Colonel Ernst thinks that the cannon have been carried off one by one by this man, and sold to some junk-dealer as old metal.
It is supposed that he must have had some accomplices to help him lift the cannon into his cart, and that he carefully steadied them so that they would not rumble and betray him, covered them up with tarpaulin, and drove out with them, under the very nose of the sentry, returning to fetch another at the next favorable opportunity.
Word has been sent to every junk-dealer, in hopes of finding the Monterey cannon before it has been put into the melting-pot.

LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG FRIENDS.
Dear Editor:
Is it asking too much of you, or is it out of your line of work to give your readers some information in regard to the old library at Tel-el-Amarna; and something about the present reigning family of Egypt, as to its origin and its political relations to the European powers?
If you have not room for a note on these, where could I obtain best account of them?
