with harpies, sphinxes, dancers and the like; nearly all, however, were broken, but some can be mended. A sword handle, some scale armor, bronze rings, amulets, beads, seals, and especially two rings, engraved with the titles of a priest of Amen, have been found and many small tablets with inscriptions. Mr. Petrie has looked diligently for the stones which Jeremiah hid among the brick work, and some unhewn stones have been dug out from below the surface, but to identify them positively would, of course, bo impos- sible, unless the prophet had previously in- scribed them, which is unlikely. Egyptian inscriptions say that Nebuchadnezzar did come to Tahpanhes, and spread out hii- pavilion on that very spot, as foretold in Jeremiah's prophecy, but they say thai he was defeated. Babylonian-inscriptions state that he conquered, and the truth is hard to determine.—Pl\iladelpbia Times. All Preparations Made for the Meeting' — Judge Fitzgerald to Be Temporary Chairman.

IS.—President Egan an- nounced last evening that the Irish Na- tional League convention would meet at two p. m. to-day. He said that the ere-) ileiitiuls could not possibly be examined in time for an earlier meeting. Much speculation is expressed as to the num- ber of delegates that will be present at the opening of the convention. Under the constitution as many as 2,500 may come, but it is questionable whether more than 1,800 will form the deliberate body. Of these New York will come in with about 200, Pennsylvania with about 175, Massachusetts with perhaps 100. Among the leBser delegations Louisiana, Min- nesota and Nebraska figure with thirty each and Iowa with about forty. It is expected that one of the first measures to bo introduced in the convention will be the enforcement of the unit rule, hence the representation of the three first-named States is of the greatest importance. The National Executive Committee met last night secretly, with twenty Stat es rep- resented. It was decide 1 to put up Judge Fitzgerald, of Cincinnati, for temporary chairman. As to the platform, it is expected to be the same in spirit as before. It will be in favor of allowing the Irish to settle the question as to how th .* reforms shall be brought about, leaving the cause in the direction of Mr. Parnell and his party. it was chartredyesterday that the Egan- Sullivan-Finerty liianaa-ers intended to put through the convention in some shape a physical-force resolutiofi to hamper Parnell into the advocacy of such* a policy. This Mr. Egan positively denied, saying that the only way the -league had ever ham- pered the ^rreat Irish leader was by send- ing him • ail the money he needed and al- lowing him to spend it as he pleased. He predicted that this was the only way Mr. Parnell would ever be hampered by the league. "v hi a brief talk last night Judge Fitzger- ald said, in answer to a question as to his position in the ex peeled • contest for the presidency of the league. ''I'm for Par- nelj and Ireland. There is no other side. We will not listen to the fighters and ob- jectors. They and the schemers, if there are any, will not bo tolerated.- We simply wiil not have it." The three Irish Parliamentary delegates, accompanied by Mr. P. A. Collins, of Bos- ton, arrived last night at 10:80 o'clock. They were met at Michigan City by a recep- tion committer consisting of a delegate from each of the several leagues of the city, headed by Hon. John F. Fin- erty. Michael Davitt accompan- ied the recepti^ committee. Mr. Finnerty spoke a/ few words of wel- come whichwere feelingly replied to by Mr. O'Brien. On reaching the city the party was escorted to tho Grand Pacific Hotel. All three of the delegates ex pressed them- selves as much pleased with their trip and with the cordial welcome extended to them. They said that Mr. Parnell .was perfectly satisfied with the way in which the league had been managed in America, and hoped to see it con- ducted in the same way in the future. They did not think that there would be any con- flict in the convention, as the better sense of the delegates would prevail. They did not. think that any thing like physical force would be advo- cated or adopted, as all knew that it would be most disastrous to the cause whiph Mr. Parnell has so much at heart. After supper the delegates were taken to Mr. Egan's parlor, where a consultation lasting until after midnight was held. Mrrf. Parnell, mother of tho Irish leader, arrived from New York at 1:10 this morn- ing. She is stopping at the Palmer House. Many other members of the league reached the ciftv yesterday. Several State delegations held caucuses last night to decide on their moile of ac- tion, ■ The delegates who arrived yesterday nearly all declare for peace. They want to see harmony at all hazards, and will ef- fectually sit on any attempt to create dis- cord. They say that they came here to transact business and not to listen to any personal grievances or to hear old scandals retold. This is thekeynoteof the situation, and the vast majority of the del- egates—even those who are friendly to Egan and Sullivan—will pursue that policy. They say further that the American people are in sympathy with them, and that any quarrel will only disgust them and force them into withdrawing both their finan- cial and moral support. From all of which it seems that there will not be as much of a fight as has been predicted. insure Of every kiud at such prices as their sale. ! ! :\y ■■ ' ! | j , An early call solicited.
